Outstanding!!! "Brotherhood of Preppers", "A Community". And, I too was stuck in a traffic jam for 8 Hours!!! Count'm...Eight Hours on Donnar Pass, I-80 east of Reno, NV as a result of a Rock Slide. Every aspect of my bag came into play that night to include a young boy who has cut his foot trekking into the Forest to Pee. I met two types, preppers like us drinking coffee, listening to portable CB radios. And then those who had nothing at all. Not even drinking water.

Really enjoyed the video and all the detail. Putting my first bag together and cant believe how many videos I have found on here. I rank your's (which I added to my favorites) as one of the top 5. Thanks for taking the time to make it, really helped me out a lot.

I like the velcro idea on the excess straps. Thanks for the other ideas too. As you say, having this type of gear with you can be handy in everyday life, it's really not all about the end of the world as we know it.

I really like the idea of wrapping paracord around the handle of your bag.

What a great idea with the paracord. I dont know why I didn't think of that but i'm definitely going to do that soon.

Love it. Extras to think about adding could be: Baby powder for dry feet Extra socks Work gloves Sillcock key for water access in a pinch. Other than that your all set brother! Love your vids and even go back through them.

The cord on the handle is a wonderful idea

Never worry about unused space. I find most people overload because they think that way. Too many folks use the concept " two is one, one is none"

Excellent job with the video, thanks. I have a Condor and just ordered the Falcon II, should be here sometime next week. I also just ordered the EDC Pouch. Thanks for the great ideas!

great ideas I'll have to do with mine once it comes in. Thanks for sharing

Great bag, great setup, one thing I didn't see is a bandana, always useful too many to name, but I would say a must have in any bag, again great setup brother

I'm glad you did that safety check. One bullet did fly out.

I've been watching EDC videos for a decade, and your's is my favorite. The Falcon II is a great EDC bag, but I think people are too tempted to load it up with WAY too much stuff. I like the spartan contents of yours. Well done, Sir!

Great channel. Nice EDC. Keep the high quality vids coming. Subscribed!

Great vid! True, your B.O.B or EDC is always changing, and you can always learn something new....Its great how most of us carry the same stuff though.!! except I have a SIG in mine....

Great video like set up and frame of mind

You have a pretty awesome setup.

I agree with u not everything will be the impending apocalypse scenario that you would need food and water. I am with CERT and they train us to be prepared for everything, anything can happen at any moment so its best to have food and water at all times. I wish my family would understand that they always roll there eyes when i discuss this. Oh well. Great video i enjoyed watching it.

Dude you just mase me decide to get one if those packs. great vid

I got a lot of the same things you do. nice and simple. people go a bit overboard with their EDC bags

Good review. Nice video of the bag. Thxs for sharing.

Nice set up "BRO" !!!

great video. i am much more minimalist but i know that just means we love the same things. i dont know where you live but i take a nike windrunner packable jacket with me at all times in my edc bag. it has a hood and packs into its own pocket and turns into a 6"X4"X1.5" rectangle that can unfold at any time you encounter rain and keep you dry!

I got some great ideas. Nice video!

Nice review. Just got the Falcon 2 myself. Have other Maxpedition and 5.11 stuff. All good quality. Good loadout…and if it works for you than that’s the right one. Everyone is a bit different.

I was really considering the single sling SITKA GEARSLINGER but after all the negative reviews on lack of proper load weight ergonomics and shoulder back pain I'm now considering the Falcon 2! Thanks for the detailed review. I'm sure the iPad 2 in the rugged Otterbox case would slip in to the Falcon with no issue!

It's always nice to have a knife with you. II used to live in Alabama :)

freakin awsome idea on the paracord handle im going to build now.

Nice bag. Great contents. Didn't see change of clothes- u/wear, socks. Nice work.

You ever going to come back to youtube? You were and still one of my favorite video makers.

I was thinking about the falcon 2 for my edc because i have a couple maxpedition bags, but i actually ended up going with the Osprey Manta 30. its got a hyration bladder which i use for biking to work and it hugs your back, has an internal frame, and a mesh coating that distributes weight accross your back without actually touching the backpack; so you can feel the breeze on your back. its got DECENT pocket organization, but i really needed an ergonomic edc and the manta 30 is beast for that

Well organized! The middle pouch you're not fully uilizing would be a good place for a FroggTogg.

"'bros', oh my god...I can't believe I said that" Priceless! I enjoy your videos because you leave that stuff in. I am always amazed at the stupid statements that fall out of my mouth.

Good video JD. You got some great ideas. I have been watching youtube EDC videos like crazy to pick and choose good ideas for my personal EDC, considering my routes and location. I have come across a bag by Rothco that has side elastic pockets for water bottles. Also, these days, including a pair of latex gloves would be wise.

