The ubiquitous cascading slow motion water shot. Classic! My wife and I enjoy watching your videos together and this one was no exception. Great review as always. Keep up the great work my friend.
I've watched several of your gear and pack videos, a lot of them actually. As soon as I got off the other night I went home and started working on another pack/bug-out bag! When it comes to safety and necessities, I now believe in being prepared for whatever may come my way. Thanks!! I'm working on a day pack for my dad currently lol hey, small movements make big waves!
I just LOVE watching your videos! Because of you, I purchased a Maxpedition Beefy Organizer-I LOVE IT! Saving my Pennies & hope to get a Gyrfalcon Pack before Winter sets in. Using a Walmart Fieldline at present-It is better than nothing. It lives in my vehicle and is provisioned for myself for EIGHT days. Keep 'em coming, Sootch. You have helped me tremendously!
An excellent review, as always, with lots of detailed explanations and demonstrations in real time. I shall have to go check out this awesome pouch! Thanks a lot man.
I like the way you have been doing the beginning of your video's. A quick look at what your video is about. Good selection of music that goes with the video. As always your video's are very detailed. Great job!
Nice job Sootch, I have boughten a lot of their gear (Maxpedition) cause of your reviews. It's the best stuff for my purposes! Thanks, cause I wasn't aware of them before your reviews.
Nice review Sootch. The DEP looks like pretty good quality pouch for sure and I like the new design and color. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up.
Smart of Maxpedition to update the look of their products. The classic look is classic, but isn't for everyone. The new bag styles are much more modern and will appeal to a wider audience. Smart decision.
Great review! Always a pleasure watching. If you can get your hands on one of the mrz pouches I'd love to see a review of it. Thinking about buying one but would really like your input on it before doing so. Thanks again. Team Sootch!
Sootch you need to mention every once in a while the different channels you got I think a lot of people are missing out on your videos, keep up the great content!
Nice pack man. For your flashlight I would recommend the Thrunite TC10V2. It has a high setting of 900 lumens and the low setting burns for 88 days one one charge. It takes 1 18650 battery and it has a USB port to recharge the light. In a bug out situation you could use a solar panel to recharge. Nice vid stooch thanks man. You always have awesome vids with stuff I've never seen. Peace
Nice review. I don't see anything in the new stuff the size of my Beefy organizer and I have that packed to the hilt. Keep in my truck as EDC bag that is easily taken from vehicle to vehicle.
Looks really nice but what i am waiting for is to see if they update there m4 waistpack or there other canteen cover, would probably buy it in a heart beat! great review as always!
Would prefer the 'legacy" nylon PALs webbing as opposed to the rubber/composition. Particularly on the sides to hold a quick grab item like a pen or penlight or to attach a small pouch for a knife, multi tool or torch..
Another great well thought out executed review! Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Mr. Tang should put you on the payroll or at least give you a commission.
I wonder if the clips on the back of the bag would eventually get in the way as you carried this pouch throughout the day. I never attach these pouches to bags. Taking from the truck, into my office and then home... it seems like they would get in the way. Hmmm, this is holding me back from a purchase.
I use a cheapy version of these packs when I am on a UTV or piece of equipment away from my truck. I often need to carry my phone, note pad, pen, my Garmin gps and a few other things. This would be perfect.
nice video thanks for sharing friend, question is if you could only get one is this one worth the extra funds over say the mini or the slim which is more budget minded?
I was going to buy the riftcore backpack from the new Maxpedition AGR Line, but as I saw the price (european by the way), I almost fell off the chair. (Up to 70% more expensive than in the US - ... Insane!)
It looks like a very nice futuristic/ tactical bag. However, it doesn't seem to be as roomy as the original Max v1 and its more expensive aswell. Unfortunately, I do not think its made in the USA but rather Vietnam like its counterparts. Over all, its more compact, more cost effective and ur limited to its 2 seperate compartments IMO. Depending on ur application or personal needs. Good vid, thx for sharing.
I love all the stuff you put in I wish I can get one I just don't have money for it I'm joining a medical program and it be great to have one. It time to try saving up but I have medical class to Pay for
I love Maxpedtion gear, and these reviews. But for anyone watching this video thinking these bags can withstand rain it's just not true. I had the Noatak Gerslinger on my front in Borneo, everything including my phone was ruined in a rainstorm. I had my Falcon 2 in the Lake District earlier this year, again everything inside soaked. I understand these are extreme conditions, but just a word of warning these bags do not stand up to any heavy rain. Waterproof everything inside unless you want it ruined.
I tried it out with my Pocket Organizers, they are not waterproof. They can stand some rain but not much. If the bag is underwater for just a second everthing is wet, thanks to the zippers.
