Really appreciate you showing footage of actually wearing and moving with the bag out and about 🙏. It makes a big difference, I wish more gear reviewers and product demonstration videos would do the same

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Glad it was helpful!... And I agree. Certainly not bashing anybody else but it does seem to make sense

[@PoeInTheDitch]

Couldn't resist the Desert Night Camo, I see. Ha

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Ha ha ha... Yes. I'm like a camo magpie. DNC or MC Tropic all day everyday 😂

[@youwebz]

@@MoorlanderEDC 💯 all day everyday

@MoorlanderEDC did the javelot mini giveaway Already happen?

[@sassyboofle6983]

As a person who carries a bag with the kitchen sink in it , you never know if you need .. well you don’t know do you ….. this looks like an extremely worthy bag . 👍

[@maximusprime8585]

Thank you so much for this very helpful and informative video. I ordered mine in coyote. I’m too excited!!!

[@norhizam]

Wow, what a cool review! I totally see how this could work for my iPad mini as my techie bag. This bag is like super versatile, can use it for so many things.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Thanks for watching!

[@exAirMover]

I do like the Desert Night Camo 😊

[@exAirMover]

I am wanting one of these Claymore Bags in my life .... not sure what I'm gonna use it for yet, but i want one in my life 😊

[@Hi_Im_Dominik]

I saw the brown. Looks so well

[@anangryranger]

I must say that I'm greatly relieved to know that this piece of gear, has passed muster with Tatical Teddy Bear!😌 That in itself, has put my mind at ease.😜 And we all know that the word of the "T-Bear", being the final authority on all things, is beyond question.🐶 But seriously, that's a great bag! We never had such things in my years in Vietnam. Everybody just carried Claymores in their ruck along with the gear to deploy 'em. But I really see why you love this particular model. It's quite a piece of gear!👍 And if they have one in the old tiger stripe, I'm going to snag one.😀

[@pj4433]

Mine arrived a few days ago love it with one thing, looks a lot smaller in real life than it appeared in the video was quite shocked at first. Personally would like it slightly larger but for now it’s big enough for the role I wanted it

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi PJ, yes, I think you're right and they could have gone a wee bit bigger. I think the original Claymore bags were roughly this size, plus the have the Bushcraft satchel and haversack too so if it was any bigger they'd have competing lines

[@mofi3641]

thx :)

[@maximusprime8585]

I've got mine in coyote..... this is the way

[@youwebz]

Where from please?

[@WwarpfirewW]

Thanks for a review, you just do some stuff I can not find reviews on, immediately bought this one 😂 hope they would do that gray melange pattern to, black for now so it better suits city environment as well 👍👍

[@youwebz]

Where did you buy from?

[@WwarpfirewW]

@@youwebz In local store, Im from Czechia tho... close to Poland so most of new products gets here pretty quickly

[@davidhudson7590]

Looking a bag like this for walking dogs,to put ball bags treats n bottle of water etc ideal size too looked at bushcraft satchel but to big for my needs

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Sounds like this is perfect. Keep the dirty dog toys in the outside pockets and everything else clean in the main pocket

[@johnruiz11]

your bergen pack has to slots in front for knifes an stuff is there i tiny slot in front of the left one if the bag is facing twords you

[@JunkyardFox]

cool bag. damn, that environment is beautiful, where's thsi at?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I live in England is a small borough called Newcastle-under-Lyme. I'm from the Staffordshire Moorlands where I also film 🤙

[@johnlarson7746]

Can't seem to find this in the US yet, darn it... "patience, Grasshopper..."

[@TheJohnmael]

Do you think that it can go for 14 inches laptop and A4 notepad and a 10inches tablet? I see already question about it maybe do a follow-up video on the "office" abilities of the bab

[@lakota_stu]

DNC is 🔥

[@EXTRAEDC]

On the helikon tex website you can see the old version of the bag .. it didnt had the inside zipper pocket but velcro instead .. i like the zipperpocket more :)

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Ha ha ha.. I'll check it out. They need to update that don't they :D

[@EXTRAEDC]

@@MoorlanderEDC I still cant decide which color i want XD .. stuck between adaptive green, shadow grey, Coyote and DNC XD .. UPDATE.. i chose Earth Brown XD .. best for the Office .

[@MrChrisdavidjones]

Great video mate, what's the Internal size of the main pouch please? Would like to see if it will fit my laptop. Cheers

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hiya Chris. The diagonal measurement is about 13". If your laptop is bigger than that it's not going to fit I'm afraid... this is perfect for smaller laptops, Ereaders or tablets. Not sure if that's good new or not, however I hope it helps

[@Camp101]

Hello! Thank you for the nice video. Do you think it is possible to carry a 13' Macbook Pro and a Stoeger STR9-MC (a Micro Compact gun) at the same time in the main (middle) compartment of this bag? Thanks...

