This is conformation that sewing skills and construction can cross over. I also sew and build things, so much in common. It's wonderful to see your progress to today. Thank you for bringing me some more inspiration.
Wish I'd watched this 3 yrs ago. @50:27 you can use seam sealer (for tents) diluted with white spirits, for the outside seams of your pack. Just apply sparingly along the outside seam with a Q-Tip and wipe off the excess straight away. Also just started binge watching the whole series of your house renovation after watching the full edited version. Good luck with the rest of your projects.
That’s fantastic. I’m always imagining the perfect back pack. This has inspired me to keep on imagining and maybe one day I’ll actually get down to making it myself.
So impressed. Your patience and perseverance are really something. Nice design and you kept the functionality high while deleting the superfluous. Thanks!
Thanks! Was keen to eliminate anything I wouldn't actually use. I guess that's the great thing about making your own gear and being able to make it right just for you...
Perfect! That doesn’t mean it’s flawless but just right right in the eye of the beholder. I can’t believe the details and functions you’ve come up with . Don’t worry about your sleeping bag getting wet. I think it’s always a good idea to put it in an extra dry bag anyways. But after watching your video, I’d buy your backpack if you’d ever put it on sale. It looks that good
I really like you enthusiasm regarding creating new stuff instead of buying it. I like the idea to learn a new skill. Wish to create a more time for that as well. Have to work with my priorities and energy.
Perfect perfect perfect! I’ve been obsessing over making a backpack lately and you’re video might be the tipping point. I don’t have ANY sewing experience but that’s what the internet is for. Cheers 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Ah you'll be fine! Sewing isn't rocket science, once you learn to stitch a straight line you're good to go. Enjoy the build (and using it afterwards!!) :)
You are amazing. I could never dream of making my own backpack. I have watched all your videos. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
I have caught up on watching all of your homestead videos and I just love all of what you do!!!!! Now I am catching up on your hiking videos and this one of course.
Great video. I love the detail you provide. I am soon to make a similar pack, having bought most of the materials I need. So, you will be a great help as I go through the same process of figuring out what I need to do to create my ideal pack. Thanks.
Beautiful job, beautiful job, well done. Made two of my own, still practising. This was a big help for my third project. Thank you Rosie. Thumbs up from snowy Finland...
Thanks for a detailed video! Also thank you for leaving in your discussions on design decisions and mistakes. I learnt a lot from you. Hope to have my first pack finished soon. You should consider an industrial machine for the straps especially. I very recently started making my own dust covers/bags etc for my camera gear - in Africa were are a little more concerned about dust than weather :-) . Hoping to ramp up to full on camera backpacks and regular backpacks soon. Thanks for a really good video Rosie!
You've got some good plans, good luck! I agree, an industrial machine would be so good. If ever I get a new one, I'll definitely try and source an industrial one!
Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!
That was so fun to watch. Finally a good video on a homemade backpack. I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get better with a sewing machine so I can do what you did.
@@seans5088 I'm afraid I don't have the pattern in any shape or form that I can share, but my blog post on the prototyping stage shares a few more dimensions and alterations I made from the very first 'rectangular box' type prototype I did... maybe that'll help a little...
Really enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work! Also really enjoy reading your blog! Very inspiring way of living and a refreshing take on the whole thruhiking stuff.
Love the backpack - stitching trick - you may already be doing this but I can't see your strap too well - for strap attachments: after sewing the square around the end, stitch diagonally corner to corner - adds stability from being pulled only horizontally and vertically! LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS - so very inspiring as I just moved to the woods, and am a bit overwhelmed by the transition and the totally new ways of living. Steady and sure, I'm learning being slow is OK. Not knowing how to fix things is OK - I can figure it all out. Thank you.
Awesome vid, really helpful. picked up a sewing machine yesterday, to start making some of my own stuff but still tring to figure the thing out 😂🤣 happy trails 🤙
If you turn your pins to a 90 degree angle to the fabric, you are much less apt to break a needle while sewing. Needles tend to skip over them. That helps to keep your fabric from 'walking' while you're sewing and makes a neater look. That being said I think you were being too hard on yourself about the look of your belt. :D
I want to make a similar pack. I've seen that the Atom+ has delays of 8 weeks. Let's see if I can be faster. Good job on your backpack and awesome that you showed the prototype. I always make miniature prototypes out of scraps or paper and just glue them instead of sewing, which saves a lot of time. 🎉❄️
Ah yes. 8 weeks is quite common isn't it. Good luck trying one for yourself! I also been making little paper models for my tent design, it looks so cute. Fabric seems easier for packs though, cause you can put weight in it and try it on!
