The Best Method To Concealed Carry

1) Nutnfancy has been vindicated! Fanny pack FTW! 2) Trying to get your thumb INTO the orange loop to pull while not looking is the limiting factor. If you were to add a pull (like a small plastic ball) then your hands would find it faster and not have to go in the loop. Just a thought.

I actually own one and carry almost every day. When you prep the zippers, you really dont even need to pull. You can just push on the front of the pack and it unzips. Much more foolproof.

Good info, I think it's also a great platform to begin with. When I bike or walk I don't want anything weighing down my shorts. I usually carry a crossbody sling and/or backpack so I can bring my book, water, snack, basic first aid items, camera and light soft armor. So depending on your need for what your doing, your fanny pack can be very useful. The tourniquet attached is a good idea too.

I was in law enforcement for 35 years, 32 of which was plain clothes. In the 90’s, when we all dropped the suits, we started using fanny pack holsters in the summer. Fanny packs were in then, when fashions changed, you could always tell who the cops were by the fanny packs. Same as with the Banana Republic vests. I now use a backpack with a concealed carry compartment and can also have my carbine with me, although it’s awkward carrying a backpack everywhere. I just found my old fanny packs and you know, for certain situations (wearing shorts) it’s a great option! Thanks for this, BTW checked out Hill people. Bottom line, CC is a pain in the ass, but I’d rather have it and not need it, than not have it and need it! 🙏💪👍

That may be true where you live, but in cities like LA, Miami, or anywhere where fashion is a big deal including most tourist traps on earth, fanny packs are extremely common.

this is how I carry, too, with a different bag, but same concept. Good low viz carry for public events. The other option I found for EDC when we are in must wear shorts weather... is one of the elastic belly wrap holsters. Trouble is that causes you to sweat alot. I think this fanny pack or small over the shoulder sling bag is the way to go. Sure it costs a couple seconds, but this way you for sure will carry every summer day, since your wallet, knife, gun, tourniquet etc are all in one same bag, every day.

[@Mailman316]

Very high speed brother! I love this idea because I’m in running shorts a lot myself.

[@fleatactical7390]

Another similar option is a small cross-chest "messenger" style tactical bag. Lots of non-CCL folks are using them, especially in urban settings, so they blend in fine and can offer people different placement options and essentially become a chest rig. Plus you can keep them in that position for driving. A few companies are making ones specifically with a dedicated holster pocket (including the trigger guard or a similar system).

I use a similar set up for running, hiking and hunting, but it is a chest kit bag. ONE MODIFICATION SUGGESTION I would highly recommend to you is a LARGE pull tab attached to a small paracord loop sewn into the corner of the front cover. So instead of trying to use fine motor skills to loop your thumb through the zipper pulls, there is a large webbing tab to grab at the corner that guarantees a swift, solid pull every time. You would set up your zippers the same way, leaving a little opening at the corner. Thank you for your service. God bless you and yours.

Many years ago, I had a fanny pack where the concealed compartment was attached by Velcro. That way, all you had to do was grab the front part of the bag and pull it down to get access to the firearm. You could probably speed up your draw and eliminate the time that it takes to grab your orange loops, by adding Velcro on the inside of that back pouch and eliminating the zipper pulls. My bag also had a "rain flap" that covered the opening so you couldn't tell that there was another compartment back there. You could add something like that to cover up the zipper, or even remove it, if you added the Velcro. Also, I absolutely love Hill People Gear's gear. I use one of their chest rigs all the time and keep my backup weapon in it.

Requires practice, but so does every other option.

You could try some heat shrink tubing around your pull loop 550. It would help keep the loops more ridgid and open for easier thumb access. Just an idea. Stay safe.

[@isaacc5327]

I also had the same concern. My fix was open fanny pack with the support hand, grasp weapon with the dominate hand, move support hand to chest, draw weapon and begin to drive the weapon toward the threat; last, the support hand moves to catch up. Orientating the Hellcat downward might also be a solution. Any thoughts about the need for two hands to access the weapon? One hand keeping the threat at bay could make single-handed weapon retrieval difficult from a fanny pack. I have considered purchasing a fanny pack/rue/cross-body bag or whatever the younger generation is calling them today. The acronym KISS ones to mind. Great thought and great video.

The belt to the pack actually stretches and is made of strong neophrene I believe, but is ultra comforatble. Pull the zipper and pack opens up to weapon fully secured by a small holster that actually tilts up so the weapon can be easily drawn. With the other packs and if carrying a stricker fired handgun I would never carry with one in the chamber, with with this pack the weapon trigger area is fully enclosed.Its not cheap but i bought two, a large one for my HK 45C and a smaller one for my G26, You might want to check this pack out, believe you will fall in love with it as I did

I dont have the discomfort of sitting on my gun while sitting in the car as well. My pack has a holster that covers the trigger and I can angle the muzzle down.

