For some reason youtube blocked out the channel banner for the mentioned youtuber so if you're wondering what that video sign is at the beginning that's why 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you for this review. Saw the other review with Luke first and thought I’d made a mistake with this purchase. Thanks for the thorough balanced review.

Brilliant video and excellent review. Whenever I see posts about people asking about what bag to buy, I'll happily post pros and cons of the ones I have but always add the caveat of that like all camping kit it's a very personal choice and what works for one will not work for another.

I watched the other review first. Couldn't believe from the few things he said that it was that bad a bag. Especially to the point he said "DO NOT BUY". So I really appreciate this honest review from you countering some of the things he said. For the price this appears to be a rather decent bag for many situations. Thanks for your efforts to inform!

Awesome and honest review. Thanks for sharing your apparently magical ability to take and replace water bottles from pockets too. I have had this pack for about a year, and I really like it a lot. I also have the 40L version as well. I haven't been able to take that one on a hike yet.

I just watched his video then stumbled upon yours. Fantastic counter and great demonstrations. Subscribed right away. No train-wreck videos here so thank you!!!

I am a 5 foot nine mail at about 210 pounds. Backpack fits me great. I took off the cordage on the side and replaced it with bungee cord and attached it into extra areas. Works fantastic. I also took the bungee cord and crisscrossed it over the pouch in the back. This gives me the ability to hang some clothes to dry him to store some extra items. I love the pack. I agree with your pros and cons.

Great reply to the "famous tuber". I have the bag and love it mainly because of the frame. I used a frameless bag before and the difference is huge for comfort. Folk say " you get what pay for" but this bag is superb value.

Thank you for providing the rebuttal to previous "reviews" of this pack. Looks like excellent value for the asking price.

Really appreciate this video. Five minutes before I watched the video you are referring to and was so disappointed and something told me to hang ten and see for a second review and came across your video Thank you I will definitely be purchasing 🙏

I have this pack like it. It is an entry level UL pack for some it’s priced right and served me very well I did upgrade to a ULA pack mostly because I wanted more space but it cost $300+ and I’m keeping the nature hike it fit me fine and I’m 5’11 150 ponds and blindingly good looking. Great review!!

Well spoken, demonstrated and explained…nicely done.

Great perspective and review of the bag Mike some very valid advice 💪💪👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ended the last 500 miles of 2021 exclusively with this pack. Not one single problem. I stand by this back if you are a taller person with a long medium to larger torso. Never once a shoulder or neck issue due to the strap design. Gonna exclusively use this pack for the enter year of 2022, meaning this pack will get around another 2500-3000 miles this year. I will check in periodically with the pack as I can. It's gonna get 125 miles between now and Monday to further start the new year off right. It got 77 miles between 12/31/21 and 1/2/22. (47 of those 1/1-1/2 to start the year off with its first trip of 22'). We have trips for every weekend in January with this weekend being the longest and the other trips between 55-75 or so miles so January 22 is gonna see plenty of action with this pack for the new year). Happy New Year!

My daughter bought this and loves it and completely agress with your review.

Thank you for honest review...

68 miles on the AT in Virginia this past four days. I had the pack loaded with 22.5 pounds total weight for the four day trip. I had zero issues with the pack. There was plenty of room for my 15* Hyke and Byke Eolus sleeping bag, my 10 year old Mountainsmith (bad reviews from Luke) 2p tent that has about 7000 miles on it in the past 10 years. The shoulder straps never rubbed against my neck, unless I tightened down the center strap (which does not affect the load positioning on even the $400 packs), but as long as I left in a neutral position (as it should be) it was absolutely fine (the wife used the 40 +5L pack, which has no center strap across chest with no issues as well). It carried the load with no issue and placed the weight over the hips and legs as should. If I wanted to put some weight on the front of my shoulders, I adjusted the front load lifters to lift the load a little (not the load lifters on the shoulder, just the front load lifters) and put it on the front of my shoulders which is where about 20% of the load should be (not on the top and back of shoulders). We stayed above 4000 ft elevation for several miles on several occasions and scrambled across many rocky areas with no issues with the pack or load. We traveled under the rhododendrons with them dropping down and scrapping across the pack with no tears or rips. Naturehike states the 60L is not made for anyone under 5'7" and the 40L is not for anyone over 5'6". I would say that is true and not true, but I would measure to make sure the pack fits the neck to crown of the illiac crest. A friend of mine is 5'5" and the pack fit him well when he tried it for a couple mile (he has a 19" neck to illiac crest), but the 40L the wife was using fit another friend that is 5'11" (he has a shorter 17.5" torso....long as legs lol) with no issue. I'm 6'1" and 210 pounds and the pack worked perfect without a hiccup. I am going to use it again next month on the 40 mile trek across Maryland via the Appalachian Trail and again in December on the 78 mile trek through Georgia on the AT. That will put almost 200 miles on the pack in those three trips, not including the shorter two night trips we are doing on local trails between then (we backpack everyone other weekend). My main pack is the Gregory Katmai 55, but if this pack keeps going strong, it may become my go to until it wears out :). Just wanted to update you like I said i would when we came off the trail. Now, the five hour trip home.

