The Hill People Gear Chest Rig - A Fanny Pack for Your Pecs 

For sure. This was a nice surprise this year. I can't remember who reccomended this to me but it was one of you guys. 🤘

The red medical rig would be perfect for work. I think it has like a shelf system where you can work with all the tools with it open? Either way, they have a lot of great stuff over there.

Appreciate you stopping by the channel! 🍻

I still use mine for all hiking/camping trips. It's still in perfect shape btw. I'll update you guys in another year or so on it... 👍

Excatly! This generally rides in my maxpedition pygmy 2 pack but for hikes, I paired it with a water bottle sling and 32oz was just barely enough. I also have a backpack with a 2l bladder I just picked up but the plastic taste was killin me. This could be helpful for a ton fo different things I think. Thanks for stoppin in bradda and happy new year!

@@5MinuteKnives Check out MemoBottle. Flat water bottles.

That's a great idea! I pair this with a sling for a water bottle and was good to go!

Did you recommend this one to me a while back? I can't remember who it was now.

@@5MinuteKnives no it wasn’t me, but I do like it

Appreciate it! Still really digging the HPG chest rigs. Thanks for stopping by! 👍

I almost picked that model up! I think I might for round 2. Thanks for reminding me! 🍻

Glad you found us! 🍻

Thanks Eli. I think you're gonna like it. if not, I'll regift it to the subsribers for ya if you want. 😂

@@5MinuteKnives haha. Sounds like a deal man. Thanks so much

I'm just so fed up with switching my carry systems around that I was willing to try anything new for me. haha I mainly carry appendix (even when I wore this rig). And now worries on sending the E4 in! Either way, you have one in the bank. 👍

@@5MinuteKnives I can definitely understand that. When I moved back here I had nothing. Every bit of my gear was stolen and through some friends and really good people, I've ended up with five packs and I've been able to replace the majority of it. So switching from pack to pack to see what works best was a hassle, but no complaints because I could still be stuck with none. I ended up going with the ddt sling for edc and hiking (I basically carry the same gear) and a camelbak a guy gave me for camping and day trips. Appreciate that man, but changing the colors on it lol. I think od green and black.. Or tan.. I don't know.. Haha

@@redbear_70 damn that sucks. I'm gonnba check out that pack you mentioned though. I'm always down to check something new out concerning carry. And I just put an esee 6 together in od blade, black/od scales and a new 4 for Lily. Tan and OD go really great with blood red for me. Stuck on those combos.

@@5MinuteKnives yeah it does and even worse with the person that stole it. There aren't many videos on it but it's a great pack. Mine is black with red stitching. Those sound like great setups! For me it's black and orange, black/red and camo. Depends on my mood lol. But I absolutely love this Harley 4 setup I have. But I think I've mentioned that a time or two or three 😂

For sure. I'm right there with ya. Lemme know if you ever get around to trying this one out. Happy new years bud! 🍻

@@5MinuteKnives I HAVE WORN MY FULL SIZE KIT BAG EVERYDAY...SINCE I GOT IT. WISH I HAD IT SINCE I WAS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. WHAT HOLDS THAT KNIFE ON THE FRONT? SOME KIND OF CLIP DEVICE. ITS NOT GRIM-LICK OR JUST WEAVED IN???? SEMPER SUPRA

MINE HAS SOOOOO MUCH MORE IN IT.IT IS MANY POUNDS.

@@BOOSTEDLASER good to know! And those are molle clips attached to the knife. 👍

Hello... Newman. 🤣 Not much. Just surviving. Yourself?

🤣🤣🤣 That's awesome

That piece of plastic idea is gold. Thanks man! I don't know why I never thought of that... 🤣

They are pretty awesome huh? Wish I had something like this years ago. Thanks for tuning in Adam!

