Good to see you Darwin! You’ve been missed. It’s impressive how much time and effort you’ve put into your pack, and the fact that it’s made out of recycled material is icing on the cake! Well done and hope to see more of you on UKposts.

@DarwinOnthetrail Рік тому

Thanks Paul! ❤️🔥

@stoicodysseys6352 Рік тому

Just after I tell my fiancee that I'm done buying backpacking gear for the year you come out with this elegant pack. I know it's been a long time coming but you used quality materials, it looks like superior craftsmanship that you took through the gauntlet. I like that it not only looks rugged, functional, but also ivy League.

@DarwinOnthetrail Рік тому

Thanks for the kind words! We’re pretty damn proud of it. ❤️

@eliamsigouin8772 Рік тому

This is not my type of pack, but I’m impressed by it and i recognize the work that was put in it. If i need a ultralight pack I’ll definitely consider this one since i know it’s been made from someone qualified. Great work and it’s great to see you again on UKposts!

@Simon..Chapman Рік тому

Missed you Darwin and so pleased for you that you are having so many more adventures. Pack looks great, congratulations

@najman2741 Рік тому

I’m so stoked to see you post again. I’m glad you’re still involved in what you’re passionate about. You are a great communicator and presenter.

@naturalflow157 Рік тому

I can absolutely relate to all the upsides and downs. Thank you for bringing this video to us and for being able to enjoy the journey along the way. As someone who was truly into hiking, adventures, and the outdoors, I somehow lost this by living in the city. Thank you for creating this video and sharing it with us. All the best and wish you good luck on your journeys.

@lezlig4570 Рік тому

It’s been awesome watching your life journey over the years. Happy for you and all your great ideas and creativity to help hikers and love the recycle idea. Good luck in all your endeavors. As a retired person, I love watching young people find their way in life and being successful doing it.

@toghikes Рік тому

Great to see you again Darwin. Congratulations on your new company and great looking backpack. I love the design, construction and materials of this pack. I know where I will be shopping for my next backpack.

@dianesoini Рік тому

Looks like a real nice do-everything pack. I'm happy to see you entering the gear world with all your experience.

@DarwinOnthetrail Рік тому

Thanks! Been in it for a while, but doing it for other companies. Definitely felt like it was time for my own tho! 😉

@takingawalkadventures Рік тому

I love the different styles of the packs and the overall design of the pack. and how you were able to test out the pack in different areas of the world. I wish you all the best looking forward to seeing what is next

@DarwinOnthetrail Рік тому

Stay Tuned for much more!

@Pouncerman Рік тому

Man it’s great to see you back! Always respected your opinions and your passion for what you do. The pack looks awesome, best of luck!

@joshuadoss1955 Рік тому

I am proud and excited that you are doing this. Looks like a very well sorted pack. Onward and upward.

@timryder5557 Рік тому

Darwin, thanks for all you do to inspire others to get out there. I'm 69 yrs young and have always been an outdoor person, but since checking out your videos, you have breathed a new passion in me for the trail. My wife and have fallen in love with the San Juan's so seeing the videos you provide us, offers places we never or maybe ne v er will see, so thanks from the bottom of my heart. Someday hope to catch up with you, have a Margaritas or two, and grow a friendship. Evolved Supply! Awesome! That's giving back!

@JJ-mf8ru Рік тому

What a great design! Good to see you back Darwin, and congratulations on Evolved! I’m glad this video came out now! Cheers from the tropics! 😊

@Castellanos334 Рік тому

@HeyItsTim Рік тому

This pack looks great. I like how it seems to hold everything slim and tight against your back. And I like how it's made of recycled materials too. Good luck with your company, and, looking forward to seeing what's coming.

Thanks for the updates Darwin, I'm happy to hear that you are doing well

@user-hl9ks3nq5g Рік тому

I own a GG Mariposa and I love it. I've always wanted to try out a roll top bag but I've had my reservations about them/money, but this bag is really tempting me. The outer mesh pocket along with the bottom mesh pocket has me very excited. I love how it's been created with recycled plastic but somehow still looks high-quality and rugged. Can't wait to see more of these on the trail. Maybe I'll get one and have the Mariposa as a backup bag/bag for my buddies. Can't wait to see what else you have planned Darwin! Any time you post a video, it's an automatic like for me lol

@spencert8125 Рік тому

dude i hiked like 2300 miles of the pct this year. fires got in the way of some of it. but your videos started out my journey. thanks man and happy holidays to you and yours

100% onboard, got one as soon as it was available. Looks to be my ideal bag, everything the Evlv was missing and everything that was great about it.

@PatagoniaTrekking Рік тому

@aaronsilver1975 Рік тому

Congrats on Evolved and the Ranger. I like the dark colors and it does remind me of an old black canvas pack I had, drawstring top, leather straps and gold buckles

@DarwinOnthetrail Рік тому

Thanks! That’s what we we’re going for. 🤙

@billb5732 Рік тому

Great new project. We were vaguely concerned about your apparent lack of direction in your last vid. Nice recovery. Good luck with your new venture.

@kevinludwig1873 Рік тому

There’s a lot of smart ideas here. Thicker camera daisy chain is something I’ve been asking for for awhile. I’ve stuck with my HMG pack (which I do love, but…) simply because I could run the Peak Design clip around the shoulder strap completely. Modular top strap is key. Nice job, man.

@alexmarchica5264 Рік тому

What a well thought out backpack. Love the recycled material! Way to go dude! Never stop improving/innovating!

