does it fit a 25 ounce pathfinder cup on either side?

[@decerowit77]

Agreed.

Boy, could not have said it better!

Yea I’ll probably put spare diapers in one side, wipes in the other. Maybe some muesli bars and charge around the park.

Cpl.... I don't think my wife wants me to watch your KZbin videos anymore I keep buying shit but I'm loving it! Keep it up!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

If you weren't spending it she would be. May as well spend it on something viable and legit

[@peggynulsen1365]

I got this pack and as an older female with back issues I can tell you it made a huge difference in my comfort out on a day hike. Enough room for the essentials, weight distribution that keeps my back happy and the durability I require in all my gear. I highly recommend this to anyone with low back problems.

[@johnnybushman651]

Nice pack Cpl. Kelly, I got the old school LBE set up been using it for a long , long time . Hasn’t failed me yet , good stuff. Have a good day marine !

[@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!

[@maukamarine939]

You have perfected your KZbin videos so much in the last couple of years! A true professional and a pleasure to watch. Semper Fi

[@medleymichaeld]

Watching this with a temp of a 103. The rain in your intro made me shiver so bad I dropped my phone in the toilet.

[@AFamilyOutdoors]

Love the straight forward approach to these reviews. Save the fluff for the entertainment wanna be bushcrafters! This pack looks amazing, a very functional pack that can carry what you need! Price tag is about average . Thank you for taking the time to deliver us another good clean video. 👍 Cheers from Canada Shawn

[@MrScarySauce]

I've been looking for something like your Y harness ever since I saw it in your video. This is outstanding

[@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.

[@lexwaldez]

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.

[@hadmatter9240]

Thanks for this review. I saw this on the Helikon website and thought it would be a great piece of gear. It looks smaller than I thought it would be, but it'll hold everything very nicely, as you just proved.

[@michaelmoser7892]

This is not reflected upon this particular video. I think your channel is outstanding informative and knowledgeable. I am 55 years of age and I took all this Bushcraft back when I was a young man in Boy Scouts and have forgotten like everything. Your channel is quick fast and in a hurry meat and potatoes baby easy to understand and remember those lost skills from days gone past. You of gained a faceful subscriber keep up the great work. 😉👍👌✊👊

[@gregoryharris6834]

This setup looks comparable to the Maxpedition DevilDog, which has been discontinued for many years now. Glad someone is making something comparable! This system looks great. Great review, as always.

[@subdawg1331]

I loved your older videos reviews I could trust

[@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.

[@jonathanflowers6353]

Outstanding video! Something like this is exactly what I been looking for to take with me on short ventures or day trips. Keep up the great videos !

[@saucemaster2]

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

[@dugldo]

Bought one on your Amazon link before the video was done. Can't wait to try it out.

[@oldgoat8861]

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.

[@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.

[@os2soliz]

Excellent Dr Who ref. As a Nerd or Geek, I can enjoy the outdoors too.

[@amyc4880]

Amazing video corporal will be buying one

[@AZMarine513]

Looks like a very practical set up that can easily allow a light daypack to be worn with it to expand your capabilities.

[@robw3027]

Cpl. thanks for the review. I'll take the old school military setup any day, everyday. This setup is modern cute, but man if you were carrying mags, bayonet, pistol, etc. it ain't going to cut if.

[@larryhornerjr]

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.

[@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.

[@prospero6337]

Holy Foxtrot ! ...so capable ....love the straps on the bottom and the big double side pockets.... I thought you were going to pull a can of ‘Chili Mac’ out for sure.

[@01cthompson]

Great review. The lack of a shoulder harness is the downfall of most waist packs. This one looks great. I like the fact that you can add your own small pouches to the molle to expand capacity. Also, for folks wondering about the benefit of these types of packs they do not retain heat next to your back o hot days like a backpack does.

[@Sparkfly88]

I absolutely love this little system and the price is absolutely perfect for it I was expecting something out of this world

[@EverettVinzant]

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.

[@AdirondackAmerican]

When I see a thumbnail saying I NEED something I don’t click.... it’s click bait. But when corporal Kelly says it.... I’ll check it out. You’re the real deal man.

[@AdirondackAmerican]

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 😃

[@scallari101]

Bought one a few months ago it is awesome you can fit a ton of stuff in it. You can actually fit at least a 5 x 7 tarp to the bottom. I think mine is 8 x 10

[@cdawson198600]

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

[@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.

[@MarkMcCartney]

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

Semper Fi Corporal of Marines, Outstanding review of "Must have gear" thanks for sharing. USMC "TIP OF THE SPEAR"!

[@janetstarr9554]

Love your simplicity for essentials. I recently got the MountainSmith Tour Lumbar Pack. I have a hard time with our day hikes to carry smaller shoulder packs so I am hopeful the lumbar style will be my fit! The MSTLP looks to be similar in size and quality as this one in your video. Only thing I would say is that it could use molly webbing on the empty side of this hip belt. I enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@davem4193]

I ran into the same issue as you, I have back and shoulder issues so regular backpack style hydration packs bother me on long day hikes. I went with a Wingnutgear lumbar hydration pack a couple years ago and it has been awesome. I've done 20 mile day hikes with it with no issues. If it wears out I will buy another one just like it.

[@janetstarr9554]

@@davem4193 Cool! I'll have to look that one up! I'm good with the double bottle holders as hydration packs are not my go to anyways. I tried several small packs and finally realized the issue. As we hiked Yosemite NP this summer and there I was carrying my full size pack all synched in for day hikes. LOL.

