EXCELLENT video...I came across a pack frame in my late Scoutmaster's garage...dated 1943 !!! No one knew what it was...my old Boy Scout knowledge helped me ....His own son had no idea how old the frame was..had to show him the stencil...blew his mind...
I've done something similar but I used two smaller saplings, tied them together, big end to small end, and heat bent them to shape so they'd be the same, then lightly notched the insides for my cross pieces. It works pretty well but if you're not careful it might twist a bit, once it's loaded and on your back that straightens out though.
Love your video. I think i make viking backpack myself in next video. Thanks you for this very specific video. Best regards from Estonia! Stigandr Bushcraft
@Equimanthorn, The Mushroom Man pack frames are far more superior. Gore tex is a scam. Old school backpackers know external frame back packs are the best for heavy wheight.
@Equimanthorn, The Mushroom Man going to a real carpenter, buying some "tactical strapas harnesses". And at option, water proof bags, orr bags. You can make a far more superior backpack for under 150$ far more superior. Goretex is a scam remember.
Hey! I'm a Viking reenactor who's so I just built this, I used Jute and beeswax for the lashings however it's loosened up. Where did you get your lashings from?
@@susanp.collins7834 I tried to use wet rawhide for my second attempt and tightened it and it loosened the same. I've been using a screw now and then wrapping it over with sinew.
Heathens Horns look around the webb for viking axe/hatchet, be sure to get one that specify the steel at get one with carbonsteel because the ones made from stainless steel are made from 440C or 440A steel and that is pure garbage, wouldn't even do for kitchenwear. Cold steel has some viking hawks made from carbonsteel imported from sweden they are quite good actually and not to high of a price.
@@yoursexualizedgrandparents6929 not true. they have no tools that i can find at all. plus, the weapons they sell are what I'd call "place-holder" grade. that is, you might carry one, with no small amount of embarrassment, until you can afford a decent repro. at least in the "dark ages" category that I'm interested in.
@@birdmilk6499 I mean it was more of an exaggeration, but it's the only place I know of to get that kind of stuff. And most of the stuff they have is high quality for the prices, so it just seems like a good place to look if you want quality.
Do you recomande hard or soft wood for the ''U frame'' shape? I mean... hard wood is more durable but probably harder to bend, and soft wood easier to bend but less durable? I guess that must depant on the weight you would carry .
You missed the important part. It has 2 loops on the belt to put lower ends in, and thus put all the weights on belt and not shoulders. Also, you may use thin modern cord instead of old thick rope to wire it together.
Alright so here’s my plan...I’m gonna make some rope from dried grass then I’m gonna water proof the rope with some tar then I’m going to use the water proof rope to make this pack...wish me luck
@@ReasonAboveEverything oh boy it went alright 😂 so I made the rope kinda I didn't really have the right type of grass in my area so I had to go out of my way for it then after I had taught myself to make rope I had to extract the tar from some pine logs I had and I coated and trimmed the grass rope after it all dried out to make it look nicer and it actually kinda looked like rope ngl I was pretty proud of myself now when the back pack part came I underestimated the amount of rope I needed for sure part of me was just lazy and didn't want to make alot lol and I kinda had part of it made bit it eventually turned into an abandoned project sitting in my shed for 6 months lol
Ötzi the Iceman, who lived 4000 years before the vikings, had a more fancy backpack than that although similar model. Vikings had developed much more advanced versions of backpacks such as i.pinimg.com/736x/86/99/ed/8699ed9b7ca38b8b8449c771f9be12d5--viking-age-wicker.jpg and i.pinimg.com/736x/5d/77/c1/5d77c150f003aa881467f0cf0ecbf6f1--wicker-vikings.jpg.
Knowing how to make a fancy backpack is not the same as nessicarily having a need for one. These frames have been used in both simple and complex versions up till modern times.
Конечно любую! Приёмы работы с различной древесиной мало чем отличаются друг от друга. Тем более в таком случае, и с сырым деревом. Над огнём дерево будет гореть, а над углями, древесина будет прогреваться в глубину. При этом она хорошенько пропарится, а при желании и наличии времени, её можно даже высушить до приемлемой кондиции. Главное не перегреть, если древесина примет золотистый цвет, это нормально, а если коричневый, то это уже пережарили деревяшку. Этого желательно не допускать.
Because you can wash the clothing by hands,… that‘s what I do with my gear. Nobody like to stink and feel uncomfortable in clothes full of sweat. Not today and not back than, our noses are delicate and warn us from danger. So if your cloth smell bad it‘s your brain telling you: burn it in fire or wash it, cause what ever makes it stink, might be super unhealthy for your body.
I love how these videos have no talking and yet tell you everything you need to know
We're trying so much! Thanks :)
thats the benefit of stick technology
I agree completely. Beautifully done.
Doesn't tell you what kind of wood ,some wood heats and bends like he did,some don't also depends on time of year!
@@randalmroczka7247 The wood is hazel and it's midd summer.

wow, that turned out way cooler than i expected. nice job
Excellent! I really enjoy learning from your group

Truly an excellent video on how man / woman can improve there plight quickly
freaking cool. I'm going to have to make myself one of these for day hikes.
Excellent job on that frame, I really enjoyed this video!
I started to do mine. ❤ Thank you!
I love this channel.
Awesome! Nicely made. Love these kind of videos
Thank you :)
Nice made.
Love your video. I think i make viking backpack myself in next video. Thanks you for this very specific video.

