Nice review and description of what you carry in the Alpaka Vertex pouch. Alpaka does make some lovely products and I have a bunch of their pouches, HUB accessories, and the Elements Backpack. That backpack has some of the most comfortable straps ever. That small plastic D ring at the bottom on the exterior is for attaching a stabilizer strap when this is carried as a sling. I bought that stabilizer strap too for another sling that I have. For this Vertex Pouch, Alpaka were heavily inspired by the Evergoods CAP2, though they did improve it in some aspects. So, a job well done.

I appreciate a pastor discussing this technique because most people assume that pastors have no troubles maintaining focus or clarity of vision. But they have feet of clay (or is it brains of clay?) just like the rest of us. “Morning pages” is a simple concept: write 2-3 pages of whatever thoughts, ideas, or concerns come to mind at the start of your day. That’s it. Chad describes the technique in the video and discusses its benefits but you may have missed it because it’s such a simple-yet powerful-tool to give you focus because it gets out most of the distracting monkeys jumping around your mind. If you want to learn more, there’s a chapter in The Artists’ Mind by Julia Cameron.

I journaled throughout most of my military and Civil Service careers and oddly, as time passed in my retirement years, I guess I abandoned the practice.

Seeing such a high price just forces me to look for another alternative bag even though I am a big Data Crew user. Just a little sad since this company started my deep appreciation for EDC. I hope data crew releases something a little bit more on the budget side as another option, I know I would be more than happy to support that.

I have a couple of their pouches and the stitching and everything is extremely well done.

I would carry my normal EDC items in it. Knife, flashlight, pen and also my new digital compact camera. Trying to take more photos everyday and get off my phone.

I can afford a bag like this financially. If money is not a problem, sure - buy whatever you want. Most of the new brands and bags nowadays are way overpriced, tools and knives too. Personally I find more joy watching and finding something new that has good quality and reasonable price. I just bought Tomtoc 3.5L aviator sling to use on my recent trip to Japan. It’s about $50 and it has almost the same functionality, and looks great in my opinion. Speaking of Japan, they have tons of great looking bags that are made in Japan, they are all priced crazy high just like this sling too. I can afford them but I choose not to, way too expensive for what they are.

What I would carry in this pouch Magic the Gathering decks, if you play I would have 2 Commander decks and some dice in my Small fry pouch Data crew what-a-slider filled with tech like chargers, battery bank, adapters A carabiner attached to hold my blender bottle I think the price of the bag is very much out of my budget and I would very much love to pick this up because I feel that it would hold my items safely and securely. Seeing such a high price just forces me to look for another alternative bag even though I am a big Data Crew user. Just a little sad since this company started my deep appreciation for EDC. I hope data crew releases something a little bit more on the budget side as another option, I know I would be more than happy to support that.
Well said. Thanks for watching!
I was born in 1980 too, and my grandfather also was in ww2. We are from Oklahoma. All that to say, thanks for this video it reminded me of him and the things he had. I have his tool box with his name hand etched in cursive on the metal lid. Craftsman of course.
Very nice. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your service! I was fortunate to spend four years at Penn State on an Air Force ROTC scholarship and eventually found myself liking the Service so much, I made a career of it. Are you still able to shop at AAFES? If so, you can save a whole lot of money on your Leatherman, Benchmade, and many other EDC purchases. My Leatherman ARC cost me just 153.75 through AAFES when they were having a sale. Enjoyed the video
I was able to get the same deal! $153 for the Arc was a killer deal. I wasn’t willing to pay full price for it but at $153 it was worth it.
Went looking for a benchmade mini bugout order a full size by accident(returned) then stumbled upon the mini pysop(purchased) and the mini corgi(also purchased) 😅😅
Nice!
U just gained a new subscriber :)
Thanks for subbing, welcome aboard!
Love my bugout
Me too. Don’t get the hate directed at it in the linked community - but whatever!
That chain is for the pocket watch and the bullet is a .45 acp hard ball.
Thanks for the info!
@@LandmanEDC anytime
I had a great uncle in the 95th. He DOW on 14 April 1945. He saved his unit commander and earned the bronze star for it.
Wow! Greatest Generation!
I would use it to carry my first aid kit pouch, charging cables, power bank, phone, bandana, and custom fixed blade box cutter. It's a great looking bag and being 100% made in USA is a big checkbox for me because I try to support America made as much as I can. I think the quality control at Data Crew is next level. I have a couple of their pouches and the stitching and everything is extremely well done. The price for me is major hump to overcome, but if it's a buy it for life type of bag it would be worth it. thanks for a chance. nice breakdown of the bag too.
You just earned second place on this giveaway. Great comment. If the first place comment doesn’t claim his, this one is yours. Thanks for watching!
@@LandmanEDC oh wow, thanks!
I’m a huge data crew fan, I have several T shirts I wear all the time, patches, RE’s, reaper danglers on my backpack, stickers, etc. I want that snack time sling bad but I cannot justify $275 for it. I would carry my normal EDC items in it. Knife, flashlight, pen and also my new digital compact camera. Trying to take more photos everyday and get off my phone. I ended up getting an Alpaka elements tech case mini which is smaller than the snack time sling, but more affordable at around $45. They have a bigger one for $80 and a max for under $100.
Alpaka’s stuff is awesome. I need to do more videos on their stuff. Thanks for your comment!
Hi thanks for the review. Did you notice any green tint from the FC13s?
Not at all. It’s pretty balanced, on the very cool side at around 5000K. I do see a little blue and purple tinge around the halo of the light spread but that’s all. Thanks for your question!
I love the bag. Until i seen the price.
Completely understand
That’s not G10. Guess you didn’t read the listing. Big shock.
Hey thanks, guess you didn’t read the other 3000 comments
The price is nonsensical. It makes no sense. I usually carry in my sling: galaxy buds pro, fisher space bullet pen, small notebook, wallet, keys, joby one tripod, and victorinox mini champ. If I am out all day i will throw in a powerbank and cable and a snack. My sling is also the collection bag for my daughters things as they fall on the floor, jajajajaja.
Gotcha! I agree the price doesn't make much sense - UNTIL you factor in super high-grade materials and Made in the USA. Still, out of range for some. Appreciate your comment!
Great video! Could you please share what is the specific pen refill model? Thank you.
Sure, depending on the pen, I use the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 medium refill. I think in the specific shorter Tactile Turn pens like the one in the video that they come with a Pilot G2 Mini 0.7mm refill. Thanks for your question!
K have a small first aid kit in an altoids tin in my fanny pack.
Nice!
Awesome video. I believe that I have seen the first watch band, but can’t say the brand. Interesting to see what he carried. Thank you for yours and your grandfather’s service.
Thanks for watching!
I can afford a bag like this financially. If money is not a problem, sure - buy whatever you want. Most of the new brands and bags nowadays are way overpriced, tools and knives too. Personally I find more joy watching and finding something new that has good quality and reasonable price. I just bought Tomtoc 3.5L aviator sling to use on my recent trip to Japan. It’s about $50 and it has almost the same functionality, and looks great in my opinion. Speaking of Japan, they have tons of great looking bags that are made in Japan, they are all priced crazy high just like this sling too. I can afford them but I choose not to, way too expensive for what they are.
I agree! Thanks for your comment!