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I've quickly Googled your dimensions and they should definitely fit

In a previous life... Maybe. He's now Tactical Teddy Bear 😂

[@robinlennon4752]

I always have an eye on Helikon-Tex bags as potentially adaptable as a mirrorless camera bag due to the pockets and compartments. I think this one could work well.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Agreed. The front pockets would be perfect for a mirror less camera body. If you have a padded slip for the camera to sit in to extra protection that would be killer

[@robinlennon4752]

@@MoorlanderEDC Hard to tell from videos or their website but from your experience which of the Adaptive Green and Olive Green is the darker colour in real life. Thanks.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

@@robinlennon4752 The OD green is the darker of the greens for sure. It's more green too, whereas the adaptive green is more like a ranger green (with more brown hints in there). Personally I prefer the Adaptive green. I've got several items in that colour and it seems to go with other colours better

[@robinlennon4752]

@@MoorlanderEDC Thanks for the feedback 👍, the pattern in the one in the video is interesting but I think if it is greener like you I'd opt for the Adaptive. Keep up the great and helpful videos.

[@lakota_stu]

Can you fit a jetboil in the front? Could be a great brew kit/cooking pack

[@youwebz]

It looks like you could

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I'm 96.3% sure it'll fit. I have a titanium cup that a yet boil will fit inside. It'll fit in but not sure aboit closing. I'm pretty sure it will

[@connormclellan4657]

Any Idea when they would become available in the US? I am relatively new to the company and wasn't sure if there are some things that don't make it to the U.S.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Not sure. I'd recommended messaging Helikon. They're pretty good at messaging back 🤙

[@GavinWhyman]

Hi there fella, Would you be able to squeeze a laptop or iPad in that larger back pocket? Cheers 🍻

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Yeah definitely. But nothing too big. One of the smaller iPads or laptops

[@Owl566]

Your video footage has this colour pattern as quite green but your still photos have it as a flatter grey green colour - which would be a more accurate representation of the actual colour?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Definitely more as a green. I think I didn't colour balance between the video and still imagery in this video. Hope that helps 🤙

[@Owl566]

@@MoorlanderEDCit does, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@barnabyheal]

Hi, did you buy direct from Helikon? If so how quick was the delivery?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Yes buddy. I ordered it Monday morning here in Blighty and it arrived promptly Friday morning. Pretty fast really... But I'd hope so for the €21 price 😂

There mist be some sorr of conspiracy … every time i get an amazon giftcard .. there is a new heöikon tex product 😂… but is it big enough for the iPad air 4 🤔

[@Taisteluhamsteri]

I carried claymoores in very similar bags in military and those bags were very handy as "recce purse". I now have this Helikon version as my hunting, hiking and military hand pack. It is very handy co's you can fit 3 AK or AR mags, smoke grandes and lots of other studf, but unfortunately it does not hold 308 mags

[@stevejackson9952]

If you've never had the chance to play with military grade hardware I truly feel sorry for you. When I was in the infantry we repurposed all kinds of stuff. Body bags for bivy bags, TOW missile tube covers for ashtrays .All kinds of weird shit !

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Well... I made a smart phone amplifier with a Pringles tube. That's pretty cool 😂 I'm definitely envious buddy 🤜🤛

[@youwebz]

On a seperate note - have you found your Salamons wore the soles out very quickly?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Not at all buddy. I've had these since 2012 and I'm only now look g to replace them. These are the original X Ultras. Not sure if they've changed the formula since then though

[@youwebz]

@@MoorlanderEDCah ok. Thanks for the reply. Mine seem to wear out fairly quick. Maybe it’s pavements or heat (I’m in Aus) but they seem to wear quick.

[@lastspud7030]

DNC didnt work at all ... and going to the range in the UK is a thing.... however it looks like it would make a good bail out bag. And of course if you need a bail out bag you can probably get a real Claymore bag... and get the unit taylor to make a few mods ... 24 hours thats plenty of time to formulate an opinion.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hey buddy. Going to the range is a thing here for sure. The fire arms community here is huge and growing. Pistols have to be heavily modified, however shotguns and rifles are perfectly legal with a licence. I think this is a great bag. I appreciate your point on getting a original. I thin there's quite a few mods needed and extra costs where as this bag is good to go straight out of the box. If you have them lying around at the unit Taylor is free though, it's great to up scale old kits. All the best buddy

[@aeromech8563]

Nice pack not my cup of tea but im sure its well made, as for a claymore being cool well there's nothing cool if you have ever seen a person hit by one! don't get me wrong im no lefty and have been shooting for 45+ years! I even left England due to the crap licence laws! wouldn't want you getting in strife! 😎

[@willtj8013]

hi guys have you seen the new downright stupid Thames valley police zero tolerance scheme no matter if non locking and under 3 inches u will still be arrested and charged this makes me wonder where trades people stand as this would render "good reason" inapplicable. and where the law now stands and whether it is simply too dangerous to carry a knife as a tool now

[@MoorlanderEDC]

That's horrible. Zero tolerance should be 'caught with a machete than you're in jail for life'... not 'caught with a swiss army knife and you're prosecuted to the same degree that you're carrying a machete'. The Police have a hard job and I appreciate that, however the people at the top aren't addressing real knife crime. All they're doing is criminalising people who follow the law to the line. I'm sure they have a reason for doing this but it's wrong and unlawful, plus not helping the reputation and public trust in them. If I was a carpet layer and they found a Stanley knife in my pocket on a random search, I'd let them arrest me. Then when my free legal team turned up I'd let them take over. Stopping law abiding citizens from carrying tools of their trade is unlawful. If I was walking to cricket this evening with my gear down the street, I could do more damage on a drug fuelled rampage in 10 minutes with a cricket bat, and I could do with a Stanley knife
