Duffel bags are a stable of most people's travel packing needs. They work great in vehicles as they're lightweight, somewhat flexible, hold a bunch of stuff, and help you stay organized. I get asked questions about various duffels in my Weekenderlander videos, so I figured I'd toss my main used ones in a video for you. Enjoy the duffel bags.

Top notch quality as always, Mike!
Thanks Kevin!
Been watching your videos and have been a big fan and subscriber (wear my LLOD hat daily and use my koozie weekly) for about 4 years and I’ve gotta say, I really love it when you do reviews like you used to. The off-road videos are okay but the reviews are where it’s at. Keep it up and hoping for more soon!
Haha thanks man. Some people wish I didn’t do reviews, others wish that was all I did. I love it when new people come to the channel and are all butthurt that I’m doing a review video, and they’re like “uh, this isn’t a review channel, go back to vlogs”
Always dig your stuff Mike!
Nice video! I love all your product reviews! I’m definitely going to check out the vertex 😁
Thanks! Yeah different bags for different uses.
Nice video, always good to have options when carrying gear.
Yeah, no perfect bag for every situation
Very cool overview. I bought a Base Camp Duffel a couple years ago on the recommendation of a friend. When it dies I’ll take a look at the Vertx. They have some features I’d really like to have. Appreciate the info!
Hey Mike great reviews as always, you have me sold on the Contingency Duffel 45L. I travel and deploy a lot for work so it will be perfect for me. I will be ordering one as soon as i get back state side!
Get a Big Daddy membership, they have great deals on Vertx. Also need to be aware of a big issue with this bag, the straps can't really handle weight. The straps themselves are strong enough so far but not the adjustment buckles, the straps slide right through leaving them at full length.
I agree with your assessment of the TNF duffel. I have a medium size one (I believe), and it is my covert "tactical bag". It works well because it is just a simple single space.
Great review as usual
I've had a Northface Basecamp duffel bag for over 25 years. It's been all over the world and it's been used HARD. When I purchased it, I had my doubts about spending a big chunk of money for a duffel bag. Today, ZERO regrets. I've gotten my money out of it and then some!
Yeah I’ve heard stories of them lasting forever!
Thanks for the review….I was going to get the North Camp Basecamp but changed my mind and got the Vertx Contingency!👋👋👋
Stage 5 Clinger holster hahaha hilarious man. Love it.
Man been looking for a duffel for a while this helps!
Ortlieb is legend in the cycling community for waterproof bikepacking and saddle bags. Top notch stuff.
Picked up the Olight Seeker II. Used the code.llod; got the discount. This is not your ordinary flashlight. Thanks
Hey Mike, great videos! I like the Vertx 👍. Could you make a video on gun etiquette on the trail following Colorado’s law, what permits are required, target practice, alternative self defense from animals, what animals you may come across. I can’t seem to find much on those topics pertain more to the Colorado area on CZcams. Thanks
Bento bag from Nomad Lane is the best! Especially the black color. Simple yet elegant, and very convenient.
I dig it. Thank you, sir! - when are you dropping the bolt gun greatness with @fieldcraftsurvival Glover?! 🙌🏼❤️
Mike, thanks for doing this! It has definitely saved me some headache!
Have you ever looked into the GoRuck Kit Bag? I would be curious about your thoughts vs the Vertx Contingency Duffel
Mike you have a outdoor store at your house man
Basically, haha
I think you just talked me in to buying one of those vertx duffles. I've got a pretty huge oakley duffle bag I've been thinking about upgrading.
I’m standing in line getting off a cruise right now with the 85L contingency duffel on my back. The backpack straps work great with 40lbs of stuff in the bag
That's the only strap configuration that does work well.
9:15 “A nice little, big area here” 😆 great review as always. My go to channel to find out what I need to waste money on.
Haha or hopefully not 'waste' it, but put it to good use!
Last Line Of Defense You’re right. “Waste” is my wife’s word lol.
Still eagerly anticipating the long range shooting video with fieldcraft!
Joshua Hahn I KNOOOOW!
Same!
Love my northface basecamp. feels like its gonna last a life time
I hear they last quite awhile!
I use rtic and it's solid for thr price. Very happy with my purchase but at the end of the day depends purpose and how much you wanna spend
That divider also folds down nicely so if you fully unzip the top the whole bag can become relatively flat.
Hey Mike, I need an EDC flashlight and I was looking at some of the Olights you've recommended and it doesn't seem like any of them are USB-C rechargeable out of the box. I have an embargo right now on buying any gadget that isn't USB type C because I wan't everything to use the same port for charging. Can you give any recommendations on USB-C tech so we can hopefully get the market moving in that direction faster?
Whaaaat?! Beanies back in stock!? You are my hero
pro trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Raphael Zion yea, I've been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)
@Raphael Zion definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself :)
I've never been this early to a video Mike! But love your content! Would love to see your review on the 5.11 range Master duffel bag. Different usage than what was spoken about in the video but just Curious.
