MYOG Internal Frame Pack

The pack looks great! Nice job on the harness system, it looks really solid! Keep up the great work!

Thank you Christopher. I appreciate it a lot. I am excited to test it out soon. I haven't used a framed pack in a while. The packs you are bringing out are truly awesome by the way.

Nice pack! Make me three, ha ha…

Thank you! If you'd like one I may be able to make another.

Is that blue 3d mesh on the shoulder straps i see? where did you find that!!
Nice looking pack! let us know how it rides!

It is black 4mm from rockywoods. My camera is just not great ha. I like the mesh though. It has carried well when I have loaded it down, but I will know for sure when I take it out.

LOL! That is pretty bad of a camera! And here I was kind of digging the navy blue and white color scheme, although I'm sure it's just as well crafted looking in black!

The fabric is navy but the 4mm mesh for the straps is black.

Totally looked blue! I was soo excited!!! lol
Still great looking pack!

Nice pack!!! I really like the white on blue scheme. Did you use a pattern?

I like the three compression straps. I always felt like just twon on either side wasn't enough. Looks good. Once I get the time and materials I'm going to be working some something broadly similar. Different frame but I'll be going for a simple layout and a similar compression system.

Michael email me if you think you can still make a second pack I have been looking all over for something such as this! JPanelle11@gmail.com

Sean: I did not use a pattern. I made an extremely broad one though if you'd like to see it.

Luke: What type of frame are you going with? I went with this one just because of the versatility of it and the ability to switch out frames.

Josh: I'll send an email here in a minute.

I'm going to be using the U shaped frame from a GG. It was a Christmas present from my family since they knew I like MYOG projects.

If you wouldn't mind, I would like to see your pattern. I'd love to get into making a pack, but I'm just not sure where to start.

Awesome Pack Michael! It's got some nice lines and a cool color scheme. How did you attach the hipbelt? I too am working on a pack similar to this and wanted a full wrap around hipbelt.

Rocking the 64 I see. Nice :)

Haha 64's never die. It's amazing.

What I did was square of fabric (the green that is seen). I sewed that directly into a seam created by the end of the back panel (white) and where I cut at the top with the sole reason to attach the square in. I then felled the seams. Separately I do a very loose zigzag stitch to attach the two hip belts together. I then pushed that through the sleeve then lined it up and double stitched the edges to anchor it.

Yeah gotta love it.

I was thinking the hip belt was one piece. Thanks for the explanation.

Also, how do you like the fit of the shoulder straps vs. attaching them to a straight seam on the pack body?

No problem. I thought about doing one piece, but I ended up deciding that it added complications without much benefit. I like the strap attachment a lot. It feels nice and it is extremely stable and strong. The strength of the connection is great.

Also, I have loaded it with containers filled with water to add weight and the frame distributes very nicely. I like the ability to bend the frame as well. I have curved it to my back.

Would you mind posting the rough demensions of your pack? just the main compartment hight, width and depth. Having a hard time getting the demensions right on my paper mock up/pattern im making. Your demensions look pretty good!

Thanks

Nice backpack, and nice gaming choice on the floor there, I always loved Super Smash Bros., although Melee was always the best.

Addison: Haha the original will always be the best.

Thomas: The dimensions are 6 deep by 11 wide and 24 or 25 tall. I think 25 if I remember correctly. 20in to from the bottom of the pack to the straps.
