- This is the best bugout bag, survival bag, inch bag and camping bag made. This backpack review is of the maxpedition falcon 3 contents. I use this bag for hiking, camping and bugout purposes mostly. The bag is very durable and all contents of the bag was hand picked one piece at a time. I hope you enjoy the video and may God bless you in 2018.

Anyone wondering I’ve been using this bag for 5-6 years now every single day. It’s my go to. It has ten of thousands of off-road miles in my rzr and x3. Loaded and still works perfectly. I’d suggest this bag every single time. It’s built like a tank and extremely well thought out.
This video gave me an idea or two of things to add to my kit. You are definitely a man who values redundancy.
I just watched this a second time. I also chose the fal3, I might shed some of the weight in your bag by dropping large stone, s hook, second knife, second pot set, second ferro rod. I might add wool socks, food, a better med kit, water bladder, bags for sawyer. Additionally I would store that lighter inside. Great video thanks.
Nick Northrop I used this bag for several long trips and figured out real quick that’s it’s not comfortable after about five hours into the trips. I have changed everything since this video. I went with the ILBE RUCKSACK, different knife, cook kit, sleep system and loads of room left for gun, clothes, water and food. Be blessed and thanks for commenting.
I have connected this pack to a larger frame pack with hip belt. it works well to keep my few heavy items higher and closer to my back, then a dry bag below for my other camping type gear. total weight with water and food is 32 lbs. A good weight and comfortable on longer hikes.
I have been using this pack mostly for day hikes that include water, food and camera gear. Me being 6’5” and 295 lbs. I just can’t put extra clothes in the bag so they end up strapped to the outside of pack. But you bring up a good point, I could put the clothing in dry bags on outside and would probably be good. Now that I have the ILBE RUCKSACK I just throw the entire campsite in the bag and I’m comfortable. Be blessed
2 is one, one is none
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors Are you still using the ILBE RUCKSACK or something new?
wow all that gear. thx for sharing u gave me some ideas. Thx again.
Victor vasquez Lots of Fire replication and weight that can be cut from the bag but it will do for me. I have recently went to the ILBE rucksack and completely love it. Be blessed and thanks for watching.
Sounds good I need to do that so I can clear room in the middle compartment for extra clothes or rain jacket. Thanks again
LOVE your Bag!
I'm in charge of Disaster Response at my local Church. So, I opted for the Maxpedition GYRFALCON. I had to wait SIX MONTHS for the thing, but it was worth it. I have never liked a pack as much as my Gyrfalcon! Another reason I got that bag, is because of the position I hold, I want to have a few items I can use to help others. One plan I have is to carry about 5 each-Small flashlight & a bar of Antibacterial soap. I plan to give these out if and when something happens. In a disaster, Light & Sanitation are almost as important as water.
Bruce Forster thanks for the comment. After having the bag for a few months now. I wish I had purchased your bag. I’m a deacon in my church here in Cedartown and it’s sad that we have to conceal Cary and even be thinking about disaster. But hey it is what it is. I need more room in my bag for extra clothes and a rain jacket or poncho and maybe some sort of food storage. God Bless and enjoy your bag. Wish I had it
Nice setup! Maxpedition makes bombproof gear. I just got a LT Wright Jessmuk for Christmas, but I really like the Genesis.
Another great video amigo. Great gear and great backpack. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the comments and hope you have a good week
Great video!
Enjoyed your video. I have the Falcon II, and will probably get the III someday soon. They are great bags.
Bill Jeffries I like the falcon 3 for a over night trip but if I’m going anywhere in the winter I’m getting the ILBE RUCKSACK. it holds all my lazy items like skillets 😜. Be blessed and thanks for commenting.
Nice setup!
Sir you have some real class and finesse.....Thank you for the nice wishes for this year, your correctness, the great organization display and the absolutely awesome setup!! Really a pleasure to watch your clip.....
Be well and God bless.
carmen lucia reyes Thanks you for the kind words. Your comment is very much appreciated. Be blessed and I hope to have a new video up soon.
