Off-Body Carry isn't necessarily something I'd recommend for most situations, but for me it makes sense at the gym. This is just a quick look at my current concealed carry setup when I workout. It is all housed in an Oakley Extractor Sling Pack.
A lot of people ask why I carry a gun at the gym, this video is for you - • When Should You Carry ...
Note: when off-body carrying a gun, you need to make sure that you are always in control of your pack, and that it isn't readily accessible to anyone that shouldn't have access to it. I accomplish this primarily by keeping it in my direct vicinity while I workout. I don't leave it at the front or in the locker room, I keep it with me at all times.

Great bag for Jim Carrey, I mean gym carry.
Chris Z. I was thinking the same thing
Still funny in 2020
Alrighty Then
😂😂😂 underrated comment
Good one
I’m glad there are good people out there armed and ready to protect themselves and innocent people. I wish there were more of them
pretty sure he'd freeze up or hide if he ever got into a tight, he's just playing with some toys
That pack is LEGIT! Great idea to add an armor plate!
Ur names such a meme
Sure! how about some hand grenades too? they fit perfect in the water pocket
Thanks for making this video. I just ordered a sling bag, initially I bought it just to carry my SD40VE and Kimber Custom 1911 to the range instead of my full size range bag. I really like how you have your bag with the 1st aid kit, tourniquet and the pistol holster you modified to secure it in a position ready for use. I feel even more excited to get my sling bag especially seeing that this style bag gives you a great amount of tool space for any thing you can think of not just as a place for your own protection but to be able to keep some things that could possibly save someone else. Thanks again, and to the folks that are negative to this gentleman’s video, he could be the difference between someone else being shot not just himself. I doubt anyone with intent to kill would be judge-mental on why he has a sling bag in a gym it’s the element of surprise when a every day citizen fights back against these criminals that prey on the assumption we are weak.
Dude... U make great vids... I hope u continue ....I'm a 25 yr police officer and I now carry everywhere... Don't waste ur time wit those haters who know and hav done absolutely nothing...
Haters gonna hate
I wish he would sell these holsters. I reached out to him and he was super cool and said there wasn't enough interest...feel like I am not the only one that wants one based on previous posts. Awesome video!
I want one
Did you ever buy one ?
@@Mr.Mach1n3 I did not. Made a crude version but never used it. I think he offers them on his website now.
I bought this bag because of this video fits my Glock 19 with APLC and an extra magazine perfectly. Great bag
For anyone wondering, it can fit a 15.6 Inc laptop witch makes its perfect for traveling. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhqixo9uZ1YyoCn9PYPPCh4S-n-1Z-vJl I got the small size and its pretty big, I would even say that you can be fine with an extra small one. With the small you can fit a 15.6 inch laptop, 2 - 3 jeans or panta and at least 4 to 5 shirt and a pair of shoes(if you travel more than you go to the gym of course) and you will still have a lot of space to spear if you know how to organize it. Overall I LOVE IT.
So, I actually really love what you've done here. You took a trendy little pack, and made it very useful for those of us that legally and lawfully carry. For the past couple weeks I've been looking for a good off body carry bag, that doesn't look like the obvious as hell, 5.11 tactical bags. Now, that being said, and being an instant fan, and watching more of your videos, I do have some genuine concerns. The problem with this bag is obvious. It's hard to open it in public, without essentially, flashing your gun. Going after any of the internal contents, would seem to easily expose the item, that's meant to be hidden. Maybe this could be remedied by mounting the holster way lower in the bag? Thanks for the awesome video, inspired to either do something similar to yours, or my own and original.
Some guys will carry in a digital camo fanny pack with a quick release carabiner, MOLLE, Punisher skulls on the zipper tags, and a Gadsden flag patch and say they're concealed carrying.
That's an awesome setup. I use a wheelchair and have been looking for alternative ways for conceal carry. As most traditional ways don't work. Thanks for the great idea.
This is actually awesome. I'm working on a similar system that would allow me to carry to group workouts and another one to allow me to carry while running.