Thank you for the demo's Cool style of review 😁 We are all different and that is what makes us unique All the best Clive 🤠

Great review Michael, my osprey atmos is just over 3 inch as well!! Loving the bottle moves..don't know how u did that...its impossible 😂😂😂. Those hip pockets are def bigger than the ones I have as well. Absolutely correct about bags not fitting everyone the same, I have the osprey atmos ag50 which is supposed to be better at weight distribution than the rook. Yet I found the osprey rook better. Great honest review as per usual. All the best, paul 👍

I have this pack. Used it few times and I am 6ft 2 and its perfect for me. I've carried 15 / 16kg in the pack (above the recommended weight) for a couple miles hike and camp and it was fine. I've added some elastic on the front of the mesh pocket to mimic the more expensive bags for coat etc. Suits my needs fine

Good points and great review 👍

I recently tried out the backpack & wanted it to work for me but sadly it didn’t. Probably due to my height 1.61m & not designed for female ‘features’. If they did a short torso version I’d definitely reconsider. It did feel like good quality material & smart design features. Thanks for the review Michael. Always good to hear your views.

Thanks for the review

Thank you sir for your thoughts on this backpack. I was reluctant to buy one after watching Luke's review but will give it a go now after watching this video.

I watched the video mentioned. I thought it very strange. You explained the details and show the reality about the backpack. I bought one recently and i'm waiting it to go to my adventures. Thanks a lot, guy.

Am after light weight back pack have not made up my mind yet thanks for the review

Thanks for making this review! I agree with everything you said. This bag needs more positive reviews because it's really a great bag at a great price. People on a budget should seriously look at this bag. I carried 29lbs 75 miles over 4 days and never once was uncomfortable. It fit everything I needed and on the trail I was able to eat and drink without stopping because of the hip and water bottle pockets. Thanks again!

Thank you for making this video. I saw the other 'all negative' video and felt it was just done to get viewership. Guess what? I just ordered my naturehike thanks to you!

I've been using the same pack for a while. The compression strap that wraps around the bag can be buckled after the rain fly is applied. It will help keep the fly on and the pack sinched down

Thank you for good review. Decent reasonable backpack. I recommend this, too.

I find mine really comfortable and it never slips down off the hips like my Vango did. This bag is a good bag. 👍

Not in the market for another backpack, but watched this anyway. Seemed a nice balanced review. I do a lot of day hikes with a cheap Indian made canvas bag - a copy of the hiking bag from my scouting days way back in the early 70s. Does me okay, as long as I don't overload it.

I have this pack and have hiked over 80 miles with loads from 16 to 26 lbs. This back has performed wonderfully for me. I hike 12 miles one day going up 2880 feet in elevation then down the other side and I was carrying about 26 lbs. of gear. The pack did not hurt my shoulders or back during the entire pack. This is a good pack.

your video is much more elaborate and reasonable, very good

What a lovely review,stay safe debs.

Love it mate👊 funny enough I watched is video before watching yours... Totally gutted because I just ordered it before looking it up... He mad me sick to the stomach lol then seeing yours made me feel much better.. I have subscribed 👍 keep the videos coming

Great thorough review Mike. Thank you. I’m looking at buying the 40+5L version of this pack for some long hiking. I’m shorter at 5’8. But like you mentioned, if it doesn’t fit, I can always sell on eBay. Btw, how waterproof have you found the pack’s material, with/without raincover? Cheers.

I did see Luke’s review on this pack and some things I agreed with and others I was scratching my head. I have this pack and as a 5ft 2” lady with an 18” torso it was ok for short hikes but not for multiple day hikes. The quality is excellent and the features are great. I only had two issues:- 1. The sternum strap just didn’t work for me (it was more of an under the boob strap). 2. The torso length is not adjustable (22” - so it just didn’t fit me) Overall I agree that this pack is good value for money. My best mate Rebecca has the same pack and it fits her perfectly! (She’s very tall!) As you rightly said, we are all different sizes and shapes. What works for one person may not work for another. Your pack still looks like new! A good review Michael.

