Great review. I was going towards the Karrimor SF Sabre 30. Watching your review I am in 2 minds.
Thanks for sharing that pack. Good produces, reviews and vids are a great treasure. Thanks again. Anne
Luanne Callaham Thanks Luanne, much appreciated. a.t.b. vee
and there she goes into the yonder - nice pack, could believe you had a sleeping bag in there too.
good to see you again vee, enjoy the outdoors when life permits
take care :)
funkyprepper Thanks Funky, yeah its a tardis! can't wait to get out and try it out on a sneaky overnighter! take care too, vee
Another great video Vee. Thanks for sharing your set up.
Welshrugbyfan101 Thank you of watching it! a.t.b. vee
Hi Vee, great review. I need a 'go bag' at the moment and was looking at a Pro Force 44 - but this looks ideal too. Keep up the good work - your videos are brilliant
Great to see another vid;) karrimor was always my personal carry. Extremely well made and comfortable.
MMA CustomKnives Thanks, couldnt agree more, karrimor are a good bit of kit, but I hear the sort of civi bit of karrimor has been bought out by sports direct so maybe some products might lose some quality. the SF/military kit though is in a separate company I think. a.t.b. vee
Great pack. Have it in camo version. Thanks for extra accessories view. Gives me some ideas
Nice Video Vee. Lovely Pack to get too, I love the multiple uses of this pack & also your idea to get the accompanied matching predator 45. I look forward to seeing your future videos on these packs & how they are utilised.
God Bless

Good review and nice to see your videos again . Always to the point and enjoyable . Get some fishing done please !
arthur thank you Arthur. Haha, I will try and get some fishing in, ( would love to) just that time has a habit of passing too quickly to get everything I want to do, done! a.t.b. vee
Always amazes me the capacity of some of these bags :)
This one looks ideal for the uses you describe.
Cheers......Les.
fepowson Yes Les, have to say I was pretty gobsmacked too when I shoved th sleeping bag in ! a.t.b. vee
Very nicely organized kit! I have a weakness for great rucks, and did not need to see this video.
great review , Karrimor's are bomb proof , ride well, I've no complaints .. thanks for sharing
That's a great looking pack! I always enjoy your videos! Hope you enjoy it!
Bryan Galante Thanks Bryan, well it will be tested fully this season for sure. a.t.b. vee
Nice video vee, I liked the pack. Your review of it was very informative. Thank you
tea grub camperman Glad you enjoyed the vid. a.t.b. vee
Great review on the pack and nice overnight set up! Looks like a very well made and durable pack, and packed with everything to make for a comfortable overnighter. Thanks for sharing!
Atb,
Jenn :)
FullCircleOutdoors414 Thanks, I look forward to testing the pack out for overnighters/hunting later on in the year when its a bit warmer out at night. a.t.b. vee
Looks like a perfect size middle of the road pack at 30 liters with molly. Thanks for sharing. atb John.
Turtle Bushcraft Thanks John, yes I am hoping this ticks all the boxes for me as a versatile day/overnight pack. a.t.b. vee
Hi again !
I found this channel when i searched for Reviews on the Karrimor Saber 45, because i also use the Saber 45 and the Karrimor Predator 30, Quite good Rucksacks for any Outdoor Activities... I was very surprised when i found out,,,this is a channel of a nice British Bushcraft Lady..thanks for the Review ATB Harry (from Austria)
Please excuse any mistakes in englsih Grammar, thanks !!!
Good stuff Vee. I was given a Vanquest pack...as good as it is...it just wasnt big enough. Now I have a Pentagon...slightly bigger and so much better. Rob.
