- In this video we take a look at the Savotta Jääkäri rucksack. Made over in Finland and used by the Finnish Border Patrol, this is the 40-60 litre option from a choice of four sizes. I originally bought it as a large day pack and for multi day use, as the pack has the capacity to hold all the gear needed for both short and longer trips. The build quality is excellent and the pack is very comfortable to wear. It is not cheap, but certainly worth a look if you are looking for a top quality, reliable rucksack. Thanks for watching..........

Excellent pack, i ended up getting the size large jääkäri but found using the bottom zip to access kit a bit of a pain when fully loaded so moved it on and got the XL version which is much better for my needs, but Savotta is bombproof kit and very comfortable to when full of kit etc.
Absolutely Love your accent & the review
Hi ColoradoPhantom67, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍. I'm glad you enjoyed the video..... it is nice of you to say. Have a great week and stay safe during these time... all the best, Mark. 😀.
Just got my savatta ruck sack large in the mail yesterday, man I love this thing,it's huge an full of room for storage for everything but the kitchen sink.
Hi Kenny, I hope you are keeping well mate 👍. They are a great pack..... I hope you get many years use out of it. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 ,thanks mate,I will an you too, still working on setting it up how I want an getting more gear to put in it for my next camping trip, gonna try an head to blade show in June to meet corpral kelly an get his knife,I already have a puukko knife from Finland the 140mm, it's been an outstanding knife so far an tough as hell for the price.
Unfortunately, my mother took I'll an passed before the blade show,so I didn't go an two,he would've been sold out of the knife I was gonna get.
@@kennywheelus6857 I'm sorry to hear about your mother Kenny. They are very special people. My Dad passed a couple of years ago, so I know how hard it can be. Stay safe my friend, regards, Mark.
@@markbailey2981 ,ty you very much mate,much appreciated
I love the sound of the rain, specially under a taro or tent
👌🏾
Hi Isaac, I hope you are keeping well :) Yes it is a soothing sound. I was just concerned that it may have been too loud for the mic, but it seemed ok :) Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment, all the best, Mark :)
Wow! Another excellent product from Savotta. Real top of the game.
Many thanks for watching.... have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Hey Brother Mark! Awesome video! THe review was very well thought out and presented! That looks like a serious pack! Seems like it would serve anyone well! Thanks for taking us along! Have a blessed one, and may the forest be with you brother!
Hi Brother, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Yeah, hopefully for the cost I will be very happy with it. It seems comfortable enough and with plenty of adjustments, it allows for a nice fit. I like that- 'may the forest be with you'. Thanks again for stopping by and hope you have a blessed week too :) All the best, Mark :)
Good day Mark, thx for the overlook. Very nice Ruck and lately heard a lot of good info about the Ruck. Thx again Bud.
Hi Victor, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Came across your channel whilst researching this bag, fantastic channel my friend and I’m slowly but surely working my way through your videos!
Hi Tayside Explorer, I hope you are keeping well :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Sorry for the late reply, I have been working away. The pack is a great pack. Not cheap, but like they say, buy once, cry once lol. I appreciate watching the videos mate :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark.
Excellent video Mark, good explanation love the rucksack.
Hi Robert, I hope you are keeping well :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks Mark, outstanding detailed review.
Thanks for watching David and taking the time to comment :) Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Hello Mark, nice to see you out again and thanks for running us through the rucksack.
Regards dave
Hi David, I hope you are keeping well. Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark glad to see you got a "dryish" day to get out! That is a fantastic pack and you did a great job of explaining it. I'm familiar with Savotta, too quality gear!! Take care buddy!✌👍Wade
Hi Wade, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah, a semi dry day... thankfully :) They have given rain and gales for the next 2 weeks. Hopefully once this passes and we get a few nice days, all the buds and blossom should be on the trees. Thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment Wade, all the very best, Mark :)
Excellent. I hear so many good reports on Savotta gear. Stay dry partner.
