Your humor in the beginning just got me to subscribe lol, I appreciate the work you do sir

I have just watched several of your Maxpedition reviews, and they are incredible! You have, by far, the most thorough and well thought out review videos on these products I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your great work!

Sir your voice is made for reviews. You made these products sound elegant! Kudos.

Again, nice review. You pointed out the differences and similarities in a well organized manner and were very thorough.

Stefan, I'm half German and I love listening to your German-accented English. It's Wunderbar!

What an excellent review. Humorous and informative whilst not being over long.

I just received my Maxpedition Fatty organizer because of your review. Now I want the Anemone. I should stop watching these reviews or I will go broke. Another great review!

You have become my go-to channel for Maxpedition products. Great stuff!

Wollte dir nur ein Lob für deine Videos aussprechen. Sie sind mit sehr viel Sorgfalt und Detail gemacht und enthalten immer alle nützlichen Informationen. Wirklich top!

GREAT VIDEO! You really helped me make a thorough decision. The ANENOME is definitely the way to go for me. Thank you for a very educational video.

An excellent review Stefan. Thanks for taking the time to upload this video. You have made my decision so much easier.

Your videos are always so entertaining and informative! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Your reviews are just awesome. Thank you. Straight to the point loaded with information.

Great video, as usual. I would appreciate more maxpedition stuff reviews. Your in-depth reviews make it much easier to decide if I'll have any use for the product.

Are you done making KZfaq reviews? I would love to see more reviews on Maxpedition products from you.

@DFD737 Thank you very much! I'm glad that my videos are helpful to you.

Sorry late late late comment. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO!!

Really wish the barnacle had a belt loop molle patch like many other maxpedition products. This pouch was exactly what I’m looking for but sadly no belt loop

ze german accent is wonderfull

Great review! I wish the Anemone was still being made.. I have two barnacles though.. I thought an anemone was a sea creature that attaches itself to rocks that also may have barnacles attached to it as well..

Great video !

Your videos are fantastic!

@MrJimbofox Haha... I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jimbo!

Thanks for the review

Great job as always Stefan! Those are great :].

@Raioh87 Thank you for your kind words!

"Very German" lol. That cracked me up. Great comparisons.

Engaging and thorough . Thank you .

@mrmonkeyman50 Thank you! Yes, melting the ends works quite well. But I've come to use the TacTies only for attaching MOLLE items permanently; for items I frequently attach and detach I prefer the SpeedClips.

Sie sehr gut gemacht, das hilft mir sehr bei meiner Kaufentscheidung danke

Good size for EDC

That is what we are currently using. But they 'slouch' on my wife's narrow belt. There is a lot of slop. I think the speedclips might afford a more narrow profile and hold the pouch more closely to her body.

Your accent is amazing. Great video.

Great little pouches i like the Barnacle a bit more. Looks a little more attractive in my opinion :). For now though i want to get the Mini pocket organizer :).

@vuileasbak No, it doesn't flop around. - Have you watched my video on how to use the Speed Clips?

such a shame, i would absolutely buy both of these if they had belt loops

Great vid. I must have compared the barnacle and anemone for about an hour before settling on the anemone. It's a great pouch, I have it attached to my fatboy but I reckon it it makes a better waist pack than the m2, the m2 is clunky in comparison.

Good comparison. I really wish they had included the pen-slots on the Barnacle. That would have made it a perfect small edc pouch. I think the Anemone is just a little too bulky for too little gain so I could not use that. Really wish the Barnacle had the pen slots.

Great Review! Really assisted me in broadening my choice in Add-ons for my Maxpedition Monsoon Gearslinger. I am thinking about getting the "Monkey Combat Admin Pouch" for the Back. The "Hip-Flap" will have a "Double Sheath" and (thanks to you) the Anemone. But i JUST stumbled over the "Triad Admin Pouch" which sums up the last 2 and adds an extra "document" compartment.. Mutti! lol Ich hab Keine Ahnung Dr :) Greetings, Dutchman from Downunder.

As always ... great review.

very good review. I am planning to buy the Anemone to also attach to my ECD Vera Pack thanks so much for the review. I was looking for something to hold a small radio that I use with friends will traveling through Germany! you have clinched it for me. Thanks so much.

