Why Highlanders Used This Strange Backpack - The Creel Basket Pack
Join my school here: https://www.resilientrootssurvival.com/ For centuries, Highlanders carried everything from peat, seaweed, food and fishing gear using a simple woven basket called a "Creel." At first glance, the design seems strange compared to a modern backpack… but after spending time using one myself, I started to understand the logic behind it. In this video I explore the history, design and wilderness practicality of the traditional Highland creel basket.
