Excellent video! I have the same bag and am currently kiting it out. Thank you for going through it and making this video.
Taken it on so many multi Treks including Kilimanjaro, Everest base camp never given me a single issue. nothing is a comfortable and ergonomical as this. Even proper hiking packs from Osprey can't compete.
I am on a wait list with this bag...seen your video...glad you showed the fit. Looks excellent and thanks for sharing.
I hope the bag works out well for you. I have been really happy with mine. Thanks for watching!
Very nice video and your load out is great!
Thank you very much!
That is a damn fine kit
Super well done kit.
This set up is phenomenal. Holy hell.
Glad you think so, thank you for your comments!
Awesome Pack and load out.. well planned
Sweet! I have been waiting for this video.
Great bag setup and I love the intro!
KSGunGuy Thank you KS, and thanks for watching!
I would love to have a full list of your contents. Look like a great setup.
Try army rolling your clothes. You might save a little space and itll make it a bit tidier. Great content and bag setup
Great video. Nice to see how you stocked your bag. I actually have a pair of the Gyrfalcons coming. I too am from Colorado and plan to use a 3 layer military style sleeping bag. The only draw back with it is that it weighs 10 pounds. What sort of bag do you use?
very nice thanks for the video
Great video. Just bought the Gyrfalcon in khaki/foliage from a seller on ebay last week. I'm pretty stoked about it considering how hard this bag is to find. Currently using a Falcon III and it's a great bag but I should have the Gyrfalcon in a few days and I'm looking forward to getting it set up. I've got a jumbo versipack that I use for EDC so I'm going to go check out that video next. Always nice to get a fresh perspective and new ideas.
Thank you Christopher, I hope you are happy with the Gyrfalcon. I really like mine and the versatility it has. The Falcon III is a great bag as well, we use it as a Family GHB in our family vehicle (th-cam.com/video/lnqN7buz2oM/w-d-xo.html). You'll gain a bit more space in the Gyrfalcon (only about 1L) but I really like the detachable part of the bag. Thanks for watching!
Great channel!! Just hit subscribe!!! Thanks for sharing,and please keep making videos!!
Thank you Stuart, that is appreciated. Many more videos on the way!
Nice bag!! I'm thinking of converting from my 5.11 Rush 72.
I'm really happy with mine. It will be about 15L smaller then the Rush 72, but I found room for everything I needed and it helps me to make sure I'm in the right weight range. They are hard to find at the moment, but supposedly Maxpedition is having more made. Thanks for watching!
I spoke with Maribel at Maxpedition. She said the Gyrfalcon will be available again on August 1 2017-but only in Black or Khaki/Foliage. I'm planning to buy the Khaki/Foliage Bag.
Thank you for the update Bruce, that is extremely helpful! When I spoke with them last they didn't have an ETA on when they would have them available, so it is good to hear that they are coming back. I really like my Khaki/Foliage color bag, looks sharp
Opticsplanet.com has them in stick right now. They also have them listed on ebay with free shipping.
Nice setup. I missed a powerbank and some Power cords for charing your phone
Good Point, a good power bank like the Anker Powercore would be beneficial.
I like your set up with one exception. Ditch the CRKT eatin tool and get a longer spoon. It makes life easier stirring and eating your dehydrated foods. Subbed to see what's next.
Thank you Rob, that is an excellent point!
The Gyrfalcon is BACK IN STOCK! Just ordered mine an hour ago.
Excellent news, thank you Bruce!
I wish I could find this bag and color. My Falcon 2 is quite cramped and getting well worn. Nice setup.
Pat Pourier thank you! After speaking with Maxpedition the bag is supposed to be back in stock on August 1st, but only in the Black and Khaki/Foliage colors (Mine is the Khaki/Foliage) so hopefully they will be available again in a few days!
I spoke to Maxpedition. The lady I talked to said the Gyrfalcon will be available again on July 28th of this year. But in only two colors-Black & Khaki-Foliage. I plan to buy the Khaki Foliage. Hope this is useful to you.
Bruce Forster yes. Amazon has the black. I was holding out for the kahki one. Thanks!