I love this size pack myself. Yours is perfect for what your using it as. A thirty to thirty-five liter pack is ideal for overnighters or day rambles. You don't end up carrying a lot useless items you won't need. I like the military green even coming from an ex climbers background where color, bright color, can help find you if need arrizes. The pack seems endlessly versitile. Good choice.
rainbowhiker Thanks, so fat the pack is serving me well but have not done any more than hiking with it and bushcraft stuff. Will be getting into overnighters soon though. If i go the the hills in the past with a dark backpack I have a high visibility item in the pack which serves as a marker too for search and rescue if ever I were to need it. a.t.b. vee
Nice Pack, had one for 4months now, use it all the time, makes a great day pack, and I have fitted in all I need for an overnighter, but not winter, cant wait to use it in warmer weather for an overnighter. Atb Mike.
Hi Mike, sounds you and I have the same idea about this pack. Like you I can't wait to use it for milder overnighters. a.t.b. vee
Hi Vee
Cheers for the reply.
Have a nice day.
John.
Nice Review Vee.Rhats really a great looking pack. Seems like it will grow with all your needs. Plenty of molle
Shane Coffey Thanks Shane, yes thats my aim to do some mods by adding some pouches and it should be good for many different scenarios. a.t.b vee
Have been using the Karrimor SF Predator 30 litre daypack for a few weeks now. Very pleased with it. I will be using it for minimum kit overnighters, hunting and as a daypack and for bushrafty stuff. It is not quite covered in pouches yet but that will happen for sure over the coming months!
hi ~ how are you? I like your new bag so much^^
also I want to let you know I have my own solo camp two times already...
back to nature getting more sensitive , so happy 2015 I have a good try and good start ^^
b. Rgds.
Ann
Hi Ann, sorry for late reply can't get hang of google plus notifications! Great to hear you have had a few solo camp outs, it is a totally different experience than when with others. Wishing you good adventures. Vee
Nice! I went with the Rush 24 for day and Rush 72 for overnights, but I wish I'd have gone with something which has a fixed (not clam shell like the Rush) main compartment as it enables you to stuff things in there around flexible stuff like sleeping bags and clothes. I've seen it done and it's incredible how much stuff you can get into a fixed compartment when you stuff things in.
Average Joe Survival Hi there, you know I had many days of debating whether to go for the clam shell design of the 24 or 72 5:11 gear as love my rush 12, however for the very reasons you mentioned I opted for a top loader. I decided that with the molle I could still have 3 or four pouches on the outside which could hold my smaller kit, water filters etc , which would be readily available. thanks for watching a.t.b. vee
Nice review and pack!
Hi Vee, I have this bag too in black. Itsa a great sack for when the 5.11Rush 12 bag just is nt big enough and I have just done a coast to coast walk with mine over 8 days. I can defintely recommend the TMC CP30 hydration pouch for low profile side-pouches. They are just the right width and height for the SF Predator 30L and dont have to be used for water bladders..
Hey nice to see you, it's been awhile, hope all is well .
Great looking pack, nice review as well .
Take care enjoy and be safe.
lin juan Thanks Lin, well I have done a few vids over the past few months and there will be more camping ones in the future. a.t.b. vee
Looks like a good sensibly sized pack Vee. I am looking forward to watching your overnight/rabbit hunt video. That is something I have done in the past but before youtube was around..
Like how you tidied up the tab ends with gaffa tape.
Sandy
Thanks Sandy, rabbit hunt/overnighters will not be for a while yet as field pretty saturated and not much rabbit activity. Yes the dangly bits on bag would have driven me nuts, good old gaffa tape eh.. but may actually replace with thin inner tube band. a.t.b. vee
Looks just the same as my Canadian Military backpack, just not digital camo. Nice kit you have and thanks for sharing.......#Canada
Stephen Bradley Thanks Stephen, this karrimor pack and others in the karrimor range are used a lot by the British armed forces, so it is as tough as nails and well tested. a.t.b. vee
Good review. I was thinking of uploading one but was too lazy lol. I got my ruck sack without seeing any review coz there was none at that time, anyway i did really good buying one and no regrets after all. I use mine mostly for fishing, hiking and also as a travel bag. It is great multipurpose ruck sack. One practice suggestion, the side pocked is really practical for a water bottle and you can strap it with the buckle strap. It never dropped out and sits very tight. Saving you buying a bottle pocket :)
mjunhyk thanks and I like that tip about the water bottle and buckle strap, will give that a go. a.t.b. vee
Good stuff!! All thought out and the necessities. 👍nice... Trangia stove! Rich
Thanks Rich, really like the pack and took it out on a 5 hour walk today, no probe. haha well spotted, my blooper `i meant to say trangia burner ( with a little titanium pot) but said 'trangia stove', which would have been way bigger than what you saw in the vid. a.t.b. vee
Thanks for the detailed review ! May I ask what is the exacte reference of you bottle holder ?
