[@daleadmire1451]

You speak such good English, I always respect Europeans for learning different languages ,In the us we have people from mexico that live here for 30 years and never learn English. good for you !!

[@crimsonarcher213]

I thought she was English

[@FirelordRob76]

this is the coolest backpack i've ever seen, thanks for showing me my birthday present. your videos have gotten consistently more entertaining over these last few months.

[@tominmo8865]

Love your vids. You are a great role model for women. Praying that you stay safe, with all the troubles over there in Europe. Your resourcefulness gives you much better chances than the average person, for sure.

[@MonikaStrub]

Der Rucksack macht echt was her. Bis bald. Ich habe auch mittlerweile so einen er ist mir ans Herz gewachsen. die Dinger finde ich klasse. Herzliche Grüße. :)

[@docink6175]

before my cataract surgery and lens replacement I needed my glasses to find my glasses. I literally got lost on the beach after losing my glasses in the water, I passed by my wife THREE times, she thought I was just looking around! Anyway I ALWAYS carried at least one spare set in each car and work truck as well as my everyday glasses and sunglasses... another great video, keep them coming....

[@gandamack1900]

I like watching(and have watched) these diff BOB/GHB/INCH/GOOD bag) vids...I dont remember ever watching a single one of them that i didnt get an idea or two from it...I didn't always go with that idea but I was glad I saw it..there are so many different situations and each one has to be altered to allow for individual skill sets,area/terrain and weather... We set a goal of,from a standing start,out the door,fully dressed and equipped to stand alone,fight,hide or run,unassisted,for 12-14 days.... Each family member has an equipment stand by the door,the woods clothes we plan on wearing(NEVER NEVER plan on wearing jeans or denim)((We use OD BDU's..avoid cammo)), a full set of Under Armour shorts and T Shirt,and boots and socks with the pack and gun/ammo load out in silicone storage sleeves right with the other gear... we work on being able to walk up to the stand,shed all usual clothes,dress,equip and get out...pretty much a standard BOB with food and extra equipment... We picked 12-14 days because,at the start,we issued a full 12 meal case of MRE's to each person....as things evolved,we replaced the MRE's with lighter food stuffs... We can pretty much leave the house and go to ground most anywhere and not have to move around/be visible for a couple of weeks and let the situation thing settle down/evolve... n winter we put out long johns and the Gore-Tex outer wear with the BDU's..in summer the LJ's go in the pack and the rain suit is in a cover on the outside of the pack,like a normal backpacker rigout Our standing start/out the door goal(time) is 15 minutes....drop trou,re-dress and equip and haul butt...best Ive done with 2 teenagers in what they know is a drill is 22 minutes...if we do it enough I figure if it goes real,they will have the basics down and we will hit close to that 15 minute mark.. Ammo is the big weight/qnty variable...we settled on 300 rds rifle,100 pistol and for the scatter gunners,200 buck and 25 slug and 75 hunting shot shells...Not enough for many firefights,but plenty for one firefight or a doz or so encounters.... NOTE: A "Water Filter" is not a "Water Purifier"... The difference is a labeling issue covered by Federal Law...you can not say a "filter" is a "purifier"..lots of "sales people" dont know the difference...dont let one of them lead you down a primrose path....No FILTER is small enough to filter out a virus...just not gonna happen...so if a unit does not deactivate a virus,it CANNOT be labeled a "purifier"...Just FYI Good luck...Watch Out For Stobor

[@BarryDutton]

I searched for MONTHS and researched bags and bags and bags and eventually feature wise I went with the 5.11 large RUSH 72 for several reasons -- one of which was their TIER system -- you can clip their other packs onto this one with the TIER straps - so I bought the other 2 smaller bags. Now I have piggyback bags when I need to carry a lot, or smaller bags that also stand alone. I was hit by a car 2 mths ago and still cannot walk etc. That pack never had a scratch on it LOL. I looked at your DA packs also. Honestly, I think I looked at EVERY pack on the planet almost haha! Have a good weekend Lily

[@siddjones1035]

I like this bag the most out of all your bags. Seems the most durable. Another awesome video!