@YoUB3TrOlLiN Thank you, Solarz! - Yes, I have. I can't remember though if I have ever eaten them, because we usually buy other noodle brands.

This...this is a great video.

@stschmalhaus Another great review - love comparisons. Your joke about German names was hysterical! If you want to fix your frayed tac ties, just hold a lighter gently in the frayed area and it will melt the frayed parts and give you a stiff edge again.

The German accent is by far the coolest accent one could have while speaking english...that and the Bostonian accent.

Thank you for a well thought out review. Your review was full of good information and lots of humor too! Imagine, a German with a great sense of humor :) I'm not sure but you might be more interesting than the great Maxpedition products you are reviewing :)

@ricksageek You are welcome!

@GMGvanS LOL... but the belt loop would still be missing.

@4x4boogie Thank you! Greetings from good old Germany! ;-)

That was great AND entertaining.

Great comparison. Now which tastes better an anemone or a barnacle?

I need a patch that says my common sense is maxed out.

thanks , great video

My wife carries a Barnacle as her belt pouch. A belt loop would have been a nice addition. Do you think you could use the Blackhawk speedclips as a belt loop?

You showed the tack-ties for the belt application. Does the speed clips work with a belt as well?

isnt it a drawback to use the speedclips in stead of the tacties? i can imagine the pouch *flopping around* with the speedclips because of the fact that only one molle strap is attached to either the bag or the pouch in your opinion? whats the best option when you are going for max retention putting a pouch on a bag? thnx in advance and greetings from holland

@stschmalhaus now i have ;) thank you very much 5 inch speedclips it will be then its for hooking up a m2 waistpack on the side of a remora

Hi, ich liebe den Patch mit der Deutschlandflagge und dem Geocaching Logo. Wo hast ist der her, wenn ich fragen darf?

@Tardisius What's wrong with bull's eye?

Would the barnacle be small enough to fit inside a cargo pants pocket?

Great review. You just sold an Anemone.

Funny guy ! Well done ;)

Stefan, thanks for the review. I agree about the Tac Ties - they are hopeless, awkward to use and as you say, the ends fray with use. I owned an Anemone for a while, but when I replaced my mobile phone with a Samsung Galaxy S2, it would not fit. (I had an old Nokia clamshell phone which did fit.) Does the S2 fit inside the M2 waist pouch? I think that may be the replacement.

I'd rather use the Maxpedition TacTies in this case. They are more flexible.

Seems, weaving the tacties would be more secure! But have no hands on experience with either.be ause the proper way to attach Molly is to weave.

I was hoping you would put a pack of cigarettes in the barnacle and a zippo lighter in the front pocket. Would you say the barnacle would be good for these items?

..And now i've watched your M1/M2 review ... .*scratches head*

Have you ever tried fitting an iPhone into the anemone?

You forgot "Laural and Hardy"

Did I see Dr.Stefan on that business card?

Thx you sir!

I am going to be completely random here. In your home, do you speak German or English? Just wondering..

Sounds like the wannabe surgeon from the movie Hostel... im kinda scared right now... lol jk, good video, looking to check out molle pouches for transferring essentials from my edc redrock assault to an INCH pack if full shtf calls for getting out long term. My INCH is for 4 people so cant obviously be a work bag but a lot of my edc will need to go with the INCH but if I cant take both bags I want a fast incorporation of the two. Thanks for showing me some good options.

@brynsannan Thank you! - I have a PhD in German Literature.

this pouchs are waterproof ?

Wish the Anemone wasnt discontinued. You selling yours.....lol

@murphi14 Thank you!

WAYYYY over built & bulky compared to the little amount of space available to store things. That's a common issue with Maxpedition. I have the Mini & Micro pouches which are fine with space, but these would be too little for the bulk it creates. For example, if you pack the inside by using all the pockets then you can barely fit anything in the outside panels.

What color is it - OD or foliage?

Great and funny review... btw Fatty and Beffy.... My coworker had to chuckle when I phoned a vendor regarding the latter

I have another way of carrying your S2 on you. I have an HTC ONE X with an Otterbox Defender Case. Comes with a holster which I clip on my Monsoon Gearlsinger's Shoulder Strap for easy access. (kind of makes you look like a SWAT member lol) Overall a splendid robust product made to protect your valuable phone. Here's a link of a review for your model. watch?v=znBOFvv3Riw Greetings from Downunder.