Nice review, great backpack !
Poolisfilm Thank a.t.b. vee
Cheers vee, got my eye on the predator range too, come to think of it ive got my eye on loads of kit lol, hope it works out for you. Atb.
Thanks, my kit wish list is pretty huge too! haha a.t.b. vee
Hello, Vee & Sky; That's going 2 serve U well 4 U'r outings. Thanks 4 sharing ATB Terry
Thanks Terry, its doing the business for sure. a.t.b. vee
Great pack. Good review
czechmate9591 thanks! a.t.b. vee
I'm beginning to wonder whether the SF 30 might have been a better choice for me instead of the SF 45 which I bought 2 years ago. I have never used the pack anywhere near the 45l capacity.
nice review thanks for shareing..
Nice, I'd be interestedto know what the comfort is like after 6 hours walking with all thast stuff you have in there.
On one of the sides you can attach your .22lr rifle if you want to. ;) And one question how big is your main Karrimor dry sack? Thanks for sharing
Nice pack, might have to pair one up with my Ruger 10/22.
BushRat Yeah go for it! They are good partners I reckon. a.t.b. vee
Love the outdoors, how can people not :) and its an absolute delight to see you doing what you do, I really do wish more women would follow your lead, Shooting, prepping game, knife skills, gear choice etc. etc. hats off to you :) keep the videos coming from a new sub, ATB Dave
Dave Noodles Thanks Dave, your comments are much appreciated by me. thank you for the sub too. more vids en route this year for sure. a.t.b.vee
Great video Vee.... look forward to more videos.... I was brought up eating home made rabbit pate and rabbit stews which my granddad killed/skinned etc didn't do me any harm :)...... Lonely Udder :)
Enjoyed the video :) Great review :)
God Bless You , Take Care ... Marko :)
MarkoOutdoors Thanks Mark, a.t.b. vee
I've only just ordered the karrimor sf sabre 45 in coyote so a timely review, am gonna get the 80-130 version too so in that way I have all possible expeditions covered. Great review Vee and I know a doctor on Harley street who can help with your molle addiction ;) ~Peace~
Coyote was a colour I was sorely tempted by. wow an 80-130 litre version.. heck that will be heavy when full!! Thanks for the recommendation re the shrink in Harley Street... but I don't want to be cured!!! haha! a.t.b. vee
Wow that is quite the pack. My day pack is to small I really need to upgrade it soon. There are just so many packs out there its hard to decide what to get. I also do small game hunting and deer hunting so I will be looking for something I can use as a multi purpose pack.
keep up the good work.
Adam Sue Thanks will do! a.t.b vee
I have the sabre 45 and have added two army surplus Bergen side pouches. I wish there were more molle on it but hey ho. I find my back gets quite hot while carrying it. I'm used to external frames though, lots of air flow 😉
its a great pack and i know about the lack of molle but i have got used to that now. super comfy and have yet to find a pack which doesnt make me hot when carrying it! a.t.b. vee
Nice pack I opted for the Snugpak Endurance, but they are pretty similar to the Karrimor. Hope you managed to bag a bunng ATB
Snugpak endurance, yes I checked that out too, nice one. a.t.b. vee
Very nice Vee! Thanks for showing. Ive had the Sabre 30 for a few months and love it, so I can see why you'd be very happy with the Predator version! The 45 is next on my list, but whereas I was set on the Sabre, now I am not so certain looking at your Predator! What make and model was the sleeping bag if you dont mind me asking? that packed down small! Cheers and all the best!
