Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the video!
Great video and awesome gear! Gave me a multitude of ideas in building my first 'get home bag'. Thank you!!
great load out your ready for everything good job
I've been using the Red Rock Summit (similar) & I have been extremely happy with it. Today I just ordered the Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon 2 & can't wait to start using it. Thanks for sharing this video with us. - Marco
I like the video and the bag
Doctor Robinson Jr
Thank you 😊
great video, and great pack.
Great bag, like the way you have everything set up. Cool Video.
Wow! Great set up! Thanks for sharing! subbed!
Wow you really packed that bag out. I'm new to the whe YT thing but I've watch a significant amount of vids and i must say ur vid is several yrs old, but it's one of the fullest bags yet. You have some of everything, good for u. I have 4 bags including my spouse's bag, I'm always learning, thx for the vid.
Thank you. There is a new video with updated bag. 😁
i've got the same fishing pole! love it!
Cool!
I REALLY like the Dark Brown color. It doesn't look as "military" as other packs, so you'll have a lower profile.
Great review. Love this back pack. I bought one last year as my combo, get home bag/bug out bag. Made some mods to it so I can attach my sleeping bag on the bottom where the shock cord is. And attached a waist strap to it too. It holds plenty and for the same reason as you, forced to keep this type of bag lighter in weight. Although I could pack about 25lbs worth of stuff in it and another 10 (or more) lbs to the outside of it, I keep it under 20lbs.
Great gadgets & gear! No, I don't have a review. I just figured there are plenty of reviews out there. I guess I should do one and show the modifications I did to my bag. Thanks for the encouragement! :-)
My get home will only be 10 miles. I'm not planning an over night trip. There won't be any time for campfires, fishing or snaring small animals. I'm going to be hoofing it as fast as possible. I want to carry as light as I can with only the things I'll need to make it home to my family. Pack and unpack your bag often and you'll find you can make it home with less items.

This is true you can go lighter, much lighter. This is for far longer treks and not knowing what you’ll run into in your rush to get home. Since these bags must be tailored to your personal situation, physical conditioning and knowledge this is more of a general idea kit to pick and choose from. Plus you description would be a 5 min video and what fun is that to watch? Lol. Point taken though thanks
Maybe I missed it but there's gotta be room for a folded bit of duct tape in there. Liked the kit very much. Think you should plan a way to carry the water, whether clipping on an empty bottle or that platypus bag you have. Water has to be/go with you always, even in areas with lots of streams, ponds, etc. Still, great kit, liked your presentation style. Oh, I too took a chance on the Coghlan's saw. Was surprised how well it works and for a care emergency-kit, with contents I mostly hope not to use, going for value often makes sense.
Duct tape yup forgot it in glove box! As far as water goes that too is in the car a case of it, but the maxpedition dump pouch works great as a water carrier. I always have a metal bottle of water with me where ever I go. Thanks for the comments. Yeah that saw was ok for this kit but got the best saw for my woods kit the sliky gomboy what a sharp great saw!! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great GHBag, but for me it is more BOB, cause i live in a small town and don't go too far from my home. But I wonder how you get all this stuff in such a small bag. Very good.
Thanks! I travel a lot for my hobbies so this bag is perfect. Yup good at getting a lot in a small space, thanks for the comments.
Great video! Where did you purchase your telescopic fishing rod w/reel from? thanks!
Great gadgets & gear! Thanks! I appreciate it! you should do a review on it
Can we be best friends? 😁 I have a serious gadget/KNIFE problem as well and FINALLY a female on here with her GHB. ‘bout time! I need a friend to play with me and my toys (the wife is over it! Haha! “Yes dear.🙄”). My pack is too packed but it it also VERY SMALL and wrong for what I need it to be. I am waiting on my 511 Mira. Anyhoo.. I know I am 5 years late but maybe the mesh front on the Eagle claw bag (was that the name) was for a water kit.. you wanna let those air out after use. Also, I NEED that pocket/keychain camp towel that’s hanging from your pack..NEED it to live. I can’t find it! I am going to go look for an updated GHB from you STAT.

Haven’t done a new one for a while. Lost my dog recently so videos been put on hold. Hope to get back to it soon. Thanks!!
I am sorry to hear about your dog..I hate that for you. Hope to see some vids soon!
Lee Johnson
Thank you, ya it sucks
Great video! What do you use to attach the rolly poly with? Tacties or speed hooks (size?)?
Speed clips 3". Thanks!
SIDE MOLLE IS ODD, BLOCKS WATER POUCHES.JUST ORDERED PACK, WISH IT HAD SOME SIDE MOLLE ELSEWHERE
Did you drink your water before it expired?
Also, I have that same little pocket reference book...I love it! Only mine doesn't say Maxpedition on it.
wretchpin
Nope wasn’t needed. Fun video to make though
Do you still use the bag?
Secondly, did the side pockets/ mesh hold up to daily use?
Blue Gear
Occasionally I do but I have a lot of bags so I swap them out. So far no problems with mesh pockets no ripping or tearing. Thanks
Where did you get that pack towel? andd what is the name of it?
Mark Olsen
Sea to summit pocket towel
Amazon
Can someone recommend a bag or pouch that'll fix below the front compartment? He said something about a Maxpedition bag, but I didn't understand properly or can't find it.
I said someone mentioned a Maxpedition janus extension pack would fit but it didn’t work for me. I would use a Maxpedition cocoon pouch probably fit better to keep bag up or use a rolled jacket? Blanket etc.