Impressive ! I've got the same bag
You have a lot of good quality items in that bag; kudos. You also have a fair amount of redundancy: 2 giant ferro rods & a 3rd rod on the mag bar, 2 Scripto lighters, 2 compasses, 2 headlamps, and 2 knives (three if you count the blade in the multi-tool & a 4th blade if you include the machete). Yikes, I'm glad I don't have to carry it all. Excellent video showing it all, my friend.
William Burr You are correct, I had to learn the hard way on the weight of the bag. I have cut the bag weight from 30+ pounds down to 22 lbs. I no longer carry a tarp and the tent it’s one or the other. Yes down to just one ferro rod and one lighter now and I’m definitely ditching the military compass its way heavier than the truarc compass, plus I have a compass on my phone provided I can keep it charged with solar. The two knives well one needs to go so the mora is soon out. And man the condor machete is pretty dang heavy but I use it a lot so I guess I will suffer the weight of it. I’m still trying to cut weight on the sleeping pad deal because man the static v is heavvvvvy but man is it nice to sleep on. Thanks for the comments they are definitely appreciated. God Bless
BIG LIKE
You learn a little something from every video no matter how big or small. I have been tying all the chords from the zippers by looping one into the other in tying them together but it's a real pain trying to get them apart when you're in a hurry I didn't think of using little carabiners. I didn't finish the video yet so I'm going back to your video now
thanks for the comment my kids continued to get into my bag so one carabiner solved my issue. My kids are 7 and under I just didn't want them to get to my knives in the bag. It works pretty good if I want to lock the bag down I use a gun safety lock that goes through a pistol with the long arms. Be blessed
Nice Gear...I can tell its never been actually used. I take my gear on field test a week out of every month.... Nice to have good gear but even better to use it ;)
It's reminds me of pulling stuff out of a Christmas stpcking
I want a backpack like yours !
Wow, I'm pretty surprised all that fit in the Falcon 3! It's not a huge pack but you seem to have maximized the pace. Very nice kit.
Rob Babcock Thanks for the comment I just have to make room for extra clothes somehow.
Man that set up looks great. I noticed something that gave me an idea after seeing the water bottle carrier. I think you might can mount another water bottle carrier where the knife is then mount the knife on the webbing of the bottle carrier
Reallybigmonkey1 in a more dessert kind of climate, extra water would be a great idea. In a more wet ecosystem, rolling up a rain coat and having it some place quick and easy to get too would be a bonus, so yeah, great point
"might can mount" !!! Are all you hillbillies illiterate? :-)
Just kidding, of course. I love your channel, Reallybigmonkey1
William Burr I'd put the second bottle carrier where the tent was. Put the tent on top.
Great video. I actually bought this bag based on this review! Unfortunately, I'm returning it. I was looking for something I could use as both a BOB and a hiking/camping pack. My wife and I hit the trails last weekend and after about 5 miles, my shoulders were killing me. Pack weighted 34lbs. The hip straps did nothing to help.. just completely uncomfortable. I've got a Gyrafalcon on the way so hopefully those hip straps will be a lot better! Thanks for the video.
Any update?
Excellent choices in gear the only suggestion I would give is maybe upgrading to a bigger pack I too have to use a tent living in south west Florida snugpak ionosphere I think the one with poles it’s great but great job great video thanks god bless
Brendan Fazekas I have recently upgraded to the ILBE RUCKSAK. Bag and man do I love it. It’s a little heavy but it can carry a car load of stuff. I put my entire maxpedition load into the rucksack and had over a foot of space left in top of bag for extra clothes and food. The food and clothes wouldn’t fit in maxpedition backpack so it forced me to strap tent to outside of bag. I got the ILBE RUCKSACK FOR 100$ new on eBay. Be blessed and thanks for the comment.
2 compass but no map 🤔
If I leave the bag as it is then I’m going to put the food in the tarp and fold the tarp around food. Or I’m going to move the sleeping bag to the bottom of bag and place food and clothes/ rain gear in the main compartment. Thanks for the comment
Great video...!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Would you mind posting links for the equipment...?
There are items I would like to have and I’m certain that others feel the same way.