jediknightofthewoods Hi there! I am going to be getting the karrimor 45 predator I think though I believe the hop belt might be slightly less padded than the sabre but will have to check it out. Oh lord decisions eh! I have the north face blue kazoo, got it in the sales a few years back. Its down, so does pack small but I also recently invested ( £22!) in a sea to summit medium 'event' compression sack. which is amazing, it has a one way air valve so you can literally squeeze anything down to tiny, wish I had bought it years ago now. hope this helps. a.t.b vee
As always another great video Vee. I too love to combine hunting / fly fishing with camping. It gives me the complete outdoor experience which I find truly relaxing. I'm curious as to what rifle you're using to hunt rabbits with? Thanks for sharing a terrific video!!
Peter Stanhope Thanks Peter, yes, Fishing, hunting, walking and camping, there is nothing more to a perfect and relaxing life than that! I use a ruger .22 semi automatic with a moderator as my main rabbit gun but I have also been using a .17hmr ( in vid) which is a very neat lightweight rifle which has more punch but bullets ( polymer tipped) aren't subsonic so the noise can scare off the rabbits a bit. a.t.b. vee
That .17 hmr is quite the rifle along with the ballistic tip cartridge especially if you want to reach out. I've read excellent reports about it. Thanks for the feedback Vee. Look forward to your next video and give sky a scratch and treat from me. Many cheers!!!
Good video. Your kit is well thought out and easy to get at. Just a couple of questions. Do you have a first aid kit handy? Also, do you use a sleeping pad or some means of insulating yourself from the cold ground?
That's an impressive amount of stuff for a smallish pack,
***** HI Barry, yes I was quite amazed I could get my sleeping bag in the pack with other stuff which makes it ideal as a minimal kit overnighting backpack. a.t.b. vee
Molle = modular system. The webbing strips on your ruck are "Pals". Pals = pouch attachment ladder system. Sorry when it comes to rucks and webbing I have OCD...
Hi, I always like to learn and no problem correcting me and will try to remember this fact when mentioning the molle and the pals in any future videos. a.t.b. Vee
Nice 1 Vee, that's a fare bit of kit for a small 30ltr sack, surprised, but iff it carries the kit you need it's big enough, good to see you back, is that rifle a 22lr or air ? an outdoorsy woman with a weapon, hell yes, atb, Paul.
Do you think a 30 litre would also fit a compact tent and camping matt in as well as the sleeping bag? I'm thinking maybe a 45 might be best for me. Cheers.
evoermine Hi, I think that the 45 litre is probably a better option for you needs. The 30 litre will work I think for 3 season camping with a lightweight tarp and bivi bag and sleeping bag. I will be getting the 45 over the next weeks for more extensive camping out, so hope to review it sometime in April Have fun out there! a.t.b. vee
Did you end up buying the Predator 45? Do the PLCE side pouches work on the 45? Thanks Vee! Great video.
Nope, I have the sabre 45 as the hip belt is way better and more supportive. In my opinion the predatory 45 is not very well designed for a heavy load pack. If you check out my instagram feed, you will see the predator 30 in action on a recent Austrian trip, a great day pack and summer overnighter pack . thanks atb vee
Interesting vid again Vee but I'm wondering if you'd considered the 5.11 Rush 24 knowing of your love of the Rush 12? Either way keep posting and keep enjoying being outdoors 😃
sean p Hi Sean, thanks, I went for the top loader instead of the 24 rush as I decided that I would get more in a top loader and with molle pouches attached I could get the modular feel which I like. also the rush 24 does not have a waist belt. Having done an 8 mile walk with my new pack and its waist belt I can def say the belt does help take th weight of the shoulders. a.t.b. vee
I have a soft spot for the 5.11 range, my Rush 72 being my current favourite...lots of room and plenty of molle 😃
Hello,
Very good Vidéo.
