Making a Traditional Wood Pack Frame with Hand Tools
It's time to upgrade from my large cloth pack to a frame-styled pack. To begin this project I set out to the woods with a handful of tools and turn a tree into a pack frame. The wood used is Trembling (or Quaking) Aspen, a member of the Poplar family. The tree was blown over by the wind sometime during the winter (I think). Tools used: Hatchet - 1 3/4 lb. carpenters hatchet (brand unknown) Knife - Helle Sigmund Bow saw - Wood frame made by me, saw blade is a 21" Bahco Peg Tooth Blade (no rakers for dead wood) Small Japanese Utility Saw - Brand unknown, 9" blade 17 tpi 'Drill' - Antique Ratchet Bit Brace, Brand unknown This pack frame was completed over the course of 3 days. Day 1: Finding the perfect tree to use and shaping the uprights. Day 2: Shaping the horizontal crossmembers Day 3: Fitting all the pieces together Thank you to everyone who watches!
