'The Yukon' vintage pack
- Thread starter Chiseller
- Start date
Blacks had been going from the 1860's as a sailmaker. They did a lot of war work during the first and second world wars (tents and boat fenders etc).
I'm not sure if their original Greenock factory ever re-opened as it was blown up in 1941 in an air raid.
I think JD Sports took them over not too long ago.

p.s.
That bag wants to come and live with me....
Just been reading up on them. If it does go, I think it will have to be auction as its quite special, and will give more folk a crack at it.

To keep the bag attached to the frame.
Looks like they're eye bolts screwed into the wooden frame - The tabs on the bag slip over the eye bolts and the bar stops them slipping off again.
That would be the obvious answer, but the frame is secured enough without the rods. I'll get some more pics up soon. Cheers
once you load the bag up and start hiking the weight is going to shift around and the tabs may unhook themselves from the eye bolts. They look to have slots in them which will fit over the eye bolts.
Looks like a Trapper Nelson pack: http://patentpending.blogs.com/patent_pending_blog/2005/01/the_trapper_nel.html
It was a fantastic piece of kit. Sat on the back better than a good bergen. :thumbup: One or two places to stash a silky saw too
