EDC Haversack Perfection! Tuff Possum Gear Shackleton Satchel Review 

From Indiana. Now in New Mexico. Thank you for your information. It has helped tremendously

Hello. I'm from Russia. Thank you for your videos, they support me and they are very interesting, I am pleased to learn how people live in other climates and other countries, it's cool. I love your presentation, plot and your pragmatism, respect, thanks again.

I noticed you usually wear cowboy leather boots. Have you ever had any problem with thorns penetrating ? I live in Laredo,Texas and after trying various military style boots I find that Rocky Jungle boots will stop even 4 inch mesquite torns from penetrating. Could you do a review on footwear?

The skittle pouch is a nice accessory pouch for sticking inside the EDC Shackleton. The larger tool pouch with side handle is great for cordage and tent stakes in larger overnight kits.

That's a cool bag .. love the "V" style beard& stache ... 👍👍👍👍👍

I usually carry an old German breadbag made of canvas. Three slots one for first aid, one for cooking things (oil, herbs and spices) and one for utensils. The main pouch is used for food and other stuff like Opinel 12 stainless steel and cutting board. The main cooking vessel, water container and survival stuff is on my bushcraft belt.

Looking good both urban and wilderness EDC,

James, great video. I've never heard of Tuff Possum Gear, but it looks like high quality stuff. I really like the interior design of the haversack! Very well thought out. If there is one thing that I'd modify (and this is just me being picky), I'd replace the 2" flat webbing shoulder strap with 2" tubular webbing. I'd cut off the existing webbing, leaving enough material to be able to sew on a 2" double D-ring at each connection point. Then, I'd add a length of 2" tubular webbing. The reason for this is to increase the versatility of the haversack. You could store a 21" Bahco bow saw blade inside the tubular webbing, and it would lie flat so you'd never know it was there. You could also store long tent pegs in the vertical portions of the webbing to save space in the haversack. While in camp, you could use the 2" webbing as a strap around a tree to support a hammock; if you're a climber, tubular webbing is excellent for protecting ropes around sharp rocks. The uses are endless.

I'm digging those side pockets

Good-looking bag.

His survival scarf is really cool.It can be used in a lot of ways and now they offer a even bigger one.

It feels nice to wind back some where in the open desert with no one around and eating a cup of ramen after a tiring day of work. Something simple as ramen tastes better outdoors lol

I own the Shackleton satchel, and I own one of tuff possum belt pouches, i highly recommend anything he produces!

Looks like a fantastic haversack. I've been eyeing some of Tuff Possum's gear on my Instagram account lately. I totally see the Tiki face on that buckle, haha! Looks like it can fit quite a bit and is really well constructed! Great review, my friend! Keep it up!!

Nice review of the Haversack looks nice

Haven't heard of this company before this video. I'll check them out.

That reminds me of a WW1 or WW2 messenger bag. Cool !

👍👍👍 looks like a good haversack by possum gear! I got the hidden woodsman haversack and it's a great bag!

That tiki face, I see it. But now I can’t unsee it, if you know what I mean. Cool video👍

Nice haversack. I think I may have seen those little bottles with the cork stoppers at Hobby Lobby.

The buckle is a possum face. The squeeze locks are the ears. Nice review & loadout. Everyone has different needs when it comes to what to carry. I find a different bag for each environment, preloaded, works well for me. No two haversacks, or backpacks are loaded the same. The only extras are food, and expected weather. Keep 'm dirty.

Thanks for sharing James looks like a great bag .

Thanks for review and show.

Cool looking bag!! I like the clip in front and pockets inside... very nice!

Awesome 👏 setup JF 🦊👍👌✌️🇺🇸

I’ve always been curious why you prefer a haversack over other types of bag.

Awesome review. You can tell very good quality materials in the product

Cool haversack! Thanks James.

Ive never seen anyone using a haversack. Looks handy as can be. 😊

Great load out James! As always, nothing short of excellence! I'm a pack guy myself, but I must say that is a sweet haversack. I've seen you wear one so often, that I can't picture you without it. Would love to see your take on the Maxpedition Proteus one day. That's been my go to for a few years now.

I have a zippered pouch from him, great quality! Nice load out 🤠

yep... got one for Christmas 2023 so fat it's GREAT! has it's issues... the shoulder strap buckle slide strap could be thicker the fold over flaps curl some, maybe after time... they were out of the Satchel Organizer Panel & Stabilizer Strap have been out of stock... this is now my EDC replacing my Healthy Back Bag (purse/sling, formerly made in USA)

Right on James, that's a neat bag for sure and looks extremely well made. I'll have to check out his IG, thanks for showing it off. Cheers 💪

Thanks James just ordered it

It is perfect. I’ve used many verse packs, satchels and man bags. This combines the best features, modularity, strength, ergonomics and weight. I have other small backpacks but this form function can’t be beat! Love the exterior slot pockets and webbing loops for quick access and attaching bottle pouches. The cobra buckle is so silent and easy to use.

