Reviewing a backpack right in the middle of an urban protest while your girlfriend is worried about you, requires MASSIVE BALLS.

[@GatewayDefense]

🤣🤣 best comment

[@pebblefit1191]

Great video and greater comment 😂

[@jeffdur1330]

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at an edc video.

[@raptorscz]

I think allot of guntubers just carry stuff for the rest of us to take off of them when shtf

[@DaylinFarrow]

​@@raptorscz Your generation is trying to figure out what your gender is... I highly doubt anyone is worried about you next level antifa experts taking their shit.

[@spectrent]

I’d remove those stickers from the laptop if you really wanted to be unseen as a threat in dangerous situations. Part of my German “swat” training was also identifying threats and you’d might be as much undercover as you’d like, with obvious guncentric or military Esque stickers you will be the first target for vigilantes as you pose the biggest threat

[@toomanysecrets7121]

Be the Grayman

[@popeharrold4975]

The Gamut 2.0 is great kit! Had mine for two years now, best pack I've ever owned.

[@warrenmullett]

Nice bag and gear .. definitely wanna see more of the truck and how it’s set up !

[@user-dw4cv3xq5u]

Man your stuff is so well done. You deserve a million subs and millions of views. You have what it takes to compete with the rest of the guntubers and then some. Push harder I want to see you succeed!

[@tobygoodchild4539]

I keep watching the start to this video with the bug out situation really well made

[@Badger_Smacks]

Awesome video guys. I setup a Northface recon pack with some basic gear that I leave in my wife’s vehicle for her to stay prepared. Little over 100 dollars and low profile. Not a bad budget pack option

[@de_edc]

Honestly, great video. The beginning got me hooked!

[@gabrielletedara2662]

"The intro - awarness" is why i prep my EDC & RTG (Ready To Go) as i have now... I have 2 backpacks for 2 mostly different scenarios... Thanks for sharing...

[@DWShooting]

Jesus christ, it's Jason Bourne

[@Quadrille763]

Nope

[@ChopperFisher]

I absolutely loved that intro! Great job, my man 🍻

[@Ian..]

That was a great intro - I was just getting into it! I want to see what happens on the way home!

[@amandant]

I love the mini intro. Like preps mood

[@user-zv3wr5wx3o]

Love the idea of the roll one, I keep a dangler from velocity with a med sled from spiritus that has a Velcro flap which tucks into the pouch or can be used as a dangler🤙🏻

[@skywalkeruk84]

If the intro was that good, the review has got to be great. Super pumped. Great work! Subbed

[@beausmith717]

When I worked in the city, I always carried a bag. A couple things I would add to yours. A small monocular and Sillcock key. I also carried a small prybar, just in case I ever got stuck in an elevator.

[@mikel9567]

Prybar isn't going to help you much if you get stuck in an elevator, especially a newer one. Just saying

[@GrayMan.]

Great video introduction, got another write-up 👊🏽 Another Grayman backpacks: Mystery Ranch District 24, Vanquest Addax 25 and Alpha One Niner Whintely 20.

[@GatewayDefense]

I’ll check those out!

[@BleachXx09]

Yes I was soo excited to see this bag EDC the first EDC video was the reason that I subscribe.....now I can't wait for the truck EDC!!!!

[@GatewayDefense]

Awesome! The truck is nothing special. Just a normal work truck haha

[@BleachXx09]

@@GatewayDefense oh no it is special....... because I'm from Canada sadly we can't do a lot of the things your doing that's why I'm soo hooked on your EDC videos!

[@edmeraan2]

First time seeing your vid...great stuff, great communication, well made...subscribed

[@MicahsRants]

I run the same Vertx Garmut 2.0 blacked out. I also EDC a Shadow System MR920 Elite with a streamlight TLR7-A a Holosun EPS MRS green optic. To finish out my EDC Kore Essentials black belt is my Leatherman ARC. Great video brotha 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥

[@2bebetter]

Good morning, I am here for the bag review. I am subscribed because of the first 3 minutes. Well done. The camera panning for situational awareness while hurrying is a very good depiction of the way people see while panicking. First time I experienced an adrenaline dump it was a lot like that. Everything moved in a blur.

[@AJohnSmith]

Compartment ID tip: Switch or add colored 550, orange, green, yellow.

[@tobygoodchild4539]

Love the opening to this video

[@petervu9773]

great upload bro !

[@jerrys5764]

Loved the intro. I did apply some imagination but I got the point😅

[@monetd3]

Really well done.