Appreciate ya! Giving away a Fox Trekking Bowie on Valentines day (and I'll prolly sneak in a free sheath for the 1$ and 3$ folks. In the meantime, I have a discount code for our site waiting on ya the next time you need a custom sheath. 🍻

every reviewer who started less than fifteen years ago is influenced by him I think...

@@5MinuteKnives only the tasteful ones. :)

I keep one in my pack but not a bad suggestion at all. Appreciate ya! 🍻

Mine has held up really well too!

@@5MinuteKnives so far I only put water bottles for hiking at the moment, but soon will but my edc things in it

Just molle clips I use for my custom sheaths. 👍

Now there's a good question... I would say even a double stack compact (12-15rds) is a chunker in there and you do feel it so the paddle holster would have to be suuuuper thin otherwise you'd have an issue. This could also be when you have a bunch of stuff int he front pouch too. If you keep that load minimal, it might give you some more room for the firearm. I recommend something like the shield plus or 365xl. Something like that OR carry your gun in appendix concealed like in an appendix rig with an extra mag sidecar, and just use this pack for extra mags and your various survival nick snacks, it might be the way. Basically, it's a never ending quest for the perfect concealed carry. In over 20 plus years of daily carry, I've never figured out a perfect system. I'm starting to lean towards open carry shoulder rigs lately though. As for the gun community, I'm always split. Half my 2A brothers are cool, the other half are hurting our image with anti gun types and act like total assholes online to each other. The knife community (although there is a ton of cross over) is MUCH MUCH cooler as a whole., so i try to stay out of gun talk with most folks. Just as bad as bringing up politics or religion now. Sorry for the rant, but you got me thinking...

@@5MinuteKnives I’m a huge fan of carrying my Hellcat OSP IWB.

More importantly i would loop a jokster simply to cover the trigger in case theres anything else like a pen in the same bag as the gun... very important oversight. Please run a holster even a soft loose one is better than nothing. AWESOME CHEST RIG! Im trying to decide vetween this and the viktos one.

Actually pretty much. After awhile, I got used to it and it was pretty aweosme. Thanks for stopping by!

yes, you can remove them. I use them with my backpack each time though so they stay on. Thanks for tuning in!

@@5MinuteKnives finally someone that actually uses them!!!

@@Zawfee I have to. Really offsets the weight of my backpack so after a few miles my back thanks me. :)

I just scooped em online form my kydex folks over at knifekits.com 👍

? I do on my belt actually, just not in this pack. I have a med kit that goes on the back of my belt. Cool comment though!

Tourniquet, Israeli bandage, CPR mask. Good idea.

Appreciate ya bud! Looking forward to future builds. 👍

molle attachments I use for my customers when they need em. 👍

💯

Thanks man. (I'm actually pretty lazy with that stuff but I'll take the compliment.) It will fit a g20, but you'll def feel it in there. I like the slimmer micro 9's for this bag but it'll def fit up to g19 size just fine. 👍

@@5MinuteKnives last time I was in Idaho,I slept under a tarp on the ground. A Wolf 🐺 ran right past me feet away and howling. The occasional Grizz and lots of Black 🐻 Bears. My friend got surrounded by wolves. Thanks for the info. Hill Country got my business because of your review.

Depends on what the customer wants, but we offer combat loops, molle attachments (seen in this vid) and I'm working on straps for scout carry currently. Thanks for asking. 👍

Good question! They may have discontinued it? Maybe send their cust service an email with this link asking if they still make it? Appreciate ya!

Molle clips and hardware I had laying around the shop 👍

That's where I'm at exactly. I just prefer concealed carry to keep the element of surprise if I need it. It's bad enough we have to go up against mass shooters with ars with our single stack and compact 9mms, so I generally like to take any tactical advantage I can get. If you're going gray man, I'd suggest not getting a chest rig with the mole webbing. Check the HPG site out there. They have a ton of (pricey but quality) stuff.

I also love that you can leave 2 zippers in the top right corner, kinda opened, with 2 thumb width space in-between, so you can open CCW compartment much faster.

