Making a Backpack from Birch Bark - Finnish Folk

The process of making a backpack made of birch bark. A homemade traditional take on the factory produced options on the market, or perhaps for some, a survival backpack . Weaving is a primitive technology often forgotten but is a good project for bushcraft development or simply because it's a very alluring skill to learn. Birch bark is a great material, it can also be used for axe sheath, knife sheath, canoe, roofing for shelters, belts, foraging baskets, shoes and more. Weaved backpacks in birch bark are great for trips in the wild; some weaves can be pulled out (and replaced later) to be used for fire making. The best time to harvest birch bark is between May and beginning July; depending on your location and year. The bark will grow back and the tree will continue to grow if the cambium was not damaged during the harvesting. The cambium is the layer between the bark and the wood pulp. The new bark will be dark in color, so choosing discrete trees spread through a wide area is a good aesthetic thing to do, or simply take from trees that will be destined for firewood due woods management. In this video, I take the bark of a standing tree that is dying; I did it for demonstration, but the bark of dead trees in my location is not good and I do it uncareful as tree has no future. I recommend to search for better examples, on living trees. If the birch bark is not good in your location or you do not own permission to harvest; birch bark can be purchased from sustainable sources. UPdate: -There is another way to reenforce the opening of the backpack, I will be doing a video to supplement this one showing how to strengthen the opening without twine. If you would like to know it and the video happens to not be online yet, feel free to contact me on fb for an explanation. Notes: -To have an idea of the final size of this backpack, I used weaves of 2,8 cm (a bit more than an inch) and weaved 12 weaves on 12. The backpack is around 53x43x13 CM or around 20x17x5 IN. I am 160 cm; A bigger person can weave a bigger backpack. -the smallest backpack shown in the video, is made with the same weaves of 2,8 cm but it has for base 10 on 10 weaves. A great size for a day pack or foraging. -Bedrolls or tools can be easily attached outside of the backpack in between the weaves. thank you for stepping by!
