New Frost River Isle Royale Load Out

How I pack my new Frost River Isle Royal pack.

[@MrJayharr58]

I like you man!!! Wish I had a grandpa like you. Well your not grandpa old by any means. Great pack, I bought one to and pack it just like you said and it’s fine. I know some people add garbage cans to it and what not but that adds 5 lbs also it has shape when it’s loaded…. That’s the point. It doesn’t need shape when empty.

[@wcknives]

LOL, certain old enough to be a grandpa. Appreciate the view and comment. Glad the load out worked for you.

I have only been subbed to your channel for a few months but from what I've seen, your content is great. Seems like I learn something new from almost every video. Thanks for your effort!

[@wcknives]

superfly2201 You're very welcome and I appreciate the support.

That was amazing after you put in that first blanket I thought there goes the space...well that was a good surprise. She's a beauty I'll have to checked one out. I need to see your first video. Enjoyed it. atb Opal

[@wcknives]

+Opal Preston Shirley Thanks!

[@TurtleBushcraft]

[@wcknives]

Turtle Bushcraft Thinking about the mini but I have been using the duluth wanderer and it has worked so far. Appreciate the view and comment.

[@watermain48]

Thanks for a great video on packing. I just received my Isle Royale Jr. today and can't wait to take it to the woods...

[@wcknives]

+Bill K. Frost River has some awesome gear. Appreciate your view and comment.

[@PREPFORIT]

Good info for Summers and warm spring days here ( Canada ) I have my fall winter gear all ready to switch out when I need too. Thanks !

[@wcknives]

PREPFORIT LOL, yep a little different climate there.

Hello William, I am a new subscriber, I found your videos while looking for "Bug outs". I watched your Bug out series, and I thought they were great videos. You touched on some really good points in those videos. Great videos and keep them coming

[@wcknives]

johnny30806 Thanks, welcome to my channel.

[@jasoncolvin8420]

Awesome review and some great tips William! Your knives are beautiful and hopefully I'll own one in the future!!

[@wcknives]

Thank you, hope you get one as well.

[@perberggren8415]

Great video, William! Love your channel!

[@wcknives]

+Per Berggren Thank you, appreciate your support.

[@RedDogBushCraft]

Looks like a nice pack. I don't care for ground sleeping ether. And you are right, you can never have too many knives.

[@wcknives]

RedDogBushCraft LOL, I knew you were a wise man.

[@johnrossi4607]

Thanks William ! Another great series.....PAPA DUKES

[@wcknives]

john rossi Very welcome, appreciate the view and comment.

[@sebl3810]

I live in Duluth and I worked for Frost River for a while. I've also been to Isle Royal, it's gorgeous.

[@wcknives]

It is a pleasure to meet you. Frost River makes some very fine packs.

[@richschwartz8004]

I was wondering if you remember where you got the wool blanket you put in the top of your pack? The one I am currently using is the 90/10 wool blanket that Rothko sells. It looks like you're just the wool percentage is 10% less. I have been looking for an affordable 100% blanket but haven't found any yet that wouldn't make the anorak style coats we make outrageous in price. Thank you in advance. God bless and stay safe.

[@wcknives]

Rich Schwartz eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-NEW-Italian-Army-Military-Blanket-100-Wool-NOS-Super-Heavy-Warm-/141735073660?hash=item210011977c non of the 100% wool blankets are cheap. This is the best pricing I have found.

[@forgedsteelwrench9249]

Rich Schwartz what i would do is goto the black sheep and ask " oh blk sheep blk sheep have you any wool" then the sheep will tell me "yes sir yes sir three bags full, one for you, one for the dame and one for the little boy that lives dwn the lane".

[@sipapito]

Do you still have this bag? What you end opinion? Worth buying or not?👍🏻

[@wcknives]

Built like a tank but heavy.

[@aHigherPower]

Nice pack, I really like it. The expense kills me. lol

[@wcknives]

+aHigher Power Thanks!

[@Texasbushboy]

Great video. I have the same pack. Have you moved away from using the BulPac? I really like the idea of modular packing. Keep the videos coming. Learning a lot.

[@wcknives]

+Hikeyourmind Yes and no. I still have the Bull Pac Frame and thinking about using it with a trappers pack basket. My amo can for the modular system hinge broke so that set up wasn't the best option. Still love the frame though and idea. Appreciate your view and comment.

[@wanderingthewilderness]

Nice load out but alittle heavy for a smaller man. Wouldn't want to trek to long with it. You use any form of conveyance?

[@wcknives]

wildernesscamp 85 I tend to buy gear for the long term as explained in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5LEc3WqbrBnbpo This means the gear is a little heavier than some and yes I do use a boat as a conveyance. If I was hiking then I would certainly go light as possible but I don't think it would be very much lighter. Appreciate the view and comment.

[@wanderingthewilderness]

My pack out is between 35-40 lbs depending on weather. Ill do a video on it soon. Thanks for sharing your gear.

[@thebrizzy]

The hat is killer.

[@wcknives]

+Brian Thanks!

[@kato2531]

I have the same pack its great

[@wcknives]

+lin juan Really like mine so far. Appreciate the view and comment.

[@grizzly22485]

Looks like you forgot to pack yer trangia stove. Good pack, though...........Ross

[@wcknives]

Ross Sullivan It was a duplicate. I had another one in my bush pot. Yep, like the pack so far.

[@mr.fisher3973]

Just wondering - two months later - is it worth the money? I am seriously considering purchasing this pack and just want some user feedback. Great video. Thank you for your time.

[@wcknives]

+GoFeesh 85 Appreciate your video support. I think it comes down to personal need. If you like bucket packs with a bomb proof durability and warranty like I do then I would say it was worth it. If you only want something to use a few times a year and then this pack is probably not what you are looking for. Also it isn't a light pack. I think this one weighs around 7-8 pounds empty.

[@moorshound3243]

is that the medium size pack?

[@wcknives]

+Moors Hound It is the grand, the large pack.

[@moorshound3243]

William Collins oh many thanks, I am looking at getting this pack, youtube is the only place I can check out this pack, I just want to make the right choice as it is a lot of money to spend! Cheers bro.

[@wcknives]

It is a very well made pack.

[@henkisa]

hello i have a question can i share this video om my facebook channel frost river backpack and gear

[@wcknives]

Certainly! Share any videos you want.

[@zaks3911]

I've seen you comment this same thing on every bag review I've watched

[@indianaoutdoors748]

Your new mic isn't working very well. Maybe move it closer to your mouth. It's really hard to hear

[@wcknives]

Indiana Outdoors I will try that thanks!
