Hey..I've been watching your channel for a pretty long time I love your outlook on the outdoors I find myself watching your videos most nights before I head off to bed. I'm not one to comment but I thought I would this time so yeah your channel is great. I bought the v3 pocket bellows on your advice & it's a great little tool so thanks. I look forward to your next overnight adventure I'll be watching from far away in Scotland 👍

Nicely done Luke!!! One of the better bag reviews I've seen!!

[jameshill]

Good video. The tactical beard really works in this review. I like the range bag use. It is a little out of the box and makes things a little more interesting. Keep'em coming.

[jakeboss]

Hi Luke, I love this bag a lot. My main use for this bag is for packing my lunch and everything i put on my sandwich in small containers, for a long day hike, and set up camp for a afternoon. I have the Mobius 2.0. -Jake

Thank you for reviewing the Tolcat 2.0. I enjoyed watching a lot! Jeremy @ Vanquest Team

[stellarpod]

Thanks for the review. I tend to agree with your assessment of its usability. It could be a nice solution to one particular use though. Although I've never used a Vanquest product, I do use a similar shoulder bag, a Maxpedition Fatboy Versipak as a modern rendition of a *possibles bag*, when blackpowder hunting. It is a perfect compliment to the modern inline blackpowder rifle. My Fatboy affords ample room for all of the items peculiar to blackpowder shooting, such as caps, quick loaders, patches, cleaning supplies, rifle-specific tools, etc. The Vanquest product appears to be trying to compete with the Maxpedition product line and would likely do well in this role too.

this bag would also make fa great trauma first aid kit

That's a fancy tactical purse you got there. :)

I'm still waiting for you to take the HPG Kit bag on one of your adventures. I have one and love it.

[JayWandersOut]

I use the Lula loaders and I don't know if I could live without it. Well, I guess I could but when I go shooting I like to shoot, not load magazines. One time I got home I thought I forgot it at the range so immediately ordered another but found it later. Now I have two but no complaints.

[timshull]

Great review good point on the CCW option. IMHO as far quick drawing your weapon bags sucks but the chance of having to do that are slim to none. But it only takes one time.I do like the way the 5:11 MOAB bags are configured for that.

[MrHowifeltersnatch]

My wife is going to love this for her range bag. She edc's a VSlinger full size bag with her chromebook and other essentials. I edc a Condor Ambidextrous Sling bag to work...ever do a review on that bag Luke??

[shinjiprofile]

OMG I've been waiting for this!!! But I use the Vanquest Vslinger for EDC its a a lot easier to use personally so i never leave it where ever i go. There are lots of types of sling bags hopefully i can get to watch reviews of those. +1 Nice video luke

[kolt]

Hey Luke, I have a video suggestion I think you and a lot of the fellow viewers will like and wish to see as well, Everytime I go out bushcrafting and backpacking, My meals are sort of bland, clif bars for snacks, mre's, mountain house for dinner and breakfast or ramen for dinner and oatmeal for breakfast, I would like to see a video of a lot of all the different foods you like to eat when out backpacking/bushcrafting, ive seen every overnight adventure and you always have a super diverse range of foods you eat, Please read and think about it, love the vids, strength and honor.

[alexwbanks]

Great review and I always appreciate your honesty.

[danielthacker]

Nice pack. Also be thankful you get real mags, not the cut down ones we have here in California. Then again even those are a pain to fully load without the loader.

[Eric-ewjt]

Great review Luke... I was waiting for you to pull out a IFAK/Blowout kit cheers my friend

[jamesrowe]

I agree with you and it's nice to see a pistol in a video. Do you often carry concealed? and if so what is your go to carry gun? Love your vids keep them coming!

[dwjbakpaker]

I like the bag. I believe I could use it for a day carry camera bag, thanks

[redneckelmo]

I got the fox outdoors advanced tactical hipster & love it. The difference in it & this one is the CCW pocket zipper is on the front not the back so that might be a better fit for the ones that don't want the hassle this one has.

[nickjames]

Is that the arc'teryx belt that you are wearing? Been looking at it and wondering if it's a good one! Thanks Luke