Your soft plate is just big enough to cover the blood pump. Use what you have. Use what works.
Nice bag and set up. Love that it doesn't look tactical. The small plate is very smart, especially in the fact that it covers your heart. Going to check into this bag.
Great minimalist setup. Everything easily accessible. I'm stealing this idea!
"10 or 15 minutes in the end"
You split the difference! :)
Nice video, thanks.
To me, working out is about the only time off-body carry makes sense. I myself have used it for years, but eventually, I have found a way to make it comfortable enough for me to still carry even when working out.
Basically, it involves wearing a nylon gun belt, and getting something as small and light as say a Sig 365 inside a minimal kydex holster on the strong side, and an EDC pouch for my cellphone, keys, and wallet on the other side for counterbalance.
With the correct gear, the setup is very secure, and works great even when I am out on jogs.
Pretty snazzy. A buddy of mine got me a Condor tactical "man purse" shoulder bag for my birthday, & everytime, I leave the apt, I carry it loaded down w/knives, spare mags, rechargeable cell phone charger, etc. The biggest, closest-to-body pocket has the fuzzy Velcro panel to facilitate attaching a hook-backed Velcro equipped holster or what have you. The bag's the perfect size for about any EDC suitable handgun, 1st aid kit, or even a weekend's worth of socks, t shirts, underwear, & hygiene items.
I just traded for a VERTX sling bag that is setup for my Active Shooter Bag, basically what you have here. Very nice job. Great bag too.
I loved this video! I have my LTC and I just started going to the gym and I will be going alone at 6 in the morning your video was very well informative! thank you!!
Your speech cadence is good, the lighting is good, your mike is good; review was great. Stop being so apologetic. Thank you for sharing.
Tampons for bullet holes and quick clot are light and a GOOD thing to have.
The light weight pistol plate is awesome and a GREAT idea. I love that! :)
Currently I leave my pistol in a safe in the car. I haven't been able to find an on-body method of carry that let's me get through a workout series comfortably. Many people carry all types of bags into the gym, and even onto the gym floor. You've given me a good idea. Thanks!
InYourDefense fanny-pack
InYourDefense Ruger LC9 with a technaclip or for an even smaller setup use a Ruger LCP with a technaclip pocket holster
That is a nicely made pack. I've carried the Maxpedition Jumbo Versapack for years in those situations where I can't CC on body.
I carry off the body in a bag very similar except it sits near my right hip, looks like a lap top bag. I do it for several reasons. in no particular order:
1: I can wear my body cam on the strap across my chest, there's no better place for it. I am a process server so I need the body cam.
2: I'm in good physical shape and I wear clothes that fit me. So many you tubers that carry concealed are fat and dress in frumpy loose clothing. I can carry concealed on my hip in the winter but not 9 months out of the year.
3: I carry a full size handgun, for a lot of reasons.
4: Great way to store extra magazines and emergency medical supplies.
5: Now a lot of people say it takes longer to get your gun out. It's negligible when you compare it with many other concealed carry options. My gun is inches from my right hand and reaching into my bag is no different than pulling a coat or shirt out of the way.
6: The big argument against it is that you'll forget it when you take it off or someone will steal it. I never take it off, it's on me as I drive, when I get out of my car and when I get back in. I literally put it on when I leave the house and take it off at the end of the night. but also, I was in The Marines for a decade and I am brainwashed to never leave my weapon. I would carry a rifle, pistol, and sometimes other sensitive equipment on me 24 hours a day; to the gym, to chow, to the shower. So I'm used to it. If you've ever left your backpack at school, briefcase at the office, luggage at the airport, or purse at a table then I would not recommend this for you.
That is all. Semper Fi.
Just catching up on my youtube, I'm somewhat out of pocket during the summer. I was just in an Oakley outlet store at the beach last weekend, decided to order some of their tactical light gloves to use shooting and riding motorcycles. Definitely love me some Oakley products! The fact that their gloves are smart device friendly is awesome. It's much nicer not having to strip my gloves off every time I need to check something or answer a call while on the bike. I've also had the same Oakley sunglasses for probably 5+ years. The 458SOCOM is always available ;) Oh yea and solid video as usual.