Will this fit a heavier set fella? I have the condor I think it is, ah what a joke of a small bag, it’s obvious this gry falcon is larger, but what about waist strap will it go around a 40 inch waist, and shoulder straps, are they adjustable for a larger upper body. Body builder type body? Cause I like the looks of this bag, thanks oh and what if any sustainment pouches would fit good on the sides?
It will indeed. I'm not a small person by any means. 6' tall with broad shoulders. Waist strap comfortably fits 44" waist. Waist strap maxes out at 64". Personally I find it extremely comfortable with some awesome features. And Maxpedition just got these back in stock a day ago. They go quick so if you want one I'd pick it up now.
I am thinking of buying that pack, how tall are you? Thank you for a great video!
I am 6' and I am really enjoying this pack personally.
That 5 X 7 Tarp also caught my Eye. What Brand is it, where did you buy it & how much did it cost? Have you field tested it yet? What is its thickness in Mils?
Hi Bruce, I haven't field tested the tarp yet. Its on my list to do, just haven't had time yet. The tarp is made by Outdoor Products (amzn.to/2hjpIhm) and is a thin urethane coated fabric (nylon perhaps?) It has several grommets (which could tear out rather easily), I usually prefer using tarp clips as well. Its big enough to make a small ridge-line, but I would be concerned about it lasting through higher winds. I have found a few reviews on youtube if you search for the product name.
Thanks for writing back. I really DO enjoy your channel!
Thank you Bruce and thank you for being a subscriber!
Have you gone out hiking with this pack on your back? Have you done it in the rain, snow, extreme heat or in a day with low visibility after an exceptionally long trek? You should. I saw your inhaler and heavy loads like that will cause you serious trouble in those situations that in a “society collapse” type of thing, help won’t be coming for you. So, if I were you, I’d get to pushing your body to its limits before limits push you. Good luck
Good Evening Aaron and thank you for watching the video. I have indeed hiked with this bag on several occasions in various weather. I also often hike with a Deuter child carrying backpack and a child over 40 pounds, plus gear. As I am sure we can all agree on, we prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Carrying an inhaler is one of those items. I haven't used it in years, but its there for that "what if" scenario if needed. I do appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching.
That looks like a very good set up for a BOB. Is it for one person or a shared bag with your wife and her BOB?
I have a few extra items in it to share with the family if needed, but it is setup as a one person bag. Everyone in the family has their own, and we suggest that so that everyone has what they need on them. If someone gets separated than they have their own setup that they can sustain themselves with.
Hi, I like your video just wanting to know what are the essential oils you use or mixtures that you carry? Thanks
10/13/2020 Friends, Just a note. I just VOTED , Live and in Person TODAY, Louisville, Jefferson CO. Kentucky. Ask me how I feel!!! Thank You, and this feels good. Don
Exercising the right to vote is one of the best feelings of being free. I hope we can move forward from the elections without incident, but I fear we are just at the start of what is to come. Stay prepared!
I'm 6 Foot 3 Inches tall, with a long torso. Do you think this would be a good fit for my frame?
I'm 6' 0" with most of my height in the torso, so I think the bag would adjust well for you. There are still a few inches left on the straps after I have it adjusted for me.
Thank you for responding to me-most appreciated.
Maybe I missed it but how much does the bag weight?
I apologize, I missed seeing your comment. The Bag itself weighs 5 lbs. As I have it loaded out in the video the bag full weighs 27.8 lbs. I apologize I did not see this sooner!
just wondering, isn't that bag very heavy?
ulas o Actually the bag weighs just over what the previous Condor Assault pack (the oak itself) weighed, so for the utility it is worth the small added weight. As for the overall weight of the bag with all the items, due to the frame in the bag it actually carries quite well.
I have that same 5X7 Tarp. The one thing I love about it, is that it fits into the back pocket on milspec BDUs. When I go out, I put my first layer kit in my pockets, so I have everything I need to shelter the night on me, at all times.
Good tip, I hadn't thought about that but it would fit nicely. It is always nice to have the basics on your body.
