Bushcraft Backpacking - New Pack and Gear Loadout

[@scootmando]

I knew there was a reason I haven't picked up a good pack yet. Thanks for sharing with us and ripping apart your pack in the middle of the bush.

[@gewamser]

Joe, when it comes to woodland backpacking you rule!

[@superdave54811]

Joe, Excuse the picture and name, I changed it for good reason. I"m David Gardner and we have spoke in the past. I want to suggest a rebuild on the pack. The bottle holder flap should be sewn into an upside down cup to cover the pocket better. More like the older U.S. military ALICE pack. I am sure that you would appreciate that design a bit better. It helps keep it dry and also keeps out any debris when hiking through thicker brush. I almost forgot......it should also have cinch cords for the opening of that kind of pouch. And finally, drain hole grommets in the bottom of the pouch helps also. Cheers buddy. I love your vids and will continue to watch and have fun. Thanks for being such an awesome KZbinr.

[@WaxyClockwork]

Sweet pack like all the well thought out pockets and clasps!

[@danem.9571]

Sweet pack man! Hope you enjoyed your hike.

[@eric.c.bullock]

Call it the JoeB. Suggestions: 'canter'/tilt the large side bags slightly forward so you can use them while hiking; and add little belt pouches for snacks, mini-first aid, or fishing kit.

[@bushcraftcambridge5086]

There is def some serious planning and thought in the design and use of usable space. A+ for the large "bottle pockets" as well. I've modded my maxpedition bottle carrier and pained over the tight quarters myself. I can see right away this design would work well. I'm gonna check out some of their other gear as well. I like me some centre zip pouches. Thanks to both of you for what looks like a new kid on the block in packs.

[@bushcraftcambridge5086]

I had a quick peek at their items up. There's a few great features I spotted immediately. 1) design your own! That's pretty neat! And the clip on the saddle roll. Instead of Velcro. To name a couple. And Canadian !! Something I can pay for in Canadian dollars and likely go and pick up when it's ready. Very cool. Thanks. Chris.

[@josephallen19]

+Bushcraftcambridge glad to hear that, buddy :)

[@_Skunkfoot_]

Looks great man! Really glad y'all are doing this. It's much better to have gear designed by people who actually do this stuff all the time than someone who sits behind a desk thinking up theoretical designs. The only thing I would change is the flaps on the top - I'd rather have a drawstring opening, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means.

[@Bhans99]

Joe, this pack is fantastic!! Fair play to the company. I am normally very biased to British made kit, but I cannot wait to order one of these.

[@Bhans99]

the main thing that is been annoying me whilst carrying an axe around the forest is that you can either strap it onto your belt (which is annoying when you want to sit or crouch) or take your backpack off to strap it on / put it in there. Can you put the axe back into its holder without taking the backpack off? If not, might be an idea to ask the company if they can possibly do that?

[@josephallen19]

+Charlie J for sure something to look in to, thanks!

[@myrkvir5606]

The bag looks class! you're gonna have to call it the ' Scout' I think dude. As always great video!

[@woodsmanjohn]

Looks like a solid pack .. Nice kit Joe

[@craigpierre2765]

Awesome pack..definitely a lot of thought went into it. I especially like the side pouches that will fit a nalgene.. nothing worse than having a bottle full of water swaying around when you are walking.. The strap keepers are super. The slip pockets in behind the side pockets are fantastic. you can haul anything in there... if you want to take a tripod, or a fishing rod etc..it will fit nicely...very versatile. hey there is a name for you YNOT Versa!!!! or Versabush!! Keep the videos coming

[@Seanoakwolf]

Good Design back pack. Love the axe holder behind the side pockets.. They should name it the "The Bear"

[@MDKDAF]

Very impressive that the twig stove fits on the side pocket! Looking forward to the kickstarter.

[@dustindewind3210]

Great looking "Scout Expedition"pack! Can't wait for trip video.Looks like that sitting/kneeling pad pocket would double perfectly as map pocket also. You did great job planning out that pack, props to you bud, but I would expect no less from a woodsman like you. Thanks bud. Keep doin what you do !

[@josephallen19]

+Dustin DeWind ya, thats a great idea for the map!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice pack. Lots of good ideas. Take care, Al

[@johnathonayles1114]

Designing backpacks, as well as knives. Things are really coming along for you my friend way to go. Cheers John

[@josephallen19]

+Johnathon Ayles thans buddy :)

[@NorwegianWoods]

That looks like some good gear :) Thanks for sharing - Martin

[@sameold77]

Looks like a very functional backpack. I like the added designs. Looking forward to future reviews and info on it.

[@xnbomb]

With the side pouches on, the profile reminds me of the Becker Patrol Pack, which is viewed by many as a great, classic pack.