Have a great day and Be Blessed...!
Thanks for the reminder. I just updated the video with links to equipment. As time allows I will get more links for the bag. Be good.
I normally put the small can on top of my Kleen canteen. I forgot it in my shop. Sorry about that. I have got to get a rain poncho as well
it sure is a quite fit. I have the same water bottle carrier on the sides of my bag. I dont understand the reason why you still use the orange pouch for your TOAKS 750ML... ? If you remove it, it would be easy fit. not too tight.
Jay Solis You are so correct. I have ditched the orange bag. The orange bag now holds all of my battery packs and coords. I have swapped bags and cook gear as well. I now carry the ILBE RUCKSACK for my bag and dirty by design scorpion knife, Dave Canterbury bush-pot, I ditched the condor machete and added the HULTS and bruk aneby axe. Thanks for your comment and be blessed
Very nice setup, Xtra clothes, Just a thought.
Panhandle Prepper I think I might put the tent on bottom of bag where the tarp is and wrap the tarp around tent then get another maxpedition pouch and hang on side of bag then I can clear the middle section of Bag for clothes. I work with the guy that runs reallybigmonkey1 TH-cam channel and he said same thing where’s clothes/rain jacket
I Love his channel, Been watching him a long time, I Keep a small packable wind/rain jacket in my bag, socks, Shirt, I Dont worry to much about xtra pants, Saves room that way. Been so cold here in the Texas Panhandle have not been able to get out, Hopefuly the next week, All we have for wooded area is the Local lake, Teaxs Pandle is Grass land, Very sparce for trees, Cattle is the main source here.
Panhandle Prepper I’m in Rome Ga. very cold here Ice everywhere. Ponds and lakes have thin layer of ice. Normally don’t see that here
Beautiful area, Grew up in Nashville Ga, Berrien Cnty. i miss the hunting and fishing, especially the woods.
Nice set up bro. But I have three mora hd's carry 2 in my pack and one on the hip, no need for a knife like the Wright as the Moras are cheap but just as good.
My mora is great but I chipped my blade skinning squirrels last year so I have currently bought the esee c r 2.5 and man does it skin fish and small game good. I tend to use my mora more just because it's so cheap 20$ can't beat a mora. Be blessed and thanks for the comment.
Is that the correct way to attach Molle items to main bag? I thought the loop should be woven through alternate loops (pouch to bag, bag to pouch and so on until you get to end then use the press stud)
Dave Earl you are correct my friend. Thanks for bringing that up. I will fix my bag.
This was back in 2018. What you using now? Searching for a new bag
Great gear..have e er thought about having a bug out roll ? It probably fits in the falcon III..
And you can use the outside pouches for quick needed items
Esther Herbert I haven’t looked into the rolls, but I did change bags to the ILBE RUCKSACK and wow I have a lot more room. You definitely need more space for clothing and food with the maxpedition falcon 3. Be blessed and thanks for the comment .
cool but i would take myself a refillable lighter like a clipper so i can fill before go.
and maybe a peanut lighter as backup due to cold issue with some butane lighter.
Never thought about the refillable lighter Makes more sense than bic lighters
Touching stuff like ASMR
Great set-up. I noticed you don't have a hatchet or a bigger water container. The water bags hold over 2 gallons of water in a survival situation, and then roll up into a small size when not in use.
Angel * I have two hatchets that I restored in prior videos but I opted to leave them out due to having the condor machete and the weight of the bag is getting really heavy. The bigger water container I would love to have but the bag room is gone, I barely have room for extra clothes and food. Thanks again for the comment and be blessed
Is this the foliage green colour mate?
May I suggest leaving the tent behind and using a tarp to create a floored tent instead
Great bag and setup. I put together our first bag with a Falcon 2 and can't fit another item in it - no spare clothes & socks. I actually have two of the Maxpedition canteen bags - one for water and one for food. I'll set up the Falcon 2 for my wife and get a Falcon 3 for myself.
Do you have a comms setup and DC power? That's the only thing I didn't see there. Awesome though.
