Dear Corporal, I hope this comment reaches you. I wanted to express how much I've been enjoying your older videos, including this one and others from a similar era. The techniques you demonstrate in these videos are exactly what I'm looking to learn for my upcoming Pathfinder School training. My goal is to make it to the morning of the Advanced Survival Class feeling confident, prepared, and ready to tackle any challenge. I was wondering if you have any other videos that could help me practice these techniques at different difficulty levels. Specifically, I'm interested in finding ways to practice skills like knot tying without always needing to be out in the wilderness. It would be great if you could show alternative methods or exercises that can be done at home or while on the go. Of course, I understand the importance of actually practicing in the bush, but having additional ways to reinforce these skills outside of those trips would be incredibly beneficial. I envision a sort of "workout list" format, where I could do repetitions of various knots like 10 bowlines and 10 arbor knots. This would allow me to practice and improve my skills even when I can't be in a wilderness setting. I apologize if my feedback seems inexperienced or lacking, but I genuinely appreciate your dedication to the Survival Community. Your videos have been a great source of inspiration and knowledge for me, and I eagerly look forward to any future content you create. Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I wish you continued success. Please know that I will be avidly watching and supporting your videos. Respectfully, A Fellow Veteran
Corporals Corner my grandfather raised me he was also navy vietnam era was on the henry w tucker and ss dehaven... But anyways i love your channel amd learn a lot ty for your service and for your vids sir!
i've been researching DIY pack frames on UA-cam and yours is one of the simplest, most practical and (from what i can see) totally effective method of construction. nicely done! and thank you.
Had a backpack frame disintegrate on me many miles from anywhere in high Sierra years ago. This knowledge would have saved me a lot of stress and may save a life in the future. Have a Merry Christmas and TYVM!
I know this is an old video, but what might be great is seeing you make an updated vid showing how you pack this frame with your tarp/cover and how you arrange kit items inside for max efficiency. As well as how you bind it and affix items crafted in the field, I.e, collapsible bucksaw… This would be very helpful for people who are planning on attending the intermediate/advanced course at the Pathfinder school… Since making/loading pack frames to carry gear seems to be an essential part of both courses. Merry Christmas, 2021, Corporal Kelly & a happy New Year.
This type of info is why I watch your channel. Practical info. Well instructed. Easy to understand. And very applicable to situation's in real world situations. Very good. Merry Christmas.
Thanks, I believe this will help me also in building a frame of sorts to put on my ocean kayak, so I can turn it into a fishing kayak. I appreciate your videos very much!!!
lm heavily into survival technique , l appreciate how many truly helpful videos you put out , l made up a day pack out of my hand bag its made of army green canvas and has everything but food l carry it with me so lm ready for anything , its heavy but l figure it will make me stronger . anyway thank you for your support of all of us that still have a ways to go in prepping for the future and all it has in store .
thats an awesome frame! i could also see the potential to add a small rack to the bottom of it not only to aid in carrying heavier loads but also giving the ability to tie this frame off to a tree and using it for a hunting chair or a little higher being a sort of toiletry stand for shaving/grooming purposes, im sure theres alot more but thats what popped up in my mind at the moment. anyways great video and awesome design! keep em coming corporal!
One reason I've kept my Kelty Super Tioga for the past 25 years. I've never been a fan of the big-bag internal frame packs. External frame is still lighter and more versatile. In a pinch I can pull the pack bags and use the frame for carrying game out of the woods.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. With these advanced years, not likely that I'll ever build one of either style, myself. That didn't stop me from enjoying and appreciating your how-to video, for 2 reasons. Teaching all the other folks who are more likely to try it for pleasure or need. And, if the need arises, I may be able to teach others to take advantage of your "ladder". Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Truly excellent and a field build extraordinaire. For firewood collecting, one can add a couple of cantilevered arms held by straps from top cross-member. Helps hold "sticks" and allows for more stable load. Let alone removable for latter use as pack frame. Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Very useful, I just found your channel and really think you give great practical information, as well as interesting topics. Thanks for your service, thanks for posting and Merry Christmas to you and yours. I really need to brush up on my knots.
I enjoy your content and your delivery methods are OUTSTANDING! I just made the ladder pack out of bamboo as I live most of the time in Costa Rica. I did not do the square notches due to my concern about weakening the bamboo. Perhaps I should be using thicker bamboo. This is my first attempt at this pack so I may untie it and carve out square notches. I tested the process and it is easy enough to do but with one inch stock I open the core of the bamboo. Perhaps you can do a segment on the use of bamboo? Thanks for your service and your channel. Merry Christmas!!
I was just thinking about this exact thing earlier today. Thanks for confirming for a writer that it's possible. Keep up the good work, you're an invaluable resource to us starting out, or who are like me and learning for other things.
I am gonna make one of these this year and hopefully get to use it. Thanks for the "outstanding" content Corporal and for your service your country! 🇺🇸
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you for your service from one Veteran to another. Thank you for the knowledge that you share. I always look forward to your videos. Have a prosperous and Happy New Year and be safe out there my friend. God Bless you and your family.
Merry Christmas CPL, I'm a new subscriber to the channel. All your vids are really well put together. Thank you. Your Vids on making water safe to drink are particularly useful and accurate (I'm a water purification expert in the Commercial Water Industry). I'm also a volunteer RAFAC Officer. Part of my role is teaching cadets (12-18 years olds) outdoor skills. Your vids have give me loads of new ideas in how to teach certain things. Keep up the good work, and thanks again. Al.
I sorta look at the roycroft frame as a lighter rucksack frame for lighter loads just like you pretty much said. Sorta reminiscent of one of those Swiss ruck sacks. Maybe a little more agile than the full ladder frame. The ladder frame is more like a flat bed truck. It will carry more weight more comfortably but a little more cumbersome and less agile.
Saved this one for a personal xmas gift with the morning coffee before the heathen's rise!Merry Christmas and thanks for the effort and time put into your content!
The great thing about the Ladder style frame is that it can hold more weight than the Roycroft frame.But if you want you can use Toggles on the Ladder Frame if you want but it is not needed.
Another great video, really appreciate all the work that goes into it. Happy Christmas to you and all your family from Hornsea, East Yorkshire in the UK. 🎄
Another great video, just re-watched. As things in bushcraft/survival evolve, has this pack frame evolved for the intermediate and advanced class? If I practice from your video, will I be on the right track prepping for the intermediate class? Thanks, Dan
What is a good rule of thumb to decide the distance between the horizontal logs? Also, can you leave the bottom horizontal part a little wider to hang a sleeping bag on without defeating the purpose of distributing the weight?
With a couple of more notches for stability and pipe insulation for padding I can see this as interchangeable with a 5 gallon bucket for hauling rocks, mud, etc. when making a more permanent shelter. But, I suppose you could also wrap mule tape around to use as padding. The excess tape allows to hang a ready made bear bag. This is a damn-good frame for the common man. Thanks! Semper Fi, brother.

