Great review! Mine arrived yesterday and noticed that thoss seat belt like straps slide through the buckles, so I have to readjust almost every time...good bag for the rest
Cool to see some family involved. I watch your channel often, never knew you had a son... As a prepper myself, family life is so important. Too many "lone-wolf" type guys get the latest tacticool gear and forget to gear wife and son the same. "Good to gear up, don't forget your backup" ;-) Thanks Sootch for your videos!
I have this bag. It's well made and very comfortable to wear. However, the shape is odd, the top opening is smaller than the bottom. If you are used to a more traditional square opening, for a laptop etc. just be aware this bag is different. Also, I don't like the magnetic closures. I don't use the bag in a way that I would need such a set up.
I like the side pockets on the outside. It looks like they borrowed some design features from the Kifaru Urban Zippy (exterior side pockets) and the Mystery Ranch 3DAP (interior open mouth pockets on both sides).
Sir, you make very good videos and your reviews are detailed enough but not so much so that they ate boring. I, for one, truly appreciate you videos. I wish you'd make them more frequently. I'd like your views on the CRKT Bivvy.
Hey sootch, unless I missed it I don't think you've ever done a review on the Smith and Wesson 642. I know it's not new and there's a bunch of reviews on it, but not very many "big channel" reviews. Anyway, love ur vids on both channels, keep up the great work! Long live the republic!
I have a S&W 442 and have a review on it but not the 642. I've always wanted one so maybe I'll pick up one for review. Thanks Daniel! Long Live the Republic!
SensiblePrepper Thanks for the reply! It means a lot, there's only you and Mr gunsngear that are big guntubers from South Carolina and to me it's a big deal to get a reply from you. And thank you for your big Second Amendment support on RUclips and in the gun community.
There are so many other packs with the same quality and a lil bit cheaper. Where is the old ford at? For the love of god can u tell your son to turn his hat forward. The only time he needs to be turning the hat backwards is when he is shooting or when the wind is blowing on the boat/bikes. Take care
Maxpedition packs have a history of zippers blowing out. And the company routinely REFUSES TO HONOR their so-called "lifetime warranty" when a zipper fails (check out the many negative reviews on amazon dot com for proof). They want you to pay $50 for a zipper replacement. Their packs are very durable, but what good is that when your zipper is blown? No offense to Sootch is intended. All Maxpedition packs are overpriced. There are many other companies that offer superior products for less money. For example, 5.11, Mystery Ranch, Blackhawk, Voddoo Tactical, Eberlestock, and Condor are a few of the better companies. I recommend the 5.11 Tactical RUSH72 Backpack which comes in 7 different colors (including grey if you are wanting the greyman look), has a 3342 cubic inch capacity, and costs only $138 on Amazon. Or the 5.11 RUSH24 pack, with a 2275 cubic inch capacity.
Notice that you have it ratchet up on the zipper to get it to move. That’s because the zipper pulls are mounted/treaded through the zipper pull attachment in a 90° orientation to the zipper path. This causes a torquing/twisting moment when pulling on the zipper pull causing it to bind. Disappointing!
Sootch teaches about Bugging out / Survival tactics and piles of fancy /expencive gear and guns..but Drives a H3 = Super underpowered boat anchor that can't get out of its own way! LoL.. And they quit making them and parts years ago...You are aware they make these things called JEEPs, for 78+ years right ?.. The front and rear tow hooks on my jeep are not called "Hummer Hooks" for no reason! Lol my friend...
Honestly don't see much point in an truck unless you work in a professional that uses the full potential. I know you can hop curbs in an emergency, but I prefer a vehicle that can handle, has decent power, gets decent gas mileage, and doesn't draw unnecessary attention.
I guess I'm just told old at 75 I just have never had the need to carry a back pack anywhere other than camping . Just like a water bottle . I grew up in the central valley of California where it gets has hot as hell and never carried water on a daily bases only when we would go hunting and be gone all day away from homes ,normally you need a drink you walk up to a house and turn the faucet on and get your drink no one ever said anything but hi how you doing .Today you do that some would probably shoot you . But today in the car is our gear just in case here I am more concerned with earth quakes that could just totally mess up the roads and free ways and were 30 miles from home so were ready for that.
With technology today a backpack is a must for extended periods of time away from home. Backpacks like this one are also nice because you can carry a larger pistol than you would IWB.
Mr. Mike Boone, thank you for taking the time to be involved and comment on youtube. Your knowledge and experience is invaluable. Please keep posting your impressions and responses to things you are interested in on youtube. Please consider asking one of your children or grandchildren to assist you in posting your own videos on youtube. America needs to hear from previous generations. God bless you and yours sir. -PALMETTO LP/OP
No one minute montage of you shooting guns tracking through woods while wearing the backpack? No guns or knives in the video? Instead we just get your son and you just walking downtown. Still wanna keep getting that monetization money sootch LOL!! Keep it up brother!! Sad RUclips is doing this to our community!!!
The Trident is excellent and I use it for my camera bag. One reason Maxpedition offers different style is for different taste. I didn't like it until I got it in my hands. It's a great backpack. Thanks
Thank you for your videos. I cannot tell you what to do but I wanted to mention it to you and as God's child. When you state that God Bless America and God bless his Republican God does not show favoritism I'm not sure if you're aware that Romans chapter 2 verse 11 he does not show favoritism so I really wish there was no Republican Democrat or independent that people could just vote and not be category or labeled. that way it will not create the division and divisiveness people will be unified and they can just vote for whoever they want to know when we start labeling people that is not what Jesus Christ has done I'm not for sure if you read the Old Testament in the New Testament you will see that guy does not like Prejudice and God definitely don't like divisive spirit. I am not saying that you have a divisive Spirit I'm just saying that when people start putting people in a category we need to be careful God wants all people to be loved as long as they even those who do not follow him he give them opportunity to change and repent. Thank you again God bless you

