Fjällräven Stubben • Backpack & Stool Combo | Field Review

*Available in HD - Krik of Black Owl Outdoors takes a look at the Fjällräven Stubben, a backpack with classic styling and built in stool. We were contacted by Fjällräven US and asked if we would take a look at the pack and give our thoughts and impressions. Despite it seeming like a novelty, the pack offers a surprising amount of versatility and always is manufactured to Fjällräven's exacting standards.

I really appreciate the comment that it's not a recommendation simply a review to allow us to make an informed decision. Nice presentation and another subscriber. Thanks

[@notafan1275]

Very good review! By good I mean you show the product so well that we can really see whether it's something we might want - which is the reason why I watch reviews. Thank you!

[@lachlanmaple4868]

I recently purchased this pack and absolutely love it. All Fjallraven gear is very well built. The pack will last many years and looks so good. Expensive but well worth the money!

[@genegarren833]

Some very unique and the frame/seat concept is very useful. I also like the optional side pockets, and the ax supporting strap. Side pockets always add tremendous capability. Keeping the frame in the pack only makes good common sense. Great pack for sure!👍👍🙂🙂🙂

[@peterham7130]

Sir, you are the first person that could persuade me to buy every bag you review. Thanks for such quality vids and an outstanding outdoor aesthetic.

[@BlackOwlOutdoors]

That's not my intention at all! I don't care if you buy the items I review, I just want to give informed and honest reviews!

[@WakuahOutdoors]

Great concept having a bag that doubles as a seat. Much easier than looking for a semi flat rock or stump.

[@FbtGl]

Dear Krik. Thank you for elaborating on the frame in the review. Meanwhile I got myself a Stubben too and tried again to remove the frame. I got one step further than the last time I tried it but gave up at some time because - you say it right - the real point of this backpack is the frame! : ) Thank you for your reviews and all other videos, they are inspiring! FabianMB

[@stonemarten1400]

I have one of these Stubben packs with the pockets and it's absolutely brilliant. When I went bear and wolf watching in Sweden, the forest guides all had these rucksacks donated by Fjallraven, which were great to sit-on while brewing-up in the wilderness. Be advised that it is quite heavy though, but not so bad for me, as I'm relatively robust.

[@maysdogus]

Never seen one with a frame you can sit on, very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@amgolfer3591]

Thanks Krik.....I was looking forward to your thoughts regarding the Stubben pack. This is a great rucksack IMO. I use if for specific hikes and it's worked out wonderfully. The old school look/aesthetics are simply amazing. I rides really well, and I hardly notice the few extra pounds because of the internal frame. I carry more of my bushcraft items in it for day hikes and it's great as noted above. Love the sitting option as well. I was able to get mine on sale for $180 and found the two side pockets for $26. It was well worth it.......I also own other things, mostly clothing, from Fjallraven and love their gear. You get what you pay for and I am a Fjallraven fan for life--I definitely have to save as it's pricey, but that's okay.......Thanks again Krik......Oh, will you be keeping your Stubben? Just curious.

[@jonashanna6434]

Hey Shane, where did you find it on sale?

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Yes where did you find it for that price$?

[@ryanweeks287]

Where did you get it for 180?

[@Menkalo]

*Before recording* “I’m so sick of this flying ant” *tears wings off ant, then starts filming at **0:15*

[@flindersadventures]

My buddy has one and it definitely is a cool design. I like how the rain cover has the design of a stump to match its name

[@mikemorton0]

Must be a cool guy

[@flindersadventures]

Mike Morton he thinks so 😂

[@jmvreest]

fjallraven appears to have hit it out of the park on this in my opinion.. really dig this pack.. nice vid fellas

[@lbhunter6341]

Great pack...I own one and love it for all the qualities you've illuminated.

[@craigmitchell5837]

Man too cool to see this review, I bought one the moment i saw it visiting Sweden last summer. I use it for wildlife photography and the seat with the side zips are a real delight. Thanks for the reviews I'm sure I will get another model too. Peace

[@RottenMechGaming]

I own one of these and love it. The seat gets used out on walks and also in airports when I can’t find a space.

[@sarahburke8955]

Black Owl Outdoors You failed to mention that the chest strap buckle is also an emergency whistle! I got my pack yesterday, and it's even better than I expected :D

[@dwb2112]

Krik and stony thanks for a good and balanced product review video. The pack is a little out of my price range. Not to mention I recently won a Condor Elite pack from a cool You Tube channel. Thanks Black Owl!

[@astrazenica7783]

Cool, I've been quite tempted to try one of those. Just the cheap fishing versions. Under $50. Maybe not best for long treks but good for fishermen or the elderly, disabled etc who need lots of breaks, take a load off

[@dougLinker]

Love that pack!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

I love their gear and may one day get to purchase one. Thanks for the review!

