Whether you're making or buying a framed pack, it's important to understand how that frame works and what type you might want. In this episode, we talk about the different frame types that are out there and how you can make them yourself. Or know what to look for from a pre-made product.

Our guest today is a good friend of the show, Brandon McIntyre. As co-founder of Superior Wilderness Designs, Brandon has a lot of experience sourcing, shaping, and using pack frames.
