    Received mine today and wanted to thank you for the suggestion. This will meet my needs and is a good sling bag. I'm a new user of them and find the feedback you shared accurate. They did change the clip on the black one so it no longer has the issue with slack in the strap. Glad to be a part of the battalion.

    I personally would purchase these especially as EDC like you did. For me, I don't enjoy cargo pants or jeans and what not, so storage is extremely limited with my pants. Having a sling bag makes things alot easier and plus I can specifically add things for certain scenarios. Thanks for great ideas. Perfect pricing. As always, thank you Battalion leader

I used It for a vacation as I walked around in the battalion sized museum rooms in France. It has nice features like a magnetic clasp and slash proof material … which I liked … thank you !

    I’ve had the black/red tomtoc EDC Sling Bag for over a year now, such a great bag. Perfect for carrying my Fujifilm camera and essentials.
    I recently ordered the Gray 7l / 14 inch sling and it seems perfect for my needs! They make such great products.

    The Tomtoc is something I’ve been considering for awhile. Always have the issue of the sling being too big then it gets overloaded for no reason other than let’s fill the space with some other gear I may need lol. The tomtoc is a nice compact slim bag that looks like it would be put to good use. Battalion!

    I prefer the Roaring Fire waist/sling pack because of the quality and different options you can do with it. I use that for backpacking for EDC/Medical items plus away from camp. Maybe for a small hike if I didn’t want to bring my EDC bag. For everyday I normally have cargo pants/shorts with plenty of pockets.👍🍻🥃

    The other day, about 2 weeks ago, I had to do the yearly Car Plates thing, which required an inspection, and the next day, I had to have an oil change done, just my luck, more needless $$ to spend. As I leaving the vehicle, I was think to myself that I did not have an actual survival bag, (been meaning to build one) but I had my BUGOUT in the truck, my first aid kit for range use, only think I had was my murse that use to take to work. So I grab that and and put one of the trama kits in it. I think this would make a great EDC bag, when needed. I will be looking to this. Great review and great information.

  • @RossClanUSA

  • @OnusBones
    @OnusBones Před 2 lety +1

    My own EDC bag is a belt pouch. It has two zippered compartments big enough for a smartphone, plus another outside pocket that could also fit a smartphone, but I will most likely keep a USB power bank in mine. There's no key clip, but each compartment has a slit compartment within it. Unlike a sling bag, it is always attached once I've put it on.
    Any member of the battalion should appreciate that box; I know I would. It would be great to contain the heavier stuff that people keep in their car trunks.

  • @Crafty.Veteran.Survival

  • @johna6291
    @johna6291 Před rokem +2

    The sling bag stands in an interesting niche of carry bags. They seemingly stand for minimalism- because if you sling any more than that, you’ll find out how unstable and swinging they can be, if too heavy. I wouldn’t trust one with even a middle load-out where body balance is an issue. But there is much to be said for a light on the body sling, if you can operate out of it. If you need to carry more, and therefore need a more stable carry- but still need something light for athletic reasons, I’d suggest the packable back-pack, Venture Pal. Cheap, tough, reliable. Great video, Marine X, much obliged!

    Been browsing for pouches waaay too much lately, when I realized what I actually need is a small sling.
    Maybe I'll get a pouch or two, or more than a few. But that will come later.
    Happy to find this video, and they have made an upgrade with X-pac material, and orange poppin interior wich I ordered!
    And finally!! the xpac version has a minimalistic version of their logo, not the billboard on the side!
    Good video!

  • @NazwanJamal
    @NazwanJamal Před 2 lety +3

    I have the black one. Using it for nearly 4 months and it's very useful. As u said, the downside is the plastic holder for the strap. I end up using velcro tape/fasteners to hold the strap together as they will slip out too easily with the plastic holder. This is my 1st sling bag and I found it quite robust, comfortable, and spacey. Caught in the heavy rain several times and all my items inside this bag were in a good condition.
    Well, this tomtoc EDC sling bag is something to be considered. Besides the very good build quality and material, the price is way more cheaper than the other branding product. Very nice videos, my friend, and cheers from Malaysia. 🙂🙏

    Thanks for sharing. Good vid. Funny thing is I’m laughing when I saw the red and black lumber Jack shocker because I have one. I also laughed when I saw the bag because I carry a small sling bag when I go running or trail running. Please check out the little recognized brand called H.T. Highland Tactical. Mine has molle on the face of the bag with multiple pockets. It’s roughly 12 or so inches long. It appears to be a little thicker than your bags. So it may not sit as flush to your body. I usually run across the bags in various stores. Cordura fabric as well. The price is EXCELLENT…under $20 usually. And yeah that excess strap on bags bugs me too. If you choose to add a strap keeper to it if better quality I can see that. I did on another bag. Hancock Fabric or Joann Fabrics is a great resource for preppers. Sometimes I’m the only guy in there. Lol. And ….battalion. Lol. Take care.