No comm or power. And no bag now. I changed over to the ilbe rucksack so I could fit food, clothes and ammo. Love this falcon but to small for comfort items. Guess I’m getting old Haha. Be blessed and thanks for commenting
4:08 You have alot of real estate on the top of your kleen kanteen ...I would suggest flipping your toaks pot on top of your kleen kanteen, thus making it easier to remove.
You can put 2 pots in that water bottle container...one on the bottom and another on top.
Kanzee Thanks for the idea I will definitely try that. Be blessed and have a good Christmas
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors thank you...and many blessing to you and your family, this holiday season...cheers
Need a diddy back with to and what not. Also a tip, I love the two is one and one is none. But don't keep both in same pocket of back pack. If that part fails you lose both in one fell swoop. Other wise nice video.
SlyDz420 Thanks for the comment. And idea on separate bag. Hope you have a blessed week friend.
❤👊👍
Some nice stuff. A few holes like no map, food, extra socks. Also a shame you do not know how to open your $7 mess kit by just loosening the screw, then pivoting the handle.
Keith Hutch Thanks for the criticism. I had never owned a mess kit like that before this video. That mess kit is long gone along with half the other stuff in the bag. I have been working on primitive skills and don’t need most of the stuff packed. It’s a great bag but for me it was too small as I couldn’t get winter clothes or extra food in the bag. Love my new ILBE RUCKSACK. Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for the comment.
How tall is the bag from table to top? I've noticed on Maxpedition's website they give 2 different dimensions.
danny mcelvain The bag is around 18 inches from floor to zipper on top of bag. This is for the main big compartment. Hope this helps. Be blessed
yes, thank you very much.
My bag is alot like yours. I have the gyrfalcon. How about food? Thanks well done
RockCity Prepper If I leave the bag as it is then I’m going to put the food in the tarp and fold the tarp around food. Or I’m going to move the sleeping bag to the bottom of bag and place food and clothes/ rain gear in the main compartment. Thanks for the comment
Can you get a single person tent or camping hammock in the main compartment? It looks a bit slim.
My alps Mountaineering single man tent fits pretty good with room to spare. Thanks for watching and be blessed
so are you gonna wait until shtf to put rations?
Mr. Sway The bag has changed three times since this video. It now includes a lot more items that weigh less so I can carry food, clothes, gun, shells and poncho. Still need to make me a fishing kit for it. Be blessed
Nice set up but where you put your food??👍👍
Good question after many comments and long trips with this bag and trying to find spots to insert food and extra clothing for winter. I decided to get a bigger bag and went with the ILBE RUCKSACK. My goodness the new bag is 10 times more comfortable on long trips and I have so much room that I cant fill the bag, so I end up taking too much stuff now and suffer on weight. most of the items in the Falcon bag that you see in this video has been replaced with lighter equipment. thanks for you comment and be blessed
Needs tweaking. Did not see a 1st Aid Kit, Hygiene stuff, Map or Chow. Looking forward to the 2021 version.
Problem is bag was full without any clothes or food.
Nice set up. But did I miss it or are you missing some food 🥘 and first aid ⛑ equipment ?
michael leon Thanks for your comment And yes at the time this video was made I didn’t have a first aid kit built yet. And was definitely struggling with room in the bag for food, extra clothing, gun and ammo. So I bought another pack that is tons better and four times more comfortable. The ILBE RUCKSACK. It’s a little on the heavy side so I have changed alot of my gear to make up the difference in bag weight. Now I have room for guns ammo clothes lots of food and even have a hammock kit now. Thanks again for your comment and be blessed
Chasengunz Outdoors I’ve been thinking about upgrading my pack to that ILBE. I currently use the 5.11 72 hour rush.
Thanks for the video and sharing your ideas.
Pretty nice set up. I was really thinking it was stupid to have the medical patch where there were no first aid supplies and then you took it off. In fact, where is your first aid?Not sure why you took the bolt out of the handle of your cook kit. It is made to pivot and swing out as a handle.
