I like how calling a fanny pack a "Foxtrot MK2 Belt Rig Suspension Harness" makes it tactical.

[@55Quirll]

Just like the Tailor in John Wick 2 when he goes shopping, can't get much better than that. This is a good addition to have along with a B.O..B. or survival back pack. In the Going Home Series by A. American the hero had a huge pack, being 6'6" himself, he should have had this as a back up too.

[@kcstevens7532]

There's something about this video ... a Dove in the background chanting peace and you in the foreground showing me ways to survive if no one listens to the dove ... unintentional poetry. As frequently heard, outstanding!

Looks like a great addition to a get home back. Im sold.

[@petermccarthy9671]

This is a great pack. I received mine about 2-3 months ago and it has really done the job for me. I am in Florida and being 76 and love to day hike I have to make sure I have plenty of water with me, with the 2 pouches on the side I can carry all I need and have a very balanced load. The over the shoulder bags were giving me back problems with Fox Trot I have a very pain free hike. Plus with all of the other storage I can carry my 5c’s very comfortably.

[@KimberlyGreen]

Even the owl was so excited that it couldn't stop talking about the bag.

[@LeeEnfieldLB]

Watched this and bought one. I use it for SAR assignments especially for tracking. I beat the crap out of it for three years and its holding up strong. One of my best pieces of kit. They could improve the waist belt adjustment, but that's my only bitch. I take it everywhere, highly recommend it.

After watching the vid, yeah this is sweet. I have a couple duty belts. One for bushcraft and one for firearm drills. This here would be ideal for either. I’ll start with one I think for now. This is the perfect companion for my PLA paratroopers ruck. I’m not a fan of cordura fabric(rather take the old milsurp heavy canvas) but hey I’m also not one to complain aboot a sick piece of kit 😃

[@johnmeyers541]

Excellent video about a seemingly awesome piece of kit. Lots of options to arrange the necessities and the "just in case" stuff. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your efforts.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Yeah by the way, I got me one of those Mk2’s. I use it as my level one day kit. Meaning I expect to be out of the woods by nightfall. But I have enough to stay the night on emergency. So in the pack I have an emergency blanket, the reflective kind. Also I have a 5x7 piece of tyvek that I have installed grommets. It could be used as a ground cloth. Also a 55 gallon drum liner to make a litter bed. Which I learned from you Corporal. Semper Fi.

[@ke6ziu]

I found a kit that was better than our deuce gear, but inspired by it... the SADF pattern 70 kit. The bad part, is that it's canvas... and soaks up water! That's about the only bad! You can carry 21 mags of 7.62x51! 400+ rounds gets heavy, but... as you know, that weight is reassuring, knowing you have it!

[@Durplepurple94572]

Why not just put some wax on it?

GLAD YOU SHOWED......the Grayle and 40oz water bottle in the pockets. I live in the N.Y. Adirondack Mtns and water is everywhere cricks/springs/ponds/lakes. So I run with my Grayle and SS Stanley single wall Bottle. These bottle pockets don't look deep enough on the "website photos".....but....your photo and showing it being worn confirms they are "good to go." Thank you.

Helikon makes good quality gear. I ordered the Swagman Roll Poncho Liner, although I may not need it for several months here in So Cal. but can’t wait for it to arrive. I will order the MK2 "H" Harness by Helikon next. I like the video. Glad you show what gear you are using in this system. Helps seal the deal for me.

I'd happily use this around the house for my TV remote, travel mug full of coffee and a few snacks 😁👍

The harness is great. The bag... is small. I moved the harness to a MountainSmith tour 9L Lumbarpack. I have all the room I need for an entire weekend now. Couldn’t be happier.

[@DavidChouiniere]

I really like this design. I have not seen it before. It looks like it would be a nice substitute for a small sling pack. Looks like it would be comfortable on a hike. Thanks for the review and the scenes from your hike.

Heck yeah, that belt rig looks real handy...you could even throw a couple of ice paks in there and use it as a lunch bag for work I bet.

[@cdawson198600]

That’ll make a great scout pack for going out from camp for a day hike.

