I take carrying seriously. I carry everyday, even in my house. I have caught a lot of crap over it from family and friends. Funny thing though, a couple of weeks ago my dog started freaking out and my doorbell rang. The young lady that lives down the road from me was standing on my front porch, bleeding and with and obviously broken arm. Her brother attacked her with a baseball bat. I got her inside, closed and deadbolt the door, called the police... who didn't arrive for 15 to 20 minutes. The whole time I figured I may have to use my ccw to protect us. Luckily nothing happened, but you never know when something might. Better to have it than need it.
I just recently gave up any tenuous grasp on fashion sense that I may have misguidedly still laid claim to and bought two concealed carry fanny packs. After my soul finished screaming it’s last desperate gasp into the ether, lamenting how I’d never be cool again if indeed I ever was, I received my Blackhawk fanny pack 2 days ago. The thing is huge! Definitely seems like you could fit a full size in it but haven’t tested anything out just yet. I also grabbed a Helikon-Tex in the flecktarn camo scheme in one of those truly pathetic attempts to try and retain even the slightest modicum of coolness. I’m reliably advised it’ll arrive sometime between next month and never. Hope this gave someone a laugh 😆
I thinks its odd,..they finally made very small guns that can be easily concealed...But instead of understanding that everything is a trade off...We take that slim small easily concealed gun and then extend the mag,..extend the barrel length with a comp,..add a ŕed dot,...then all of a sudden,..its a full size gun...
Started fanny pack carrying last month. It's been extremely advantageous for being able to dress however and wherever I wish without any concern of printing or otherwise having my gun show. In addition to comfortably carrying all my normal EDC, I've been able to carry other nice things like sunglasses. The Vanquest Dendrite is the best CCW pack because it has all the organization for a gun and such but without the tactical look
I've been carrying for over 40 years in every conceivable manner from small-of-back, shoulder, appendix, cross-draw, pocket, ankle, fanny pack, and now, for the last 12 years in a shoulder sling pack. For ME it's more versatile although, admittedly, not the most efficient or fast. I try to make up for the lack of speed by being ultra-aware whenever I'm out. I have many friends and family that are in LE and I associate with LE on a pretty regular basis. My point is, I've never had any of them question, "what's in the pack???" So off-body carry is a legit option.
One thing that is very vital when using a fanny pack, is the holster position. The muzzle be pointed down per safety rules. If its facing to the left or to the right and you are not alone in a closet, your firearm is violating rules. Check the pack to make sure it can accommodate your muzzle facing down. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
Man, I love my fanny pack. It's funny because being 49 years old, I can look geeky with a fanny pack on and the whole time I have my "burner" on me. It's great! Very inconspicuous!
I use one of the Maxpedition Fatboys. It carries everything and slings right over my shoulder with no issues. Nobody seems to even notice it or care that I have it. I've put everything from a Glock 19 to a Ruger LCP II in the back pocket.
I love the references in OZ. Have a friend in South Oz who told me several: a person who's just traveling around, or basically lives in car parks, is called a "blow-in".
if the fanny pack isn't casual looking it will stand out too. you want one in fun, social and fashionable colors. not black, grey, military green with tactical designs...
Good video. I use to wear fanny packs all over south east asia when I taught english in Japan. Why did they go out of fashion they are excellent for conceal carry.
I carried a glock 48 in a major water park this last weekend. Smart carry. Wore it under my trunks and over my undershorts. Sewn in a internal 'belt loop' to keep the smart carry strap from riding up the back. Went down water slides and everything. Walked it right through security. Crap out if the pockets after it went off. Its really easy people.
I use a helikon Tex possum Fanny pack and I LOVE IT. I carry my Glock 43x with a mission first trigger guard holster tethered to the inside of the main compartment. It’s a great option for carrying a pistol without wearing a belt.
Was kiting my wife around at a Marshall's, saw the Highland Tactical and decided to buy it. Never imagined it could work as a CC. I drive all day so appendix gets really annoying. And I drive into pretty suspicious areas, even at night. So this might be the perfect set up.
I've used a fanny pack from the moment I conceal carried. I tend to use tactical style packs, with more pouches and other attachments, including molle on top so I have my flashlight available. I'm able to carry my pistol, couple extra mags, and all of my EDC stuff. I started out with leather, but found pistol and mags wore out the fabric dividers and liners too quickly.
Literally got that same Highland Tactical fannypack a year ago at Burlington Coat Factory, of all places 😂. Still amazes me I found it in there for about $15
Good Video, however I'm on a security team at my church. Can you show some options such as a bible cut out models? or more conceivable less obvious options. Something that will blend in a family environment.
Love ur vids sootch,..keep up the Good work and God Bless The fanny pack def works,.I do the same thing,..except i use a tiny sling pack,..just so its a pack,..and not a fanny pack
I clicked because of the palmetto koozie. OD green pack with the word "tactical" on it screams CCW. I watched the entire video when I realized this is the I carry back ups for my back ups- Vaseline cotton ball guy. I'm really surprised he only had one book and one koozie.
Yea, the OD green is a bad choice for a grayman look. The comp on the CCW is overkill, to me, as well. I wonder how much money Don has wasted on so MUCH edc, prepper and fire arm stuff? His yearly income, must be well north of $250,000 a year. He probably could retire, if he'd reduce his monthly expenditures.
Highland tactical is A LOT A LOT less expensive at rosses and Burlington. That Fanny pack was $14 yesterday. Almost got it. Their bag is solid too. I’ve had it about four years. A solid as my 5.11 or voodoo tactical stuff.
The main purpose for a fanny pack in my opinion, is to carry a concealed weapon, a spare mag, and identification. Used as such, it provides safe, reliable, and sure security access, should you have to use the weapon. Most phones come with their own carrying clip. As far as anything else like books, drink holders, etc., they are best carried elsewhere or left at home.
@Guerilla Radio My point is they are an available option made for carrying your phone separately from where you're carry your gun. That's much better, safer, and makes a hellava lot more sense. You'd think an experienced CCW holder would know that. I guess not.
If I could find a slimmer or thinner pack that would hold G19X w/ a Holosun Optic on it. I might go to a pack. I think it would come in handy for my fishing days while out in the kayak. I don't want something to bulky basically
I have a Bagmaster Fanny pack I wear out when I have shorts on and out and about , I carry a Glock 19 with a spare magazine, IFAK, Knife and cell phone and most times don’t even know I have it on !
taking a play from a book by A. American I'm trying out a Maxpedition Versa-Pack. Using a QVO velcro holster adapter I have my Safariland holster in the gun pocket. The pack also has a full IFAK and water and other small items. Can wear the pack so it's in front of you with the gun pocket zipper open.
When I walk in our safe suburban neighborhood, my husband still insists I take my carry with me. I'm small so it's small (Bodyguard), however exercise wear does not lend itself to carrying. My friend gave me a small over the shoulder bag. Hubs said I wouldn't be able to find my firearm. I said I can just use it in the bag if I have to, but I've never had trouble finding it.
I know I’ve asked this heaps before I’m sorry Hi sootch do you have an idiots or not so clever video on putting and packing a bob or ghb for the beginner in all of us like what and where to pack it in the bag
You might as well carry a backpack if you’re gonna lug around all that stuff. At this point, it’s really just a small backpack on your hip and would probably look ridiculous.
I've found that the Highland Tactical side release buckles may become loose over a short time and will pull open unexpected - replaced mine with a military grade buckle, cheap and available enough to try a few.
The lighter the better and more compact the better when it comes to your firearm. I know the die hard 1911 fan's out there, that can conceal carry a 1911 in their sock. Carrying a full size 1911 in a waist pack while walking will be fun for about an hour, or less. The weight on the waist in relation to the fanny pack carry, is not fun.
I don’t know man, that pack is screaming tactical Timmy! It’s really big for a fanny, I think I would prefer something a tad smaller and not military in color.
my ccw beach fanny pack has only my handgun and reloads in it. my wallet, keys & cell phone ride in another fanny pack. if i need to grab my handgun i dont want other stuff in the way. all my fanny packs are small and totally untactical looking.
I couldn't get the neomag mag carrier to work for me. Getting the mag holder onto and off my pants was a pain in the butt. I sent mine back for a refund.
Find one fully water proof for beaches or swimming pool areas able to be dumped into Water and not leave it behind with someone needed to watch it and still go swimming and so on either way.

