I agree on the water bottle pouches. Nothing worse than hiking along and your water bottle falls out. Scratches, dents and broken plastic that leaks all your water.

Well the great thing about molle webbing is you can add water bottle holders or whatever you want
@reubenmorris4872 жыл бұрын
Condor's water bottle holder will carry that steel canteen perfectly. You can attach it to the Molle on the back panel. It does add a little weight though.
@kevinpratt77663 жыл бұрын
Great job on a thorough review. Always tighten your belt strap first so the weight is resting on your hips and closer to your center of gravity. Then tighten the shoulder straps so it stays flat against your back.

I really enjoy the content and the quality of your videos. My only 'quirk' I guess is in the intro. I am not sure about the 'Turtles' reference...again, just me.

That's a very cool bag. From what I see, it might be my favourite of the ones you've reviewed. I also prefer a water bottle to a bladder, but I seem to remember Condor or Maxpedition making a MOLLE bottle holder. Silly to have to spend extra dough on one when they should have just made one of the side pockets a bottle holder, but well, you know...
@BlackOwlOutdoors9 жыл бұрын
+Raindance Bushcraft Yea I think this is one of mine as well. You could definitely add a bottle holder. But I wouldn't. You'd be adding like 5-6 inches to the width of the pack (if you put it on the side). I don't use MOLLE in general because I don't like having loads of stuff on the outside of my packs. -Krik
@RaindanceBushcraft9 жыл бұрын

Neat bag. Neat how you have it hanging. Animals might have nothing to do with it. A person during the night might pass it and miss it completely while the owner is on the ground asleep.

Say Heah Krik, I think I have either a 3 day or a 3-5 day Condor 2 in the digital camo, and I really like it, it's simple fir one, but I also molle attach some of my cutting tool's and sufficient compartments fir water and my tarp, binoculars etc. and other things to carry while I scout a area or just go out for a hot cup of coffee on the open fire, I like my shoulder but sometime I find it too be too small, but I use it to really go lite. Yeah, Condor makes some good stuff.

I was thinking the same thing. This pack would great with a water bottle holder. Better yet, I would buy one right now if the took the handles off the sided and put Molle. Then I could mount a bottle holder and still have all the great storage just as it currently is. Condor... Get rid of the side handles and replace with molle

The molle webbing you don't like is made to add stuff to the bag... like a needed bottle holder... Just sayin'! (Condor make those too!) I like the pack. A bit larger than a dayback, but not a huge expedition pack. Perfect for 72 hours prepper pack. I agree that the lower main section is a great idea. It makes it easier to pack the heavy stuff on the top and make it stay there. Great bag to organize your stuff so you know where to find it, when you need it.

I'm sorry, I was being sarcastic, with friendly tongue-in-cheek intentions I assure you. Of course, I know that you know the function of webbing. I started to watch your awesome videos not long ago, but I can see right away that you know your stuff. I'm a subscribing fan. I fully appreciate your preference for a lean pack with not too much frills hanging on it. Lower profile, less chances to get tangled up in branches, etc. I like those packs as well, but I also like a pack that is basic as it gets, with webbing so I can adapt it to my needs with pouches. I too need to have a bottle holder on my pack, but I don't mind adding a pouch for it.

@johnschmidt60894 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but no, the upper main compartment is not "full clam shell." That is plain to see in the video, that when it is zipped open as far as it will go, and the front panel is pulled down, the front panel is not totally released, and its bottom and sides buckle as they are pulled by the force of the incomplete opening. It is very irritating to try to open something so that you can get all the way into it, but it will not open completely. When will these companies like Condor and 511 realize that customers hate this incomplete clam shelling feature? We want our pack to be capable of opening COMPLETELY. Then if we want to open them only partially, we can keep them partially zipped closed at the bottom.

I use a berghause remote 20lt for day hikes, it's a great bag, with a hydration pouch that allows you to store up to 3ltrs of water, and enough space to hold extra layers, waterproof s snacks makes it great for day hikes it also has an inerr compartment that holds your phone and multi tool or a small to medium sized camera. It has an outer pouch that I use to hold a saw ( bacho Laplander ) and a medium sized knife. I think it has two Velcro loop things that are supposed to hold walking poles or I've axes but I'm not sure what they're for. From my experience it is 100% waterproof. The bag is extremely comfy to wear. The only downside is that the waterbotle pouches on the outside barley fit anything so I don't really use them. And after 3 years of use of hiking and for edc the only thing that has ever broke is the plastic cover on the grab handle. Hope that helps. And allot of berghause stuff is great including there waterproofs bags and clotting Joe
