Actually this is very useful. What I like most about your videos is they are short, to the point and you focus on just a few bushcraft items for people to practice on.

Thank You for another great video. Just FYI…I am the wife. LOL My husband rolls his eyes at my bushcraft supplies and knowledge.

WoW! Thank You! Someone else already said it but I have to agree. Short, focused and not only easy to understand but nearly impossible to forget! You take what is probably the result of countless hours of trial and error experience and condense it into an easy to follow, simple set of common sense instructions. I particularly like the way you cut to the core principles because I find I can take that little nugget and apply it to such an unbelievably broad range of materials and situations. Thank You again for the work and care you clearly put into every upload.

Excellent process and description. This was exactly how we handled it with our wooden Trapper Nelson frames using the old Army tent halves. Eventually we dropped pack weight by using plastic drop cloths for tarps-perfect for the PNW winter wet! Thanks for bringing this to mind. We replaced the wooden Trapper Nelson's with aluminum skylines in the late 60s, I've still got mine and it might be a fun surprise to do some miles in there PCT next summer kitted out like this 😂

Wife and I love your videos. Thank you!

Man, this is a slick look.

Always good stuff Coalcracker Dan!

Good video Dan, Mors would be happy. 🙌

great video Dan! Thanks for the tip about the aluminium frame, I still have one from the older days😂. All the best from Austria!!!🤠👍🍻🔥

Short and to the point that's it right there short and to the point. You make things so simple to understand no wonder you're a teacher or instructor whichever you want to be called. This is the one I was waiting for I already had a good idea of the way I was going to do it and you gave me a few more tips. Thanks so much now I have to drill this into my grandson's head. Thanks for the video Dan you always do a good job. Stay vigilant!

Awesome video, Thanks Dan.

As always, some very useful knowledge.

Great video with an interesting and practical example of an improvised pack!

Great video! This is really helpful in showing how a pack frame works & letting folks believe that they can get out and do this.

Fantastic video

Another great video. Thanks. I never really thought about how low profile this pack out would be. no wasted fabric.

Excellent video.

That is one of the coolest packs!!!! Nicely done man!!!!!😁😁😁😁

Yessss! I'ma do this, Dan! Woot!

Love your tutorials 👍 keep em coming

Good info- I just recently made a poplar ladder pack frame and am going to get my canvas tarp out and try this out. The wood pieces that I used for my frame are a little bigger, so I hope it works. Thanks for the videos and instruction. Be safe out there-

Nicely done friend!

Amazing!! I will start to build my own 👍👍

One thing I have always loved about Dan is that all his videos r just some way different to all the other bushcrafters shit, I always try an watch bushcraft instructors videos as there is so much more knowledge put into every single detail instead of these weekend bushcrafts but Dan ur a fucking legend mate big up from Liverpool uk

Sounds good on my end. And thanks friend ❤️

Love your version of camp crocs!

That's ace stuff loved watching

Thanks for the great video

Really like the DIY videos

Consider a “diamond O” hitch for securing a pack to a frame. And, maybe a pair of prussic knots in the bottom 2/3rds of the uprights for lashing on large or irregularly shaped loads. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Sweet! And that's how you do it and do it right ladies and gentlemen. Excellent setup! I can't wait, can not wait,can't frigging wait to get one of those new packs!! And flannels? I'll never buy a flannel from anywhere else now,hope there's a red and black color coming out. My wife didn't mind dropping me off at the school she probably wanted me to stay 😄 🤣..she knows I cant wait to get back there though. Awesome video as always brother 👍 💯

Excellent technique.

You can never obsess too much about how to pack & schlepp all your stuff around😂my husband always packs at the last 5 minutes- drives me crazy😬

Thanks Dan

Great info, as always! Thanks! :)

What do you use for straps? And how would you attach them?

Very nice

I really like that vid many thanks.

This was quire useful to me 🤠 thanks mister

Great video! Solid information and easy to understand. Now, what about the pack straps?

Good morning from Syracuse NY USA brother

Very cool

Excellent! Thankee!

KZfaq transcoding delay. Refresh and it works

Cool! Helpful information, and a joke at the end.

