This channel is the holy grail of backpack review channels

[@Nomads.Nation]

My favorite comment of the month 😂💪🏻 - thanks so much for the support!

[@arthuslim]

This is by far the best Boundary Supply Errant video. I have watched them all to make that final purchase decision.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks so much Arthus! I actually think the Errant is one of our best reviews - glad it could help you 😎

[@Nomads.Nation]

After 23 videos published on this channel, I can confidently say Tav and I are really hitting our stride and we think this is our best review yet. What do you think? How else can our videos improve? Let us know in the comments below - it helps us improve our channel! Also, let us know what you think about the Boundary Supply Errant - should our overall score of 4/5 be higher? COMMENT! ❤️

[@J4FCovers]

My personal suggestion would be to also show how you can pack the different backpacks. Like showing the different loadout and configuration. So that it easier for a person to understand if this backpack is suitable for a specific use. Most of the reviews on KZbin just say “ this is for a techy person or a photographer or a commuter “ but they hardly show it in practice. So for example would be cool to see how you would set up the Prima if you - like me - work in office and then after working you would like to go to the gym. Can you pack in a way to have both your job essentials and the gym clothing with you ? How practical it is? For example I was lucky enough to see the review of a guy using the peak design 20L for college and this convinced me that I could use it even if I don’t even own a camera. For me including a dedicated 2 minutes session about the different loadouts and use of a specific bag would be killer. Lot of people are turned off thinking that the bag is cool but not practical for their use or they may get the bag and realise that they were wrong and they can’t really use it for their daily habits

[@Nomads.Nation]

antoniocarusillo93 AMAZING suggestions - thank you so much!

[@hanryu8826]

The most throughout Errant review on YT! As someone who have had the Errant for over a year, I REALLY hope you can do a full review of every piece of accessories for it! Thanks!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks Han! I am def aiming to do a review for all of their accessories at some point :)

[@jesseschmalholz7262]

For real. I don't understand why your channel isn't massive. The quality of your vids is of a channel with over a mill. Very professional, well-edited, comprehensive reviews. Keep it up!!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the love Jesse! We just launched a few months ago and growth has been very steady - hopefully we can hit a mil subscribers in a few years!!

[@ImreVogelezang]

I miss the biggest con for this bag, the capacity you can carry is so much less than the stated volume. It is directly related to this bag being a bit over engineered. In practice, the main storage compartment holds a surprisingly little volume because all the other compartments eat away space and you end up with a oddly shaped and constricted storage space.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Hey Imre, thanks for the comment! And totally agreed, while I love this pack, it's def over-engineered, which severely compromises some functions (most notably capacity)

[@batdvn]

I watched a few of your reviews. Your reviews are better than A LOT of other reviewers with much more subs. I would bet my Nomatic travel bag that your channel is gonna blow up. Keep up the good work guys.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thank you so much for the encouragement, hopefully it does!

[@graveeezord]

Please continue to make these videos. Love it!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Don't worry - we ain't stopping! 😎🤙🏼

[@Edmondphk]

Haha, I am from Hong Kong, and I am using Boundary Supply Errant.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Haha this review must have been very familiar to you then lol

[@johnnyywl]

Hey! Firstly, I would like to say that I like this review a lot. It made me purchase the bag and I’m loving it. I would like to share my personal experience on how I made the magnetic hardware on the top easily shut. Firstly, you need to find out which side fits in easily and which side is having trouble. For example, the right side of the magnet lock on mine is easy when I just drop the top flap but the left side doesn’t go in. Once you figure that out, you just need to ensure the part which doesn’t automatically go in gets done first then you just drop the other side for a secure fit. It works 100% of the time. It’s a bit difficult to explain but it works for me :)

[@Nomads.Nation]

This is SO helpful Johnny - thanks a ton! And I'm glad the review helped and that you are loving your new Errant 🎒

[@PoeticGuidance]

