Guilty as charged, son. I rocked a leather fanny pack when you were a kid. I think it went well with my short shorts and over-the-calf athletic socks and my rockin’ Addidas or Puma low-top shoes. I may be an old man to you but back in the day I was considered a catch. Look at NBA films from 1980 and that was my jam - absent the basketball. Hahahahaha
I have used a fanny pack for the past 25 years being a type 1 diabetic, it was the only way to carry all my supplies. Did not know Carhartt sold these will check them out for sure. Thx Sean, glad to see you're still doing well
I applaud this guy for actually making "Every Day Carry" instead of Survival gear. 99% of people don't get that on here. Definitely following this guy!
Its a fanny pack, always has been, always will be. And all of our dads in the 80's-90's had that worn as heck, barely hanging together, leather fanny pack lol. Good content man!!
I was gonna call Bs until you came out and said you’re “at a point in your life where you just don’t give a shit. I’m in my mid-30’s and a dad.” And brother I can relate to that so keep on keepin’ on!
Your EDC is your survival kit. It meets your needs and not somebody else's. Therefore, why care what others think? Never have and never will. Love your EDC!
I dont care what you say about "fanny packs". They are extremely useful & are great for all occasions, zoo trip, hiking, 1st aid carrier, beach, general travel. I never understood the joke about them because i just find them useful. You can also add gear on the belt, so you can get even more storage/use out of them.
Awesome - thanks for watching! I’ve really enjoyed the switch to the fanny pack. I recently ordered the Vanquest Dendrite to test out - it’s a bit larger and would allow me to sling across my back or chest if I chose.
I wanna carry one of these so bad but I feel extra just carrying it while out and about daily but could definitely see myself using one in an outdoors adventure type scenario
I hate stuff in my pockets except for the knife I am carrying I also hate big bulky bags that you have to fill up for them to look right. Your set up is perfect. I like wearing my waste pack as a sling also. Friends and family always give me shit, oh well. You have a new subscriber!
in the 90's had a leather fanny pack that was for concealed carry, the front flipped down using velcro and your pistol was stored there, super cheesy but it did the job.
I do need to rethink my EDC now that I'm working from home. I wear cargo pants, so a lot of what you have in the fanny pack goes into my pockets instead. And I carry a day pack in part because my lunch box fits into it. But unless our office ever opens again -- and our CEO is now talking like we might never go back as a day-to-day thing -- I won't really need that much. So your video is very much appreciated as food for thought. (I was never into fanny packs, not even when they were popular. I think I was in exactly the wrong demographic at the time.)
Yeah, all my EDC developed from needing something at the time and not having it. Most of what you have, is what I put in and carry too. I have two bags. A large army type one that does have EDC in, and some basic outdoor equipment, but mainly winter items, rainy day and spare clothes items. My main bag Small one shoulder bag and Fanny Pack follow mostly what this video has.
Looks like a perfect bag I’m definitely going to have to check it out. I never got the notification for this video even though I have notifications turned on. I’ll agree mini alto it’s taste great, and are better than the regular ones. Loved the video hope to see more to come. The red on the P365XL looks good.
Question, I am on blood thinners so my first aid kit has more bandages, liquid bandaid quick clott, but not sure of the tourniquet. Ant recommendations?
I’d recommend a CAT tourniquet if you have the space for one. If you need a smaller footprint then I’d recommend the SOFTT-W (the one I showed in the video).
Awesome setup! I also carry a fanny pack. My wife thinks it’s dorky but I love the convenience. If I may suggest, a small snack might come in handy like almonds or a granola bar
Great to see you again. I agree with the not caring what others think. I am to old to care. Great advice on really thinking about what you use everyday. Especially when it is an EDC bag not a get home bag. Great video you haven't lost the touch. Enjoyed seeing this and am going to have to think about what I in fact use and need daily.
Carry on ,, I carry the Vanquest Dendrite (check that one out) in the sling mode on my chest. It has high vis yellow on the inside so you can find your gear really easy, and I carry my ccw in there also. Nice to see these are coming back in style again and I’m not the only one👍👍👍I’m also a Anker fan,glad to see your from Texas,, I love in Keller (Fort worth)
I have both the large and small Dendrites from Vanquest. I carry them sling methog. I use the large one on my walks, to hold water, gun and some other items.
Please reply to this 🙏🏼 I'm keen to buy this waist pack but the reviews on Amazon are so bad. The straps have broken for lots of people. How has your bag help up?
I'm back on rotations in the hospital (4th year med std) and needed to find an alternative solution to my jacket. I need the extra pockets for bits and bobs and medical supplies (usually gauze, tape, saline flushes) but by the end of rounds my scrubs are soaked with sweat. I was looking at various tactical belt + pouch attachments because I couldnt find any fanny packs that I liked. fortunate to have come across this video. I'm already a fan of carhartt for their stretch fit scrubs which have ample pockets and storage space (and wonderful flexibility - can squat heavy to depth), but current rotation requires pocket deficient hospital scrubs. Thanks for the review, will be a great piece of gear that will fit multiple uses.