Thanks for the comments. Yes I forgot I had the patch on the bag, no medical kit for now. I need to bite the bullet and build one for the bag. I have a pouch for it and that’s where the patch came from so it’s coming very soon. And just wasn’t thinking on the bolt thing. Thanks for catching that. I was making sure you weren’t asleep.
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors Medical is the most important Item..
I cannot believe the price on some of these bags 200 or more for that .. there is a store called mountain ridge that sells bag about a dollar a litre ...75 litre 75 bucks heavy duty bags as well ..weird why someone would pay 200 for something so small...I don't know its like people don't shop around they just buy what they think they need
Yep mistake on my part I now own the ILBE RUCKSACK. IT WAS LIKE 100$ and 10 times better and 100 times more comfortable. I currently use this falcon pack only for day hikes but after 5-10 miles man it’s starts to hurt. I might just make it my hunting pack and be done. I loved the pack when I first got it but when the miles started and winter time came there was no room for winter stuff and extra food. Be blessed and thank you for commenting.
What color is your backpack
Khaki is the color. Enjoy and be blessed
Food, first aid?
Thanks for comments. The bag has changed three times since this video. I have shaved a lot of weight and changed up cook set, added rain poncho, added food, dropped a knife, added gun and bullets, still no med kit- I’m slowly trying to build a good kit and suggestions would be appreciated on items people tend to leave out. Currently making a fishing kit and furthering my primitive fire skills so I won’t need so much fire in my bag. God Bless and have a good day.
That is the khaki color right?seems darker in the video
roger surez Khaki indeed. This has been a great bag for short hikes but after about 5 miles my shoulders start hurting. Be blessed and thank for commenting
Say Heah, Yup, my Maxpedition Condor 2 is still one of my Fav's. Backpacts. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
I like the pack because I don’t have to worry about breaking it. It’s a tough pack. Enjoy and be blesssd
Chasengunz Outdoors Yes, my Condor 2 is pretty tough too, and Thanx You for the Blessing, I certainly need it with what's going on in my life now. Infact, God is my Stronghold. Again, Thanx You and G. B. Y. too. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
Don't trust that little carabiner with that knife on the outside of your bag...would hate to see you lose it.😊. What are you gonna eat? Anywho overall great kit, cheers. Jerbs.
Should I buy this one?
123 456 I have used mine a lot since this video and it is holding up good with no issues. The straps cut into your shoulders after miles of walking. But I like lots of stuff when I go hiking so my bag is always heavy. The pack is small for a big guy like myself when it comes to carrying extra clothes so winter camping trips get rough because I can’t get changes of clothes in the bag let alone extra food. Two to three day hikes this bag will do the trick or day hikes with the family I couldn’t ask for better. If you want a good pack that carry’s a lot. And will never break. Check out my ILBE RUCKSACK VIDEO or other videos. It’s my new camping bag- it will carry everything and the kitchen sink. Be blessed and stay safe
how much did the bbag cost u
Backpack and all contents was around $650. But if you add the LT Wright knife then $850.
That's got to be so uncomfortable, this is why I got a vaquest back that was made for this and durable.
You are missing a #1 ((FIRST AID KIT!)) You might be hours away from help or hospital-- Especially with that sharp knife the gloves should be strapped on the out side of the pack or at least that's how I have my bag set up because I will be wearing them when setting up camp cutting wood or anything like that you scrap burn cut bruise splinter in your hands you are done I didn't see a bandana? Some kinda cloth to wipe the sweat I have one of those smocks? I'm not sure what they are called but they are 16"x16" you can look up how many different ways those could be used add that to warmth
SNOOP U 2 Thanks for the comments on the channel. Very much appreciated. I like the gloves on outside idea. Consider it done and I’m tired of having to remember which pouch there in so gloves on outside great idea. The bandana is currently kept in my new military mess kit. I just didn’t have one when video was made. I use the bandana all the time on my trips. Now on to the safety kit. I just haven’t bit the bullet and made one up yet. Need to and I want one. Any suggestions on a good kit. Would be appreciated. Or what do you Cary in yours. Thanks again and Be Blessed
Man , u dont need food????????????