Hey NN! Thanks for your videos! I got on an EDC kick the past couple months and bought a ton of Boundary bags (Errant, Aegis, Prima, Arclite) after watching a ton of YT reviews (including yours!). Initially, I wasn't super impressed with the Errant. It felt like there wasn't enough space and the coarseness of the shoulder straps really irked me liked you mentioned in the video. I took the Errant to San Diego for a week and grew to love the bag. I think the coarseness of the straps didn't bother me over time as much. What was impressive however was how comfortable the back and overall bag felt with a fully loaded Errant. The quality of the materials really shined when the bag was being thrown around and full. The magnets work a lot better when the bag is being used and not empty. The caveat to all this was that in order to solve the space issue, I bought the Aux compartment and the EXM Port Liter 6 and they helped so much. I put my packing cube in the Errant and all my tech gear in the Aux and the bag was great. I also put the Peak Design camera mount on the Errant shoulder strap and this bag is perfect for a 5-7 day trip. Anyways, thanks for your vids! Keep them going!

[@Nomads.Nation]

This comment is all sorts of epic. Thanks so much for this Ryan, I'll have to give the EXM a shot. Also if you like boundary supply then keep an eye out, we've got two more reviews from them coming soon 🕺

[@PoeticGuidance]

@@Nomads.Nation Looking forward to them! Keep up the awesome vids!

[@sabrinacabrerafilm9664]

I LOVE MY ERRANT. i've had my pack for over a year now. i live the Philippines and its such a great and secure bag for daily tech carry (I always carry my laptop for work) and weekend trips. i've taken this on diving excursions and so far its taken splashes of salt water super well, especially with the weatherproof zips.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the comment Sabs! I too love my Errant and am pleasantly surprised with how durable it has been. Also, I miss the Philippines 😭 - can't wait to visit again soon!

[@ChronoDudex]

Fantastic content and I'm glad to see you've grown since you posted this. This is among the best of all the Errant reviews I've watched, and is helpful especially with the comparison to other bags of this class. Keep making more videos!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thank you so much! We are growing faster everyday and we so appreciate you following our journey 🎒😎

[@hiho2040]

Great in-depth review man! I love the function and anesthetics of the Errant as well (mine is in X-PAC grey), but I'm on the same page as you on the comfort of it. I'm okay with the back panel, but the straps are a bit too stiff and digs in to my rib cage too (wished there was some way to alleviate this). Keep the quality videos coming! You got yourself a new subscriber! :D

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the kind words, and Im so glad someone agrees with me on the discomfort of the shoulder straps! More quality videos on the way :))

[@jayveeartdaling6320]

I don't know why i'm watching this video. I had this backpack for a year now. And I agree with all the Pros and Cons you mentioned. But the cons are forgivable. Haha. I also have the CB-1 and MK-2 camera inserts and the Thermal Insert which you can put inside the bottom compartment so you can keep your food warm. Thanks for this great video and review.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Hey Jayvee, thanks for the love! And totally agreed that the bags cons are definetaly forgivable. How do you like the modules/inserts?

[@TheItalianHotpocket]

Y'all deserve so many more subscribers with these super high-quality videos! Keep up the good work and hoping y'all's channel keeps growing!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Love this comment so much! Thanks for the support - more awesome content coming your way. (Also - love the youtube user name 😂)

[@eduardo_gama]

It is really a shame that this channel does not receive more attention. The reviews are great. Keep the great work man!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the love Eduardo! We are a brand new channel, only launched a few months ago, so these things take time. Hoping to hit 1k subs in the next few months!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks so much Shuan! If you do make a purchase be sure to use our links ❤️❤️❤️

[@Elcee333]

Nice video! I have the blue Errant. The straps do break in after a while. I find them pretty comfortable. I love the bag. Wish it was a little bigger. It doesn’t feel like a 24l bag, more like a 20l. Perfect for EDC and ok for a 2 or 3 day trip if you don’t take too much with you. A small peak design packing cube fits really nice, and you can add a jacket and maybe an extra jeans or pair of shoes, but that’s about all the clothing you can take with you.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the kind words and the awesome insight Lars!

[@BinhaoBags]

Nice video, thanks for sharing...

