I came by because the algorithm knows I’m looking at the FAC Track. I’m an amateur radio operator (ham) and have tried so many different solutions for carrying a station in the field. When I carry a small, low power rig the bag doesn’t matter. But when I want to take a 100w radio and support equipment to the field, then I want a bag that can carry that weight and is equipped to support the radio, support equipment, and personal gear to support me. These are meant to carry the PRC-117 series radios. The radio can be operated on the go or with the pack removed and the top opened (for access to the front panel). High Ground Gear makes pouches for the Fox and Golf versions of the PRC-117 rigs, but the Golf version pouches have been out of stock forever. I’m posting this for other hams who wander by looking for options for carrying a Yaesu FT-857 or FT-891 rig for portable ops. Thanks for an excellent review.

I would add color to the fire kit. Its hard to see if you drop it. Also add a few bick lighters not in the fire kit. In other places in the bag, so all your fire eggs arnt in one basket. 👍🏻 good video. This bag looks like its perfect size for edc get home bag. Gyrfalcon looks to huge.

I have two of these (multicam and Ranger green) and I’m contemplating selling the green one. I love the bags but I found I don’t need two. The only drawback for me is the weight. It’s about 7 lbs empty and creeping in on 30 lbs+ when packed with what I need, and I’ve already tried to slim that down and offload stuff to a chest rig. I’ve set up my bag to be a get away from home bag. If SHTF, societal collapse, etc and it’s not safe to stay in a populated area, this will get me into the mountains, help keep me concealed, keep me dry and keep me warm. Fleece blanket, hammock, small ratchet straps for a secure mounting system for the hammock,, woobie, camo poncho to go over the hammock, fleece pullover, Stanley pot with two plastic bowls, Stanley metal cup to boil and one plastic cup inside (lost the other one). 50 ft of paracord, map of my side of the state (western MT), spare cold weather beanie, cold/wet weather leg gaiters strapped to the underside of the pack, machete in one of the side sleeves, small detachable pack system for my chest rig if I want to leave my backpack in one location for a small excursion.

4:28 "That's what those pockets are for." ????????? Is that really what you think those pockets are for? Take it from the guy who put a bottle that's less than half a liter into a detachable pouch. Those pouches on the side are for water bottles man! Carry your weapon at the low ready! Or buy a pack with the weapon carry sleeve in the back between the frame and the main compartment of the bag!

Excellent overview. I am planning on switching out my 5.11 Rush pack for the Fac Track. I'll be one of the few people that will be using this for packing out my HF amateur radio gear (among other things). It's good to know that you can carry a rifle on the outer pouches.The shoulder/waist adjustments are another reason why this bag is perfect for a load out. Thanks!

Great review of this bag. I recently purchased one and am trying to get an idea of how folks are using their's. I laughed when you pulled that big bottle of hand sanitizer out. Only because I carry a large bottle myself. A buddy ragged me about it a while back. In addition to needing clean hands in an emergency, I've also used it to dry my feet out after a long march in water-logged boots. It'll also take a spark and light a fire. Thanks for taking the time to share your set up.

It's interesting that you have your solar panel in a faraday bag, but none of your electronic device.
@lizzardlife6 жыл бұрын
After a lot of research, there are some myths about EMP that are being dispelled, at least in my mind. One is small electronic devices, flashlight, radio, possibly even a phone that are powered off or even better have the battery taken out will survive an EMP. Think of an EMP as a radio wave pulse, one big strong one. If you have a small transistor radio with the antenna down you will still catch that signal but not nearly as much as if you had an antenna the size of a house, then the thing would explode. With the bag generally in my car that provides a level of shielding because the metal car will absorb some of the pulse so some of those small things should be fine. I put the solar panel in a bag because its basically a large antenna and would pick up more of the pulse and potentially get fried.