Definitely food for thought. I'm thinking I need to get something small for EDC use like this. While a lot of that exists in my backpack I use for work, this is a very good way to organize it in a smaller, more efficient way. And I'm old enough to not care if it is called a "fanny pack". I've never worn mine in the back anyway.
Hey David, thanks for watching! When I worked in an office I sort of combined my work bag with my EDC bag and it worked well. Once I began working from home permanently I switched things around a bit.
The boo boo kit is legit dad stuff man! I have something similar in each car, throw it in my pocket if we are shopping or something. I’m really on the edge of a sling bag. The one I sent you might get shortly.
Since when there is something wrong with a fanny pack? I love the idea of fanny pack as EDC organizer that you can drop to your backpack. Honestly, if you want something light, whats the other choice? SLING BAG? The bag that you can't even run with? Fanny pack is the best middle ground.
No kidding brother I'm also a father and in my mid 30s I also been rocking a kind of pack I carry the Hazard 4 equivalent of this.. Same size but yeah rock on
Your set up is very similar to the one I've had for many years. I also rock a small sling that I have with me always. The sling is made by WaterField Designs. Thank you for sharing.
When I got mine they were down to just the blue color. It seems they’ve been very popular. According to Vanquest they’re expecting a restock in April. I found one for $63 + $7 shipping on Amazon, that’s about the best I’ve seen. DENDRITE-Large Waist Pack (Midnight Blue) www.amazon.com/dp/B08FF4HG9V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FCR1WTWXPB7JMCY5DBCB
Great kit! What do you think about the p365xl Romeo zero? I’m looking at trading my sas in for the p365x Romeo zero but having a hard time explaining it the the wife 😏 (Also just purchased a Carhartt “shoulder pouch” for the edc)
Great edc bag! I've been slowly pairing down as well it's coming time to find a smaller pack. I may just have to go fanny pack with you. It will never be as cool as my neon green one I rocked as a kid in the early ninety's lol but definitely a good option for the basics of my edc. Always love to hear your take on edc and hope you and the family are well. Great video my friend 👍
Oh come on man, carrying all this stuff with you all the time is just ridiculous...the adult version of a security blanket. All you need on your person when you leave the house is your wallet, keys, phone, and pocket knife(optional). Anything else you might need you can easily carry in your car.
How about a Camo Carhartt Fanny pack....lol? Awesome picks & gear as usual Sage LW👍🏻. Wet ones a parents best friend 🤤😅. Good to hear from your channel.💪🏼👊🏼
Definitely look into carrying *pepper spray.* It'll come in handy when someone (drunkard?) comes at you with fists, where you don't want to use your gun on them, of course. I've used pepper spray on an attacker, and they ran like the wind. :) There's always that intermediate form of self-defense you want quick access too, and pepper spray is perfect, especially since it's ranged! I like a 2 oz. bottle. Small enough to fit in pocket, and still have a good amount of spray to get out for multiple attackers. I just bought a cheap ($10) fanny pack on Amazon. VANBEEKEN brand. Said it's waterproof in title, then said water resistant in description, but I bought it anyway. I will like it on long bike rides. It can be thrown over the shoulder, across the back, the chest, etc. No shame! More preparation is cool! :)
I need to find a nice fanny pack, that looks perfect for carrying just the right amount of stuff. Awesome setup! And Gio is the way to go, been wearing that stuff since it came out
Right on man! I just ordered a new fanny pack (waist pack, lol) to try out. The Vanquest Dendrite. A couple people recommended it and it looks to have all the features I’d need but is just a bit bigger and would allow my to sling it over a shoulder. Might be worth looking into.
Lol nice. Intro cracked me up. I did the same thing this year except it’s an over the shoulder bag by Ozuko. I’m 28 but when I was I kid I always wanted to pack all my cool shit into one bag. Now I have something more similar to yours, with more practical stuff and not 5 knives and a plumbing wrench. You never think hand sanitizer is cool to have in your bag until you’re a year deep into a pandemic lmao. Take care dude
This is great! As a mid 30's Dad myself, I fully understand and am starting to feel the same. I have had my eye out for a simple "fanny" pack.. One question: Besides the edc knife/light/handgun, what else do you have in your pockets? It would be a hard habit for me to break to not have car keys and wallet in my pants pocket.
This is great cuz you know he's always carrying it. And its truly EDC, layer 1. Then he has an emergency kit as layer 2 inside his travel bag. Layer 3, vehicle kit. And, the house is well stocked. Well-done, man. You pass.
