[cjc5531]

Yes, I have but not all the time....

[mporganics]

"Do" you use is what I meant to say

[mporganics]

Great video's! What kind of water bladder to you use for your condor 2? Thank you

[cjc5531]

Thanks for watching...

[garrettzkool63]

[cjc5531]

Thanks so much for the comments and I appreciate you watching....

[supercooldude1953]

excellent video , well done, very informative...I'm new at this, so it gave me some good pointers thanks!

[ctcsurvivalkid]

great vid man!!! hey i was wondering what is the name of tht surefire flashlight?

[cjc5531]

@ctcsurvivalkid ..It is the Z2 combat light....Thanks for watching

[bushcraftbrothers737]

I really liked this video

[cjc5531]

bushcraftbrothers737 ...Thanks for watching....

[bushcraftbrothers737]

@cjc5531 i don't know if you though iw as sarcastic but i was not. i really enjoyed it

[cjc5531]

bushcraftbrothers737 ...Oh not at all thanks for watching I really appreciate it....

[TrinityRewind]

my pack doesnt have the black bottom, its the ACU  camo pack by the way

[kc8ard]

Cool, a local guy. I just purchased a vulture II. How has the pack held up so far?

[cjc5531]

kc8ard ....Are you local? My pack has held up great and I still use it....Thanks for watching....

[hanpsiew]

Just bought a Condor II. I am wondering what is the recommended maximum load (in kilogram) for this tough looking backpack.

[cjc5531]

hanpsiew ...I have never seen a load limit on the pack...sorry I couldn't help!!!

[shtfprepared]

Camelback motherlode 500 is better!

[OzClawhammer]

Great review...I'm getting one!

[cjc5531]

@OzClawhammer ...Thanks ..It is a great pack...

[afterthefox7]

free advertisement for the Maxpedition Company and you don't get paid, hahahaha

[shadeclark]

That was only a 270 degree view hahhaahha.

[greywhite]

Whooooooey boy listen to that wind howlin. Wow, beauitful scenery. Cant wait to escape this concrete jungle.

[cjc5531]

greywhite ....The wind was bad that day even with wind filters on couldn't get away from the sound. Snowshoeing is almost over for me and I can't wait....

[1deprat1]

Thanks for the great reviews. I am undecided about buying either a Condor 2 or the Falcon 2. Other than the larger size of the Condor, what other comparisons would you make. I can't seem to make my Sabercat quite take enough comfortably. I have seen the Falcon worn along with the Sabercat which might work. What are your thoughts?

Thanks so much.

[cjc5531]

1deprat1 ....I really like the Falcon II but since I made the modifications on my Sabercat with the LBE Y Military Suspenders it's my daypack of choice. You can go to my channel and check out the vid and judge for yourself but for me the suspenders made all the difference in the world. Hope this helps a little....Thanks for watching

[cjc5531]

I've had about 23 lbs. in the Condor and the Falcon before during day hikes that lasted a week each and they performed great. When this vid was made I couldn't tell you the weight in the pack...Any gearslinger larger than Sitka is becomes to heavy when you pack them out...Just too much for one strap with that kind of load...Or it could be just me...Anyway for me the Sitka on down is a comfortable pack....

[thekenner]

I may have missed this, but how do you feel about the load-bearing ability of the packs you review? About how many pounds are you carrying? Are the gearslingers comfortable?

[afterthefox7]

love the wind noise.

[allanRoberval]

nice pack !

[cjc5531]

allanRoberval ....Thanks so much

[neonightkiller]

Great vid, thanx  *!*

[cjc5531]

neonightkiller.....Thanks for watching.....

[Hordesthugz13]

falcon 2 or condor 2? for a survival pack or overnight to 2 night camping?

[cjc5531]

Hordesthugz13 ....I really like the Falcon II for the survival to overnight pack....More than one night I would do the Condor II...Thanks for watching...

[Hordesthugz13]

@cjc5531 Thanks! Awesome Review! I had another quicky question is the pack well ventilated for you're back? so you don't have a block of sweat just on you're back?

[cjc5531]

Hordesthugz13 ....Thanks...the pack really performed well for me during hot weather and I used this in the South as well. It's pretty well ventilated and you do get air movement around the pack but your still going to sweat, maybe not as bad. 