[@panzerabwerkanone]

Joe I think a roll top closure under the top flap would be better for a bushcraft pack. Make it more weatherproof if you decide to secure gear under just the top flap (like a quick access poncho/raingear) without breaking the weather sealed main bag.

[@Wimpoman]

Get well or weller, Joe. 😉 It's nice that Tony modified a backpack based on your feedback.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Great looking pack, Joe! Thanks for sharing on your load out, too. I always tend to over pack and watching you and others who have extensive bush craft experience is helping me adjust from trekking to bush craft camping. At 71, this is more my style now as my legs and lung capacity have changed considerably. I viewed the YNOT website and for the price for the entire package isn't bad, I'll have to add those two organizer bags as well.

[@TeacherSBD]

Thanks for that word about Ynot, I didn't know we can buy gear that great made here in Canada!

[@isaacsipe8264]

I want it today. I'll be impatiently looking forward to this. Just recently got my hands on a small axe due to your inspiration. Thanks for the dedication and hard work.

[@josephallen19]

+Isaac Sipe thanks buddy :)

[@jkhotshotllc1]

Great looking pack. Practical and functional. Very well designed.

[@DerangedSurvival]

Awesome pack, very versatile. But pad pocket is a must haha.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great video and great looking pack. I am not sure if you are supposed to come up with the name, but I have a suggestion. The pack seems to be hearty and a great companion, so maybe call it "the Scout". Just a suggestion...

[@danhunley1693]

Nice setup. Excited to see the next videos

[@teddywenner2976]

YNOT is TONY backwards

[@derrickfelix503]

Liked the strip out and clear description of what. But did all the gear go back! Look forward to the seasons trips/ adventures ,keep them coming Cheers.

[@karlkaiser7803]

hey joe, the lil bushcraft bag that could in the woods.

[@matthewmerchand7746]

Awesome! Looks like a great pack. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@josephallen19]

+Matthew Merchand great to hear!

[@EspoDesk]

Another thought was a Velcro or zippered panel integrated with the under carry system. This would provide an even quicker and cleaner means of stowing the straps while also providing a pass through tuck away for an extra layer or wet items when you aren't out overnight. I feel like the zippered option would be more robust and better in terms of longevity. If I haven't described this well enough to visualize let me know and I'll make a sketch for you.

[@dryocum]

Nice! One idea though.. Maybe some kind of pockets on the flaps on top to hold your misc stuff like batteries etc. then you can do away with a few loose misc bags.. Just an idea?

[@paulnoble5610]

GREAT VID JOE HAVE JUST GOT INTO CAMPING AND BUSHCRAFT AND LOVE YOUR VIDS LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION KEEP THEM COMING

[@Forestwalker111]

Awesome looking pack. Love the bottom straps! Really love those side pouches. Snowpeak 900 baby!!!! Considering you and how far you range for outings....,you should call it "Nomad" Great video, looking forward to more on this. Be well brother Craig

[@josephallen19]

+Forestwalker111 thanks buddy.

[@Greybeard1357]

Thanks for another great video Joe. Best wishes for success on the new pack design. When it's available I wanna get one.

[@captbizzarro3141]

Great looking pack indeed. Only minor concern is that I noticed it appears to be all single stitched as opposed to double stitched. Can't wait to see more on this pack. Thanks Joe.

[@DerTintinfish]

Think I've already said this, but the intro is AWESOME!

[@josephallen19]

+Capn Heebes thanks!

[@rolandsilva9743]

Really excited to see this come out. I have the karrimor sabre 45 sf with side pouches which I consider to be a 3-5 day summer pack so this would fill that sweet spot for a lighter smaller yet very versatile Bushcrafter pack Great job. I vote to call it the jrb scout pack too

[@josephallen19]

+Roland Silva thanks buddy :)

[@1wetpaint]

Very nice pack. I did not notice help belt pockets which I would want. Good video and thanks for posting.

[@valeriew711]

Looks like a great Great bag Joe

[@rob.b3293]

Hey Joe that pack is awesome. liking foreword to the rest of the review on it. great channel thanks

[@josephallen19]

+Robert Briscoe thanks!

[@Wingman115]

Good stuff brother! I'm really interested in you new pack. I love the features that you displayed.

[@josephallen19]

+Wingman115 Glad to hear that from you, buddy :)

[@jamestaylor9774]

Great pack Joe looks ideal ATB James

[@scottreece6116]

that's sleek and clean pack. I like it.

[@toddcorley464]

On the inside of the top of the liner maybe you could ask them put put a water proof clear map holder with a compass attached. That could come in handy.

[@Shanecoffeyoutdoors]

Looking forward to the pack dude! Great load out and loving the Big Agnes UL

[@feellnfroggy]

Corners are a weak spot for de threading, Maybe rounded flaps for the Nalgene covers. And the side cinch straps are awesome, not enough bags with those, great for not only an axe, but a smallish .22 carry.