If i saw somone with a bag on there chest in od green or black covered in molle im going to say theres a gun in that bag

If you want to carry wothout people knowing in a bag grab a multicolored jansport or nike bag and throw a ar pistol with a folding brace in it good to go

@@donaldbutrum9060 I carry in a Swiss Gear computer bag that I got from Target. The best urban camo is from Target.

molle clips. knifekits.com

Just an Esee 3. Any 4 in or less knife would be good there for the most part...

@@5MinuteKnives Awesome, thanks!

I don't but I'll look into it now...

Somehow I just know that the man on the screen would be delighted I met some kind of threat that he could step in and take efficient care of. That, my refined friends, is exactly what you would like to have handy and if you enjoy nature walks where's a companion who can describe in exquisite detail the process of field dressing any animal including OPP OSS ONS. Do not advise this gentleman away from that topic, just duck your head and go on.

@@hs0zcw your comments baffled me, but thanks? 😂

Thank you! That's one we made at my company Dragonscaleconcealment.com

@@5MinuteKnives What is used to attach the knife sheath to the chest rig molle?

@@johnp1839 molle clips. Yupper

molle clips

? I use knives a lot when camping... And each is for something different. Plus I subscribe to the theory of redundancy...

It was the third spell they taught me at wizarding school. 🤣 (Just a molle attachment. I have a custom sheath company)

I hike a lot on casual trails, so sometimes I don't want to open carry and draw attention, but in the times where I feel I'd need something quickly, i switch to appendix carry while wearing this puppy. 👍

@@5MinuteKnives I understand that. But you never know what kind of wildlife you'll encounter. I live in Texas so you never know you might come across a rattlesnake, Copperhead, black bear wild boar.

@@Shadowwolf7774 Good point!

I keep one for fire starting in bad conditions and to apply to burns, another one for me rips. lol (Also it's dry as hell where I live, so I drink about a gallon of water a day too.)

@@5MinuteKnives - Yea, humidity would play a part in the need of chapstick. Not as dry, where I live.

Molle attachments and I make my own sheaths...

@@5MinuteKnives thx!

@@popo2079 👍👍👍👍

Full size

barely...(I think)

Officer model for sure...👍

Esee 3 and I made the sheath

@@5MinuteKnives have any for sale ? I was looking for a knife set up like yours

@@chickenbeak1500moutians lol I run an ad for my kydex company in each vid. Dragonscaleconcealment.com

@@5MinuteKnives this link is dead

@@ffdawg25 I know. I already answered you. I took the site down because everyone just emails me for a quote anyway, so there was no reason to have it anymore. Just shoot me an email at dragonscalejoe@gmail.com Thanks! 👍

3 is 2. 2 is 1. 1 is none. My chest rig is set up for bugging out and I keep all my packs loaded while hiking to adjust to the weight. PLus I'm strong enough to carry it all just fine so it makes me happy knowing I have everything. I'm often with other people so I bring enough gear to hook them up if needed too. And thanks!

I keep a small poncho in mine... and usually use it with a backpack... or carabiner might work. Just roll up the sweater and attach it by the straps underneath?

@@5MinuteKnives 👍🏼coo!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

So you're telling me there's a chance. :D This is a really quality bag btw. Still looks at the same after all the abuse I've put it through. 👍

I don't take orders from you but she did and she didn't mind it without the firearm in there. With the gun it was uncomfortable for her...

@@5MinuteKnives Sorry. Didn't mean to be brusque. Really like your channel. Thanks for the reply.

Don't know that one, but I had mine for a couple years now and it shows no wear. I'm not a fan of sling bags though. Bothers me over so many miles.

disagree. Depends on your income I guess, But I've been thrilled with how mine has held up to abuse ever since. Still looks brand new but is broken in really nice. I'd be willing to try different products for this but this piece of gear has served me very well so far...