[Hordesthugz13]

@cjc5531 Okay cool thanks ha you always sweat with any pack I get that :)

[seekortry]

@Hordesthugz13 I am switching to the Condor 2 for a combined EDC and three day bugout bag. I plan to attach a medical kit on the left side, an FR-1 on the right side, and the map case on the back. I will keep a change of clothes in a bag which can be compressed with a vacuum. What I want to achieve is a bag which can carry my laptop, a few notebooks, and two to three text books. I am unsure if I can combine them to do this but I will at least try.

[cjc5531]

seekortry ....Sounds good I don't the labtop and the books will be a problem...Take care

[snakeboy9999]

get a damn wind shield for you're mic XD then I can understand you!

[Coldsteel27]

Which is Bigger the Falcon 2 or the Condor 2 ?? I need to go on 2-3 days camping trips..so ,yeah

[20GATE91]

@Coldsteel27 condor. You should also check out the vulture 2. Its huge! i have it but now i want the condor 2. :P

[trinityisawesome]

@Coldsteel27 Site says

Condor II can hold over 1950 cu. in.

Falcon II -1520 cu. in.

Don't know which is better though.

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

I like the bit when he opens the backpack...

[TheMetalJacket]

eBay

[zenmind]

Good vid...are the waist straps and chest straps removable?

[aimsuxdoggydills]

You gotta be kidding me, Expensive surplus.

[bakeee]

how much does this cost?

[cjc5531]

bakeee around 129.00

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

@cjc5531 - The Gerber LMF2 is a good knife BUT, instead of paying $100 for one, get yourself a Mora clipper; just as good knife for $10.

[wraprop]

So, which do you think is better...Condor II or Falcon II?

[csmitty101]

@wraprop personally i really think the vulture II is better than both. the space is amazing

[Melodic805]

Great review, is it me or are there two versions of the Khaki. The other version has tan zippers instead of the black ones on your video. How do I know which one Im getting?

[cjc5531]

Thanks...And they do have two zipper colors and it's luck of the draw...If you order you might be able to request the black over the phone...The customer service is really helpful...Take care...

[thewaycreates]

good review man.

[cjc5531]

thewaycreates thanks so much....

[QRPisFun]

That park isn't that far from me. I might pick up one of those packs for my ham radio gear. Good job on the review!

[cjc5531]

QRPisFun great park in our back yard...Thanks and take care...

[starvingtech]

Of all the BOB and gear reviews I've seen I think you are the only person I've seen that packs TP.

Isn't that strange?

[cjc5531]

starvingtech ....To me it's a must and I don't what the other people do in that situation.... Take care!!!!

[unoshotounokillo]

this summer im going on a 4 day hike in the penselvania mountins. do you think it can hold enough for 4 days in i us a comprsion sack for the sleeping bag?

[cjc5531]

I think it would be really tough to make a four day pack from this one....Take a look at the Vulture II pack that's made for 3 day...Good luck...

[EXT3RMIN8R]

Do you think you would be able to do a review on the vulture 2, with some attachments and gear enough for 3 days. That would be awesome keep up the great work man.

[cjc5531]

I could...that will be the next vid I do as soon as I pick one up...Thanks for watching...

[w0lFfr]

Hi

God vids but i have a question, it is really waterproof, it can resist to an hard rain ??

Thanks and good job.

[cjc5531]

Thanks....It's only water resistant and I have only had it in real light rain and it was fine. I do carry a poncho that would cover myself and the pack...I haven't had it in the heavy rain...

[afterthefox7]

where is your water purifier or steripen

[cjc5531]

This is in the FR-1 pouch shown at 6:54 nore details can be seen in my FR-1 VId...

[HelmerandRawlins]

Awesome video man, you have a wise setup and good presentation style keep up the good work

[cjc5531]

Thanks so much for the comments.....

[FatDaddy4Fun]

Great video pal. You convinced me. I was going to a NATO rucksack, but how can I not get a Condor now? lol. It is just the right size for short trips, either day or three day. Plenty of room. I also carry the Jumbo Versipac in the woods. Between the two, I should have loads of room. Thanks for the vid and the 360. I was wanting to see someone wearing the Condor. That makes all of the difference. Watch your 6 pal. Happy trails.