Many thanks for watching..... have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks for sharing mark good review I've got the 30 litre with savotta side pockets on for smaller pieces of kit works brilliant great quality equipment stay safe
Hi John, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I have been looking at the side pockets that they make and will most probably add a couple at some point. My bank accounts just got to get over the cost of the pack yet lol. Saying that, if I like this one as much as I think I might, I may look at one of the day packs, like the small or medium. Thanks again and have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Great presentation
Nice pack , great video mate , I do like that pack
Hi Fog360, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best, Mark :)
Thankfully I don't need another Rucksack at the moment but would definitely consider one of these, it looks Uber comfy to wear and quality build. Thanks as always for the Upload brother.
Hi Bigeardedmouse17, I hope you are keeping well :) Yeah I must stop buying rucksacks my self lol. I have been very happy with it so far, both comfort and build quality are excellent, hopefully it will get some use in the summertime :) Have great day, all the best, Mark.
Oh it is,I got the large 60liters, as long as you choose the size for you,mine fits well,I will get a bladder for it eventually, I chose black,all my friends want one now,high quality stiches,all Paden shoulder straps an back padding for lumbar support, plenty of mollie lashings.
Hi Mark,
another great video full of good content. Thank you for doing a more in depth review on the Savotta Jääkäri rucksack. As I said before great looking rucksack, it certainly looks well made and up to the task in hand. Great use of the space it provides, putting the hydration bladder in the same pocket as the frame. All in all a nice looking, hard wearing, well made rucksack with plenty of options.
Thanks for sharing Mark, have yourself a great weekend. Looking forward to your next video.
Ath best, Paul.
Hi Paul, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, so far, so good with the pack. I was out the other day with it and I am finding it to be the most comfortable pack that I own. The only down side is the price. But once you have got over the shock, you have a pack that should last for years. I have been very lucky and a very kind gent has sent me a couple of external pouches for it. So that is giving me more options to carry extra gear on the outside of the pack :) I hope you have a great weekend too Paul :) All the best, Mark.
I love how polite you are. We need to bring back more of this.
Good review, thanks for the opinion. The standard olive and black jaakari's are from normal Cordura, while Foxdura is used only for the M05 camo version. Ive heard its not as stupid durable as cordura but still plenty enough for abuse.
Hi Teh, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Hell Mark hope all is well with you. Another great video buddy pack looks great and the overview of the pack so so well explained thanks for sharing a.t.b Andrew
Hi Andrew, I hope you had a nice weekend mate. Yeah all good here thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video bud. The pack is a great piece of kit. So hopefully get some use out of it during the summer. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great pack and love the set up. That sausage and beans looked like a blast from the past with the nuclear orange sauce 😂😂. Had a walk out myself this weekend so possibly a video from that but it was very windy. ATB and Cheers Sel
Hi Sel, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah the sauce is a bit of a dazzler lol. No food colouring here!! Yeah it has been well windy this week. They recon 80mph winds tonight up north somewhere. I didn't realise you were doing videos mate. Nice one :) I've just subbed :) It will be nice to catch up with you and see you new dog. Cheers Sel, all the best, Mark :)
Aye Mark looks like a very nice pack. Thanks for a good review of the pack. Take care.
Hi Quinn, I hope you have had a nice weekend :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best, Mark :)
Looks a great pack . Was considering that but went for karrimor sabre 45, still might go for that at some point if I can afford it. . Atb 👍
Hi Treks n tarps, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. You can't fault the Sabre packs. They have always been a solid pack. The savotta are a nice pack, just a bit pricy. Have a great weekend mate, all the best 👍👍.
Yes mate that's why I went for the sabre , take care bud 👍
Hi Mark that's a really nice bag mate should last you a very long time. Thanks for sharing and as always be safe and be lucky. Wol.
Hi Wol, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah, hopefully it should last. I've made myself a promise to stop buying packs lol. Hopefully I will get some use out of it when the weather begins to settle down. Thanks for stopping by Wol, all the best, Mark :)
This was a phenomenal overview of this pack. Great job with this video. Unfortunately, I didn't find your video in time before I made my decision on what pack to buy. Fortunately, though, I had decided on the Jääkäri L 😂 Looking forward to getting it in the mail. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to make this with such detail!
