Will you ever take the jaakari m again?
Nope, sold it after that trip :)
I've been carrying this pack for 4 years every day doing backcountry trail maintenance for various state and federal agencies its been perfect for my line of work
Which colour bag is this? i am trying to decide between forest and foliage and this looks like it could be one of those two.
My MR2DAP caught me watching your video and now I owe it a candlelit dinner
Hi Frosty. I have question, did you get any manual for VET-FDR Reticle which is used in this and 1-6x24i scopes? I bought this one but there is no manual inisde. Also unfortuantely vector helpline is not helpuf in this topic.
Hey! No, I have the hunting version so it has German #4 reticle, sorry.
@@frostys_bushcraft I have VO 1-8x24i and the reticle is identhical like you shown in the movie. In user manual VO called it as VET-FDR Fiber dot. But as I can understand I can use manual for German reticle) or other Mildot retilce. Do you know what is the TrueMil dot for this Scope?
I like the video where you start by hugging it to sleep. I'm now also planning to buy one to hug and sleep.
Hahaha that one was fun to make :)
Certainly a good pack. I have considered Mystery Ranch myself in the past but never got to buy one. First thing is they are expensive as f*ck, at least here in the EU. Second I already have around a dozen packs of all sizes and there's no more space left in my appartment lol. And I'm more of a Tasmanian Tiger guy anyway. They're much cheaper and easier to come by. And at the end of the day weight is still weight and you have to lug it around yourself. Most modern packs do a fine job at this task. The rest is personal preference and cosmetics. But nice review video anyway!
Tell me about it... I have no idea where to put all my gear but I keep buying cool new stuff 😂
@@frostys_bushcraft I have a 30l Tasmanian Tiger Mil Ops pack nowadays for that size range. I saw your vid on the Savotta Jakaari M, and the TT pack covers pretty much the same features as the Savotta. But it's a bit cheaper.
@@residentgeardo I love TT stuff (and Tatonka)... great quality for the money.
I think 35 pounds/15kg is way too much weight for a pack this size. I have considered this pack but I ended up buying the Tasmanian Tiger Mil Ops Pack 30 instead which I got for around 120 Euros I think. The TT pack is basically the same size and features, but even simpler without any frame, padding or hip belt whatsoever. But it does have nice wide padded shoulder straps. Reportedly the German army has bought this pack (at least two German youtube channels said so...) I've used it with around 25 pounds on extended daytrips. But for heavier loads I'd choose a different pack.
It's too much weight but it shouldn't be... 15kg is really not really heavy for a multi-day trip even in a 30 liter pack. As I like photography as well my pack is always +3kg just in photo gear (camera, lenses, spare batteries, powerbanks, light, tripod etc. and also double water for me and my dog, his food, his gear... gets heavy quick without even packing the essentials 😂 Most of that stuff is small in volume but relatively heavy.
@@frostys_bushcraft Yeah I know, got a dog as well and it easily adds 2-3kg in weight for a multi day trip. But for those I just choose larger packs since IMHO they're more comfortable to carry with heavier weights. And the additional weight of the pack doesn't really bother me that much when I have to carry that stuff for multiple days.
Are you finished? No more videos?
The Bigboy will break close to the attachment point after a lot of use, especially if you are careless on the push stroke and bend the blade. I always carry a spare blade.
Honestly this is the first time I heard about that problem. I used this one a lot, you can check my videos where I built a whole cabin with just a silky and an auger... and that saw was already used and somewhat damaged. But I appreciate the info, I'll throw in a spare blade just in case.
I lived in Japan for 20 years, saw Silky in a hardware store, love at first sight. This summer I want to get a Katana, with a spare blade in the case.
Fucking guy talked my ear off
Love the Jungle Knot. Where did you get the buy line pockets for your tarp? What are they called? Do you have a video showing them? All the best. Clive. 🤠
Good tip on the saw sharpening, thank you.
Thx for that and very good.
What's the name of the pipe to blow air in the fire?

Merci pour la vidéo. Je ne crois pas que c'est le meilleur combo. Après expérience, avec un gros couteau surtout ce Skrama, on peut se passer de hachette bien sûr mais aussi de scie. Le Skrama joue comme une hachette et peut tout séparer comme la scie (shopping ou bâtonnage transversal avec massue). Le meilleur combo avec le Skrama est un petit couteau scandinave : l'ensemble plus léger et plus polyvalent. In English : Thanks for the video. I don’t think it’s the best combo. After experience, with a large knife especially this Skrama, we can do without hatchet of course but also saw. The Skrama plays like a hatchet and can separate everything like the saw (shopping or crossbar with club). The best combo with the Skrama is a small Scandinavian knife: the lighter and more versatile set.
I have noticed the only backpacks i find comfortable is the ones with a similar shoulder straps to this one i.e. connected together separated from the actual pack. i dont know if this has anything to do with the comfort or is it something else, this is the common thing in packs I like.
i liked your backpack and terava skrama
I got one coming
Hey Frosty, just bought "your" bag and it is awesome :) Can you please tell me where you got these small plastic clips to fix the sheath?
Hey mate! Glad you like it :) Aliexpress is your best friend for cheap mounts of all kinds.
Speed-Clip. Finally. It is a fu..ing Speed-Clip. 😂
@@SeacryBlastsAloT I have a bunch of different ones so don't remember the names but some are actually really good!
ILove Savotta
The Skrama is a great choice. I like the 200 after using each for a while, but either the 240 or the 200 is going to be a great choice. Silky saws are a clear choice, as well. However, the folding Silky saws are not as good a choice as the fixed handle saws. The Sugoi, the Zubat, or the Sugowaza are all better choices for outdoors saws than any of Silky's folding saws. Your hand is at a much better angle, which causes less strain and is more comfortable. They're marginally longer in terms of packed size, but I believe the extra length is worth the extra quality you get from the better ergonomics.
