5.11 PUSH Pack Review

tinyurl.com/mdwx6y6
Preparedmind101 loves the Maxpedition Fatboy...but it was time to try something different. Enter the 5.11 PUSH Pack. I give my unbiased review of this "tacti-cool man-purse" and break down the good and the bad, often using the Maxpedition Fatboy Jumbo as a comparison (since that is the main competitor).

Great review Chris and thanks for taking the time to make this video! I completely agree about the side pockets. In fact, this feature alone has me leaning towards one of the Maxpedition bags you mentioned.

[@snake7686]

Cool review, I got the daily deploy push pack from 5.11, the updated one and I use it for my edc bag when I'm patrolling as a campus safety officer, great bag for the essentials 👌

[@ggh100pearl]

Love the review. Was thinking about a side-carry bag for my father who just had shoulder recon-surgery and can only use one arm for now. I bought a pair of 5.11 boots yeaaaaars ago. I gotta say, 5.11 has some quality stuff! Although my father now wants a tac-light more than a bag, I appreciate the unbiased review.

[@KISH351]

Where is house at? If you don't mind me asking? I really like your back yard, like privacy and the woods surrounding your yard. I'm a country boy. I've been doing a lot of EDC checks on all of my gear. Great video. Keep them coming,

[@richardcherry567]

Well thanks for your videos and the channel. Funny videos with knowledgeable, honest reviews and some useful advice and skill training is a formula that I really like in a channel. I have bought a few of the knives that you have reviewed and I agree with your reviews on them. I have grown to trust your honest reviews, and I was curious what you thought about the Cold Steel Spartan I've been wanting one but I have my doubts about it. Thanks again for everything.

[@daleellis9697]

Very helpful review - and channel as a whole! Those side pockets might actually be beneficial in an urban environment where you might have very short walks and/or have easy access to water and would prefer a smaller profile to the whole bag or the flexibility to have those pockets hold other small objects.

[@Mike82ARP]

Do you ever get any grief from stores or other venues while using this?

[@thephilshow9701]

I picked up that same blade two years ago, It's a great little knife!

[@livingsurvival]

Good review, I ended up with the Max Jumbo but this one is quite similar.

[@SouthernJaeger]

Excellent review. I will be buying this bag. Thank you.

[@33reyjay]

Thanks for the review/comparison with the versipak. I'm gonna spend the extra dough for the nalgene pocket and upgraded materials. Maybe I'll grab the 5.11 for the wife though...

[@annedien]

Maybe the rubber thingies are to prevent the buckles from reflecting. For all that tactical jazz.

[@markagao8689]

I love my push pack. Converted the ccw pocket to an arrow quiver. Got a snall med kit. Tools score card. Extra D loop. Mini pry bar. Rangefinder an monocular. Water and snacks. Perfect kit for 3D archery.

[@mikedog2000]

hi. What was the surefire altoids tin that you mentioned? Is that a homemade kit or what? Thanks

[@czechmate9591]

Hey mate, i own four 5.11 bags and they are an excellent bit of gear, i use the 5.11 push pack for my scout bag / hunting scout bag, ive had it for nearly over a year and wear it all the time, you cant go wrong with it. cheers

[@danmuchoney7164]

Thanks for the vid. I appreciate your honest vids. Great job.

[@preparedmind101]

Thanks. It's a simple formula I figured out before I started the channel. "Hand Model" reviews are boring. Trying to core off like you are a big shot just makes you look like you look like you want to be the next reality TV expert, and pele don't let being talked down to. Being yourself on camera is way more real, and not treating everything "deadly serious" makes it more watchable.

[@KISH351]

I also own a M-Tech knife. It's a BAD ASS knife. I carry it everyday and every where I go. I will be getting more for my EDC check.

[@alanspurlock]

i was considering one of these versepack type bags, the problems is that there is not enough room for packing rain jackets and extra layers. i guess these bags just look like glorified fanny packs to me. thanks for doing the review.

[@redeyedryno2087]

Side pockets are designed for smaller 20oz. water bottles, when you zip them up it typically covers up to the top.

[@TSisk2]

I'm surprised you didn't check out the UTG sling bag. Enjoyed the review, you're right some of us can't afford the expensive stuff.

[@Lordbrega]

I'm trying to come up with an excuse to buy this bag. I guess that means I really don't need it. I think I'm going to get a small backpack for my EDC. I'm leaning toward the LA Police Gear Operator Backpack. It's small enough to take to work. Good video.

[@tylerhitner1469]

the side pockets are for water bottles i use the same bag and a normal plastic bottle fits in

[@FireeSpitaa]

Stupid question.. whats the velcro strap behind the pack used for?

[@henlouwu8913]

Is it designed to be carried on any one side? Or can you carry it on your right hip as well as your left?

