A very clean backpack.. consider me inspired to make some gear! Have you ever thought about making a chest pack? Something similar to the HELIKON-TEX chest pack? Would love to see your take on something like that?
THANK YOU! I’m working up the nerve to sew my final pack after many tweaks and decision paralysis haha, videos like this are immeasurably helpful for visual learners like myself!
Do you have an alternate link to your specs PDF? It looks like the website link is down but this pack build is really inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing! 🎉
FYI the ripstop by the roll podcast has an episode that mentions some special considerations that should be taken when sewing ultra (ie. stitch type, taping, etc.)
I just bought my first Singer heavy duty thanks to you! Please keep it up also if i were to make a request can you make a UL Chest rig/pack pattern generator? There seems to be a lack of UL chest packs in the market right now.
i still dont make my own gear, but every time i watch your videos i want to start. unfortunately my parisian flat won't let me have the space to buy a sewing machine... hope to be able soon to get one
could you please show how to sew the binding to the bottom of the bag and please let me know where I can find how to make and attach a hip belt to a bag like this. Thank you.
Hi there! Thanks for your videos! You’re channel has been such an inspiration and the reason why I started making my own gear! I’m about to give it a try and make this pack. I’m wondering, would you recommend using 5.0 oz dyneema as the main material for the pack? I have some big piece of it left after my last project …..
Hello! Thank you for posting this, it's amazing! Quick question: based on the measurements in the document for the cuts, it looks like you only would need 1yard of fabric for the body. Is that accurate? Or did you get a little more? Just wondering how much I should order so I can make this.
Looks like you are using the gutterman thread for this video. I have the same machine as you and when I use it, I get the birds nest on the bottom. What are you machines settings at? I tried to get it from the video but the I cannot see what the tension is at. Thanks. Great video.
That sucks, I feel for you! When something like this happens I usually change needle, rethread at least the top thread completely and then experiment with the tension on scraps. For whats its worth on my machine the tension is often set quite high, like a 6 or 7, I don’t think its supposed to be that high but for whatever reason it seems to work for me. Good luck
Another thing that can prevent the bird's nest is holding/lightly tugging the loose threads every time you start stitching. It's one of those simple things that can make all the difference!
You made my stupid ass believe that it is way too easy to make this backpack 😂 The design is so perfect and pro! This is such a wonderful video! Thank you for making this! Please upload more videos on the channel! Can’t wait to see more! 💛
Also, quick links check - So I opened the links to your website and designs below from India, and unfortunately they didn't load and gave a server error, so I had to use a VPN and was then able to access the website and files! Just bringing to your attention, that the website server might need a check for max compatibility across the world. All the love! 💌
Aloha. I was trying to access the PDF patterns you used for your packs, but it seems like your entire website has disappeared from existence and they are no longer available. Is there any way I might be able to get a copy of the PDF for the spec sheet you used for the 40 L pack? I'm willing to pay for the pattern.
@@tomaszpigowski3216 If you watch the video, you can actually freeze frame it when it gets to the specs, and you can copy all the measurements down. That's what I did. I am currently constructing the 40 L pack.
This was another great video and I'm going to incorporate some of these features into my first backpack. I downloaded the shoulder strap pattern. If you offer other patterns again, add an extra page that have it full size on a big sheet of paper, that way people can go to staples or something and get it printed full size, sometimes that's easier than piecing together multiple sheets.
Great job again on another awesome project. Sewing through the foam without the presser foot was a creative solution. Lol. Guess it’s time for a machine better suited to your projects!!
Skitsnygga videos! Kort och koncist! btw, du är svensk va? ;) Jag har precis köpt mig en symaskin och dina videos inspirerar! Ska gå en kurs snart här i götet, har du tips på kurser eller ställen att lära sig mer på/personer att lära sig från? Annars går jag loss på det som finns. Jag börjar här ;)
Terrific design and project. Kind of covers all the stuff I've wanted for years. Terrific water bottle pockets! (Who in the corporate day bag 'industry' thought it was a good idea to not have bottle pockets? For years I used either $20 day bags with pockets, or a $250 Sea To Summit, with bottle pockets -- but really crappy ones (Unless you're only going to carry two 500ml bottles. ) Add to this the $500 part I DIY repaired on my laptop because the bottle I had to put inside the bag leaked on my computer. While I probably won't be making this whole project... I carefully watched the section on the padded straps. This video is a resource far beyond this one bag. A huge contribution. Thank you.
This is a great pack (and video) and would love to make it myself. Is there any way you could post the pattern? I guess I could take a screenshot from the video but not as convenient as having a PDF pattern. Thank you!
This has a surprisingly rare straightforwardness and simplicity. I'd appreciate it if anyone could recommend instructional videos with a similar attitude.
Best video I have seen on MYOG so far. I was looking at making an ultra-lightweight 30L for short trips, and this is very close to what I was picturing...minus the magnets. Those are a nice extra to have.
It’s a decent machine that is certainly capable of making some gear, best thing about it is its affordability. I can’t compare since I’ve ever only used the Singer HD but I would imagine it is not worth it to upgrade if you already have a machine of similar price.
There is no literal pattern to print but you don’t need one, all the measurements are in the video and it’s all just straight lines, easily transfered to fabric…
