1. That chicken distracted me too 2. Love seeing Mike back doing what he is so good at 3. Its great when a pro agrees with one of your decisions. Never liked prepacked first aid kits. Stuff expires at different times, plus its cheaper to buy exactly what you need. 화이팅
Being down in the deep southwest, my typical attire is a t-shirt and athletic shorts for about 359 days out of the year. Because of this, I primarily carry in a fanny pack. Been carrying like this for years and I think it's a largely under appreciated method of carrying. Glad to see some attention.
@@yangtroy1 Fact. I think people look at me weird, but I don't leave my house without carrying. I've seen too many videos of people being rode up on when they're just out getting their mail.
Awesome kit. a very informative channel. i usually carry around a backpack but have been looking into carrying a fanny pack for about 350 days out of the year.
Love my fanny pack. As someone who wears tucked in button up shirts, the fanny pack allows to carry a ton of stuff on my person without overwhelming my pockets. I use the Eberlestock Bando Bag XL version.
I love my fannypack, i started using since i move to Florida, was too hot and uncomfortable to carry ISW. Small med kit, bandaids for the kids, g17, tourniquet, snacks.
I use the larger vertx fanny pack. I have been carrying in that for the last few years and I love it, especially in the warmer months when im just wearing shorts and a tshirt because then im not worried about printing. I keep a full trauma kit loose in mine just like you keep yours loose. By doing that, it keeps the overall girth of the bag down as well and it doesnt look like your carrying around a cinder block. For my sig 365 xmacro I have a hook and loop kydex holster from eclipse holsters which is absolutely amazing. So cool a company made a kydex holster for fanny pack carry.
I run a very similar setup. I like the layout of your pack, might need to pick one up. My pack is a little smaller though (lol). I pretty much have everything you mentioned but I also keep a couple of extra things such as: - Permanent marker (tq etc.) - BIC wrapped in duct tape for fires, and all the other things it can do. - Small coin purse with meds like ibuprofen, personal prescription meds, bandaids, chapstick, nail clippers, lens cloth, water purification tablets, and a small amount of cash. - Bandana, which I’ve used more than once in emergencies. It’s also good for water filtration, fire starting and more. - A spare mag, ya know, because. - Powerbank with cables for androids and iPhones. - A few small zip ties. It sounds like a lot, but most things come in single use packages. Believe it or not, I’ve used almost everything that’s mentioned at least once. If you can be creative and organized, it will fit a lot better than you might imagine. Hopefully this gives some people ideas on what to put in theirs. Stay frosty everyone, things might get a little weird over the next year or 10. Also pray, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I guess my only beef with fanny packs is that it tells everybody in the know that you’re carrying a gun. I see an outdoorsy looking bag on a man and I immediately know it’s a gun. The general public thinks lame dad of course and that’s the only population that would be concerned by me carrying a gun. Also, similar to how my hips hurt after I’ve had my duty belt on for a while, the fanny pack makes my hips hurt after a while. I don’t notice as much hip pain when I carry IWB and I guess that’s because it’s held closer to the body. All that being said, I think fanny packs are a solid option and it lets you carry more gear which I’m always down for.
@Johnny_Cash_Flow so what is I figured I’d help out with the algorithm and put a little discussion on the topic of fanny pack carry since that’s what the video was about?
In Texas it is an assumption that if you have a pouch you’re carrying. But it is still an assumption. You’re never certain unless you ask.. and most people won’t ask lol
Eberlestock Bando XL is my carry pack. I like it a lot and the zippers open super quick. I attached a trigger guard with lanyard for safety. With the right length on the lanyard the pistol is well out of the pack before the guard pops off. It's not tactical looking at all which I like. Great video Mike. I need to check that one out. It looks like it has more storage space.
I still carry on the same Patagonia fly sling bag I saw you use 7 or 8 years ago. If its not on me its on that bag! Glad to see you back on the saddle! I appreciate all your content.
The reason I wear cargo pants and shorts.and my edc is always in a hokster...glad to see you back doing well Mike thanks for the great work and info we missed seeing you
I have used fanny packs but lately lean towards sling bags. I have a micro chest pouch for when I walk dogs in my rural area. Stays out of the way and I can get to it with either hand.
Great pack. I'm thinking about that lighter in the front pocket. What's the last time you had to make a fire using it? I would rather keep it in the 3rd pocket as it's not "time sensitive" item and, if you don't smoke. you almost never use it.