I want to get the lodge as well the downside to the large zone is that it doesn't have the zipper going down the side that's the only downside to what I think
@@clayguinard3651 you're absolutely right. I've had the L Jaakari for several months now and it's a phenomenal, bombproof pack but a pack of this size really needs something like Mystery Ranch's Y-zippers or a side entrance to get to the deep stuff more easily. That's my one and only knock on this pack
Great review bro. I love this backpack. Is expensive but quality. Thumb up
Hi brother, I hope you are keeping well. Yeah the price was what made me think twice about buying it. But once I did I have been very happy with it :) Thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment, all the best, Mark.
Very nice pack. You could remove the battle belt from the pack, add a few MOLLE pouches for essentials and scout around short distances from camp. Great video as always Mark. Have a great week!
Hi Rich, I hope you are having a nice weekend :) Yeah I think that is the idea of the battle belt. I suppose if you had a set of pouches on the outside of the pack you could take them off and fasten them to the belt. This would work well for water bottles, fire and first aid kits etc. It is a neat idea, like you say if you needed to move away from your main pack and just carry the essential items. I may look into buying a few of their pouches. Once I have got over the cost of the pack lol. Thanks again Rich. I hope you have a great week too :) All the best, Mark.
Hi Mark!
I own the Savotta Jääkäri M (day trips), Savotta Jääkäri L (spring, summer, fall overnight) and the Savotta LJK Modular (winter). And I love every single one of them. Excellent gear has its price, but I have not regretted the purchase for a second.
All the best, Andy
Hi Andy, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Well if you have the full range and your happy with it, it makes me more confident that I made the right choice. So far I have been very pleased with it. I was also thinking of getting the medium for work and short trips. Like you say it is excellent gear and once you have parted with the money, you have an awesome piece of kit :) Have a great week ahead Andy, all the best, Mark :)
I've been looking at these packs for a little while now and I was undecided. Your video was great and you displayed the pack very well in my opinion. I've decided to purchase the Large. Thank you for this video, it really helped. Stay strong & safe! 🤙🏼
Hi Tim, many thanks for watching and for the kind words, it is very much appreciated :) I have been very impressed by the pack so far. It is perfect for the things I carry and it is built to last. I like the various options of waist belts you can buy dependent on your load, plus the pockets and pouches are all the same kind of quality. I'm sure you will be very happy it when it comes :) Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hi, thanks for sharing. Did you bought it? Can you help?
-i can see that the interior stiched seams arent reinforced in the same way as the ones on the lid interior. ( Same way as the lid, belt and shoulder straps are finished at their perimeter) (No linning and uncovered inside sewing?)
On their website you can see the fabric on that seams,that hold the MOLLE/PAL webbing to the backpack fabric too, its gettting loose fibers, like the fabric falling apart...
Should we be concerned about this issue? i think, over time it will only getting worst. Only with normal use.
-I can see that in some photos, the vertical stiching is at the outside , where it holds the MOLLE/PAL webbing, but in others the stiching is at the inside, making it less fragile.Rocks and friction will break the exterior stiching.Where should we expect to find them if we buy one?
Is the interior stiching an upgrade of new modells?
-It looks like the snow will stick to the padding fabric. ( Belt, shoulder straps, and back padding). Is that correct? Thats not the best solution for winter.
-Does the belt transfer the weight in a good way? Could it work pulling a pulka/sled?
I hope i explain myself .
Thanks in advance.
