hi fags /out/ here. how hard is to make a backpack that looks

not very, but it'd be cheaper and easier to buy a better one

I imagine buying the cordura, webbing, zippers, little clips and shit in small quantities is going to cost more than the $150 or whatever they sell them for.

yeah but it's such a simple design that I have hard time paying $200 for it.
thanks anyways lads.

pretty easy, you can essentially see the patterns you'd need to cut out plainly in that picture

That looks like the GoRuck pack. I'm sure it's pretty well made, as I'm wearing their indestructible cordura hat right now.

But you can get a used Blackhawk 3-day bag for like $40 on ebay. The straps are superior to the goruck stuff and feature the same heavy cordura and no noise YKK zippers. These pop up a lot on gov. surplus resellers since they are a milspec supplier to lot by gov/dod folks.

the best option is to just get some shitty knapsack and reinforce it yourself.

I asked a tailor how much it would cost to make a simple large duffel bag. They quoted me something like $50-70. I'm assuming the majority is labor cost because the material is cheap. Wound up just buying a fancier one off the shelf for $20.

So unless you do the sewing yourself, it won't be cheaper than buying. And you're going to need a beefy sewing machine to sew through multiple layers of tough material.

That is a good point, watch out for 3 day bags. They are fucking massive and the picture makes them deceptively look like a small backpack.

If you want a tacticool small backpack then what you want is an assault or day pack.
