- In this video we are going to take a look at the Vanquest Katara 16, which has been my EDC bag for the last 2 months or so. Overall, this bag is excellent - great build, great organization, and very comfortable. The one thing I'd mention is that it's not built for larger laptops - it holds my 13 inch Mac nicely but it won't hold much more. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Love mine. Used to think it was over priced, but appreciate the quality now more than ever. Its been my EDC bag for two years, now. Don't typically carry off body, but enjoy the hidden pocket on the few occasions I've needed it. Gonna be able to pass this on to my kids and its likely to last them a lifetime, as well.
Hi Tim! This was the only pack by vanquest I didn’t like. It’s a minimalist carry for sure. Had it as my primary work pack x3 months. Very minimal space in the main pocket. Definitely a no go. The cubes are AWESOME
It’s a beautiful pack...BUT the straps’ Velcro makes a lot of noise too. I give it a 3 out of 5. Love your reviews.
Agreed. Not huge so might be a bit too small for some.
Loved this video!!! Tozers Pursuit of God is one of my favorites!
That's a great pack, and the price is very fair considering the workmanship, and quality. I don't need one that large, but I like how well it's organized.
I like the cube idea. Helps with organization
Yeah they are cool
Always great videos.
Thanks!
Awesome pack
Nice pack!
Thanks for the review. Quality products
Thanks for watching.
Literally just got this bag yesterday. Coming from a vertx gamut and trying to downsize
Yeah - that's my challenge too - I tend to carry too much.
Very nice pack. I'm more into sling bags and messenger bags for edc myself. I don't like having something on my back in public. Way too easy for someone to steal something. I generally just go with my Ribz, but I don't carry a laptop or tablet though. They still make quality products though.
Thanks for your video, Please, where I Buy your patches? What the link?.... Thank you
I have patches available- email me At everydaytacticalvids@gmail.com
Do you have any recommendations for getting a ready made "go bag"?? Want to prepared for at least a 72 hour period. Thanks
That backpack is awesome where did you get it I would like to have one I need a good backpack got pockets like that
Tim, I think the word you're looking for when talking about something that's "not quite see through" is "translucent". :P Excellent quick review.
Ah, you forgot the CCW compartment! PS. Love your Christian literature
Good call
Never CCW in a back pack.
Does anyone think that a Katara 20 or 22 would make even that more perfect? I really like my 16 but man I wish it had a bit more room.
Absolutely. I’d love a larger version
I want to buy a patch from you,Tim
Good deal - email me at everydaytacticalvids@gmail.com and we can nail that down.
I would love to get your patch or sticker. I’m building my new TH-cam studio and the wall behind me will be the patch wall of all the best gear and channels out there. Your one of them
Shoot me an email and we can work it out. Everydaytacticalvids@gmail.com
I'd like a patch if you can spare one.
Tim, I really like your everyday carry bag setup. But it's not "grey man" at all, this bag(velcro panel/patches) would make you stick out in a crowd and or alert someone that you have knives/gear or maybe even a gun on you. Having this bag on you would definitely make you stand out to any security. Ramdon scenario, what if there was a person about to commit a mass shooting, that person may see you with this tacticool looking bag and probably think that you most likely have a gun on you. So that person may think if I take him out first(snipe) he can't potentially shoot me back and stop his mass shooting. Personally, I'd rather carry a bag that's a lot more "grey man" and helps you blend in with a crowd. So that's why I carry/use the Maxpedition Prepared Citizen 2.0 because it's designed to mimic a classic Jansport backpack. I eve made a custom Jansport meral patch to go on it which makes it even more gey man.

Would like to know more about your current church literature. Sweet bag.
Glad to share more - feel free to e-mail me at everydaytacticalvids@gmail.com. Meanwhile in my bag I've got my travel Bible and also copies of The Story, a great summary of the Gospel: thestoryfilm.com
Thank you for sharing that!
Nice blog
At this juncture in time I'm going with a bigger EDC pack because it may turn into my long term survival. Of course as in my van I will have a bible inlcuded along with my sas guide.
So you’re telling us that you use a tourniquet everyday?
Negative but good to have at all times
What’s up Tim
Yo yo
EverydayTacticalVids would love to talk about doing a collaboration video
All this back packs are over rated and over price. Any Walmart pack can do the same. We never had theme before why now?. N*** Please!!!