I got myself a 945 Industries conceal carry fanny pack and I love that thing

[@crossfitfortuna]

I am trying to decide between the 945 and the Hill People. The biggest issue for me is 945 is only available in black right now.

[@Magilla.Guerrilla]

@@crossfitfortuna yeah, I wish they had other color options too, I'm actually thinking about getting some camouflage paint and do like a foliage thing because I live out in the Eastern side of WA state. But what like I about the pack itself is that it comes with an extra back strap, and you can wear it like a chest rig, plus you can buy a cheap admin pouch to put on the sides of the lower back strap. If anything, it's good to have options, I got another cheap fanny pack.

[@crossfitfortuna]

@@Magilla.Guerrilla thank you for the input I appreciate it. I do not want it to look tactical so I will probably get the blue pack. Great idea you have there to modify yours. Hopefully it works out well.

[@Swamp-Fox]

You have convinced me to give the fanny pack a try for concealed carry.

[@Carnaln8ure]

Thanks for this specific video. I've been trying to figure out a good way to carry when I do my cardio out in the wild. I like your method. I think I might try this.

[@nightfury6836]

Sweet rig!! I love Hill People Gear stuff. I personally went with the small Vanquest fanny. In charcoal grey it's pretty low profile. Gen 3 Glock 27 with a stick mag thrown in for good measure. The hardest part for me has been working my vehicle seat belt with my fanny pack on. I feel that it takes some getting used to...

[@dwrutsgnt4225]

I wish I could do the fan pack but I have a crap bag on my left side those medical body modifications have a draw back, I wear my OWB alien gear holster at the 3o clock

[@dchanson55]

Good idea, even you don't wear running shorts. I'm no fan of concealed in or out of the waist band holsters. Why don't you carry your Glock? God Bless you and yours.

When my father used to carry 20 years ago Leonard goes to your belt loop is somebody tries grabbing the fanny pack you can pull the lantern retrieve it got to set up for what's comfortable for you

[@williammoore7482]

Great concept. I don’t carry, but I would like to make a suggestion on your cord pulls. I would be more comfortable pulling the cord with balls attached instead of loops. Just a suggestion and thank you for your service

[@dalefourroux6402]

Thank you for your service I enjoy all your comment amen. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥰

[@lowspeed_operator]

i love how 3-4 days after you made this video they sold out in every color.

[@martingoodwin56]

Been using that belt pouch for two years now. It is a good choice for edc items. I use their chest pack for hiking.

[@ogarzabello]

Sorry, but in my country, Mexico, a fanny pack is almost as obvious as open carry if you have the "the look", you know what I mean.

[@lexxb6386]

I love mine especially since they fixed the belt attachment points to the pouch. I added glow in the dark lanyard beads to the main compartment. Also always make sure you tuck the pulls on the rear into the rear compartment when you close the zipper.

[@johnsteuw8414]

You could speed this up considerably by replacing the orange cord with something more rigid that would stay in a loop formation. Off the cuff I’m thinking you could cut to length and feed a piece of clothes hanger through the center of the paracord and bend it to shape. That way you could work with the same shape every time and know what to expect. Absolutely love your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Bright colored zip ties

[@leewitte4700]

When I use a fanny pack method I have a red carabiner which is real easy to grab.

[@GTGibbs]

Good stuff Chad, thanks, stay fast and safe.

[@kw8757]

John from Active Self Protection would be having a heart attack at this carry method.

[@biblesnbarbells]

I used your set up in a Helikon waist pack. Works great. Thank you.

[@WhatTheIfYouSeeKay]

Good option IF and only if you practice with it. I truly believe you should have a sub 2 sec to an accurate first shot no matter how you carry. There are also some drawbacks to this method. One being it’s hard to do a surreptitious draw. Also, its very easily taken from you in a robbery. So keep that in mind… but having different carry options is always a good thing. Practice, Practice, Practice!

[@connorperrett9559]

My friend, every option is a good option if and only if you practice with it. Even someone open carrying in a belt holster is likely to fumble their draw in a life threatening situation if they don't practice it.

[@michaellavaughnrobinson]

You know Chadd is a SEAL right? Not shitting on you bro but random armchair advice is probably not needed at this level.

[@jasonmacneil2256]

No offense to Chadd, but back in the late 80's early 90's I used a fanny pack to carry my 9mm, BUT, I dont like this pack not having the holster inside the pack w/o the trigger guard! I DONT like the weapon floating around in the pack! Love you Brother.

[@jonnysigs]

I have one of these (snubby), instead of the orange pull tab method you have going you can also put a finger/thumb directly into the ccw compartment and rip it open. For me, easier for my fingers to find that opening vs threading them through the loops on the main compartment. Great content as always Chad

[@dropzoneJustin]

Am I the first person to bring up the phlster enigma? I can conceal a Glock 19 while wearing running shorts and a tank top. It completely divorces your holster/firearm from whatever pants/shorts you are wearing. It’s definitely worth checking out as another option.

[@fishsaysn0]

I can't live without my enigma. Most definetely the best option so far.