Thanks for your counterpoint. I own the bag and I agree with you. For the price, it can’t be beat.

Good review mate. I like Luke's channel because of the chance to see new kit as it comes out. I too disagree with a lot of his comment though. I had to laugh when he reviewed the Dutch army tent, and complained about it leaking in the rain. He had set it up completely wrong. I commented on this and like you got no reply. Regards JB. 👍

Thx for this review. I did see the "famous youtuber review" and found it not very convincing. But I'm not giving up on Luke, I like his adventures too much for that.

I absolutely love mine. I bought some cheap bungee cord from Amazon and bungee it up the sides and also on the back behind the mesh pocket. It allows so much more freedom. The quality has been amazing. I also have the 3FUL smaller pack, which I love, but I do not compare the two. For the money, I recommend this pack to everyone. I agree with all the drawbacks, but there are things that one can do to alter the pack

You make many good points. Just note that Naturehike sells a 40L+5L version that is made for smaller torsos.

I'm happy with my Naturehike 60l too, though the waterbladder tube holes really do confuse me. Is it possible to get an adapter sheath to put inside the pack, perhaps? I'd certainly like to use a bladder with this. Thanks for the review!

Well said that man! I have the Dyneema version and I don’t have any of the issues mentioned in that other review. I think it’s a great bag.

Now this review was on point. I'll buy this, based on this review, thank you for that. Apparently some other UKpostsrs didn't know how to use it, when they gave it a terrible review.

Great review! I thought that his review was totally unfair to the pack also. I have used this pack for 2 1/2 years and have loved it. I do think that the bottle holder on the shoulder strap needs to be removable, but other than that I really like this pack. I do wish Naturehike would build some ventilation on the back panel.

You nailed this review. Subbed

Good day to you! I am a grandpa rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. Enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your gear review video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!

Good review and comments exactly right - what one person likes another won't....I've just bought a Lowe Alpine 65 on a recommendation but its not for me so it's going back. Doesn't mean Lowe Alpine are crap. If we all thought the same and did the same life would have no variety! Some people buy a brand just to be seen to have it or rubbish a cheaper brand because it doesn't fit their image - all the gear, no idea.

Thanks for the great video and review. Good timing as I've been looking at these along with the 3f UL ones. It just goes to show how different the other bloke sees things. Liked + Sub'd 👍

Good show thanks

nice video. thank you very much!

I liked your review and my only concern is it is not very adjustable. I am 5'8" and 160lbs and I can't imagine it will fit you at 6'4" the same as me at 5'8" with no adjustments. I like the hip belt to be around my hips of course so most packs you can adjust the shoulder straps up or down once you get the hip belt on so you carry the weight on your hips and not on your shoulders for the majority of the weight. All else seems perfect for me but I would like your comment regarding the One Size Fit's All approach on this pack?

Right there with you bruvver … it’s a great little pack for the price …. You covered everything …. Luke from the OGR probably overloaded it by packing out his Axe, big ass Rambo knife and his 38 handgun into the woods so sure it was uncomfortable … anything above 30lb and you definitely feel it on your shoulders… but then it’s not for that… it’s for overnighters or short multi day trips with lightweight gear and for that it’s perfect …. Great review ATB Dave Mc

I watched your video and I also watched his, and your video so your video was a more fair review than what he's was, thank you for a great video.

Thanks.

Complimenti! Recensione impeccabile! Meriteresti molti più iscritti di Luke! Saluti dall'Italia 👍👍👍

Another 75 miles since Thursday on this pack. This pack totes 22 pounds easily every trip I've used it on far. This pack now has over 200 miles on my back. Before January 1, 2022, it will have 500 total miles. I'm going to keep the pack. Saw another video where Luke is now downing the Granite Gear pack, which I have as well (my son uses it and has over a 2000 miles on it). Perhaps if Luke tried gear that was proper to his small body size they may work better for him. Hard to test things that are too big for you and give it a bad review LOL. Anyway, I'm enjoying this pack and as I said, it totes well and when fitted for the proper body size it fits as should. Keep on keeping on, brother! Enjoy your videos, my friend!

The pack came in Monday afternoon. Packed it last night after work. Took it out at day break this A.M. for a 6 mile out 6 mile in hike at out local wildlife management area. No issues with load lifters coming loose. No issue with hip belt or shoulder strap coming loose. I was full loaded with my 5 day loadout of 23 pounds and did not feel it pulling on my shoulders. Did not hurt my hips. Definitely no rubbing on the neck from the shoulder straps, but maybe because I am 6'1" and 218 pounds with broad shoulders and the pack can't rub my neck. My bud that was with me hiked with it a mile and had no issues with rubbing, pulling load dropping, or anything, but he is also 6' and 230 pounds. Oh well, I'll know more when I take it out Friday thru Monday on the AT in southern Virginia.