You are an excellent teacher, thank you.
EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS!
YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!
THANK YOU CORPORAL KELLY!
In the early 70's in the boy scouts we made latter frame packs out of 3/4 Marin's plywood that were self standing, another great video thanks!
Corporal, you are such a good teacher. You've taught many things. Thank you.
That's the best improvised frame I've seen awesome video.
This type of info is why I watch your channel. Practical info. Well instructed. Easy to understand. And very applicable to situation's in real world situations. Very good. Merry Christmas.
I'll be making this for my Rover Ranger scouting award, so excited!
Nicely done and extremely well explained.
Have made the ladder style before but, never thought of notches .......great job!
thanks for the video. it was most helpful to build a pack frame today
Thanks Merry Christmas
really enjoyed the video. looks like it would be more comfortable than the triangle. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
this is awesome I had forgotten ALL of this from my boyhood ( which was many decades ago)
An excellent bit of work. 👏
Thanks, I believe this will help me also in building a frame of sorts to put on my ocean kayak, so I can turn it into a fishing kayak. I appreciate your videos very much!!!

THANK YOU - Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank ya for the excellent video, your version is the one I’m using.
thats an awesome frame! i could also see the potential to add a small rack to the bottom of it not only to aid in carrying heavier loads but also giving the ability to tie this frame off to a tree and using it for a hunting chair or a little higher being a sort of toiletry stand for shaving/grooming purposes, im sure theres alot more but thats what popped up in my mind at the moment.

I have learned a lot from this mastermind!!!
That's pretty cool, 3x sections of branch cut to about a Cubit in length and 2x sections about a Yard in length basically then, that's neat.
I was just thinking about this exact thing earlier today. Thanks for confirming for a writer that it's possible. Keep up the good work, you're an invaluable resource to us starting out, or who are like me and learning for other things.
Happy Holidays, thanks for the video. I just watched the Roycroft pack frame a couple of days ago. Could you do a load out video with these frames?
Excellent instruction and video. Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas.
I am gonna make one of these this year and hopefully get to use it.
Thanks for the "outstanding" content Corporal and for your service your country! 🇺🇸

Thx corporal another useful video. 😉👍👊🇭🇺
Man this is perfect- I have an old large rucksack with no frame. I was just thinking that you probably had a video about making a frame. 👍
That was well worth watching. Thanks
@12:25 mark
What are you doing?
How did you tie the knots?
What is the “bag/sack”?
What is in the “bag/sack”?
Thanks for the video. Odd to see no snow lol. almost a meter of snow up hear . I like the lashing you did. im going back to find the rope video now!
Sweet. Very nice. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Awesome video my friend. I am going to give this a try

Great weekend project with my kids! Thanks Corporal and Merry Christmas !
The great thing about the Ladder style frame is that it can hold more weight than the Roycroft frame.But if you want you can use Toggles on the Ladder Frame if you want but it is not needed.
Good video, Merry Christmas!
That is awesome. Definitely gonna be trying this the next few days.
That was something I didn't know. Thank you, Merry Christmas
An LK35 pack would fit nicely on that frame!
It's awesome.
But seems like More work than the triangle pack...
Merry Christmas My Brother Semper Fi
Merry Christmas! Great channel, I always enjoy your videos
That was a great video! Well done with the tutorial, and thanks for sharing it! :)
Merry Christmas!
This was outstanding. Any special reason the three rungs arent evenly spaced?
Good looking frame corporal
👍👍 outstanding!
Awesome frame. Will try out n haul some wood
Outstanding AF
Another great video thank you
I remember wen I did this with scouts ps keep up the good work and merry Christmas
Another great video, really appreciate all the work that goes into it. Happy Christmas to you and all your family from Hornsea, East Yorkshire in the UK. 🎄
Great video have a merry Christmas to you and family
Good info. Merry Christmas
Another great video, just re-watched. As things in bushcraft/survival evolve, has this pack frame evolved for the intermediate and advanced class? If I practice from your video, will I be on the right track prepping for the intermediate class?

Great video Shawn.
Thank you Sir
Love that ladder style pack frame - big time!
I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a healthy and successful 2018...
I liked this frame. But I like Roy croft also for my 16x16 haversack.
What is a good rule of thumb to decide the distance between the horizontal logs? Also, can you leave the bottom horizontal part a little wider to hang a sleeping bag on without defeating the purpose of distributing the weight?
you sir deserve a lot more subscribers

I needed that.
