These are terrific videos, with some very interesting research. But when you make more, can I respectfully suggest that you spend a little time at the start showing people the end result and explaining how all the parts will fit together. That would help get everyone oriented before you dive into the detailed work.
Haha! Thank you! I really investigated about backpack load reduction methods and released the results as research papers. I’m glad if the contents satisfied you.
Hi! I am currently binging your fantastic videos, thanks you for taking the time to produce them. Can you explain the point of the polyethylene piece/panel between the shoulder straps please? Thanks, Scott
Thank you for your comment. The polyethylene piece was used for a core to hide the gap between sewing margin of shoulder straps and middle of the back panel. If I sewed it with only a fabric part, the shape of sewing margins of shoulder straps would have appeared on the surface because the margins were thick.
Very nice, exactly what I was looking for. I'm building a modular yoke system for a hunting lumbar belt. I want to be able to remove the rear straps and add different packs where the straps attach. Some small packs for day trips, some with an internal frame and large for over night. Look at Marsupial Packs, my design is similar but not an exact copy. My lumbar belt is set up for the gun range as well.
Thank you for your comment. If shoulder straps and back panel are exchangeable, they can demonstrate their performance whenever users use any pack bodies. And I think that MYOG is the best way to realize the gear specs that match user’s body shape or taste of fitting.
@@BackpackResearcher exactly my thoughts. The back panel/pack just replaces the back shoulder straps that are used only when the lumbar belt is in use without any pack
Please make a full backpack tutorial , or a bag insert tutorial ! - I live in tokyo and need work tools that i cant seem to find other places . Thank you !
Thank you for your comment! Now I’m editing the tutorial video of making bag body that I used in my hiking videos. Please wait until released. And the bag detail is released in my Instagram account “nentawk”.
Great video, second time I'm watching it probably not the last. I am designing my own backpack att the moment and will definitely incorporate some of your design ideas. Is there a purpose to the curve where the shoulder straps attaches to the lower portion of the back panel? or just a design feature? also how necessary are the aluminium bars? isn't the plastic sheet sturdy enough on its own?
Thank you for your comment. The curve of the shoulder strap end did not depend on engineering, but just my preference. Then, regarding the panel core, if you want the back gap for ventilation, the panel needs stiffness in the vertical direction. If you use only a plastic sheet for the panel core, it might be bent when you put heavy stuff in the bag.
WoW! You are really good at this! I got really inspired, what is the hardness of the foam? You use polyurethane for the harness and polyethylene for the Lombard part?
Thank you for your comment. Shoulder straps adopted two layered foam for the core. And regarding the hardness of foam, I have already replied for someone’s question in shoulder strap making video. Please check the video! You can also know how and why about it.
Wow, you're beautiful, you're an artist, the way you work is really perfect, can i get the pattern for the backpack, thank you very much, I'll really enjoy watching you do it, I learned a lot
You comment encouraged me greatly. Thanks! Regarding the patterns, I haven’t released them, because I don’t want them used in commerce. Instead of it, I will advise if you have a problem for your making.
So interesting! Thanks for sharing. Am thinking of making a small backpack for daily use for laptop, the total load should be less than 3kg. Can i use eva foam for the bag straps? What do you think?
Friend, there is no need to melt the cut edge of the Velcro tape with lighter. Velcro is woven in the way so its not fraying along the perpendicular edge (unlike webbing). Its fraying only along the long edges and it is held by proper dense weave and PU coating n the wrong side. I am the gear designer for 15 years, also I visited the hook and loop factory and Ive seen the machines that make hook and loop
Thanks. As you mentioned, it can tear horizontally depends on cut. It actually occurred when I was making. So, I did that treatment resorting to a sure means. Today, I asked a sample maker about this. He said he doesn’t do that. But I asked a person who is in charge of production management of a factory, and he said it does heat cut velcro for the purpose of both cutting and fray stopping. So, you can decide to do depending on whether you care about it or not.
I'm trying to design something similar, i was thinking of a smaller bagpack with a little curve around the scapula, would that be useful in terms of ergonomy?
Thank you for your comment. I don’t know your concrete design. What is it aimed at? The pad shape and thickness have some effects; load distribution, making a gap for ventilation, less interference with upper arm motion, and etc. And a preferable design should differ its purpose. Regarding the load distribution, please check below as a reference for the pad design. ua-cam.com/video/9ZBaBVIg874/v-deo.html

こんにちは。いつも楽しく拝見しています。この動画を見ていたら、自分も作りたくなってきました！
画像がとても雰囲気のある感じですが、カメラは何を使用しているのですか？
コメントありがとうございます！励みになります。
この動画はiPhone12Proでfilmic proというアプリを使って撮りました！
@@BackpackResearcher
お忙しいところ、お返事ありがとうございます。早速ダウンロードしましたが、これは基本的なカメラの理解が必要ですね。
アップされている動画は4kですか？
2kで撮っています。
元々は、蛍光灯の下で撮影することが多いので、フリッカー対策でフレームレートを50fpsに設定するために導入した感じです。
ありがとうございます。最後に一つだけ聞かせて下さい。
編集ソフトは何を使われてますか？
調べたところ、アプリならLumaFusion 、
長い目で見て、スキルを高めていくならAdobeのプレミアかと思っております。（動画編集初心者です）
PC購入時に付いてきたPowerDirectorを使っています！一部の機能しか使いこなせていません…
こだわり出すとキリがないので、編集に納得できないものは後に消すことも考えて、少しでも早くアップすることを優先しました。
So interesting! Thanks for sharing. Am thinking of making a small backpack for daily use for laptop, the total load should be less than 3kg. Can i use eva foam for the bag straps? What do you think?
I think that it’s okay. But if it’s too stiff against the pack load, maybe you can’t wear it properly. So, please find out your specs!
@@BackpackResearcher Thank you! There are limited materials sold in shops where i live, but I'll find out about alternatives too.

What is that white strip tap you used?
I don’t know what you are talking about.
But, it might be a tabletop light for sewing machine.
@@BackpackResearcher i think they're talking about seam tape
Do you have the .pdf pattern for your backpack panel and ergonomic backpack?
Sorry, I haven’t released them, because I don’t want them used in commerce.
Hello! What is the type of black plate? at 21:30 please. thanks you :D
Thank you for your comment.
It’s a foam sheet ordinary used for the bottom core of bag. But a solid sheet is also okay.
Great! Do you have a pattern file?
Thank you for your comment. And sorry, I don’t have a pattern file to distribute.
