A bit of advice: Having those buckles where you have them, against the rotator cuff of your shoulder is going to cause you a world of hurt if you wear that pack any length of time over rough terrain.
well the concept is great and presentation was excellent. i would change the belt abit and find a way to attach or create and outer pouch for easy access snacks etc... i will experiment this weekend with my canvas tarp for sure. when i figure a good setup for me i will make a video of it. thanks for some ideas. love the shoulder straps idea.
Only problems I see with this is that you have to take your pack completely apart to make camp and all your stuff is uncovered, in the morning when you are breaking camp you have to take down your shelter before you can pack up. What if you need something from your pack during the day like the first aid kit or your wool sweater. You have to take it all apart to get anything.
@kyadak In most situations where this pack is useful you will be traveling great distances or hunkering down. One of the tricks I do is I attach a US Army Gas Mask Satchel to the outsides cordage using alice clips. This allows a handing bag for short out of camp adventures as well as a readily accessible place to put necessities while the bag is still packed. Hope this helps!
@kyadak the added benefit is that your not carring dead weight. Traditional backpacks are just useful for carrying things. After your done carrying your equipment the backpack is useless. The Yukon pack is good for while you are on the move and for where you are at.

Greetings from Alaska. I recommend a quality nylon tarp instead of that cheap plasticized stuff.

@texasstadium I totally agree with this... Real Nylon Tarps and of course the ever reliable Canvas!

I appreciate the video. It isn't clear what knots are used, and it's a bit lengthy for the content. What if you don't have belts from Wal-Mart?
