[GrampaMikeOC]

Grandma and I both have those and really like them. In fact, she likes her's so much she carries it every day on our walks. Nice review!

[RoscoeBa]

@GrampaMikeOC Super! Its so lightweight and the padded straps keep it comfy. Tell Grandma I said hello! :)

[nycbike73]

@RoscoeBa The key is ride like you are a bicycle messenger ;). I ride from Queens to Central Park all the time.

[bennyboysutton]

@roscoeBa thanks for the reply.

It's amazing you have replied to everyone! It must have taken a very long time.

I was very excited to see you posted a new video because it's been so long since your last review.

I love all your reviews, you've got a natural talent for it and in my opinion probably the best on YouTube! long may they last!

Benny from England

[RoscoeBa]

@bennyboysutton So sweet! Thanks you, Benny!! :)

[ParamedicBK]

Great review, had a flash 18 and miss it. Need to get another one.

[RoscoeBa]

@ParamedicBK Thanks so much, Medic. Indeed, get another before they sell out!

[wpherigo1]

Great vid, Roz!

[RoscoeBa]

@wpherigo1 Thanks so much, W.!

[FatStupidAmerican]

Why hello, look who finally decided to make a new vid.... and thanks for the review, I was looking for something like this and will probably end up buying it.

[RoscoeBa]

@FatStupidAmerican haha!!!

[TonicLime1]

Looks like a cool bag! 

[RoscoeBa]

@TonicLime1 Indeed it is. Subbed your channel... :)

[flipteezy]

ooooh i'm getting one as soon as REI opens!

[RoscoeBa]

@flipteezy Cool! Were you able to pick one up?

[flipteezy]

@RoscoeBa Yes!!!!!! I had to go to the clearance section to get it and there were only 6 left. I'm glad I picked it up. Thank you RoscoeBa!

[DickPoleman]

your videos and enjoyable and informative...

[RoscoeBa]

@DickPoleman Very kind words. Thank you, Dick. :)

[TheUrbanPrepper]

It's good to have you back! I picked up one of those too when they were on sale.

[RoscoeBa]

@TheUrbanPrepper Thanks, UP! Yes, a cool little find. I felt really lucky to have stumbled on the rack of them!

[Varghjarta]

That's awesome, reminds me of that pouch expandable maxpedition bag I was thinking of getting, this might be better for the price. Can't tell ya how often I need a smaller bag that I can carry inside another pack and bring out for those smaller side trips from base where I just need food and a camera or something with me.

Thank you for reviewing this, after a few years i'm not as obsessed with maxpedition anymore, it's interesting to see what else is out there!

[RoscoeBa]

@Varghjarta Yah, the Roly Poly Extreme pack? I'd imagine that pack is much more durable and can withstand a beating. This REI Flash 18 is a great grab and go stuffer. Hope you can pick one up from the REI site. :)

[SurvivalRox]

Hi Ros, how much dioes the sack way?

[RoscoeBa]

@SurvivalRox Ah, good question. I'll give it a weigh and get back to ya on that...

[bennyboysutton]

Yeah she's back! More maxpedition reviews please.

[RoscoeBa]

@bennyboysutton hahah, ok Benny!

[MrHomesie]

Where have you been?!!?

[RoscoeBa]

@MrHomesie Hiay Mr. H! I've been enjoying everybody else's YT channels and vids, kicking back and taking a nice break. I forget how much I love doing these vids though....! ;)

[kessler003]

love it!!!!

can't find it on ebay. =(

[RoscoeBa]

@kessler003 I can see why. It's so inexpensive and stuffs so small there is very little reason to get rid of one. Can you pick one up from REI dot com?

[FatDaddy4Fun]

Thanks Roz. I can see where a stashable duffle would come in handy, especially with shoulder straps. Good to see ya = ) Thanks for the video. ~Wolf

[RoscoeBa]

@FatDaddy4Fun  Indeed. Great to see you, Wolf!!

[r54070]

Welcome back!

[RoscoeBa]

@r54070 Awww, thanks R.!

[colwild]

You're alive! :)

[RoscoeBa]

@colwild Whew!  lol thx, Col!

[katabunga]

Smart idea putting those straps on there.

[RoscoeBa]

@katabunga Yah, I was a little surprised but then quickly realized the brilliance! Those similar sacks they sell with the drawstring can dig in your shoulder or hand as it fills up. This stuff pack is pretty coolio!

[fog360]

nice.

[RoscoeBa]

@fog360 Thx Fog. You going to do more vids....?

[fog360]

@RoscoeBa Yes very soon will.

[SurviveN2]

That's a interesting item, thanks for sharing. Take Care :-))

[RoscoeBa]

@SurviveN2 Sure thing, thx, Dragon!

[hakaduka]

[RoscoeBa]

@BayAreaHiker Hiya Hiker! Wishing I was in the Bay Area enjoying your gorgeous part fo the world! lol Actually, been doing my share of hiking on the AT. Trying to section it out I suppose. ;)

[cbarsonfire]

REI is great. Been a member for years. The Attic sales are fantastic to find deals.

