Finishing the Make Your Own Gear Fastpack at Mount Rainier

Thank you for the series of videos on the making of this pack. I'm just learning about MYOG, have never sewn anything and finding your videos has given me some confidence. I appreciate your well produced videos and instructions, explaining the plan for the piece and then showing how the piece is made is very helpful for a newbie like me. Great footage of all the mountains btw, must have been breathtaking.

This is our last sewalong video of the MYOG Fastpack pattern available at LearnMYOG.com. Come along on our snowy hike at Mount Rainier. It's a fun build and I hope to see your version soon. Stick around until the end to see FOUR volcanos of the PNW. If you like this content, help the algo by giving it like! Thanks!

Fantastic Tutorial. One question: You don’t seem to add any seam-binding to the inside main assembly of the pack (video no.4 in this series) - any specific reason why not to? won’t the edges fray over time without it? thanks!

[@LearnMYOG]

I try to avoid seam binding by design and fabric selection. Laminate fabrics or high quality coated fabrics don’t fray much. Also very few of these panels have edges cut parallel to either grainline. Nothing wrong with seam binding if you want to do it for a longer lasting pack, I just don’t find it’s necessary in my uses.
