Person: Isnt 15 liters to small for a bushcraft pack? EnduranceRoom: Hold my beer.

🎖️ Another great follow up 🎖️

I had a maxpedition typhoon which is about a 15l pack. I found it just a tad too small. I sold it to buy the savotta jakkari S, which is just about right atv20l plus.. anything more than 25l (ish), I have found at my age, I dont want to carry on my back.. the hip belt/butt pack is a great weight dispersing alternative.

[@unfi6798]

Awesome ability to customise to suit usages & destinations. Adaptability & functionality is favourable with our use which is Search & Rescue. Now we need to field test it to know whether extreme heat will affect its durability. Cheers mate from Australia.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks brother. The adaptability is excellent. Very flexible with different loads. I don’t think the heat will be an issue with the materials. I am going to experiment with the 25 and try to mount it on an external frame for the airflow. Cheers

Good Evening Jess .. 👍👍👍 .. and yet another good one generating much food for thought 😊. An aside .. the shorts. Well, it is now officially Summer, so .. . Mine come out when the morning get-up-out-of-bed temperature tops 10°C (50°F), so the knobby knees have already had some sun, fresh air and rain exposure 😁. I have mentioned previously, these posts I view with mixed feelings .. the Heart says YES! The Head, standing out from the all too shallow shorts pockets .. NYET! 😏. I need to 'Mull' over this one .. my then-budget 12 litre day pack is showing its age with inner lining tearing and such .. Thanks for sharing, my Friend .. take care .. Tommy

[@EnduranceRoom]

Hey Tommy! Thank you very much. It’s been ridiculously hot and humid here this past week. At least by our standards. After 15C its too hot 😂 Have a good one!

[@lukewarm2075]

I'm sold what a great modular system 😊

[@EnduranceRoom]

The best that I have found. The quality is on another level.

[@stay_free_and_wild9478]

Great Video! It would be very nice what you got inside the kahakka and the askare for a overnighter ❤

[@jeffrichards5106]

Nice little packs and system, Jess. I'm catching up on your videos. I was on a 6-day camping trip last week. Have to watch the video previous to this one. Very nice! 👍🏻

[@EnduranceRoom]

That’s great! Glad to hear you got some woods time. Where did you go?

[@journeyman7189]

Great show and Tell Jess. That Kahakka and the super tarp looks like a fantastic combo. I was originally thinking a 15 in black for my daily and the 25 in brown or Mo5 for my woods runner but perhaps just one. If I had the funds it would be both but unfortunately that is not meant to be at the moment. Thanks Nate

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks Nate. Not sure which I would recommend, as both are nice and would do both the daily carry and woods stuff. If you are into both, maybe the 15 first, as the weather is warm, and the 25 later as things cool off. Either way you go, you will enjoy.

[@TheSplashey]

Great video! When running the ASKARE on the waist and KAHAKKA 15 as back pack: I love the look and idea of having hips and back pack articulate separately when you bend or turn, rather than having a more locked off spine like if you had a solid 30L pack instead. The movement options are very cool. Do you think adding suspenders LC-1/2 Y style to the ASKARE could help with pushing the load? The pack straps on top of the suspenders could be an issue but I've seen people do it with their LCE.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you! Yes, I totally agree. The movement is optimized greatly with this kind of rig. I have been thinking about the suspenders for a bit. I have some straps to rig one up. Just light webbing, fits under pack straps well. Maybe I will rig it up for a test. Personally though, I really haven’t found the need. As long as load is reasonable and waist strap set right, it works great.

[@Savotta]

Adding suspenders to the Askare is of course doable, but not something we intended. Suspenders will prohibit you from quickly swinging the Askare from your back to the front for easy access.

[@herbsmith6871]

Great info Jess! Thanks for sharing my friend😎

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks very much, Herb. Have a good one my friend. 🤝

[@MrNomezOfficial]

I was 100th to give thumbs up! 🎉

[@jamescrews3516]

Awsome videos as always man!!

[@macidtongue]

huge thanks for your reviews! Askare looks very tempting so what is the max loadout in pounds or kg you wore in askare on your hips?

[@EnduranceRoom]

@@macidtongue I usually keep it pretty light, with poncho, canteen, navigation, fire, first aid. But, I have used it to haul quite a bit more with Jerven hunter and a 4L pouch with 64oz water on belt. Absolutely awesome kit.

[@Tim_Keys]

Very nice my friend :)

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks Tim! Appreciate it. 🤝

[@yoinky]

Can you stuff the shoulder straps into the back slip pocket for storage?

[@Savotta]

Yep, the back pocket also has slits in the bottom corners for stuffing the lower straps of the shoulder straps in.

[@bobjohnson9354]

I'm wondering if the Askare can be worn like this, to act as a "shelf" with a Jaakari size M, or if the backpack is too long for most people.

[@EnduranceRoom]

It can be worn under M, but probably ideal is to mount it on the pack with the side straps. If you want to see it, some of my recent overnights from a few months ago featured the ASKARE under the M.

[@bobjohnson9354]

@@EnduranceRoom awesome, thanks for your answer, I'm going to look for it

[@larrysheedy4293]

But wait there is more…… great line. Thanks. Could you do a similar youtube with the 25 liter.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Haha yeah... It seemed appropriate. :) I will put something together with the 25 when I can. Cheers

[@LukasBrachmaier]

Very modular backback, looking great too. A comparison to the jäkki M would be interesting! Do you use the pukko 110 or 140? Greats from Europa.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks! I go over the M with the 25 in my earlier video on both 15 & 25. The packs are similar in volume, but different. I would say that perhaps with the frame, the M would be more ideally suited for heavier loads, but the 25 is perhaps a bit more convenient to add gear to with the side pockets. If you like the M, you will love the 25. 110 pukko, absolutely awesome knife. Cheers

[@gunfun7772]

My problem is that I want them all

[@flaxenelbow6987]

Do you think the 25l kahakka would fit well on a jääkäri M or L?

[@flaxenelbow6987]

I was thinking of replacing my hatka. I run a jääkäri M with 8l side pouches and a hakta but I think the kahakka but im not sure how it would look. I think the 25L would be too big and look goofy but the extra space would be nice

[@EnduranceRoom]

@@flaxenelbow6987 I don’t think using the 25L in place of the HATKA is going to be ideal in that situation. If more room is what you are looking for, the L is amazing.

[@drrobert2120]

Excellent! Enjoy the pack

Awesome review, content ❤❤❤❤❤

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks!

[@TeaDoubleE85]

Now do the 25 litter!!!

[@EnduranceRoom]

I went over the 25 pretty thoroughly in my previous video on both the 15 and 25. Both packs are awesome.

[@Richans]

Cheers mate, another great review, cool barefoot! :) Yesterday I did an overnighter with it, pretty awesome, I'm soo happy! :) See ya, Rich

[@EnduranceRoom]

Hey Rich! Thanks very much. Glad to hear you are getting to enjoy your pack. They did an amazing job on these. Absolutely beautiful. Cheers Brother

[@Richans]

@@EnduranceRoom Yeah, it's my favorite backpack right now, he even overtook my Tarahumara! :) Cheers Bro!

Nice follow up but didn’t show the inside.

[@EnduranceRoom]

It is one large compartment, fabric is PU lined. Checkout TimKeys video on the 25L. He turns the bag inside out if you would like to see it in detail.