Thank you, we are glad you like it. Fingers crossed! ;)
Awesome vid man. Thank you.
Maybe even person like me can make that back pack in a day 😅👍👏
Well done!
Thank you :)
I’ve made a backpack following this video, it looks good but I have not tested it on a long journey yet.
Brilliant. helpful and well made as ever
,I will have a go...coolio!
Excellent
Well done. Thanks. 👍❤🇲🇦
You are welcome :)
who need fancy 200 $ goretex backpack

Didn't the cool vikings wear only one strap?
“Good audio.”
“What?”

Is it best to choose hazel in the spring when the sap is rising??
Yes sir. Very cool
Subbed
Thanks :)
that's Oetzi's backpack.
Ver good Work!
Very cool!
Brilliant. Does it take a long time to heat the bough in order to bend it like this?
Hey! I'm a Viking reenactor who's so I just built this, I used Jute and beeswax for the lashings however it's loosened up. Where did you get your lashings from?
Next time use wet leather. As it dries it will shrink and hold everything very tightly.
@@susanp.collins7834 I tried to use wet rawhide for my second attempt and tightened it and it loosened the same. I've been using a screw now and then wrapping it over with sinew.
Interesting, not too different from Ötzi's, surprisingly similar actually!
can you make a buck saw...?
any way i like this video
Who made the axe/where was it purchased? Looking to get one very similar, and would love to buy one instead of make one.

Check out kult of athena.
They've got every Viking tool you need and more.

What was used for the bindings ?
Looks like it's probably rawhide. Soak it till soft, when it dries it hardens and shrinks for a tight bind.
How many of these do you think you could make in a day's work if you wanted to outfit a group of people?
Depend on number of people whitch made it.
I'm a wuss when it comes to straps - I wonder how comfortable these are/were to wear.
It's not for long wearing. Leather or textile straps are much better.
Looks like a Neolithic Ötzi the iceman pack
Do you recomande hard or soft wood for the ''U frame'' shape? I mean... hard wood is more durable but probably harder to bend, and soft wood easier to bend but less durable? I guess that must depant on the weight you would carry .
I'm going out to make mine ;)
Okay do I need this? No. Do I want this? Yes. I really do.
竹で作ろうと思う。フレームザックかっこいいよね竹で作ったら。Thank you!
You missed the important part. It has 2 loops on the belt to put lower ends in, and thus put all the weights on belt and not shoulders. Also, you may use thin modern cord instead of old thick rope to wire it together.
if it used a modern string it would no longer be historical
Cool video :) what type of this axe?
Viking age axe type G or H
Jajajajajaja fantástico 👍👍👍
Does this work with Burch?
What axe is that his using and dose anyone know where I could buy
Where did you get your winnengas?
Who made the axe?
May I ask how tall the stick you used was?
IT depends on how long backpack you wish. I use 140cm
Thank you so much for responding! and I am short so I might subtract some cm
Alright so here’s my plan...I’m gonna make some rope from dried grass then I’m gonna water proof the rope with some tar then I’m going to use the water proof rope to make this pack...wish me luck

i'm not sure...but i think that Jan Zbranek helped out with this.
Helped with with what? :)
Дерево надо греть не над пламенем костра, а над жаром углей.
The tree should be heated not over a fire flame, and over heat of coals.
can any flexible wood be heated like this or just particular species, like this beech?
Конечно любую! Приёмы работы с различной древесиной мало чем отличаются друг от друга. Тем более в таком случае, и с сырым деревом. Над огнём дерево будет гореть, а над углями, древесина будет прогреваться в глубину.

my russian isnt that good but I think I got something from your answer. Thank you, Sergiej
It worked though, right ?
Hmm, ta gumička ve vlasech není moc LH
Podaří se ;)
I love learning how to be a man
why are their clothes so clean?
Bustin Feelsgood yup, it’s a tide add
Because Hollywood tells us vikings were covered in mud all the time, when really most ancient people had access to clean water, soap and elbow grease.
Because you can wash the clothing by hands,… that‘s what I do with my gear. Nobody like to stink and feel uncomfortable in clothes full of sweat. Not today and not back than, our noses are delicate and warn us from danger.
So if your cloth smell bad it‘s your brain telling you: burn it in fire or wash it, cause what ever makes it stink, might be super unhealthy for your body.
Step 1: Build a fire so you can burn all your first attempts.
:D
I am pretty sure you can still buy handbook with all details you need on woodprix.
*slow clap
I will not hurry in my life when it is not necessary ;)
It's the same as Otzi's. K.I.S.S. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from woodprix.
Just do it yourself, go to woodprix page and learn how .
A great variety of designs is on the Stodoys plans website.
Great to see that Woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.
There are many similar projects in woodglut's plans.
Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
I bought plans from Stodoys and did it very quickly.
Thats a lot of pointless work just to carry 2 smal wool blanets and an axe lol
What material is the rope?
