    I do bikepacking bags out of essentially the same materials. One person shop. It's cool to see another maker work and how those guys do things. Will definitely look into their packs though as my wife and I do quite a bit of hiking/trekking as well.

      @thetrailhunter4469  5 років тому +1

  • @bakkila99
    @bakkila99 8 місяців тому

    Ok hear me out. Someone needs to design a backpack that turns into a shelter. You have all this excess fabric that lives in your pack most of the time, taking up space and adding weight, and generally only comes out when you are camping for the night. I’d love to see an innovative way to wrap your gear up into your shelter, roll it up, and strap it to your back in a way that’s comfortable and supports your gear weight.

    • @barryfullick7981
      @barryfullick7981 Рік тому

      If memory serves correctly, the atom packs specs say that its an Oxford weave Cordura 500 weight. A look at my Atom+50 suggests that to be the case. Great pack: everything on it works as intended and the quality of the construction is faultless, hard to think of any way it could be improved. The 50litre size allows good space for a multi-day winter load out without brutally compressing your down insulation, plus extra fuel and all that calorie dense stuff we need when the mercury is trying to find a way out the bottom of the thermometer. Well done and thankyou Atom Packs.

      The Trail Hunter This was a promotional video. Short clip of marking up fabric. Short shot of sewing. I expected from the title you would show them sewing up parts of the bag. Then something like “Here they pay special attention to stitching for extra strength, etc” . Not giving away or showing everything but some process like attaching the straps. This was you going and getting a bag made from the 50,000 foot view. Maybe explain fabric options and reasons.

      Tech guy. I make these videos for free for you to watch, with absolutely no ads and without any paid promotions. I’m sure there are other videos out there offering exactly what you’re looking for, but I think it’ll be hard to find a company looking to give away their intellectual property so you can go and copy one of their products.