[@iamnotarobot2378]

Looks like a good minimal overnight bag. Concern is with the two bottle pouches though. A lot of bottle is sitting high with minimum load security. 1. Stainless water bottles very reflective in sunlight. 2. Not much securing full bottle in place when running, climbing etc. A cord and Velcro system such as Maxpedition Jumbo would be ideal. But hey, what the heck, part of the fun is personal modification. Besides I'm enthralled with this channel and your content Corp. Keep em coming.

[@oldgoat8861]

Feel like a 5yr old sneaking a cookie out of the cookie jar.....and I'm 60yrs Old. Wants and Needs, this is pretty nice setup. My wife's gonna say, "You bought something else again." I'll just blame it you and say, "The Corporall ordered me too !!!"

Have the same pack as part of my SAR system. Just so you know the Hidden Woodsman day ruck rides just above it. At least it does for me. Gives me the option of leaving my sleep system in the day ruck behind if not needed on a particular search. Basic gear(5 C’s) stay in the Foxtrot. Sleep system in the Woodsman. Solid review.

[@andrewdeadder9905]

jadehelm288 0 If the park is short enough yes. I can also attach my Day Ruck to the Foxtrot. With that configuration the Foxtrot will work as a hip belt. I like that my system is modular.

[@tnh723]

It matters that Helikon-Tex isnt a chinese company.bravo!

[@ChesapeakeHammockandOutdoors]

Mine came in the mail yesterday, and man is it one awesome piece of kit! I've got the 10 C's from my Condor H harness plus some, and it's smaller and way lighter. The construction is flawless, this thing will last a long time. I've already had it out on a few mile hike and it performed great. Helikon-Tex seems to have some really bomb proof gear and for a reasonable price. I definitely want to get an insert for the Foxtrot and the E&E pouch to replace the Condor pouch I have on its PALS webbing now. If I didn't already have the Snugpak Inhanced Patrol and Liner, I would pick up a Swagman Roll too. Helikon-Tex is a company to keep an eye on! I will be doing a head to head video of the Foxtrot vs the Condor H harness vs my old school 782 rig if anyone is interested once I put the Foxtrot throne it's paces some.

[@unclebrownson]

The water bottle bungee cords work better for me by pulling them up onto the shoulder of the bottle, so they pull the bottle down into the pocket.

At work right now my friend I shall watch this later on tonight

Glad I found your content✊🏻💪🏻 Thank you so much for sharing knowledge with us all. Salute to you brotha

[@JoelWetzel]

Punisher, it's a go! Keep up this good work, sir. This belt rig reminds me of times gone by when I would tote an SLR, though suspended only by shoulder strap. Otherwise my main bag has always been a surplus large NATO rucksack, but it's been taken out of service for having a 3-thread shoulder strap. Once I'm done with this cancer caretaking gig at home I'll hit the trail to recharge my batteries and will certainly be putting some of your tips to use, even if I am camping out of a small truck. Thank you. Peace.

[@animistchannel2983]

Great episode, handy pack. I like it for day-fishing while exploring around water-banks. Plenty of room for tackle, lunch, tools, drinks; plus it won't get into your shoulders' or waist's range of motion for casting and playing fish. Looks like you can even sit with it on. Lower hip-level center of gravity is nice, too, since fishing already spends upper body energy. Sweet kit; I'll seriously consider that next time around. Thanks for all you do to find the most practical gears and techniques for us to add to our options!

[@1erinjames]

I really like this pack!! Kinda wish the pack was a bit bigger, but really great bag!

[@brettlaw920]

Depending on how flexible the material is, you should see if Heli-kon will produce a bushpot that is stamped to slide inside like a pack basket. Also, how well does the swagman roll and a small hammock fit in there?

[@pujo28]

Hey Corporal you should partner with Bic lighters and add the logo to the lighter body-First time every time!!! Love it bro. Keep the great videos coming. You really have sparked my interest in hiking & camping. God bless America

[@papermind4010]

If it had four columns of molle it’d be that much more scaleable, it’s so much easier to find 2x pouches that fit a wider range of needs than it is to find a 3x pouch or a 1x pouch that fits that same range of needs.

You need to stop. My budget doesn't allow for this. I can't keep watching your reviews anymore. The missus will kill me. Thanks corporal.

