Video Transcription
hey what's up Turtles Creek here black outdoors and today I'm going to be doing a video on this pack this is the Fiala dayavan head logs 40 litre trekking bag I bought this for $179.99 and it comes with a rain fly this is the dark olive color option the main pack is constructed out of 500d nylon and the darker bottom is 750d empty the pack weighs four point four pounds and it does have a DWR finish on the bag so starting on the side of the bag there's two pockets and these two pockets are a feature that really drew me to this bag has a buckle closure system in addition to a storm flap with a cord lock really nice feature little extra security and in this pocket right now I just have my 40 litre water bottle Klean Kanteen you can see for perspective how big this pocket really is that's all I have in this one right now moving to the front of the pack you can see I have my Cook's Co hanging from a little little closure little fastening system and this is actually I had this commissioned by a card our rustic works go check out her work if you're not familiar with her does really really beautiful woodworking basically this is just some hook and loop with a little pull tab right here it's a nice little feature to help you get a little bit quicker and it has some reflective material on it underneath that you just have a little bit of webbing if you will that keeps this strap in place which this helps secure the top pocket or brain of the pack this can be used for trekking poles anything like that to secure to the bag there's two just want to messing with right now and then one on the other side of the bag
it also features this front pocket that my hands running along right now YKK zippers on this whole bag I really like the single finger pull these zipper pulls makes it really really easy and convenient to open up in closed pockets but this is just a small little slip stash stash style pocket and in here just have a notebook carry this notebook with me a lot really like the style of moleskin this pocket is really good for small thin items you can even put some really thin layers in here rain wear or anything like that but here's the front pocket as I mentioned before here is the second little closure system and then over here again is the same pocket same size same style and inside this one I'll show you what I have first off I have my fixed blade knife a Baco in the sheath this is about 40 45 feet maybe of a number 36 bank line and harmonica throw this back in so another cool feature about this bag and why I was really drawn to it is the ability to push stuff behind this pocket and right here there's a little compression strap that I have help securing this ax head a little bit nicer and this is about 16 17 maybe inch handle on this just for some size comparison it's really nice to store items like this or anything else you can use your imagination for just a really really cool feature again one of the features that drew me to this pack was a slide behind feature on this moving to the back of the bag this is a trekking style bag meaning it's meant to hold weight for long distances and be comfortable so what you see here it's all black right here and you sort of have these almost topo lines raised to help you pack a little bit off you and promote a little bit of airflow and you have this channel here doing the same thing and as a stay as a single stay in this it says an internal frame pack and you have a nice big lumbar contact point right here which really helps keep the weight one your lower back it makes the pack comfortable to carry for long distances in between the shoulder straps you see is grab handle right here which is basically a piece of nylon doubled on itself and then this looks like just some rubberized material on top of each shoulder strap you have these right here as my fingers are playing with this is known as like a load stabilizer or load lifter straps and this really helps when you have weight when you're back with the pack this will help get it more securely to your to your body and make a little bit more comfortable and you can adjust for different size bodies because this is a one size bag running down the shoulder straps here which have this s sort of shaped to them you see the sternum strap and that runs on a rail it's adjustable do it on this side and see I'll slide this up and down it's adjustable both sides pretty common features on one trekking hiking backpacks that style backpacking packs and the shoulder straps themselves are very comfortable this is probably a little bit proud of a half inch nice thick not too not too squishy all for some structure but nonetheless very comfortable and has some actual structure to the straps themselves
you can tell it's meant and it does carry weight very well moving down to the waist belt you can see in relation to my hand health really thick wide this really is again just really shows you this packs meant to be comfortable and hold weight really well you can stir these if you need to rotating on the side each side of the waist belt has a pocket with a cover to zipper track and when I get in this this pocket here what I have is a piece of trash I picked up from the forest floor and this is out toys tin for some size comparison I wouldn't put too much in these because you don't want to make this pocket full of gear because this needs to bend around your body and then on the side here part of the load stabilizing system you can see attach to the waist belt and the pack you have this black nylon than my hands behind right now you pull this tight open it up a little bit for comfort to really to really adjust the pack to your body I'll show you the other one as well same thing on this side again these really single you know finger zipper pulls are really convenient and really really user-friendly and on this side just have a small little Clif Bar a little snack I really like really like these pockets on this hip belt I've had a few a few packs with pockets on the hip belts they always salt like they're too small they weren't quite size right enough to get anything used to win them but I don't feel that way with this back and then the closure system for the waist belt is plastic buckle which has a lot of tension and that takes a little bit of force to get it in which I like and then with this you sort of have the strap or the webbing kind of comes through and threads give you some mechanical advantage and changes this so when you get it on your body your cinching this up to you and this all make more sense and give you a better a better image of that when I get the pack on and show you how I go through it but I really really really like the way this is designed and I have a few other packs like this it really makes it easy when the packs I want you to take off tension or tighten up a little bit with minimal effort so that's the really really nice comfortable waist belt moving to the bottom of the pack it's a nice feature and again another one the features that drew me to this bag see my hands underneath some webbing right here and this allows you to attach you know blanket your shelter system depending whatever you can attach it to right here and as I rotate the pack up you'll see there's two little loops right here the help if you're going to put some trekking poles or ice axes or anything in this just to help secure that in the pack from moving around or the outside the pack I have a carabiner just holding them together right now normally it is they just hang like this but getting back to the bottom strap system there's two buckles here I can undo that I can even slide something right here and there's a lot more play more length in the system but right now I just have it bunched up in this convenient little sort of cord keeper just elastic that goes around the bunch or the hank a really nice feature a really nice feature had this on the bottom of the pack moving to the top of the pack this is an actual separate little lid or brain I like the call out of the pack and those two pockets in here the front of it I'm tracing it with right now I can't see the zipper track when I turn it around
