I am truly blown away…thank you! This has taken over a year to do, and I’m really proud, especially to have this made in Britain. Cheers guys! - Mike

The fact that the bag doesn't roll around like other bags do already sold me.

I am from the USA and I love it when products are emphasized when they are made in the companies home country. Much love to our English brothers!!

I'm not saying I'm an expert but 15 years military and 30 years outdoor experience, this looks like a canny pack. Waterproof and I like the upright feature. Well done Mike!👍

Made in Britain is very impressive, you should be sure to emphasis that way more! I work in fashion and that is a true mark of quality, makes it much more desirable nowadays too.

l love that you use LOCAL CRAFTSMEN the way it should be

Looks like the Swedish LK35 and Dutch Air Force Day Sack had a love child... A sweet beautiful love child! Well done!

I'm from the US and I love your business philosophy. Good for your!

Absolutely love the fact you have kept the manufacturing within the UK and with smaller businesses, love the design, really well thought through! Top Job.

Wow, you have designed your own backpack, how cool is that, worth a look, cheers.

Dude looks like a really nice pack! My favorite part is that it DOESN'T ROLL AROUND! You said it's a petty feature, I completely disagree. Awesome feature. I like the brown one

Very clever design! I like the modular pack idea and the simple and rugged design. Also major KUDOS for getting it made in BRITAIN and supporting local craftsmen! I hope you hit your goal and sell out and continue to make more. Keep the course, support your local community and most importantly keep having fun! Cheers from Canada

Looks like a quality pack and I love the the smaller oacks made to fit inside perfectly. I can appreciate the fact that you made them in your home country of Britain. Being myself from the USA we like to try and buy American products. But I would definitely buy from you when I'm ready for a new backpack.

Good Evening from across the pond in Nashville Tn., have just started watching your channel as well as your dads in the last month. As a carpenter and hunter/ fisherman and avid outdoorsman I truly enjoy the DIY’S and the bushcraft building. I have learned a lot from Graeme about different fishing techniques and rigs that we would of never thought to use here in the states for the species we target,Flathead and Blue Catfish as well as Carp. I’ve always wanted to vacation in England on a pheasant or grouse shoot, and since watching your channel I now want to do a fishing vacation there. My Aunt Chris,whom has passed on now, is from Braintree and since I was a child she always peeked my interest in England. By showing me letters and photos from “back home”,as well as introducing me to the BBC programs such as Keeping Up Appearances,Eastenders,Are You Being Served etc. But as an American stuck here during this C-19, I’m able to see the English and Irish country side through your channels. Thank you for all the hard work and videos you both put out,and congratulations on becoming a dad Mike and a Grandad Graeme.

Some lucky people getting a really nice bag or full loadout. Very well thought out kit. I may have to donate or sell on of my other packs to get my hands on one of those brown loadouts. Congrats on selling out as fast as you did. That's great to see people really supporting great youtubers who make great content! Also if this is just the beginning of you designing and having your own line of gear this is an epic start. Can't wait to see more! Love that your supporting local and supporting your country. I try and do that here in the US also but I like supporting the little guys from other countries also.

Excellent job Mike. I see a number of comments on here regarding price, and it just shows how dependent we've become on Amazon, and Made in China rubbish. A quality, bespoke item is going to be dear, especially if it's made in country, and the fact that it's been designed by an actual bushcrafter, makes it a bargain, as it will work, and last a lifetime. Cheers...Mike from Canada!

Brian should make those pouches with thermal insulated liners also and it's awesome that you are supporting made in the UK products. People should support that idea more than anything.

Great vid, great products and made in my own country. The big issue for me therefore will be the pricing of all that kit. As you told us, they are made by small, even tiny 'companies' so I dread to imagine how much each item costs. In fact, I don't even want to know. Someone's comment has already assured me that the pricing is way OTT in comparison to other products. Well done for achieving your dream of branding your own products but they certainly would never be for me. Each to their own and fair play to all who can afford British-made products. I worked for a British manufacturer in the audio industry and I was STUNNED by the pricing of our products. Oh well. Well done again, TA Outdoors man. (Can't see your name advertised anywhere)

Good thoughtful purposeful design Mike and I love that you’re supporting local craftsmen. Great job!

The packs are nice. They are quick, short and to the point as far as accessibility.

