FAVORITE LARGE FRONT FANNY PACK? SEMPER FI GUNNY
@bdcochran015 ай бұрын
1. excellent review. 2. I have all kinds of bags - fanny/sling/over the shoulder. 3. I haven't worn a pair of trousers, like blue jeans, outside for years. Wear running shorts. Warm where I live. 4. Daily, I have an over the shoulder type bag like the old US Army bag, only sturdier. Carries written codes, pen, paper, wallet, eye glasses, pocket knife, paper back. With some few exceptions, I am normally within 100 yards of a car with enough resources that I never have to go home again. 5. One time I bought a knock off of the old GI should bag in Spain and carried that bag through North Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and north east Asia.

6. My name is bdcochran01 and I number everything for some reason. 7. I brought up #3 for some weird reason. 8. Instead of just saying "throughout Asia," I felt the need to list each location individually. 9. I am a SPED and weird. 10. Did I mention that I like to number everything?

Helikon Rat is nice, I have it. But I preffer Helicon Bandicoot. :) Rat can get big. I mean huge and heavy. Imagine if you stack the front two pockets with things (easy to do) and then you want to draw your gun. You pull the quickdraw handle, the entire front part drops (because it´s heavy) and hits your ... family treasures. Next issue, as mentioned, you can not detach the belt, nor hide it, nor put the Rat on the belt or mole straps. But you can with the Bandicoot. I love that it is more versatile. You can detach the belt. Or not. Just hide it (I call it belt sleeve) and put on a belt. Or put 2 carabines on the loops and attache it to mole on your backpack. You choose. Bandicoot has 1 "body"/hidden, 1 main and 1 front pocket. Main pocket has velcro panel and comes with a detachable organiser. I can fit my full size HP VP9 with 1 extra magazine. Just a pity it lacks the quickdraw handles.

Good review. If I’m going to carry off body I prefer the 511 sling bag that you reviewed awhile ago. Also, if I’m going to be in the wilderness, I would use a hill people gear chest rig. It will accommodate a large frame pew pew.

I had a Bianchi concealed carry waist pack it used neoprene as the pistol and spare magazine holster for the inside pouch. Right-hand draw only. The outside pouch had a layer of some kind of padding to protect those items from the exposed pistol and magazine components. It only came in black if I remember correctly.
@starlingblack8145 ай бұрын
Thanks Aaron for the review. I would only carry the pistol in it with extra magazines. Everything else I would carry in the backpack.

Thats a fairly well designed bag & I think It could be very useful but personally I havent had the best luck with waist packs or sling packs. I do like the chest rig miltary style pack , although there not discreet there highly functional.. I do a have a nice maxpedition bag that works well for me with the pow pows. Im honestly more excited about the hard side hydration kit , very cool. Thanks A.

Every small bag like that should have attachments on each end, and also near each corner on the top. This configuration accommodates both fanny pack wear, plus a properly positioned sling bag for left or right shoulder wear, depending on which of the top attachments you use.

It appears to be well made. From a safety standpoint, I'd never use any off-body form of carry in populated areas as that type of bag screams "concealed" carry. You'd be better off with open carry using a Level III holster. Cross-body or around the waist, you're playing with fire and setting yourself up for a mugging or worse. For in the backwoods, that could work in all kinds of applications. Thanks, Aaron.

Looks like a good medium sized edc bag. Might need to pick one up. Also, you may be familiar with the brand Mission First Tactical (MFT). Around the holidays last year they released a new line of edc type bags, from sling packs to large backpacks. They're a little pricey, but seem to be high quality. I'm interested to get your opinion on them if you ever get the chance. Cheers!

Having to pay extra for concealed carry components doesn't upset me even though I would use them.. I'm guessing the majority of folks don't need it, so why should they have to pay a little more for something they'll never use. This actually would make for a nice small range bag. It has enough organized compartments to store two handguns, several magazines, and plenty of ammo. Otherwise, it would be a nice addition to a day pack as an EDC bag or a med bag. It's big enough to carry a small blood pressure cuff as well as other critical supplies for people with extreme medical conditions. In urban, high crime areas, several people carry "dummy bags" with fake billfold, fake credit cards, useless keys, and minimal cash. Personally, while inner city, I prefer not to carry any kind of bag that would draw attention to me.

@@michaelbrown8441 No but if the bag opens totally not just into a shallow v, you always risk dumping the contents. Part of the reason I almost never use that method of carry or any off body carry. The other is how quickly someone with a strap cutter can steal it off you during a tussle. But if it works for you go for it. I would just use a holster like crossbreed makes for that purpose.

I wouldn't worry about being too low profile, since dudes only carry fanny packs to carry guns these days anyway. They're literally just a holster with more mag capacity. I assume everyone I see with a fanny pack is packing heat, automatically. Especially really conspicuously tacticool brands like this. But even if I see a dude wearing a Jansport fanny pack, I assume he has a gun.

There have been times I needed to transport a few documents, but they're not enough to be worth the hassle of wearing/bringing along a backpack or shoulder bag. And it's summer, so I don't have a jacket with a interior pocket. I've thought about fanny packs, but they're either way too small or basically a sling/shoulder bag.