Thanks Sootch for your videos!
I love the looks of that new pack. If you have an extra and wanna send it my way... lol
: ) It's a sweet pack. I'll be carrying it at NRA. Thanks Brother
Everyone is saying Greenville but here I am a Texas Boy thinking it's Savannah GA. We just got back from Savannah and I loved it.
I’ve had my bag for quite a few years now and I freakin love it
You have showed me a few new things
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Sootch, your the best!
Thanks Donald : )
Cool backpack Sootch00 and Maxpedition makes some awesome products. Long live the republic bro
I love bag videos ! Thanks ! Now I need a new bag.
Is that downtown Greenville, SC?
yes.
Nice bag pal. Thanks for sharing. Seth did a great job.
Thanks Kirk! Seth appreciates it : )
I don't like it as much as the gonegear bag. Also, shouldn't the zippers have a cover to protect from rain and cold?
Nice looking bag!!! Love the QD buckles on the shoulder straps.
Thanks Michael!
Very good review, my 14y/o son has been looking for something like that. Thx again from Tx.
Thanks Victor!

Very nice set up, but 200$
Sootch, it looked like it got soaked when you poured water on it. It's not water resistant, is it?
What does SHTF mean? I’m new to this bug out bag thing.
Well done. I think we need a few vids featuring Seth & his edc, favorite firearms & camping/survival gear. Maybe his take on some gear reviews also.
I enjoy your reviews on maxpedition backpacks and are going to reviewing on the MAXPEDITION'S KETSTONE VERSIPACK?
Great video never have enough grey man anymore love those catch Phrases... non tactical tactical also great..
Your videos are great! FYI, the magnets are to hold the front pocket closed if the zipper is all the way unzipped.
Heavy to one, bulky to another, light and just right to another. That's the beauty of being able to customize.
Exactly! Different sizes and styles for different taste. Thanks Tina!
Do you prefer Maxpedition over 511 tactical? thank you for your videos.
Best bag I've ever seen..
Thanks for watching Anas!
SensiblePrepper
Its an honor sir..
Would this accommodate a body armor panel?
I like the side pockets on the outside. It looks like they borrowed some design features from the Kifaru Urban Zippy (exterior side pockets) and the Mystery Ranch 3DAP (interior open mouth pockets on both sides).
It's a solid bag. Thanks
Enjoyed your idea I’m used to seeing you in the woods nice backpack
What kind of watch are your wearing?
Loved the South Carolina hat!
Love downtown Greenville!
Amazing review - what size water bottle fits in the side pouch?
It will work with standard plastic water bottles. Some of the thick aluminum bottles are tight. Thank Steve!
Thanks so temper with one of these bags
But my maxpedition jumbo is still holding up well .
Any knife reviews coming ?
Kind of late. I stopped using a tactical style bag a year ago. Still a cool pack.
Grey man look? Did it have to be grey?
Sootch00, first time I see you walking down the street! Unusual view :-) greetings from Czech rep.
Nice job but how do you spell it again?
i own a maxpedition and i can recommend their products .
Most of these features are heavily inspired by the Vertx EDC Gammut.
You mean stolen lol?
Sir, you make very good videos and your reviews are detailed enough but not so much so that they ate boring. I, for one, truly appreciate you videos. I wish you'd make them more frequently.
I'd like your views on the CRKT Bivvy.
Thanks Dwayne! I trying to keep it interesting. I'll see what I can do with the Bivvy.
Maxpedition currently has a 50% off back-to-school sale going on for all Entity packs/bags.
You should comment that on one of his newest videos even if they don’t have anything to do with backpacks just so people know about the deal. Cheers
@@blueballs5150 been posting it on all of the Maxpedition videos I've watched lately.
Appearance by 'Sootch Sr.'. Happy Mother's Day.
Young sootch needs to trade in that orange for some garnet and black. Great review!
Downtown Greenville?
Yes, it is. My home town. Thanks
I from Charleston and I got a question for you. Could you shoot me a email when you have a free movement
SensiblePrepper mine too