I’m rocking the Manny pack again too..I don’t give a fuck..I’m 38..great place to keep your meds if you are prescribed and vitamins.., have em at your hip in a pill container..better to get a good one and store your wallet in there while your are sitting ,have it leaning to the side holster style as opposed to sitting on a George Castanza Wallet fucking your back up unnecessarily over time..call it a man purse 🤷♂️ don’t care..convenient , worked great in the 90’s when I was a kid , picking it back up for 2022 here on out blast from the past Simon Phoenix .. I got a cool blue Carhartt one..most of the time it’s not even visible anyhow as the shirt covers most of it .. also store a few pens in there..(Try to avoid having to use communal pens at places you have to sign , especially A.C ..can’t even really notice it unless I packed it full..easier to leave your house and more efficient just grabbing the fanny
Hey just found your channel and loved this video ... I heard you mention Ft Worth/Dallas area so I had to follow and will be going back and watching your other content. I'm out by Wichita Falls in Holliday TX so just wanting to say hi and keep up the awesome content. Gotta support our own!!
Hey Kevin, thanks for watching man. I familiar with Holliday - my wife grew up in Wichita Falls so I’ve spent a lot of time there over the last decade visiting her family for holidays and what not.
Nice edc. Throw some safety pins in there along with a mini Bic lighter and some folded over duct tape. Oh, and some mini tubes of super glue, I’ve used that on cuts on my hands along with stick crap together.
I would not carry one, no. Is it better than no tourniquet? Absolutely. It just doesn’t have the evidence based research behind it like the other TCCC approved products like the CAT or the SOFTT.
I’d recommend the TourniQuick from ITS Tactical. It keeps the TQ covered and deploys rapidly with one hand. store.itstactical.com/products/tourniquick-rapid-tourniquet-deployment-pouch
Not sure Id consider this an "EDC" bag. For me personally I call this kind of bag a "day bag". Nothing wrong with having a day bag like this thats for sure. I just see these items as being in a different category than "EDC" bag items.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! That’s what’s interesting about the EDC game, everyone has their own definition and application. Some “EDC” bags that I see are full blown bugout/survival kits. For me this stuff that I truly carry everyday. I have another kit in my vehicle for example that has food, water purification, radio, multitool, etc etc but I don’t every carry it anywhere. I view it more as an emergency kit. Other people may carry those same items in their “day bag” as you call it, which is perfectly fine - it’s just a different philosophy depending on the person. I guess I probably use the term “EDC” more literally than others might.
100% - I didn’t take it as criticism whatsoever. It’s an interesting topic to discuss that’s for sure, and I appreciate the conversation! It’s always refreshing to hear other people point of view on a subject.
Hey Sean, man please don't take this the wrong way, but a fanny pack is very Dad. Not a bad thing, but it is a Dad accessory. I always laugh at the word 'fanny', it means different things in different parts of the world. Where I am from it has a very different meaning. Cracks me up. Nice set up. Always good to see stuff from yourself. Take care brother.
Haha! Thanks for watching wiggle! It is a very dad thing to wear that’s for sure. Someone else was just telling me the they call it a “bum bag” in England because fanny is slang for vagina 🤣. You learn something new everyday.
Nice edc pac! I also carry a hip pack and i am in my late 30s with kids and i carry it every day and i don't care what others think so ruck on brother! Do you happen to have a link for that mini pouch you got for your gadgets? Thanks in advance
Right on man!! Dads unite! Yeah, those little pouches from Manhattan Portage can be found on Amazon, 15 color options: www.amazon.com/dp/B002YWZUZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Bq-dGbJBPA9AC?psc=1
I still wear a fanny riding or hiking, with a foot long steel thumper, and the firearm is not a concealed, add a pint of water and snack. This is rookie.
Guilty as charged, son. I rocked a leather fanny pack when you were a kid. I think it went well with my short shorts and over-the-calf athletic socks and my rockin’ Addidas or Puma low-top shoes. I may be an old man to you but back in the day I was considered a catch. Look at NBA films from 1980 and that was my jam - absent the basketball. Hahahahaha
Haha! You did have the classic 80’s dad vibe for sure.
I like your attitude toward carrying this pack and not giving a shit what anyone thinks. Refreshing!
Thanks!
Same I wish I had the same attitude
I have used a fanny pack for the past 25 years being a type 1 diabetic, it was the only way to carry all my supplies. Did not know Carhartt sold these will check them out for sure. Thx Sean, glad to see you're still doing well
Hey Joseph! Good to hear from you bud! That’s a smart way to carry diabetic supplies - definitely convenient to have everything close at hand.
TFS. It’s refreshing to see a “real” EDC bag. You’ve definitely given me some ideas
Thanks man!
Agreed. Most people turn theirs into survival bags.
Seriously considering slimming my EDC bag into something like this. I like the modularity and no nonsense approach to your bag! 👍
Yessss Fanny Pack Gang!
I applaud this guy for actually making "Every Day Carry" instead of Survival gear. 99% of people don't get that on here.
Definitely following this guy!