So they're going to save on material costs by lighter, cheaper polymer sheets instead of the true webbing and charge as much as the heavier, sturdier canvas units?
This was my thought as well. Sell it as an "upgrade", keep the same price, but replace half the 1000D material with something cheaper and less rugged. Shame.
Do y’all own any maxpedition products ? I own 8 of them, couple of them for many years, they are the absolute best packs and pouches out there, hands down
I love it. I have to hump this gear and the heavy weights on their 1000D's was the biggest complaint over the years. Their new gear is a response to users complaints about weight. 1000D everywhere is overkill unless you are dragging it behind your car or something.
I been testing and went through many phannie packs and other bags. I am longboarder and like to go downhill. I don't like to carry my back pack so I been testing out EDC ouches. My biggest concern is road rash. I go down hill fast and fall often. A lot of my pants and a lot of my bags rip through when I fall and on the concrete or asphalt. Do you have any recommendation where I can attach a pouch to my waist( keeping my center of gravity during high speed) also " road rash" resistant. I keep tearing through all my gear every time i fall and slide down the ride. Even leather won't hold long enough for me.
You can get those key ring bottle openers at lots of gas stations for a dollar. I have a blue one on my key chain along with a little waterproof stash tube which is just the right size for a couple days worth of meds plus some extra ( because if I somehow misplace the whole bottles, doctors these days, because of the fake "opioid crisis", aren't trying to hear that you need a way early, emergency refill on schedule 2 opioids and schedule 4 benzos and I'd be in a world of hurt without my meds ). But yeah, tons of gas stations have those bottle openers in any color you want, usually for a dollar and usually right at the register
Nice video. Just wondering though.. the e3 uses AAA, the s2 baton uses AA and you have a CR123 in the front pouch. Is it not better to have one type of battery for everything?
I guess the CR123A spare battery is for your Olight S1 which you carry in your pocket? Because non of those flashlights you have shown us in the video eat CR123A batteries.
+IDOALL To be honest, that works well too for viewers. Either waste time making videos about bad products and put those bad products in your viewers minds, or just make videos about good products and your viewers will only know of good products.
Off topic but, in your experience, what size battery lasts longer in a tactical flashlight -- using 1 of the 18650 size batteries or 2 of the CR123a batteries? Thanks.
The 2 CR123's should last longer. They have a 10 year shelf life. I prefer the 18650's because they are rechargeable but keep CR123's for back ups. Thanks
Thanks. As info, I have recharable CR123's and 18650's. I bought them at 'all-battery.com', along with the appropriate chargers. All of my tactical flashlights use those type batteries.
Here's a challenge if you're up for it. Can you do a video on a bug-out bag that's under 20lbs including medkits, food source, clean water source (filter, purification tablets, etc), survival gear, a gun and ammunition, and a good survival knife?
Nice review but I am a firm believer that they "Maxpedition" have completely stuffed their product line with the crap rubber on the outside i prefer the 1000D
Thanks Jamie, That's hard to say. I've been a Glock guy for years but before that, 1911's. Now, there are so many good choices I just enjoy shooting as long as it's reliable and accurate.
When I fist saw the new stuff from maxpedition, I was like "nope, hate it". I am slowly warming to it now. But it looks like they are only doing a couple of colours now, no OD Green, no Foliage, just black, wolf grey, and Khaki I think. That really sucks, bring back the Camo they once did, it was awesome.
The ubiquitous cascading slow motion water shot. Classic!
My wife and I enjoy watching your videos together and this one was no exception. Great review as always. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thanks Bert!
Sootch , the only guy I know that can make a 15 minute video about a pouch and make it interesting the whole length of the video lol
I've watched several of your gear and pack videos, a lot of them actually. As soon as I got off the other night I went home and started working on another pack/bug-out bag! When it comes to safety and necessities, I now believe in being prepared for whatever may come my way. Thanks!! I'm working on a day pack for my dad currently lol hey, small movements make big waves!
I have been using maxpedition gear for years now and never had it fail me yet, good review.
I just LOVE watching your videos! Because of you, I purchased a Maxpedition Beefy Organizer-I LOVE IT!
Saving my Pennies & hope to get a Gyrfalcon Pack before Winter sets in. Using a Walmart Fieldline at present-It is better than nothing. It lives in my vehicle and is provisioned for myself for EIGHT days.
Keep 'em coming, Sootch. You have helped me tremendously!
Good video on a great product. You crack me up! Love your videos.
Thumbs up to the guy who has more pouches than a herd of kangaroos!
Looool, good one the scotch man has many accessories, most of them behind the couch. Paaauwtsj...
Just bought one! Really good quality. It's my new EDC pouch for when I work the ambulance.
I've always been a fan of 5.11 Tactical, thank you for turning me onto Maxpedition.