Very helpful review on the Tuff Possum Haversack The bags design is quite usefully engineered and the craftsmanship of the bag is impressive. However, I do have reservations regarding the buckle design and assembly. It appears to be made of a cast plastic material and over the years I have not had good experiences with plastic buckles/hardware. In any event, thanks for another great video review.

Cuervos soundtrack is on point as ever

These are beautiful haversacks! Gonna have to look into getting one sometime, I love the tiki buckle lol. Great video, man 🤘 can't go wrong with chicken Ramen :)

Nice haversack, good video

Looks like a great haversack!

TPG makes a sleeve for canteens and cups to keep all the soot off you bag after cooking with them over a fire.

Nice compact kit there!

Thanks James! Nice bag……didn’t think anything could top the hidden woodsman.

Thank you..

Nice looking haversack! May check one out. I’m currently using a Hidden Woodsmen Haversack.

would love to see the tuff possum gear belt pouch!!

Nice bag 👍

Very cool bag super heavy duty, just not sure about the man purse type thing. I do like the look of the bag, wish it could be maybe 3x larger and in back pack from. I will check out the website. Thanks James!

It’s a cute little bag although I prefer my now rare large German bread bag that. I got from Sports Mans Guide several years ago for about $30. It measures about 18” x 12” x 9” fully loaded. it has 3 pockets on the outside which are under the flap when it’s closed. It also has a divider inside. I got mine in black and used it as an EDC bag until I retired. Then when we had the 6,250 acre Marshall Fire with 1,084 homes destroyed in December which was only a few miles away, I repurposed it as an Evac bag. The one big danger of a bag this large is that it’s really very easy to overload it if you want to walk very far so I would try to use mainly ultralight gear in it for bushcrafting or camping.

watched y our edc vid and saw trhe torch u wear in your hat,bought it.works great.thx for the info

THANK YOU

Does your canteen fit in there as well? How do you like it vs hidden woodsman haversack?

Chicken Ramen with a Jalapeno, now you have my attention.

Great video James new to the channel a big howdy from west virginia

dig that bag looks handy are those the las cruces mountains in the back ground

Never thought anything was wrong with the traditional haversac. All the newbies out there are just making tactical purses.

I still like The Hidden Woodsman's haversack better. The PALS webbing on the sides is a great place for an ifak and a bottle pouch. And the axe sleeve is great. I get this isn't called a haversack but I'd rather have a Hidden Woodsmen haversack in the outdoors. Nothing against this bag, looks well made. I like the 2 pockets on the inside front of the bag but the Laser cut PALS webbing on the inside back makes no sense to me, I'd rather have elastic webbing. And that buckle is extreme overkill.

Nice haversack

Still like my hazard 4 rocket sling pack. You got a review of that poncho. I'll look anyways.

Greetings from Mexico City!😀🇲🇽

Ahhh James hon you make me so homesick. The satchel looks great, so do you come to think about it. How do you keep that manly bod when you eat crap like instanoods? :P lol

Good video. GBY.

If Ramen knew that their product would be a staple of campers, hikers, bushcrafters they would market it as such.

Thanks for the great Videos, we enjoy your channel, looking for your input please, I am wanting to purchase a Haversack & it is a tough decision on which brand to purchase, Nutsack, Possum, Woodsman there are so many, you have a lot of experience with all of them, have you tried the Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Haversack, what is your recommendation from your experience, looking for the best one - Thanks

If I had that bag it wouldn't be so organized.

l like your videos James Jason from Melbourne Australia

Better than the Hidden Woodsman?

Dollar tree has those little spice vials.

Good video good review. I can tell you those tent stakes suck. When a Storm comes they will fail. And your missing tape. For repairs and first aid. Not to be a Dick I don't like the flashlights . Well God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Aguire Springs? I plan to take my 3 year old on his first camping trip there this spring.

jesse iam a luddite. if I buy the Thrunite T1 flashlight does it have a recharcable battery in it ? if so does it come with the recharging usb cables ?

The only thing I don't like is no room for a water bottle, on outside

Please can you send me a link to your gutting, cooking and eating rat video. I would really like to watch it again as I’m getting into trapping rats for food. Thank you.

So is it a haversack? Cause it looks like the satchel they sell.

I'll stick with my backpack that's like too much like carrying a purse

👍👍🦊🦊

Water?

Where do you put your tampons? 😂

Can I have yours
