Hi from Ct. I bought this about a year ago after seeing your review, my wife calls it my “ Sootch” bag. I love it because my EDC gear is way beyond my pockets can hold.
About 5 years ago, I ordered a T311 tactical messenger bag from Rapdom that cost $ 64.00 and I love it!!! ... Half the cost of a maxpedition sling bag and much better
I love my sling pack. I’ve had my Maxpedition Kodiak for years great for edc and more. Roaring fire gear is nice too. I have a few small pouches and a tool roll from them. All because of your reviews lol.
Sootch, I hadn’t seen this video before, but when I went to the Roaring Fire site from another video, I saw the sling…and I bought it literally sight unseen from the images and descriptions. I don’t feel bad for missing the discount code because this is already ridiculously well-priced already! I’ll do a follow up after I receive it, but I am literally blown away with how well-designed this bag is. Thank you for all your videos on this and your other channel!
I use a small sling pack. The "Osprey daylight pack". With it being smaller and a sling. I can quickly sling it for my back to front and pull out any items that I need without the pack having to be taken off.
I do carry a slinger every day commute to work by bus about 90 minutes each way. Almost identical but different manufacturer. I do impose a rule for myself, noting on the outside but inside there are items with attachments that would move if I ever had to walk the 50 miles home. Exact Same headband light. In fact almost the same loadout with some brand variances. Guarantee it would get me home from work wherever I started even if there was trouble on the way... Good video, thanks.
This looks like a great sling.. i love the size, a features. It'd be great if Roaring Fire would do a backpack version of this that clamshells open on the main compartment... maybe a couple of extra color options available too
Brother, I just wanted to say that I love you for all of your hard work. I want to thank you for the "labor of love" you bring to the education of others. I get a good feeling about you. I know that the work you do brings out a lot of "TROLLS". I'm not sure what makes people that way? I rarely comment but,, today I felt moved to do so. I guess it was to let you know that there are those of us who care about you and your family. So guess what? I glean your content and share this with like minded folks so I can better help them in their endeavors to be better prepared. It truly is a circle Brother. Thank you. Rev
I have a Roaring Fire backpack that I bought about 4 years ago, and the straps are so rotten that they are breaking off when I try strap something to the pack. I was really hoping that it would last longer.
Sling packs are great because they are grab-and-go. You don't have to get both arms through the straps in order to have it securely on you. I still haven't found the backpack of my dreams, but I do have a sling bag for grab-and-go emergencies. In a calamity it's got everything I need for a day.
I'm always keen to see how people set their gear up and what they carry but it would be nice to see a kit that has actually been used. There have been some on here that you just get the impression they are advertising gear, no names mentioned, but I just feel it won't be long before they are advertising powdered water. This was a nice set up though. Thanks for sharing.
The only things I carry in my sling pack is a couple power banks, a couple batteries for camera & camcorder, memory cards, mini tripod and a mini notebook for phone numbers or autographs.
I have two other sling packs but they both rub my neck raw so much that I hardly use them actively. They are now relegated to just organization of gear. I like the look of the Roaring Fire sling. I think I'll save my pennies and give it a try in the future.
I have the maxpedition remora sling...whats the difference between this one and the remora?why is this one only 59.99 the remora is 113.00..roaring gear seems to have better prices then maxpedition
I suggest the day hiking lumbar pack by mountain smith if you will be carrying something else. I have two small children so there is a good chance I will be carrying at least one of them in a pack.
I love the concept of a sling pack. I carry one every day for off-body CC. Could you do a video utilizing this pack, but tailored around flying and TSA "rules"??? What items would you carry as a "survival kit", besides the obvious, medical, flashlight, ??? What are some ideas/items that WON'T get the overlords at TSA in a tizzy???
This is not ambidextrous, it's for right handers and it happens to allow the strap to switch. All internal pockets are for RH, the conceal carry pocket only opens for RH. I asked roaringfire if this fit my laptop and got 2 opposing answers. In the end this is a Chinese company with an American front. They only take PayPal and the receiving address is Chinese characters. The confirmation from PayPal is from Chinese characters. In the end Walmart has a nearly identical chinesium sling bag for half this price. I get it, china is where all our industry went. But this bag is just a Walmart bag for right handers.
😎Absolutely always awesome videos😎 thank you😎 by the way what type of knife is that that you have with that sling pack. God bless you sensibleprepper and your family❤🙏🇱🇷
So many tools. The amount of metal blades/tools is unnecessary, especially on a “casual” “day to day” edc. Silky saw in there? Regardless I do love the spirit of the channel. Glad to see you’re enjoying filling up your new bag sootch.
The word "Slingshot" in the title is a bit deceiving. A slingshot is a tool that shoots ammo, marbles and rocks, not any form of backpack or sling pack. If some company is using the Name "Slingshot" or using that name for one of their models, Shame on them. Be safe my friends.