[@gadgetstalker2]

I liked the nice design of the zipper for the bottle holder on both sides. nicely done.

[@charlesloveday9208]

Bad auto-correct!! Glad to see Dax with U all the time- he's a great friend & partner n Ur journeys. Again- excellent review!

[@aubreystanley1124]

Black scout survival is my favorite go to channel for surviving in urban environments.

[@WassiaEichhoernchen]

Genau so einen Rucksack suche ich schon ne ganze Weile, konnte mich nie so recht für einen entscheiden. Ja, und jetzt ist er bestellt. Bin gespannt^^ Beste Grüße nach Österreich W.E.

[@alh9338]

Very well produced video Lilly. Also, I always get a lol from you including a clip of your dog rolling around and having fun

[@tanonicoletti8856]

Can we all just agree that the 'running test' was the cutest montage thing ever

[@myfubarproject]

Expandable zipper "bottle" pocket is genius... thanks for the review, Lilly.

[@rustyshackelford4135]

I carry the Dust as EDC and use a Dragon Egg as a vehicle get home bag. Highly recommend both. I have no complaints.

[@simidhel]

A great review of an excellent looking rucksack Lilly and you've kitted it out really nicely. Loved the action shots in the running tests :)

[@jordan-it2xf]

great vid lilly nice bag its great to see all you guys coming together good job and puppy looks great as always cheers

[@SimbaOS]

This is probably the best EDC backpack I saw, ever. Thanks for the review.

[@Survial9999]

Lilly, Nice job. I love your Dog. He loves the outdoors.

[@pawkrafts4219]

Hello, I just want to say that I love yer videos, I am big on wilderness survival and many things that ye have put into yer videos have really been helpful to me, so thanks

[@matmin6221]

Really2 nice review about Dust.. Thanks Lily... 😃👍

[@reilozada1181]

Great video! You gave me some ideas to include in my bag. Aside from a tactical flashlight, I'd suggest you also have a headlamp so you can use both hands to do other things and extra batteries (for both headlamp and tac light).

[@sfasr32t432tfg43etfg]

Great pack! It's totally true about the dragon egg. I'm a big guy (around 300 lbs) and I couldn't tell the difference between the dust and the dragon egg as far as feel goes while wearing them and the dragon egg gives you a lot more carry options because it's about 25 % bigger and has a few more external attachments. I think this would be true even as far down as about 200 lbs, as long as the person did not have narrow shoulders for that weight. I've had mine for several months and it feels like a forever backpack; like I don't ever have to think about EDC or short hike backpacks again because I've got it handled with a product that will stand up to normal wear and tear for decades.

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I always enjoy your videos, and I love your dog. it is great to see you taking him everywhere with you.

[@NavigatingwithNafe]

Nice rucksack set up Lilly!! 👍👊 And great video, love your work & pointers.

[@spikethedog6901]

i love cracking a beer and watching these videos. i want to try camping sometime

[@trekslcg]

The bag is perfect I would. Only add a padded waist belt nothing huge but it just ads that much more comfort and stability.

[@semco72057]

That is a great rucksack which you can keep with you when in urban areas. I love the compartments it has and and you have the proper equipment stored in it too. I don't have one for urban usage, but two for rural usage when in the forest.

[@TheJasonb08]

Great review Lilly, I like the color and way you set up the bag

[@LeeWolfLittle]

I also carry a solar charger and a stainless bottle/cook set to heat/disinfect water if necessary. Great ruck, I've been looking for a new one, will add this one to my list. Then I'll narrow down to just one.

[@hawaiivolcanosquad3322]

I am going with a very small EDC pouch, not bag. Small minimalist EDC that I will carry everywhere, which I know I won't do with a backpack. Love the Glock rite in the rain notebook!

[@humpgearbackpacking828]

Hi Lilly ! Nice review! I discovered Direct Action some months ago, and found that their price/quality was excellent... Regarding the back pocket, did you notice that it allows the user to stow one of the shoulder straps : it allows the user to convert this pack into a comfortable "cross-chest" single strap bag (convenient when you want to be able to flip the pack from your back to your front, for easy access... Also convenient in the city when you want to "secure" your pack from pickpockets" lol. Good job! Keep going!!