@@markbailey2981 Mark -- Really digging this pack in concept. Thoughts/philosophy on the medium vs. the large? Is the weight/bulk difference really so much that even if 99% of the time the pack's going to be used for day hikes -- and, much more rarely, a few 24-48-72 hour stints with my State Guard unit (and maybe as the once in a lifetime GHB in the event of the zombie apocalypse) -- one shouldn't opt for the larger pack even if all the capacity is rarely if ever used? BTW, I'm 5'8" or so and about 175 pounds (over 50 - got some fluff to work off). For longer backpacking trips, which I'm just starting to get into with my sons, I use a Zpacks Arc Haul. -- Cheers, Mike
@@michaelkent2203 Hi Mike, I hope you are keeping well mate 👍. I was also looking at the medium pack before I bought the large, but I have a couple of packs around the 30ltr size. I was looking for something specifically to use for overnighters where I would have to carry a sleeping bag, cooking equipment etc. I could of got away with the medium pack if I had bought the side pockets as well, but I didn't want to run the chance of spending the money and still struggle from time to time. I have used the pack on a number of day hikes and because it can be rolled down it didn't feel too big or cumbersome. I suppose it depends what you usually carry on a day hike. If I was looking to buy one mainly for day hikes in the climate where I am, then I would of opted for the medium size. If I needed more capacity then I would add the side pockets. They are quite large when you see them close up. I hope this helps Mike. Take care buddy, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Thanks. That all makes sense. I think based on your feedback the M is probably the right choice for me. I'll stick with my Zpack Arc Haul for longer treks.
Great review, cheers!
Hi welshcarl, I hope you are keeping mate 👍. Many thanks for watch and taking the time to comment. have a great day, all the best, Mark.
Hey Mark 🙂 Really like that pack!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Crazy weather here as well... 2 nights ago we had a freeze and today is supposed to reach 80 F
Hi Joe, I hope you are well brother :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Yeah the weather is all over the place at the moment. It has been snowing on and off all morning. I wouldn't mind a bit of your 80F. Then I can moan that its too hot lol. Take care my friend, and have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Nice kit mark
Cheers Shane :) I hope you are keeping well mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark hope you are keeping well mate another great video
Hi Shaun, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) Yeah, were not too bad here thanks. Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) All the best, Mark :)
that is a good pack mate looks very well made.. hope your well pal...👍
Hi Kevin, I hope you are well mate :) Were all good here thanks. Yeah, so far so good with the pack mate. Hopefully I will get some use out of it when the weather begins to pick up a little. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the links 👍
Hi SifuSas Do, many thanks for watching and taking the the time to comment 👍. Stay safe my friend, all the best, Mark 😀.
I got the xl Jäger it's the best pack i ever had
Great video..Mark Bailey
Thank you Hazel Adventure :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
It's a sturdy looking pack Mark. Would probably rival the British Army Bergen in terms of robustness, although the Savotta pack looks like a much more comfortable carrying system. And cant complain with extra molle to attach other pouches to compartmentalize your kit. Nice one mate, take care.
Hi Andy, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah, I have been very pleased with it so far. Its not got the same capacity as the large 100ltr British army Bergen, but its large enough for my needs. They make an XL version which is 70-100ltr, but I think that is about £300. A bit too pricy lol. Thanks as always Andy. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Thank you Savotta for sending gear and equipment to help the Ukrainian soldiers fighting against the evil Russian aggressors 🙏👍
Thanks for the review. A large is on the way to the states. Everything about the pack is important to me as compared to those other lighter material packs. Be well.
Many thanks Peter, have a nice weekend, all the best, Mark :)
I have the medium pack..but am thinking about this one for longer stays or winter overnighter as could hold more warm gear
Looks a great sack Mark and a real thorough review 👍. Don't think you missed anything there. I agree with you about the lid pocket and would be handy if it's on the outside but it does the job. Looks a good tough sack . Great film as always and the wife asks " where you're originally from? ". She's been trying to pinpoint your accent 🙂. We've had some varying weather's this week havnt we. All 4 seasons in one day . All the best Mark, have a top week
Hi Rick, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah, I thought this weather was going to settle down, but we have had snow this morning. I think Spring is on hold for another week or two. It won't be too long before were moaning it's too hot lol. I'm from a place called Newcastle-under-Lyme. It's near to Stoke on Trent, so that's where most of my accent comes from. But I have lived and worked all over the country, and I expect I have picked bits up from other people. The worst was when I lived in Devon and Cornwall. They thought I was Scottish lol. Thanks as always Rick for watching and taking the time to comment mate. Have a great week too, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 haha quality lol. Had me laughing that Scottish one . Haha brilliant 😀😀. Have a top week fella 👍
I'm struggling to make a decision between the large or medium version of the pack. This definitely looks like the pack I want, I just wish there was a 40-45 liter option so it could double as a nice little day hiking bag or allow for an overnight camping trip.