I think I her my credit card whimpering. Love the Full Load Out package! Best I start saving my money! Awesome job and looking forward to seeing some adventures with it .

That pack looks absolute amazing. So simple, so good. Everything one could hope for, and no unnecessary bells and whistles. Can't wait till it's back in stock!

Very well designed and for someone with OCD this is perfect as the packing of my usual pack stresses me out as it's not organised where this solution is perfect and they fit symmetrically into the pack. Love it.

Reminds me very much of my Italian rucksacks, but better in every way. I think you have a winner.

Very, very impressed with the design and quality of this pack. I have been looking for something exactly like this since leaving the army, high quality, functional, non military looking pack. Just ordered the the brown pack version. I think this will be worth the wait.

I think it is absolutely fantastic that you are supporting the local small businesses ! I also really like the gear !

This looks to be one of the best packs I've ever seen. Great idea, I love your work.

Just ordered mine Mike ,well impressed amazing pack and made in Britain very important to me well done mate

I like everything about this pack. Simple,strong,local, I’m getting one!

Top man!!! Once I'm back in to work I be definitely buying from you and I respect that your making everthing in Britain makes me happy and proud to be British

Very well executed design! What I actually appreciate is the light tan interior, especially in the olive pack. That makes seeing items inside the pack so much easier!

Magnificent piece of kit mate, preordered. I hope your poor local craftsmen don't end up overwhelmed!

Great to see you supporting local craftsmanship! Awesome stuff, keep it up!

I applaud you choosing to make your gear in home Mike. Congratulations on the launch of your own line of gear! 👏👏👏🤘🤘

Wow, Mike that bag is awesome. Extremely well thought out, Congratulations.

This is genius. I really love the idea and vision of these packs and bags. Proud of what you've managed to accomplish.

Congratulations! Excellent gear and well done for getting it all designed and made hear in Britain. Never more important to support smaller businesses than right now! I hope it continues to do well for you.

Those are GREAT! packs and I LOVE the modular cube system.

Having a bag that stays upright is not petty. Well done

Perfect. Wish I saw it yesterday. Been watching for a good bit. Wonderful to see you come into your own. Great job!!!

I have been tying to find a affordable cool bushcraft and camping backpack for a LONG time and I have been a subscriber for a while too so when I saw THIS!!!!

Outstanding pack and great design, it has all the features most people will need. Even better that you designed it for your needs. If you're open to suggestion, I have one minor one: add a strap of webbing, maybe the same the front straps, to the bottom of the center "axe sleeve" to create an open bottom pocket. This will increase the overall storage space and allow you to choose between using it as a storage pocket or axe sleeve, whichever you need for that particular trip. Thanks for all your great videos -- keep doing what you're doing.

Nice! It's good to see something that has a lot of thought in it's design as well as deliberate quality. The camera bag is the icing on the cake for me and I am sure many others.

they look really good. Thank you so much for your careful use of words to include all the countries that make up Great Britain. I wish we had had something like this when we did first aid duties at pony club events it would have made life a lot easier to reach things in the kit.

Good on you brother! Keep it local, love it.

We got a lot of awesome ideas from your videos. Our customers will surely love your channel. We will share this with them to get knowledgeable things about bushcraft. Thanks for creating this channel!

Wow u done a amazing job with this bag it looks amazing well done stay safe

Looks very well-thought-out well done we all know you British guys make good stuff looks tough as nails and Bulletproof good job

Good looking pack man! Hope it takes off well and good on you for bringing business to the little local guys! That is awesome!

great to see how enthusiastic you are about your new line of gear :) I like the made in Britain angle as well and am hoping that this trend starts here in canada as well. Its time to take back the pride of quality products made at home. Good Job Skøl

Congratulations on creating a fantastic pack. After viewing many of your videos, I have no doubt the quality is exceptional.

If I may make a suggestion for the next batch. A small flap that covers the zippers on the side pockets. Will keep dirt and debris out of the zipper itself and provides water runoff to keep the zipper and stitching dry.