I have dream to make my own backpack, but never sit at sewing machine. My sister has one, so I play her this video and than she must make it! 😂😂😂 Beautiful backpack, lot of hard work, but with nice result. Thank you for sharing that.
It’s shocking how many pieces can go into making a multi functioning bag . ❤ Are you selling the PDF pattern ? Rosie ❤ Ps your haberdashery scissors look cool .
It looks like a freaking 250 pounds backpack. This is one of the best MYOG DIY project I've seen. Deffinetly inspiring and makes want to do something like that (despite all the hardship documented on the video). congratulations and hopefully the backpack works wonders for you. Subscribed!
When I first read your comment I was really confused, cause I couldn't figure out why the pack looks so heavy?? Haha! Thanks for the great feedback though! I hope I get to take the pack on the proper hike that it deserves to go on :)
I really enjoyed watching this - I too make mistakes and have to unpick things! I found it very inspiring just knowing that you designed and made this. You are obviously very talented and could probably fix your own sewing machine by the way! Most problems are simple and easy to fix. Did your reverse feed work or not?
Reverse feed is still not working...! I did open up the machine but it seemed pretty impossible to access anything. I did think of taking it into a shop but then decided against because of the cost... Would be nice to get the reverse feed going again though... perhaps I should have another look!
I love the work you did and I’m going to start on my own soon. Mine is going to be similar in style but I’m still not entirely sure if I’m going to use a padded hip belt. After using the pack do you feel like you could go without the belt or was your base weight just not quite low enough to pull it off?
I’m really happy with the hip belt! It’s very sleek and doesn’t feel bulky in any way. My base weight is probably light enough for a no hip belt pack, but I tend to carry heavy foods so it makes up for it. Saying that, I really like the simple sleeve and I can easily take out the hip belt when I just go for a short hike...!
Just started on my first pack too and I wasn't sure if the Evazote EV-50 that I ordered wouldn't be too stiff as it was advertised for tent floors where I bought it but you give me hope :D Subscribed! At about 15:00 you say "A mil and a half, two mil" and the text says 1.5mm. I'm confused, is there a place where a mil is a mm? I know mil as 0.0254mm, basically a thousands of an inch and got confused :D
Really enjoyed watching this, thanks for making it! Hope to see you make more projects in the future! How did you come up with the 40-45L volume estimate?
Hi! Unfortunately I don't have a box filled with ping pong balls, so I essentially compared my dimensions against other packs I've owned / researched when I started to design this one. Most of the packs I was looking at were around the 48-50l volume, and all my dimensions ended up being just a little bit smaller, hence the 40-45l estimate... I do hope to do a proper measurement at one point, but I think it's quite accurate.
Hi! It's simply called 'Stretch Mesh Fabric' from Adventure Xpert (.com) They are in Europe though, and I'm afraid I don't know where you can get the same thing in the US. However, it appears to be the exact same stuff Gossamer Gear uses on their front pockets, so it should be available somewhere?!
Hi! I used Gutermann Tera 60 which I would definitely recommend. I've just bought the Tera 80 as well, which is a little thinner and good for thinner fabrics, like tent materials etc...
Hi! I don't currently have a pattern but I am writing up a few blog posts on the designing / prototyping / building stages which should include more helpful details. I'll drop you a comment when it's up (hopefully this weekend)!
I now have a post up on the prototyping stage, a second about the build / review is still coming. Let me know if you have any particular questions? Am happy to help if I can! You can find it here: roamingwildrosie.com/myog/
I'd also be curious! Personally, depending on your sewing abilities, I'd say any decent machine would do, but to me it seems the key thing is to make sure your machine can handle thick layers. I'd check how far up the presser foot can go as that's definitely where my machine was lacking and causing issues...
I'm very inspired by your work and am currently prototyping a pack using certain design elements inspired by your work. I'm not sure what dimensions you use but the dimensions are close to a 20-25L packback I already own. Are you including external pockets in your estimation of 40-45L pack volume? Best Regards :)
Hi! I'm definitely including all outside pockets into my estimate, but I may be misjudging the volume... I was very keen to make a 45l pack and while it does fit a lot, you may be right and it could be closer to 40l or a little less... Very curious about your pack though. What are the elements that inspired your design?