I've been carrying Chitoguaze instead of quick clot. Chitoguaze does not create heat and if packing a wound you don't cause more pain with the burning of the coagulant. The Chitoguaze also can been seen under xray imaging in the trauma room. It's best to also not use quick clot granules because it will be extra work for the trauma team to clean out the wound before treating it. Chitoguaze as it comes in a compressed package you can can fold all the edges and fits perfectly in my fanny pack. And its just personal preference for me but I prefer the bright orange tourniquets. Simply because responding units and once arriving at the hospital to me, it signals that there is a large wound bleed stop that has been temporarily stopped. If they see a secondary tourniquet they know it's bad. great video. thank you.
Not to take away from your fannypack, but Volcom has an excellent pack with a rear pocket that can fit a p365xl with a comp and red dot in a holster, as well as about 3lbs worth of other things in the main and front pocket. A really good "grey man" pack
I keep my lighter in an empty pill bottle so I can keep it dry if my fanny pack is to get wet. I also keep some form of chest seal on my person as well. My pouch in back has orange para cord so I know which one I am grabbing. But I wear a larger shirt to cover mine so it’s concealed.
Rocking the Eberlestock xl bando bag for about 2 months now Highly recommend this bag Love it Only issue I have is where do I put my additional two mags? I rigged some additional Velcro across from the Cc but adds width to the bag and takes away room from the front two chambers for EDC I always carry two xtra mags What do you all do in these situations?✌️🇺🇸
Appreciate ya Mike, Glad to see ya back and I know FC will grow and be better than ever. I have my FC Fanny and it’s one of my fav carry methods. Stay strong and look forward to more content.
One thing I would add, which is just my personal preference is a backup/throwaway knife (or a g10 knife). Something you won’t care about if it breaks, or have to throw it away if you “used” it or can’t take it with you into a certain area. Only other thing I’d put in is a handcuff key and maybe like 6ft of paracord to use as makeshift restraints or whatever else floats your boat. I made a little makeshift handcuff key paracord holder that I wrap around the backside of my belt (in between my belt and body) so if you ever get restrained in cuffs you’d be able to access if needed.
On all my lights in packs,Etc.I uses an arch punch and cut our circles that drop in on top of the battery and it won't make contact. Works great NO battery run down. Gman
By far the most used item in my kit (minus wallet/keys) would be little cartoon character band-aids. No blood or blood, doesn’t matter, fixes almost anything :)
Mike, I'd love to see Fieldcraft do a series on clothing/layering systems for different environments, with currently available gear/brands. Think that's something that might be possible?
The bexar is pronounced bear. Bexar goods is a company in San Antonio and the bexar is for bexar county. Great leather products and great people who run it! That being said I also make leather goods, Mike if you ever want to do another wallet run let me know!
I’m retired LEO. In the 80’s many of us carried off duty with fanny packs. They were a great way to conceal a firearm. But as time went on, they seemed to fall out of favor. Not stylish I suppose. Anyway, I’m glad to see they are being used again. I’m g on my to get one. Thanks for the video
Love it. It would be cool if it came with an elastic and velcro mag retention piece, similar to the piece that holds the "tool" in place. Thank you for all you do.🙏🇺🇸🤘
Back in the 90s when pretty much only people with Fanny packs were off duty cops, the only two time times I got “made” carrying anything was when I used a fanny pack. Now that I’m older, I’ve been revisiting the usefulness of said packs as where else can you carry an IFAK, shears, various other items. I still prefer my EDC, folder, and phone, as well as ID and keys to be on ME.
Vertx socp fanny pack, premier body armor insert, sig 365xl, booboo kit, flashlight, multitool, socp dagger. And i love it as a sling. I tied my buckle with 550 tho cuz the buckle was accessible to someone behind me.
If I am going to carry a multi tool and a bag, the multitool will be in the bag without a pouch or in its pouch on the strap of the bag. This second option is the first paving stone on the road to utility belt hell, but if a multitool takes up space and is used often it's sensible to have it easy to get to. It's just a thought.
I've been carrying a fanny pack for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it. I keep all of my stuff in one bag 24/7, so I never ever have to question where anything is. You can carry it on your waist, chest rig or murse it depending on where you are going and it's still very accessible. I also carry pepper spray just in case the firearm would be unjustified force, never know when your DA is going to have a woke bug up his ass.
