Direct Action Gear DUST Backpack Review

[@TheGorillafoot]

I have the Ghost by Direct Action. I love it. Great company.

[@SensiblePrepper]

Good to hear. Thanks

[@AirsoftInsurgency19]

I also own the Direct Action Ghost, its a solid backpack. 10/10

[@rubennieto9449]

SensiblePrepper Is there a comparison to the LA Police Gear Atlas?

[@SurvivalLilly]

I had that same pack for 2 years, and have worn it almost every day. I was pretty happy, but it was a little too small, so I have switched to a bigger bag now. But all in all the Dust is a good bag.

[@antoniobotello4996]

Survival Lilly I been there.

[@matmin6221]

Direct Action Dragon Egg. Medium size (25L).. However, i more prefer to Dust.. Great EDC..

[@prepsho5007]

Regard's from Poland!

[@tonyhall395]

This is a great video from prepper but I had already purchased mine after watching Lilly's video, and she is far prettier than the prepper, strength and honour.

[@anthonycardenas4994]

Which bag do you have now?

[@bleib3808]

As I await news in Florida for impending hurricane Irma I am reflecting on my preps and wether or not my family and I ready to handle the disaster. I just really wanted to take a moment to thank you because it has been your videos that started me on my journey to be more prepared

[@BertShackleford]

I absolutely love bags, packs, pouches, crates, cans and all sorts of compartmentalization products and various containers. Organization is paramount in keeping a smooth operation. The only problem is the lack of gear to fill each and every one of these things. It's an addiction. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@nite999wolf]

Subscribed! You do some of the best videos of gear on KZbin. I really appreciate the fact that you actually USE and TEST all the gear! It makes a big difference when deciding what will work for me. Great video, thank you!

[@aleenward4500]

I've just started building my own medical and trauma kit and your videos have really inspired me and gave me a lot of great ideas on what to put in my bag

[@CircaSriYak]

One of the best intros I've seen so far sootch

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks Brother!

[@nmr6988]

I knew NOTHING about backpacks until I started watching sootch00 and SensiblePrepper. I don't need anything this rugged, but thanks to you I have found a GetHomeBag that I can carry comfortably and which happily, I could afford!

[@floesh-408]

Direct Action Gear used to be owned by Helikon-Tex. That's why this old logo with a cameleon is on it. The Dust v2 has their new own logo. I own the Dragon Egg, Ghost and messenger bag. Awesome quality and the best bang for your buck compared to Maxpedition. Greetings from Holland!

[@kfeltenberger]

I have two Gen 1 Ghosts and a Gen II Dragon's Egg, and they're probably the best packs I have. The Ghosts are configured as get-home bags for each of the cars, while the Dragon's Egg is becoming my daily use EDC pack. What I really like about them is that there is very little wasted space on the panels; there are pockets, pouches, mesh keepers, and such, so you have options. I've never warmed to Maxpedition, mostly because the material is just too stiff and I feel like the pack is making me work how it wants rather than me making the pack work how I want. Great review! It's nice to see more reviews of Direct Action's products.

[@WorkItJ216]

Love you vids. You do some great reviews on bags and I am a bag gurl. Never heard of Direct Action and I really like this bag.

[@shandar3278]

I love watching your videos. It's great to see a fellow patriot. God bless!

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Nice looking pack and great video as always. I was curious if you have or could do a video on an urban EDC/Survival if say something were to happen while you were in town/city and had no access to get to your vehicle to get home.. And had to hunker down in the concrete jungle... thanks for the good videos God Bless

[@bc_usa]

Well done sir.. Good music... Its. like watching a movie and review all in one.. I really like your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@safacanesafacane783]

The organisation are very well made on this bag

[@darthblade2016]

Have the Dragon Egg by these guys and I love it! Actually just bought the Dust because they have some epic sales going on with some of their camo colors, but not the solid ones. I think they're trying to get rid of stock, but I paid $69 for the woodland camo and I'm pumped, haha.

[@corycat7705]

Where?!