Great to see Greenville represented!
My hometown!
Great looking pack, except the water bottle pockets are very small. I’ll wait for the 2.0 version.
There are so many other packs with the same quality and a lil bit cheaper. Where is the old ford at? For the love of god can u tell your son to turn his hat forward. The only time he needs to be turning the hat backwards is when he is shooting or when the wind is blowing on the boat/bikes. Take care
nice pack and city too..:)
Looks very interesting... Probably have to take a second look! We also made some bag reviews to test the advantages. Probably to inspire some of you?!
Good video!
Thanks Para!

Do you have any specific bag recommendations for a grey man look with no molle webbing on the outside?

Downtown Greenville! Good stuff!
seth= the original sootch!
That's right. I'm actually Sootch JR : ) Thanks Brother
Looks good😁
Thanks for watching!
Como faco pra adquirir uma??
Enjoy your videos. You have a new vehicle? What about the Ford P/U.
I can tell downtown Greenville any day ❤
Looks like downtown Gville SC...
Driving a H3?!?! Can’t watch anymore lol
I'm loving it : )
get rid of your f150 for it?

ever try to tow or haul a lot of stuff with a car? it doesnt work that great. I doubt i could haul my kubota m59 around with a prius.
oh like the shirt...
love it
Awsome, next time your in Ft. Worth Ill buy you lunch ( not Yeager)...lol.

+1 for Clemson fans
Sweet Hummer
Thanks!
Those boots your wearing look familiar
LAPG in action : )
Vertx I think executed the design better.
love your videos sir, i will check out that other channel.
Well they sold out of the 27 and 23.
Same price as Vertx Gamut which is way more functional
Did I hear $200 dollars? That’s Vertx range, and Vertx is twice what this bag is. My opinion, of course.
looks more natural on Jr.
N. T. T. .... Cute!
There´s no way a man of your age with a backpack in the city won´t get noticed. And than he hops in an H3. But nice video
im not a fan of maxpedition ive had the straps bust off after hiking about 20 miles
Probably a dud, I had good luck with my Maxpedition stuff.
That is very surprising. Their stuff is overbuilt.
coydog outdoors bro I have had my falcon 2 for yeaaaaaaars! Maxpedition stuff is the shiz I love it. U probly got a counterfit or somthing
Anonymous Maximus agreed bruh. My Maxpedition monsoon has been around the world and it’s held up like a champ. No end in sight
Non-tactical, tactical lol
Thank you. Please correct the word Entity.
inside look after water test why dont you show it ?
Because it was all wet
It wasn't because I was hiding anything! Lol! It was dry. The polyurethane does a great good job.
too expensive. eBay $72 gets u a pack in a similar fashion. but great review and intro sootch00
Brian Emery - Bet it's not as good as this bag.
No one minute montage of you shooting guns tracking through woods while wearing the backpack? No guns or knives in the video? Instead we just get your son and you just walking downtown. Still wanna keep getting that monetization money sootch LOL!! Keep it up brother!! Sad RUclips is doing this to our community!!!
NicholasG28 - PCTube
It's supposed to be a greyman bag. If you're running and gunning in it, you have failed greyman 101.
Tim Piasecki - wrong thread?
Looks a little too bulky.
Mr.Doverfield - do you want a child's bag?
Daniel Peer yes
Mr.Doverfield - then why are you considering an adult bag?
They basically stole every idea in this series from Vertx.
Sorry, but this bag is ugly. I much prefer my Vanquest Trident in grey but I would also take the Riftcore over this in a blink.
The Trident is excellent and I use it for my camera bag. One reason Maxpedition offers different style is for different taste. I didn't like it until I got it in my hands. It's a great backpack. Thanks