[@RobFarrell17]

Cool concept. Great review as always. Happy New Year!

[@huckhuckhuck]

Can we just talk about how that ant shed it's wings and how stony caught it on film? Insane.

[@irfanahmed9112]

Stuff quality look good

[@kennykamensky993]

Nice pack a lot of money

[@mikemorton0]

I have had this bag close on a year now, I have taken the frame out but its kind of a pain in the but, and as you said the major selling feature is the built in seat

[@TheAnnoyingThingOutdoors1]

If you noticed the pattern of the seat cover (not the logo though) you will understand what stubbe means. Yes, what's left in the ground after cutting down a tree, the stump. (In case you wondered)

[@sarahburke8955]

Wow, I thought they just did the faux bois pattern for looks- this adds another layer of cool to the bag :D

[@grantcook5376]

Great review great backpack.

[@randomerik]

Hi, I have this backpack and in Europe it is used for hunting. I used it last weekend and it is worth the money in my opinion as I am willing to spend money on hunting gear and Fjällräven, but everybody can decide if it's necessary to buy expensive but good stuff or not.. Best regards Robert

[@leendertvanderwiel8421]

The rucksack is made for fishing, bird spotting and hunting. I think the colar orange inside can be used as a signal?

[@irfanahmed9112]

Are all ur personal bags or just advertising?

[@bosse641]

Very clever. .....nice.

[@MCMOutdoors]

What a great pack - and review 👍

[@camillethionville1660]

What other bags do they offer that you can attach the side pockets? I love that

[@RaindanceBushcraft]

Man, I love that pack.

[@jrichardson6]

Great pack is that a fjallraven shirt too I like it!

[@CaptTrips19]

Be great to see how it carries...

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

At 07:14 you say “for posterity”. What did you mean by that? You said it as you were demonstrating a zipper.

[@BorealSelfReliance]

Great camera work, as always :)

[@georgegonzalez-rivas3787]

What's the weight limit on the sitting?

[@jkulrty]

Hi, can you attach a wool blanket on it somehow?

[@brian_ward_outdoors]

I love Fjallraven's stuff. That pack looks awesome. Shame I can't justify the cash at the moment.

[@modestadventurers]

Interesting pack. Thanks for reviewing Atb.

[@terryjones8588]

Nice pack. Good review.

[@hohoc5800]

between the stubben and helag which one do u preferred

[@muhammadichsan5917]

thanks your upload this video and I like your backpack really cool

[@madcat1007]

Can you attach a hip belt??

[@mattsitsback]

Love the video along with your forest wear, what brand of shirt/trouser?

[@dannyschritz1281]

Me too! 😍

[@Shadow1776]

I'm considering this backpack but is there enough space for winter overnighters. eg: Sleeping bag, one man tent , food and clothing?

[@swedish_woodsman7153]

No its not! 🌲

[@christianb8228]

Stevie Ramone sleeping bag and tarp or hammock but not a tent

[@jkulrty]

Do you think its possible te add a blanket at the bottom (or other place)?

[@jameshinrichsen9238]

Nice video! I would get this but I have a Kathmandu pack and it's awesome the only reason I would get this is probably for the aesthetics .

[@LysanderLH]

How does this compare with the Frost River Isle Royale Jr?

[@christinakellis1155]

Hows that backpack holding up since the review?

[@BlackCountryWoodsman]

lovely pack...Thanks for the cool vid Atb Mike

[@SirShakeJunt]

Is this backpack even available anymore? Looks like I found this video too late as I'm currently searching for a new bushcraft pack. I can't find it available online ANYWHERE. Thanks!

[@BlackOwlOutdoors]

Not available at the moment. But we are actually selling ours. Contact me if you’re interested in purchasing it!

[@lyricd]

@@BlackOwlOutdoors I am interested. I contacted you on Instagram. Let me know if it is still available?

[@ikaletralleg]

Awesome video as always, but i couldn't help but notice your shirt. Look like its made of wool. (my favorite material) I was curious as to who makes it

[@stonemarten1400]

You're right, let's get back to wool, natural fabric with fine qualities for the outdoorsman; I would never be without my traditional New Zealand Swanndri, woollen bush and ranger shirts.

[@ikaletralleg]

I absolutely love wool! its the best outdoor material there is!

[@ilonggoeasyrider2178]

I really want that bag. We always travel around the city and sometimes its hard to find something that you can sit on. With that, problem solved.

[@kennethcaloun5138]

NICE VIDEO THANKS FRIEND

[@DaengSurrewong]

It´a great hunting back pack. Expensive as coitus but can handle my 220+ pounds or 100kg+ clothes. I never even thought about this back pack for anytning else than a thermos, sandwiches, map and extra clothing carrier. For me it seems a bit small for my sholder with. I´m 6,2+ inches or 191cm, not that fat.