The common 1L pop bottle makes a good canteen. I live in the desert. I don't leave home without water. My pack has a pair of drawstring pockets in addition to the classic 3 pocket cluster that are a perfect fit for my canteens. I don't buy packs with zippers. They give out in 2 months. I save brass Levis zippers from scrap jeans and sew them inside the blown plastic zippers, but it is an arduous repair. I want drawstrings or I don't buy. I love your webbing reinforcement of the drawstring. Great innovation. All my packs tear there. Durable nylon is great stuff. You might want to give cotton more consideration. Yeah, it frays all to hell in 5 years but a pack gets a lot of handling and use as a pillow, and cotton is more comfortable. Knew a guy who preferred natural fiber sails on his live in boat. The plastics have obvious advantages. He said the cotton or flax or whatever gave him a great sense of comfort. Not as strong, shorter wear life, have to dry them often, but worth it to him. From the supplier viewpoint, another sale in a few years. I don't throw out the worn out packs. They still hold laundry or mending and such. Hard to part with an old friend. Alice is the bachelor's wife. PS A combination draw string and flap on pockets might be good. More versatile. Drawstring at the top leaves an entry for rain. Sleeping bag zippers are more durable if you must use the damned things. Milspec are metal, but the plastics hold up ok. I just don't want to be making high tech repairs back of beyond. Your price is off putting. Mil surplus may not be ideal, but it doesn't break the bank. Think about sales and advantages. You have good ideas. Your prices reflect custom making. Offer a catalog of designs and custom make what customers want. Make by cottage industry. Patent as you go. Make sure it is international or it isn't worth doing. Let your customers help you design. There once was a college with new grounds and everyone was after the pres. to pour sidewalks because the muddy tracks were unsightly. He refused for some time. When the paths became evident, he poured where the people had been walking. If you lay concrete where you want, the public responds by cutting paths where they want. This method saves unsightly dirt tracks showing up after the job is done. Now the oriental export business is showing it's flaws. I made an order last spring that has yet to show up. The longshoremen quit when the flu showed up. I understand the port is crammed with ships. I need a bike but can't get one. Once the Chinese see your design, they may knock it off. You could have them make part of your run. Can locals compete? Well, if not, can you draw a happy medium? Pass around a few for free to club types. Get them used and seen. Your brand is an ad for free exposed by travel. Make it big. Don't hide it like you are ashamed of it. You will find in time salesmanship pays you better than craftsmanship. Selling a product you are proud of is better for the spirit. Good luck. Mind the odds.

Incredible design. I’m obsessed with bags and rarely find one with all the right designs. Congrats on the bag! Brilliant.

Really nice! Hope to see more gear from you and Britain 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing looking bag. You can see a lot of hard work on it. I thoroughly enjoy the modular pouches. Keep up the great work.

That's a great system! I love how you incorporated all the main needs of a bushcraft pack that you really cant find often. I'd love to see a tan version too

Been gone from here awhile. Awesome bag. Pray all is well with you and family from Vegas.

Looks like a well thought out system. i look forward to picking one up next year. all the best, keep up the good work.

Most excellent looking pack! I'm in for a green; can't wait! Cheers from Oregon.

Not a bad design and no doubt based on experience, if I may I would add a snow collar to the inside and the side pouches might be better without zippers but with lids the same as the main bucket. Maybe also loops so one could fasten it to their bush belt or any support belt? Not a bad design though, good for you bringing these to market!

Looks really well thought out and a good system. Now all you need is your own sleep system, rain gear and tent line of products!

Nice pack Mike! Thanks for showing us. 👍😁

I hear your excitement and passion, awesome! Your thought and care in producing quality gear. Well Done!😃👍

I want one of these for my birthday next summer... How wonderful that they are sold out on the first 24-48 hours. Love the videos!

They are awesome mate, defo a buy after Christmas so im hoping you do make more.. I love the extras they will make packing a hell of a lot easier.. Absolutely awesome pack mate cant say it enough. Keeping it british mate what a legend fair play to you mike..... take care stay safe

Looks like a well thought out design. Really like the brown colour!

Well done Mike - it’s great to do what you really want to do. Looks like great kit. Obviously designed through experience. And it’s brilliant that you’ve gone with local craftsmen rather than getting cheap crap from China. The only really minor change I would make is that I would put the flat pouch inside the pack on the other side of the pack - that way if you put a plate, cutting board, grill etc it won’t dig into your back.

good on you for trying to bring back some work to your area, even at a cost to yourself. If more people did this, the old times might return little by little. best wishes for you and your products

Glad we got a bushcraft related vid. Keep em coming please

I love that you went with local craftsmen dispute being cheaper to outsource. I'm American and I will often spend a little extra money just to support local small businesses. Itsy very respectable, what you're doing. Keep up the good work I've just recently discovered your channel, the things you've been building are fascinating and inspiring some future projects of my own

Two suggestions that come from military experience: one strap should have a quick release, so helpful when you want to unload at the end of a long day, or if rushed to remove (as in hunting situations); also, the cover should have a zippered pocket for small things that you want to access without opening the bag. Otherwise, super design and fabrication. Congratulations! From Canada.