[@thebmac]

looks good! i'm with others on including the scout name in to the pack

[@goldenweapon]

Been looking for a good day hike bag. I think I will wait around for this one to come out!

[@SnowyOwlPrepper]

I like it. Love the top flaps and laser cut Mollie. I would not carry the sleeping bag on the bottom however.

[@josephallen19]

+Snowy Owl I hear ya.

[@timsbushcraftandoutdoors7634]

What a great pack Joe! I wouldn't mind having one myself, can't wait until the next vid, Thumbs Up …Thanks for sharing…ATB, Tim

[@oscarmarulanda9021]

Amazing pack! Great color! One suggestion, how about more leather to give it that bushcraft-vintage looking?

[@sarahburke8955]

That's a great looking pack, love the features you chose!

[@paintur68]

This little cutie hit 18 and never aged a day since. :-D

[@CedricAda]

super versatile pack. the extra space for bottles and kits on the sides is excellent

[@josephallen19]

+CedricAda Gear and Outdoors I thought so too!

[@rhgv19]

Joe Robinet does your military style titanium canteen fit in side pocket?

[@sheeplord4976]

Is the skycrane a better pack, or is your pack just good for its price/ size.

[@dsoutdoors]

"Bushcraft Buddy"! Great video, awesome gear

[@bernardoh90]

The past 3 days I have been searching for a bushcraft backpack that was medium sized and from the looks of it that fits my criteria. You have no idea based on the features you have shown so far on the pack they fit the very much specific features I've been looking for in a pack. Specifically axe placement side pouch sizes and a what looks to appear to be a very nice hip belt. I can't wait to see the final production of this pack

[@josephallen19]

+bernardo ruiz very pleased to hear that. I will have more info for you and everyone ASAP

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

those side pockets should fit canteen kits pretty easily. nice

[@scottcharlton77]

You need to call it The Scout!

[@agm4c]

Love this product Joe, please keep us updated on price.

[@josephallen19]

+Andrew MacDonald will do!

[@cliffordwright3441]

Great looking pack joe. A lot of thought went into it. Count me in to get one!

[@josephallen19]

+Clifford Wright will do!, thanks buddy:)

[@michaelpulcini]

+Clifford Wright I would definitely be in to get one of these too.

[@josephallen19]

+Michael Pulcini heck ya!

[@morgan_morris1997]

+JoeRobinetBushcraft Maybe name it after Scout? Since your logo and most of your videos revolve around him, being such a badass dog as he is, why not call it the Scout Backpack or something a tad more elaborate?

[@caljim1950]

Nice product Joe!

[@X_explorer]

Fantastic video! I like observing earth, discover and calm down...

[@Zedoutdoors]

Looking good JR looking good ...bags not bad either ~Peace~

[@bushman4124]

nice jobb on the design, love the backpack

[@oldntatted]

The "Scout about" pack sounds nice...

[@3dbully]

Love the design of the pack, but i would like to see a longer version(Main Compartment) that would allow you to put a sleeping bag in a dry compression bag sideways at the bottom inside of the main compartment, that can be also be removed from the bottom outside of the pack (Via A Zip), and on the inside of the pack some more pack material stitched to the front inside with clips and straps on the opposite side (For Adjustment/Cinching) to compartmentalize the sleeping bag from the rest of the main compartment, thus enabling you to remove said sleeping bag and the material pack divider keeping the rest of your pack items secured above due to resting on top of the material divider. The reason for this is a sleeping bag attached to the outside of a bush pack, can suffer serious damage and ruin your trip. I would buy a longer version for sure, and if the above modification was added, it would make it one of the best bushcraft pack's out there, as i've been searching for a decent bush pack that meets all the right requirements.

[@QuickhatchKnives1]

Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffbaeder4858]

It should obviously should be named Scout. Thanks Joe!

[@JamieKrause86]

Wow that is a sweet pack!

[@BarnabasJB]

I like most , feel pretty good about the products you endorse man. Without a doubt it's a nice pack! Keep it up dude !

[@jamesbell2158]

great looking pack. can't wait to purchase one. if it's good enough for an over nighter for you then I'm going to be in line for one as well. God bless !!

[@josephallen19]

+James Bell Thanks!

[@rtydingco]

Hi Joe, I really like your channel. Have you ever thought about doing some of your bushcraft / Backpacking adventures in the Canadian Rockies. They are so beautiful !!

[@josephallen19]

+rtydingco I'd love to...maybe next year I can get out there.

[@sb2261]

Love the pack. Malcolm's got a big pack coming out. Hope it has similar features. Will check out this company for sure.

[@warboar436]

I live in Ontario. l'm pumped to get one.

[@xrayguy7523]

I really enjoy your channel and easy going style. That said, I ain't payin' that much for a bag. Ever.