You are most dynamic reviewer in youtube universe lol

[@Nomads.Nation]

Wow that’s such an amazing compliment - thanks so much!

[@7CHUGI]

at $240 its same price as CITADEL R2 and only $40 cheaper than Peak Design Everyday Backpack, and almost all Aer backpacks are cheaper so not sure what is it much cheaper than?

[@Nomads.Nation]

When I reviewed this pack it was $175 I think

[@JohnvanGurp]

Hahah great review brother… love your style! Excellent video production too. I’m going to order one today.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Appreciate that man! If you make a purchase we always appreciate if you use our links 🙏🏽 . Be sure to let us know what you think of the bag after testing it for a few weeks

[@JohnvanGurp]

[@charlieluchangco2843]

Hi, thanks for the review. Lots of good points in there. After a few weeks in 2023 of owning the Errant Pack and several accessories, My comments are: - The quality of the construction is GARBAGE. The laser cuts on the straps unravel, the hypalon on the back panel and on the Aux compartment crack and peel, despite zero abuse. The zipper pulls start to disintegrate very fast. - The straps are very rigid and for me uncomfortable. They seem to work for some people, perhaps due to body type. - The look is very nice, and I enjoy the utility. Sadly the bag deteriorates so fast that it mars the overall look.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Really appreciate this info. I reviewed this bag and used it lightly on and off for a few months and never had a problem with it, but this isn't the first time I've heard someone say something like this

[@henryc33]

Great presentation- love the Indiana Jones part 🤣!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks so much!

[@CeeMKE]

Please do a video on the Knackpacks series 1 or 2, or both 👍🏾

[@Nomads.Nation]

Ooo! I wish I had one to review!

[@PKandME]

After 1 year usage it's a great backbag with some flaws imho: 1) The small straps to open the backbag on various clasps started to fall off and break after just a few month. 2) Most disappointing thing are the accessories like the aux compartment, which is just faulty design and doesn't hold properly at the top, since the wrong mounts were used. It makes it useless for everyone, since you can't trust it will hold while you hike or have so run a bit faster. So I don't recommend anyone to buy it, since it's also very pricy and not well thought through.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks so much for the epic comment!

[@ImreVogelezang]

I have the same problem with the zipper pulls, they are not durable.

[@junepark1003]

I’ve had it for 4 years and it still looks like new and dope

[@Nomads.Nation]

Hell yea! It’s one of the sickest looking packs in the game for sure

[@CharlesAttend]

Omg that reasurring me as I saw that this bag don't last a lot, like 2 years

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@CharlesAttend this bag will last - uses great materials and design

[@CharlesAttend]

@@Nomads.Nation I expect that yesss thanks for your answer. I ordered it two month ago on the official website (with your code 😉) , still waiting for it to be send and without any news despite many messages. This custommer service makes sure that my next backpack will be yours.

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@CharlesAttend whaaaa?? Two months ago and no responses to your messages? Their bags are amazing but that’s awful customer service. I’m sorry to hear that’s been your experience - I hope you get the bag soon

[@yamato_kakeyama]

Great video! I am using my Errant as a daily working pack here also in Hong Kong. Enjoy most of its feature but durability is a great concern with the zip pull material started falling off, the same material also fell off at the buttom of the pack where it takes most of the wears. Luckily the inner nylon layer doesn't break as easily!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the comment Lee! How many years have you been using it?

[@yamato_kakeyama]

@@Nomads.Nation It has only been 8 months by now~

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@yamato_kakeyama ah that’s not good. I haven’t heard that same experience from anyone else nor have I had that experience myself, hopefully yours is a one-off. I’d recommend reaching out to Boundary to see if they can give you any more insight

[@yamato_kakeyama]

@@Nomads.Nation good idea indeed! Thanks for the advice

[@LimWJ2023]

Enjoy your reviews very much very details 👍🏻😃.. Hope U can do a review on Boundary Supply errant pro.. should be their new bag.

[@Nomads.Nation]

WHOAAA I had no idea! So cool, I’ll reach out to Boundary and try to get one to review

[@seongunjeong4012]

Amazing review thx!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Our pleasure! Be sure to subscribe!

