Just so you know I will be commenting thank you for your service on every of your video's

I understand if you remove the comment but for first aid I've notice that if I get a tooth pick thumb tack or something and put a small hole in the safety pull tab then I can use the alcohol more effectively

[@stevenfournier1933]

Great vid and great pak. The fact that Savotta sells , Large 6 liter side pouches and also med 2l pouch and small 1 liter pouches means you can beef up pack capacity if you need too by adding to side of pouch. There is also a kind of admin/ultility pouch that can go on back of pack as well. Making it a sturdy and versatile pack.

Gotta love Finnish milspec! I have some Savotta pouches, truly bombproof stuff. Also, their M05 camo is great for cold/temperate climate woodland.

Great review video, and I caught the movie reference. "Alright, alright, alright." And nice shirt, makes me miss the days of the "2600".

[@TheYoungdan]

If anybody watches your videos they should know that’s a bad ass bag. You said it’s been all around the world and in your vids it’s out in the woods like a squirrel! That bag has got to see more woods than anybody’s usual bag and it still looks new! Thanks for the video on this bag!

[@anni8456]

Fun fact: Savotta makes a lot of gear for the Finnish army. If the gear can easily last over 10 years in active use by the military all year around in the brutal Finnish weather conditions, it can last anything.

Thank you Corporal!! Just confirmed my choice on this pack after comparing what's out there for a few years. Thorough and informative review as always. Good to go!

[@mshockley17]

Just got this pack on the PF trade blanket. Taking it out for the first time tomorrow morning for a two day overnights that will cover around 20 miles of hiking. I’m pretty stoked to try it out. Cheers man!

[@graymann]

Great job on this video. The format was organized with good information and virtually no fluff. I say virtually no fluff because I may have missed something. Extremely well done I wish other KZbinrs would take a page out of this guy's handbook. If they did KZbin would be so much more useful.

[@markgarcia2088]

Thank you so much for the awesome personal photos. And of course the informative content! Keep up the great work.! I appreciate you!

[@NavigatingwithNafe]

Nice pack! 👍.. Not bad for downsizing from an Alice. But, I think I'll stick with my old alice pack. Found it at a flea-market for $35, frame & all, just needed to see up a few pockets, changed out the cordage & added some clips to the straps for easier access. Since, have used it for nearly 3 years now & absolutely love it!

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Thanks for the update, Shawn! I've been trying not to pester you about it, but I need to make my decision on a new pack before spring gets here.

[@BCVS777]

Thanks for the review. You do a really fine job of being concise yet thorough with your reviews.

[@vema1658]

They changed the backpack a little, now you tighten it from behind to front and its actually a lot better this way imo. Also even tho I have slightly newer model, think yours has also the option to hide the hip-belt behind the padding (the one that comes off). Granted its a bonus if it would come off and it would be better in everyday life, but few other manufactures have this and most of the time you either have loose strings that will still stick out (I have some of mine hidden with a piece of velcro, but they will still stick out for a 2-3cm). And I believe the drainage holes you talked about are lef out for a reason; In Finland, 10 out of 12 months we got moist air/ground and should you lay your backpack on the ground, Ill guarantee water will get in if theres drainage holes in the bottom. So they made the main comparment water proof, in my experience only way to get it wet is to literally soak it in water so that the water comes from the top. You can hide the hip-belt behind the padding by first removing the padding and putting the straps from the "wrong" side/out-to-in so that they will flatten behind the padding. Then just click them together, tighten and as optional, you can hide the loose ends with velcro etc

[@raedwulf61]

Cool pack. I normally have to modify packs to my liking, but this one looks all but perfect.

[@bradquall1547]

A nice pack. I agree.. Needs drain holes in the bottom.. In a other video i watched today.. I said your knowledge is vital for me. Being i dont make a ton of money. Wife n 3 kids .. This is why.. Your knowledge is great. Your honesty is top notch. Plus you use or test all products for awhile. You dont push items but say the good and bad in each product. With leaving us knowing about the item.. But lets us decide...whats better than that ?? Thanks again for a great vid. Keep putting them out and i will keep watchin !..

[@jayteehee6789]

Great pack. I've used 35L ones since 1970. Made by Karrimor in Britain. Neither is available in Canada to my knowledge.You can purchase eyelets at most sewing or leather shops to put drain holes in. Tons of useful features for sure. Cheers.

[@samuanttila4574]

I have one of my own. That hip belt, you can wrap it around the bag. That way its almost unvisible, and doesnt affect your normal use.

[@damejen1]

Awesome pack, good honest review. Would be interesting if you could do a video on how you pack (load) all your gear into your Savotta or any other backpack for efficiency, balance and comfort whilst in the field.

[@timpike3856]

You did a EXCELLENT review brother. You were very specific in showing all parts of the pack and throwing in different color images. Keep the reviews coming.

[@shadeboogy4912]

great review! ive watched a ton of pack reviews, and this is the main one i have returned to, more than once! i enjoy all your videos! thanks for the tips and slight training! STAY CORPORAL AF!