[@johnklein9860]

Looks good Joe

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am excited to hear about a Canadian gear maker. Will be looking forward to seeing more. On a different train of thought. I don't recall you ever talking about what you pack for first aid

[@josephallen19]

+Mark Young (Shunpyke) you are right, it is because my F.A.K is very simple, some bandaids, gauze, duct tape, antibiotic cream and pain killers, it all fits in a tiny plastic bag

[@jasperkemp6876]

he should call it that , its a great name

[@apag3492]

very nice Joe. I am very interested in this pack. looking forward to the next one...

[@josephallen19]

+A Pag great to hear!

[@FoxHoundFilms]

AWESOME Bag!

[@strykerhalo]

Great gear setup. I really like the enlightened equipment down quilts, amazing. Check it out. You wont regret it, superlight weight, warm, soft, freedom of movement unlike the mummy bags. Where is your nomad 10 solar charger? Lol

[@brucetheriault6780]

That's an exciting pack. I want 1.

[@josephallen19]

+Bruce Theriault For sure!

[@coryboyd7958]

good stuff Joe.

[@bark3rISgod]

That pack is really cool. I just checked out their site and I love the options for customizing packs. Good stuff brother

[@josephallen19]

+PapaTango Bravo very cool!

Have you ever thought about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or Appalachian Trail? A long trip (even if only part of the trail is covered) would really step up your channel. If you do, get your dog a backpack.

[@dethbell08]

The from what I hear the PCT would be a crazy trip down to the point where you have to send your food to different cities thru out the trip and send hiking boots to the cities because you wear thru them. Would be cool

[@BushOgre]

I like that pack a hell of a lot. Simple but very effective use of space. No real "dead zones" as I call them. Places on a bag that have no function. I wonder if you could get additional straps on top and on bottom? I'm a big guy and when it's cold, I have a large -20f° bag. I would like to strap that to bottom and my multilayer coat to the top. Even without the additional straps, this is a great design. Kudos to you and YNOT. Will definitely check out the Kickstarter. As far as a name goes...something simple suck as BushScout. The bag much like Scout are simple, look good in the woods and can save your ass. Keep it up. Big fan of the channel and your hard work and skills.

[@josephallen19]

+Jonathan Zook thanks! :)

[@crazynotstupid2784]

May be some molle on the top to tie a poncho/tarp for an easy grab in the rain?

[@Forestwalker111]

I really like this video bro. I keep watching it. Lol I'm going to help with the Kickstarter on this pack, to support and to get one of these. It's great. Can't wait for your full review. And one day to do a meetup if you're interested. Ontario boys unite! Lol

[@josephallen19]

+Forestwalker111 sounds good, buddy :)

[@kadenpoutous4995]

Name it the "scout" bushcraft pack for the lightweight pack and the beautiful Shepard tnx for the vid joe

[@Useaname]

I started watching this and thought, how refreshing for someone to go straight into their bushcrafting/hiking/camping video without yet another guitar plucking intro. Then.......... However, great video.

[@John-hp7tz]

Love the design of the Wildland, not so crazy about the materials. Bomb proof but a bit of an overkill for most backpackers/Bushcrafters. You could reduce weight and cost by replacing fabric with something lighter. 3/4 " straps and buckles could also work. I'd also find a distributer in the USA to work with you & the ynot folks.

[@barryhugo]

Very nice backpack. The only thing I don't like is the sleeping bag strapped to it. I have tried that in the past with terrible results(waterproof bag ripped, ruined sleeping bag and it got wet, cold wet nights suck), I prefer the sleeping bag more protected,

[@josephallen19]

+Barry Hugo I hear ya.

[@waynekirkslope]

Canadian made pack how sweet is that. I use both the 5-11 72 hour rush bag and a Condor elite both good but would love to support a Canadian company. I can think of no better name then Scout Pack with your logo.

[@josephallen19]

+Sask Prepper Ya, that seems to be a popular name....maybe.

[@TheMountainRambler]

Very nice backpack!

[@karlkaiser7803]

I ment to tell you instead of a thermarest, I use a windshield shade, and my tent bag I use for a pillow

[@2014WMBinc]

The "JoRo" And then do smaller and larger versions aka JoRo mini JoRo mega etc Great pack btw

[@JP-in-OH]

I think JoRo is a killer name for the pack!

[@2014WMBinc]

+Jason Parrish thanks I really like this bag

[@newdroidexp]

+Jason Parrish I second that! "JoRo"

[@JP-in-OH]

+Wetland Mariachi Band Inc I think this is an awesome pack too. I'll be first in line for the JoRo.

[@joelbenoitthewanderingbiso4976]

+Wetland Mariachi Band Inc Maybe the one with the Scout logo, could be the JoRo Scout, anyway I like JoRo.

[@WoWdespair]

oh and I want a this bag! will try and scrape some cash for it! just hope you can send to UK. great work