A tall strong man who is good at teaching and kind hearted and knows how to bushcraft, what more would a woman want ? ;)

This would do great on the old 80s back frame I have Love the feel of the pack but am not sure how to change the straps and include chest buckles and side pouches to it Enjoy your videos Blessings

Said that to my ol lady and her response was "thank God." 😳

i am going out solo for 7 nights on sunday and have been thinking about doing this, but will be using existing LK35 frame i have - one thing i am thinking about doing which other might like isput the contents of pack in a black bag (drum liner etc) and then lay that on the blanket before i start the folding - main reason is that if i get to my basecamp and it is raining then while i put the tarp up, everthing will still be dry in the bag and then during the week i am sure i will then use the black bag for multiple things

Man, your paracord is all frayed out. Lol 😂 Nice load out. 👍

Very clever

Thanks!

Good stuff :)

Its why my go to pack is an LC1 or LC2 ALICE.

Still waiting to be let back into the house after taking over the living room 😉

Thanks. I just bought a giant cheap backpack off ebay and I'm not excited about it. I really need to go more basic and bushcrafty!

I like that , I have BOBS all over but that folding method will definitely come in handy , thanks cracker.

TMNT FOREVER DUDES AND DUDETTE'S!

Be blessed

Pretty damn sweet

Two questions. 1. If your using a gum blanket as well, do you lay it flat with the tarp of fold it in with the wool blanket? 2. Is it possible to have a flap on the outside (I saw yours facing towards the frame) so you could add any other or forgotten items like a normal pack?

Good.

Its weird that about a month ago i thought about doing something similar but more bed roll set up and no frame and i have seen about 5 videos on making a pack frame pop up on my feed ect

You know that you can melt the ends of your parcord, lol. Great information and video thank you......

Awesome but how or what do you do for shoulder straps ??? Wish that was included 🤔 Oh never mind another video I see 🙄

I kind of want to try packing like this on my Alice frame. However, I dont have a quality tarp, just sil-nylon tarps. Also, my pack is set up in a tried and true for upcoming camping trip, and wouldnt be ideal to have a gear failure with an untested setup

Or you can call your husband into the living room and show HIM how to set this up! ;) I mean, hey Dan, you definitely have some femaie bushcrafters here! ♥😉

Can my wife throw me out of the living room? Haha. Just kidding. Neat video!

Might be worth mentioning besides spreading out the bulk of your gear spread out the weight even as well, you never want one side of your pack heavier than the other

1:16 - whipsnake!

DONT EVER STOP DOING THIS STUFF ...i say this in caps cos DON'T ☺

Dan you’re a good teacher. Then reach into your pocket for customized shoulder straps. Maybe just tie this to a golf cart or a 4X4 RV. 😕 Or, just buy an Army duffle bag, throw it in the back of your truck with your other camping gear.

I may have missed it in another video or something but how do you wear this?

Thanks for the video! Just a curiosity: in many videos I see putting the compass in pouches containing other metal objects (spoons, saw, etc.), doesn't this demagnetize the compass? Thank you

OMG ! Frayed ends on your cordage ! LMAO

We gotter packed! How do you carry it?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How do you carry it?

👍

Why is the middle "bar" so close to the top, rather than being centered, and on the inside of the frame?

Fyi those are cross bars not uprights you have to fold the blanket to the width of in the second step.

10/10

Sounds great but an oil soaked tarp looks really heavy

Hassle?

With the sound you dont have audio first. You have to click the video away and than click on it aigain

🙂👍

'throw the wife out of the living room', pretty brave talk from a man that never met my wife! hahaha.

How come nobody puts the soft side towards their back? Like a pillow. The frame still supports the weight, and It's warmer and way more comfortable. You can fold it so a dry side is on your back. Jus sayin

Serious inquiry here; Having watched Many bushcraft videos about packing gear, I've noticed nobody ever seems to have one important feature of clothing. They all seem to lack pockets. No shirt pockets, no pants pockets. I find it really hard to believe, honestly. I myself keep several items in my pockets when I'm out in the woods. Some items are too important or needed too often for all that packing and unpacking baloney. Question being, why this seeming oversight by so many teachers? PS, I'm asking the person who made the video, not all you random nobodies who think every comment or question is meant for you.

Something is wrong with the audio file 😅

@0:52 🤣

'Tarp Envy' anyone? Blue just dont look the same.

Where are the straps of the backpack? Good video otherwise!

It’s been 3 days and my wife hasn’t let me come home yet. I’m out of chicken nuggets. What do I do? 🆘

...throw the wife out... LOL

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Yeah stay in the woods and away from the Wife

You know you can melt the ends of the para cord right? Haha jokes.

Hey Dan, color me stupid. I think I’m gonna need some way to carry it on my shoulders?

*hassle 😉
