I was involved in wildland fire suppression in interior Alaska for several decades. Alaska State Forestry and BLM in Alaska used surplus U.S. Army World War II packboards, that actually function similarly to your homemade frame. They were used on the fireline to carry Mark III and Mark 26 pumps, chainsaws, 5 gallon Jerry cans of fuel, cases of C-rations and MREs, 5 gallon cubitainers of potable water, 5 gallon Fedco water bladders with shoulder straps, etc. They also made a comfortable, dry seat. ... Firewood, fish, game, or a small outboard motor could be carried on one. They are extremely versatile. ... I looked online before typing this and they are still available for sale in new and used condition. ... I like your homemade pack frame. Thanks

I have had mine since 1981 and it was well aged then. It fits my back so perfectly. With one large bag and a smaller pocket for "to.hand" plus all the ways tomtie onto it, its much handier than modern packs with restrictive pocket sizes. What I wonder is how old mine is. The sides are held on with hemp rope stitched into the seam. Wide straps are army cotton and all other straps are leather. Body is canvas. Lable long gone. I have had to split some cracks which were there before I owned it. One half cracked upright and one cracked and splinted horizontal. I am currently refurmishing it for use. The frame has been resplinted and wrapped in duck tape and broken leather is being replaced with nylon. I love my pack.

Hard to say but there was such a surplus of OD webbing in the 50's due to WWII and Korea that with your description it could be from the 50's and into the early 60's. The coloration of fabrics and webbing tend to go more tan into the 60's and on. I hope that helps some. You can share a pic on my FB group if you like to get some more input and direction! Happy camping friend!

I have a more modern idea on this that has semi matured several times. I have an original Canadian Army alluminium packboard, complete with leather tumpline and accessories, that has been in my collection for many years. The shear potential is what fascinated me. Then a few years ago I found a French army folding frame that peaked my interest as well (no idea the history on it!) as paired with my Russian Veshmeshok it makes a brutally effective bushcraft carry option. Maybe even better than my Norwegian Telemark ruck!

Thank you for this great information! About 8 years ago I saw my first Trapper Nelson, so I had to have/make one. This was a first time creating anything like this, which means dying the canvas, making the straps, bending the wooden slat and so on. From there I have made 8 more each with my own variation. It has been a wonderful experience leading in to many other creations. Thanks again

Fascinating and interesting. You did a great job building your pack, impressive. I did a bit of comparing wearing my rather heavy hunting pack and carrying the rifle, with and without using the small waist belt. For me, I found taking just that little bit of weight from the shoulder straps and transferring it onto the waist belt made a large difference in comfort for my shoulders.

Were I to build a “trapper nelson” I’d incorporate the US Army hardwood lip at the bottom of the ladder frame. Approximately 3-3.5 inches wide. When used as a scout pack the bag itself, the duffel as it were, would rest over said lip making it visually irrelevant. However having that “shelf” enables a variety of other carries, sans the bag: a military surplus radio, rolls of commo wire, rolls of razor wire, a trappers bucket or open basket. A large galvanized tub. Ammo cans. Or even a caged animal. If I’m tolerating a 90 degree ladder frame against my spine, I’m definitely making it the most versatile pack/ pack board possible. A word of caution from a 51 year old who’s tried on many trapper nelson’s at flea markets & gun shows throughout the 80’s & 90’s. Back when they were more ubiquitous and could be purchased for $10. They’re uncomfortable. Bigtime uncomfortable. For that matter the triangular Roy Croft frame is by far the easier to wear of the two common homemade stick frames. Ladder frames are merciless. Great video & nice build 👍🏼

Awesome video! I'm considering building one of these for my scout troop. They're just getting back into backpacking, and many of them don't have packs. I think building their own packs could be a cool project to undertake for the boys, plus it will give them the chance to learn some essential woodworking and sewing skills. And, at the end, they'll have a cool pack to show for it! The only thing I'm struggling with is finding accurate measurements. I've come across some online, but it seems they're meant for a different type of pack. Are the cross braces all the same size and bent at the same angle? Thanks for sharing your version of the Nelson Trapper pack
@honorableoutfitters
@honorableoutfitters 11 месяцев назад
There were 3 different sizes. I would suggest customized packs because the width of shoulder blades and individual height can be very different from historic builds of people. I used 3/8" pine, soaked in hot water over night or a couple days (mileage may vary) and used a large paint can to bend 2 around (o) with bar squeeze clamps for the most control. Left them to dry for a week or 2. Make sure to cut them longer and trim from each side to get the desired width (I have yet to find a board stretcher) ;) I hope this helps. I had intended to make a how-to but the step by step process with recording is very involved.

That is a nicely done pack. I have two of the Trapper Nelson packs. I think the eyelet screws just going through the canvas needs to be a bit different as that is wear the canvas tears out. I am going to reinforce mine with leather. You might put gromments but I am not sure if they cince tight. The canvas gets stained so you might want to die it darker. The canvas can be repaired with canvas patches or leather. The leather shoulder straps might be better using cinch strap leather. Mainly latigo. I have thought of macking one with a bamboo frame but not that ambitious and sourcing quality bamboo here is not that easy. There was a company, I believe from Oregon that made one using cane from willows instead of canvas on the backboard back in the 1970s. No longer in business. Not sure how much colaberation Duluth Pack does but I bet Frost River would listen to ideas. They make good packs and at one time their employees were from Duluth Pack. Of course that was 22 years ago, they have probably retired by now.
@honorableoutfitters
@honorableoutfitters Год назад
That is awesome feedback my friend and I love the idea of reinforcing the eyelet holes with leather. It would add to the rugged look too! After making the video I had a few more ideas that came to me like putting one more eyelet above the top most one because the D ring is secure but not as secure due to the wire's ring...hard to describe but that is something I plan on changing. I also figured out a better way of lacing that will be in a future video.

@@honorableoutfitters In my backpacking days, I liked Jansport aluminum frames with the mesh insert to allow some ventilation. A padded hip belt was a welcome feature. I liked to carry the sleep system low, so the frame and bungees did it for me. There was a fad for using mountain climbing packs with internal stays for backpacking: I did that for a while and then went back to external frames.
