  • The Vertx Overlander is a large 45 liter pack that is designed as a bridge between the smaller EDC packs Vertx is known for and outdoor/hiking packs. While this pack still falls short of a true multi-day backpacking backpack, it is ideal for a SHTF scenario or get home/bugout to carry large loads more comfortably over long distances.

    I just want to let you know how much I appreciate you and your channel. I came across you doing research for a video I wanted to do. On a truck first aid kit for landscaping professionals. I started building FAK. And figuring out what I don't have. Well today I cut my fingure really bad assembling some broad head arrow tips. I was using supplies I had just purchased to patch it up before going to the urgent care for six stiches. Without you and your channel I wouldn't have had the gauze wrap that I used.

    I carry a Daniel Defense PDW in this exact bag absolutely everywhere I go. I own too many vertx bags, but this one and the gamut checkpoint are my definite favorite!

    Great review... Was definitely looking at this Overlander when it came out and the Gamut Overland (V2 packs) got price discounted. Like the all over Velcro loop fields inside. Always wish they could expand a bit deeper... Gamut 2.0 is very narrow/shallow.

    The locking zipper is nice if you have kids that’s the main reason I love it

  • @maximumburgo4961

    Another application for the CCW section that can be locked, from a Medic/Rescue standpoint is you could velcro drugs down in there and Tag tie that section so as you know if it has been accessed and date the section for what ever is going out of date.

    I am looking for a pack or some other storage device for a home fire-aid kit. Th mystery ranch looked good but the price was out of my budget. Any suggestions?
    Thank for sharing. You are a wealth of knowledge and one of my new favorite channels.

    What would you recommend as a true back country pack? I’m revising my get home bag and this bag has peaked my interest.

      Ja leider... Die Händler haben nur Restbestände und holen das neue Zeug nicht... Hab schon lange mit Recon Company geschrieben. Es gab mal die VertX Hosen bei Amazon, direkt aus den USA. Von deren Website kann man auch nicht direkt ordern nach DE, Support meinte auch dass die kein International Shipping machen wollen weil sie ja Händler haben. Also wenn wirds leider sehr teuer, schade

    Did you say the 11.5 fits in the CCW compartment or the main compartment? Or does it fit in both?

  • @diversie509
    @diversie509 Před rokem

    Doesn't seem to have much beyond a regular backpacking pack except for the bit of molle. The lack of different torso length options means lots of people are going to find it uncomfortable to wear when carrying any decent amount of weight. Their website also doesnt mention the weight of the pack itself.

    • @PrepMedic
      @PrepMedic  Před rokem +3

      I didn’t weigh it but it has ALOT of fabric and is heavier then a true back country pack. That and the lack of sizing/a true frame is why I won’t use it for actual hiking beyond a large day pack or heavy loadout for EDC/car

    • @PrepMedic
      @PrepMedic  Před rokem +3

      What it has that a lot of other packs don’t is the ability to modify how you carry items and how fast things are accessible.

  • @DiegoAstorga

    Are the waist straps removable? I have a pistol in a Roni SBR kit as primary weapon, will it fit in the ccw compartment?

  • @Doesntmatteratall
    @Doesntmatteratall Před rokem +1

    They missed the mark huge. They need to go back to the drawing board if they think a pack this size is viable with a way to attach a sleep system to the bottom. No one who rucks/backpacks uses a bag this big without a sleep system. High quality bag without enough input from the right demo

    Any chance you could make a review/how YOU use it vid on tactigami? I've considered it for my Gamit 2.0 but it seems overpriced and sort of gimmicky (less effective than alternatives). Do you actually like it?

    • @PrepMedic
      @PrepMedic  Před rokem +3

      I like it for specific things. The pouches, mag holsters and GO stuff is great. Not a super big fan of the gun holsters, I would go with a Velcro backed kydex if you can in that regard.

    • @save2a4all
      @save2a4all Před rokem

      ​@@PrepMedic Crossbreed Holsters also makes their Modular or Adjustable Retention Modular System (A.R.M.S.) Kydex + Velcro Holsters which work well on Velcro loop fields.
