Nice to see a review with the bag actually setup for use. I know it took some effort to load it all up for us, just to unload it on camera, so thanks and great job!
great review thank you for showing the angles while wearing the pack it really helps people see the true size of the product
Thank you for taking the time out to make these awesome videos! clear and extremely informative!
I finally have one on order so I dropped back by to re-watch. Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the kind comments and enjoy your pack...
Man! Thanks so much for modeling that bag. I see a lot of reviews on table tops, but it is important to see someone wear it and see how it rides. You getter a better idea of scale too. I appreciate the vid. This gear slinger is too large for EDC. I'll go with a Sitka. And a Vulture 2 for bushwhacking. Thanks again. Thumbs up. ~Wolf
Great video. I just got one in foliage grn and thanks to your video, I now know what most of this stuff is for ie the whistle. This bag is too cool and this is a great review!
Another fantastic review! I have a jumbo versi-pack, condor 2, spartan wallet and a 10x4 nalgene holder. All khaki. Excellent quality gear. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for the review.
Yes, I think so..It was loaded heavy and you made a good observation on the pack. I could still manage the pack and it really performed well for a single strap. I guess its really comes down to personal preference...Thanks
Thanks...The Falcon II is a excellent choice and my laptop fits great in mine..This pack has so many compartments its really a great all purpose pack..you won't regret it....Take care!!
-- Great job! I'm considerig one as my next Maxpedition purchase.
The other gearslingers I have viewed were/are too small. The Kodiak is the ticket. Thanks for posting.
Thanks....I got them both and I guess it would depend on what you are going to do...Hike , Camping or EDC. I really like the Sitka for a scout pack and the Kodiak is good for overnight. Then if I want couple of days the Condor is the one I take out.....Hope that helps somewhat...
Wolf ....Thanks for the heads up on this topic...Take care...
Good video man (helped my purchase decision), thanks for the upload.
Thanks...All great items and mine is Khaki also just thought I would try the OD green. I have always been willing to pay for quality and I have always been happy with it..Take care..
OregonBackpacker I agree...I'm more of a two strap guy myself...but it still work great...
I just got it. It is a cool pack. I think that a quilt or tarp would fit into the larger rollypoly. I wonder if it would balance properly if it were clipped to the front of the pack. Might be a nice way to add some space when needed.
great review
For a BOB I would go with the Falcon or the Condor..I really like the Kodiak but my go to pack would be one of the two mentioned above...Thanks for watching...
mikenc1515 ..Thanks so much and because of people like you it's all worth while...Take care!!!!
@thenetwerx in the video he said he was carrying a hydration bladder in the compartment closest to the shoulder strap. remember the bladder tubing was routed down the should strap with the bite valve under the pals webbing.
Thanks Bryan, I know I really like mine......Take care....
Lex I have two different gearslinger packs and it has never been a problem for me. Its really tuff to say if this would be a comfort problem for your or not...Based on what I have experienced its not an issue with the distance for me...Hope this helps and Thanks for watching......
Neomik2410 ...Your very welcome and always great to hear from Greece....
Hey thanks....I did change songs on a couple on VID's and I'll keep that in mind for the next ones.
I had it fully loaded but just for about 3 hours..Shoulder strap is padded really well. That's all the time so far I have on this pack. The reason I chose this over the sitka is the size and the outside pocket for my stove...Hope this helps....
Thanks so much....The name of the book is Pocket Ref by Thomas J Glover...Habor freight has these as well if you have one in your area...
Great Video. Thank you..!!!
Shaynooooo the sabercat would fit under if you choose to do so...good luck and thanks for watching..
ilavatelli....Thanks for the comments and for watching....Take care
Great review, After watching this I ordered this gearslinger, And have been using it for a couple of weeks and im loving it, Used it for a 2 day camp in the bush and have been using it for work too carry my chef whites in. One question i have for anyone that views this comment, does anyone now were i can buy one of those reusable space blankets(like used in this video) in the UK. Again thanks very much fir the review.
Hey Thanks so much... you'll like it....Take care..
Nice look at the Kodiak from all sides CJ. Was wondering how diff. it was from the Sitka. Looks spacious.
Thank you!
I think you'll really like it...Thanks for watching
Neomik2410 ....Thanks for the comment and the Kodiak could ride a little higher if you wanted to adjust that way. I had about twenty lbs. in the pack and I wouldn't want any more than that on a one strap pack. I 5'8 and 177 so we are close in build so that should give you an idea if the pack is a fit for you. Hope this helps some. Take care...
Hey Thanks so much....
Question 1..it would depend on the load.. I picked up my pack once I read this and I had about half the load as you see in the VID. It felt very comfortable to sling it that way if I understood you right. I think if I have the load as shown in the VID I think it would get old quick. Question 2..Proteus would attach but not the Sabercat. The Proteus would be secure on the PAL webbing if attached right ..Hope this helps...
I changed my mind. I ordered mine yesterday for an EDC bag.
oesterle63 ....Your very welcome and thanks for watching
Thanks !!!!!!
After viewing your VID it was a tuff decision but I had to opt for more space...Thanks for watching!!!