[@kevinjhonson5925]

Nice pack I use the monster badlands style fanny pack wit harness for hunting day trips. I have a bad back and I find that style of pack keeps the weight low and acts like a back brace when you tighten it up. The issue I have is I have wide shoulders and the shoulder strap system on the badlands is a inverted v around the neck. As a result it’s flips up on its edge cutting in. This pack has a H style system. I might pick this up. The search for the perfect pack never ends.

[@BeauregardQuitman]

FWIW (not that I have anything like the experience of SK) I tried the unit out on a hike with two large water bottles and a simulated load (that is I stuffed it full of random crap). Even to my old, fat, out of shape self it was quite comfortable and the quality is top notch. On the strength of my experience I ordered the Bandicoot fanny pack and am equally as satisfied with it. I can’t thank SK enough for the recommendation and demonstration.

Outstanding video! Despite the criticism you’ve received, it’s all about the tools you put in your toolbox and how you use them. Although I probably wouldn’t go with this pack because I’m not a minimalist, I think this may suite others well; especially hardcore survivalists. Love the Cobra 🐍 Kai T-shirt; epic! Keep up the great work.

[@shawnphipps8479]

I am not known as a minimalist but this would be great as a all day rimfire walk about bag. Is big enough for everything i would need for squirrel/varmint shooting with enough room for a blow out bag and other emergency gear.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

Helikon makes awesome gear. I wish they had a distributor here in the USA as I once ordered something small and it took almost three months to get here from the U.K. IF they now have a U.S. distributor, someone tack on a message here.

[@ThePurplenator]

They do, it is based out of New York. Go to their website and replace the ".com" with ".us"

[@alexanderweaver9182]

Helikon Tex produces some really fine gear. I love the Swagman Roll and their poncho. I'll certainly add this to my wish list. I bought a 5.11bag (called the HBD Mike) recently that has shoulder straps and was going to use it as a range bag but as I was "experimenting" I discovered it makes an incredible bug out bag, overnight bag and can carry up to 25 pounds comfortably. Could you possibly do a review on it? I value your opinions on gear as a high percentage of my loadouts are a result.

[@mikelaughlin4470]

Looks like a fine piece of kit. A great little day pack, with the military style poncho underneath.

^_^That's nice gear, CC. My dad brought some of the original web gear home from Vietnam, my Idiot brother claimed it after his passing. Now it just sits in a box along with other stuff from my dad collecting dust. He'll never use the gear, he only holds on to it for memories. Thank You.

[@Ouwkackemann]

I would like to have those bottle pouches higher, up to the top of the bag, for holding 2/3 or 3/4 of the bottle height, just to get more hold of them.

[@Ouwkackemann]

And that bottom slings should have clips for a faster use, just my opinion.

[@Ouwkackemann]

Otherwise, I like the Helikon stuff. Good quality for a fair price. Do have some of their stuff.

[@cmliphone]

Really great piece of kit. I have the day ruck scout from Hidden Woodsman and his haversack plus the Pathfinder water bottle carrier, but the ruck can be more than I need and the water carrier and haversack shift when bending over or moving fast. This might be a good compromise.

Genuine question. Why would you choose this instead of a regular small backpack ? What are the benefits over / instead of a backpack? Cheers 👍

[@mimungseveritas6752]

Hy, I've been using this bag plus 2 other small bags that I've attached to it for 2 years now on my long hikes with my dog (4-6hours). Of course you can also use a small backpack, which is important to me: I have the most necessary things with me, my back is free over a large area, the load does not press on my shoulders. But what I really like is the fact that I can work with my pocket. I don't have to put my backpack down first to get to the items I need right now. I reach back, open it and get what I need. In addition, I am much more organized and flexible with the little thing than with a backpack in which everything lies on top of one another. If you want to work with a bag while running, this part is awesome. But if I walk somewhere and stay stationary then the backpack is better because of its capacity.

I wore this Helikon pack today on a short hike, and have to say, it's more comfortable then all the other ones I own, and for just under 70 bucks, it rocks.

Looks like a tactical lunch box with harness but without the cooler insulation. Nice piece of kit really like the easy to use bottom straps for blanket or tarp. A lot less complicated than the pathfinder system. Would probably change out Grail water system for stanley 24 oz cup with msr stove and gas bottlle inside it. As always Corp great stuff