[@tmaccaw]

As a result of Lilli's review I ordered the last one of this pack I could find immediately available on Amazon UK and since it came have been blown away by how well it's made and fitted out, as Lilli explained. And thanks also to Humpgear's comment I noticed today, I can now see how well designed the pack is also from the point of view of being able to stow away shoulder straps (into the top of the concealed back pocket) and belt straps (through a side slit into the bottom of the concealed back pocket). The result is a very tidy pack for the office as well which won't snag on things. So I'm eternally grateful to Lilli for drawing the pack to my attention. Like her comment, I instinctively felt after I'd used it for a day that it's probably going to be my EDC 'for the rest of my life!"

[@MylesNicholas]

I use a 4B pencil to rub on my zips to lubricate them. It is so simple to use, because zips stick every now and then. Silicone lube gathers dust so graphite is dry and excellent.

[@AetiusPraetorian]

Great looking pack. The trash bag is one of the best things to put in an EDC that many people overlook. The shemahg is also a good add on. I always carry at least 2 standard TB and one contractor trash bag in the bottom of my day pack. Have used the std TB and the shemahg many times to sit on wet stumps, logs or even the ground covered in snow. The contractor TB can be used as a small tarp shelter if needed. I am going to check out that pack of yours as my day pack is getting pretty worn out.Great review Lilly!

[@oPROXYo]

you actually did the running test!! very important!! awesome!

[@rc2300s2r]

The quick release on the shoulder straps worries me a bit. Nothing some cordage couldn't fix in the field though. Thanks for sharing.

[@earthbrown8]

hand disinfectant can also be used as a fire starter aid too

[@Naturensoehne]

Hallo Lilly, sehr schön durchdachter Rucksackinhalt. Haben wieder einige Impulse mitgenommen, danke dafür :) eng: Hi Lilly, very nice organized rucksack. This presentation of yours give use some nice ideas, thank you for that! Beste Grüße or best regards, Andy und Gerrit

[@ColTravis]

The one thing that I don't like about the modern rucksack is all of the plastic. I've had plastic D-rings and fasteners fail in the most unadvantagous times. I think you could probably replace the D-rings with some steel ones and this would be a realy good addition to this rucksack.

[@northernselfreliance6943]

Awesome bag Lilly. A quick suggestion for your urban EDC bag. Under the flag patch you should put a handcuff key under the patch. It stays concealed and you have it if ever needed. Awesome video as always! Keep them coming :) - cheers

[@SurvivalLilly]

+NorthernSelfReliance cool idea

[@sigurdbjohansson]

I have the Dragon Egg by Direct Action, Dust's bigger brother, and these backpacks are gold! Yay.

[@jerrycoon4504]

Cool pack. I especially like the handle made with para cord. That's a great idea. One less thing to pack and it functions as a handle.

[@sfasr32t432tfg43etfg]

+Jerry Coon I wouldn't use the handle as para cord unless I was in seriously dire need. The way they weaved it to make it such an awesome handle is beyond my ability to recreate right now (not to say I wouldn't try if I needed to, I love the handle)

[@jerrycoon4504]

+blarg I think the idea there was that if you needed cordage you could unravel the handle... pretty cool idea.

[@ellietrainor8429]

+blarg You could find instructions to re-create the handle online- they are so easy to follow, children can make them so don't worry about unravelling it.

[@michaelsantana5781]

I've had this pack for a year. I decide to take the chance and cut the cord.. was surprised to reveal fuzzy nylon coming out of the shell.. haha not real 550 cord I have since bought paracord and re-weaved the handle.

[@goldleader3028]

I like the more subtle MOLLE webbing, and the expandable side pouches are pretty slick. Has this bag replaced your Maxped Pygmy Falcon, Lilly? I love mine...

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Good job on the overview, especially with the "running test" at the end. Waist straps (not to be confused with weight-bearing hip belts) play an important role in stabilizing day packs when you have to be on the move (whether running, climbing or skiing, etc.), especially when loaded out. Looks like a well-designed pack.

