Vložit

- *UPDATE* The material of the gear in this video IS water treated and fire retardant because it is Milspec material. Did not know at the time of the review** Preparedmind101 reviews what is some of the best USA handcrafted bushcraft gear out there from The Hidden Woodsmen. Everyone knows I'm a gearhead, and I haven't gotten a good new bag since the Rapdom T311. But tactical bags and backpacks are overkill sometimes for a quick trip in the woods. You need a good Haversack and associated bags and pouches. The Hidden Woodsmen has you covered! Made from 1000d/500d Cordura and milspec webbing and buckles, made one at a time by hand and built to last a lifetime...this stuff is great! And the BEST part is, it costs a lot less then you would expect. Reviewed are the Haversack, Fire Bag, Tinder Bag, Belt Pouch, Tool Pouch, and the Laplander folding saw sheath. Everything is made to order in your choice of colors and options.

Very nice bag!
wow these guys know what they are doing! great vid as always chris. have a good day.
Thanks Chris nice has always.
the Jessica of haversacks! that is a big award to live up to.
Great EVAL Chris
Thx !
Great products with a modern twist. Also at an affordable price.
Just ordered one in multicam. Thanks Chris.
I love his work. I have had his haversack for awhile and it is fantastic. I have a couple of things in order and after seeing the review I might have to order a few more.
The Hidden Woodsman gear is awesome.
Great vids man , keep it up
Made in the USA is a must for me. love the sack. going to check out the site. thanks.
Great Review ~ Thanks for sharing cool kit!
Got one of these a few months ago, and some of his other small kit bags ... truly awesome quality at any price, and even more so for the price he charges! May be a little small for some people, but it's a haversack, not a rucksack ... learn to use it and you'll love it!
Also have to say, this guy's customer service and communication is top notch - he wants to deliver a quality product to you that is what you are wanting, not just get your money and send you something off his shelf. I've never recommended a seller on here before, but I have no issues recommending The Hidden Woodsmen )
I'm for sure going to check him out. Thanks Chris
Chris Love your reviews been watching for awhile now and have bought a bunch of stuff! My 7 yr old son was watching you the other day and asked me what that thing is around your neck that looked like a pipe ! I told him it was an electronic cigerette ...He responded " HE SMOKES CIGS ? NASTY" Sorry man hard habit to drop ! good luck with that
I have just ordered a batch of gear which took only $143,00. Malcolm is a great guy, so is communication.
I recieved my gear this week and they are faboulus. I highly recommend to get every single of the product line. Compare to prices, it's a total a steal.
Yes. ..I know the thing on the back is for an axe now. I didn't even notice it til that point. I hate saying that on video because now 300 people are going to tell me what it's for before looking in the comments section.
BTW...that strap on the back is for an axe...;)
Is there a hidden woodsman website?
Hey Chris, that strap on the back is for.... only kidding. I like it... fair price! Congrats to Woodsmen for not going all artist, craftsman high cost crazy on this one.
***** someone needs to tell him to get on Google plus as well because many of us don't use Facebook.

If you check out his merch on FB, you'll see that you can get leather straps for the haversack.
Scotchgard would water proof it, and for just a couple of bucks. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That tree sperm is cottonwood. Collect it and make a tinder bundle out of it! LOL This haversack looks perfect, and being hand made should be twice the price. I really like the smaller bags that go with it. One neat package. Thanks for showing it.
I dont know if you read comments (or did anyoone told you this) but that "loop" on the back is made for ace or hawk :)
Oooo, Chris used the J-word! It'd be a guaranteed purchase if I was into bushcraft, or even just looking for a nice, solid bag for similarly tough usage.
The price is right for sure and good quality materials from a genuinely good guy, but the stitching looks literally all over the place.
I love sacks, but I kayak fish/camp alot so I need all interior bags to be dry bags.