Beautiful shooting range/countryside
Great video man you seem like an awesome dude. How is it I only found you now? I LOVE the Skrama. It can do it all, if I could only take one knife with me, this would be it.
Do you know if this company ships to USA? I couldn't tell by looking at there website.thanks!
Hey! Yeah, they ship but you have to email them directly for now. Last I heard they're working on an US distributor but not sure if it's running yet.
@@frostys_bushcraft ok ill shoot them an email thanks!also thanks for making a video on this knife I wouldn't know about it otherwise.
great video mr. frosty. but that's instant coffee. so... but ok. black is the best flavour of coffee
Frosty at what distance did you zero the LPVO in this video?
A quality lens has less to do with the source of the glass manufacturer but the polishing and coating methods/formulas used by the assembler of said scope.
I agree with you but you can't make quality products with low-end materials so quality glass defenitely helps. I also use their 2-16x44 scope for hunting and there's no noticable difference when looking trough that scope at night with moonlight and Schmidt & Bender Klassik 2.5-10x56 that's few times it's price. Not saying it's as good of a scope as S&B but for the money it's a no brainer for me.
Any updates on this bag yet?
Yup, sold it after one 3 day hike. Was cramping in neck and traps the whole time, couldn't wait to get back home. Good overall quality and materials but poor shoulder strap design.
@@frostys_bushcraft thanks man probably gonna go with the direct action ghost mk2 or the mystery ranch 2dap instead
Очень хорошее видео, спасибо. как вы думаете, это лучший рюкзак такого размера?
☝🏼No way bruh… I can buy 15 moras with that money.
..way too expensive, absolutely OVERPRIZED!!!
Costs the same as any higher class Banchmade, Fallkniven etc. but has a cool factor, great ergonomics, top end materials and is something new and different. Can't compare this to your 1095 Ka-Bar.
Fällkniven is the same, or would you pay nearly 800€ for a Modern Bowie??? You will get better knives from TRC or even from coldsteel for less more than half the price... UG TiNy I think it's a cool knive to have because it is small and light, but a bigger knive NEEDS weight to perform well as a chopper, in my opinion... Greetings✌🏼
@@frostys_bushcraft I don't have a fucking shitty K-bar, in Germany we normally use axes for chopping and splitting... Not all men are "Rambo's" like U... 😉
@@felixmann7045 No, because I'm not a Fallkniven fan and was not impressed with the knives I had (F1 and A1). TRC knives are in the same price range as far as I know. As for the weight... yeah, but how much do you actually chop with a knife? I used this one together with Terava Skrama 240 and also WTG Kodiak knife and honestly, Kodiak is useless to me. Big, heavy and can't do any cutting with it. I'd rather bring a lighter knife and something like Silky BigBoy... same weight overall but a lot more options.
@@felixmann7045 the Rambo comment is a pointless mate, not sure why you feel the need to attack me? Every year I have to make about 40-50 cubic meters of firewood depending on the winter, sawing and splitting. And I do it with an axe like any other normal person. But when I'm out camping I don't really want to carry a 2kg axe to make few hours worth of firewood.
Thanks buddy great video.
As a retired combaat Soldier, I enjoy seeing others from around the world with the same interests and insights. Take the politics out and we are we have much in common. Thank you for your video.
I will show you 360 view of this backpack with the latest technology. I am about to subscribe bro lol.
has to be a malaysian duku chandong parang and a silky saw for me, try it if you got the chance
Thx for the review!
I own s, l and xl and been very satisfied
Jakotta Savaari backpack? Before buying Savotta, just do your homework and make yourself aware of what Savotta design and mindset are all about. It is rugged, it is basic, it is durable, and, yes, it can be uncomfortable. The shoulder straps are narrow and thin for hunting and shooting purposes. If you’d have watched the official Savotta Jääkari M intro video, you would have known that.
I'm not going to enter yet another Savotta fanboy debate, I'll just quote Savotta on Jaakari M: "...designed to carry more weight comfortably than most packs of this size."
I have never owned a Savotta product in my life. My perspective is purely based on the gear we have used in the service. I will take the fanboy compliment with me. Try to differenciate between feedback and critique, no need to fight it.
@@wiz6330 Not looking for a fight but I heard the "it's a patrol pack, it's not made to be comfortable" so many times... sorry mate! It's not a problem of straps being thin but poorly shaped with no curve so inside edge digs in your traps. I actually sold the pack after 3-day hike in the mountains, my neck and back were cramping like crazy.
Great video! Question. Iw got this optical but having trouble finding a throw lever. Witch throw lever do you have mounted in this video?
Thanks. This should be the one: www.vectoroptics.com/products/view/id/SCCON-TL.html
@@frostys_bushcraft Thank U! Any thing else around the scope? You've had it for quite a while now. Any problem that have appered?
I think they didn't add the large hip belt for guys that will run this with a battle belt and a side arm pistol setup.
Love spicy food my dood
I would love to see video like this but without the blanket or the clothing material sorry my english is not that good i dont know how it is called
Hard not to trust a man that takes his coffee black as death.
"Time to play with the dog"... Toss the frikkin animal around like a twig for 5 minutes 😂
Knife is similar shape to a Seax
hey Frosty, do you have any similar backpacks that have less of the minus points? for example better straps and back support? i have a simmilar backpack and i absolutely hate how sweaty and wet my back gets compared to backpacks with ventilation.
Mach nen dekel drauf, dann heizt dat schneller
that bag what size?
EXTRA 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
