How to Seam Seal Your Pack (Superior Wilderness Designs)

I finally took some time to seam seal my Superior Wilderness Designs (SWD) frameless pack. The SWD is made out of X-Pack, a waterproof material. However, rain can penetrate through the stitching and find its way into the pack (I learned the hard way). This method will work on just about any pack, but obviously you would probably only want to do so if your pack material is waterproof (otherwise, what's the point?) and the seams aren't already sealed/taped. I chose to use a mixture of 100% silicone (the hardwear store kind will work) with mineral spirits. The mineral spirits acts to thin out the silicone so it's not as thick, making it easier to apply to the pack and make its way into the seams. I chose to seam seal my pack from the inside (turn the pack inside out), but it's possible to seam seal from the outside if you prefer.

If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there! Dan