@@Bobby_Rib I ended up getting the medium and it's actually bigger than I though, plus you can strap a lot of pouches or sleeping equipment to the outside to make more room. It will serve me more than well for summer or even fall 1-2 night camping trips, or day hikes. I'll just have to pack a little lighter for longer trips.
Hi Mark! This seems to be a sturdy and very practical Rucksack. If I haven't already a good 38 Liter and a 65 Liter Fjällräven Rucksack, I would definitely take a closer look at this one. But I am a little bit astonished, that Savotta did not include a raincover. Maybe because of the material and the PU-coating, the Rucksack is water repellent enough to withstand a short rain shower?! Have a nice week brother! Until next time, André
Falljraven is great company my friend is more impressive. Savvota have great quality, is more simple because is more army rucksack. I have the same back and the material is 1000 danner. In rainy day i never had a problem, everything was dry. Now for crazy rainy day i don't know how works.If you want something for many many years, jääkäri is the answer.
Hi Andre, I hope you are keeping well brother :) Yeah I was also looking at a number of Fjallraven packs prior to getting the savotta. I work with a couple of guys who swear by them. I thought I would take the gamble and try something different, so far, so good :) Yeah for the money, a built in rain cover wouldn't have gone amiss. I see that they sell them separately, but even most lower priced packs come with them nowadays. I haven't taken it out in any major rain yet, but when I do I might try it without a cover and see how well it holds up. Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment Andre :) Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Very informative video, Mark, as always. But which pack do you like better, this one or your 5.11? I see the springtime rains are starting over there. Stay safe and dry! Brian
Hi Brian, I hope you are keeping well brother :) That's a tricky question!! I love the 5:11 for my everyday day pack, but the Savotta is for more longer trips. So it would be hard to compare them that way. But the materials that savotta have used seem more durable and the stitching is really good. The 5:11 packs are so well made that you can't really fault their packs either. Yeah the spring rains are here. There is a bit of blossom out on the trees and the new buds are starting. A few nice warm days and we will be into it. Typically it started to snow this morning, so that will nock things back a little no doubt :( Thanks as always Brian.... Take care :)

Hi mark I think the 30 litre with savotta side pockets is brilliant for a day or overnighter if you have a po box I'll send you a pair I ordered the wrong size for my pack these are the large size for the pack you have stay safe
Hi John, yeah I will take a look at the 30 litre pack. Thanks for the advice. You don't have to send me the pockets brother. The offer is very much appreciated. You should put them on ebay or something and get your money back. If you do want to pass them on, you can get me by email me and I will arrange the postage and see if there is anything I can do for you in return. You can contact me at markbay@hotmail.com Thanks John, the offer has touched me. Cheers :)
Great review thank you, the pack looks like it weighs a ton before you put anything in it.
Hi eastsaxon67, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍. I agree, it isn't the lightest pack that I own. It weighs 2.4kg empty, but I find due to it's comfort, you soon loose the weight once it is on. I hope you are keeping well my friend, all the best, Mark😀.
finally, a concise review in english XD subbed
Hi Sam, many thanks for watching and for the sub. Once all this lockdown stuff is over I will get out and carry on with the videos. Have a great week, all the best, Mark 😃👍.
@@markbailey2981 looking forward to it hope you have a blast. So looking forward to getting back into the wild 😭
Do the add on pouches from savotta also work with this ruck, and have you added anything else since your review? Great overview....cheers from Ohio!
Hi Welder6131, I hope you are keeping well mate. I was lucky to be sent a couple of the side pouches by a subscriber, so I have been using them on the pack. I think they are the 6ltr side pouches, so it has allowed me to carry the smaller items on the outside which is easier. I was also looking at the pouches that fit to the waist belt, but with the lockdown and losing my job, I thought I had better wait until I was working again. Thanks for taking the time, stay safe, all the best, Mark :)

@@markbailey2981 Thanks for the fast response, i am in the same boat as you with work due to the covid virus shutting everything down. I hope to be back in the next month or so, because i am really wanting to get my hands on this ruck!