[@adhair]

Also a good choice if you don't like Maxpedition as a company, even if the Versipacks are on clearance right now.

[@greenmoose91]

Really nice review! Do you think I could fit a regular sized DSLR in it?

[@aumarigan]

Yup you can fit one.

[@robertotedd]

Cuánto mide el interior de cualquier bolsillo lateral. Gracias

[@richardcherry567]

I like the bag except the side pouches also. I think I will buy one for a light get home bag. For when I go to work (about 10 miles away from home) I have a bigger bag for bigger trips. I love your channel you are actually one of the more entertaining parparedness channels on KZbin. I always find myself cracking up at your reactions to your environment or ac messing up your videos. Which seems like it happens a lot. I feel like your house is out to ruin your videos. lol They are still great.

[@EatCarbs]

I have the jumbo versipack and the dedicated bottle pouch sold it for me. I wanted a way to carry about a nalgene other than hanging the hoop off my finger. =\ The push pack seems pretty cool.. and I DO like 511 products. Thanks for the review.

[@gballz]

Nice review... but where does your gun go?

[@Timefraction]

on your body

[@TSisk2]

How's the bag working out? I had to take the pad off my strap.

[@magicROCKETSify]

Review the vanquest mobius

[@toddbarraza3433]

I prefer the maxpedition jumbo fat boy or the condour edc sling myself

[@preparedmind101]

The Spartan is huge, heavy, ridiculous, and totally impractical. I had one when they fist came out. Skip that one.

[@preparedmind101]

Its like a more advanced e-cig.

[@danmuchoney7164]

Hi Chris. You are tough but fair. Great review.

[@SpriteMane27]

lol the 5.11 push pack is designed to be filled with self defence and survival items and tools

[@user-bx1pz9mr6q]

Is this a 3l or a 6l?

[@68MIKEILIKE1]

Every time I hear him say zombie apocalypse I piss myself laughing. I think that he semi believes it is going to happen.

[@preparedmind101]

You're supposed to laugh. That's the point.

[@68MIKEILIKE1]

Oh, my bad. I love your vids by the way and have bought a lot of stuff based on your assessment. Good job.

[@richardcherry567]

Ok thanks will do I'll use that almost 70 bucks to get something else.

[@BadKarma714]

i like the bag

[@czechmate9591]

give me a whole box of that hyper drive

[@tomritter493]

great pack

[@trooper2221]

Think I'll stick with maxpedition jumbo versipak

[@What_Fred_Said]

There are knock offs way cheaper that would do just as good for cheap. I have one. That being said, I would like to get this one, in different colors because I'm always buying things I will probably never need or use. It's nice to have money.

[@preparedmind101]

core= "come" pele= "people". Why they call these things "smart phones" I'll never know...

[@buzzsah]

I just order one on Monday. I really wanted something smaller, more fitted and to hang a bit lower. I just want to carry a gun, wallet, money. Although it looks like a good bag for the buck, I am kinka sorry I didn't see your video before I bought it. It looks to be larger then I want. O-well.

[@benetonk]

i like that vape pen necklace.

[@jarredgerstein6051]

that small, pointless, worthless pocket right there holds my can of grizzly nice and snug!

[@mrhero6169]

GR34T VID30 💯

[@KungFuTweety1]

try dans depot dot com for a bag with a draw string closure

[@handlemytask618]

I just don't get why people feel the need to carry a sparking magnesium style fire starter. One of those tiny blow torch style lighters will last a long time and it's so much easier to start a fire with. Also, who is going to need a knife sharpener? Sharpen it when you get home! Any bag this small is just going to be something to get you out of trouble, get you to your car, or maybe get you home. Most of what he has in that bag is useless, or as he says "Silly". But the extra VAPE battery WILL SAVE HIS LIFE, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! (SARCASIM)

[@amandas1270]

charger for a VAPOR CIGARETTE in a survival pack... thats hilarious

[@quebirt]

I guess there are enough stupid people out there that this crap works. Most of us are going to ask why you would carry a whole bottle of "supplements" every day though, and start looking at your channel as advertising. Still helped me get a better look inside the pack, but still, sadtoseeasellout. Guess we know why you "got a lot of stuff lately" though.

[@tacticaltradecraft]

Anyone who used the term "tactical man purse" instantly looses credibility!

[@JenkemSuperfan]

Sarcasm is a thing

[@TantoBrownBear]

Tactical Tradecraft searchoverload8 I just say man purse. No use in trying to sugarcoat it.

[@VividBliz]

What a fucking moron you are. It was sarcasm.

[@preparedmind101]

you must not be familiar with my brand of humor.

[@mattgrimley2316]

What about people that say looses instead of loses?