Products look great!!!! I love the modular system, i will be looking to get the whole pack, waiting for pay day....end of the month.. I'm so glad that british manufacturing is happening on home ground as you stated. Its the "BEST" i think.... Well done to you for promoting home grown products.... Keep it up Aamir, berkshire

Congratulations! Awesome progress for you!!

Fantastic work mate, heirloom quality for sure. Great to see such passion for made in Britain.

very cool, I like the details that make this pack unique and well thought out. Nice job!

Love the packs, and would definitely consider getting one if they weren't already sold out lol. Perhaps for a version 2.0 theres a few things I personally would consider; - I'd look at removable zip on side pouches (u zip style), to allow some access behind to slide down an axe/folding saw etc. I think this would give a bit of extra functionality. - A hydration bladder tie off point in the inside of the bag in the small compartment, along with a feeding slot and a clip/tie down point on one of the shoulder straps. - some kind of small waist belt just for added comfort. Great pack mate, hope to get one in the future!

It's a very nice back pack , awesome....thank for sharing with us....

WOW! Truly an Awesome bag! I also Love the inside packs that fit “perfectly” inside the bag! Well done👍🏼👍🏼 I’m sold!!!

Only suggestion would be some compression straps on top as well, so you could put a tent on the bottom and sleeping bag on top.

Great product and it's obvious that you have put a lot of thought into the design. It's out of my budget for a backpack but I'm glad to see you have had a lot of demand for it. Keep up the good work!

I need to get these ASAP. Especially those foraging pouches. Lovely.

Nice packs and pouches. Well designed. I can tell you are well chuffed with these. They will sell like hot cakes i'm sure. Next year there should be lots of 'Show us your TA trekker pack' videos from those who buy them. 😀

Love that pack! I would l like to see a larger version of it. Not a huge 80+ liter pack, but a pack that has room for more than this and has a hip belt/strap.

Nice stuff Mike. Looking forward to seeing you using this in the field, which will give a better idea of its capabilities.

Totally awsome, that this, obviously very new designed, backpack is no longer hidden from the woodsmen! 😊

Super! No surprise that these sold out already! Great quality and well thought out!

They look amazing, great job Mike

Brilliant! You guys have worked up an amazing piece of kit there, I'm really impressed. I do have a few suggestions for improvements, though. 1: Put larger loops on the back corners of those pouches, so that you can attach them to a belt or to a shoulder strap, or even molly style to the outside of the pack. 2: Make the rigid padding for the back detachable, so that it can be used for a dry seat when you get to camp. 3: Make the stool cover much wider, so that large guys like myself can sit down without having our knees up around our ears. Hope this helps.

This is so cool! I hope to get all your stuf because I like to help the "little guys" and you put a lot of thought into this stuff! I plan to get them for my 3 kids and my self. I'm so excited. I hope to get them before camping this summer.

Thank you, Sir. I am in the process of sewing together a rucksack copied from the Frost River Isle Royal Senior, but you just gave me some new ideas on what to include. The only issue I see with your pack is the zips... which overtime like snaps tend to fail. It's just a thought and personal preference. Keep the good content coming. Cheers

Unfortunately just bought a new back pack otherwise I would have been in there. Very well done for making it a British product. Wish you good luck with this.

Thank you , Mike .

Some lovely features here, would love to try this out. Thank you Mike. I particularly like the KISS principle and you have made a system that is simple without being cheap or ineffective. The proof will be in the hard yards of use, and it looks like this will take a beating. Which I like.

Cool glad to see you coming out with your own gear.

Nice pack and pouches thx for sharing

It reminds me of the Dutch Army daypack.👍

Wow! Love these packs! Congrats on selling out maybe I'll get one next round!

Great desing! Seems really well made... Fantastic presentation! How cool that you produce them locally. Much love from Switzerland

Very similar design to the canvas East German military surplus pack I bought about 20 years ago, for about $10. that I still love and use.