[@Nine.slinger]

Love the into and wish it was longer, lol. Great video and review🤙🏻

[@Mr.ErikSnake]

Awesome video 💯👌🏼

[@jamesa4958]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@dogtownheroes]

Killer intro!

[@bigangel13]

Love the intro!!!!

[@dissonantelysium]

That intro was so well done holy sh*t! Awesome video, got a new subscriber 10/10!

[@parkertimberlake1141]

Just incase anybody was wondering about those coordinates… there to an ice cream shop called the daily scoop… 😂

[@static34622]

And the statue of liberty and the cow are on the roof of State Street Brats.

[@halloweendad0543]

Good cinematography

[@halloweendad0543]

Forgot to ask, what shoes are those? I’ve been looking for a pair similar to those

[@GatewayDefense]

Altra lone peak 7

[@murda2999]

Great intro!

[@TeslaSpain]

Very good ideas !

[@daggumduncan1018]

Great vid! New sub, looking forward to seeing your truck set up. Need some ideas.

[@user-zx6lc3lo3k]

Hey good sound editing to lend tension to the video. that was pretty good.

[@chubbawockee]

Great video! Subbed.

[@GatewayDefense]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Millertime96]

badass tacoma man, love a single cab!

[@stefanbeermann368]

Can you specify on the model of the backpack ? All the gamutmodels I find don’t have the elastic bottleholders on the outside

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Nice loadout brother, May I suggest checking out the Klarus HC3 head lamp, clips in to your cap peak or a supplied headband. lots of modes and features, including wave on and off. cheap too :)

[@Champions360]

@GatewayDefense 1st of all- great video and the beginning is awesome haha. @ 18:00 - what brand camo zippered bag is this?

[@bigdonmega]

Sweet video. Subbed

[@pittwm]

My wife would’ve said…”riot? What riot? Hey btw way what’s for dinner maybe pickup some chipotle on your way home? Please and thank you”

[@ChrisBThatOutDoorsGuy]

Very nice bag. Like how low profile it is and how easily separated you have your gear

[@dzrtraidz]

Biggest flex is driving a single cab stick Tacoma. What a chad move

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

First guy to "eat it" at Panera's is the guy with the Magpul, Apex, Spyderco stickers on his laptop. The un-greyman, LOL

[@bushwalker2673]

Love the video awesome production. Can you tell me what watch your wearing please? It looks great.

[@1SikTA]

I forgot I was watching a bag video

[@joshuatall8134]

Great video! Just wondering about the loaded out weight of your bag. Plus...how large are you? I am 6'5 and weigh 300lbs and this is a perfect fitting bag. The shoulder straps are long enough and comfortable. I am just hesitant to have so much redundancy in an EDC bag. I could see if work was quite a ways from home. But if you spend a majority of your time in a city center, then a mass casualty approach makes sense. Keep up the great work.

[@LAWLESSXX88]

This film quality was on point. That intro was perfect 👌. And of course your gamut and toys were bad ass as well

[@LAWLESSXX88]

I just stumbled across your channel and now I'm subbed

[@griff3637]

Gotta put the armor panel in the back pocket! Premier body armor makes panels that are specifically made for vertx bags

[@TheFraziers]

2:30 - Brennan doesn't skip cardio

[@GatewayDefense]

Except he does… 😂

[@themightylemor]

​@@GatewayDefense LOL! Serious video, but it's great to see you have a sense of humor about yourself. Some dudes take themselves WAY too seriously.

[@jonathansikora1762]

Good stuff! Which DAKA pouch were you thinking about for the first aid? I like that idea for organizing but I don’t think they’d fit inside the bags window pockets.

[@GatewayDefense]

Might not tbh. I’ll have to let you know. The small might.

[@thomasbrandon5111]

Nice kit

[@user-mm5hj5ig6x]

Is the bag waterproof or water resistant? Also have you thought about carrying a poncho just in case?

[@bluekarma4]

Now this is how you do a EDC bag review.

[@spacemonkey12981]

Where do you carry your NVGs and NBC gear?

[@fernandocabrera9727]

Nice video love it bro.I really enjoy hear at the intro the song of UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico)

[@elmachoedc8825]

Uso la porra de los pumas jajaja

[@fernandocabrera9727]

@@elmachoedc8825 en efecto

[@kierbarnett]

awesome video dude! I like your outfit, could you list what you're wearing please? 🙂

[@jamescrews3516]

Baby yoda looks great! 😅

[@shawnspeigner2835]

My question is what is a normal day like where you take a bag full of stuff? I never see anyone in an edc video talking about that side of things

[@user-mh9td8dr6y]

Should make the zipper pull for the med bag red or throw something to identify the zipper pull easier for high stress situation

[@GatewayDefense]

Great idea!