How do you get that axe all the way down the pack? Mine isn't any larger but never allows me to keep that rucksack so little.
Hi my friend, I hope you are keeping well :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I usually do a couple of things to carry the axe. If it won't fit inside the pack, I either push it down the back of the side pocket and clip it behind a compression strap, or I tie a small loop of para cord to one of the molle webbing and slide the axe through it and again clip it behind the compression strap. The axe which I carry is only 20" (51cm), so it fits in the inside the large sized pack without any problems. I hope this helps, all the best, Mark :)
Hello Mark. Thank you very much for mentioning your height. I find that missing from many reviews when a reviewer says "it fits well and is comfortable". Ideally we'd know your torso length, for that's what actually makes or breaks the fit, but that data might be a bit too intimate.
Cheers !
Hi Kartofff, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As packs go, I have been very happy so far. I am not the tallest of people, any shorter and it would have probably been too long in the back. There are some adjustments that can be made, but unlike some top end hiking packs that have fully adjustable back systems, this is done by taking the waist belt off and moving it to the position that suits :) Thanks again for taking the time, have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Yeah we can see, when you show your profile, that it's pretty much perfect for you, which means it wouldn't be for me (tall guy with a back that needs some care). By "moving the waist belt", I suppose you mean making the choice between crushing the upper abdomen, or crushing upper thigh muscles. But please give an answer to this tiny hope that's left : am I wrong and do you actually mean the waist belt can be moved up and down along the frame a little ?
@@kartofff Hi Kartofff, the waist belt is fitted to the pack in the same way as the pouches are. It is connected with pals and MOLLE webbing, so it can be fully removed. They also make a few different choices of waist belt, so I suppose it was designed this way so that they can be removed and replaced by choice. But the way it is connected means there are couple of different height settings that the belt can be set at. I have it set for the shortest height, then the belt can be lowered again for a taller person. My friend uses one who is just over 6' and it fits him well. If you are unsure I would order one, try it around the home for a while (loaded up) and see how it feels. If it is the wrong size or too uncomfortable then send it back for a refund. I worked in an outdoors shop for a number of years and this was a common thing with people buying online. I will leave a link to Savotta's website. They have a few videos on there about fitting and sizing the pack. It is in Finnish, but I went off what I was watching. finn-savotta.fi/en/products/jaakari-l/ I hope this helps, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Yes indeed that did help a lot. I'd missed the information about the various places you could strap the hip-belt on.
I thank you. I'd like to avoid those trials and errors as much as possible when buying over internet, especially from companies like Varusteleka whose customer service will always go the extra mile : I wouldn't like to stretch them either, for fear of seeing them put on a tougher face.
Besides, it's been refreshing for me to listen to you talking with your scottish twist. I've lived around Aberdeen for three years, and hearing a scotsman talk brings every time fond memories of warm people and amazing light on the land. Cheers ! :)
Hiya mate you've more bags than my ex missus lol. Hope your well pal.
Hi Dave, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Yeah we are all good here thanks :)
I'll be glad when this weather improves though.... its been non stop for days. Just spending it loading a skip up with hedge clippings. So not the best day :( Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
I'm out in it delivering and collecting skips pal rather be anywhere than here. Have fun pal 😁
@@MrRealdealdd You too mate, have a good un...… it will soon be knocking off time :)
just wondering if you know anything about the British army northern Ireland patrol pack..??
Good morning Kevin, I hope you are well mate :) I used to own a 70ltr British army pack a few years ago and that was a great pack. Unfortunately I haven't tried the Northern Ireland patrol pack. I have seen the 30 ltr version which looks like a decent pack. I like the side pockets and like the large pack, the build quality and fabrics are always tough and durable. I was looking at them a the bushcraft show last year and thought about picking one up. Do you recommend them Kevin? Cheers mate, have a great day :)
morning mate thanks for the reply..
