To me the frame suggests it's meant to sit on the waist via a belt, and is simply 'propped upright' using shoulder straps, rather than carried on the shoulders, which would be uncomfortable with big loads and renders the frame a bit pointless. The frame allows the load to sit on the waist instead, and this is still used by modern backpacks - it enables big loads to be supported on the waist (the body's strongest pivot) without the load digging into the shoulders. But a very informative video, I'd love to make my own such pack! Keep it up Shawn!

I recall listening to one video explaining the moccasins having a structure made from cordage out of the inner bark of a certain tree. It would have gotten a lot of abuse considering the task. Wondering about the grass option. Why not the same used elsewhere? Maybe took longer to develop enough. The grasses could be done while at an evening campfire before sleeping.

Old but interesting. Though the actual bag you added to it seems...rather small. Enough that the frame seems a bit extraneous. Granted, if Edric is correct about the idea of supporting the frame by a belt, at least whatever you could stuff in that pack would be more comfortably carried over a day's travel.
@teatowel11

Did Otzi have a bedroll? Wasn't he found naked? In my opinion you took the hard way of making that cordage, try twisting the opposite direction. Twisting away from you and then wrap over and twist the next strand. Idk, it just looks like the way you do it is harder. In any case, this is good stuff man, I agree with Livinghistoryschool, you should make the boots next.

Snow? boil it? Any poys or pans or cups? 5,000 years I am sure are all gone now. At least this is a basic surviva kit that got man to survive.. shelter? I am sure he made due with what was around.Food? eat and catch anything.Ancient fish hooks are around, and I an sure nets 5,000 years old are long gone.. rotted.

I guess I don't understand why you or Otzie would use average grass the grass's I have experimented with were strong until they dried then they were weak and brittle. There's probably some grass's that are strong wet or dry, Like slender Rush,....and tree bark cordage is very strong. But as I understand it it was after an ice age and only a few woods were available. Here's what don't make sense his coal catcher was made of Burch bark,....your strutting around the mountain and your engulfed in flames burch is flamible,........ fire starting was 2 rocks and a mushroom? No fat wood? I'd say his back pack and his his knife and holster and shoes and quiver, arrows and bow were a great look back into the past and the copper axe was greater still. The movie Iceman is great.