Magic Mike! Great review buddy with some good points raised, looks like a pretty decent bag in all fairness. Shots were fired and i'm hoping he shoots back! 😂 Atb Daz & Andy 😁👍🏻🏕

Nice constructive counterpoint to Luke's review...which I just saw. I thought it was odd the things he mentioned and how Naturehike could miss so badly on what is a pretty mature design so....glad I found your review. He, and pretty much every other reviewer out there harp on how sweaty their backs get. I've been hiking since the early 80s and never knew a sweaty back was a 'thing'. I figured since every other part of me was profusely sweating that my back would too and so, I have always had a sweaty back. I would actually prefer to have the pack snug against my back so it moves with me than have it separated in order to provide some small ventilation which, in the end does little. I don't have this bag but got a Granite Gear bag which appears to be very, very similar and I like it. Cheers and keep your back dry

Could you pull the waist strap out entirely? I am looking for a second backpack that I might occaisionaly lend to my skinny little boy scout nephew. Last time I lent him a pack he couldn't get the waist band tight enough, which led me to wonder if there is a decent ultralight pack that I could potentially swap in custom made belt for skeleton boy.

🤣🤣 out of sheer mischief I watched the ‘other’ review - I was giggling furiously hearing your comments in my head & your Paul Daniel’s magic tricks!! I think he must have got out of bed the wrong side when he reviewed the pack. Or maybe very hung over hence the shades? Either way I suspect that they had something to do with the blocking. PS. The harness straps on my rucksack sack are also 3”

Mine has served me very well I have nothing bad to say about it at all I even like the pocket on the the shoulder strap holds a small water bottle which is what I like there and I refill with the two other water bottles it’s a very affordable first time pack for anyone who’s not sure what they want yet.

Luke says, "This is the worst backpack I ever tested." What he meant was, "This backpack doesn't fit my small torso, so it must be the worst backpack for everyone."

You actually have a video 👍👌

Between this one and the 3F UL Qidian Pro, which one do you prefer?

I have never seen a video on UKposts with more than 100 comments, so that each comment contains a response from the author of the video. And here are 313 such comments. You are uniquely polite and attentive to the audience. Good luck!

I agree with every sound point you made in this video. I find Luke to be overly negative about almost everything he reviews.

Hii, i would like to know if the Shoulder Straps are confortable and soft? Thanks

Glad you mention your hight. I'm 6'4 too. I think the famous negative review is due to the reviewer's hight. He is much shorter.

I have the 40l model. It is perfect for my practice of ultra-light long-distance semi-autonomous walking (night in a tent in negative temperatures at the end of autumn). I modified the bag a little, in the same way that I personalize all of my equipment. It now weighs 800g empty. In support, I have a total weight of 4.7 kg which rests mainly on the hips. Plus 1.5 kg of water, alcohol for the stove and food. This bag at 60€ delivered is no less comfortable and practical than a light walking bag at 200€. J'ai le modèle 40l. Il convient parfaitement à ma pratique de marche ultra légère longue distance en semi autonomie (nuit sous la tente par températures négatives de fin d'automne). J'ai un peu modifié le sac, de la même façon que je personnalise l'ensemble de mon matériel. Il pèse maintenant à vide 800g. En charge, j'ai un poids total de 4,7kg qui repose essentiellement sur les hanches. Plus 1,5 kg d'eau, alcool pour le réchaud et nourriture. Ce sac à 60€ livré n'est pas moins confortable et pratique qu'un sac de marche légère à 200€.

I'll be going for a mountain trekking for the first time on October for 3 days, and I'm a woman whose 149cm tall...I don't know which Bag do I buy... I've read good and bad comments here... Any recommendations for a short girl?😢 HELP

I'm interested of buying one but not sure dyneema or nylon version. Which one would you recommend?

Fantastic counter arguments to the “worst bag in the world” For around $70 I challenge anyone to find a better made and comfortable bag at that weight/price.

I have a Lowe Alpine, Gregory, Osprey (like the one Luke wears), and several off brands. I use them all for different types of hikes or backpacking trips. Most of the shoulder straps (even on the Osprey like Luke's) is barely over 3 inches. I also have several tents he has reviewed and says they were crap and I've used them for between 10-20 years with no issues. Funny how a majority of ppl can have the same things he is reviewing for so long and never have issues with them. He's a good guy, but sometimes, ppl become arrogant in what they're doing, unfortunately.