@AusCelticsFan Рік тому

It’s great to see you again Darwin!! I’m very impressed by the Ranger. It looks a really snug fitting pack with plenty of options. I hope I can get one sent down here to Oz 🇦🇺. Thanks mate, and happy holidays!

@aurtisanminer2827 Рік тому

I’ve been a fan of framed packs so far but this one’s pretty appealing to me. Having options is really nice, too!

@robopkins Рік тому

It's the combo of load lifters AND a bottom pocket for me. I've been looking for all of these features on a UL pack for ages.

@haydenratliff4524 Рік тому

Hey Darwin! Really happy for you and congrats on launching the pack. I’m curious about the lower mesh pocket - what so you think it could be used for besides trash storage? Also, was it durable enough to avoid tearing since it’s on the bottom of the bag?

@michaelbeasley4923 2 місяці тому

Just ordered one of these packs. Very excited to try it out!

@musingwithreba9667 Рік тому

Good to see you! And the new pack it looks pretty cool. I love that it's made from recycled material!

@melindaadams6520 Рік тому

Damn. So good to hear your voice and see your face. You look great. What a great price for that pack! However I haven't managed to get my pack that light yet. Good luck to you and your company and of course, Happy Trails!

@DeviorBlake Рік тому

Feels like a great pack. Not just as a hiking accessory, but as a part of your EDC.

@noahbarrier5462 Рік тому

Great to see you again glad your still here I love the pack and all the features but my torso length is 23” will you be coming out with a larger size in the future

@aquarius90450 Рік тому

I'm a sun hoodie fanatic and I have around 20ish in all varieties of fabrics. I can't wait to see what yours is all about!

@GoingSoloOutdoors Рік тому

Really impressed with the materials and features. Aside from that, it’s also just a damn good looking pack! Nice Job!

@gideonstitt9995 Рік тому

How much load carry capacity do you find the hip belt adds versus without it? Considering the frameless design and relatively small attachment points versus a sewn in hip belt, I'm interested in how much weight really gets transferred to the hips. Awesome looking pack with a fantastically well thought out design!

@meganshields8530 Рік тому

Carrying a bear canister has been my nemesis... the Y strap looks like a brilliant solution!

@lancevanoirschot Рік тому

I’ve been looking for a new pack for my trek thru the tour du Mont Blanc at the end of June. Super excited to pick this up and see how it preforms! Cheers from 🇨🇦 ✌🏼

@Eyedbythetiger Рік тому

I’m in! Thanks for posting. It reminds me of the good ol days when I could count on Darwin to bring me to a hiking trail with him.

@MarkPhillippo Рік тому

Really good looking pack! I like the trash pocket, that is brilliant! I’ve tried frameless before it it just wasn’t my thing but I’d have to rethink it for this one. Good to see you again.

@harrisonaero 9 місяців тому

Bought my wife a Ranger and we just did the TMB with full tent camping gear and many trail variants including the full Refuge Robert Blanc and the pack worked great. Thanks Darwin!

@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING Рік тому

Looks amazing! Love the pocket on the bottom. Nice addition on the webbing for a camera clip. Brilliant design. Only questions is...what if my torso is longer than 18...mine is 22-23...Will you be making one a little longer later? Crow

@deniswhite1534 Рік тому

Congratulations on the new company and a Great looking pack! Hopefully you’ll be able to offer a longer torso and longer shoulder strap options in the future to fit us bigger hikers, thanks

@TravelswithRosie Рік тому

Looks nice, sharing some features with the Atoms packs over here in the UK :)

@DryBonesOutdoors Рік тому

I just designed a backpack for my new product design course, and I used the ECOPACK material for my design. The material seems like it would be a backpack designers dream material. It seems like a much better option than DYNEEMA. Love the ranger and I may have finally found my dream pack. Plus I'm a huge fan of your podcast.

@michellemcintosh1061 Рік тому

welcome back!!! missed you!! so happy to see your face! i know you stopped the youtube...but i wish you had films about the minimal packing in those epic places!

@kdavis4910 Рік тому

He does, but content is now behind a pay wall.

@justinw1765 Рік тому

Nice pack. Dark polyester will also have a really good UV resistance long term as well. So while the fibers/fabric will start off with a lower strength per weight than nylon, over time, it will start to equal out.

@Wraith35 Рік тому

AWESOME!!!!! DUDE GLADE TO SEE YOU!!!!

@dirtbagoutside Рік тому

I might have to check this out. Looks and sounds ideal.

@joel.wuestehube Рік тому

Well it could be said that you got lost in the side quests here. You set out to find the perfect bag. Instead you ended up not only building one but an entire company. Like in Skyrim when you are looking for a better sword but end up working in a forge for hours 😂 But seriously amazing work dude, I hope you found your happy place again

Good pack and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I have a 21 inch torso, would that affect the performance of this pack ?

It's much better to publish infrequent yet high quality videos, than to churn out blah content every week like most other youtubers. Yay Darwin!

@robopecha Рік тому

yes! this looks like a great design. really really pretty compared to all the other ul packs out there. i would need a shorter torso length though. and i feel like i wanna come up with a few more color options in the same style (preferably an orange one).

@brandonsmith1647 Рік тому

@Amilliondreams87 10 місяців тому

I'm excited for this pack, I've literally used a walmart pack for a couple years bc it weighed 2.0Ibs. I wanted to change it out but simply wanted the mesh front, bottom mesh, & roll top without the added weight and crazy colors of the UL packs on the market. I am concerned I'll still need a bigger capacity bag for winter hiking but I'll see if my gear fits 😅 I'm definitely considering this for my future hikes this season though. Nostalgic colors for the win.