Haha. Right on dude! Thanks for watching.
Im 22 and a dad and I still carry a fanny pack 😂😂 they make everything so much more convenient
Your EDC is your survival kit. It meets your needs and not somebody else's. Therefore, why care what others think? Never have and never will. Love your EDC!
I dont care what you say about "fanny packs". They are extremely useful & are great for all occasions, zoo trip, hiking, 1st aid carrier, beach, general travel. I never understood the joke about them because i just find them useful.
You can also add gear on the belt, so you can get even more storage/use out of them.
Absolutely, they’re certainly practical and functional that’s for sure.
Good to see this. The timing is actually pretty good. Been looking at my bags and about to go through a big change.
Awesome - thanks for watching! I’ve really enjoyed the switch to the fanny pack. I recently ordered the Vanquest Dendrite to test out - it’s a bit larger and would allow me to sling across my back or chest if I chose.
Nice simple real life setup, though personally would add a full size multi tool.
Love the fanny pack. Fanny, bum bag, waist pack.. call it what you will. Love the " don't give a shit ". Exactly ! Rock on ...
Excellent review… thank you for displaying a simple edc that we all can use.
I wanna carry one of these so bad but I feel extra just carrying it while out and about daily but could definitely see myself using one in an outdoors adventure type scenario
Man... I love when you get to that point in life when you don't give a shit... its liberating
Fanny Packs are comin BACK!!!
I hate stuff in my pockets except for the knife I am carrying I also hate big bulky bags that you have to fill up for them to look right. Your set up is perfect. I like wearing my waste pack as a sling also. Friends and family always give me shit, oh well. You have a new subscriber!
Thanks for watching Robert!
in the 90's had a leather fanny pack that was for concealed carry, the front flipped down using velcro and your pistol was stored there, super cheesy but it did the job.
When it works it works! Thanks for watching Robb.
I do need to rethink my EDC now that I'm working from home. I wear cargo pants, so a lot of what you have in the fanny pack goes into my pockets instead. And I carry a day pack in part because my lunch box fits into it. But unless our office ever opens again -- and our CEO is now talking like we might never go back as a day-to-day thing -- I won't really need that much. So your video is very much appreciated as food for thought.
(I was never into fanny packs, not even when they were popular. I think I was in exactly the wrong demographic at the time.)
Good to hear from you. As close as it gets for me is a Crown Royal bag that I keep in each vehicle and occasionally take one for specific situations.
Came here just to see the fanny pack before I purchase. Glad to hear you're a part of the fanny pack crew too!! I wear mine proudly every day!
Right on! Thanks for watching Antwon!
I don’t know why so many people make fun of Fanny packs . I think it’s the best way to carry EDC items and concealed carry.
Agreed! Thanks for watching James!
You started out all simple pimple then you turned into Sean again!!!!!!! Lol hahahahaha
The Boo Boo kit there it is!!!!!! Lol hahahahahaha
They might be coming back in style. All colors are sold out. I am 54 and would wear one because of the convience. Great video
Yeah, all my EDC developed from needing something at the time and not having it. Most of what you have, is what I put in and carry too.
I have two bags. A large army type one that does have EDC in, and some basic outdoor equipment, but mainly winter items, rainy day and spare clothes items.
My main bag Small one shoulder bag and Fanny Pack follow mostly what this video has.
Title should've been Dad's Fanny Pack Essentials. Just need a ziplock bag to keep your money & ID in.
That’s a good title!
Looks like a perfect bag I’m definitely going to have to check it out. I never got the notification for this video even though I have notifications turned on. I’ll agree mini alto it’s taste great, and are better than the regular ones. Loved the video hope to see more to come. The red on the P365XL looks good.