[@akivaliaho5166]

I own the smaller minijääkäri. It's great for me. I don't like too many pockets in a backpack because I never manage to put my gear in the same pocket I planned to have it in. I prefer a wide-mouth opening single compartment pack. I love that this pack comes without all the tactical bells and whistles I don't really need that much but the option to add more pockets is there if I need to haul more gear. One internal divider, a waterproof pocket and a main compartment is enough for me personally.

[@nvrumi]

I particularly enjoyed the gear dump clip.

[@tk00903]

Having had a few packs before, you're right, it rocks! Very well made. Looking forward to camping and fishing with my boys, ages 16 n 20 like when we lived in Wyoming. They have been expressing an interest in fishing again n I'm going to jump on it this summer. BTW, "stepped on children", can't see any difference whether biology has anything to do with loving them or not! Been in there lives since 2004, been difficult at times, love them no less. Just trying to give thjem structure in their lives. Times are getting tougher, trying to prepare them for it. Thank you for the encouragement you give, and the support of your son in your videos. Not every boy has the love and support you give to your son. You rock cpl!! Thank you.

[@Spartanen017]

Just found this channel and really liked it! You, Sir, have ja new follower! Ps. Greetings from Finland! Ps2. Name of the bag is spelled "jaeger" in english and has origins in the german word "Jäger" meaning "Hunter". I suppose, You might be aware of it, but for all the rest: if You don't know, now You know! Great job, great channel!

[@nicowest3249]

A year or so back, I went all , I bought their largest pack that can hold up to 100 litres. It's Absolutely the best pack I have ever bought! I am saving up to buy the medium and a couple of smaller. The packs are expensive, but so far, worth every penney.

[@jamesozment1]

thanks for the review! i just ordered the same pack. next week I'll order the jaakari large. on the large version the hip strap is completely removable. i think not having a drain hole is a good thing . the main compartment seems very water resistant. if you do manage to dunk and soak it you probably need to dry out your gear anyway so dry the pack by the fire while you dry your gear. also being water tight means you could use it to collect water in case you need to process large ammounts of h20 like say if you knew you were about to be hiking through a desert.

[@rexnecis]

"number one being the Alice pack, of course" *looks intensely* I love both my Alice packs.

[@StepOneSurvival]

Looks like a great day pack. Like the strap layout.

[@LIGHTNINLIPSKI1]

Nice pack for sure Shawn. At 30 litres capacity it would be too small for my purposes. I use a 70 litre French army alpine pack and for $60 it was money well spent.

[@JimRodgers]

Looks like a great day pack. I'm impressed with the features. Others have also given this pack a good review.

[@TheTenderbartender]

The lack of a drain hole in the main compartment is a design decision - the pockets are drained as they are top-open and exposed to elements. You wouldn't carry sensitive items in the pockets. The main compartment is sealed from the elements, and compromising the bottom would do more harm than good. Think about placing your pack on a damp surface and sucking up water into the interior (sleeping bag/clothes).

[@iconix21]

That is a lot of essential gear.....!!!!!! I appreciate your assistance.... Handsome Pack...!!! Savotta will become part of my kit moving forward. Thx you Corporal :]

[@StelmansLT]

I own the same backpack and have zero problems with no drainage at the bottom or non removable waist belt. 1. I doubt that I'll ever wet my backpack so much so it needs to drain water. 2. I see no problems with non removable hip belt. Because it is very usefull for me and I have no interest to remove it whatsoever. I buckle it up every time I hike with it.

[@01cthompson]

Is thee main compartment waterproof throughout? Maybe that is why there is no drain hole?

[@krivdik]

@@01cthompson yes it is, the entire inside is waterproof, so as long as you pack it well no water should get inside. It is still better to pack any valuables or electronics in extra plastic bag, just to be sure. But so far never had any issues with water getting inside.

[@thebrizzy]

no drainage holes mean you can set it on the wet ground and not have water come in the pack. The outer pockets are what you’d put things like water, poncho and things like that which need drainage holes.

[@bca323]

Hey Corporal! I recently got a medium Savotta. I was wondering if you could do a video on how you pack all your gear. Or at least maybe some kind of guidance. I feel like I'm running out of space for a soul similar pack out like what I see in most of your videos. Any insight is appreciated

[@Sneedweednfeed]

Buy the large pack.

[@itstheadventureimtalkingab4016]

Dude just pack the bag accordingly to the crap you have light shit on bottom heavy shit evened out on top and crap you readily need on top(easy accessible) and or strapped on out side

[@DrowDove3]

Haven’t posted a video about it but I’m actually moving away from backpacks and using pouches and such that I can strap onto a belt or two for mobility. With this thinking a backpack is used for carrying secondary and backup items which can be ditched or traded. Mobility is key. I haven’t come up with a really great system yet but I’m working on this. Be creative and think outside the norm.

[@giannistheodorou8950]

I have tested it hikkin for 2 days 24km 20kg. Great pack but i wish i had bought size L i thing it will be more comfortable.Also had some issues with straps on my shoulders too hard.. Love your videos.