Good video. A stock Glock trigger is about a 5.5lb trigger pull. I would also recommend having something covering the trigger. Thanks for posting the vid

2:52 Nice touch with the Zelcro. I like using Ranger Bands to bind up me straps, and bind up my outside gear on a Molle.3:47 I like yer paracord handle idea, ganna give dat a Go. Excellent GEAR. Cheers ;-))

Good start, for a weapon maybe some soft armor in the water pocket. And for a spare Mag; maybe one or two G17 mags or a couple 33 round magazines. For non-lethal force some pepper spray and back up for that some Bear Spray. For back up for the cell phone use an AM/FM/WB radio with an ear bud to save on batteries. Lithium batteries store longer and like the cool weather better. Maybe an update and keep up the good work. Eyes UP and lights down, tjl Sent by Win7Pro64 w/ADSL

Everyday life can be worse than anything else. I live in Texas and it's frikin hot so I understand you brother.

good set up.

Please post a video on how you did the cobra stitch on the handle. Thanks brother

i did a review with a bag similar to yours, ive packed it to full for it to be comfortable but it still works haha. might get a new bag soon. nice vid

i liked the velcro staps thanks

This was a great video, and I'm being candid. I think the only thing I'd change would be to maybe scale back on how many knives and flashlights you have (a common issue with EDCs from YT Prepping folks) and focus more on batteries, a spare mag, perhaps a method of sharpening the knives you DO carry, and possibly a roll of cordage in a serious length (like 50 ft or more). In any case, you've got another subscriber.

Just got this bag... im loving it and plan on it being the same use.... i would suggest some sort of "tinder" im using mini inferno from canterbury and also some water purification tabs etc

u should move the fix blade to the arm strap nice and close id go up side down on strap great vid bro good job thanks man

I'm not one of those overly safe gun people, but I agree with most of the other posters. If you are in a situation where you don't have time to put a round in the chamber you may as well just grab the knife on the outside of your bag because it would be faster anyway. Not only that but the way you put it in your bag it is pointing at everyone you walk by. Nothing would make you look like a bigger d-bag then when you take this backpack in a restaurant, set it down and fire a round off.

Nice bag, I like your store. I have purchase a Klarus and a JetBeam flashlight from you store.

Wow, that's an impressive amount of gear. Id question how fast you can access your gun however, but if it works for you it's all good. Very good video, alot of good ideas and info

I think he said he lives in Alabama "roll tide" lol great set up I've got same bag knock off from condition1 got a few great tips from your setup. Sub'ed

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you carry your firearm on your person. In some situations you may not have time to open your bag and reach back to get your firearm. A glock 19 is a great IWB (Inside the Waist Band) Carry Gun. Also if you have one, stick a ruger 10/22 in the mid compartment for if shtf, you can hunt for food or fend off multiple attackers.

@AussieMark909 yep! And the velcro works extremely well. :)

I think overall you have a great set up, the only thing I would change is maybe consider putting your G26 in a small holster, just a little extra safety precaution!

@4estadventurer You definitely need a CCW permit. If the gun isn't openly visible, then it is considered carrying a concealed weapon.

I didn't see a pencil. Idk I might have missed it. Too many blades. U need a couple of oxy 80s for extreme pain. You may not need the whole thing so u can always split them in 1/2 or 1/4. Get one of those long bottles that crazy glue come in and put together a sewing kit! Hit your local fabric store and get an assorted pack of needles for 2-3 dollars to start off. Use you imagination for the rest. I also pin a couple safety pins inside my bag and even keep one on my keychain. I like to get some duct tape and ill wrap a good 10ft around one of my bic lighters. You can fashion a vapour/water barrier out of bicycle inner tube for at least one of your bic lighters. CRAZY GLUE!! Small package for BIG uses!! My favourite for annoying cuts that won't close. Love your bag! Jealous of your "carry" (Canada's weak spot=shit gun laws) Keep the great videos coming! Hope my suggestions helped some! Take care.

Good video

I've heard it's hard on the extractor of a pistol to load the chamber that way. The extractor has to "jump over" the rim of the case rather than having the case slide up under the extractor from the magazine. Something to consider if you do it much. Love your vids!

@pazach7 Thanks man. I plan on doing at least a few videos a week. Any suggestions?

think about keeping a main course from an MRE in the mid pocket for just in case since you do take it everywhere you go

great vid - i subbed your channel. hey, not sure if anyone has mentioned this but you don't want to load a pistol from the ejection port - it will ruin your extractor. always load from the magazine.

Max's sells a Concealed carry holster that Velcro's into the water blatter part of the bag, might be a better idea then just that top pocket:)

Oh, just subbed!

The SITKA is a good pack if your load is fairly light or if you don't plan to wear it all day long. I think its a good EDC option if used right. Not for a GHB bag though if the scenario you have a GHB for is walking home.

With a super light trigger, you might want to put that thing in a holster in your bag. Bind and catch it on something and you're going to have an Accidental Discharge. Put it in a holster and then put it in your bag.

Have you been able to see them in person? I was lucky enough to check out the falcon 2 and all of the gearslinger packs and the falcon is a dope backpack dude.

