I like your interpretation much better then the once using williow weaving that goes through the bottom holes. The holes on the original boards was much to small for that kind of willow weaving. More likely interpretation would be as you have done here where you stitch a basket on the boards the basket could be bark or a basket made of bast fibers as the basket from oseberg. Well done
Thank you for your comment. That was also my conclusion with the small holes. I have also seen reconstructions with leather instead of bark. A willow basket could have been sewn on like i do here, but not woven through the bottom holes.
Thank you so much:) watching your channel was part of inspiring me to start making my own Videos. Seems to me that craftmanship is like sparks that can start New fires.
There is wooden parts of viking planes found for a truer reconstruction. I was not aware when i made mine. Its a nice piece in the tool Kit. Not handy often but when it is I dont want to be without it. For me that Garlic smell in the Woods (and my garden) is heralding springtime
Thank you for your comment. Its not easy but yes edited together it looks that way. I spend many Hours planning, researching and preparing. Part 2 was 6 Hours in the wild and part 3 was 9 Hours. But Lovely time well spend:) thank you for your comment Robert.
This is amazing 🤩 Your video is remarkably educational and instructive. We have recently discovered that my husband and I have Scandinavian DNA and our teenage son has a keen interest. Thanks again ☺️❤ Cheers
Great video, thats some real craftsmanship in that backpack and good use of materials, I love all your tools too and enjoyed seeing you make that simple carving, often times people do realy complicated carvings, simple carvings give me hope that I could do it too haha. Realy tasty looking food also, it all makes me anxious for when our last bit of winter goes away and spring truly starts so we can go outside and do some stuff😀 P.S We like your gloves, Mum is currently making pair almost just like them using some icelandic wool though she is crocheting.
Thank you very much. Im sure you can do great carving. And remember that practise (and learning from RUclips) makes perfect. Im sure she Will make a great pair of gloves of that great wool:) stay safe and again thanks for taking your time to write me:)
Very nice job! Interesting how you used various parts of the Birch and the roots to make the pack parts and sinew. Is this from a Traditional way or your own? Thank You, Skal
Thank you. Its simply my interpretation of how the backpac2 could have been made. Only the two wooden boards were found so i opted for bark and just used the materials around and my own logic i how to work it. So not following a specific style or tradition here. I want to thank you for your interest in my videos:) all the best
That's awesome! May the Lord JESUS bless your soul!!! HE, this very day led me to a big, dead birch tree, now I know why!! It's also tapping season. Do you know when is the best season to harvest chaga? Amadou??
Hello Levis:) im happy to hear you stumbled upon a great rescource. i am not aware of a better or not so good season for Amadou. I collect when i find and mostly it works well for catching a spark. For the chaga drink maybe its different? all the best:)
@@RAMUNI-Viking I see no problem patching leather together. It was probably done back then as well, I don't think anyone would cut into a precious hide just to make a backpack
Thank you for the comment. I think wicker is a good possibillity. One of the small carvings on the original wood board from the top/bottom shows what looks like wicker weaving.
Yes it its Linen fabric treated the with melted wax. It can be wrapped and folded and keeps its form relatively. No Sources or Proof from Viking age but very use full for modern natural bushcraft.
Thank you Sandy. I dont know yet. The wear and tear I will expose it to is going to be pretty limited compared to what I imagine the original would have been. But I suppose it will have a pretty long life if taken care of, not overloaded or banged against trees or unlucky falls or anything. Damages should be repaired when they appear. Lets see:)
@@ozodari6160 thank you. I made. I plantdyed the wool fabrics with things i collected in my local nature and handstitched it after a found from skjoldemamn in Norway from the viking age.
Thank you for your comment. Im not sure it has many advantages, but these materials are cheap and ready at hand (if you have the right trees and plants nearby). Leather was a more expensive rescource as the animal needed to die, the skin tanned and processed and it would have taken a lot of time and energy. And I think leather has greater uses elsewhere. Ex. for shoes and things that needs to be more flexible like a small pouch or belt bag. Here its a rigid form where bark and tree are just fine. Great day to you too:)

@@RAMUNI-Viking What?! I'm honored! And yes, I believe that too!
The mini hand plain is really cool. Maybe i will make me one like that . We have wild Garlic here to. Its smells up the whole forest.

@@RAMUNI-Viking thanks for the reply, i haven't looked, im assuming youare in scandinavia somewhere?
awesome job - I made one out of leather, it's a lot of work. Thank you for posting !!
Thank you. Im sure your leather version is amazing:) i Considered that option also but didnt have enough lying around
@@RAMUNI-Viking I see no problem patching leather together. It was probably done back then as well, I don't think anyone would cut into a precious hide just to make a backpack
Parabéns pelo vídeo e secessso sempre
thank you so much:)
Beautiful vidéo and beautiful craft ! Bravo 👏
Thank you Maitre:)
what are the dimensions of the bark you useed for the body of the backpack?
Do you need the exact dimensions for the final backpack or the sheets of bark i started out with? The sheets were 60x60 cm and 1 to 2 mm thick.
Great video, showing alot oc different skills. What do you think about the posibility of the side being made of wicker?
Thank you for the comment. I think wicker is a good possibillity. One of the small carvings on the original wood board from the top/bottom shows what looks like wicker weaving.
How tall is yours around 50cm im guessing?
Yes the Birchbark sheets were 60cm tall and I cut a bit off in each end so roughly 50 plus the boards
That cloth you have butter in, what is it put in with?? Beeswax???
Yes it its Linen fabric treated the with melted wax. It can be wrapped and folded and keeps its form relatively. No Sources or Proof from Viking age but very use full for modern natural bushcraft.
Okay. Thanks for your reply and thanks for sharing the video...
wow excellent job. How long does one of these pack's last? Pretty amazing.

thank you for your comment:) I will
@@RAMUNI-Viking Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
what is that paper you are using to hold your food?
Linen fabric impregnated with beeswax. My wife made these for me. I do not have archaeological evidence for it though
@@RAMUNI-Viking
Ah, the plastic wrap of medieval times.
You made a vegetarian backpack!
Very cool, what advantages do you think this has over a leather backpack?
Thanks have a great day,
Also your green shirt with the yellow stripe, absolutely wonderful. Whoever made that gets a 10/10 for style
