Love to see people happy with their kit
Love it 😃
Nice review mate, i have the L, it fits everything i need and more for a couole of days in the woods. Got 2 sidepouches in size small so i can get things i use more faster...snacks, water, poncho etc, get the bigger ones if u are into wintercamping. Anyway, a nice bag that i can recomend. For the guys that is strugling to choose between M and L, i would go for the L. On the L you can remove the hipbelt completely and use the straps to compress it to a daypack, smart.
I have this pack in black. I absolutely love it. Two medium size pouches on either side and a large on the back. It comfortably fits everything I need. Thanks for the video. Cheers!
It’s great isn’t it! I’ll most likely add the extra pouch on the back too. Do you have the aluminium frame?
No I don’t have the frame but I have also never really thought I needed it. Like you were saying I keep my load out under 13kg. The longest hike I have done with that load is 10 km and I had no trouble. You said you were upgrading some of your kit can I recommend the amok draumr hammock. I just got one and it is amazing. A little on the pricey side but so comfortable. Keep making great videos I will keep watching. Cheers!
@@jonhughes4550 what side pouches did you use? 4L savotta pouches?
@@geoffrey6000 I have two of the 4L vertical pouches and two of the 6L vertical pouches. I mix and match as needed. In the winter when you need to bring more gear the two large 6L sure do come in handy.
@@jonhughes4550 sweet. gonna get me one of these I think
Hey Dazzy. You didnt ask for the story but yall getting it. I bought my 100L fjellreven with a discount too, reason being the police told me to put my axe in the bag when walking through town. And the 100L was the only bag that could fit my carpenter axe. Like come on, cant a guy walk around town with a axe nowadays. Anyway great video as always. Getting good. Much love, best wishes. Holmen.
Let the man walk around with his axe! 😂 Sounds like you have a beast of a pack there. I bet it will come in handy for winter too the extra size
You have a reason to have the axe so they can't tell you what to do. All I do is wrap it in scrim net.
It is obvious to anyone that you are hiking with a massive pack, no mad axe murderer walks about with a bergan full of camping gear do they? Haha
@@moorshound3243 ofc your right. Our laws in Norway are pretty preppy. We are allowed to carry axe to work/activety. But not from work to home. Its a puzzeling one. But long story short. I carry it inside my pack, i am happy, Karen is happy and the coppers are happy ;)
*an axe
Loved the video, and your content in general, man. Fun vibes all the time. Keep up the good work!💪🏻🔥🦬
Solid video mate 🫡👍
Great vid! I've been eyeing those for a good while
Glad you enjoyed it. They’re expensive but I convinced myself by thinking I’m going to get a lifetime worth of use out of it
Canny bag like 👍 I got a tasmanian tiger raid pack lll a few years back and I was buzzing just like yourself with that one , I love a new rucksack day
That Tasmanian tiger pack looks quality too! Aye love it! Packs for life
Bloody jealous ! Best pack on the planet. Enjoy it
Bold statement but I have to agree
Got 55L and absolutely love IT!! 😎 “Savotta!” A long with my other love Gransfors Bruk camp axe!
Well, I understand your happiness, I've got an M too, and I think it's the best backpack I've got..I've got a compulsive issue 'bout collect backpacks, and I have many models and brand..but this is simply the best. Have fun in the wood, cheers!
Great review, great energy! I was close to buying this bag in M, however I went with a Granite Gear Chief Patrol Pack. I think however this would be a great bag for my partner. Thanks Dazzy
Very nice dazzy good video by the way good effort mate
Appreciate it man, Atb
I have the small Jaakari and that's fantastic too. A perfect day sack.
I want the small too 😂
@@DazzyOutdoors It's good but make sure you get the back stiffener/sit mat with it or make one (I made one from a sheet of Kydex I had. It's a bit crap and floppy without. I've no idea why they don't sell their packs with all the bits included, it's a bit infuriating 🤨😁
@@marccallaghan7997 it’s the same with the medium. I should’ve bought the frame also
Love the color
Me too!
Nice bag I have mine in camo which is a lot darker that it appears in pictures. I hope you're as happy with how yours performs as I am with mine. Be safe and be lucky.
Excellent bag last for ever✌
That’s how I convinced myself to buy it haha
They are good bags , finnish made and Quality stuff , Be Well my Friend , Strength , Honour and Respect .
Agreed! A true bag for life. All the best
Good review, have a mate who loves his, he's got the bigger one. Personally I love my Dutch army Stingray and Saracen, but my absolute favourite is my French army F2, you can pack a house in the bloody thing!
Thanks! Those Dutch army rucksacks look great! And that French army F2 sounds like the one for winter time, for the little extras we bring. This winter is going to be a good test for the savotta
Second the French F2 I used it in service along with a Mystery ranch 6300 pack, but Savotta are excellent quality I also had the jääkäri large but moved it on as the bottom entry when the pack was loaded was a pain to use so i upscaled to the Jääkäri xl which has a much better lower entry pocket but you just can't go wrong with Savotta, buy once cry once.
Bellissimo zaino 🎒
Interesting viewing, mine arrives tomorrow same as yours except with the extra internal frame. Still unsure if I should have gone for the Large but cost was a factor. Hopefully some pouches will cover any extra space needed.
Hope you get on with it mate. I think you done right with the internal frame. Took me a few trips out to really find a setup I’m happy with
I've been looking for new bag for some time this one seems like a really good option.
