Today I have whit me the Fallkniven F1
Its a very well-know knife, compact but tough, one of the best for the bushcraft
I want to made an A-frame back pack, its an emergency back-pack of course.I use the F1 to cut and work some woods, batoning on it
no problems at all, the F1 blade cut easily woods fibers truncating the branches.
And thats what I get, two branch long as my arm, and another one branch a bit shorter
they will be the A frame of the backpack
Now, its matter to tie them, its better to made some carving, the knots will be more secured
Here we are, the structure is tied and solid
Now, I use my shemagh as a sac, and I tie it to the backpacks structure
Last but not least, the shoulder brackets, Ill do them using a single rope long 2,5 metres
My survival back pack its done, the total weight (back pack + items in the sac) is 6 kg more or less, and its enough comfortable, I could hike a long trail whit it
Conclusions: the Fallkniven F1 didnt need to be commented a lot, its one of the most known bushcraft knife. He helped me a lot doing this emergency backpack, has a great cutting efficiency and a comfortable handle, also when hands are wet and frozen