An excellent review, as always, with lots of detailed explanations and demonstrations in real time. I shall have to go check out this awesome pouch! Thanks a lot man.
I like the way you have been doing the beginning of your video's. A quick look at what your video is about. Good selection of music that goes with the video. As always your video's are very detailed. Great job!
Thanks Suzie : )
Nice job Sootch, I have boughten a lot of their gear (Maxpedition) cause of your reviews. It's the best stuff for my purposes! Thanks, cause I wasn't aware of them before your reviews.
As always great review. Yet another product you reviewed I will buy. Olight s2a purchased earlier today
The Olight S2A is a nice design. Thanks Brother!
Nice review Sootch. The DEP looks like pretty good quality pouch for sure and I like the new design and color. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up.
The quality looks very good.Even better than before.
Smart of Maxpedition to update the look of their products. The classic look is classic, but isn't for everyone. The new bag styles are much more modern and will appeal to a wider audience. Smart decision.
The olight looks stunning, and I love that Maxpedition DEP
looks like the perfect little pack. good for traveling too
Another great review. Sootch, your sign off means even more to me with current events here and abroad. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks Brother!
Great review! Always a pleasure watching. If you can get your hands on one of the mrz pouches I'd love to see a review of it. Thinking about buying one but would really like your input on it before doing so. Thanks again. Team Sootch!
Very futuristic looking.
Sootch you need to mention every once in a while the different channels you got I think a lot of people are missing out on your videos, keep up the great content!
I have a list of recommended channels but you can also look in my subscriptions for good stuff Thanks
Lovin the bgm man nice innovation on the channel!
Nice pack man. For your flashlight I would recommend the Thrunite TC10V2. It has a high setting of 900 lumens and the low setting burns for 88 days one one charge. It takes 1 18650 battery and it has a USB port to recharge the light. In a bug out situation you could use a solar panel to recharge. Nice vid stooch thanks man. You always have awesome vids with stuff I've never seen. Peace
Great video Sootch! Can't wait to see that Olight review.
Nice review. I don't see anything in the new stuff the size of my Beefy organizer and I have that packed to the hilt. Keep in my truck as EDC bag that is easily taken from vehicle to vehicle.
Thanks for the info on the new product!
Looks really nice but what i am waiting for is to see if they update there m4 waistpack or there other canteen cover, would probably buy it in a heart beat! great review as always!
Great product, congratulations for the video
looking forward to the review of the charger and the olight.
I was sold as soon as I saw the thumbnail.
NIce Review Sootch, that's an Awesome Pack!!!
Would prefer the 'legacy" nylon PALs webbing as opposed to the rubber/composition. Particularly on the sides to hold a quick grab item like a pen or penlight or to attach a small pouch for a knife, multi tool or torch..
Really nice pouch!! I'm glad they did away with the cheap logo patch sewn on their previous items.
Another great well thought out executed review! Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Mr. Tang should put you on the payroll or at least give you a commission.
Always enjoy your videos.
Nice video man I really love your videos
Keep up the great work !
New to your channel awesome review of Edc pouch!!! Will purchase one!!!
Great review Sir! Thanks and Carry On!
Maxpedition's gear is on the more expensive side, but it's extremely high quality. In this day and age, you really do get what you pay for.
That's cool very convenient does anyone know about any pouches like that that can be fully submergible without the contents getting drenched
Thanks sootch! Do you like banquets as well they seem to have some really great stuff.
Good to see Sootch liking the progressive/house music!
Another great video. Have you tried the Milwaukee inkzall pen the thing writes on anything wet and dry
Looks great thank you for the video.
Looks great, and that seems a pretty good price for what you are getting.
Great review. Thank you
great job sootch!!!!!!!
Always a great video! Cheers!
Great review! Looks like a baby backpack!
I wonder if the clips on the back of the bag would eventually get in the way as you carried this pouch throughout the day. I never attach these pouches to bags. Taking from the truck, into my office and then home... it seems like they would get in the way. Hmmm, this is holding me back from a purchase.
I use a cheapy version of these packs when I am on a UTV or piece of equipment away from my truck. I often need to carry my phone, note pad, pen, my Garmin gps and a few other things. This would be perfect.

Looks like you can put an over the shoulder strap on it. It has the looks of a very cute murse.
I love all the stuff you put in I wish I can get one I just don't have money for it I'm joining a medical program and it be great to have one. It time to try saving up but I have medical class to Pay for
Another great review. Thanks
great video. gotta love maxpidition.