May i know what material for this bag? as i saw at same place it claim dyneema

Should I buy this for EBC trek?

thanks for the, I can now checkout mine 😉..but someone says that its good for the ladies?

Hi mate, would you still recommend in 2023 or are there any new and improved for around the same price point

Is there any advantage in going for the dyneema version vs the regular nylon? Naturehike lists the dyneema version (1.31 kg) as heavier than the regular nylon (1.16 kg). Thanks.

Good review thanks. And good job debunking the American geezer's review.

I tried this, and I found it uncomfortable compared to my other backpacks. Packed it nearly with the total weight being 10kg and it just wasn’t right compared to my other backpacks. Felt heavier carrying it and it rubbed on my neck/shoulder area. Gutted because it looked really nice :/

No big deal if you lose the pack cover.. they’re useless anyway. The part of the pack that will take on the most water is the part resting against your back and the only part of the pack not covered.

I bought one of these trying to get a lighter pack over my existing 60L. Straight away, it seems a lot smaller in comparison. I double checked I'd not been accidentally sent the 40L version - it is embroidered with 60 'liter' and weighed at 1.25kg is roughly as expected for the "60L". It was ordered direct from naturehike's store. On measuring it though my suspicions are confirmed: 27cm wide (i.e. top edge of back padding), 18cm deep (across side, padding to rear netting), 85cm tall (bottom of rear padding to extended roll top with one turn to close). Multiplied out this comes to 41L. Can anybody else with this pack do some measurements, have I been sent a dud (though weight and embroidery are telling)?

Dear Novice Wild Camper, I watched your review video about Long Term Naturehike 60l backpack review on UKposts, and you really have done a great job on this. I love your video style very much. We are setting up a new business on[ camping chair] and hope to extend our business. So can you test the product for us? We will appreciate it and we can pay for your effort. Best Regards

Luke from the OTHER channel can be very negative if he doesn't like something, he did the same with my tent all because he didn't know how to put the poles in correctly and ignored comments

Can’t be that popular this other geezer when I’m watching Mike novice wild camper every week and not a clue who other person is 🤣

I’m glad I watched his cry baby review glad I found u I thought I was the only one that thought his review was bs

The load lifters looks to be placed wrong on this pack. They should be above your shoulders. Maybe not a big deal if your pack is light enough.

He can be a bit judgemental and picky. I love my river country tent he hated. I'm gonna love this pack too when it comes in.

Anyone interested in buying one I have owned this since launch used 3 times and it will not be being used again by me genuine pain in back and collarbones after use. On paper it's fantastic, quality also fantastic you just need to be specially bred to fit the straps really. It's either gonna fit and work or it's not gonna fit and is actually painful to use.

Put another 78 miles on the pack the past four days. I still disagree 100% with Luke! This pack is really good. Will be putting another 39 miles on it in 2 weeks. By January 1, 2022 this pack will have almost 500 miles on it by then. I am going to be using this pack until it gets 1000 miles on it attempting to check the wear and tear on it in that many miles. This far, for a $100 bag, I think it's pretty good, but I'll know soon enough how it handles with time and miles on it. I plan on this being the only pack I use for the next year.

Schöner Rucksack. Grüße ronactive

Luke (outdoorgearreview) is a small guy (5'5") & of course not all rucksacks, especially ' one size fits all' models, which have to be based on average heights & builds, may not fit him & people of his size. This particular bag seems to have more positive views than negative, so it probably isn't as bad as Luke made out, it just wasn't a ruck for him.

Do you think The lone wolf was the lone thumbs down ?? 👎😂😂 … Strength and honor (w no U) my friend 😄😄

I own this pack. And have had zero problems with it. I've seen the famous you tuber review of this Pack and knew he was full of it. I don't even bother watching his reviews anymore as he seems more and more like a armchair quarterback

i dont think you are the only one wondering what he is on about alot of the time or how he became such an expert on any thing and everything he calls the Hilleberg Una a two person tent .... its called the Una for a reason but well .... i worked doing expeditions for years i slept in a tent everywhere from the amazones to antarctica and most of the stuff i ever watched of hes i been like what the f..k is the guy on about ..... youtube autoplay found this video ..... you are the guy who makes those tables right? ..... best regards from scandinavia

I think everybody should just buy the granite gear crown 2 if they got the money and want a decent lightweight pack. It's definitely overlooked. They sell them on the Ultralight outdoor gear store.cost just over £200. It weighs 1142 grams but if you remove the hood and take out the frame. I got it down to 892 grams. It's my favourite pack. Maybe I should do a review on it. Everything is perfect about it. They are made in the USA but not many shops sells them here. I watched lukes video this evening. Man he hates that pack lol. It looks good though.