Damn right it is! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Question, I am on blood thinners so my first aid kit has more bandages, liquid bandaid quick clott, but not sure of the tourniquet. Ant recommendations?
I’d recommend a CAT tourniquet if you have the space for one. If you need a smaller footprint then I’d recommend the SOFTT-W (the one I showed in the video).

Awesome setup! I also carry a fanny pack. My wife thinks it’s dorky but I love the convenience. If I may suggest, a small snack might come in handy like almonds or a granola bar

2nd generation actually, the light is on the front of the case
I’m looking all over for one of these bags and can’t find it in black. Any ideas?
Carry on ,, I carry the Vanquest Dendrite (check that one out) in the sling mode on my chest. It has high vis yellow on the inside so you can find your gear really easy, and I carry my ccw in there also. Nice to see these are coming back in style again and I’m not the only one👍👍👍I’m also a Anker fan,glad to see your from Texas,, I love in Keller (Fort worth)
Right on man! I’ll definitely check out the Dendrite. I’m in Fort Worth, just south of TCU.
I have both the large and small Dendrites from Vanquest. I carry them sling methog. I use the large one on my walks, to hold water, gun and some other items.
Hey Freddie - I went ahead and ordered a large Dentrite to try out.
Hey man I bought this same pack and the straps aren't holding up. How is yours holding up?
Please reply to this 🙏🏼 I'm keen to buy this waist pack but the reviews on Amazon are so bad. The straps have broken for lots of people. How has your bag help up?
Condor draw down I use this on because you can actually swap out the waist strap with a low profile bud belt. Best but bag ever

Heck yeah man. Dad life is for real, lol. That sling bag you showed me looked legit dude.
No matter what kind of lip balm we use it's all still "Chapstick"
True! And no matter what “facial tissue” we use it’s all still Kleenex, lol. Thanks for watching man.
I understand the importance of being prepared and am all for it . . . but two flashlights?
I need the second one in case I need light to find the first one. Lol.
😂😂😂😂Fair enough? (Well-played, sir)

No kidding brother I'm also a father and in my mid 30s I also been rocking a kind of pack I carry the Hazard 4 equivalent of this.. Same size but yeah rock on
Joe Rogan has been trying to bring back Fanny packs. He wears one a lot.
No kidding? That’s awesome. I listened to his podcast religiously for a long time, I need to start listening more often.
You could also skip the gear and put a bottle of whiskey there.
Your set up is very similar to the one I've had for many years. I also rock a small sling that I have with me always. The sling is made by WaterField Designs. Thank you for sharing.
A year later… how’s it holding up? I’m just about to click the order button and you’ve literally got the best video out there.
Great video. Thanks!
Can’t find one anywhere except on eBay. There’s one there for $70 plus $10 shipping. Hope they can be found elsewhere soon.
When I got mine they were down to just the blue color. It seems they’ve been very popular. According to Vanquest they’re expecting a restock in April.
I found one for $63 + $7 shipping on Amazon, that’s about the best I’ve seen.

Buy a small donut air compressor to air up your tires and stuff versus those quarter air machines. They are great and don't take up much room.
Great kit! What do you think about the p365xl Romeo zero? I’m looking at trading my sas in for the p365x Romeo zero but having a hard time explaining it the the wife 😏

Does the 365XL fit in the pack?
I just got an olive drab green fanny the other day for my edc stuff. It works well.
Where can I find this bag
Real edc bag right there. Great watch.
Great video I like how organised it all is