[@darthblade2016]

@@corycat7705 This was 4 years ago on the Direct Action Gear website, lol

[@Kenn1969]

Like the intro music...very "Ireland--y" LOL

[@Trending_Usa]

That was a very well put together video. Props man 👌

[@lyca0n535]

Beard suits you man, I love you gear reviews and item hacks (not really the fully prepper vids but hey that's just my personal taste)

[@lancemaxwell8464]

I can't get enough of your channel :)

[@christmasisawesome9348]

Direct action gear and its sister company (Chamelion logo) are quite underrated.

[@OzMan9989]

I have an olive dust and badlands dragon egg. Two of my best bags ever. Bombproof without the 1000 denier stiffness which I hate.

[@OzMan9989]

Aaron Bueno usually the dust for edc since its smaller but depends what you like to carry

[@OzMan9989]

Aaron Bueno it's perfect for that

[@aion1752]

@ SensiblePrepper are you going to have a look at DA tactical gear like the platecarrier or chest rig? The Pencott patterns are also very neat.What do you think about them? I have had the Ghost pack for nearly two years. It's a very sturdy, enduring and well proportioned pack. DA manufactures great stuff. Very popular over in Europe.

[@RJM1011]

The Green Zone camo they do looks real good thank you for the video.

[@evanhicks3980]

The dragon egg is legit as well. Took that hiking through green mountain falls in colorado and beat the tar out of it...still looks new

[@aleenward4500]

Keep up the great work can't wait for the next vid

[@john7m7usa]

Neat, thanks for the review! I'll probably get their waist pack soon, can be a good solid "1st layer of gear" for the GHB!

[@aleenward4500]

One of my favorite packs another great video sensibleprepper

[@TheSerpentsEye]

Haven't been able to check out a video from you in a while. Dig the mustache and the new intro. It's very Fred Penner. I mean that with all respect. Take care.

[@koskkk]

Really great review brother! Thank you.

[@Vdubb]

That style of back has been common on a lot of backpacking packs like Kelty, Osprey, and the like for a while. Would like to see more "tactical" company incorporate into their designs.

[@GoddessofGrunge]

Nice pack I'll have to check them out another informative video thanks!!

[@LuigiLong]

Looks like a really nice back pack!

[@neil_castell]

ive got that logo on a couple of items i own by a brand called Helikon-Tex, also made in Poland, am assuming there is a connection,

[@soulkitchen1979]

I have the Dust in gray. Love it.

[@TangyAftertaste]

Love the intro music!!!

[@tizdizzley]

I like the look of this bag. A little small for me and seems to be a little on the expensive side for a 20L pack. Or I could just be super cheap. Either way great review.

[@cdlady54_95]

I thought I saw this vid before, but evidently not. I like the bag. Small but very inclusive.

[@jonnyt16]

Hey Sootch forgive my ignorance but what is a Thirum capsule? Shown at 3:30 in the video. Thanks.

[@darthblade2016]

Its a waterproof capsule that can attach to MOLLE webbing/panels. Spelled "thyrum" and I personally use them to store batteries and will be getting a nice orange one to put some fire-starting stuff in.

[@sleepnclass]

[@Christoph_NTX]

What is the music at the beginning of the video? I like it

[@guylo88]

props to the ren fair music

[@pedroleonargentina]

AWESOME Bag!!! COOL video!!! Atte: Pedro LEON from Argentina!

[@edwo6648]

For those who care, Direct Action manufactures all their gear overseas, their packs are made in Vietnam.

[@darthblade2016]

#SensiblePrepper Is the sternum strap removable? I know you said the waist strap can at least hide away, which is good. Just curious, because those can get annoying for EDC use.

[@nickhdeep6leatherworks338]

i went to their site and the largest pack is 25L. am i missing something? I like the small pack but in the market for a larger BOB.

[@Bigchoucroutte]

Hi sir, its a very good review, but where is it made ?

[@mehdimahdi1175]

nice video Sootch :) can i ask you about the name of the FAK pouche ? and do you have a review on it ? thank you

[@alphabravo41]

great review and great pack. can't help to ask: what's with the 'stache sootch?