I've been watching a lot of your vids last couple of days and I have to say I'm surprised you don't have many more subscribers. Very informal and you get the wheels turning for many other things. Great work.
Every time I watch your videos, I spend money! Gonna give that bag a try. Excellent video as always, I've tried many different gym carry system....and yes belly band or the hidden crotch holsters get awkward realllll quick!
Yeah, I just can't make myself wear em... haha
I just bought this bag off of Oakley Standard Issue based off of your review. Thanks!
My wife and I go to the gym three time a week and I always carry when I exercise with no problems a all. I always wear jean shorts with my S&W Snuby in my right front pocket. I can bend, stretch and lift weights when I do a full workout with no problem at all. Pocket carry is my every day carry method with my Glock 26, snuby 38 special or sometime a .380. Try the pocket carry at the gym and you might like it.
I recommend getting a backpack that is less tactical looking for your conceal carry. If I was out and I saw you I would immediately would think you were carrying. Just my 2 cents. Less tactical more concealment.
Exactly right.
Truth Seeker Why? People who never served a single second in the armed forces wear camo clothing all the time. And if you go in a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop, probably a quarter or more of their camping and outdoor gear could theoretically be considered "tactical". As smart and geared-up as Mike seems to be about all this jazz, anyone dumb enough to screw with him's just going to end up with a serious case of lead poisoning.
It's an Oakley brand bag, not voodoo monkey or something like that. Calm down bro.
Nice pack! I use a 5.11 two banger bag for off body. My EDC holster fits in the center compartment (which opens really quickly with dual zippers) as well as two spare mags, a med kit in the back pocket and various tools in front pocket.
I had one of these for years. Great for Off bosy carry
you need more subs man. best channel on youtube
I love it, a camera bag and and old daytimer are my go to obc methods. I like that this one doesn't scream youtube ninja.
That tri holster system is fire
I use to use this as an edc bag when I rode my motorcycle to work everyday. I kind of got annoyed with the way they did the strap in the center of the bag. So now it's my trauma bag I like it for that because it opens and you have access to all the pockets it's great for organization.
yeah good choice, they copied the blackhawk stingray, made for a (trauma bag) I have a couple of them. lots of MOLLE inside. I've used it, rips open and lays out flat, quick access to everything, works well to keep you from having to go fishing in your bag when critical shits happening
That's a great set up
Thanks!
.
You said you keep the bag a bit open, don't you worry someone could reach in and grab it?
Good work Mike. Great to have you back on regular basis.
Glad to be back.
Two words "Grey Man", I like you're video's, good ideas, I like how you approach putting things together. I tend to incorporate EDC with normal clothing, as soon as you start carrying Oakley bags in OD green or wearing tactical pants, shirts with gun quotes or pictures on em, and carrying bags when you exercise, screams "I carry a gun". what if you leave the bag on the ground and walk off, It can happen, If that happens: you have left a bag with a gun in a public place. But that just my opinion, keep up the interesting videos.
Sew some Velcro at the top where you don't fully zip. Solves your problem of it not being fully zipped closed. It still facilitate quick opening using your opening method and you'' hear if someone behind you tries to open it.
This is actually a great idea!
I've been using a 3 speed holster for years in the gym, I've done hikes, crunches, pull downs, treadmill, elliptical and have played basketball with it, I carry my PPS, extra mag and knife in it, it's a little pricey, but worth every penny. Not so sure about walking around with a sling that is partially open at the top for quick access.
Armor in the pack!!! Sweet!!!
Some of You people don't understand why he carries in a gym. Well here's why you should carry everywhere you go. Years ago I worked in a retirement home a mad husband of a lady that also worked there came in to shoot her, well he ended up killing 5 people including her. I wish someone including myself had been carrying. I Carry everywhere I go, I mean everywhere. If I have pants on its on me. If no pants then its with in my reach. I not only carry it I go to the range at least once each month.