One can use the pack as a wielding device (if the straps are strong enough) so as to cut down on the "paper work" when using a pew. Also add duck tape.
I picked up a fanny pack to facilitate carrying all the crap from my pockets. Now I've noticed that i never carry the pack into stores and whatnot, i just download what i need back into my pockets. The bag is usually near me or in my vehicle, so I'm considering a small backpack, which will allow me to carry more items such as clothing and food options
The only thing I am still dialing in is my knife /multitool/tool. Wallet, first aid, tq, flashlight, pistol, phone, etc… are all locked in. But I can’t seem to find the best multitool or pocket knife or fixed knife or knipex pliers or keybar with some screw drivers… right now I am running a Spyderco Yojimbo 2 with a keybar with a flat head and Philips head. Ran only Leatherman’s for years in this realm. But in the past year I’ve tried Swiss Army Knives, the MKC fieldcraft fixed blade, mini knipex pliers, many different Leatherman’s, and different combos of all.
I carry a molle issue waist pack on a GP sling or a old style m16 sling ,works fine 🙂 for me..I cut that waist belt off to reduce bulk..Vince g 11b Infantry.
" I'm not using the full words because the algorithms will detect it and we'll be further suppressed than we already are" 1min later: "Go ahead and tell me what you got in your fanny..." 🤣🤣🤣 If the algorithms are okay with that, you should be safe for a while still😅
OG Nutnfancy had the fanny pack from long ago with his loadouts. I will NEVER wear one lol. They are nice for carrying stuff but the look they give off no thank you. Id rather wear a rucksack lol.
Good set up, however I recommend putting some of the bandaids in your wallet to save time and space. Also a pair of trauma shears is much safer than the scary sharp knife. Another recommendation I have is an ankle med-kit. It makes organizing your medical gear much easier.
I’m new to CCW, does fieldcraft/ any other company Make a Fanny pack that has a Velcro- secured holster? I can’t tell in the video if his has retention or just sits inside the pouch.
I second you on the electrical tape. I had a deep slice on a finger once. I rinsed the cut with water put a paper towel over the cut and tightened it down with tape till I could get better help.
Cool pack but you need to have a “rapid access” tab in the upper corners of the back pouch so you can open the entire compartment with your off hand and draw with your shooting hand.
I keep my fanny pack light, gun & spare mags. I have big hands, and anything else in there adds to my draw time. I modified a kydex holster I didnt like AIWB, its installed in the pack bc I liked it better than the elastic band shit. Definitely my favorite way to carry now.
I also have in mine a whistle, batteries for surefire light (lx2), kimber pepper blaster, apple AirPods, small phone battery. This is besides first aid, weapon, fixed blade benchmade altitude
I have your fanny pack and use it more than anything else to CC. Was just wondering what your thoughts are on adding a holster into it, instead of the current strap attachment. Thanks
Haha, the casual chickens walking around in the background. Personally i would add a pair of nice scissors, it comes in clutch when you (or your family) need to cut seat belts, clothes, food even without flinging around a sharp knife in a high pressure situation. Not that the knife isn't really nice, just not for everyone, or places where "doesn't like knives".
Man, the best fanny pack I've found is the Bando Bag by Eberlestock! It's PERFECT for EDC and concealed carry. I just posted a review on it and went through my full loadout as well.
Bexar Goods makes some of the best leather products available... They are in San Antonio and the name comes from the name of our county "Bexar County". It's pronounced without the "x" though, just like the animal: "bear".
1. That chicken distracted me too

3. Its great when a pro agrees with one of your decisions. Never liked prepacked first aid kits. Stuff expires at different times, plus its cheaper to buy exactly what you need. 화이팅
Also those pre packed kits never have enough gauze. Especially roll gauze.
I say young man that's not just any chicken. That's a Foghorn Leghorn.
I've been rocking a Marlboro fanny pack from the 90s when they had Marlboro miles. I love it.
Holy shit brought back memories lol.
Marlboro Miles!!!!!!! man... just took me back to the mid 90's.

If your Fanny pack hurts your hip, it’s probably too damn heavy or too damn tight. Never heard of such a thing
I carry mine cross body which actually helps with the draw and is more comfortable, I think.
