Went the 511 store and examined thr Moab 8 and Moab 10. Th 10 is so large if I packed it full, it woukd be too much for a sling bag. Might as well just carry a backpack and spread the weight over both shoulders. I chose the 8. Deep CCW pocket that holds my full size 1911. Large enough to carry 2 or 3 books, cigar accoutrement box, water bottles, note pad and pens, eye glass cleaners, asthma rescue inhaler, etc. The 8 just slings on a shoukder very easily.
The designs of the Moab 8 and 10 are so close to being substitutes for the discontinued Maxpedition Gila and Pecos, its really frustrating for me. If only they made models with all the compartments being empty and lined with velcro. I'd pay extra for that and for them to redesign the zipper cover to be able to be secured away from the zipper path with maybe velcro or bungee cord. And last remove the media pouch on the Moab 10 sling. Thanks for the detailed review, I had spent a good time looking at the Moab 8 in person and was curious about the 10 and your video was really insightful, especially the molle sticks bit. I will be getting a few of those for myself.
Thanks for giving the molle bags some love/attention. I typically but black color to hide the tactical… or add some small “color” details (friendly patch, colorful carabiner, changing zipper pulls, water bottle). Get bags
I Do have a few black ones as well but usually I am not too concerned. Depends were you live and the cultural background as well...however if I feel the tactical character would be too much, I just switch to another bag...mostly though I don't have to. But I like the idea of adding friendlies.....
Nice review. I love this bag so much I bought 2. I have one set up as a get home bag. I like that I can attach my EDC to it. The other I use for various different day hikes and short camping trips. Very nice bag, very versatile.
Man! Thanks for the idea of keeping a Dry Bag in there! I will definitely be getting 1 for mine! And you’re correct about that Conceal carry pocket! I have a tendency to over pack mine so it is harder to get the Firearm out but I always have a Firearm on my body anyway so the 1 in that pocket is just a back up!
Your Moab will have come with a small bundle of webbing and buckles. It is called the Rush Tier system. THis would usually allow you to attach the Moab to another bag. You can use these Straps to build a support strap by hooking one of the female buckles to the Shoulder straps webbing & the other side to the pals webbing on the side of the bag. Have a play, if you get stuck, let me know and I can post a short how to video...... cheers
I agree, but that is just not a thing in New Zealand, where I live. If I was living in the US, my perspective would be different and I would not carry it unless I wanted to advertise it.......
Yo lo uso como bolso de pesca para señuelos. En Argentina existe una especie llamada Tararira. Es un pez que demanda caminatas largas e ir probando distintos señuelos en los campos. Y actualmente no hay ningún bolso que cumpla con las funciones que este lo hace. Hay un modelo de rapala sling bag pero resulta muy chico y no se pueden llevar pinzas, etc etc. Al bolso 5.11 le entran 2 bandejas 3700 de señuelos , 1 bandeja 3600 , bolsa de hidratación, pinzas y muchas cosas más... (no lo uso para llevar arma )

I agree with all of that. If you want Velcro lined, go Vanquest or Vertx. A bit more money. But worth it.

Tactical is not a product its mind set
You should try the LV10.
On the list, but I think the 5.11 UCR 14l is exactly what I like....
“Stabilizer -strap” is the name usually used for that 3rd strap option, fwiw & IIRC
We get it… 3 mins talking about molle!!
Yeah, got a bit carried away. There are shorter and better videos out there for sure!

Yes, it is a great bag, not sure I would buy 2 though,😉
@@corvinousedc I bought the 2nd one because I wanted a new bushcraft bag. So far it's working out great.
Hey man great review of the pack. You've got some nice accompanying gear like the Maxpedition and Sealskinz stuff that I will definitely check into.
Thx, Sealskinz are great. Indeed.

Yip I think the only ones that get the access to concealed carry right are the guys from Vertex.
I prefer the 6 for edc, the 10 is overkill, but a great bag for other purposes for sure.
Never tried the 6, but if you have a smaller load out it is a good choice!
Thanks for the review, what brand are the 2 'carabiners' (?) attached to the front of the bag?
Those are really cheap "viper" MOLLE hooks. If you Google viper backpacks.
Please, how to put support strap on Moab 10?

Can the sling come off or be tucked in?
No, the sling can't be tucked away....
Perfect just wish it wasn’t a sling bag
Well, 5.11's Rush12 is only a little bigger but otherwise identical.....
I know there's a video on how to convert this to a rucksack !
The organizers tho 🔥
Yeah, they are one of a kind.....❤
Nice but to long
Yip, it is long, there are plenty of short ones out there though...., 😉
walking in to any place with that pack is screaming "look, I am carrying a gun".

@@corvinousedcyes like when I go camping
" walking in to any place with that pack is screaming "look, I am carrying a gun". "
You should avoid carrying off body (in a pack).
Yep, but walking into any place with a regular backpack is screaming, "Look, I am a shop lifter!"
