Just ordered this bag. I was looking at a 5.11 rush 24, or a first tactical specialist 1 day. When I couldn’t get the 1 day in black from a website I use, I saw the tactix half day. I think a 1 day pack would be too big, and the half day specialist was too small. But the half day tactix is in between the specialist and the 1 day packs. Tactix is also the better quality series in every way. I plan to use mine for EDC, travel, and rucking, so I got the waist belt to go along with it. I usually ruck with 30-50lbs. I wanted a bag that could do it all. I’m so happy with this purchase!
I couldn't agree more. I bought mine a few years ago. It has soooooo much to offer. Once you think you done....you find another pocket...or function. Amazing.
Great review LS! I've had the Tactix 1 day plus for about 8 months now. I originally bought it as BOB but I travel a lot for work and have found that it makes an excellent travel / carry on bag. As long as you don't fill it to the seams you can carry it on the plane with you. Keep it up brother, love the content.
Wow what a pack. What can' t you say about pack. Easy access outside an asset. All around greatness. Options galore, handles all over. Support is solid and room for rifle, outrageous. Thanks. Tony.
I've had the Tactix 1 Day pack for a year. Build quality is second to none! Even bags twice the price aren't as nice. My only problem with the 1 day is that it's a little too big for an EDC so I've been using it as a BOB, so this half day looks like a great EDC pack. FIRST TACTICALS WEB SITE OFTEN HAS GREAT SALES SO WAIT UNTIL IT GOES ON SALE IMO.
I have this bag and it has been excellent. Use it primarily as a camping bag now since I'm still using the Rush 72 as my BOB, but First Tactical is a great company and looking forward to picking up more of their gear. Excellent video as always.
Your review - which is pretty much the only one of this pack currently on RU-vid - convinced me to get mine. Should arrive in 2 days. I already have the Rush MOAB 10 and 72 but I wanted something in between, and was torn between the Tactix 0.5 and the Dragon Egg. It seems that the Tactix is slightly better designed. The side handles pretty much sealed the deal for me.
I'm gonna have to check these bags out. I'm currently using a large ALICE pack as my bug out and a medium for my get home bag. I really need to do some down sizing because of some pretty bad back issues.
@@Nipplehook The You Tube you're watching is an invention of "us Americans". You probably also buy plenty of stuff at the American businesses we've most likely opened in your country and you most likely have family members and friends that work at the American owned companies and businesses we stupidly outsourced to your country. Everyone likes to talk shit about us and then, when they need us, the like to say "where was America helping us when......." But, since you are talking shit about us, let's see you and your country, family, friends, neighbors, and countrymen boycott everything American and see how you all do
Thank you Ben for the great video. You just made my mind up for me. Ordering the Tactix 1-day plus pack and waist belt. Not a bad way to spend 210.00 dollars. I am carrying the SOG Barrage now and at 91+ liters its just to big.
Freak'n love this, man. I ordered mine yesterday (1day plus), cant wait to see it. If I like it, I may consider this smaller one as the "911" kit bag. BTW, did you use this bag for "2020"? Lol, you named all scenarios.
Excellent video. One thing I would like to see is you measure the dimensions when full so we can see what bags we can take on flights. First Tacticals website doesn't seem t have this info. Thanks for the video.
Sometimes there are specific marches that require weight. Is this a decent pack to put a bunch of weight in to try and complete specific type of rucksack within a certain time?
That is a nice backpack and it must be just perfect for you. I have one which is similar to the ones used by our military and I love it. I got it at the military exchange on the Army National Guard base locally. The price was right and I could not do any better for the price. The only thing I don't like is having to carry my sleeping bag and bed liner on the outside of the bag. I am going to get a tarp and good survival blanket to go inside and don't weigh much.
This is so cool! Most of these packs are not available on Amazon. Are you stilling running this? Would love to hear your suggestion for a great tactical pack.
Im currently looking at this bag as we currently have bushfires threatening us which is a near yearly issue and I just realised now that I don't have any quality bags!
My only complaint about bags like this is that when you fill up the main section the front sections become next to useless because they don't add extra material for them to expand accordingly.
Cool. If extra is added then that room will be taken up as well. Then the pack will be front heavy. Causing it to fall forward and not stand up on its own.
I've seen a lot of your reviews about backpacks bug out bags I was looking at the Maxpedition gyrfalcon but I'm having a tough time finding one, what in your opinion is the next best bag
This pack does kind of scream tactical but it's still awesome. In the "real world" anything more than a Walmart Jansport will grab people's attention. It's unfortunate, but true. We forget that fact since we live and breath tactical packs so much. Still like the vid!
Hello bro, got the same bag in black. The laser cut molle mount cut out separates. Some of the layers from the webbing in the upper pouch seperates. Does yours do also?
What's your determining factor over the Rush 24? - I'm debating on getting the Rush 24, but I really like the adjustable and removable compression straps on this pack. I'm using it as a school bag or just a day bag when I'm out in the woods or elsewhere, so I'd like to be able to remove any clips and straps when possible for a more minimal feel.
The things he bought the bug out bag are happening. People probably thought he was crazy. I am starting one slowly. If I dont need it atleast I'll have camping gear.
Nope, this is the Tactix 0.5 Day pack, just as the title says. The Specialist series has regular webbing, with a half-day, 1 day and 3 day packs. The Tactix series has the 0.5 day, 1 day and 3 days packs, all with the laser cut molle.
What is your take on the dragon egg mk2 vs this? I just ordered the first tactical specialist half day and stoked to give it a go. Had the dragon egg mk1 and it is quite a hard pack to beat. Wonder what do you think about it?
Hi Living Survival,I just bought The 0.5 First Tactical(budget model) and cannot unclip the front clips. How do you do that? They seem stuck in place!!
Is this the best pack you've seen around 35 to 40 L ? Have you reviewed the warrior assault system Predator ? I looking for a new edc, carry on bag that will hold enough gear for me to survive a couple of days should my hold bag go missing, carry my EDC, and nappies and toys etc as I have kids !?
That's a nice pack. I'm gonna go to your link and check out their prices. Does that company support your channel? I've been doing some inch bag and get home bag vids over on my channel. Maybe some of your large viewing audience would like to come check a few out...
Really great review. Cheers from Australia. I just hope I can get this into Australia. NOOO, I really wanted to buy one of these bags but they don't ship to Australia :( OK, so I might be able to get one via their UK store but OMG, they have just switched the $ for British Pounds, meaning it makes them INCREDIBLY expensive and quite a ripoff for anyone outside of the US. OK, last update, I found a supplier in Australia but the half day pack costs $230 which isnt cheap but at least this one looks of quality. Do you think its worth $220 or could you recommend something else, perhaps a global brand?
Great review, but you left out some key features..... The shoulder straps are adjustable up and down for various torso lengths, they adjust inside right behind the frame sheet. The top and very bottom of the bag unzip to create a large tunnel to slip in a full size rifle scabbard.
Agree, it's very nice. Some nice features indeed. Seems as though nothing is cheap anymore. It's probably made in the US of which will drive up the cost--I could be wrong though.
Living Survival so I've got 3 backpacks/bags total none are full of survival stuff mine are all military style not military issue but i use them for hiking/camping/going to the beach/maybe fishing. I put medical/first aid kit in one that goes with me as a day use pack. I could combined my stuff to make a bug out bag but never really needed one. What items should I get in a list for a kinda bug out bag?
I'll be honest. I don't belive in the zombie shit. I have a bag for incase of the breakdown of social aka pandemic. And my bag is made more or less for the wilderness
