Your review of the backpack was the most popular, not because the backpack is special, but because you made a wonderful detailed review.
you're too kind 🥲thank you!! Im so glad you enjoyed.
@@OutdoorOtaku How much kilos/oz you don't need a hip-belt? I'm not sure in cuttin' it off)
you dont need to cut the hip belt off. it has it's on removal and attaching system.
the amount of weight the bag can carry has no correlation to the hipbelt. it's more like a waist belt actually. since the bag sits high on your body and is not actually low enough to touch your hips. It's just a thin strap. has no structure to it. Also, the pack is not framed, so even if there was a proper weight bearing hip belt, it wouldnt be able to distribute the weight well without a strap.
All of that to say, the hip-belt does mostly nothing.
In my opinion the running max weight for the pack is around 18 lbs or 8.1 kg.

Your review made me buy this pack! A week in Colorado as a day pack and I can’t wait to run with it!! Don’t apologise for a long video it was really great 🎉
thank you for the kinds words! Im really glad you enjoyed. Let me know what you think of the pack when running! happy trails.
Where there’s a will there’s a way- love the mods!
Thank you!! Im glad you enjoyed :)
I just ordered this pack yesterday based upon your recommendation, so seeing this video when I woke up got me hyped. LETSGOOO!
LEEESSGOOOOOOO!!!! love the energy! let me know how you like the pack and how the mods work out for you!
Beide Videos über den C9111 sind hervorragend und veranlassten mich, den Rucksack zu kaufen. Ich verstand zwar mangels genügend Englischkenntnissen so gut wie nichts, aber das Anschauen reichte bereits. Besten Dank.
First and only mod I did to this pack was actually opening the seam where the "lip" on the bottom of the back part and fold it to the insight. The binding and seam would rub so hard against my lower back. Now without the lip its so much more comfortable.
I thnk i know what you mean , but mind if you can take a pic?
Thanks from Russia! I bought this pack a few days ago and now i'm sure it was really good decision 😊
My pleasure! Nice!! let me know how you like it once you get it in.
Great job . Love the bottom pocket
Thank you!! You love it even after seeing that stitching? haha ;)
I have this same pack and love it! I actually only got it based on your review, so thanks for that! I love these mods you have done and will be attempting to do the bottom pocket mod the exact same way as you. I do not use a water bladder either and I love my bottom pockets on my other packs, so this a great idea! Thanks again.
haha my pleasure. im glad we share the same sentiment!
Appreciate the kind words
I feel the same. I bought this pack a few days ago (mainly because of the review) and while it hasn't even arrived yet I'm not expecting to use a water bladder at all and already thought about making a similar modification in the future. Really exciting to have a reference for that :)
Im excited that you're excited!! let me know what you think of the pack when it gets in! :) @@Infozentrale
A new mod I tried was adding mitten hooks to the four corners of the bottom. I can hang a small pouch/bag for trash of stuffing gear like gloves or hat, similar to your pouch. The hooks allow the bag to be removed to get smellables away from the bag at night and be removed to clean.
I also added mitten hooks to the upper two levels of the side cording. Lighter than carabiners & secures items just as well. Idea from Wandering With Wilson.
Told you I love this bag!
omg that's a great idea. I recently got a dog and ive been thinking about bringing her on a trip. A small clip like that would be great to hang poop baggies.
Thank you and thanks Wilson!
Just got this pack and it honestly does look pretty well-made so far. Thanks for the review and gear mods! I'm going to be testing it out a good amount over the next few weeks and see how it feels. I'm not a trail runner but I do lots of hiking and trail running has interested me for a while.
I'm also thinking about some of my own gear mods after seeing what you've done. My first though was coating a few spots of the backpack in Silicone to increase durability and give it a few waterproof sections. Then possibly adding a low-friction fabric, currently looking at Lycocell, around the top of the shoulder straps to reduce any friction that might happen while in-use.
Appreciate your in-depth review and enthusiasm for your gear and activities.
I’m not overly concerned about trying to reduce the weight of any of my packs that much but I really appreciate your willingness to modify your pack to suit your needs and your attention to detail is impressive. Great video
Thank you so much! Learned a lot I brought a C9111 because of your previous video, now I will definitely do some of the Mod you did! ❤😊
my pleasure! im so glad you enjoyed ❤what do you think of the pack? let me know what mods you do!
Great video. Love the no sew tips. I have a different fast pack backpack that I might try to mod with some of the techniques you mentioned!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. What backpack? I'd love to see what mods you do!
I love the way your brain works. This was hella interesting
tell that to my hs math teather!
haha thanks!
I watched all the mods and am inspired by your creativity. I definitely like the idea of getting rid of the bungees on the side in favor of a non stretchable cord. Looks way better imo.
Looks better? Have you seen the bottom?! haha
thank you :)
One other thing I did - not a bag mod, but a set up - was to add a smart water bottle with a bladder hose in it. The bottle went in the left side mesh pocket and I ran the hose through the room top side clamps, over the shoulder, under the small velcro pocket. It was at the perfect height for drinking without needing to stop.
My pack just arrived. Your review was so well done, I had all my questions answered. Except one-- would this pack fit me at 5'3"? Well, it does! I may have to trim the frame pad at the top, in the same way you trim shoe insoles to fit. Posting my comment here b/c it's a modification. I like to mod my gear, and really appreciate you walking us through the possibilities here. Extremely satisfied with the bag and SO customizable in fit with the movable straps. Every one! This will be a day hike bag for me. Thanks!!
Thank you!! Im glad to help.
I appreciate your comment! Always good to get more feedback on different body heights.
Let me know if you do end up trimming the frame and how that fits/feels.
@@OutdoorOtaku I did trim the top. I followed the curve at the shoulders, cutting through the top row if holes. This made the strap height flush with my shoulder height. Perhaps I should have cut it at the bottom to keep the ratio of the height/curve, but this way I didn't have to take the frame out. It's the best fitting backpack I have, so much so that I might end up buying gear that allows this to become my primary backpacking bag, not just for dayhikes.
I wore the pack on a challenging day hike that took much longer than expected. On the way down I decided to run where I could to beat sunset. I'm not a runner! But this pack was so comfortable and secure on my back that I felt confident and ended up running a good part of the way. It was great!
Now I'm thinking of fastpacking, which was NEVER something I was interested in before. Thank you so much for the review of this bag. Love it!
P.S. - I did have what I needed for hiking after sunset, but didn't want to have to do that.
@@pedalparadise4096 wow thats amazing!
slight tangent, but this is why i love affordable gear. As much as i think it's important to suport locals companies and such, getting out there and enjoying yourself is just as important. Being able to pick up this budget backpack has encouraged you to try things you typically dont do. If a budget option didnt exist, you may have never wanted to pick up a vest style/ fast packing style pack. Thus never getting a chance to run and wanting to fast pack. or even worse, running in a pack that isnt designed for running and having a terrible experience.
thanks so much for sharing your story. im glad it worked out for you like that. my case is similar. after some long day hikes with this pack i got an "aha" moment. I can run with this bad boy!
Keep me updated your journey with the pack! Happy trails!!
@@OutdoorOtaku Thanks! You are exactly right. My experience with this budget bag has me looking for a 50L bag with these same features and fit. Which will likely be a cottage made ($$$) pack.
@@pedalparadise4096 Exactly! Which pack are you looking at? 👀
Merci beaucoup
je t'en prie!
Thank you for this! Will show my husband since he’s a n00b and he needs it
🤣 he's a god at warface tho 👀
You should really consider making your own backpack. You know how to sew, you have great ideas on how to make a minimalist backpack, just go for it! It seems like you could (relatively) easily design a backpack around accepting the Nashville Cutaway straps, which would allow to avoid the most difficult sewing (which is the straps).
I really should.
That's tru. I already have a cutaway so its just the pack body.
Thanks for the encouragement!