I have a couple 5.11 bags and they're solid choices as well.
@@LastLineOfDefense overall not a big fan of 5.11 but their range Master duffel suited exactly what I needed so been looking at it as I've noticed no one else makes a range bag that fits what I need.
Please make a review on crye g3 combat pants in multi cam arid please
Though I am still getting plenty of service out of my 50y.o. classic military canvas top load duffel bag, it might be time for an upgrade.
Now you can put the axes and flashlights you reviewed in all the duffles!
Hahahaha.
I'm not gonna mess with ya..I know why you do reviews. I'll just watch the review videos late at night so I can fall asleep. Lol. Then I'll hit the thumbs up in the morning.
I definitely wanna see the Telluride to Ouray video. I'm hoping you ran Black Bear pass! I'm driving out there next summer from Florida to run that and other trails.
Haha review videos are my bread and butter - the adventure series came later and is really just a small (albeit fun) part of the channel.
Hey Mike I was wondering how much clothes do you think you could honestly pack inside the contingency duffel 45L ? At least a weeks worth ?
My two gripe with the duffle is the inside is not as roomy as I'd like. I don't use the main compartment pouches at all unless it's something relatively flat because otherwise I can't fit what I need to fit in there. I switched from a cheap $20 walmart duffle which was honestly great and held everything I needed, but it was cheaply made. Second gripe is I'm carrying a backpack already so I have the duffle slung over my shoulder and like that center grab handle duffles have to adjust if need be, but since center grab handle turns into the shoulder strap I lose that center grab handle.
Looking for wheeled duffel for pack and EDC carbine (28" or longer). Suggestions?
I'm curious about how that week went eating nothing but Mountain House.. lol
Haha wasn't too bad, a little salty.
@@LastLineOfDefense looking forward to seeing the video lol
Are they going to stock any other colors in the 2.0 deltas. Also. What shirt or flannel is that?
TNF duffle: bought one last year. Burly fabric, maybe too burly; when it’s cold, that fabric isn’t pliable, which makes it difficult to close/use. The stitching on the bottom wicks moisture into the bag - not ideal for snow, puddles, wet ground. I had to seam seal mine. Definitely better options out there for the money.
Mike, great video. I know this is old and the likelihood of you seeing this is very low. Im curious if you can help me with just 1-2 things. First, what size is the North Face bag? And secondly, do you think it could fit a simple medium size plate carrier (Spiritus 119) and helmet (MTEK Flux)? I don't need the pockets per say of the Vertx, and there are plenty of used TNF bags available online. Thanks!
What folding brace is on your honey badger?
I'm really wondering if the 45l contingency will fit two large 14 size snowboard boots at the bottom along with helmet, 2 sets goggles, 2 pair gloves, radios, bit of warm clothes or if I need to jump to the 85l. I'd prefer the smaller one if it fits everything
We subscribed!
Thanks guys!
@@LastLineOfDefense anytime!
Are either of the Vertx bags carry-on compliant on planes?
Savotta and unplug are the best imo
All the bags that you prasent can carry on with you to the air plam?
Is the contingency bag water resistant at all?
Can you review the Delta Stretch 2.0 please?
I just realized the fieldcraft survival duffle is almost identical to the north face one, can anyone confirm? Was it just rebranded?
I bought the 85L duffel to be able to fit my plate carrier, my pistol, my shotgun, and my first aid kit. I still have a slew of space and pockets for all my other shit!
It's a big bag for sure!
Surprised you don't have an Advanced Special Operator bag from RE Factor Tactical 😕
So many bags, so little time.
Mike if you don’t use the North Face duffel anymore can I buy it off you at a discounted price?😉
Vertx doesn't ship to canada :( So I used LAPG supplier
See if they'll send you a contingency carry on roller for review. 😁
What is the caliber and maker of your honey badger?
This wasn't the Honey Badger in the video, but the Honey Badger is only made by Q, and mine is 300blk.
You should try the yeti duffel bag I think it’s called the panga
I don't personally see a reason to spend twice as much money for the Panga vs the Ortlieb, for a bag that is smaller, doesn't have any extra features, and doesn't come in a color I want, haha.
You think the bag I recommend and can’t even pronounce, or even know if it’s still made, paid me? Haha what a dumb.
Not orange but ginger ! Well it is in our house with 3 red head kids and fox red Labrador !!
I like Ginger gear
@@LastLineOfDefense All hail the ginger, and Kawasaki Green lol
hey can i get an honest opinion about the syndicate slide? i currently have a g19 gen 4 stock but i want to get a red dot. i love the look of the slide and was going to just replace my current using that instead of sending it out to get milled. what do you think? i see it on optics planet and with your code it's like 525 after tax. and what do you think i should do about a red dot? trijicon rmr or do you recommend something else these days?
It's a great slide and an RMR is always a good choice.
