Thank you for including the whole community in this journey. I have backed over 40 products on Kickstarter for several years, and this is the first one that shows true transparency. I wish more companies followed your model.
Really excited to hear you will take us along for the rest of the journey - I don’t think I would ever do this myself, but I am fascinated by others who are brave enough to do it! I hope you continue to keep us involved / informed as you setup your permanent supply chain / website / etc. post-KS deliveries. So cool!
Thanks Lance, and yup! That's our goal! It's so much fun bringing everyone along for the journey and we plan to make this radical transparency a staple of the Fyro brand moving forward :)
I am so looking forward to having you over here to film the production of the T22 Aaron! It's really is going to be the most awesome video on UA-cam about how a backpack is made. Seriously fired up!
Nice, Aaron. You said you've partnered with experience like fulfillment places etc. Did the folks in Vietnam help with that, did you ask other bag companies who those people were? I'd be interested because I'd have no clue how to find that type of business, much less knowing if they're actually great at what they do. Also, first time through a process, no worries, stuff happens. We've all had the experience of buying something and it's delayed or cancelled with zero communication about it and that's the worst. You're obviously at the other end of that spectrum and it's appreciated.
Thanks so much! And yes, our partners in Vietnam helped and I also hired an experienced consultant (and good friend) to help me find the best shipping options. I too would have no idea, so I've always learned the best thing to do is work with people who DO know
Very excited! Looking forward to a video of the backpack with all the improvements from the Kickstarter comments. I totally dig the magnet idea for the hatch zipper :)
Glad you made your dream of making your bag come to life. It isn't a design for me, but I will always appreciate passion and dedication to turning an idea into something other people can enjoy! Great job!!!
I've been watching you guys for awhile and i cant express how excited I am to be apart of this journey with yall! By far the transparency you provide is unmatched by any other brand and that will always be something I value! Keep up the good work and im so glad to see the Fyro dream comming true! 💪
It's a cool summary and process. Thanks for outlining for those of us who've never been involved in manufacturing and fulfillment operations to this degree. I think understanding so well what went into the design, staging and production will enable at least me to appreciate it more once I ultimately get the pack in hand.
So I get all of the steps you listed here, with the exception of the fulfillment process centers. Like if I order a product that just launched from a company like Patagonia or The North Face, would said product be shipped from the factory in bulk to that company’s regional retailers? In the states for example Huckberry would get X amount and REI would get an X amount and how ever many others? Where I would assume a company like Evergoods the product would ship in bulk to them for US distribution and suburban for Asian distribution, Rushfaster for Australian distribution, and I cant remember the stockists for there European markets is at the moment. Then for your brand Fyro I have no idea how that would work. The only thing I can imagine is like how the big brands use retailers as their distro, that you would have to work out contracts with a warehouse where you either pay them a lump sum or a percentage of each sale and they agree to store your product, and then when you got an order that is in the same region as said warehouse and the payment was processed on the Frys site it then gets sent to that warehouse and they ship it out ? Meanwhile the same thing is going on at different warehouses all over the world? Or maybe the distro company has warehouses all over so you are only working with one distro, that seems like the best scenario. I am probably not even close, but it was fun to try… lol
Is it still the plan to do a Fyro Sling bag next? Because if that’s the case, I'm very interested in backing it. And I have plenty of input (So many companies get it almost right, but not quite!)
Congratulation Aaron! I'm so happy to see Fyro succeed, and I can't wait to see what happens going forward! I'm here from your email, and you invited me to ask a question, so I'm gunna shoot my shot... I'm someone who was in the camp that really liked the bronze looking emblem over the black one... If you have any spares leftover from samples, is there any way I could order my Fyro with the bronze on it? If not, no big deal, but if so, it would be like Christmas for me... I can provide a backer number, confirmation number, pay extra, or do what I gotta do... Please and Thank you!
thanks so much mate! And I totally get where you are coming from with the bronze version, but unfortunately it's actually quite complicated to make this happen. Plus if I did it for you I'd have to offer it to everyone, which is borderline impossible unfortunately with our logistics at the moment. Again, apologies for this but we do thank you for your understanding.
I'm traveling to New York right now and have stored back up credit cards and cash in The Vault - it's such a great compartment for some extra piece of mind :)

It’s gonna be EPIC 🔥
Absolutely amazing Aaron! It's been such a valuable learning opportunity following your journey, and I look forward to seeing what comes next ❤
thanks so much! its very rewarding to not only make epic products, but to also educate about the process the entire time :)

I loved following the journey of getting the prototype made. This next part will be just as exciting too. Can’t wait
Thanks so much for following our journey!
Very excited to follow all the next steps!
We are excited to SHOW you the next steps. Big updates (and epic behind-the-scenes content) coming soon 💪
Glad you made your dream of making your bag come to life.

good try! haha. We'll eventually look into partnering up with retailers but for now our focus is on D2C via eCommerce
Very well deserved!!!

Also also also the building a back pack saga continues god damn the fyro team are cooking !!!

@@Fyro_official Aww... Worth a shot, but understood... Thanks Aaron!
I just saw the email I had to re watch the video CAUSE IM SO FUCKING EXCITED the vault shall be mine >:)
I'm traveling to New York right now and have stored back up credit cards and cash in The Vault - it's such a great compartment for some extra piece of mind :)
Hi! I didnt find this brand until after the kickstarter was ended. Will there be a preorder chance or second round of pledges? Thanks

Congratulations. My big question is, when will I get mine? When will I be charged for the bag?
man they charge it already check your bank
Thanks so much! Backers should have been charged a few days ago, and we aim for bags to arrive in time for the new year 💪
@@Fyro_official Firstly, thank you for responding. So that’s what I will pay even if I was backer? I signed up on kickstarter and backed the project.
@@TheDrewMaican happy to help! I'm not 100% sure I understand your question though. Please reach out to me via email aaron@fyro.co and I can help you out there :)