Some people think of you carry got WANT TO SHOOT SOMEONE!
but in reality you carry because you NEVER know when you will need it?
if anything i'm more situationally aware when I carry and avoid areas and or situations!!!
Savedbygrace I’m 2 years later replying to your comment. But I’m curious when you conceal carry, do you carry spare magazine(s)? I was asking since when you mentioned the incident at your old job.
DisneyFireheart I always carry at least one spare mag....occasionally two. The reason isn’t because I anticipate burning through all of my ammo-all of my Glocks, including the G43, have enough rounds in the gun to end *most* gunfights. The reason is that one of the most common causes of a mechanical failure in a well-maintained pistol (all of mine are well maintained) is a magazine-related failure. Those failures are most quickly addressed by dropping the magazine and inserting a fresh one. Yes, even Glocks can fail. So always carry a spare mag. And then if, heaven forbid, you actually *DO* need an administrative reload, or you shoot the gun dry, you’ll have a reload ready.
The Annoyed Man That’s good to hear. Also are there any other handguns you do conceal carry out of curiosity?
DisneyFireheart *occasionally* I carry my "Noisy Cricket"....a S&W M&P340 snubbie in .357 Mag, but it’s not really any fun to shoot, so it’s pretty much something to slip in the pocket of my bathrobe when I walk down to the mail box on cold mornings. 😝 I also own or have owned and have carried 3”, 4”, and 5” 1911s in .45 ACP, a HK USP Compact .40, a 5” S&W 327 TRR8 .357, a 5” S&W Model 29 .44 mag, a S&W 642 .38 Special, a S&W 640 .357, a M&P45 full-size, XD(M)-45 Compact and XDS-45, all in .45 ACP, and Glocks G17, G19, G26, and G43 in 9mm, a Kahr PM9 and a CM45, a Colt Gov’t .380, and a Keltec P3AT. (I don’t even count the .22s 😁)
A few of those I have sold, but I still own most of them. For about the last 4-5 years, I pretty much only carry 9mm Glocks anymore. I like my other guns, but I don’t carry for fashion, I carry for practical reasons, and (*for me*) my Glocks are my most practical guns. Of the ones I have, I carry the G19 and G43 the most often by far. And of those two, the G19 most of the time.
Finally, a sling bag review that actually shows body wearable functionality.
I liked your video. Love, love, love that bag. I'm a huge fan of Oakley bags and their pants. I have the Oakley Coyote Vigor backpack, and would like to have this one as well. There are some reasons that I like mine in certain applications. It doesn't have webbing that makes it look tactical to suggest I might be carrying. I think the Extractor Sling be a good option for me for camping, hiking, and outdoor recreational. For the gym, I might want to off-body carry in something that looks more civilian/casual. That holster is sick! Thanks for the video!
Hey Dude, cool vids & set up. But, carrying a bag with your main compartment open is asking for a few issues to potentially or inevitably can happen. One is the bag opening through daily motions, zipper creeping open, walking through snag points of terrain, crowds, etc (those have decent size zipper loops too which can catch). You mention how it's somewhat inconvenient to open it in full closed position (a good thing for security on your back). And you demonstrated the ease of opening with it in the opened position. It seems inevitable that it can easily snag open when you don't want it to. Also, potentially, an open zipper bag calls out to a curious hand that wants to go in with the weapon as the first thing they touch, or in a hand to hand situation. Basically, consider cover first, then weapon deployment which may not suffer from daily use sacrifices for quick open top access. I still like the idea you put forward for off body carry though, really makes it a contender option for our daily lives.
Yeah, those are all definitely good points. This particular bag with the zipper open at the top, is a little different than a standard bag though, it doesn't really look or feel open to the average person. It still is easier to open, so getting snagged on something could certainly be an issue. This isn't really my 'EDC bag' or anything like that - I on-body carry - this has pretty limited use in just being my gym bag, and on rare occasions hitting the grocery store or something on the way home. But still, good points, and definitely things to consider if you were using this bag around crowds, on a bus, etc!
