Been watching your videos for the last few months. Living in AK as I get older I realize I’ve changed. Slowed down to look around and enjoy the moment. Your videos have given been great ideas and a want to camp and follow bushcraft more. Reminds me of the SERE days and other survival days I’ve done and want to go down those roads again. Thank you and keep up the great videos and outings!! I’d love to enter to win!! Thank you!!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey James! Old habits die hard. I'm x-military too and I'm always drawn to gear that looks and feels like the stuff I used as a younger man. I'm a lot fatter and slower but I think I enjoy the outdoors more now as I have more time to take it all it 👍 Good luck on the draw!

Its finally spring time and its just perfect for camping - Warm days, cool nights and no mosquitoes! 😊

[@jimbokiwi9322]

I have had the helikon tex bergen for a couple of years and is my go to pack for a day or wknd. But i wanted something a bit smaller just a quick mooch about with just a saw, knife, cooking gear. So i got this Haversack. I like it so far... But i don't like the clip fastener. It's okish to open with one hand. But you need 2 hands to close it. It's fiddly to close especially if the pack isn't full or you're hands a cold. I might end up changing the clip to a larger easier clip buckle. Besides that it is good bag.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I wasn't sure about the closure either - I thought I would break it, but its held up so far. I'm not sure if I was to change it, to another type that would work as well 🤔 - Let me know what you would switch to! 👍

[@marquepadley2715]

That looks like an Awesome bag, I tend to be like you and fill stuff up to the max, that one looks like a great size.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

It really is! Its the perfect size in my opinion for a day hike.

[@GF-pc5bt]

Great thorough review... Count me in on the draw....I did notice something fall out of the bag that you didn’t notice. Hopefully you didn’t lose it !

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Well spotted!! it was the bag tag - so I could remember all the names and features 😄

[@johnnyyukon7887]

We have lot's of snow if you would like some more! In the Yukon. Definitely a fan of your channel and could use a handy haversack. One can never have too many haversacks!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Awesome, thank you!

[@davidcooper6704]

Here are my observations - I don't like the top flap securing system. It is an attempt to copy the military system but does not have the same secure fixing. Also I would be happier with a wide flap and 2 fixings (adjustable) as per the tradional haversack. The height of the bag might be a problem if you use a tall water bottle perhaps? What is the molle system under the flap all about? I feel the designers haven't fully thought it through or they have changed the traditional for the ske of change/fashion. I use a British army S10 respirator bag which is cheaper ($10) and does the job equally well so I don't think I'll change it.......yet.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi David, It works surprisingly well and the molle on the front is good for sliding in my flashlight securely! I have not had an issue with a full size water bottle (Nalgene Stainless Steel Wide Mouth 'Standard' 38-Ounce) inside the holder. I own several S10 respirator bags (some with the S10's inside 😄) and they are not as useful as this haversack. I actually use it for non-bushcraft trips too if I'm just heading out and need some water for the dogs and a small camera for instance! I highly recommend it 👍