I bought one for my daughter. I’ve been playing with it to see what I can fit into it. It’s my daughters.
Fanny packs have been in style for a little while now. I grew up in the 80s when they were big but I just can never bring myself to wear one now.
It did. Thx.
I'm also somewhat about' the look'. I mean, if I'm going to defend myself and/or k*ll someone, I want to look good, doing it!

Not really. A regular p365 with threaded barrel extended 12 rounded red dot light is still smaller and slim then a Glock 19

I have had mine for about 6 months... Love it!!! So easy to carry and conceal!!!
The Hellcat RDP is pretty sweet. Love the muzzle device self keying feature.
I wear mine only when I hike up my white socks and wear sandals.

Then I use the urinals while wearing socks and sandals
You're the man. I didn't think anybody carried like me.
I like having a gun-purposed waist pack or sling bag. Even the very small ones easily hold my EDC.
I got a sling bag , very happy with that , 6 Euro; aliexpress.

For several decades, I cc fanny-packs made by 'Anderson©'... fabricated by a family in Sonora, California.
I visited their store-front shop, and watched the mom and granny constructing my packs to-order.
.
Unfortunately, they closed around 2012 or so.
Fortunately, I buy bulk, so I had probably five in various sizes.
I own more than one because with my 24/7/360° use, I wear them out.
.
One advantage to their design:
* the belt works like a standard belt holding-up your trousers, a complete circle, and the pack hangs on the belt
With that system, the pistol compartment lays flat(ter) instead of forced into the arc of my torso.
.
After Anderson closed, I experimented with other packs, but nothing is built for the comfort, durability, and utility of an Anderson.
