Hi,

These videos are fantastic! thank you for sharing them!

I wanted to ask if you made your straps or purchased them, if so from where? And how did you attach them?

Thank you!

Hi Jill,

Is possible to buy a kit and instructions without the straps? I have some vintage military webbing and hardware that I would like to use instead of the options you provide.

Thanks!

Hello! When will the medium backpack kits be back in stock? I would wish to order two kits – one with fish harness and the other with groovy flowers! Thank you.

Hi Staci:

You asked how much material is required to weave the Adirondack Backpack. There are 13 different types of reed included in the Adirondack Backpack kit to make the basket. So, I’m not sure how to answer your question. I you haven’t wove a basket in a while I would encourage you to purchase the kit and watch the video. With the accompanying pattern directions you should do fine weaving up my version of the Adirondack Backpack.

Here’s the links in case you’re interested:

This tutorial has me very excited to revisit the basket making I did about 20 years ago when I was a girl scout! Thank you for sharing! One question I have is regarding the materials. Since I am very new to basket making, approximately how much material do you need to complete this basket? Thank you!

This video series is fantastic. I’ve been making/teaching pack baskets for six years, and was looking for some new inspiration and tips, when I happened upon your videos. Fantastic. Oh, AND, I live about ten minutes from Western Pleasure. Small world!

Hi,

I just received my kit to make the large pack basket. I am so excited! I have watched all the videos regarding this basket however, I have never done a false rim. Is there a video for finishing the basket or is it the same as any other basket?

Thank you,
Heidi
P.S. Thank you for the Tootsie rolls!!! What a sweet surprise!
