Eberlestock F1 Mainframe Backpacking Trip

Eberlestock is a brand whose products I have come to enjoy, appreciate, and trust. From day trips to deep mountain excursions, Eberlestock packs make the journey with me quite often. In this video we look at the Mainframe, which is a modular frame pack that I have had my eyes on for quite some time...and adding the Batwings this pack has just taken the form of load hauling workhorse! We get a field use impression and get the Mainframe into some solid hauling use!

People have forgotten that packframes like this (okay older tech but same idea) and packboards used to be the be all end all of carrying bulky loads for any distance. I am a huge fan of the modular use of them.

I just ordered one I’ve been a fan of eberlestock for a long time. But this pack with the bat wings is GREAT for elk shed hunting. The molle webbing is universally compatible with anything molle so it’s great versatility.

I also have the F1 Mainframe, but with the Vapor 7500 instead of the dry bag like you have. I like having the ability to access things from the middle of the pack without needing to go in from the rollup top, as the Vapor 7500 has access from the back, besides the rollup top. If I need things to stay dry, I use heavy mil trash bags. One design flaws with the EMOD zippers. They should have made it where it zips together top to bottom, instead of bottom to top. This would eliminate the need for securing the zipper pull to keep it from unzipping itself.

I own this frame and also the carrier frame by eberlestock. But what I've done is swapped out parts. I combine it with hill people gear. Instead of using the 3 straps that go across is that r not always sturdy for a load lotsa movement often. So I use The hill people gear Aston 3 panel and the hill people gear straps to connect the panel to the frame basically compressing the load in with a hypalon molle very large panel and it just hugs ur whole load to the frame and the straps r so long that u can add additional bags to ur bag and compress it all to the frame. The panel is fully laser cut molle. And the straps r the same brand as the eberlestock buckles. So all fits. I can easily carry a 100 or so liters. I even have straps for the top of the bag so the full load is compressed in on top. And the finishing touch is I use the prairie belt hip belt

The hill people gear custom like I did made the load sit completely with no movement.

Thanks for the review. Pemi Wilderness/Lincoln Woods Trail in NH?

[@krypticsouls6811]

What's the MOLLE panel you used there? Does Eberlestock sell that as well?

[@katarzynafolgier331]

Not worth it. Way to expensive.