[@leighmonty13]

Just started watching your channel yesterday great stuff

[@deefarquhar]

You rock! Love your channel, Ive learned alot about bushcraft from you. I cant wait for Spring so that I can hang my hammock in the Canadian wilderness and practice the skills that YOU have me taught me Lilly. BTW, were you pretending to fight somebody or just testing yout backpack's stability? Lol

[@earthbrown8]

I commented on one of your videos when you were cooking weeks ago and one of your fans totally harshed on me, I guess in their intent to defend you. You are an interesting person and I meant no ill will or bad intent in my comment that I was chastised for. You have a nice life it seems, you are a careful and thoughtful person it seems. I enjoy the videos you share. Be well and you show an example of how to live ones life well and do what makes them happy. Kudos. Be well. Ill watch your videos, I just will refrain from making comments that seem ontowards or odd as I wont comment anymore. Thanks for sharing glimpses of how you live.

[@AdirondackBadger]

Thanks fir the video Lilly. never heard of these packs before but it sure looks like a great bag.

[@Mr-yl1px]

very nice Lilly. Thankyou for sharing. packs with that "Laser Cut" molly webbing have been catching my for a little while, I used to think it was a cheesy spec op gimmick but I get the rational side of the flat lay and slight obscure nature of it that doesn't scream "tactical". I don't normally stray away from 5.11 and J-tech, High Speed Gear or Maxpedition but that Dust and Dragon Egg are really interesting packs. So thankyou for giving an overview of it. I was really interested in seeing more than pictures and not a lot of reliable videos on it besides this one. So again, thanks, and as always, great video.

[@Reptilven]

I love your videos, very instructive and useful. waiting for more.

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

good looking bag. i have never heard of direct action. thanks for pointing them out. the leatherman is great, i always carry one. but get you some wirecutters capable of cutting thru chain link easily. if vienna is like any large city in the u.s. there are plenty of fences.

[@flp308bc]

Lilly- see what you think about strapping a lightweight Fiskars 7550 hachet to the side of your pack. Unbelievable cutting power in a light weight package. Made of the best steel I have found-will easily dry shave. I keep one strapped to the right side of my pack where I can reach the lock and deploy it in a flash. Medicine for both 2 legged & 4 legged wolves.

[@djscorpio0966]

Sweet EDC!! Thanks for sharing Lilly!!!

[@shazzzam79]

Your pepper spray is put on the inside of your pack which is not immediately accessible... I would change its location to one of those side pockets by the waste straps. Good lookn' pack, and glad to see you're carrying a garbage bag now. Take care.

[@20DYNAMITE06]

On her get bag video I believe she has it on the shoulder strap... So it's something that can be moved as the situation calls for it. But good cal 👍

[@genej501]

another excellent video... nice bag...in every bag i have for several different survival situations i pack at least 3 44 gal. trash bags...keep up the high quality of your productions... looking forward to more on the vancouver is. trip

[@warumdenndas0000]

Nice Rucksack Lilli, schade das der Schnee schu weg is in da Steiermark, hätte gerne no a bissl Wintershelteraktion mit dir und Dax gesehen lg. Martin

[@tomm2812]

Lilly you look good wearing your Dust EDC. Excellent review. On my to buy list. Consider adding an unfilled water bladder and water purification tabs, titanium cup, spoon, small roll of paper and maybe some granola power bars. Best

[@BobUnWorthy]

Hi Lilly, I only found the Direct Action brand last year and have been impressed with their quality and price. Liked the review and rucksack.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Great review on the rucksack Lilly!

[@Lellobeetle]

The Laser cut MOLLE makes my brand new Vanquest bag with regular MOLLE look old!

[@taxlawsealsteuerberater7226]

But vanquest is outstanding quality! Not Even comparable!

[@georgejohnson1537]

Excellent review Lilly...Job well done from the outside to the inside you touched on all the features good explanation of the pack. And it even looks cool nice day pack I like it. Thanks for the video Have a good day C YA

[@MrFjackie13]

Very informative pack review. I really like the zippers on the water bottle pouches. Keep the great videos coming. Take care.