(sorry i'm French :) )
Do you use more predator 30 or SF 45 ? Comfort is identical ? The predator 30 it's ok for one or two night ? the back plate is really worth it (on prédator) ? why 30 and 45? why the bottle holder on predator 30 (latteral pouch is'nt ok for this) ?
Thanks !
+Wildsoul Vee really, thank you.
Last question (sorry) ... Pockets PLCE (sabre 45) is compatible to Prédator 30 thanks
Hi Vee, please could you do a review on your rifle, thank you, love your vids!
I am not sure if there is a huge amount to say about my rifle , or enough for a video anyway. but will see if i can incorporate it into another vid . thanks and glad you enjoy my vids ! a.t.b. vee
Good video. A nice pack for a nice lady. Cheers Vee!
Stanley Sprow Thanks Stanley! a.t.b vee
I shoot near houses so always want to be quiet , No complaints yet but we live in strange days when people eat meat yet object to it being humanely obtained . Ever tempted by a Hushpower shotgun ? Deadly to 30 yards and just point n press . No zeroing . The .410 Baikal is what I shoot and it does not seem to clear the field of rabbits after a shot . Useful gun Vee .
Hey Wildsoul62 , Very nice videos you have got. You just made yourself a new subscriber :) . I got here while researching on the karrimore backpack you are rewieving + your recent trip with funkyprepper. I own the karrimor 60-100 ltr backpack and I just love it . In fact so much I´m thinking of buying the 30ltr aswell mainly as an outdoor/bushcraft daypack . Im hoping you can help me with one question. Because it seems I cannot find the answer anywhere :( That waistbelt on it . Is it possible to take it off or hide it away ? Really hope you can help me. And my apologies for the bad grammer and possible spelling errors .
Cheers from Denmark.
+peanutpumpgun Hi there thanks for subscribing and appreciated. re the karrimor sf 30 ltr. waist belt. It cannot be taken off as sewn to the mainpack and there is no obvious way to pack it away in a pocket or sleeve on the pack. However, it is a lightweight waist belt and I have used mine a hell of a lot and have never found the waist belt anything other than useful. If the bag has little in it I let the waist belt just hang if I don't want to use it but most of the time `i do use it so not a problem. Hope this helps. a.t.b. vee
+Wildsoul62 Hey again. You have been very helpfull and thank you for the answer :)
Hi. Hope youre well. Are you based in Somerset? If you ever fancy a bimble on the Quantocks feel free to join me, I wouldnt mind linking up with a like minded person to natter away with. Take care, all the best, John.
john t Thanks John, I am about 45- 60mins for Quantocks, so not quite not door to you but thats a kind offer and sure i will give you a shout if I am heading your way as yes it is always nice to have a walk and a natter! a.t.b. vee
Hi, please forgive my stupidity, Is that a air rifle or a firearm? Can you own a rifle/firearm in the UK.? I heard awhile back that they proposed a crack down on knives in the UK. too. I like a crossbow myself. They don't give away your position. I would like to buy one of the new air rifles they are building over there. They are some of the best in the world and less legal trouble here but, too expensive.
+Slim Pickens Hi there, the rifle in the picture is a semi auto ruger .22 rimfire rifle. You can own a rifle in the UK but the license is not that easy to obtain. You have to show good reason to have a rifle ( vermin control) and have specific land to shoot on. You can buy an air rifle without a licence up to a certain power 12ft.lb anything more powerful and you have to obtain a full firearms licence. The UK laws are very strict and crossbows are as far as I know illegal for hunting purposes over here. Hope this helps. a.t.b. vee
Very informative, thank you.