omg nooooooo hahahahaha 💀💀💀💀
@@OutdoorOtaku did ya try it???
@ 500 subs. no 🧢 @@higler.
I heard some ppl complaining about chafing on the lower back because of some seam. Any experience? Wanted to buy this for my 3-4 day mountain tours where I sleep in cabines but definitely still want something comfortable.
I vaguely recall a comment mentioning that however i cannot find it unfortunately. I've only heard that once and now with your comment twice.
I have not found that to be the case.
As with ANY pack though, there may be certain spots that may chafe certain people.
I have A LOT of packs. Many of them i have not yet posted. Outdor vitals skyline 30, palante joey, mountain smith zerk 40, raidlight packs, etc. Other than the Palante joey, this is the most comfortable for me.
For the price point of this pack, i'd say its worth a try.
Let me start by saying i enjoyed watching you change the backpack to fit your needs.
My question is wouldn't it have been better to just make a bag with backpack straps?
You removed all the features i thought useful.
The big one being the zipper. That is useful for finding stuff when bag is full. I would have liked to see away to improve it.
Maybe reinforce the zipper.
I don't understand removing the frame. At that point it is just a Landry bag with straps.
I really like the bottom pocket.
Don't necessarily agree with your project but i enjoy your skill and sharing your work.
So you have a new Sub.
Have a good one !
Thank you for the creative mod ideas and thorough, excellent review. 1) I noticed the pack is pictured on Amazon with a waist strap (which I prefer for a bit of extra stabilization) but I don't see it on your pack. Do you have an earlier version that doesn't come with a hip belt, or did you remove it? 2) Which sewing machine do you use and where did you learn to sew gear?
Thank you!!
1. I remove it at 1:05
2. singer 401a from facebook marketplace. was $75. It ran really slowly, which i assumed was a motor issue. Since this is an older machine with all mechanical parts (no computer) there are many vids on utube on how to repair. I ended up taking the motor out, disassembling it, and cleaning it. works like a charm now!
it was a bit of a hassle, but a lot of fun. and now i know the machine really well so if something happens i can repair it myself.
I learned on my own watching utube. My skills are definitely not great. but you really dont need much knowledge to sew at a basic level. I pretty much only use the straight stitch and then a zigzag.
@@OutdoorOtaku Thank you, gives me hope to learn : ) LoL, sorry about missing the waist strap removal, that's what I get for watching while working out!
@@leigha6275 you got it!! if someone as impatient as me can do it im sure anyone can lol.
no worries! I respect the multi tasking!
i've been researching this pack (and the C9116 10L) a lot lately, where did you buy it? aliexpress or official site?
aliexpress! however can be found on amazon as well. i just posted the links in the description :)
Hey it would be good to see your loadout for a multi-day run.
Awesome video! Do you know of any similar packs that are 40 liters?
Thank you! I've heard good things about the mountainsmith zerk 40. Fellow Utuber Justin Outdoors speaks highly of it.
Here's a list of a bunch of vest style running packs-

@@OutdoorOtaku Thank you! I ended up getting the Aonijie 30L though and I love it. I would have never known about it without your videos on it!
@@KEvin-wx1qv My pleasure! Im glad you like it!!