[@rbuenafe100]

Thanks for the pack review Lilly. I have been looking for one. Now my search is over and going to place an order through Amazon.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

cool carry system. i have a pretty small locker at work and would have to bend and fold a bag that size to get it to fit in there so i went with one of those open top rei flash 18's. definitely not as nice and durable as yours but i have similar contents. i need to step up my first aid kid though and add some sanitizer for sure. nice work as always

[@johnkishell4251]

What a dog! Good video lilly

[@Bluzgacz87]

I have a Direct Actions - Ghost. The biggest of this backpacks line with detachable front pouch. Also in Coyote. Its made by Helikon, a Polish company, witch im proud of ;) as a Pole ofcourse ;) Ive been in Scotlands Highlands, with tent, stove and other outdoor gear only with this backpack for 8 days. Great product. Only disadvantage - no rain cover. Need to buy separetly.

[@genesmith9786]

oh yeah black scout survival is a awesome channel. I purchase his e&e DVD great video. so much great information and skill teaching that can help u in a bad situation. I'm going to put a e&e kit in my bag and practice all the time good stuff. I'm going to teach my wife and kids so they can defend their selves. take care and God bless

[@RoccosGrimaldi]

Lilly, I like the backpack! I was just wondering, do you ever buy a duplicate of any of the gear that you use? I have found it to be frustrating when I purchase a particular item and when I eventually wear it out, I cannot find the exact replacement because they no longer make or sell that particular item. Because of this, I typically buy doubles of certain items. Your thoughts? /Dav

[@prospiderkiller]

Really cool pack. I've had my eyes on it for a while. Good to know its Lilly approved, thanks a lot

[@caveymoley]

That first hidden compartment...Perfect for a ballistic plate. To avoid being shot in the back while running away. Are you allowed body armour?

[@barontv450]

Only soft I think

[@caveymoley]

Baron TV great, thats the hardest to source, so wear the soft stuff and It shouldnt be too hard Id imagine to get hold of a large lump of steel ...

[@jimbeams5431]

Thanks for the Black Scout shout out. Great videos.

[@gwacdotca]

I have both the Dust and The Dragon Egg...amazing packs! Not sure how these guys aren't dominating the market on EDC gear!?

[@battle4dead]

Mike W the only thing stopping me from ditching my 5.11 Rush 12 for the Dragon Egg is that the waist belt isn't padded (it is on the 31Litre Ghost though, but I feel that's gonna be too big for my size)

[@FrederickReddie]

Love it! Awesome video as always!

[@VampirusX]

Sehr gutes Review, Lilly! Mein Dust in Pencott Greenzone kommt in zwei Tagen. Bin gespannt! Du solltest noch eine Powerbank in Dein EDC aufnehmen. 4000-6000mAh sollten reichen. Wiegt nicht viel und kann Dir eventuell Frust ersparen ;-)

[@duncanferguson5659]

I like the paracord handle - this is another excellent video - many thanks

[@Naturliebe]

Nice rucksack and great review, Lilly. Thanks for sharing. atb

[@SurvivalLilly]

[@albertobuonarroticastillo9638]

+Survival Lilly WHRERE CAN I BUY THAT RUCKSACK PLEASE ????? IM FROM MEXICO NICE VIDEOS :)

[@stribor695]

I like the video very much, especially the charger (actually I thought at first that the charger works on the crank (mechanical energy) principle , I thought it would be better off like that, or solar charger..Backpack is awesome! No headlamp? Have a nice weekend Lilly. ;)

[@nickgrossmeyer5468]

As always a great video, great bag as well. great ideas about the paracord.

[@glockensig]

My kids have Direct Action Dragonegg bags for their "get home" bags!

[@PerthPete1]

Have you considered including some sort of solar power battery charging pack?

You are great, Lilly; love your videos. Now I want to buy a rucksack.

I owned exactly this model of backpack in Kryptek Mandrake. Great pack. Now I switch it into something else. I prefer bags.