@@LastLineOfDefense thanks man! good to hear some assurance. oh, also, i'm trying to decide on a flat faced trigger. through my professional google researching i've narrowed it down to Agency vs Fowler. do you have any strong opinions about this or another brand? i notice the Agency has that little lip at the bottom and the fowler doesn't. not sure if that matters. it's just tough for me because i won't get to try before i buy.
I'd like to see a dedicated video on what can fit in the contingencies gun wise. There's nothing on CZcams. Can an ar pistol with a 30, 20, 10 round magazine with optic fit? Will carbine with folding stock? Is a folding stock so wide that it catches coming out?
In this video there is a folded stock AR that gets pulled out.
20 rd mag with a small optic barely fits.
Honey badger? Hmm show me more
I’m looking for something that’s $70 or less and is high quality, durable and has multiple pockets. Preferably a shoe compartment too but that’s not as important
Yeah that 85L is more my size
certainly has places to put things
Mountain house review?
J80 vids coming?
J80, like FJ80, like FZJ80? Yup they're coming!
Why doesn't the vertx duffel 45l not have zippers on both sides? Seems wasted space
hate that TNF removed the handles from the top of the base camp, leaving only backpack straps and the side handles. makes no sense and gets rid of the most obvious way to carry it with your hands.
Doesn’t seem like you have purpose for that north face bag... what’s your price 👀
EDC update?
TNF Duffel ; Tough - Durable - Collapsable - Long Term Tough
I’ll check it out!
I like that 45L but I pack like a chick sometimes. How many days can you usually get out of that one?
I could fill it for a day trip, or it could sustain me for a week - though I typically pack to fill a bag, and just make it work no matter the duration, haha.
@@LastLineOfDefense wow, impressive I'm going to consider trying this out then. Thanks!!
Sooooo Vertex.
You should do a give away for that northface duffle
I do giveaways every month over on Patreon. ;)
The info on opticsplanet that says the orlieb big-zip is discontinued is not true. You can get it:
www.ortlieb.com/usa/big-zip+K1306
Vertex commercial?
You making more Tacoma patches ?
At some point, haha.
The new wrap on the truck deserves a new patch , just sayin’
That was my first Asian!
How was it?
The northface link goes to vertx. Lol
Ooops, fixed, haha
WHERE' S THE LONG RANGE SHOOTING VID!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH👿👿👿
You'll live!
@@LastLineOfDefense lol I'm just messing with you love you mike😬
Mr America gun channels are doing very well, so I don't think that's an accurate statement
BUT!
North face and Vertx link are the same lol
Shouldn’t be, try refreshing?
Last Line Of Defense the last link before your duffle bag description
Ooooops my bad, bad copy paste
Such a gear head. I am guilty myself.
I... I love gear
As long as vertx keeps giving you free gear, all of their products are going to be the “best” #ad
Lol, on a video where I literally talk about four bags from four different companies. Whiners gonna whine
I've been following you and providing countless likes on your videos for years - think back to your old prepping videos circa 2015(?). Look, I get it, you're sponsored now, but have you ever thought to go back to your roots and do honest, unbiased, unsponsored reviews or products that you AREN'T sponsored by (IE. VERTEX)? Once again to reiterate my point, I understand your sponsored, but what ever happened to "EDC Bag/Duffle/Truck bag etc. Reviews" that *AREN'T VERTEX*? They were FAR more enjoyable then to pimp out the latest bags the brand has to offer.
Warm regards,
A concerned subscriber
lol. Go back through my 200+ videos and count how many are vertx, not even hating or mad, just genuinely curious. I don’t actually have a single actual “sponsor” who just pays me to rep anything, but if you’re talking about getting products for testing and review, then Arcteryx, tactical distributors, 5.11, triple Aught designs, Magpul, Vanquest, SOG (to name a few) are all “sponsors”. This video showed 4 bags from 4 different brands, but as can be seen in the video only one of the 4 bags was anything more than a shell with a big pocket. Naturally being a “features” guy, I spent time talking about features, of which the Vertx bag was really the only one with any.

This *isn't even* clothing [ie. BEST rainjacket on market - vertex (2018)], pants, etc. You used to even review sog, vanquest, etc., (unfortunately never any 5.11 bags as you only stuck to the pants they sent to you). You should really use disclaimers like "the company has provided me these products to adv... i mean endor... i mean review" right up front, albeit most people can connect the dots, especially with 25% off code after code.
As previously stated, please do not take offense. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos for *years*, however, vertex after vertex, "best bag 2018... best bag 2019," tends to take away from the content.
I try not to show and use inferior products for the sake of variety. Since I get everything for free, I’ll use whatever works best. Make sense?
The Vertx Contingency has major flaws.
Address them
@@noizychild The straps suck, they're WAY too weak for the size and loaded weight of the bag. The rifle sleeve is too short vertically, an AR will fit but not with anything more then a small optic on it. For my application it's reversed, mine spends time on my passenger seat, but for the rifle scabbard to face me the long side pocket has to be against the seat back. It's still the best bag I have for my application, but it could be MUCH better if they'd thought it out a bit more. In particular the straps, that one pisses me off daily.