[@davem4193]

@@janetstarr9554 yep I used to do that too! I think they make small lumbar packs too with just the bottle holders. What I like is they are very lightweight. Mine weighs less than a pound empty and it's a full 3 liter hydration pack.

G'day Corporal. Here in Australia's east coast , grassy head , nsw. Got first eyes on your excellent channel last week. Well done. I've lived on the land all my life and get a real kick out of your practical bush exercises. Truly ' outstanding '. I'm a remote area fire fighter and I'm picking up some great tips from you 🤙🔥and will be passing that on to my team . Also a father of four and farmer. Congratulations again on your fine channel. Tell us about some awesome boots at some stage (if you haven't already )

[@Invisible_Socks]

great comment from where the term "Bushcraft" originated. Gday

[@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!

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

I miss hearing Mourning Doves. Thank you for that piece of home.

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.

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 !!!"

[@seanbrondstetter2987]

Looks like a decent get home bag. Small, lightweight, "concealable", yet will still carry the basics for survival

Great pack! Looks durable and comfortable! Great choice for day hiking! Thank you for sharing a part of your day and, your recommendations with us!

[@bigmatt1446]

I've been using mine for a few weeks now...I'm loving it. I attach my USGI poncho on the bottom like you and have woven a cotton schmauge into the top bungee. A pathfinder cup can be fitted into the side pocket as well..its tight but it will go..

Your reference to the Tardis is good to go!

Have to admit while I was watching yet another fine product from Helikon- Tex I had to fire up a second tablet to look up their catalog while watching this demo...thank again corperal.. nice stuff,can't wait to get me some !!!

[@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.

I finally got my hands on one! It’s my new day kit and and I’m very happy with it. Thanks CC.

[@philipcolwell2522]

You could always attach a frame to it then use it as a backpack. I tied on a tarp, wool blanket with extra camp tools and a book wrapped up. It did very well.

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

[@danrundell3615]

Good design and functional but I'd have to leave it home bowhunting due to the velcro closure. Keep the videos coming... very informative and you do a great job putting them together ... just built the pocket fishing kit and it works perfectly 👍

[@juliadowney-ragheb5349]

Dan Rundell I picked up some Velcro sheets and cut them to size to put between the Velcro on my bags so I can still be stealthy and I can just take the Velcro off the Velcro whenever it’s not necessary lol does that make sense 😀 incidentally I had a cat named Velcro for 18 years 😂

@AZ Desert Prepper yeah the Elk up here in Washington hear pretty well too

[@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.

[@gamingguru2k6]

I was thinking of making an emergency hiking pack/setup and using this as part of it.

[@kurtthecat3995]

Nice overview video. Looks like the perfect pack for day hiking and a good price. Unfortunately the velcro on the front pocket would drive me nuts. For one notch up in features and capacity, I would also suggest the Mountainsmith Tour pack.

[@mikelaughlin4470]

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

[@ironbomb6753]

I like this rig. It would be good for me to carry while rebuilding my strength instead of hauling a 50lb back pack starting out again. 💪🙂 Thanks Corporal 🇺🇸👍

[@dugldo]

Got mine in the mail directly from Polland. Packed up and ready for a day hike this weekend. I was disappointed it didnt come with the helicon tex patch, other than that it seems "outstanding"

[@recall5811]

sold separately. Thanks for watching

[@TheWordtraveler]

Been watching Helikon Tex for years! Think you sold me on this one! Lol Outstanding vid brother!

[@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?

[@nikkufrail1484]

Could it be treated with linseed oil for waterproof? How much$?

[@davidtarwater3526]

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your time. I love your "how to" videos and your gear reviews. Please keep them coming. For the price, this isn't a bad piece of equipment, definitely budget friendly, but in my honest opinion, I think the old school web gear, is the way to go. It is more expensive, but in the long run, well worth it. You'd have to rip mine off my cold dead body lol.

[@mrwes100]

David Tarwater I put together a LC-2 with a butt pack and two canteens. Also added the condor padded belt. Very comfortable to wear. Great for day hikes. I think CC did an older video on this setup.

[@jackgorden4692]

Thank you for a nother awesome viedo keep up the awesome job

[@tantoBass]

I was just looking at this item two days ago on your Amazon page. Great review.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

I think that might actually fill a gap in a kit where my SRO Adventure Trail Pro bag didn't quite work as I wanted. 🤔👍

[@cgriggsiv]

That really is a somewhat of a military grade hip belt bag Not bad at all I could see using this on a couple small day hikes

[@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.

[@LynnJynh9315]

I've 200 miles on this pack. The Mk 3 needs big improvements: -Longer bedroll straps (can't fit my Swagman!!!). -Better shoulder padding. -Larger Buttpack. -More molle on shoulders and belt.

[@jamestheeggplant5446]

What about a battle belt with straps?

[@LynnJynh9315]

@@jamestheeggplant5446 The belt on this isn't detachable.

[@JDK45ACP]

Might try it out. Thank you, Brother.

[@andrewdeadder9905]

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.

[@shawngauthier3929]

I know you dont answer everything, but me and my son watch you all the time. I was wondering if you were hit with a war torn, survival in the woods scenario, what military pack would you choose?

[@recall5811]

War Torn, ALICE pack

[@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.

[@juliadowney-ragheb5349]

This seems like it’d be a lot more comfortable for anyone with back problems..I struggle with my pack..it gets a little heavier every time I see one of your reviews lol😉

[@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.

Brings to mind the old canvas Marine butt-pack. Thanks, Corporal: another add-on to my wish list! God bless!
