I'm already an EDC backpack guy. Not a big pack, it's a camelback mule minus the water bladder at the moment. Being a father of 2, a toddler and an infant, it makes it easier to carry my EDC and their EDC. I'll probably still carry it once they've grown out of needing certain things.

Great video, informative, and it lays down the information so we can pick it up easily. There’s a reason I look forward to a Zac in the Wild episode each week. Would love to see a video someday about notebooks, from pocket size to backpack size, and the philosophy behind them. Seeing how you carry different ones, the way you use them, and how you have found them handy would be great. Thanks for the entertainment and learning.

I just must appraciate the choice of locations for the backrounds. You do a amazing job choosing different visually interesting spots, which is much more enjoyable than just talking in some studio, like for example Taylor from Best Damn EDC uses... it gets really boring real fast, when you watch dozens or hundereds of videos in the same location. So props to you both Zac and Jamie !!! ❤

I do hate objects in my pockets and I’ve tried the smaller Fanny packs but the lack of organization and CCW carry made me try the larger hip packs that I can carry water bottles for long walks. They work OK but now you’ve introduced me to the belt pack option and I’m gonna have to check those out. Great video Zach! 👍

I’ve been using the “Fanny pack” for two years in summer. I wear thinner shorts in summer and I hate things in pocket. It’s also great to be an edc organizer. I just put things in and go. I don’t have to load and unload my stuff coming and going. And if I don’t need it I get what I need and slide it under a seat. It’s also a way to carry medical stuff, epipens and allergy meds.

I have a bunch of different pouch sizes (mostly as tool organizers for specialized activities or hip belt attachments for my pack). On their own I mostly use a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack, because I can carry a lot of tools around the woodlot (Big Boy Silky Saw, Staple Gun, etc) that wouldn't fit in a tiny pouch but aren't enough to require a backpack.

Ow goodie! A new Zac in the wild video while I’m tweaking my edc 🥰 Bum bags/ fanny packs are awesome for those few extras bits and bobs especially on hot summer days when you don’t want a backpack making you all sweaty. I think you’ll like the Helikon SERE pouch. Plenty of organisation, multiple carry options 500D Cordura and it’s about $40 (£20-£30) from memory. And no freaking Velcro!! The Grayl BottleLock Hip Pack looks fantastic.

I have been using the Fjallraven High coast pocket for about a year and love it! It comes with a sling, has a belt loop, and multiple attachment point to lay it out however you want to carry it with plenty of space for everything needed. Only downside is they put an absolutely massive long bundle of tags on the inside that make most of the space useless without cutting them out like i did

I've been using Helikon-Tex Bandicoot since march 2022 and it is still in a very good shape. What could be useful here is some way to compress it when it is not fully packed. But still I can recommend this without hesitation. You can also take a look at smaller option - Helikon-Tex Possum.

Zac. Another informative video. Thank you. I have gone back to the old school hip/fanny pack for 2 reasons, mostly. 1: My stuff is wearing out the pockets on my older pants and I don't want new(er) pants to suffer the same fate. 2: I don't really like a lot of stuff on my belt. But I still want it easy to get to when I need it and a back pack is too big. Like walking the dog or shopping.

A good showing, thanks. Having used "Fanny Packs"(actualy true side waist bags) way back in the early 80s thru the early 90s while still 195lbs at 6'3", and again in my late 50s to my current age of 64 - now 280lbs and all that goes with that, one major issue I've had with these kinds of packs is that while off the body, they have copious room to put things in and are easily accessed. But once put on the body and they take the shape of the waist curve, that space is seriously diminished with items harder to insert and retrieve. And while worn, accessing most Zippers is often a struggle requiring both hands , one on the zipper, one on the bag at sometimes a weird angle. And what is now an issue is that with my smaller sized "Spare Tire" that has come with age, these bags are way to high under it making it hard to use them successfully too, so a slightly lower slung design would be preferable too. I felt this issue was just as valid when I was younger and skinnier. What I want and as yet haven't seen is one that compensates for these issues and is still not a military style "Butt Pack" in the end but rather a side waist bag. Would like any ideas and recommendations...

Just watched your fanny pack EDC gear review and I've got to say, it's inspired me to level up! I now sport the Pandemik EDC MaskPack. It's like a treasure chest strapped to my face, keeping all my essentials within sight. I've even mastered the art of propping my phone in the front pouch, turning any waiting room into a private IMAX experience. A tiny slit in the back lets me poke around locating gear with my tongue. Pretty sweet.

Along with the Mulepak Grande, I like the Sidecar. It has a divider in the larger zippered pocket, so at least there *some* room for separating/organizing. It also has a loop on the front, so you can carry something on the outside if you need quick/constant access to a small tool, pen, etc.