For airflow on the back at least for it doesn't seem to make any difference sweating with every option
I wish you could get into the top pouch from the outside, it drives me nuts. Nice addition with the side pouches
Haha now you’ve mentioned it’s driving me insane 😂
Best pack ever, I love mine. The pouches are expensive but they are really worth it.
I agree!
Hi i just went with it on an overnight on a very heavy trip with around 22kg in the pack, my shoulders even with upgraded shoulderpads were destroyed
Amazing review. i like how you explain with clearness and desvolture. you use Savotta Rain Cover? i have Savotta aluminium frame for adds rigidity and carrying comfort to the Jääkäri M backpack when transporting very heavy loads. thans form Rio de Janeiro, Emerson.
Ive yet to use any rain cover with it yet. Ill think ill have to get the aluminium frame, sounds good!
@@DazzyOutdoors This is a great idea. Congratulations for the channel.
Got the same deal you did but the lack aluminium frame was a pisser. Can't seem to get one in UK .
Looks real heavy duty I got sabre 45 n pouches but wish had gone wi savotta cos did look at them too but nice when feels like sturdy and not flimsy,I just got gransfors axe the 20 inch 900g trekking axe n it's just sexy,wanted classic range just for nicer sheath but tip the sandy cheap looking sheath on hults bruk trekking axes I beeswaxed it few times n now dark oiled leather looks good
My mate has the sabre 45, it’s a great pack too. But yeah I think the savotta is as sturdy as they come. Im no axe expert but straight away I can tell there’s something spect about the gransfors axes
hey. is it impossible to use the vertical zipper of the bag with the side pouches? they dont really mention that anywhere...
What size pouches did you buy I have the camo backpack and want to upgrade to get the pouches
Better than Tasmanian Tiger & Wisport ? Prices quite high, has equal quality ?
Totally different pack. But same theory. I have a 45 Centurio Karrimor. In coyote. Igaf about matching stuff colour wise. I slap plce side pouches on they zip on just upside down bigger than Karimor pouched.
I put a GSR has mask case on the back MTP.
Looks meh. Practicality good. Easy for cookset brew acess or rain gear etc.
Main point. With the GSR pouch on the pack, regardless of gear weight ( had 24kg total) the pack sits on its base and won't fall over. In winter that's priceless nothing worse than mud and wet crud on back of pack and straps. If you did this on this pack and were really concerned by colour, cheap enough to get a chinese green rain cover for a fiver on ebay and cut it down add a strap or however you want it to cover the mtp
Emmm fancy.
Look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.
I'd still need an extra 30 liters in a bag.
Remember with the straps that most military bergans are made to be used with webbing & body armour so they may not be as big or thick as civvy bags?
There’s a large or extra large size just for you mate haha. Yeah that’s probably the case here, good point
@@DazzyOutdoors I just bought the Lowe alpine sting Dutch bergan. Was only £60
Very similar to your pack, only it's camo it's used & much bigger.
In winter I take loads more gear with me, like the saying goes travel light freeze at night.
I'm still just rocking a wool blanket but using a fleece sleeping bag liner as well, this means I can curl up next to the fire with a fire retardant wool layer over me = a happy camper.
Not sure where you’re from, but I was able to order just the aluminum frame from varusteleka at a reasonable price and $12 shipping from Finland to the USA.
That’s not too bad, I’ll have another look maybe I got it wrong. Do you feel the difference with the aluminium frame?
@@DazzyOutdoors Mine is still in transit so I haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet. Your video reminded me that I’d been meaning to pick it up, and the price was reasonable enough when I checked that I went for it.
@@DazzyOutdoors Just received the frame. I think it’s worth it. The bag sags a lot less and doesn’t bunch up as much at the bottom with the aluminum frame. I think it’s more comfortable. I also added two 6L vertical side pockets which hold my Lightfighter 1 tent and some additional stuff nicely. Basically turns a 30L pack into a 40L+ pack and is quite comfortable with the addition of two Hazard 4 shoulder pads.
A 140 quid for the aluminum frame? Today I bought the frame from Laminia for $24 and lowest shipping charge to the USA was $24. Is the price because of Brexit?
I believe it’s PVC lined
If you plan on jumping the canal, I could order the frame no problem.
Just ordered one last night. To my Polish friend address. Otherwise I’d have got my jumping shoes on
@@DazzyOutdoors Niiice!
If you know any people in Ireland get the frame sent to them and they can send it on to you for a few quid dazz.
I don't, but I think a friend is getting the large version so I can get it through his order. There is ways around it, just got to get creative haha
Looks... HEAWY DUTY!
i might have to ask santa for the m so i got all 4 sizes
A bit too expensive for me dazz maybe if I win the lottery?good watch mate.
Just sell all your other gear like me 😅
Lowe alpine army pack is about £70
Shoulder straps are thin because this is designed for hunting trips in Russia. Thick padding would interfere with shooting.
Any gear dazzy wazzy you want to sell im ere lol 😜
Haha the osprey kestrel is up for sale although I may regret it 😬
Nice ganders at your pack mate . Dont know why I watched really 😂. I've already got one . Love it . Quality 👍🏕
Thanks mate! I don’t blame you I do the same haha
@@DazzyOutdoors 🤪. Nice one . Still enjoyed though mate 👍. Take it easy .
