3 Minutes to Better Gear x 2: The Fjallraven Stubben Pack

[@keithorbell8946]

I love my Stubben, I’ve used it as my office briefcase, as a pack with bits and pieces like water bottles, mouth guards, warm clothes etc. when watching my daughters play rugby, plus a couple of other bits because I’m one of the coaches. Oh, and I’ve used it as my Bushcraft daysac. Love it, it’s heavy but sits on my back so comfortably.

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Had one for over a year now can’t fault it 👌👍

[@SnowyAspenHills]

I realise this video is 3 years old but I have just purchased this pack in the UK and it’s a lovely piece of kit. This is a version 2 with some minor revisions not all good but it’s still a great bag. I have purchased this bag mainly as a commuter bag as I need to Carry a change of clothes food for the day and other bits and pieces. Often I can’t get a seat on the London tube and this will give me a chance to rest after a hard days graft mainly on my feet. There are now smaller what I would call bottle bags as well as the large side pouches available, bottle bags being a great for commuting. Apart from using the bag as seat the fact it will stand on its own and not topple over is a great feature when working in less than favourable environments. I can’t prove if it’s true or not but I was told some special UK Police units use these so they can stand on them to see over tall obstacles and other tactical reasons.

[@SwampValley]

Never seen a bag like that before, great for a day out in the woods. All the best. Skye.

[@ivantavares2524]

Another great feature/hack - you can slide an axe securely in between the pack and the optional side pouches. The side handles support the weight of the pack as opposed to the pouch itself.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Very nice pack. You get what you pay for. I like it!

[@colliedogjoy]

Love mine, always take it hunting.

[@BackGardenBushcraft]

Great kit love my Stubben

[@riverstick8895]

Cool pack the price is totally ridiculous though

[@demonshiro]

Swedish quality costs my dude. Though here in Sweden Fjällräven isn't really considered to be heavy duty outer wear, it's more of a hiking kind of equipment.

[@faithfulchica1861]

@@demonshiro So, then, name a brand that you would consider more heavy duty.

[@Rumblestrip]

Thanks Dan

[@johnmbrown6627]

I took this pack Alaska. For it to fit in the overhead, I had to remove the side pouches. Other than that, they don't come off

[@t.bonasia3477]

Ppl shouldn't complain about the price on Fjällräven products. Fjällräven is a Swedish brand from northern Sweden (Örnsköldsvik) and been adapted to our seasons especially the winter. I grew up close to this city and been using Fjällräven products. The most important thing I can say, if you choose to invest in an "expensive" Fjällräven product, you will be guaranteed having this product for a long time. For example I now been using my Fjällräven jackets many years, i had one now for 10 years, bought it in 2008! Compare that thought to another brand, you might have to buy a new jacket every 3 years. I prefer the g-1000 material products from Fjällräven because its extremely durable.

[@knyazhefilms2154]

I bought one of Fjällräven rucksacks and the color went off very quickly. Too quickly I would say. I bought black one and now it's gray/dirty gray. I do not know if it qualifies for failure but for the rucksack that has compartments for computer it should preserve the color and some degree of style isn't it? At least I was expecting that from the brand that cares about high standard. It lost color and look in one year and it was meant to be used in travel/city/hike situations. I keep asking myself where is this durability you've mentioned. What do you say ?

[@swedish_woodsman7153]

Sweden outdoor gear! Probably best in the world 🇸🇪🌲👍

[@grimreaper6557]

great item thanks for the video

[@VinceR3000]

I have one, and used it on several trips. My verdict is I love the seat, I love how organized it is. The loops on the side are to put an axe in which falls between the side pouch and the pack, and that's how I carry it. It fits my tarp, basic cooking gear, clothes, tools, enough for either two-three day trips or longer (depending on how basic you go). My only negative with it is the lack of loops, to fit a sleeping bag or blanket on top or at the bottom easily. I solved this myself but it's something to look at. It seems more designed for day trips out of a hunting cabin. But it works for me, and I wouldn't change it back for anything else. It fits my 40-60 liter backpack very nicely.

[@PatrickDustman]

Good video, love that SurvivalAustria

[@3rednecknittygritty933]

If your in the market for some certain outdoors item in general...fjallraven is ALWAYS worth it! Little expensive bit like anything for outdoors...ya get what ya pay for! Great quality and features in all their stuff,durable and will last forever!...why Russian special forces took their idea for anorak jacket and made the Gorka long ago...I own their pants and outdoors shirts

[@SonsOfLorgar]

And they go great with an m/96 6.5mm Swedish Mauser for hunting elk and other big deer ;)

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Nice lookin bag!