If u dont , u get 10 from 10 !!!
I like your redundancy, especially with fire. But I have only one criticism, and that is all the money that you spent on this bag, yet you got that really super cheap mess kit that's not going to hold up for very long. I would certainly replace that Walmart mess kit with something more military issue.
Tabitha Martin You are so correct. I ran out of money when building my bag so I ended up with cheapo cookset. Although since this video I have ordered a military US 1982 mess kit that replaced Wal-Mart joke set. I used the new cookset in one of my camping videos and it works great. Note to everyone out there do not buy the Wal-Mart cookset it bends way too easily. Thanks Tabitha for making the comment be blessed chase
No medic kit ?
I know right. I ditched this back awhile ago and upgraded everything, I now have the med kit, gun, bullets, extra clothes, and food that wasn’t in this bag. Thanks for your comment and have a blessed day.
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors
You too bro ! 👍
Food?
Thanks for commenting on the channel. I only have room for a few protein bars due to the small size of the bag as I forgot to add a poncho, gun, and ammo. O I forgot extra clothes. I have changed the bag tremendously since this video. The knife changed, cook kit changed, I dropped one compass, dropped one ferro rod, ditched the tarp and added food, clothes, poncho, battery bank, and still no emergency kit. Be Blessed
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors I just ask for the gun ! Lol . Cheers
Looking for a bigger daypack. Want to carry enough for overnight if there is an emergency. Thinking about the falcon 3. I currently use a hazard4 plan b but your really cant keep winter clothing in it and when you exceed 25lbs it starts to wear on you. For backpacking and overnight I use my Osprey. A backpacking backpack is going to beat anything else on the market. Like your reviews but you got to much shit in those bags!
Agreed. To much stuff in the bag. I have half the items in the bag now. Lesson learned. It’s fine up to five miles. Then your doomed. To much weight. I now have the ILBE RUCKSACK It is very comfortable for hiking into campsite and can hold everything including the sink. But again it’s not light either. My trips are never over two miles to a primitive site so I normally just Cary lots of stuff. Thanks for the comment. And be blessed
Got a genesis, that polish says you’ve never used it.
William I have had the knife about 2-3 weeks. Made one video cutting cedar and currently on a hunting trip with knife on my side for edc. I brought the mora Companion and the genesis so I could do another skinning video. th-cam.com/video/-DZRHhD4ue8/w-d-xo.html
did u not have a medical kit in it?
No med kit Just added tape, super glue and already had the needle and thread in bag. I might add burn cream and poison ivy ointment
It's a nice bag and some nice gear but there are a lot of uneccessary redundancies at the expense of necessities. There is no food, no medical kit, no firearm or ammunition, no toiletries/rags and inadequate provision for clean water. One Sawyer mini and a couple of iodine tablets won't cut it. Just my opinion. I may have missed it but I didn't see a fuel can for the stove so you can't even cook the food you don't have or boil your water.
Biting Mongeese - Geoffrey Bynoe thanks for the comment. Updates on my bag since the video. Coleman stove is gone- weighs too much, forgot to add the gas bottle in the video, but it’s gone too also weighs too much. The Walmart cook set is gone and replaced with 1982 mess kit - works great for frying food, I’m now down to one lighter and one ferro rod due to my bow drill skills are way better now and don’t need redundant fire in my bag. Water I can boil so no need for filters or tablets. Medical kit well that’s a big one I’m on edge about. I opted out and just added gorilla tape for cuts and slings also the tape can be used for bow drill string fire. Rags are now inside my mess kit pouch which are used for char cloth and toilet paper if needed, seems more realistic not to have toilet paper as it runs out too fast, just wash rags out like kids diapers in good ol days. Now on to the no gun. Yes I should have added a gun. I Cary my sig p238 on my side most hiking days but if I’m bugout/ survival mode then I’m grabbing a brick of .22 LR and my ruger 10/22 or like everyone else on the ban wagon I will grab my H&R 12 gauge single shot and suffer through the weight of the shells. Also I removed one compass as I had two in setup. I added a rain poncho and have moved all equipment into different locations in bag that freed up space for food but not a lot of food. I would like to add a msr pocket rocket stove and a small butane bottle but haven’t bought it yet also need to add a can or two of off spray as the bugs are bad in Georgia. Please keep the comments coming as I am growing in the bushcraft field and definitely need all the help I can get. God Bless
Cool. Those are improvements.