[@hammer9390]

Great video. What model of AR, are you using.

[@russelltech]

what did you use for the intro and outro songs?

[@ScottyM1959]

I checked out their packs from the link nice stuff there my question is is where did you find that tiny flashlight? I've been looking for one preferably with a hole to attach it to the inside my bag or to clip on my shirt on a retractable lanyard.

[@mountainghost556]

ScottyM1959 check out the stream light nano really good interior pack light I have them in a lot of my gear. The price is really good to,I think like 9.00 but don't quote​ me on that. You can find them on Amazon.

[@coreydebord7905]

What is the capsule you carry on the outside of the bag?

[@gumbi8989]

where did you get those sunglasses from? I love em.

[@KEROYON7997]

What is the theorem capsule??

[@ikyus4513]

What's the title or the name of the music?

[@TheLegend-jf3vj]

SensiblePepper Is so cool,in Italy fan XD

[@Iamjasonallen]

Thanks Sootch.

[@paytonwagner3714]

Nice vid!!!

[@bayleyanderson9848]

Notification squuuuad. Who up?

[@CircaSriYak]

got the firing squad instead *cocks AK*

[@maple1600]

Nice pack with a real nice price.

[@eltenda]

I like It a lot!!

[@jabara83]

I like it, but I don't like it. It's a beautiful backpack, but they're also $150 on Amazon. I have a North Face Recon pack that I've been using for around 3 years, and it only cost me about $60. It's about the same size as this, and I can put everything in it that I want. I guess the issue that I'm getting at is why pay so much for a backpack when I could get a very good one for less than half the price?

[@darthblade2016]

When I bought mine last year, it was actually cheaper to buy them directly from Direct Action's website. Right now though, they have awesome discounts on a lot of their camo patterns only, so they might be trying to clear out inventory.

[@michaelmeyer1384]

Would this make for a good 1-3 day bug out Bag???

[@johnnywhatevah5201]

It is 20 litres, so maybe this one is better for EDC. I think the Dragon Egg (25 litres) by Direct Action would be a better BOB.

[@bcvaldez9]

Does it have a pocket for a camel back or a port for the hose?

[@johnnywhatevah5201]

Yes, it has a water bladder pocket. Yes, it has a hole at the top of the pack for the hose.

[@wadepriest4544]

Prepared Grunt I see video but didn't follow

[@analysisparalysis2124]

That PenCott.... It's calling me

Thanks David

[@iphonemusings]

Nice bag, and a good price :)

[@BH-og9tp]

so cool!

[@LManhattan]

Hello, I'm from Argentina, I wanted to consult you about your weapon, how much does it cost there?

[@CircaSriYak]

As a broke gear queer, I'll give you my professional opinion that it's about $1500

[@cregam778]

good job!😉

[@throesofthefall7722]

Number 5?

[@bc_usa]

ThroesOfTheFall... Number 1.5?

[@oBlackCoffee]

OH yeah

[@WORRO]

Nice!

[@antoniobotello4996]

"I like to call it kiss my butt pack." what was originally you where going to call it,"Dirt Bag."......lol.😄 And I enjoyed watching your reviews and I look forward for more reviews.....keep up the good work🇺🇸

[@johnnywhatevah5201]

I've been saving up for the Dragon Egg, now you have just confused me!

[@CyprusTM]

go with the Dragon Egg, you wont regret it :D

I'm digging the hulk Hogan style moustache 😉 🇺🇸

[@greghomestead8366]

ok I got to ask Don....... How many bags do you have? I'll bet the Mrs rolls her eyes when another bag comes through the door. unless you hide them. shhhhh Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan

Great Company & Not that BullShit BlackHawk gear. Polish company making gear for guys on the Front Line...I'm Sold.

[@CyprusTM]

Their products are outsorced to China. They only have a few mag pouches and i believe the plate carrier made in Poland. The parent company used to be Helikon Tex (they make awesome products, but made in China and Vietnam)

[@jayboston9620]

Ciprian M Interesting...Pretty much what I bought...tags made in Poland...Good looking out on the rest of there gear.