I found the Helikon-Tex Sere pouch as the perfect urban EDC pocket extending belt pouch. I can wear this one hanging lower on the belt as well, which looks and feels better under/below a t-shirt. Looks similar to the Tuff Possum one, but with organiser inside, and like I said, more ways to wear on the belt.

I'd go for the Tuff Possum. If I need more room, I take my sling. Yes it's loose but it also provides some anti theft options like lockable zippers and anti slash mash enforced fabric.

Great video, love all of these, but the waste pack would be my preference, so I can use it with work clothes as well as on the weekend with exercise or beach style clothing, snap it on and off and keep on truckin'. The belt ones would get in the way when driving for me, but all useful, as with anything, validation for having them all, haha. Thanks for the upload.

Good video, enjoy your channel. I agree with your thoughts in this video, best bag, Wandrd d1 fanny pack. Perfect size, in my opinion and when the mood strikes you can tuck the waste strap into a pass through in the back and rock it as a full on man purse clutch bag. Been using it for a couple of years now excellent quality and value.

Good video Zac. I have been wearing a hip pouch for several years to carry my IPhone in. My pouch is a Vanguard, and holds not only my phone, but my Surefire flashlight, a spare battery, a Mophie, and a couple ink pens. I still carry a wallet and a lot of EDC stuff, but the pouch makes it possible for me to carry my phone without scratching it up. If I couldn’t use a hip pouch, I would have to seriously adjust my wardrobe these days.
@guy3nder529
@guy3nder529 Год назад
I like sling bag because I like to think of them as a smaller backpack with 1 strap. Since I often carry backpacks on only one strap I find sling bags perfect. That's also why I go for the larger backpack style of sling bags. The ~15L size works perfect for what I might need throughout the day and having them tighter on my body than something like a messenger bag really helps with weight distribution. Other than that I like the concept of the hip pouch but I don't know how I feel about extending my waist circumference too much, and a lot of what I currently have on my belt/pockets are stuff I don't want to start digging around for.

I use a Hyperlite Mountain Gear Versa fanny pack almost daily for work (surveyor).

It's also highly water resistant being made of Dyneema. I really like it and definitely recommend it.

Fanny pack, Satchel, Messenger Bag, Sling bag, Backpack...whatever your jam is as long as you carry what you need for the tasks you are going to need them for. I have a Maxpedition fanny that I wear both as a sling and around my waist. its great for holding shotgun shells on the range or additional items when just out and about when you dont need to carry a water bottle or anything bigger. I also have a Helikon Tex EDC side bag. almost perfect.

compact slings are my go to because I am a wide boy and fanny packs just don't sit right 😂. I just picked up the alpaka metro sling and I have loved it so far!

I have a “skunk” bag that I love. It can be worn comfortably around the waist or over the shoulder. It’s locking, and even if you don’t lock it, it has a dual zipper system (to keep in smells for whatever reason…) which makes pickpocketing / getting into it if it’s off at the beach etc. less easy. (Although someone can obviously take the whole bag and cut through it if locked.) Capacity is not huge but the organization is decent, I love it and use it whenever my pockets aren’t enough but I don’t need a backpack. Thanks for another great review!!
@shrooman777
@shrooman777 Год назад
It’s specifically designed to also be a sling with a wider shoulder strap. Stays tight to me, very comfortable, and very easy to pull the bag around from back to side to front as needed. I also frequently clip a heavier insulated water bottle on the strap when over my shoulder and it’s a great easy way to carry that too. Doesn’t get in the way and I pretty much forget that it’s there.

Do all of these need to be threaded through belt loops or can you just sling them around your waist and go? Also, how long are the straps? Us big boys gotta know! Thanks for the great content!

The only issue I have with some hip/belt pouches is that you need a belt for them for them to be usable. I personally don't often wear belts or often pants that require a belt. I like the Patagonia one because you can tighten it to your side with the strap. I currently use the Evergoods Mountain Hip Pack for EDC nowadays (has a 3.5L capacity). It carries everything I like to have on me on a day-to-day basis and is comfortable while doing so. The biggest things I put in it are a med kit and a jewelry organizer. It also can tighten to your body which eliminates any swinging/dangling and centers the weight distribution too (which I assume the Patagonia can do as well). Evergoods also has a 2L sling bag I might reduce to sometime. This wasn't mentioned in the video, but I'd like to see some liter capacity comparisons if that's viable.

The Osprey Daylite waist pack is also an affordable option, and I like the added security of the hidden snap clip on the side, making a "snatch and grab" harder to execute. Osprey also offers their lifetime guarantee. It's worth taking a look at.