It might be better if you switch that huge compartment with the smaller one in front of with with you hats and what not so you can utilize that large one for extra clothes to take just in case. I liked your med kit I got the Max MR-1 it holds a lot and it isn't that much bigger then that Fatty you have on the Max. Excellent kit love it I like the knifes and there is a kind of a hidden compartment for your gun if you get the universal holder I think it's black you can hold you gun.

great video I like the the idea of keeping so much paracord in one bag. You have great gear in this bag. I do have one question though, I know this may sound odd but I am trying to get my wave on the outside of my Fatboy versipack so I was wondering if I could maybe have the extra molle sheath because my bag is black and a black sheath would work great with my bag. So if you would please reply with your response.

good video

Great system man... I think you did a great job... Bros...LOL

Great video! You have a lighter and steel but no tinder. May I suggest some cedar bark and dryer lint. The little thermometer is great, where can you get them? I would like to add them to my kit.

For my first-aid kit i use a maxpedition spartan wallet, and it holds everything for your first-aid needs, also its too big for the jean pocket carry

Certainly. Most armed forces members do indeed carry more than one knife, perhaps a folder, and some sort of fixed blade. Some however may not, as they will have to determine if it will be of use to them. Depending on your job you may have no need. You may not want the extra weight. While I agree it is always good to have at least one rock soled knife you can depend on, you can only better your situation by having more tools that will excel in specific areas. Also, a soldier may have different

@ewerstruly Haha! I really should pay more attention to what I say, especially when it's being recorded! It's all good though. Sometimes it's fun to not take yourself too seriously.

I would suggest a map of the areas you most frequently visit. You can live in an area your entire life and still not know half of what's there. Personally, I carry a map of the city where I live, where I work and a state highway map. You can never know too much about the area you're in.

I like seeing other peoples rigs too. Platypus GravityWorks filter, 10 oz in weight and 4 liters in 2 min (per website). Just found a video on it the other day. I plan on taking it with me on my up comming yosemite hike. My wife and I just purchased one. After that, it will hopefully earn a spot in my emergency bag. What's 10 oz and a piece of mind in a bug out scenario? Awesome video!

I didn't know know that disposable thermometers I'm gonna get one box of them. I'm planning on get a falcon 2 in your opinion for urban environment which color are more discrete the black or the beige and foliage? Thanks nice review

Nice Vid........SUBSCRIBED !!

Battleminion -I would consider the black more discrete. A Khaki bag of this style screams military person! The black may blend in a bit more in an urban environment. Trend towards as motorcycle rider...

hey man I'm about to get the rush 24!! let me know what you think I should put in it as I live approx 20 miles from work and sometimes do travel for a few hrs out of state in a rig let me know what u think I should add

@jpyeast Wow thanks man! Let me know how your pack comes out!

@arcrobe Thanks man. And that's a good suggestion. :)

loved the video mate, what was the small maxpedition bag inside? was it the Fatty? Also could you fit a 15 inch laptop in the back? any help would be much appreciated

Enjoyed the Video. Was wondering which color your Falcon 2 is? Is that the Foliage Green, or the Khaki-Foliage. Can't really tell on my monitor. Thanks!

@tmunds1 That's actually a good idea. I think I'll leave it empty. Thanks man!

can you make a video how you cobra weaved your paracord on the grab handle? i've been trying to do it to my bag but it doesn't come out as clean/neat as yours.

@Zox604 Thanks man!

nice set up.what. Is that the khaki version?

Can you tell me where you got your knife from? It looks like a very well made and compact knife.

@joekkl Well yeah, because I always carry with one in the chamber. It was no surprise.

my edc is maxpedition monsoon sling bag I can't over load it it's awesome

Needs that his blade must perform. For instance, combat, or breaching tool, or basic utility purposes. For some one who is a civilian who needs a knife in the bush the chances are he may need a knife to perform in some areas where a soldier may not, like game processing, wood notching and wood work, etc. While one knife is good, there is no perfect knife. It is with many tools that we expand our options, thus making it optimal. I hope that explained a bit. I could go into it further if you

I really like your videos. Did you say you are working for Goinggear.com?

@MrPop369 Thanks man!

im looking for a good carry on option for when I travel overseas, I normally just carry my laptop, one full change of clothes, a flashlight, some snacks, my phone charger and travel documents. would all this fit?

@jdavis882 I agree entirely. Keep up the good work.

I am a big person would this bag fit me because if it did i was going to use it as a edc bag please answer someone it would really help

I want to start to carry edc but 1 question do u carry with carry everywhere like in the stores and places to eat or leave it in your car

What about a small/medium sized pry bar? It's heavy, but it looks like you have room for one

@ascorpio09 You're very welcome man!

Is that really the best place for your ccw? Because that seems to be incredibly inconvinent to have to drop the bag, and pull it out in case of emergency. Other than that, nice setup. Make sure you grab another mag!

TT paper and extra mag,gun ,compass,and sharpening stone and you'll have it