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi thanks for the review. I did not hear how much weight the chair is good for. Brian 76

[@smprfly]

Great channel.

[@Wanderer-l9h]

Compared to a Frost River?

[@ianofliverpool7701]

Just exactly what I need because of my disabilities.

[@EakanGopalakrishnan]

how heavy is the bag?

[@gas-gabbe415]

Stouben 😂😂 sounds Funny when your swedish and Know how Its suposed to sound.

[@sarahburke8955]

Is is pronounced more like shtubben? i was wondering ;)

[@TheKimjoh560]

Sarah Woodruff Pronouncing like you'd think is pretty close actually. I cant think of a single word in english with a component that is pronounced like the "U" is pronounced quite like in "Stubben". I guess "Stybben" or "Stouben" could pass as some dialect :P

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

TheKimjoh560 those two words are pronounced completely different from one another so I’m trying to figure out what you are trying to say. Can you type it out phonetically please?

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

gas-gabbe how is it pronounced?

[@Menkalo]

Prepperjon The letter “u” in “Stubben” would be pronounced with a sound you can almost imitate by mixing the English “Y” and “O”, letting them meet in the middle. In Scandinavia, however, a vowel followed by _double_ consonants is pronounced almost as if it gets interrupted by the consonant, compared to English where most vowels are ‘stretched’ when spoken. Almost as if you would pronounce “Club” in English.

[@SkogfarNo]

How much weight does the seat hold?

[@FbtGl]

Salespeople in their Stockholm flagshipstore said about 150 kg, so approx. 330 lbs. Cheers!

[@SkogfarNo]

Sweet! I weigh 105 kg in the buff, so I can use this :)

[@Captjohn7659]

If that had a belt system i wpould buy that right now.

[@Handsomeguy-kj2jg]

What’s the shirt he’s wearing

[@neilarcher9519]

Camp update?

[@ricstormwolf]

I don't know why the term "hook and loop" bugs me so much. But, on the west coast, we call it Velcro.

[@BlackOwlOutdoors]

Velcro is a brand.

[@ricstormwolf]

@@BlackOwlOutdoors I get that. I do. But, back when it came out, it was just called velcro. ZZ Top even wrote a song about it. Velcro Fly. I really love your videos, though. I hope you'll do more in the future. I especially love your review of the 5.11 Tactical Rush 72. It's quite relaxing. I own that pack and love it.

[@mtothem1337]

Looks neat, but i have never understood the purpose of having a stool in your backpack, i much rather not have that extra weight, and sit on a rock or something instead.

[@hoppi-menschmusikkunstkult1432]

MtotheM well it’s handy if your hunting, you don’t choose the place you want to sit according to available rocks ;)

[@christianb8228]

MtotheM what if there is nothing but ground to take a seat?

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

solid review. but as far as the pack goes, its like someone took a medium alice pack and stuck the frame inside. frame is better on the outside

[@watsyurdeal]

How would you go about putting a tent and sleeping bag on this bag?

[@jeffersonhammond6746]

You don't, it's a day pack. As such it is not really designed to carry the weight of an over "nighter" unless you are travelling ultra light. Also being a day pack it lacks a waist belt which some have commented on as being a negative. Why do you need a waist belt on a day pack?

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Jefferson Hammond because of the size and weight of that “day pack”. It’s rather large for a day pack

[@respecttheface7152]

DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE SUCH A MANLY BAG 😆

[@kahenkilonsiika4210]

Fjällräven makes a lot of manly outdoors stuff. Their hunting clothes and equipment are great!

[@bushcraft_in_the_north]

baaah it snows now,In Norway

[@richardelizondo1]

the backpack FRAME is money.....that's why I would buy it....

[@Ceco556]

Nice review, however, IMO not worth the price of admission!

[@hillwalksandwildcamping3322]

Storing a compass with metal objects is a BIG NO NO.

[@christianb8228]

What can it do?

Google is your friend 👍

[@soklam3370]

I don't want this, I need this.

[@pastorpfp1]

No doubt a great pack but not for me! LOL! Way to much $$$.

[@notailfishing1104]

Fjällräven is made in china nowdays and dont hold same quality they held 20 years ago. its mass produced shit nowdays, it has become more of a brand fame thing over quality and durability, if you want value from your money, go with maxpedition.

[@doingstuffoutdoors3002]

maxpedition......made in Taiwan....mass produced shit...i know I bought 1 would not buy again

[@knightlight2627]

@@doingstuffoutdoors3002 checkout Alder Stream canvas packs; they're out of Maine & everything is made in-house there. They make quality packs that are built to last, nicely priced, Made in the USA, and they will customize a pack to your liking. Cannot beat that.

[@christianb8228]

Notail Fishing this is made in Canada

[@christianb8228]

Notail Fishing same with the new version the singi stubben

[@lyricd]

It's a bummer really. The newer products are not the same.
