Exactly! Most consider it rude to approach and ask what is in your bag? This includes irritating folks who think they spotted you to the restaurant manager in a signed location. How are they to know it isn't camera gear or sensitive medical necessities embarrassing to talk about to strangers/others? Then you get the "shoot me first" crowd. They are convinced that if you are seen with a vest or a waist pack, you are CCW and will be shot first by the bad guy. How about the bad guy sees you may be armed and the coward chooses to leave instead of the possibility of being stopped? Most won't notice, and more won't care and who cares about either!
I just bought one of these a few weeks ago....works great! Gideonstactical did a video on these awhile ago that led to me getting it. I’ve held my compact xdm.40 with little issue. Good video
Seems like a fanny pack/waist pouch would be better served as a light weight MED kit. Especially if you could loop your belt through it and wear it behind you you. Gun up front, med kit in the back.
Not sure of this as I do not ccw. But it may work as a nice walkabout pack for the quick less than a 1/2 day hike type. As usual great video and review/ presentation. 👍👍
Only a few people within the gun guy crowd see some dad with a fanny pack and think he might have a gun. Honestly assuming you aren't wearing boomer tier punisher skulls and thin blue line shirts its about the most "grey man" way to carry possible while still having a full size defensive weapon.
What brand of hook and loop holster is that? I’m looking to do the same thing (woods carry/rural carry) with mine (G19) and don’t know what holster to get with it?
*I get shit for my push pack... God only knows what kind I'd get for carrying a fanny pack. Lmao.. Little do most know I have a few surprises tucked away in it. I definitely wouldn't mind having one of these as well just in case though. You never know..*
don't call it a fanny here....Fanny means a Pussy or Buttocks in Canada. I love my (Murse = mens purse) Tactical Waist pack..great for day hikes in the bush, and the city...at the gym...and carries alot of necessary gear !! 4:00 The only complaint about these is that the divider material frays & tears , between the Back pocket and Main pocket...wish they would improve that stitch.
The main area has velcro to mount a holster. The hidden back zippered pocket doesn't have that velcro. The organizer will fit in the back pocket. Not sure how comfortable that would be if loaded up though.
Only gun guys think that fanny pack "screams gun." Everyday people just think they're dorky...but I know i'm dorky so I just embrace it...
No one KNOWS what's in your bag and it is really none of their business.
As he said, it's my possibles bag and no explanation necessary.
I agree. I got a red and black one. With how I dress and the bright red Fanny pack I bet most people think I’m just some unarmed hipster lmao

Pretty cool. Yea, they are making some pretty good stuff. I really like the removable organizer panel.

Hello my friend, thank you for sharing your review on the Helikon Tek bag. I am considering on purchasing one. The best to you. Take care out there. 🤗
Just pulled the trigger on the possum waist pack! Incorporating it into my day hiking system.. ATACS FG all the way everyday

Thank you for the review. I’ll buy it but thanks to your suggestion I’ll get a non-camo pattern.
Hi my friend! Awesome review! Thanks so much for sharing!
Stay Blessed!
Fair, honest review. Thanks 😊
Thats a nice heavy duty pack! Great review! Enjoy your night my Friend!
Have you looked at the Hill People’s recon bag for use with a gun in conjunction with your pack?
Awesome pack good video
Oh yeah! Very cool

You do know it's Helikon-tex not helikon-tek? It's even on their website lol
Sweet little pack
Great video as always! I do have one question, where can I get the little skull Velcro patch?
Thanks
Kevin
Tad Gear use to sell them

Condor
Not available in Black? 😵
Not a great system for quick access to fire arm . Make a slick stiffener panel with 1 1/2 wide bungee to hold the gun in place.

What about the zipper pocket on the back? Sure that's not for the ccw?
The main area has velcro to mount a holster. The hidden back zippered pocket doesn't have that velcro. The organizer will fit in the back pocket. Not sure how comfortable that would be if loaded up though.
No black option and too much velcro. Velcro will give out at some point. Gotta pass on this one.
That’s a wannabes fanny pack, ........ cool guy lol , I gotta say, as far as packs go? That’s really cheap/flimsy, ??? $15?