I was looking to pick one up today but not sure as the British army 1 I'm looking at has no molle..I'm undecided🤔

-It looks like the snow will stick to the padding fabric. ( Belt, shoulder straps, and back padding). Is that correct? Thats not the best solution for winter.
-Does the belt transfer the weight in a good way? Could it work pulling a pulka/sled?
I hope i explain myself .
Thanks in advance.
Hi CHEMAwaters A, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Unfortunately my pack is at work, whilst I'm at home during the lock down, so I couldn't look at it to answer some of your queries. I will leave you a link to the Savotta website where you will be able to contact their support team. I'm sure they would be able to answer anything you need to know. Sorry to be of little help at the moment, but without the pack in front of me I didn't want to tell you things that may not be true. I hope this helps, all the best, Mark. finn-savotta.fi/en/
Thanks Mark B. for answering , dont worry, just wondering if real users could share their opinion. At your video , when you show the aluminium frame, i can see that the interior side of the seams or stiches, that extra fabric, and it isnt reinforced as the ones of the interior of the lid for example..
I asked Savotta , and it looks like thats the way theyre selling/producing the backpack. No seam or fabric end cut reinforcement on the inside. It would be a quality detail to have that solved as i think..
The other thing, the Molle its sewed on the inside and on the outside on the newest modells as they say. For me its better to have on the inside to be more protected, as older modells use to have.They told me that it has on the inside and outside to reinforce the area...but really necessary?
It would be nice to hear your opinion when possible. Are you happy with the backpack? any issues? Would you recommend the belt as a pulk pulling system on its own?
Again, thanks for taking your time answering and sharing your experience, we apreciate.
@@chemawatersa377 I am glad that you managed to speak to Savotta regarding the queries you had. In general I have been very happy with the pack. It is well thought out and with the extra features that you can buy, you can get it to suit you needs more. I love the roll top design. It means you don't have to make many adjustments to the pack regardless of the amount of gear you have packed. If anything I would of made the shoulder straps slight narrower in the fit. I am not the biggest of people, so it would of suited my build better, but this is just nit picking. As for using the belt for pulk pulling, it isn't something that I am familiar with doing. I know you can change the types of padding on the belt according to their website. But I would hate to say it would be a good option as I don't know. I'm sure it would be strong enough,. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I hope you manage to get sorted my friend. Take care, all the best, Mark :)
You put a lot of weight on the top of the bag,which is not good.If you are going for a hike, you will notice that you will like to have the weight as low as posible. I always put the heavy stuff on the bottom of my backpacks and on the top I only put small things,that will be easier accesible, (sunglasses,bic lighter etc). These Savotta backpacks look really good,thanks for the effort showing us this great backpack.Cheers
Hi Greek Vetran, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Your right, I do tend to pack rucksacks with the heavier items at the bottom. But before filming I had taken items out like the tarp, mat and brew kit etc. so it was a bit mixed up when I pulled the items out. As for the pack, I'm finding it very comfortable. Thanks again and have a great day, all the best, Mark.
Where are you located
Can this pack hold up to 70 lbs comfortably? I’m looking to buy it for hunting? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi Jeremiah, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I would say it would be down to the bulk of the items you want to carry. The pack itself would carry 70 lbs if your kit would fit in the pack. I only tend to carry around 45lb in it and it is usually quite full. The one I use is 40-60 ltr. If I was going to carry more, then the next size up would probably suit better. It is a roll top the same, but the size is 80-100ltr. I will leave you a link to their website and you can compare the two. I hope this helps. Take care, all the best, Mark. finn-savotta.fi/en/products/jaakari-xl/
Mark Bailey thanks for your help! I only carry about 30 liters of gear for day hunts, I wanted about 30 liters Incase I hit a deer to haul meet out, wasn’t sure if this pack could do that weight though. Or should I save a little more money for a mystery ranch?
