Nice rucksack Neil

Thanks Steve. I see a few "modded" ones, but not many made from scratch. Hope it inspires one or two more....

That's a very nicely thought out rucksack Neil. As someone who enjoys making bags, I can imagine how many hours went into it.

What is the main green material ? I am on the lookout for something in that colour.

I can see that a lot of thought and work has gone into that. The skill level of some people on this forum just blows me away. Great job!

I like the look of that ... except it ain't in waxed canvas and leather wit brass fittings
As someone who has made a fair few packs in my time , I can see how much work and thought has gone into that pack.
Any thoughts of going into production with it?

There's some nice features the floating lid in particular as gear never packs back down in the field quite as nicely as it does at home.

Thanks Neil. I think I may have a sample of it that they sent me. I dont suppose you can remember their code for it ?

Haha John - the Munro is going to be used to make a pattern to make a leather & canvas version! I bought your book many years ago John - it was quite an inspiration.
There are no plans to go into production, as I'm not set up for that, but if there are any Rucksack Manufacturers reading this....send me a PM!

That's a very nice well thought out rucksack, modular and versatile. That old Munro is doing well too I must say, it's a year older than I am!

Well - you seem to have moved on from the "basics" of my book!

Your mitts pattern was superb John - I modded it a bit and turned out a very nice modular set.

I really like the look of that. You've created a wonderfully versatile pack - brilliant!

Neil. Did you happen to know the Profabrics code for the material ? Thanks Richard

looks similar to where I've been going with load carrying. using a LK35 pack, a downeast 1603 frame, molle straps and waist belt, and various british army pouches.