[@scottjames8498]

Great review. I am running the maxpedition falcon 2 right now. The savota looks like it has too small of a hip belt. Looks well made and I probably get one. I buy a new pack every year. I have about 15 of them. Haha. Thanks!

[@marcusmckenzie9528]

[@tomaskarlsson5864]

It also has been in Finland since it's made there...😄

[@michaelangelo6947]

Since the inside has a waterproof liner, I'm guessing there isn't a need for a drain hole for the main pack body. What are your thoughts?

[@MagS258]

Regarding the lack of drain holes on the bottom of the pack: the mentality in the Finnish defense force and border guard is that in order to avoid soaking your gear you're supposed to pack everything in waterproof bags and in addition, preferably line the pack with a large plastic bag. It may be dumb and inconvenient, but what isn't when it comes to the military

[@kevinmoore2929]

There's something to be said for using a wet bag in your main compartment. Having been in S&T units during my time in the army, we had to strap up our rucks and duffle bags outside the cab of our vehicle(M939, M939 drop sides and HEMTTs) and having spent three years in Germany going to Grafenwehr and REFORGER, I'm glad I used them. Nothing like traveling 200 miles during a typical German winter to get to your site only to find 3/4 of your gear soaking wet under 1"-2" of mud and snow. At least in the summer, you could dry everything out after hitting the "wash rack"(the invariable summer thunderstorm that lasts two days and it rains sideways the entire time.) Room inside both of my 939s was at a premium as they both had PRC-77s installed. HEMTTs had zero room inside anyways.

[@endr9915]

Thanks for the video. Cool shirt.

[@druface12345]

Question about your comment on “no drain holes on the bottom of the pack”, should there be holes there? I’ve never noticed them on other packs. Wouldn’t it allow stuff to get wet if you put your pack down on wet ground or on wet snow? I’m asking because I intend on making my own pack, and you have more experience with a lot more gear than me. I want to do it right when I get to it.

[@bobyoung241]

was that an APO-1! bet there's a review some time in the future. like the quick access side. instead of having to remove & dig for that thing at the bottom. the main compartment drain hole, kinda a plus or minus. set your pack down in a puddle u invite water to get in, unless u have a liner, then why bother with a drain hole. the side pockets are open to the elements and of course they'll get debris, so a hole makes sense.Good to Go.

Check out Tasmanian Tiger gear, I have the TT TROOPER PACK and it is hands down the best bag I've every bought. 50L bag, daily use, humped 100's of Kms, has a really nice waist belt that's 100% removable, nice wide shoulder straps and waist belt are really adjustable, comfortable with plates/vest on. Molly straps all over the place, so many different pockets inside and out(seriously there are pockets inside pockets love this everything has its spot).2 front Velcro patches (one name tag size, one flag sized), internal straps to secure items, pouch in the back for bladder(is made for one but I have crammed 2 into it) comes is a external waterproof cover that stores in a bottom zippered pocket. most of the pockets have drain holes, the main pouch doesn't though. nice meaty carring handle. I've abused this bag and it still looks fairly new.

[@jamesmoriarty9433]

CorporalsCorner It looks like a nice bag for survival, but for preppers, this bag fits the bill too well, in my opinion. Walk around with that (or any bag with MOLLE) after SHTF, and you're a walking target. If you HAVE to have it, try putting a rain cover on it to hide that MOLLE. I do this with my 5.11 Rush72 backpack, but I much prefer my COVRT bag. As always, great video.

[@horatiodreamt]

Yes, but after SHTF, wouldn't you be a walking target just by walking around regardless of what you're carrying?

[@jamesmoriarty9433]

@@horatiodreamt Of course you would. If someone thinks you're worth the risk, that is. Someone with a MOLLE bag would stick out a lot more than just your average school bag. People look at MOLLE bags and think supplies for days. People look at the school bag and think clothes, family photos, and a couple cans of ravioli.

[@nancygreggpasiecznik4673]

For the Pathfinder School's basic class, would the medium pack be large enough? I don't see how everything can fit into the pack that you showed in this video--I'm primarily thinking cooking and cutting gear (two is one and one is none). Assuming that a person would be hiking and not able to go back to their truck for something, would an Alice pack be better? Without giving too much away at this time unless you can, will your new backpack be more like the Sabota or Alice pack? How many days' gear will it carry? I want to buy a pack and other gear as soon as I can and not be caught short. Thanks.

[@Titanykus]

[@JarlSeamus]

Looks like a terrific pack. As for drain holes in the bottom, that would kind of defeat making the main compartment waterproof, no? That waist belt, besides being removable, should be a tad more padded. And lastly, it needs a sternum strap. I like the size of the medium one. I love my medium ALICE, but this bag looks a bit lighter, even if it doesn't have the advantages of a rigid frame... Thanks again for a great review!

[@mr.stotruppen8724]

You'd appreciate the drain holes if your bladder ever burst inside your waterproof bag.

I’ve always used an alice pack but it’s time for me to get a new pack. Why would you rate this below the Alice pack for longer trips? And if you had the larger 40-60L pack would that change your mind?