@@JeremiahWilliams-xc2fi I'm sure the pack itself will handle the weight. There is plenty of padding on the straps and waist belt to help to with the load. They have a few videos on their site showing the load bearing. All of the straps and webbing are well constructed for carrying heavy loads. I have only ever seen the Mystery Ranch packs on line, so I don't really have any experience with them. They look a nice pack. Another good make that makes a lot of hunting packs are Wisport. They make a lot of the Polish armed forces gear. I have a couple of their gun bags and they are excellent quality. They also make a selection of rucksacks with rifle pockets, so it will also hold your rifle when hiking. They could also be worth a look. I hope you manage to find what you need :) All the very best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey thank you for all your info! There are a lot of youtubers that don’t respond to comments, I appreciate that you do!
@@JeremiahWilliams-xc2fi Your welcome my friend. I enjoy the dialogue :) Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Just got my lad Joerobertsslingshots to sub your channel 👍 nice rucksack too 👍
Hi mate, I hope you've had a nice day :) I really appreciate that, thanks. I have just watched your new video, it was really interesting. I have subbed to Joes channel and will get in touch about buying one off him. I do love my slingshots. Them and air rifles go hand in hand for a days fun in the woods. Even if you are just shooting paper targets and spinners. Thanks for watching the video, all the best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey cool thanks Mark he will appreciate the support thanks 👍 catch you soon
@@NorthwalesBushcrafters No problem, thank you for the support you show to me too :) Speak soon mate.
Do you have new video's?
Hi Michael, the last one that I did was a couple of years ago. I keep meaning to start the channel up again, but work gets in the way. Thanks for watching mate.
this is the jakaari m right?
Hi Artic Gator, the pack is the Jaakari L. I think the medium is around 30 litres. Thanks for watching, all the best, Mark :)
What do you think in comparison to the 90ltr UK military sack
Hi Alan, I have only seen the 90ltr on videos. It would be too large for me personally I'm not very big and I think it would drown me lol. I was looking at the Karrimor Sabre 75 which is a popular pack, but then I came across the Jaakari. They make a larger version of this. It is about 90ltrs. But the 40-60 is a good all round pack. If I'm going for a day in winter I can roll it down to the 40 ltr and if more gear is needed I can simply extend it. Plus it has webbing underneath to fasten gear like sleeping bags, and you can add pockets if you want to make it bigger. It isn't cheap. But you can tell how well made they are when you see them close up.
The cheap price (army surplus) and the ability to modify it by moving a few clips (ability to make it smaller) and adding zip on pouches making it up to 90Ltrs is the appeal for me over a new more expensive sack. It’s a difficult choice. Do you believe I’m going to end-up buying something then finding out it’s not quite right? Do you have any gear that is now redundant? Not asking for myself just interested.
What's the dimension of your Canopy in feet
Hi Clay, most of the tarps I use tend to 8ft x 4ft. I do like the 8ft x 6ft but often use the smaller size unless there is a lot of rain forecast.
@Mark Bailey thanks Mark
I watch this video quite a bit, do you hike and camp a lot or do you mostly hike?
You do such a nice presentation on this pack I credit you being the reason I'll buy this pack
And just one more question if you don't mind.
This is the 40 to 60L or the 30L to 50L? I'm talking about the pack in this video.
Ttys
Hope to hear back from you
@@clayguinard3651 Hi Clay, I mainly do more wild camping now that I am getting older. I still love to hike, but mainly do that when I'm working. The pack is the Large version, so it's 40-60 litre. They are a great pack. Not cheap, but it should last a good number of years. Have a great day :)
What language are you speaking?
/jk I'm an American Southerner so I'm sensitive to accents. Spent a summer at Durham University in England -- some of the local accents were quite thick. Loved it.
Hi Michael, I am from a place called Staffordshire. We tend to still use a lot of old English in the dialect. I once read that because the area used to be such a highly skilled area for pottery, that very few outsiders were needed and moved here. So a university did studies about the variants in the accents and speech, and it turned out that due to the lack of influence from the surrounding areas we still use a lot of words that were used hundreds of years ago. It is slowly going out now as a lot of the younger generation don't tend to talk with the local dialect anymore. I think we must be backwards lol. Have a great week, all thee best, Mark.
Mark Bailey Fascinating. I hope we find a way to preserve your dialect and others that seem to be rapidly vanishing.