Nobody ever invites you to a wedding?
Where people gonna go bugging out?are you gonna leaving your house forever and anything in it?btw can we put tent inside gyrfalcon?
Depends alot on your individual plans. Personally we have them staged and ready to go in case we ever needed to leave the house in a hurry, we live in a Forrest fire prone area. If you can grab your BOB you at least have basic hygiene items, money, clothes and some other things.
As for the tent, it would be hard to fit one inside the Gryfalcon itself, but it does have molle on the bottom of the bag, you could easily attach a tent to the bottom of the bag for carrying with your kit. Thanks for watching!
@@Dynastypreppers thank you for your response, ok about the gyrfalcon, I know we can detach the lower bag and make it a waist bag, but when the lower bag still on, can you extend the straps to carry a folded tent?
@@rogersurez9120 That will depend quite a bit on how full you have the jump pack and how large the tent is. I just tested and was able to fit a smaller 1-2 person rolled tent in the straps with the jump pack, so it is possible.
No sleeping or shelter set up?
I have a sleep/shelter system in place in the same cabinet, but not in the bag itself. Would vary greatly here dependent on the season.
How much does it weigh?
The Bag itself weighs 5 lbs. As I have it loaded out in the video the bag full weighs 27.8 lbs. Thanks for watching!
what is the weight of this bag when it is empty, of course?
Hi Tellya, thank you for watching. The Gryfalcon weighs around 5 lbs unloaded. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks! I just ordered mine today
Awesome! We would love to see how you set yours up!
Well, looks like I spoke too soon. It looked like it was in stock but, now I received an email saying "Sold out!" , no ETA about restock :( (Many people say it's discontinued so I guess that'll never happen)
I may be mistaken but I believe they only discontinued some of the colors of the Gyrfalcon bag. I have a message in to them to confirm.
Have you considered a Sawyer Water filter as a backup to your Katadyn? I like them because of the screw on feature that lets you fill 1 & Two Liter Pop Bottles. MY thought is you could use that to fill other people's plastic bottles to help them out in an emergency, while preserving the Katadyn for you & your family. I have the Katadyn Hiker Pro & a Life Straw. I'm planning to buy 2 or 3 more life straws to be able to give out in a true SHTF. I'm ALSO going to get a Sawyer AND a Renovo, the Renovo, if I like it, will replace the Life Straws, due to the Renovo's third stage Carbon Element to remove unpleasant tastes from grasses & such.
This coming Saturday, I'm being installed as My Church's Disaster Response Officer. I've had MUCH training, take this subject matter VERY seriously, and I walk the walk.
We really like the Sawyer water filters. The Kids always have their Sawyer Squeeze with them. I carry a spare Sawyer in the truck, and have the Sawyer Minis in most of the bags. It's always a good idea to review the items in your bags, and water being as important as it is it would probably be a good idea to add a Sawyer Mini to the bag. I havent personally looked into the Renovo, would like to hear your thoughts on it once you try it out.
Never keep all your fire starting tools together, things get lost and wet, you want it all separate in case one compartment gets wet or damaged
GOT My Gyrfalcon Last Evening.
After getting your hands on it what are your thoughts?
I think it needs to be just a little bit larger. The Velcro fastened bottom pouch holds my Handheld Ham Radio, A couple Antenna's, mic, and batteries in the rear pocket. The front pocket holds my small medical kit. If the entire design was just Two Inches wider, I could fit everything I plan to carry in the pack as an EIGHT Day Emergency Kit.. I got the food into the middle pouch just fine. The Main Compartment could be 3/4 inch deeper as well. For 99% of Gyrfalcon Owners, the design is FABULOUS! My needs are a little different, however.
I'm going to need a couple of Condor 4 X 4 pouches on each side of the Hip Belt. I'm also considering a wider Maxpedition Bag to put in place of the current tear away unit; I can put some Hook strips on the back of that with Fabric Glue, which I THINK will work well, and have a minimal visual impact on the overall appearance of my Gyrfalcon. OR, I'll find a same width, but DEEPER Khaki bag, and do the Fabric Glue job on IT instead. If this works, I'll have a friend make a YT Video, showing what I've done if successful.