You should check out 5.11 they have a bag like this but it has a compartment that's hidden that you can access quickly because it's essentially a Velcro pocket. It's probably more expensive but you can have your gun hidden even if someone goes through your bag.
Thanks for the info! Good set up. I'd add an Israeli bandage and a Fenix light.
Nice vid, would like more info on your holster builds. Need about three holsters. Thanks
After many of my items being stolen at gyms, I just work out in my cargo shorts w sig p238 in pocket. Good enough. I would use that bag for edc no problem otherwise.
Yeah, I hear gym crime can be pretty bad, though I've luckily never yet been a victim to it...
im gonna use this setup when i go to the beach
where can i purchase one of your holsters?
Thanks for sharing! I need a good solution for running, hiking and other activities where I don't want to have to wear a belt.
Finally got mines after saying for GOD knows how long that I would get one. 😆 It just came today. I got the all black one.
Good set up......I too take an off body EDC to the gym. To me gyms are perfect soft targets for those looking to do evil. I also know where all the exits are in my gym in case of SHTF in order to make a quick exit. Sometimes you fight and sometimes you flight depending on what the play calls for.
Yup, good call. Being aware of exits and entrances, as well as areas of cover and concealment is good practice.
Good info sir! I've been wanting to buy this pack for awhile for the same reason you have. Now, I can definitely buy them!!
I made my own holster. It's my armband holster, very short sub nosed .22 Small, Compact, loaded with SPA ammo. Done Deal.
I worry about 'tactical' youtubers. Just watched a video of a guy showing where his gun safes are in his house and what is in them, now this guy shows the world what is in his little green bag. It's a great set up dude but now at the very least everyone at your gym knows that if they need a gun....there is one in your bag. Part of being truly prepared is not telling the world you are prepared.
Somewhat valid points, but I'm not too worried about it - maybe if I had millions of subscribers and lived in a big city - but I'm in a small town, nobody knows who I am. At my gym when I'm working out, there are typically like 3 other people in there and most of them are over 50 and clueless. So for my particular scenario/life/gym/city it isn't an issue. Even in the off chance that someone did recognize me or my bag - the chances of them wanting to or trying to wrestle it from me are slim to none.
Eh, I still don't agree for me (maybe in general, but not for me personally.) I do appreciate the concern, and I do understand the argument, and I do think that it would apply to most people. But for me, I could walk into *my* gym whenever I go and announce that I have a gun to everyone that is in there, and it realistically wouldn't any difference - they'd shrug or say "oh cool, I left mine in my car" or "oh neat, mine is over in that cubby in my bag." The chances of someone trying to steal my bag from my feet at *my* gym is infinitesimally small, and I'm obviously aware of the risk, and deal with it accordingly. People know that I have a gun on me 100% of the time, and I'm okay with that, and i have the awareness to deal with the possible ramifications that may come from that.
This is for my particular life/gym/city (as mentioned in my first comment, and in the video) and I definitely wouldn't apply this to everyone and every scenario. I make videos to give people ideas on how they can be better prepared - when making a video about being prepared, you need to give clear, practical ways/ideas for them to be able to make easy applications to their own situation, and weigh the pros/cons/feasibility of them using a similar system. This video is to give ideas to others that would like to be prepared. In my life, in my every day scenarios, I don't mind other people knowing openly that I am prepared. But yes, as mentioned and alluded to - in general I agree that it is a great idea for others to not know that you have a gun - especially in certain areas.
Also, not that it matters, and it doesn't change any of my sentiments - but my dog ripped this bag up and I no longer use this system to carry. But maybe that will give people that are concerned, the warm fuzzies.