Great video. One suggestion, try not to make noise slapping and putting things down.
John Ingle thanks for the comments and tips. Need all the help I can get sometimes. Thanks again
Chasengunz Outdoors ; Hope to start my own channel in the near future.
I’m starting to have a lot of fun with the channel. Lots more to come
Come on man u got a falcon 3 but u got a condor machette
E Sanford16 ha. I been looking at the new esee machetes they look great. The condor machete was recommended to me by reallybigmonkey1 aka David Pearson so I went with it to see if it was good. It’s decent Be blessed and thanks for the comment
The mainstream concept of “bug out” bag that is now common on so many channels is not only silly, but very unrealistic. If there is any significant SHTF situation, a backpack of gear will only postpone your suffering for a few days. Unless you are highly accomplished survivalist/prim tech/bush craft guy or gal. If you have not completed a 7-10 survival trip with only a knife and maybe cook can, then my prior statement is true. You need a buyout trailer or van to “bug out” for any real length of time. Do the math on how many pounds to feed/clothe/keep healthy and warm your family for 3, 6, 12 months. I have and could not carry on two horses and a mule!!
Now with that statement of reality being made, I do keep a get home bag. Mainly stocked with water, water filter, food, few other items, and a weapon with extra mags. I only keep this bag because I’m 65-100 miles away from home 2-3 times a week.
Man you are very accurate in all your statements. After having the bag for sometime now. I have shaved a lot of stuff from the bag. I am going on a pretty mountainous hike this weekend so I’m sure I will shed a bunch more stuff when I get home. I have been practicing primitive skills for a few months now and man it’s tough. It is showing me that not only is the right equipment important but physical shape is and should be number one on my list as I’m definitly to big. My ride home everyday is around 18 miles. So my hike/test this weekend will be, can I handle the pressure mentally and physically to get home to three kids and wife. Thanks for the comment It really helps out. Be blessed
Hey man thanks for the comment you are very correct and I thank you for the advise and wisdom from someone that’s been their and done that. Thank you for serving and we are blessed to have people like you to standup for this country. Be good and God Bless
NEW GEN SCOUT Actually, You are somewhat flawed. How much of a pissing match you want? The original term “bug out” was derived in late 40s. It was a military term originally, true. Later (mid 50s) the term was adopted by pilots and was their survival kit until rescue.
However the terms are/were still used as bug out or go bag and mean different things depending on situation. Bug out bag for Serbian deployment in 1995 for Strategic Command was extra BTUs, hygiene kit, etc and had nothing to do with “survival”.
So state where I am “flawed” in my comment. I clearly stated that a bug out bag is for temporary use to reach another destination, which possesses resupply BUT I called out that food should be a number one component and most of the other shit is unnecessary for a fucking 3 day hike!! My point, which was lost, is if I have a choice between 5 kinds of fire making or a damn folding shovel in my bag, I would take FOOD! I was teaching Marine Scout Snipers out of Lejeune how to track 1990-1993 long before any other branch even acknowledged it as a valid skill! I also was training Game Wardens and Military survival skills from 1993 through 1999. I have completed many primitive survival trips, 9 that were over 7 days, so you are not only one with some experience!
NEW GEN SCOUT Same here no offense. Having bad week and tone certainly being expressed. My point is and was that people load their bags with useless items. One is none and two is done but having 3,4,5 redundancies is not bright. I had another posting that I did shortly after my first that elaborated more but it’s been deleted. Certain items are highly valuable, a good knife, cordage, water purification, etc and not suggesting dismissal. But half the items most people place in there bags is just because they have not actually gone and and lived off those items for a week or so. Once the do, they will purge and in my opinion if purging, replace with food and/or ammo. My first survival trip was with a 40lb pack for 6 days. My last survival trip was a cook can/canteen, clothes on my back and a fixed blade for 11 days. Of course, at my age those days are behind me for most part.
