- I have decided that I would like to try and get a set of backpacking gear which is as close to 100% home made as I can. Some things I know won't be possible, but I'm going to try and see how much I can make.
In this video I put together a prototype of a backpack design which is the Mountain Flyer 35L pattern with a few changes. It's made from Tyvek homewrap for the main body, polyester spandex for the pockets, and a chopped up CCF pad for the padding in the straps. The final product is not perfect. I don't think I like the vest style straps very much - but Raiden seems to like them. The plan is to load it up and take it on a trip, once we are allowed back out exploring again, then make two versions the real thing for Raiden and I including any adjustments we decide we want.
This project took be around 4.5hrs to make over several evenings, working on it a little bit at a time. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
Good work
Thank you! Cheers!
Gosh you're channel keeps getting more interesting the more I look!!...clever lass
Wow, thank you!
Very Cool ! Im really happy with my current backpack and tent . Maybe in the future I’ll buy The Chilly Bin Company Backpack 🎒! 😁👍
I like it. When I started to sew I thought of my seam ripper as something that I would never use. How naive I was. I use mine more than I would have ever imagine. I like your shoulder straps.
I still like to think that I won't use my seam ripper, but secretly it's my best friend!
MIni Clips are the way to go if you don't want holes! You can buy them at all the craft or material stores and even Walmart. You could also use double stick tape, Sailrite carries just about every width. The pack turned out great. I've made several packs too and adjusting the shoulder straps is the most diffucult part
I absolutely hate mini clips! I find them awkward and inaccurate especially for curved seams. Since making this video I've perfected my pinning game and made several more packs. Haven't videoed the process, but the next one will be documented 😀
@@ChillyBinHikes Haha I love them! Glad you got the pinning worked out. How much did the Tyvek pack weigh? Also it looked like you put catenary curves in your tent video, if so how did you calculate those.
I don't know how much this one weighed, it was just a prototype and it didn't matter too much. I made a better version of it which weighed in a 10oz/280g. Video of that one can be found here th-cam.com/video/J7ZMqYF_cg0/w-d-xo.html
For my cat curves I just did a bit of a search on the internet and the general advice seemed to be about 1in per yard. In the end I went with 2cm per meter which is a bit less, but I didn't want to loose too much headroom, and was happy with the cuts I ended up with.
Amazing work! You are very talented. 👏
A lacing sytstem could be interesting on the back to put a little seat pad, it could prevent the sweat not go in the fabric
I've done a few more versions of this pack since the prototype (most recently here th-cam.com/video/hM6yelDnsj8/w-d-xo.html). I generally keep away from any sort of back pad. In the past I had a bag with that sort of set up, but ended up taking the pad out as I didn't need the support and it just added extra weight to the bag 😀 My current choice of pack fabric is waterproof, so no issues with the pack soaking up sweat.
Excellent video and project. It is pretty kool that the only two girls that have shown making their own gear are from NZ. Also, NZ seems to be handling the wuhan virus very well.
I like the prototype. It's always a good idea when building something new. I looked at using Tyvek for a tarp and a footprint. I heard stories that it isn't always waterproof so I've been waiting to get some building scraps instead of buying a roll. On a personal note, I just finished the antibiotics for my eighth tick disease. I never saw the ticks or the bites for the last 3 times.
Thanks for posting your project. Good Luck to Us All, Rick
I’m so glad I didn’t buy that pattern. I actually just used C. Zimmer’s pattern on a pack with some cottage gear dimensions and made my own. Yours came out pretty good.
Thanks - Several versions later and I'm still tweaking the design. I think the next version will be substantially different than this one, but the best one yet!
Insane for only 4.5 hours work! I just bought a ULA Circuit as part of a move to more UL style gear, which your design features remind me of. I've been having trouble finding a reliable source of Tyvek in NZ!
I have a few extra features which I will add to the next version including an ice axe loop and top strap. I thought about using tyvek for stuff when I was still back in NZ but I couldn't figure out where to buy it at a good price, I debating asking at a construction site but I was too chicken. Here in Canada I was able to just buy a roll off the shelf at home depot.
Nice music, has a Funky Meters vibe!
For that stretch material you can get a walking foot attachment. They’re pretty universal and work well on slippery fabrics. I got mine on amazon for like $7
Button an Alice pack and use the material from that, it’s a cheap surplus bag with high quality material
Damn that's so cool. I'd love to learn the basics of sewing to bring my personal take on a backpack to life too :D. Well if you for some weird Reason want to learn basics in 3D printing, lasercutting, woodworking or rapid prototyping I welcome you at my workshop maybe in return you can give me a sewing lesson ? ☺️ Anyways well done, please keep up the spirit!
Wow! You are really talented! I wouldn't know where to start. 🤣 I look forward to watching how these projects develop. Subscribed to also follow your hikes (#349). I hope our channels grow together. 💪
Thanks! I've been sewing since I was a kid, not gear but clothing mostly. This is a new adventure for me!
@@ChillyBinHikes 👍😀
Hi, do you make tbese ro sell? Thanks
Yes I do. You can check them out at www.kiwiultralight.co.nz/product-page/pack
where did you get the tyvex?
I got a roll fairly cheap at my local Home Depot. If you buy there you have to get a fairly large quantity. You can get it in smaller sheets from Amazon instead
Sounds like phish a bit