Jon89maccom ...Condor II would be my pick just because of the two straps..Really depends on what you will be using the pack for, I have a few gearslingers and I really like them and I still use one for an EDC. For more extended use on the trail I want two straps on my pack. Hope this helps and thanks for watching...
calld2serve if it were 3-5 I would choose the Vulture II which I do not own yet. If I had to use what I currently own it would be the Condor II ....I think I could get 3 days anyway..Thanks!!!
good review (as are all of your others). I'd like to pick your brains if I can. I'm going to order a fliegerduffel with 2 6x6 pouches for long haul flights but I am also after a backpack, mainly for daily use (want to carry a laptop) but would also like to use it for overnight camping, walking. I'm thinking falcon 2 with 2 rolly-polys on side but wondered what you would suggest !
paco40ful I think in your case I would go the two strap backpack ..Maybe the condor II pack...
Thanks for watching....
GoldenColts your very welcome....
kvn1201 ...Thanks so much glad it worked out well for you...It's a great pack
Great video! I am recovering from major surgery and once I am cleared I want to go back to regain my focus. I am new to these civilian packs and was accustomed to a 65 lb ruc. I like the Kodiak but do you suggest the Sitka? I am 5'7.5" 190lbs. Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
hey thanks alot!
I had this one packed with about 22 lbs and after about 4hrs. you knew that you had it on....Thanks for watching...
I would love to have a nice pack like this one. Currently I have a medium allice pack. I like the versatility of the frame on the Alice but I like the organization of the max packs. I need to add that I am a large fellow. 6'3" and 300 lbs so small packs can be uncomfortable. Do you have a recommendation for me.
jmmagyar ...Thanks so much....The Falcon II would be my choice .....
qHighFlyerp ...It is a big pack and the Sitka is a great just right size ...Thanks for watching.....
I can't really decide between the sitka and the kodiak. I'm gonna use for work/EDC, but also for hiking/travelling, so I don't wanna to buy something that's too big/small!
Also, I carry on the right should I buy the S type?
@msjcl1 ...Not a quilt but maybe a small poly blanket in or at the bottom of this pack...
Great video! Now I'm just wondering if I should go with this pack or the maxpedition malaga?? Any suggestions? I also have 2 kids and one on the was as well, I would use these bags as an edc for our stuff. Any suggestions on which to choose??
Go with the pack...Good luck !!
sablebush...I really think the Kodiak would be a bit much...Have you looked a the Lunada? I found this to be a really good size for an EDC..I have a review on my channel on this gear slinger and I think you might find this just right ...Hope this helps!!!!
I carry a lot of weight. Sometimes on horseback other times hiking. Is the versapack comfortable enough to carry all day meaning does it kill your shoulders since their is no waist belt. I considering this pack or one of their actual backpacks.
Thanks, for the help
What about shooting for right-handed person? Is it comfortable?
neat! Thank you. :)
georgio941 I think that would be a little to much for the main compartment, maybe lose a shirt or two...Thanks for watching...
I carry a lot of weight usually on horseback but sometimes hiking. I was wondering how comfortable it is carrying all day hiking. Does it kills shoulders since it doesn't have waist belt?
I was considering this or their acutal backpack
Thanks
Would this be too big for an EDC for a woman? I have a jumbo and that is not big enough for all of the "stuff" that I have. I tried a mondo.. but that seemed really big, but I like the look of the gear slingers. What do you think?
hello, just wondering if you've had much experience carrying it fully loaded for an extended time? just wondering how it is on the shoulder! otherwise i think i want this or the sitka..thanks!
@AndreaTiby ....You'll like the Sitka better and the S type...Thanks for watching...
Hi i am debating if i should get kodiak or sitka for air travel. I need a bag fits under the seat. Any suggestion? Thanks.
Sitka is smaller by a long shot (more of an EDC bag). Kodiak (more of an overnight bag) is a lot roomier. Now, it depends on what you want to carry. I carry a 13 inch macbook air and typical EDC shit like a basic FAK, toiletries, flashlights, knives, tools, tech-based stuff like hardrives, spare batteries. Personally, I use a mega rolly poly on the outer molle strap for quick storage stuff (groceries, laundry, anything extra that doesn't fit the Sitka when I have my laptop) b/c the interiors are too tight when I have the laptop and everything in the bag. Using a mega roly on the outside has worked for me b/c I like how compact the Sitka is. I also have the Kodiak, which can be more of an overnighter (24hr-48hr bag?). You won't need a roly poly with it, but with the same exact contents I put in my Sitka, it's heavier just b/c of the bigger size alone. Sitka is grab and go bag. Kodiak is car to office, office to car type bag. Both will fit under airline seat though. If I had to do it all over again, I would get the Falcon II. In my opinion, the 1 strap gear sling style doesn't work well with the size of the Kodiak. If the Kodiak had 2 straps, a sternum and a waist belt, it'd be better. Ultimately, it depends on what your intended use is. EDC or EDC Plus (EDC with a decent amount of room to spare).
Two questions though. Firstly, have you tried slinging the Kodiak on the shoulder by the side? How comfortable is it? Just curious.
Secondly, is it possible to attach the Proteus or Sabercat to the front of the Kodiak? Would it hold securely or would it flop around?
I'm thinking of attachment options that may be compatible with other Maxpedition products.
CJ, do you think a good amount of weight in this pack would cause it to sit lower than a normal dual-strap backpack? Just my assumption, but I thought it looked to sit low when you showed the view of your back. Thanks
Is there a spot for a quilt ? It gets cold at night in a hammock :)
I know you were carrying your Jetboil in the water bottle pocket and you had some Mountain House food with you. But where was your water? How were you carrying that?
It could be done but I would rather use my Condor II for that...The Kodiak would be pushing it a bit...
HighSpeedNoDrag ....Your very welcome
Sure....I'm 5'8" 178 lbs. Hope that helps....
AppalachianFreedom ...Thanks so much