I WILL MAKE NO MODIFICATIONS WHAT-SO-EVER TO THE GYRFALCON OR THE TEAR AWAY BAG-ALL WILL BE KEPT ORIGINAL. I'm an Engineer, so I think I CAN come up with something that will solve my problem and still be visually appealing AND consistent with my Gyrfalcon's current appearance.
If the prototype mod IS successful, I plan to share it with Maxpedition.
Everyone I have shown this pack to LOVES it!
Personally, even with the minor unexpected issues I've encountered-simply because of my gear requirements as there is NOTHING wrong with the pack itself, I am WELL pleased with the quality and feel it is worth the money I paid for it!

Glad to hear you are happy with the bag Bruce. I always find it hard to match a product with what I envision using it for too. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, but it sounds like you have a good plan to address this. Would love to see the video on the mods you make to the bag as well as the contents you decided to use.
I do agree I wish it was a bit wider, it would have made it much easier to fit everything in the bag, but then again I would have just added more "stuff" to it and been back in the place with it being too heavy.....
its OK but a little radio in bag is very important success.
I agree, but I do not keep my radios in my bags. There is always a radio in each vehicle and the others are in the house with the chargers to maintain the batteries.
You should have SOMETHING in the way of comms, either in the bag or on your person at all times. At least this is how I was taught in EMS training.
speaks friend your kit is good but needs to improve its fire kit it is weak
I agree. And I think he should have at least ONE day of food in his pack at MINIMUM!
I am always open to suggestions, there are 5 ways to start a fire (lighter, matches, a magnesium bar, a solo scientific aurora ferro rod and a UST sparkie along with a fresnel lens) along with 5 tinder options (3 wetfire and 2 esbit tablets) and 50' of fire cord in the bag, not sure what else you would suggest to start a fire. As for food there are three days worth of food in the bag itself between the larabars, kind bars, sos bars and backpackers pantry meals.
I stand corrected.
Here is more of an FYI for all of your subscribers: Someone GAVE me THIRTY(!) No. 10 Can of Mountain House FD foods. What I did was to measure out the servings-as MY body requires-and put them in Vacuum Seal Bags. By "Shrinking" them down in this fashion, I have been able to put EIGHT DAYS of food into my Kelty 50.
That is a great idea. I love the vacuum sealer for things like that. Since I only have a small pot I decided to leave the Backpckers pantry meals in the original bags so that they can be heated and rehydrated in the bag with what Im carrying.
An update on the Backpackers Pantry. My wife & read the Ingredient Panels. Sadly, MOST of the Backpacker's Pantry entree's have very LOW actual FOOD value! Mountain House has a fairly new line of Ultra Compressed packaging on some of THEIR entree's, Similar to the LRP (Long Range Patrol Meals), ALSO, I believe, made by Mountain House. What I DON'T(!) like about the LRP's is the even HIGHER Salt Content! A few days ago, I tried the Backpacker's Stroganoff. The Mountain House tastes MUCH better IMO. Furthermore, after I ate the Backpacker's Stroganoff, I became sick to my stomach.
Speaking ONLY for myself, I plan to stick with the Mountain House, and reduce them down into my own Vacuum Sealed pouches to emulate the packing style of the Backpacker's. One last item is the Mountain House, at least in my area, costs slightly less.
A very large volume of the backpack. But the use of space is unreasonable. In fact, the place is small. If the volume of 45 liters to cling to even the first-aid kit on the outside is stupid.
The Maxpedition Gyrfalcon is a 36L bag, not 45. The first aid kit is on a tear off pouch that is easily accessible while wearing the bag or while not wearing the bag. I would rather have the med pouch be easily accessible and take up less room then try to stuff it somewhere in the bag where I could not access it.
AS a medic, I take YOUR side on this!
Единственное оправдание такого количества бесполезного барахла это необходимость похудеть, таская его...
I disagree, but to each their own. Everything in the pack has a specific use.