[@mrwes100]

Thanks for sharing. I just went with a new Karrimor Sabre 45 w/ the PLCE pouches and yoke.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Any gear with the Fjallraven name on it is going to be expensive. Fjallraven or "arctic fox" makes incredible outdoor clothes and I love the Barent pants. I have a pair that is going on five years of rigorous use and still look like new; and they are water resistant and almost impervious to abrasions.

[@MostWantedOHA]

Nice pack thanks Dan, hmmmm .... where's the OTHER one. Kinda miss him , always been different seeing you 2 s together . Please let him know he's missed . Another peices of strong work , 2 thumbs up !!! %

[@johnmbrown6627]

I wish it had a waistbelt. Add a poncho. Just put it on, sit on the pack and wait out the weather

[@Wylder955]

You can get a Ray Mears Leaf Cutter Rucksack with the side pouches for give or take 200$ but you will have to sit on a log or the ground and spend the rest of your 100 or so bucks on other more important gear.

[@321berber]

If you want to carry an 58 litres backpack as a daypack thats an option. If you think 58 litres is a bit on the large side you might prefer the stubben ;)

[@Wylder955]

My goldilocks size is about 45l and having a little extra space is better for me than having to cram everything inside or turning the pack into a strapmaster 2000 with gear hanging on the outside.

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing !

[@TheAirlock]

Great quality. Expensive because it's not made in a third world country using slave labor and less than bombproof material. It's so well made that you can attach the 20L Singi on the back to almost double the capacity using small S-biners to hook both rows of loops together and use it for tarps and lighter items. No worry about those loops failing.

[@bigracer3867]

Cool, probably wont hold me up though when sitting. I am a large Viking. I just broke another chair yesterday. I will just use the ground. Thx for the vid!

[@graemeelliott4147]

I use mine for river fishing. Great pack...and much cheaper than a Filson.

[@juliebaker6969]

One point you neglected to mention was how much weight does the seat safely hold. The men in my family are built like linebackers. They are tall and heavily muscled, DEFINITELY not light weights.

[@juliebaker6969]

@Eric Ocasio if that's the case my my husband has about 30 lbs. on him and my son closer to 75. I mean like Wreck it Ralph big.

[@juliebaker6969]

[@hervezaragoza5321]

Very high quality but really too expensive for me (same for Frost River). The state of mind that governs bushcraft prohibits me from using them.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Yeah, the weird thing is that it's almost as expensive here in Sweden at 3'397SEK=378.512USD for the pack (2'599SEK) plus two side pockets (2×399SEK)

[@hervezaragoza5321]

It seems that their products are guaranteed for life, which I easily believe given the quality of the materials and the degree of finish. I would say that there is also in these prices a great deal of dream and legend... and that's what many people like... / Best regards

[@colliedogjoy]

I took the frame out of mine the other day. The quality is there all over the pack. You can see where they spend the money. I work in an outdoor shop and we have around 50 packs on display. None come close. I figure, buy once, cry once. I admit, I've drunk the coolaid, but every time I take this pack out - or their other gear, I know it won't come to any harm - it will all outlive me. I have started hunting for sec and hand stuff and recently scored a beautiful jacket from Lithuania on eBay - £24 plus postage - utter bargain!

[@eekmeout]

some people will always be cheap asses. easy come easy go is what i say, enjoy yourself. i’m sure the bushcraft gods won’t hate you because you have a well made pack.

[@Bald_Monkey]

Cubic inches - you guys actually do that, when measuring the volume of backpacks?

[@thelifeofjools8384]

If you remove the frame, and the wood seat section, you can lose 2lb/1kg of weight...and the bag still sits upright, which I love. It becomes a lightweight pack, since fjallraven went carefully on weight when they designed it.If you remove the frame, and the wood seat section, you can lose 2lb/1kg of weight...and the bag still sits upright, which I love.

Would those people saying that its too expensive buy other packs that you can't sit on? Take for example some of the packs form Ebberlie Stock. Some of their packs go for that much and more. Yet I've seen them being used by people here on youtube. Btw, you didn't mention what its weight load was, that should've been something you mentioned.

[@JohnMc4578]
