Helikon Essential Kitbag: Bushcraft & EDC Bag - Compact Carrying Option

[@heystarfish100]

Looks like an ideal size pack for taking on a urban hike.

[@joeyjones9041]

I'm getting ready to buy the Helikon Gen 3 ECWCS level 1 and 2 base layers from Military 1st. Most of the gear I've looked at by Helikon Tex is made really well.

[@bpmuzik808]

I’m glad you’re keep doing small packs. I ended up going with the katara 16. Was using the Haley Strategic Flat Pack. I enjoy smaller packs for edc.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Nice little bag. I can see many places something like this would work with a larger kit. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

I think you represented this well for what it could be used for! Looks like a well made piece of kit.

[@uncatila]

It can be a bag you keep on your main pack as a detachable survival bag while surveying the surrounding area. It can be latched to a belt.

I like this kit bag, with its tons of organizational compartments...The Grey man approach to this is good for urbanite preppers... I checked out the site....they don't have it available in Canadian currency...my guess for this bag in CAD is $ 61.oo 😎👍💯 cheers

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I have several of Helikon-Tex pouches, their fanny pack and jackets, they make great products!

[@martingreen2018]

Hi Tim, Martin from the UK, I've got a few bits from helikon and it's all great kit and military first customer service is brilliant thanks for the review

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Good to hear that about the customer service. They’ve been great to work with for me

[@jaredwiggins1694]

​@@EverydayTacticalVids is the Main Compartment/Pocket in Helikon-Tex Essential Kitbag in anyway Insulated just in case of freezing cold temperatures/weather?

[@robbabcock_]

Nice! Helikon-Tex makes great gear. Pretty nice looking pack for the money.

I use a Molle sling bag off of amazon for carrying around town. Just swing it around to the front to access without taking off... works amazing. Not great for heavy stuff as it will dig into shoulder over an entire day but for a couple lbs it’s fine. This one looks cool too. Even my wife started wearing one instead of a purse for a while to work. Lol. That’s a cool pack though here.

[@kan-zee]

did you get a sore back from wearing it , daily?....I started getting aches, with a sling bag...I had to take a break from it, cause of the unbalanced weight on the shoulder and back..

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Kanzee no. I’ve had it for years. I keep edc stuff, water, sometimes food if I walk to store etc for some items but mostly light weight items. Flashlight, knife, mini first aid, sunglasses, water, lighter.... main area for whatever my son needs... strap is very wide so no problem. One I have is red rock outdoor rover sling. It’s too much of full of heavy stuff but I keep a grocery bag rubber banded up in it too for heavy items to carry if I end up getting items too big for it that I didn’t plan on. I do find myself pulling the sling forward keeping the pack higher up a lot. A habit I guess. I’m a really big guy and it feels like it hangs too low but I really like the easy access to things without taking off backpack straps etc .. for my needs, it works 90% of the time and otherwise a bag or backpack

[@barkriverbravo1]

Haa , I just found this bag today before I saw your video pop up , I was wondering why not to many reviews , looks like a great bag

[@tracker5849]

It is!!

[@pyrosmoak53]

That's a nice lil kit bag, I like your great selection

[@Diebulfrog79]

Thanks, Tim.

[@xmh3fx]

The Tasmanian Tiger essential Pack would also be a great option!

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

Very nice, dont have one but I think I will now, been seeing these bags get used and like it would be a nice addition, Thanks

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Glad I could help out to let you know about this.

[@peggyhall5363]

Thanks. The colors are easy eye appeal, not attention getters. The bandana placed in the top compartment, wouldn't this save rm in lg compartment? The personal alarm could work for self defence or to keep animals like a dog at a distance, would it be better more easily accessible outside?

[@jameslandon5418]

Love your content Tim, keep up the great work!

[@cowboyup7096]

Some day I will own one of those

[@tracker5849]

Great idea..i have 2..have only used for bushcraft etc..that may change

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for watching and glad I could offer some new ideas on how to use it.

[@jarosawdrapikowski2049]

I have a question. how big is the main compartment? How big will the roof binoculars fit in the main compartment: 10x42 ?, 10x50 ?, 12x50 ?, 15x56?

[@PoeticallyCorrect]

Is the pockets big enough for a spirit stove?

[@jeffdejarnette9495]

Very informative video Tim. Thanks.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for checking it out and commenting Jeff.

[@joekasperek1086]

Love it Tim, Just what I need

[@theshanester338]

It’s on my Christmas list

[@chrisbellette9181]

Anyone know if you're able to fit a Pathfinder 32oz Bottle & Nesting Cup + Lid inside the main compartment?

[@marko11kram]

That's actually a nice pack. Is the outside fabrick water resistant? ie Maxpedition?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yes very similar

[@naikonone]

Looks like an agentinian matero's kit 🤣. Great review, thanks for share.

[@georgeseriani2482]

It looks like it might fit my 8inch tablet

[@ToyMuseum-lw3pz]

Nice gloves.

[@CM-ve1bz]

Just out of curiosity, who has ever used their multi tool. I carried one for years in a get home bag that was put to the test regularly and never used that particular tool once. That's a quarter pound I don't carry anymore.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Interesting. If I have one on me and no other knife, I will use a multi-tool. Or for repairs.

[@CM-ve1bz]

EverydayTacticalVids One of my differences from most is the backpackers stove head and 4oz of fuel I carry. It's only 7oz total between the two. I use it mostly when it's raining, and making a fire is next to impossible. It can boil 2 cups of water in under 4 minutes, and can do it 25 times, give or take a couple. The hot grub and coffee or hot chocolate depending on age, can be a genuine morale booster. The boys have a love for MREs so they use the heaters but I like mountain house so I need the heated water.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Its a nice little man purse. If you need all that gear at work with you all the time, your job must be really dangerous. This isn’t a cut at your videos; I appreciate them and watch them all. Keep up the good work!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yeah, this is more of maybe a set up by carry if I went out for a little adventure during the day

[@codycox2685]

PT belt adds gunshot immunity. Just ask my First Sgt.

[@wirawhitebelt7364]

👍🇲🇾

[@PreparedWolf34]

Nice but just looks like a modified canteen carrier.