[@thatguy3139]

This is the bag i wanted but unfortunately i can only find it in a full OD green or bright orange 🙃 i have the ready pack 2.0 which i love but wanted something bigger. Great video though thanks for sharing

[@mightymovse]

What is that Multicam tropic pouch that your cords are in? I want one.

[@isandringpersson6520]

Does this bag stand upright on its own or will it fall over?

[@JasonMeredith]

What vertex bag is it?

[@MarleysComrad]

Nicely done fam.. Curious brotha .. what that set up weigh!?

[@dexterking7662]

New to your channel I like

[@lukesilva3907]

They stopped selling this bag :( anyone know where else I can get one?

[@paultorres2216]

What kind of shoes are you wearing? You look like you have a wide foot. I have issues trying to find comfortable shoes

[@GatewayDefense]

Altra lone peak 7s!!

[@neilsenhall3790]

2 things , one , where can i get a sticker and velcro patch , and 2 none of the links are available in the UK great video and some cool items

[@Scotty86doo]

Im surprised you didn't opt for the Premier Body Armor Insert for that bag. doesn't take up much room for a little ballistic protection.

[@jesussalazar9071]

Super cool gear, but overkill for edc. I’m still following you bc I can steal ideas for my edc and I liked the video. lol

[@1klakak]

Awesome video! What bag has all your charging cords?

[@GatewayDefense]

Otte Gear!

[@1klakak]

@@GatewayDefense thank you!

[@hangtough503]

Killer. Subd. HT🤙😎🇺🇸

[@LAWLESSXX88]

I plan on getting the gamut 2, but at the moment im running the long walks 28l, it fits my pdw with extra mags, and a few other essentials but not big enough for what i need to carry

[@LAWLESSXX88]

I got the long walks due to budget reasons at the time

[@TROY-MCCLURE-1991]

Vertx should send you their latest Gamut bag. The 2.0's are discontinued.

[@joshuatall8134]

The Gamut 3.0 is terrible. Vertx got rid of all of the stuff that made the 2.0 great and added a bunch of stuff that wasn't needed. They added a yoke system for the back straps, got rid of the internal pockets...it's a mess. I'll stick to my 2.0.

[@Odesssit]

Cool 👍

[@brokenbstring]

what shoes are those?

[@ericbaldwin2533]

shoes you have on?

[@thomastheradioman]

What sunglasses are these?

[@idng1908]

I loved the UNAM Pumas cheer tho

[@onebrightgator]

Interesting video. No rain gear or lightweight work gloves though?

[@raptorscz]

None of these guntubers have the slightest clue what its gonna take to get them home in an emergancy, they just want the wizzbang junk that makes them feel tacticool.

[@1986GaryJr]

What sunglasses?

[@Phlfwlr]

I love the bag and I have one, but it’s too big for edc. I got the Ready Pack and it’s a much better size

[@aureomiragliagundefensesys4401]

Hi Bro, very nice your city kit. I'm from Brazil and will like one patch of Gateway Defense. It is possible? TKS.

[@NHamel123]

Subbed for the standard trans

[@citizen9403]

Why did you park so far away from the coffee shop? Lol

[@joshuatall8134]

😂😂😂

[@bigfootswatching9986]

Bru nice truck........however, you need a Double cab Taco!!

[@ShaneSellsRealEstate]

Great Video - I love this bag but the almost $300 price tag for a bag is hard to swallow.

[@rafaelborrego36]

Goya Cachun Cachun ra ra!!!

[@RootRoot-dp2em]

Truck was parked 2 miles away from the place you were at?..

[@GatewayDefense]

Actually 26 miles I speed walked a marathon.

[@RepentorPerish77]

The text said he was downtown man…we all know how parking goes there

[@Chameleox]

Given the city he is in, it’s not surprising that he’d have to park that far away.😅

[@sazon860]

I’ve actually found myself in the midst of violent protests so I identify with this scenario lol

[@charliegaliste7143]

Whats the pair of shoes you are using here? Northface?

[@GatewayDefense]

Altra Lone Peak 7s!

[@claudiosobarzo4336]

Name of the bag?

[@mcrb1776]

Good stuff! If the start of the video was greyman, you need to work on that. You looked super suspicious🙂

[@michaelschweimler7292]

That is an edc.. - ok . Looks to me more like a full blown out ghb. Something i keep in a car that is not an edc.

[@GatewayDefense]

For you, I guess not. For me, I take this everywhere I’m going to be away from my car for extended periods of time. Depends on your context!