When I Orderd one of his Tarps I also got a haversack and man that thing is awesome anyone who gets any of the Hidden Woodsmen line of gear will not be disappointed
Decided I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I recently got the ranger green haversack of Malcolm's and I consider it to be the best most useful piece of gear I have. Excellent quality. Made for a lifetime. Totally recommend any of his gear to everyone. I was so totally surprised at how well this haversack is holding up for the way I use it. Final thoughts? WORTH THE MONEY!!
Cool review Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Top-notch review Brother. Tough to beat a well made piece of handcrafted gear!
thank you so much chris. awesome review.
Just now seeing this vid, and I REALLY dig his site! Very nice stuff, a good selection, and I have seen more expensive non-handmade factory produced stuff. lol Very awesome indeed! Unfortunately after this vid the wait time will probably be astronomical! lol Thanks for pointing out an excellent product by an apparently talented craftsman! Now to decide what to buy first... lol
Update: The Haversack is now $80. Still a good buy.
the back strap could be for a knife sheath with a clip
Best Line Of The Video... "I Looked Like A Teddy Bear Mauled By A Pit Bull" LMAO.
More true words have never been spoken! Lol
Nope. Why would I do that? Tell him yourself. You are a big boy.
cottonwood trees gets its name from such things
I have one of Malcom's 10x10 tarps in coyote ripstop, several small bags in hand and I have one of his Cordura 9x9 tarps on the way with a matching French trade bag and a few other items well. I can't say enough good things about the quality of his gear, simply amazing stuff! Better than that, Malcom is a great guy as well. He has my business forever!
Looks like some rock solid gear, for a great price. Great video, even if you were covered in tree jizz
just ordered one yesterday from Malcom in ACU camo with a tinder bag, D rings and the fire pouch. I asked to make a pad for the strap and a extra long strap, cannot wait to get it
Well his prices frickin' skyrocketed in the last two years. This bag is going for $95 right now. You might as well get Vanquest or Maxpedition for the money. Even the small pouches are outrageous. I wish I had seen this in 2014 so I could have gotten a good price.
I've been using the Haversack for some time and it has become a constant companion in the woods. I'm about ready to review his French Trade Bag which is a slightly smaller haversack with a twist. You should check out his tarps as well.
Malcolm is awesome to deal with. As long as he's in business he has a customer in me! You can't beat it.
Can you give more information on the spool tool pleaseThanks
Looks like some great gear...
No seam binding? Cordura nylon frays eventually btw. Also, this stitching is early beginners level quality. Uniform stitching has alot to do with overall strength as equal pressure should be put on the whole seam. Lots of shaky stitching on all these products. I wouldn't be surprised if the tension is completely out of whack too. Hidden woodsmen, I would recommend a nice walking foot machine, and take the same amount of time and pride in your stitch as you do with your bag designs.
My wife had bought me a bag for my ipad and wallet from Fossil to get away from my butt bag i carried. Don't remember the price but it was more than $65.00. I saw how to wear haversack like a backpack but my straps are too short. That first Velcro slot on the front, would an I pad fit in there? Other pouches could be for wallet and glasses. Thanks for the video, the other bags look cool too. Did he have prices on his Facebook page or a list of the bags he makes?
I like every thing about it except the velcro would rather have zippers ,snaps , strong buttons, or magnets but sometimes you cant have everything at least velcro is lite
After buying one of the early haversacks I have ended up buying one of almost everything Malcolm makes, in some cases like the fire and tinder bag I have 3 or 4. Malcolm is great to work with and will do some customizing to his base designs IE he added a D ring (so I can clip my bear spray outside the bag with a biner) and a webbing loop for my Wetterlings. Something not mentioned here is the HEAVY water repellant coating and fire retardant properties of some of his products.
I am wanting one even more now! Haha
I still have a wish list with him for more stuff, just waiting to line up the funding. You won't regret a purchase from malcolm.
Paul Buikema that is great to hear! Instantly fell in love with his products!
The extra strap on the back is probably for a hatchet or hawk
Good review of some great equipment. I hope he besides to make an 8 x 8 1000 denier tarp. Thanks for sharing.