I'm not contradicting myself, and I clearly agree that there is no safe place. What I'm saying is that the knowledge that there is a gun in a bag at my feet, will not make a perp come and wrestle a gun out of my hands at the gym. I mean, sure it's possible - but so unlikely that it's not something I worry about. If I left this bag in a locker, or in a cubby at the front of the gym, and someone could snatch it on their way out - then sure. But since I have it by me at all times, I'm just not worried about it. I'd be far more worried about leaving a gun in a locker, or in my car. The fact that this bag is by me, in a well lit environment, with great visibility and mirrors on every wall,, in a place filled with cameras, 'guarded' by an individual (me) who is adequately trained in awareness and self-defense - makes it pretty much a non-issue for someone trying to get it from me. But hey, I agree that a fanny pack is a better alternative, I may have even mentioned that in the video, I can't remember. I like having other gear with me though as well, and that'd either make for a really big fanny pack, or a fanny pack + a bag.
Last Line Of Defense What's your new bag setup?
Why would you need a gun in the gym anyway? Do you live in Chicago? lol just keep it in the car.
Great setup and great advice. I carry everywhere I go, EXCEPT the gym because for whatever reason I didn't think of a setup like this. But I definitely will now, people can't get it through their head that bad people with bad intentions can be ANYWHERE. What type of setup do you have now since your dog ripped your last one? I'm really interested!
Please add the link for the AR500 plate
Thanx for posting this great video. Your ammo choice is spot on.
Love the appendix holster you made I would like one just like it.
Do a walk around vid of your kydex shop and the process of how you do your holsters! Keep up the good content
Sweet gear pack! Multiple options are great to have for various situations.
Michael Devito, I actually typed in this guy might save your life. When I hit send it changed my words. But you understand what I'm saying.
bro i just got one of these bags last week so this video helped me in terms of ideas, thanks lol
Glad it helped!
Like the bag.A good light weight carry. Thanks for another great video.😎
so you should definitely do a video on how to make your own holster. i love your holsters and don't have a lot of money to put into a 60+ dollar holster for my G43. i want to do this same thing for when I got to the gym. spend about 2-3 hours there every single day. i usually just put my gun in my gym bag in a locked locker. not super accessible to anyone including myself. wondering if anyone ever looks at you weird when you pack a bag around with you.
Videos on holster making isn't really what the channel is about, though it's possible that one day I'll make a video with some tips, but idk when.
Doubt anyone notices someone carrying a bag at the gym, people carry bags around the gym all the time, that's where they keep their chalk, belts, wraps, etc - but if they do, or they did, I wouldn't care.
+Last Line Of Defense I just don't see very many bags at my gym. i see people put them in their lockers not take them around with them. i too don't care if they see I have a bag or not. just curious if you see more people carrying bags around with them at your gym.
really impressed the soft armor is clever good job man
I think I might have to get that bag. I took your advice and got the Oakley panel pack and love it for my edc
Oakley makes some nice packs for sure.
Awesome set up I'm definitely going to steal your style I definitely gotta get one of those bags 👍🏼
First time watching your videos. Very well done. I have been contemplating carrying and or having weapons at the gym. Instant sub!
Hey bud, for a similar price, I think you should check out the Vertx Commuter sling pack. Great design with some really cool features I think you might like over this Oakley bag.
I carry a small gym bag, i just keep my setup in that and my bag next to me at all times. I like this setup and overall idea though. I currently don't carry a tourniquet but a small ifak would be good to add like you said. 👍
Sounds like you have the right idea!
I like it- plus if outside working out like biking etc. - try and find a camel water backpack that a gun can slide in while outside
This is a cool setup but I like the Red Rock Outdoor Gear Rover Sling Pack its only $30 dollars and has a concealable pocket on the back for your gun. I use it for running and its great! Check it out if you are on a budget.
Bummer. I clicked on the link for the Oakley backpack and they're discontinue.
Thomas Clark it’s still on their oakleysi.com page
nice, but I think having it only partially zipped could cause issues. like it snags on something your bag would open all the way up. also hard to defend yourself from back atacks
Thanks for the video. It was informative and helpful. I am also impressed with how you accessorized your Glock . Personally I think you should have gone with something with a longer grip such as a model # 19 , # 23, or # 21/ 21sf . Body armour in the pack , a great idea.
