I just played this whole video but didn't see any of it. Putting a screen protector glass on my new phone...Your chill voice was very helpful in the background in keeping me from throwing my phone as those air bubbles are HELL!! Thanks- Love your videos - my go to when I need ANOTHER new bag. Peace.

Now that fanny packs are socially acceptable again I might just bust out all the ones I stashed in 1991. 😂

Great review. A couple of things:
1. The king of backpack-substitute hiking fanny packs is Mountainsmith. *Great* suspension system, for a start.
2. You didn't talk about my absolute deal breaker. If you're someplace with pickpockets, the buckle placement is crucial. If it's centered (i.e. equal length straps), with the bag in front of you the buckle is out of your control; with the buckles in front, the bag itself is out of your control. That's why I'll only use bags with the buckle at the side (like the Vanquest) so I can have the bag and buckle both in front. That configuration also makes it easier to use as a sling.

My simple bag of choice is the Ulvö Hip Pack Medium. I also added a Tom Bihn key leash to the mesh pocket. The buckle design really sold me, with the attachment to the side and not on the back. I wear it hip style so it doesn’t slide around on my shoulders or get in the way of my backpack.

mate, so glad you covered fanny packs. I'm convinced, this is, in my opinion, one of the best " you get to your travel destination, and use this as your day bag/daily carry". So many options! and if you need something larger, 10L sling. Brilliant!

[JesseDriftwood]

This is a very helpful! I’ve been travelling with a Jansport Fanny pack that I found at a thrift store over a decade ago. Time for an upgrade!

Purchased a vintage waist bag for floating or tubing. Found it really handy for hiking as well. Can carry my miniature tripod in there and a small snack. No need to to remove my backpack anymore.

I don't see it reviewed often but the Janji Multipass Sling has been my favorite fanny pack/sling bag. It has a stabilizer strap if you are running/biking/playing soccer, and a unique system for larger items.

Got the lululemon belt bag for my last trip. Like everybody else. It was awesome. I will never travel again without that or some iteration of a fanny pack 🙌🏻

[OdinsRavenwood]

Nothing is better than a " Mountain Blaze " Fannypack! Rated number 1 form Appalachian trail thru hikers !!

[KarenPAlexander]

Pacsafe is awesome and never wears out! i have used one for over 9 years and it looks amazing still.

[SurvivalReview]

I know this is old but the Le Petit Derriere from TB is cool looking too. Thinking of trying it, but TB stuff can be kinda THICC

[CrispyTuckley]

Huge fan of the Evergoods MHP 3.5L. I can use it as a fanny pack or a crossbody sling and it carries A LOT. Another great video, sir!

[cullateral]

Your vids are always a treat. I feel like batman when rockin my patagonia 1L bumbag

I love my NZII 8 zip fanny. 20 bucks on amazon, bang for the buck and they have a larger variant with the exact same layout.

[seechangenyc]

So happy to see you! Which would you recommend as sling (not obnoxiously large)....interesting, no Bellroy? Nothing funky. Only wear black, minimal aesthetic, no dangling straps, no floppy, holds its shape. No big guys. Urban (older) gal. I own both Trakke bags. No more waxed bags. No loud. No bulky. What say you? Top 3 (even if not mentioned). Many thanks for your wisdom...

[zepp]

I love your personality, and your funniness. Loved watching your review :)

[NaturalMystic]

The Vanquest Dendrite Large is also my favorite fanny pack. Had mine for a year or so and it's been awesome.

[MarcValle]

REI actually made a decent one. Co-op trail 2. Holds the essentials. Easy to use. No unnecessary bulk.

[ArnauViaM]

Love to see you back with energy! And I hope you are well since you keep mentioning that your life when down