In Texas it is an assumption that if you have a pouch you’re carrying. But it is still an assumption. You’re never certain unless you ask.. and most people won’t ask lol
Eberlestock Bando XL is my carry pack. I like it a lot and the zippers open super quick. I attached a trigger guard with lanyard for safety.

Good set up, however I recommend putting some of the bandaids in your wallet to save time and space. Also a pair of trauma shears is much safer than the scary sharp knife. Another recommendation I have is an ankle med-kit. It makes organizing your medical gear much easier.
We practice using the chest seal as the tape to hold the bandage on as well if you don’t have a chest wound
What about feet/foot? Wear. I'm thinking about switching other to waterproof. How do you feel about that.
Good stuff Mike
gotta love the algorithm
It's all about having everything you need with empty pockets. Especially in the summer.
Best video in a while.
Rooster photo bomb was hilarious 😂
I’m new to CCW, does fieldcraft/ any other company Make a Fanny pack that has a Velcro- secured holster? I can’t tell in the video if his has retention or just sits inside the pouch.
I suggest wrapping some tape around that BIC lighter. I use both 1 inch strips of duct tape and electrical tape.
I second you on the electrical tape. I had a deep slice on a finger once. I rinsed the cut with water put a paper towel over the cut and tightened it down with tape till I could get better help.
2 of the best tapes. Both can also work as a fire starter. Really their uses are only limited by our minds.
Cool pack but you need to have a “rapid access” tab in the upper corners of the back pouch so you can open the entire compartment with your off hand and draw with your shooting hand.
You got me with the BOBO kit. Good Job !!
I keep my fanny pack light, gun & spare mags. I have big hands, and anything else in there adds to my draw time. I modified a kydex holster I didnt like AIWB, its installed in the pack bc I liked it better than the elastic band shit. Definitely my favorite way to carry now.
I also have in mine a whistle, batteries for surefire light (lx2), kimber pepper blaster, apple AirPods, small phone battery. This is besides first aid, weapon, fixed blade benchmade altitude
Eberlestock Fanny pack, wallet keys etc, streamlight wedge, folding knife, lighter, TQ, and the mousekitool in the purpose built very back space
I have your fanny pack and use it more than anything else to CC. Was just wondering what your thoughts are on adding a holster into it, instead of the current strap attachment. Thanks
Thanks Mike
Haha, the casual chickens walking around in the background.
Personally i would add a pair of nice scissors, it comes in clutch when you (or your family) need to cut seat belts, clothes, food even without flinging around a sharp knife in a high pressure situation. Not that the knife isn't really nice, just not for everyone, or places where "doesn't like knives".
Love my low viz fieldcraft fanny. Carry it everyday.
Thanks Mike, I learned I needed to add chest seals to my kit.
Much love brother Mike 💪🦅🇺🇲🍻
Thoughts on extra magazines?
Can’t find the 3 pocket fanny pack on the Fieldcraft site, is it not available yet? Thanks
Man, the best fanny pack I've found is the Bando Bag by Eberlestock! It's PERFECT for EDC and concealed carry. I just posted a review on it and went through my full loadout as well.
He used to have a video with a Patagonia Fly fishing bag and it was a great SBR carry
What holster is he using in the fanny pack? Most of the ones I see snag on my weapon light and sights.
I'm new to concealed carry so genuinely curious - a fanny pack seems like a dead giveaway for carrying. Does that defeat the purpose in any way?
Nice fanny pack. But I read your mind wondering when your sig glazer contract is up so you can go back to that glock 43x mos
Fanny Packs are awesome. The only thing I would add is the travel size pack of Water Wipes,
Now this is what the people needed
Where do you keep your fed honeypot lists?
Mike what company makes your camo anorak.
Agreed Mike I love the microstream but mine is not rechargeable
It's a problem but you do what you can. Maybe tape the edges for support if you can.
Bexar Goods makes some of the best leather products available... They are in San Antonio and the name comes from the name of our county "Bexar County".
It's pronounced without the "x" though, just like the animal: "bear".
US made?
I worked as fabric worker and its quite easy to stich these.
It seems that you've overlooked pointing out the (very important) REPLACEABLE wire cutter blades on the Leatherman Signal.
I also keep writing utensils in there. I got a space pen and a mini sharpie that fit real nice
Throughout the country? You have something in Florida now?
Dumb question but do chest seals work with someone hairy?
