Maxpedition Falcon II Get-Home-Bag Part I

Hi Folks, this is my new Maxpedition backpack. I have it outfitted for a short-term displacement period. This system will not address every situation, but it could prove valuable should I need to abandon my vehicle in a remote area, sleep in the woods or walk a long distance (i.e., 2003 power outage that cascaded from Canada and into the North Eastern part of the United States, or the 2014 ice/snow storm that left thousands stranded). This pack is not a full-blown 72 hour bug-out-bag and it is not for everyone. It is not for ultra-light travelers, nor will it meet everyone’s needs. Kindly design your pack to meet your own personal needs. Since this video, I have switched from the Fallkniven F1 to the S1. I also added reflective para-cord ties to the outside of the pack for increased visibility and Eneloop batteries. This set up is not for bushcrafting, camping or weekend play. It reserved for emergency purposes only. Enjoy.