[@cloudlandsst6032]

Sometimes I needa reach the deepest part of the pack, but no side entrance & the top magnet seems not easy to close...Hmmm... 🤔🤔

[@Nomads.Nation]

Very good points! Granted the deepest part of the pack CAN be accessed via the back zipper and the top magnets do get easier to use with time. This is just a pack that takes a bit more time to get used to...

[@chengoak288]

Is there a way to make it luggage passthrough-able for this backpack?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Do you have a sewing kit? That aside, no I’m afraid

[@chengoak288]

Thanks.@@Nomads.Nation..I was thinking whether I could add sternum straps as luggage passthrough without affecting any warranty.

[@evilaenens8130]

Can I use this as a "college" backpack? I'm on a quest to find a backpack that says "I'm a woman in my 30s who's not a college kid anymore, loves to travel but takes her studies seriously, and is persnickety about her choice in backpacks because she needs her pockets and space for (note)books" ;) I've seen tons of reviews and I'm lost, so if you could give me some tips, I would deeply appreciate it! ... Love your reviews by the way!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Hey Evi, thanks for the kind words and double thanks for using the word 'persnickety' 👏🏻😂. I think the Errant would be a PERFECT backpack for your specific needs. I would also suggest taking a look at the Aer Tech pack and the Minaal daily backpack. Keep us posted with what you pick!

[@evilaenens8130]

@@Nomads.Nation I just LOVE that word, "persnickety"! 😀 Soooo, I've made a decision and I ordered... 🥁... the blue Errant pack! AND they threw in the port pack for free (#back2school)! Awesome timing 🤓 Thanks for the advice! 🙏🏼

[@Nomads.Nation]

So glad to help! And the Errant sounds like it's going to be perf-nickety for you! (See what I did there?). Please let us know how it goes after you've used it for a bit 🙏🏼😎

[@jorgeglez7088]

You have to buy the key clip separately, right? The one that goes in the side pocket on the magnetic dock

[@Nomads.Nation]

I’m not sure - boundary used to include it but not sure what the situation is now

[@regimaal]

Has this skyrocketed in price? Its 310€ on their website now.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yes, we shot the review years ago. Inflation happens

[@J4FCovers]

Rumours go that the strap on the module has been on high demand recently

[@Nomads.Nation]

Good to know!

[@J4FCovers]

@@Nomads.Nation anyway i like a lot the reviews! All of them. I think are among one of the the most honest together with HumorousMaximus. Chase Reeves is very entertaining but with the time I start realising he is hardly saying the cons. For example for him the Errant doesn’t have any flaws at all ( besides the magnetic closure ). In fact I have been always tempted to get one, the look is sick. But I wonder about the functionality. As you and also others ( like Ismono )showed, the top acces sto the main cargo area is almost useless and you may end up always using the clamshell opening which on the go may be not the best solution. Thanks again for the review !

[@harryparnisengland3718]

Does anyone know if they still have that Tech pack for the top of the middle pocket. I'm guessing its an extra accesory but can't find it on their website.

Would you still recommend this bag at it's current $220 price point? Great review.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yes. It was a steal before at $180, now I’d say it’s fairly priced

[@emanuel.luayza]

Nice video! But there is no a discount with the link below, it's the same price

Hey Emanuel - thanks for watching! We never said our links had a discount, just that buying with our links makes sure you get the best price and it also helps support our channel :) Thanks for the love!

[@charlieluchangco2843]

Boundary Supply? BUYER BEWARE! Terrible quality. Falls apart. Last a lifetime? You must be joking. That goes for the Errant pack as well as accessories too. What's worse - internationally they dont stand behind their product. Even when I purchased an accessory from a licensed dealer of theirs, the dealer refunded my money themselves and told me that they stopped dealing with Boundary as they dont answer warranty claims. AVOID!

[@Nomads.Nation]

thank you for this information, I've heard that Boundary's customer support is improving, but maybe there's still work for them to do