Like the eye glass case where did you find it?
marrngtn
What eye glass case?
Great Gadgets & Gear! Sorry watched Too many videos on the Pygmy pack. I saw another video that had a red eye glass case where you have your red rain jacket in the shock cord. I spent all weekend trying to decide between the Maxpedition Falcon Pygmy and the Vanquest Trident 20.
I may have missed it, how heavy is the bag once loaded?
Been a few years. A lot of changes since then but if I remember correctly it was under 14 lbs
How is that Pack holding up now?? Any issues with the pack??. Rips tears anything??
Sorry never got notifications. No problems with bag. Maxpedition are super tough and durable. No rips or tears.
Good job. I have ben R^D get home packs for almost 30yr. Your doing great Hrars what i tell people not to do [ my pack] The Ultimate Getting Home Bag , specialized keep up the good work
Is the water expired
Doug Skyta
Expires this year
SOS approved water?
SpraynPray check the web for your best answer
:)))
But why?
In any damn situation all you need is a shelter, first aid and fire kit, water filtration, compass and a knife.
Everybody’s got an opinion and everybody thinks there’s is right. Lol. Whatever works good for you don’t mean it works for everyone, if it did these videos would all be the same and you’d have nothing to complain about! Hahaha 😝
@@Greatgadgetsgear honestly, I'm not complaining. In reality, you will never need those gears to survive. Most worse-case scenarios are imaginary!! And even if something goes wrong all you need is your skills.
@bardia karbalaei. Yes you are right IMO. I would probably add few packs of freeze dried food or any sort of army dry rations, emergency heat reflecting blanket/sleeping bag ie sol emergency bivvy, waterproof clothes and warm packable fleece or any warm top and you pretty much can survive few days without any problem.
Everybody’s got an opinion and everybody thinks theirs is the right one. Lol. What’s right for you might not be right for someone else. Don’t judge someone else’s situation that you know nothing about. Just pack your own bag and be on your way.
If you are walking home, why would you need to change a tire? If you are driving, why carry all of that stuff? Or take the time to go fishing? Too much stuff! You've got a small fortune invested in that bag. How much does it weigh? Everything looks brand new, even the pack, have you used any of it, or are you just an armchair or tabletop reviewer? I checked out your videos and I see that you are a reviewer, not a user...a true outdoorsman would need much much less. The more you know, the less you carry.
Robert Winkler
Well duh. But those would make pretty short dull reviews. Seems like your bored trolling complaining tearing down other people who you know jack about? Maybe you should get a hobby? Like an outdoors man lol. I know who I am and what I do and don’t feel the need to explain or justify to rude viewers. Don’t like my channel based on your wrong snap judgements?? Go to another channel....
@@Greatgadgetsgear Because I ask questions and point out the obvious, that makes me a boring troll? Seems that you cannot handle criticism. BTW, I've been an outdoorsman for over 60 years so I know of what I speak. Grow a spine and realize that some people see you for what you are.
Robert Winkler
Listen gramps these videos are for entertainment. It’s not about the questions you ask it’s your rude attitude and judging someone you don’t even know. Yes I get new free products all the time from companies I’ve been loyal to for the last 35 years. Just because you don’t agree with how I do things you don’t have to be a jerk about it. I’ve been camping hiking mountain biking and the list goes on since I was 10. Yup you can survive on less yes knowledge gets you farther than gear but people like gear and gadget reviews I get so many item to test and try that yes I don’t always get the chance to use and abuse them all. Don’t judge people by a video it’s rude an not accurate anyway. Please enjoy other outdoor channels and gear reviews. Your opinion is just that your opinion. Get over yourself. Have a nice day
The more you know the less you carry applies only to the poor, unprepared, or to the arrogant as history constantly illustrates... Although well versed in surviving minimalistically, I've lived off the land for years but was ALWAYS well prepared to thrive. Test yourself but dont be stupid...
To be fair his questions are not unreasonable. You say he’s rude but yet you call him “gramps” and are sarcastic in your reply: “well d’uh”. As a reviewer you are entitled to your opinion but you must expect that there will be those who may disagree with that opinion. You would have had more impact if you had refrained from the rather childish name calling and sarcasm and acknowledged his points and argued your case or just agreed to disagree. In choosing to react as you did you just come across as overly defensive and that perhaps you don’t really know what you’re talking about.
I’d ditch the streamlight and find something more reliable. I’ve owned two of those and a strion and had problems with all three. I replaced my tail cap on my strion and having issues again. Complete junk.
whatfreedom7
Never had an issue with my streamlight to this day. Keep in mind gear changes and evolves in time. Things from past videos are relevant in that time. I’m working on a current bag since things change. Sorry you had trouble with your gear guess I just got a good one.
Great Gadgets & Gear! Yeah my luck hasn’t been good and my brother also had issues. Roll with what you trust.
whatfreedom7
That’s good advise. Although I still have and use my streamlight I also have evolved my lighting. Always open to new ideas and great gear. Thanks for your input as it will also help others. Hope you both have better luck!
Cool bag but honestly most of the contents are unnecessary and wasteful. A lot of unneeded extra weight and a lot of packaging that would result in tons of litter. In a get home situation you don't want to be carrying all that crap. I guarantee you won't use more than half of it.
It depends a lot on what the bag is for, this is their emergency gear storage bag as opposed to a bushcraft kit or Inch bag. I have a very similar bag as well almost the same gear. I also have my Inch bag which is very different built more around long term sustainability. This is a great kit.
great load out your ready for everything good job
Thanks