I’ve also used the Bandicoot on some fly fishing trips. You can remove the waist strap and run your sternum strap through the back from your backpack. And allows you to have easy access to items you need without taking off the backpack.Also gives you a spot to attach items like forceps and a handheld radio

Not only for expanding pocket carrying capacity, but the roomier ones can be employed for off-loading weight from a backpack. To complement my 30L vest-style pack carrying bulky lighter items, a 5-10L lumbar pack for water carry and other small heavy items works well for day or overnight use. No always-out-of-adjustment-and-flexibility-limiting hip belt. It's like independent suspension for your torso!

I got the Tomtoc sling bag a few weeks ago and i totally love it dude, not going to lie. The wife won't tolerate me having a fanny pack lol she will allow the sling bag though. To be honest the sling bag is a better size for me to fit everything i need, a few tools, headphones, power bank, notepad, boo-boo kit, sunglasses, phone, keys etc. I can not sing it's praises enough. Love the show by the way 😎

mtw mini fanny is what i edc in casual setting. many different ways to wear it and its very discrete. if i work with my hands a lot then i would definitely prefer tuff possum. nothing is more awesome than reaching for your gears without even looking at the fastest speed and comfort.

Hi Zac, what battery pack was that in the Bandicoot? Nitecore? I’m looking at purchasing it for my EDC/Backpacking. Any chance you could give a yay or nay on it?

I use a Gregory fanny pack for when I go fishing. I can carry most of the tackle/gear I need for a quick trip to the lake or river.

I've got 2 sizes of the Hill People Gear Belt Packs but I always wear them as slingpacks. I have 2 sizes because I have a bad tendency to overload them. I tried a couple other brands but the HPGs handle conceal carry better than any others I've tried. All of them require compromises but the HPGs work best for me.

I would love to see you review the Eberlestock Bando Bag. I have been considering picking up this waist pack for a while but am waiting for a review I can trust.

I actually carry the Bandicoot every now and then when I need to carry something more than just stuff in my pockets but less than my big-ish edc backpack. However, I usually carry it over my shoulder like a bandolier, not as a fanny/hip pack.

I do the cross body method because it's smaller and more convenient to carry, access, and take on and off than a backpack which is always on your back. And having it loose lets me move it out of the way, whereas having it worn on my belt or around my waist has less on the fly adjustability, and is uncomfortable on my waist after a while. Thanks for the review, I've been looking to upgrade to something with more internal organization and more durable materials

Good video! Maybe an option for conceal carry, or field testing some waistpacks with people/friends

The Helicon Tex SERE pouch is like the Tuff Possom pouch, for the person who likes organization and options.

I use a casual hip pack bought from Aliexpress. I never looked back at it, it is being my favourite.

I use a Badlands fanny pack for deer hunting. It's a fanny pack with shoulder straps and has a wire inside of it to keep the shape. This is for warmer weather were I don't have to carry extra clothes. It even can fit two water bottles in the side packs. In the 90's I used to use a fanny pack for mountain biking. I would go on fifty mile rides in the mountains. This also had shoulder straps and actually had two water bottle carriers built in. I don't remember the name of it now I go on maybe ten mile bike rides in the town I live in plus I'm older and do more things rather than just ride my bike all the time.

Zac, trying to decide between the Forager and Forager Mini. I've rocked hip packs in the past but I'm really not looking to jump back into a large, very noticeable hip pack. I'd basically be using it to get the stuff out of my pockets (wallet, keys, knife, lip balm). Would the Mini be the trick here if you're looking to keep the hip pack really low key?

The right size hip pack that I found so far is the Helikon Tex Possum. Smaller than the Bandicoot so it's less weight tugging at your waist and it's small enough to side carry on your waist. I find that the Bandicoot sticks a bit farther out from the body and difficult to have at your side. I have a tier system that has a pocket organizer that can go into the hip pack. The hip pack can go into my daypack(12L) or my EDC work/get home pack(20L) without having to move items between packs.

The Enigma (with Sport Belt) is the ultimate hip pack. But Hill People Gear is always solid too. I’ve used one of those generic thin passport holder fanny packs as an extension of my pockets to carry a few things since it’s be easy to carry without drawing extra attention.

I have to say the Fjallraven High Coast Hip Pack is almost identical to the Patagonia bag, but just much better, one extra pocket, internal pocket, less straps, higher quality. However it is also a smidgen heavier and 1,5 liter instead of the patagonia 1 liter, to me they feel about the same size though.

Recently bought a Fjallraven High Coast hip pack, it's a small pack but it can still fit a big phone. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

The Vanquest Dendrite should definitely have been on here! It comes in 2 sizes and works great as both a fanny pack and a cross body sling bag

Yeah of all the fanny packs I've owned or seen, the Dendrite Large is my current favorite. Been rocking it for the last year with no complaints. Fit & finish is great. Would buy again.
