expedition pack

[mereside]

I took the plunge on doing a new pack for my next adventure whenever we are allowed to venture out, I liked the kifaru style and based it on the fulkrum, regards wayne

starting to take shape now and finding it very rewarding, regards wayne

Thanks the machine is great makes me look good, it's an old singer industrial from the 50's, she's a bit loud, I just bought an older pfaff with a servo and its sooo quite so I don't have to keep messing with tensions and different threads i now have two set up, I am really enjoying it, makes a huge change from welding lol.

Wow. I had a Fulcrum but it was huge even when compressed. Lovely job though.

The beauty of this I can make a smaller version now as a day pack, the material is so light but very strong so this will get me all my gear abroad then detach for a smaller version with meat carrier,regards wayne

 

[Damascus]

One word for that, impressive!

 

[Stanic]

Super cool. I make small items and repairs with grandma's heritage pedal Minerva, but nowhere near this level of skill

 

[Bishop]

Oh hell yes, that is very desireable

I loved the idea but Fulcrum was huge. A daysack with the appropriate scaling would be interesting. Keep the pattern. Where did you get the fabric?

Ripstop by the roll in the US great company to deal with and fast delivery I bought enough for a hammock and other bits and bobs it's 2.2oz hex70. what I find with commercial packs is the weight empty I wanted something that would hold up to large weight but as light as possible the whole pack weighs in at 4.2 lb

The plan is to make a meat shelf and water bladder pouch in one with maybe the vertical pods and that will be enough for my hunting needs from a base camp.