I need to set up something like that, tried sling bags but didn't care for them.
Right on man!
Great setup!! Good job!
Thanks for watching Andy!
I’m rocking the Manny pack again too..I don’t give a fuck..I’m 38..great place to keep your meds if you are prescribed and vitamins.., have em at your hip in a pill container..better to get a good one and store your wallet in there while your are sitting ,have it leaning to the side holster style as opposed to sitting on a George Castanza Wallet fucking your back up unnecessarily over time..call it a man purse 🤷♂️ don’t care..convenient , worked great in the 90’s when I was a kid , picking it back up for 2022 here on out blast from the past Simon Phoenix .. I got a cool blue Carhartt one..most of the time it’s not even visible anyhow as the shirt covers most of it .. also store a few pens in there..(Try to avoid having to use communal pens at places you have to sign , especially A.C ..can’t even really notice it unless I packed it full..easier to leave your house and more efficient just grabbing the fanny
Awesome carry. I'm jealous of your 365xl. I don't think I'll ever rock a fanny pack but I'm glad it works for you.
Theire definitely not for everyone! Lol. Thanks for watching Jade!
Hey just found your channel and loved this video ... I heard you mention Ft Worth/Dallas area so I had to follow and will be going back and watching your other content. I'm out by Wichita Falls in Holliday TX so just wanting to say hi and keep up the awesome content. Gotta support our own!!
Hey Kevin, thanks for watching man. I familiar with Holliday - my wife grew up in Wichita Falls so I’ve spent a lot of time there over the last decade visiting her family for holidays and what not.
I use one for conceal carry for years.
My first edc bag for my car was a fanny pack ;) I fit a lot of stuff in it.
Haha, hell yeah!
Welcome back buddy!
Thanks friend!!
i subed instantly when i saw Aqua di Gio, good choice, good video
Haha, right on!
Safety first. A gun is a personal safety device.
Nice edc. Throw some safety pins in there along with a mini Bic lighter and some folded over duct tape. Oh, and some mini tubes of super glue, I’ve used that on cuts on my hands along with stick crap together.
Super glue is super useful - I use it on small cuts all the time!
Micra - thumbs up. Have 2 or 3.
Great vid 👍from England 🏴 subbed
Thanks! And thank you for watching!
Nice! I rock a fanny pack once in a while. I just bought my first chest rig from Hill People Gear. Loving it so far. Cheers.
Right on man! Great to hear from you bro. Hill People Gear make great stuff!
@@GearedTowardGear1 hey... would you ever carry a RATS tourniquet?
I would not carry one, no. Is it better than no tourniquet? Absolutely. It just doesn’t have the evidence based research behind it like the other TCCC approved products like the CAT or the SOFTT.
@@GearedTowardGear1 last question i swear! You have any favorite CAT-T pouches? I'm an Arborist and need a nice cover to protect it on my belt.
I’d recommend the TourniQuick from ITS Tactical. It keeps the TQ covered and deploys rapidly with one hand.

Not sure Id consider this an "EDC" bag. For me personally I call this kind of bag a "day bag". Nothing wrong with having a day bag like this thats for sure. I just see these items as being in a different category than "EDC" bag items.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! That’s what’s interesting about the EDC game, everyone has their own definition and application. Some “EDC” bags that I see are full blown bugout/survival kits. For me this stuff that I truly carry everyday. I have another kit in my vehicle for example that has food, water purification, radio, multitool, etc etc but I don’t every carry it anywhere. I view it more as an emergency kit. Other people may carry those same items in their “day bag” as you call it, which is perfectly fine - it’s just a different philosophy depending on the person. I guess I probably use the term “EDC” more literally than others might.
@@GearedTowardGear1 I totally agree with you. My comment wasnt a critique in any way just a conversation. :)
100% - I didn’t take it as criticism whatsoever. It’s an interesting topic to discuss that’s for sure, and I appreciate the conversation! It’s always refreshing to hear other people point of view on a subject.
👍🏻on the video!
Thanks Kyle.
Tinkerbell! You lost me with the cologne
Magnetic usb cables will change your life. Net dot gen 10.
Right on man - I’ll definitely look into that.
Consider an atomizer instead of carrying the actual perfume bottle
Hey Sean, man please don't take this the wrong way, but a fanny pack is very Dad. Not a bad thing, but it is a Dad accessory. I always laugh at the word 'fanny', it means different things in different parts of the world. Where I am from it has a very different meaning. Cracks me up. Nice set up. Always good to see stuff from yourself. Take care brother.
Haha! Thanks for watching wiggle! It is a very dad thing to wear that’s for sure. Someone else was just telling me the they call it a “bum bag” in England because fanny is slang for vagina 🤣. You learn something new everyday.
@@GearedTowardGear1
Hahaha, man you got it in one. Bum bag in Australia. Fanny is slang for vagina.
Nice edc pac!
I also carry a hip pack and i am in my late 30s with kids and i carry it every day and i don't care what others think so ruck on brother!
Do you happen to have a link for that mini pouch you got for your gadgets?
Thanks in advance
Right on man!! Dads unite! Yeah, those little pouches from Manhattan Portage can be found on Amazon, 15 color options:

I still wear a fanny riding or hiking, with a foot long steel thumper, and the firearm is not a concealed, add a pint of water and snack. This is rookie.