Again, my apologies for the temperamental response. Take em easy brother.
@@jonathonblack3063 No one cares when the term bugout was originallu coined. He is talking about what it means to everyone in this decade, but thanks for the useless history lesson.
❤👌✊👏👍
great bug out bag bud i like the way you lock the bag down great idea you got yourself a new subscriber go check my channel Happy New Year
Maxpedition packs have a history of zippers blowing out. And the company routinely REFUSES TO HONOR their so-called "lifetime warranty" when a zipper fails (check out the many negative reviews on amazon dot com for proof). They want you to pay $50 for a zipper replacement. Their packs are very durable, but what good is that when your zipper is blown? No offense to Chasengunz Outdoors is intended. He just hasn't used the pack long and hard enough yet. (It looks brand new to me.)
All Maxpedition packs are overpriced. There are many other companies that offer superior products for less money. For example, 5.11, Mystery Ranch, Blackhawk, Voddoo Tactical, Eberlestock, and Condor are a few of the better companies.
I recommend the 5.11 Tactical RUSH72 Backpack which comes in 7 different colors, has a 3342 cubic inch capacity, and costs only $138 on Amazon. Or the 5.11 RUSH24 pack, with a 2275 cubic inch capacity, is comparable to the Maxpedition Falcon 3 in size, but only half the cost.
I only used the bag a few times when the video was produced. Although I have used the bag pretty hard over the past few months with no issues. The zippers seem to be holding up good. I would definitly say that the 5.11 pack is not even in the same class as the max bag. I held both bags the same day and I chose the maxpedition due to quality difference. I really wanted the 5.11 bag until I had it in my hands. If I had one complaint about my bag I would say it’s not big enough for me. Be blessed and thank you for the comments they are very much appreciated.
Where is the gun ? No gun, no survive
Exactly I ditched this bag and went to the ILBE RUCKSACK. Bigger and better bag. I now have guns, food, extra clothing, med kit, a different sleep system, and different cook kit and still have room for more. The ILBE RUCKSACK is rated for over 100 lbs. if needed so my 40lbs of junk should be fine. The maxpedition pack hurts after a few miles so it had to go. Be blessed
@@ChasenGunzOutdoors thanks for the answer, awesome channel
Huh
Sorry. I don't trust people with clean, new, barely-used gear. That eliminates about 95% of BOB videos on YT. Even if you hate nutnfancy, at least he uses the crap out of his stuff before reporting on it. Same goes for tools.
rts Thanks for the comment. Guess you will have to watch my other videos to see it get used a lot. Be blessed.
First aid anyone??
Matej Hosner I have been on edge about the medical kit. Looking for a good one. Do you prefer one over the next. Guess I’m going to build me one myself. Be blessed
Please add me it won't let me add u ty
You're taking too long mate, goodbye.
Your shoulders have to hate you. Awfully heavy weight with no real system for distributing weight. You’ve put in a lot of thought but didn’t give much thought to weight considerations. I’m no ultralight enthusiast but It has to be considered to a certain extent or else you’re gonna dread your hikes eventually, which defeats the purpose. You have a lot of redundancy. If you would drop the unnecessary redundant items (i.e. multiple pots, pans, knives, utensils) that would help you lose the weight. But in reality your pack should have some type of frame system and weight distributing system to take that weight off your shoulders and put some on your hips. I’m not trying to be a know it all, but I’ve been in your shoes, brother, and believe me I had some trips I’d rather forget. These Chinese companies throw those packs together and try and make them attractive with a billion different pockets and molle sewn all over it when more pockets means more zippers and material and more weight just in the pack itself. If you look at it, why does everything have to have its own pocket or space? When I figured this out, my trips became more fun, longer, and didn’t seem like so much work or I wasn’t desperately wanting to reach my camp for the night. But do what works for you and give it some thought (your shoulders will thank you). Peace brother, and happy trails, heading out in a couple days for a few days on the trail myself.
hi where in scotland is this