I love Maxpedtion gear, and these reviews. But for anyone watching this video thinking these bags can withstand rain it's just not true. I had the Noatak Gerslinger on my front in Borneo, everything including my phone was ruined in a rainstorm. I had my Falcon 2 in the Lake District earlier this year, again everything inside soaked. I understand these are extreme conditions, but just a word of warning these bags do not stand up to any heavy rain. Waterproof everything inside unless you want it ruined.
thanks for the tip. have a falcon 2
I found that out with my colossus versipack it's always the zippers that are the weakness but a good pack cover helps.
Yeah, I would expect this. It's obviously not waterproof, just resistant. Great stuff when used right, tho.
I tried it out with my Pocket Organizers, they are not waterproof. They can stand some rain but not much. If the bag is underwater for just a second everthing is wet, thanks to the zippers.
Can verify. 5 mins in heavy rain and you can feel moisture from the inside. Good pouch, just not water resistant enough for peace of mind.
I prefer more denier to the hexagons. So basically they've reduced the quality of the material with their new line. I'll stick to the classic.
Love your videos, bud!
Great job on the review.
in the vid i see the bag attached to your belt horizontally...but the tac ties are vertical...how do you attach it that way...
yes sir so do I and how much does it cost
I have just found that the Glock 48 fits in the large compartment almost perfectly
Another great review- thanks
Any chance you can review he maxpedition ironcloud?
Nice setup
So they're going to save on material costs by lighter, cheaper polymer sheets instead of the true webbing and charge as much as the heavier, sturdier canvas units?
This was my thought as well. Sell it as an "upgrade", keep the same price, but replace half the 1000D material with something cheaper and less rugged. Shame.
it looks like cheap shit

But yeah, tons of gas stations have those bottle openers in any color you want, usually for a dollar and usually right at the register
I think I've settled on a smaller end EDC pouch, and then I come across this! Dammit!
can you do a review of the numeth lighters? thanks
How do carry this as an edc? Do you just put it in a backpack or just leave it in the car until you need it?
Nice video.
Just wondering though.. the e3 uses AAA, the s2 baton uses AA and you have a CR123 in the front pouch. Is it not better to have one type of battery for everything?
I guess the CR123A spare battery is for your Olight S1 which you carry in your pocket? Because non of those flashlights you have shown us in the video eat CR123A batteries.
I carry an Olight S1 Baton that uses 1 CR123. Good eye.
Great looking little pack, great review as always. I swear, just ONE time I want to see a video of yours where you give something a "Thumbs Way Down".
I think I've heard him say, "I only review things I like."
+IDOALL To be honest, that works well too for viewers. Either waste time making videos about bad products and put those bad products in your viewers minds, or just make videos about good products and your viewers will only know of good products.
@@Kilonoid But its really hard to know which are bad products if nobody reviews them.
I like this pack but before I even go search it....how much is it?
Will a Bersa Thunder 380 fit in the main compartment?
Anyone know of a small pouch that could be fitted to the sheath of a 7 inch blade knife?
Off topic but, in your experience, what size battery lasts longer in a tactical flashlight -- using 1 of the 18650 size batteries or 2 of the CR123a batteries? Thanks.

do you have a link to that amp3 med kit? not finding it on amazon. Good alternative?
for note 5 it we work?

+SensiblePrepper Awesome, can't wait to see what all you put in it
good review
Nice review but I am a firm believer that they "Maxpedition" have completely stuffed their product line with the crap rubber on the outside i prefer the 1000D
hey sootch00 what is your favorite firearm? and also your channels are the best on youtube
Thanks Jamie, That's hard to say. I've been a Glock guy for years but before that, 1911's. Now, there are so many good choices I just enjoy shooting as long as it's reliable and accurate.
+SensiblePrepper You should make a top 5 or top 10 of your favorites, for any reason you like.
For sure this is cost reduction action to increase margins.
what brand of lighter was that?
It's a Nymyth Lighter designed by the owner of Going Gear. They are available on the website.
ei...brother don.....wolfspur review please............thanks
Great video man. Do you recommend it over the maxpedition beffy pouch
Thanks! I haven't tried the Beefy pouch.
Do the gila gearslinger
Reminds me of a mini backpack
I thought so too looks like a babies pack.
I have a baby... maybe I'll get one of these and strap it on him :) Tactical Go-Baby
You are such a inspiration hope someday I can meet you thank you for all you do for us don god bless and be of good courage
Can you get it at Walmart?
When I fist saw the new stuff from maxpedition, I was like "nope, hate it". I am slowly warming to it now. But it looks like they are only doing a couple of colours now, no OD Green, no Foliage, just black, wolf grey, and Khaki I think. That really sucks, bring back the Camo they once did, it was awesome.
how long do you keep gear before you replace

Two is one and one is none!
Fantastic video dude! Gotta get one of those! :DDDDDD
Sootch, great review as always, and I just sent you a message with info for you to consider.