has a single zipper our single finger pool again covered zipper track and this is the rain cover that comes with it this is what they're calling un blue the color you see little fjällräven logo will arctic fox right there I have that up top there should the weather turn and this is some small first aid medical type stuff have that handy as well and inside this pocket you can see the sheen to this material not sure exactly what it is but definitely is meant to offer some more water protection to the main compartment of the contents inside of this to help in case this gets soaked but if you have a rain fly that shouldn't happen a nice little feature I think I might make a stuff sack for this rain fly now get into has a brain of the pack or before I before I do that I want to point out there's these little anchor points right here there's four of them up top here this is small little pieces of nylon soon in here and you can thread some elastic some shot cord or any type of cord and that way you can store a wet garment or anything up top here just want to point that out but to get into the second pocket of this lid unbuckle with this one unbuckle this one and this opens up you can see right here is a little bit of a few or even talking about the mission statement and the pack itself but there's a zipper right here that opens this pocket and inside there I just have a little little organizer with small items some sharpening stuff just some small small items that I don't want floating around in bigger pockets conveniently up top here and on this lid itself you can see there's an elastic type stretch so that way I can if I have this really loaded up top here I can stretch this around it but there's not that much in there it gets smaller if there's not too much you know I just you can see I don't have this pack full but this way it's expandable for different load load sizes that you have in the pack so on top of the main compartment you have again this little buckle strap system which isn't really being utilized right now because I do not have this packed full but you can imagine if this was opened up more you can open this up pull this you can help you secure what's in here you can even put a layer underneath this anything like that there's a little bit of redundancy which I really like to get into this main compartment because it is a top loading bag sort of two storm flaps you can see how much more I could really put in here I'm like my hands on me about right here again you sort of have this finish on this top storm storm flap excuse me help with some weather protection and what I have inside the bag is a warmer layer sort of shirt jacket flannel style use as a pillow or an extra layer if I need it I have my Cooke system there's a cook pot and some other small cooking and doodads inside here right now I just have one freeze-dried meal for a mountain house chili mac and beef is actually pretty good I haven't done a video on this flavor yet but I will underneath that
have a sleeping bag this is a low Fuma did a video on this ex excuse me the ex 950 pro and I use this bag you know it says ready 230 degrees but this is more of a late spring summer early fall type bag for me synthetic bag really important because I'm in the East a lot of moister synthetics really help and the last thing I have down here is my whole sleeping system slash hanging out system so this is I have a hammock in here a bug net a tarp and straps all conveniently stopped inside this bag and there's one more feature on the inside this pack right here is another small zipper pocket inside that just have my sewing kit again this is a nice little pocket this way if you have small items you can get to it without getting it inside a bag just another small little place that put valuables or anything like that
a nice little feature but there is no designated place for a hydration reservoir or bladder in this bag one of the few not grapes but features I would like to see but it's definitely not a deal-breaker for me and this zipper tracker just opened opens up into the frame there's a single stay in here got a little bit more structure up here and then you have this sort of molded plastic as the frame as well I'm going to get this on and show you the order of events how I put this on to get it comfortable to stabilize the load so there is a correct order of events and it really depends on the pack but generally speaking when you're going to be backpacking or carrying a lot of weight with these types of features in or on the bag you really want to go through it methodically and consistently each time because you can have variability as you stabilize the pack that sometimes one time be comfortable second time it might not feel the same but how I do it is first of all I want to get all the weight off my shoulders and I want to get the weight in them and the waist belt right on my hips where I want it because this is what carries the weight that's why there's large waist belts there it's the help carry the weight get off your shoulders it's very comfortable and it just makes sense anatomically for us to carry weight on our hips so once I feel I got the weight where I want it it's comfortable again you can see me really cinching down on this it's really easy my hands are closed and I'm pulling in towards it instead of pulling out it's really easy it's really comfortable that's the hip belt so after that I want to feel where the weight is get my hips where I'm going to actually be using them when I'm walking tighten up the shoulder straps a little bit I don't want any weight on I just want them to secure as I move I'm going to go at the top here with these pulleys just slightly at first just the feel where the weights moving that feels comfortable I'm going to go down to the hip belt and move that just a little bit really comfortable really comfortable so that's the order of events and you can also do the sternum strap I particularly don't use it don't use these but you can and that's again just to help keep the pack from shifting side to side as you're walking I chose this pack because for me it's exactly the styling and comfort that I've been looking for in packs it has that mix between you know the tactical with a little bit heavier nylon the 500d and 750d on the bottom it's got the really cool classic look of the more you know European or old rucksack look with modern features of a backpacking suspension system so that's a perfect for me like a symphony in concert that I want to see on packs now this is one hundred and eighty dollars for a forty liter pack but in my mind it's well worth it
I was I was replacing an old Kelty Red Wing that's why I was looking for a pack this size and you can see what I have in the pack in the space I have adding you know more food I could be out for days with this pack and still have you know and still be able to carry this comfortably for miles or kilometers so that's why I chose this pack and the color I just really like subdued and more earth tone colors backpacking style technical bags really brightly colored further you know for good reason for high contrast and getting to dangerous situations the backcountry can be used as signaling but personally I just want something subdued I'd rather blend in without being said I really really like this pack I haven't been this excited for a piece of gear in a long time let me know your thoughts and impressions leave a comment feeling more questions about this pack you know let me know I'm really curious to hear what you have to say about this remember this video will be up on blackout doors calm murder to check us out on all the other social media outlets were putting up all the photographs were putting up all that stuff this is correct signing out with blackout doors later Turtles you