I've been to Indonesia but never got to do any proper hiking, unfortunately... It's a gorgeous country, and really I should go back. My family is from Indonesia!
Great video! was very inspiring! I'm thinking about sewing myself a pack and they Wonder how much time did it take you to make a whole pack from start to finish?
You should! Hmm it took me quite some time. I definitely spent 2 or 3 days on the prototypes and patterns, but I didn't have a sewing machine so I had to hand sew them. The actual pack took probably around 10 days. Not counting the countless days researching materials and suppliers and all that. Saying that, some people make a pack in a day. I have no idea how they do it!!
@@yaacovtench3060 No worries! I also wrote two blog posts on my website about the build, and I just added the link in the description of this video, in case that might be of any help as well :)
Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed watching, but please stop saying you made mistakes: you had many meaningful learning experiences but I didn't see any "mistakes" . As far as the intermittent stopping of you machine only to have it work the next day; that's usually a sign it needs oiling. Over all I would give you a great job : )
I'm just sitting here imagining substituting "I made another mistake" for "I made another meaningful learning experience", which would sound rather brilliant! Thinking you're right about the oiling part. I did try to take the machine apart but couldn't really find the right thing to oil... it could probably benefit from a service either way!
Damn that's so cool. I'd love to learn the basics of sewing to bring my personal take on a backpack to life too :D. Well if you for some weird Reason want to learn basics in 3D printing, lasercutting, woodworking or rapid prototyping I welcome you at my workshop maybe in return you can give me a sewing lesson ? ☺️ Anyways well done !
Woodworking would be quite useful right around now! ;) Well, I'm sure if you can do all those other things, then you can easily learn how to sew. All you really need to do is sew a straight line and you're good :)
This is conformation that sewing skills and construction can cross over. I also sew and build things, so much in common. It's wonderful to see your progress to today. Thank you for bringing me some more inspiration.
Wish I'd watched this 3 yrs ago. @50:27 you can use seam sealer (for tents) diluted with white spirits, for the outside seams of your pack. Just apply sparingly along the outside seam with a Q-Tip and wipe off the excess straight away. Also just started binge watching the whole series of your house renovation after watching the full edited version. Good luck with the rest of your projects.
Oh you clever thing! What a good project. Must be satisfying to walk with such a major item that is truly your own.
This was so inspiring!! Thank you for leaving in the mistakes, I found it really interesting how you fixed them.
Happy to hear you found it useful! I wish I'd kept in more mistakes but they were all quite minor... and the video got much too long ;)
That’s fantastic. I’m always imagining the perfect back pack. This has inspired me to keep on imagining and maybe one day I’ll actually get down to making it myself.
You should! It's very satisfying. And after the pack you realise you could make all sorts of gear yourself.... projects for life! ;)
Awesome video and beautiful pack. Thank you. I have much more if an idea of how to do my own now. Happy trails.
So impressed. Your patience and perseverance are really something. Nice design and you kept the functionality high while deleting the superfluous. Thanks!

@@wildrosie You make it sound easy. But I know it was a labour of love. I wish I had a small amount of the patience you have!
How beautiful it is to see someone so organized to work... I loved your video!
Perfect! That doesn’t mean it’s flawless but just right right in the eye of the beholder. I can’t believe the details and functions you’ve come up with .

Where did you get the stretch mesh and what is the name of that specific mesh? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the US?
Hi! It's simply called 'Stretch Mesh Fabric' from Adventure Xpert (.com) They are in Europe though, and I'm afraid I don't know where you can get the same thing in the US. However, it appears to be the exact same stuff Gossamer Gear uses on their front pockets, so it should be available somewhere?!
Nice job :)

Hello, do you have the dimensions for the shoulder straps or a pdf that I can buy from you? Thanks
I'm afraid not! If ever I consolidate the mess of patterns and turn it into something usable then I'll let you know... :)
Hi Rosie ,whst type of thread did you use with the vx fabric. Great video
Hi! I used Gutermann Tera 60 which I would definitely recommend. I've just bought the Tera 80 as well, which is a little thinner and good for thinner fabrics, like tent materials etc...

Hi every one watching Rosie make her own backpack Q what would be the best afordable sewing machines to do this with any idea thanks.
I'd also be curious! Personally, depending on your sewing abilities, I'd say any decent machine would do, but to me it seems the key thing is to make sure your machine can handle thick layers. I'd check how far up the presser foot can go as that's definitely where my machine was lacking and causing issues...