That thing in the back is for a hatchet or camp axe
Just ordered a belt pouch
good vid and great stuff may have to pick up a belt pouch for slingshot carry
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to get some old world looking gear, without paying what most site are asking. I've already ordered several items from Malcolm (Eagerly awaiting their arrival). Thanks Again!
you gotta love cottonwoods lol
You should show your bug out bag or make new one to show us because you got a lot of new gear
it's for an axe, 301 & counting
ITS FOR AN AXE!!! ;) Just kidding. I read what you said and couldnt help it. I know you found this out already Thanks Chris.
This is a sweet @$$ pack!!! The quality seems top notch. I want one of these so bad now it's not even funny! I've been looking for a new small pack for everyday use and combined with a couple of those awesome little pouches, I think I have a winner! Thanks a ton for the video Chris!!!
for an axe
it's a hatchet keeper. Some how I doubt he is going to send all that to each person that order the sack. He might have done it for you because he knows of your exposure to the bushcraft public. I just have the feeling that if I order the bag I am going to pay for every different component.
The thing on the back is for an axe
Does he not have a website? I googled and found nothing. Seems like a nice product
Not at this time. Old Skool.
this bag looks sweet and made in the USA is a plus. however i am wondering what kind of shorts are you wearing they look really nice.
In the newest video right after this one.
Right after writing that comment I watched that vid hood on as well.
$65? That's cheap! I saw a CZcams on something similar and it cost way over $200!
I found something just like that at a garage sale for $1.
Wow, you sold me! Come payday, I might be sporting one.
I don't remember if this was said but how much was the actual bag?
60 bucks I remember.
It's for an axe..just kidding,awesome gear,you can really see the quality of work,going to check him out..love all the vids.
put your Jessica of fire starters and Jessica in your Jessica of haversacks. lol FTW
Can't. I am the post office sending it to Survival On Purpose. I think they are pissed at me for making half the video about the price. Just a gut feeling...
PREPAREDMIND101 actually no... I thought today was Friday. Crap.
PREPAREDMIND101
Well what can they expect charging 60 dollars for a flint rod in an aluminum tube? Ya, it worked great but it is just over priced.
It's that time of year when vulgar trees start ejaculating into the air -a revolting form of procreation. It hasn't started yet in my neck of the woods.
Good products and review.
Hey brother I just tried to email him but it won't work is there another way to get a hold of him ?
What size is the haversack?
Paying $100 for this bag? I don't think so. Nice bag but not $100. I think it is fairly priced at where it is now. But he does have some very useful other pouches and bags as well. The Laplander pouch is a long time coming. I have already made one for myself a long time ago. He does have nice work. You are getting quite the collection of Jessicas... lol
the max pedition bags are not that easy to work with

All his prices went sky high I think there's too much
2:52 top of your head. LOL
Axe loop
That thing on the back is for tree sperm repellant.
I believe you're dealing with cotton wood love. try riding a motorcycle with a helmet during cotton wood apocalypse. sucks ass. I feel your pain.
la volevo comprare ora che l'ho vista a te!!!!!!! non la compro più !!!!!!!!!!!!
Cottonwood lol
Ok sounds great. Can u send me the web site so I may buy that type of gear.you vids make a person think about how to keep ur shit tight. Thanks brother.
Dude, i like the review because i really like the bag. But you really should start using your gear for stuff besides making reviews. Everything in your bag is all shiny and clean. Trust me, after one night out in the woods the most will be black.
That way your reviews will be a lot more reliable.
Hutjeopdeheij wtf are you doing with your kit, holding it over a sooty fire? the only thing that turned black on my kit was the cookware. dayum son, take better care of your items. in 20+ years of outdoor adventure I have never had any problems. when I return I make sure I clean, scrub, oil or polish my gear.
Theyre wish fairies! Lol not tree sperm. But kudos brother love the videos!
