This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the

Carrying gear through the woods in your arms is fine, but if you have a lot of gear, it's a pain. Let's build a back pack frame!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a backpack frame with shoulder straps
- Sized to fit your back
- All connections are done with lashings or knots
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Most of the materials you're starting with
- Pack frame midway through the build
- Finished backpack frame
- You wearing the backpack frame
