Greetings from Savotta's home land! Have to say that your videos are superior. It's a pure pleasure to watch. Nice pace and nothing unnecessary junk. Keep up the good work!

I found the Askare can fit an iPad 12.9" which is an essential for me 🙂

Hey Jess. I'm sitting here on a beautiful Saturday sunny morning here in ohio. And I see this video of you sharing this awesome ultimate tactical fanny pack. And it just doesn't get much better. Thank you so much brother.

YESSS bro I'm actually modding my Hatka ATM. I'm glad I went with OD instead of camo looks more subdued. These are the ultimate ultralight kits loving it!!✊️🔥✌️💚

Beginning to think y’all’s weather is as bipolar as ours 😁 Solid base setup. A few more pounds for some food with that flexibility , good to go . High and deep . Have a great weekend

Ready to walk the runways, in Paris Jess. Lol. Excellent review man. I love there kit. Cheers 🍻

I always enjoy your videos. I do like the pack and the idea to redistribute the supplies and weight. Thanks

Always a hood thing to check out your videos, I learn a lot but also get confirmation I'm on the right track

Sweet set up. You gave me an idea. 3/4 insulation pad - wood carrier. Multipurpose. Liked the vid thanks for sharing.

I couldnt agree more ! I run similiar and it rides about the same. Much nicer getting around with it.

Thanks for the ideas man. I know you were joking about ultralight stuff. I run two sets of kits depending on how far Im going and who I'm with, if anyone. I have a military style setup like this but also I really went down the rabbit hole of long distance ultralight hiking gear. It amazing how light a lot of these people go (5-10lbs), I think a lot of bushcrafters could learn a thing or two from them and vice versa. Dave C did a series a long time ago called In the shadow of nessmuk where he looked at that to see how much he could lower his gear so he could add on stuff like hunting or fishing gear. It'd be fun to see you give it a crack one day. It can be a bit expensive though for sure, but the stuff is way more durable than most people think too.

Jess- Your videos on gear reviews are some of the best I've seen on YT. Cool gear and practical- Thanks for sharing-

Hi Jess, great setup. Looks like a great way to distribute the load more comfortably. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻

I really like the Oasis canteen from Nalgene. You can put hot water in it, and it won't soften. it fits in the GI carrier. You can also see the inside for gunk or water levels. Always enjoy your videos Jess. All the best.

Thanks for the early heads up. I managed to snag one and get it sent to UK. Much appreciated!

Very cool Jess! Thanks for sharing my friend😎

Very efficient! Keep up the great work of showing us great gear.

Great video. Love the kit. I also rock a second web belt sometimes. It def makes life easier for knife, hatchet and belt pouch

Thanks for the video, nice set up. 👍

Really nice kit, like the way you configure the gear, given me some ideas

You have the best set ups my man! Keep it Up!

Cool set up Jesse

👍👍👍 Good Evenng Jess .. A very nice setup .. well thought out. Unfortunately, I've run out of reasons / excuses to get any more such gear from Varusteleka 😕 (at the moment .. 😏). I suspect that any attempt on my part to do so right now will result in my sleeping out on the balcony 😁. Mulling over it though .. 🤔😊. I have some other butt packs and similar that I use pretty much as you do. My Savotta Jääkäri 'Jäger' S Pack similarly sits nicely on top of my existing Butt Pack. Not Savotta Quality, but it does the job .. for now (until it breaks 😏). Thanks for sharing .. take care .. Tommy

Modular is the way to go man.

I like your "ultralight territory" approach! I also have a Hatka.

This is great, thank you!

Jess that is a Wicked System , I want both the waste pack and the 12L day pack lol cheers bro !

Nice! Thanks för sharing!

Nice setup Jess. Nate

MOLLE II WAIST PACK IS THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool, I posted that last week , hopefully it will be with you soon

Excellent!!👍👍👍

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

👍🏻👍🏻

Savotta has some funny names for their products. Like "Askare" in English it means roughly "a Chore" or "a Job". But "Hatka" is a bit more complicated. It means "Otetaan hatkat!", "lets take a hike!" (leave most of your gear and get the h**l out of there and fast). Commenting as Finn...

Absolutely Filthy! I use a different arsepack that sags without a harness. This makes it quite heavy. I keep dump pouch 2 bottles and knife, but I can't slide it's around with the harness. My 12ltr pack sits on top too. I keep some emergency rations in the arsepack, otherwise almost identical... Farrrrk!🤯 I like the hammock in Auzzi, outa Mr Slitherys way. Tourniquet on the pack strap and 1 in the arsepack. I gotta say, your setup here Jess has me quite envious as I know this system works well for me too... But yours is better! I'm gettin' one mate. Awesome video as usual. Cheers, hope all is well with you. Regards, Secari.

I like your belt setup with the large pouch. But I don't like so many belts. Did you ever tried to put the belt from the Askare as inner belt for a battle belt? There are some they have the outer molle segmented. Is the Askare water proofed?

Man I gotta wonder how many bushcraft suits you got now?

Brand of pants/jacket please!

I meant to ask, I have a lot of troubles swivelling the askare around my hips, did you keep or ditch the foam insert in it?

I like my Askare already. I’ve had it for about a week. But what i noticed is that the hip strap tends to loosen while I’m lifting it up before putting it on. Any ideas? Maybe I should roughen up the strap a little. I basically had the same problem with the shoulder straps on the Jääkäri XL.