[cjc5531]

Thanks I really appreciate the comments...This pack is the one I use the most....It's hard to beat it....Take care..

[rezzoro7]

Very nice review you did here. If you could buy just one pack, would you get the condor or the falcon? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I'm planning on using it for school part time and also for one day hiking trips.

5/5

[gurielzeigerman]

Falcon if you're not doing an overnight trip. Let me know if you're going to get one, I can let you know how to get it cheap

[rezzoro7]

Where can we get one cheap?

[cjc5531]

Hey Rez thanks so much...The Falcon is a great one day, a day hike and the school pack...You'll really like it...Take care...

[Masterjohn360]

hey dude nice video also how much was the bag

[cjc5531]

Thanks so much....I think around 125...

[YouMockMe]

This is a pretty nice pack and i've heard a lot of good things about it but do you have any opinions on the Ranger (Bulletproof Backpack) ? Yeah it's twice the price but I respect your opinion and I don't like getting shot.

Thanks for any advice!

[cjc5531]

The Condor II is one of my all time favorites and I would say its the one I use the most. I have seen the ranger in ads and a VID ...didn't care much for the layout or the price. I guess it would depend on your need for the protection and if it's any justification for the price....For what its worth....Take care..

[YouMockMe]

Yeah, it is about twice the price but it is the price of protection. It may be a little overkill and to be honest I have not made a decision but thanks for your thoughts anyway!

[akjunkie]

Way to much background noise. Next time find a quieter area to do your review. Otherwise, i thought your review was Excellent!!!!!!!!!

[cjc5531]

I agree...I was at the top of a ridge so I had no wind break usually its not that bad. Just a windy day and a long trip to the park so I shot it anyway....Thanks for the viewing...

[carveawoodeneye]

thanks so much i'm going to order the condor latter in the week!

[cjc5531]

Your very welcome hope it works well for you...

[plasticspine]

need your help! i'm fighting over this pack or camelback hawg for a (ultralight bug out bag) right now i'm using camelbak mule for edc and like it and a crappy molle 3 day for bug out

the two packs are the same price seems like the hawg is a little smaller what do suggest?

[cjc5531]

I did look a the H.A.W.G. nice pack but the condor would win out for me. I just like all the attachment points for all the extra gear if needed. The material looks to be higher quality on the condor also, once you own one of the maxpedition products you'll see they are built like tanks...Hope this helps good luck..

CJ

[theatwo]

You make a good review sir!

[hexter1919]

What kind of water bladder system is in there?

[cjc5531]

That's a camelback 100 0z....

[plasticspine]

i love your vids. i love how your intro music is not crazy loud, it's the same loudness as the rest of your vid

thanks

[cjc5531]

Thanks so much, This sony movie making software allows you to adjust all the volumes in the VID's...

take care CJ

[petervagt]

Cj buddy in the Start BRIGH Buddy hehe it's going fast where you telling about the fabric hehe

[cjc5531]

Very windy that day and I was at tree top level on a ledge, had to shoot the VID since I made the trip...

[RoscoeBa]

Nice large pack. Good to see there's a little cover for the water bladder port in case it rains and you've got something other than a water bladder in there. Nice, CJ.

[Lexman1]

Great review for a great pack. You also loaded it well and it's nice to see that I am not to far off the mark as well, since I load it very similar.

[cjc5531]

Thanks....you should consider making a Vid sometime.....

[petervagt]

awsome video cj as always thanks i'm buying one pretty soon

regards

peter nielsen

denmark

[cjc5531]

Thanks Peter!!!! It is a great pack......

[05MagnumSXT]

Great video. Your set up very well. Maxpedition makes fantastic gear.

[cjc5531]

Thanks!!!They do make some great gear..

[14DFASniper]

Hey CJ, thanks for the Condor II review. I have the saber cat and love it. But I' want to get a pack. I like the Condor II and the Vulture II packs. Unfortunatly, I can't get my hands on either one to decide since there are no sales in my area. I think the best would be the Condor II design with the Vulture size. Recommendations?

[cjc5531]

Thanks for the comments....I really like the Condor ll from what I can see they are just about alike. Vulture has more capacity so I guess it would come down to what you may need pack...Good Luck