Great video. Helped me decide to buy one.
Good video. I like the 5.11 add on. I have a few of their products.
This is perfect, ill be ripping your setup.
There should be some "tacktical backpack brands" with hidden quick-access pockets for a gun/holster/magazines. Decades agao some one made a woman's bag or purse with hidden quick-access pockets at the side of the bag/purse. I'd think there would be many by now at the wnd of 2021. The pack you have here looks not that different from a "non-tactical" bakpack.
There are regular backpacks that have a laptop compartment at t he very back (against our backs). Could always use that for a "quick access gun pocket".
I like your idea of slipping in a bullet proof (31) plate. Why not. :)
Also, if any civilian is going to "Carry" I think the best option is using a backpack. Hides the gun/mags the best. Plus, if we're grabbed the backpack falls to the ground...thug will usually grab us around the waist to try to take us to the ground...would feel the gun if on the hip or in a shoulder holster. Once the backpack is on the ground...we might have the opportunity to still grab the gun...during the scuffle...
The best "tactical backpack is made by an Isreali company....The name of their pack is called the "Masada"....the brand I dont recall....starts with an "L>>>>"... Has 2 compartments for a bullet proof plate. And has a flap that holds the gun and magazine...that comes over one's head when deployed and gun wold be sitting on your chest...perfect position....only negative is you might not want to have to swing this "flap" over your head even though it takes only 2 seconds....
Best idea IMHO is a hidden quick access packet on the side the of the backpack....could actually make your own using a standard backpack..perhaps getting some one with sewing machine skills to help us further customize a pack. OR we could carry a "fanny pack" that sits right in front . The fact that it looks dorky is a PLUS. It's in appendix carry position offer quick access....
Weird to not hear you say “hope you’ve been well”
In a gym environment unless you were just trying to Plex on people the best concealed carry option is going to be bright neon colored bags like everyone else has it probably don't have guns in them when people see your Woodlands green they are pretty sure there's a gun in there even if there's not that's why you get those kind of looks
Have you looked into the Oakley Chamber Range bag? I have one in the same distressed olive drab.
Nice bag and great setup, my only question would be how does this work at the gym? Do you where the bag while you workout?
what holster do you use for bedtime carry?
I'm not really sure what bedtime carry is, but I use my normal AIWB holster at all times.
bed time carry. like what u wear to bed. you seem to have gun on you everywhere.
DannyBeatzEnterprise he didn’t get the joke..
I LOVE THE HOLSTER! Please comment on how to get
shoot me an email at mikeshootsguns@gmail.com and I'll get you squared away.
Nice set up, and thank you for the video,
You might consider placing your med kit on the outside, or a pocket you can get to without revealing your side arm.
I could see a time you might need to get an ibuprofen or boobo tape.
Luxottica has completely gutted this company and turned it into a shell of what it used to be just so they can have a bigger profit.
If you loved Oakley before Luxottica you'll hate it now.
Where can I buy a plate
have the same bag. strapped an ifak to the bottom straps. straps are a bit small for me though, so I'm working on swapping those out.
Nice Review friend. You should look at the Vertx line of bags for OBC, their Sling bag has a similar setup but they're pretty spendy.
That's a really nice setup! I'm currently trying to find a pack that could be used as a diaper bag but then converted to an EDC bag later on...
Haha, I haven't put much thought into what makes a good diaper bag yet, but I'm sure I'll start soon. It'll definitely be a future video!
Great video, thanks for the tips. I like this pack because it is discreet; it doesn't scream "'I am carrying a concealed weapon!"
Do you have a bag for your AR-15 pistol?
I've been rockin the belly band for the past six months with my gym clothes. My wife calls it spanx for men. But hey it works and I'd say it's more comfortable than my kydex.
You do a great job bro!
I watched your video an loved it!! I just purchased everything plus a little extras for a similar set up, in the video you said you made the holster... Do you sell them? If not is it an OWB holster without the hook?
What holster did you use?