[RoscoeBa]

@cbarsonfire Yah, I wasn't able to get mine this past weekend and got to hear all the GREAT deals folks picked up! Next time for sure!

[lawson863]

Hey Gald to see your back but still no Face??? Anyway I am working on my channel now and plan on launching it next month..with videos...............C-ya!

[RoscoeBa]

@lawson863 hahah, No Face! lol Good luck with your channel, Lawson. It will open up a whole new aspect of YouTube for you. It really is a lot of fun!

[Mahlenziener]

Yes she is beck

[RoscoeBa]

@Mahlenziener  :) Thx Mahl!

[FatStupidAmerican]

Set up a simple webpage, with a list of everything you are selling, with pics and post in on here, I would like to see what you are trying to off load.

[RoscoeBa]

@FatStupidAmerican Yah, good idea FSA. Actually, since I have the YT channel already set up I guess I'll do a vid of the items! Stay tuned!

[mejt223]

She is one of my favorite reviewers on YouTube. I love the attention ot deatil on all those older vidjas.

[RoscoeBa]

@mejt223 Thx so much, metj! That means alot to me. I'm very humbled and thankful. -Roz

[mejt223]

Roz in the Heee-Zeee BABY!!!!

[RoscoeBa]

@mejt223 LOL! This is good, yes, metj?? :-D

[mejt223]

@RoscoeBa "In the Heee-Zeee Baby" Is a GREAT thing! Think of it as your subs rolling out the red carpet for you and cheering your return.

Your vidjas rock and they are always interesting.

[RoscoeBa]

@mejt223 haha LOVE it!! I feel like a movie star. lol :)

[MrLancer84]

Where ya been?

[RoscoeBa]

@MrLancer84  Hiya Mr.L. Just chillin, watching YouTube vids, driving the kiddo around to lotsa kid stuff, hiking, working. Nothing major or exciting. Got some ideas for new vids now though... :)

[MrLancer84]

@RoscoeBa Hey well it's good to see you're back, and hope to see what cool new stuff you got going for us. Happy New Yr. btw.

[thedawnawakening]

Super review as always Roz, super to see you back with them. Hope you get the funds for the new tent. {~_~}

[RoscoeBa]

@thedawnawakening Thx so much, TDA. Ugh, they cost so much! We can't wait to get out on the trail for the overnights though so am determined to make it happen. :)

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

Wahoo she is back!

[RoscoeBa]

@RichTheRidgeHunter Wahoooo back atcha, Rich! :-D

[srvvlhm]

Glad to have you back. I will purchase some of those Maxpedition items that you are gonna sell.

[RoscoeBa]

@srvvlhm Thx, Srvvl. PM me and I'll shoot you a list. I'm kind of slow-going on accomplishing this!

[stschmalhaus]

I'm glad you are back, Roz!

[RoscoeBa]

@stschmalhaus Thank you, Stefan! Always glad to see YOU too!!! :)

[jedijerdrums]

Great looking bag! Glad to see ya back. You've been MIA for a few months.

[RoscoeBa]

@jedijerdrums Aw, thanks, Jedi. Indeed, I've been slacking!

[rowdybeaver33]

Good to see you back in action. I love my Flash 18. You can use it as your sleeping back stuff sack. It's great summit bag too. Keep on keepin on.

[RoscoeBa]

@rowdybeaver33 hahah thx Rowdy. Are you doing your hiking up in the Rockies? Niiiiiice!

[rowdybeaver33]

@RoscoeBa Not as often as I'd like since I live in Oklahoma. However, I do have another trip to Estes planned for July. Good times.

[TheCanadianKnifeGuru]

I have had mine for about a year now and I love it! It is super light and it is awesome for light hikes.

[RoscoeBa]

@TheCanadianKnifeGuru +1 on that, Darian. Do you have REI in Canada?

[TheCanadianKnifeGuru]

@RoscoeBa I don't think so, I picked mine up when I was in Arizona.

[terrapin72]

Great to see another review from you, Roz. This item is in stock at my local REi for the same price - I am going to head down and pick one up! I have been looking for something like this to take while travelling - pack it up empty and use it when getting stuff on a trip.

[RoscoeBa]

@terrapin72 I tried to send you a comment but I'm not a Contact of yours... :(

Good deal, were you able to go down and pick one up? Great to toss in your suitcase and use it for jaunts around town/village/city.

[averagejoetactical1]

Great video. I like going to REI, many people say it's too expensive but if your a member you get 10% back and you can return it without questions. Thanks for the video.

[RoscoeBa]

@averagejoetactical1 Yah, at times its a top dollar place. However, as a member I/we get stuff shipped to the store and can just go in and pick up. Hands-on, easy pick ups, easy returns. The folks that advise me there have all seemed pretty knowledgeable as well. An added perk. Thx Joe!

[nycbike73]

I think this pack would compliment a ribz front pack very well. You can roll it up and put it inside the ribz pack or vise versa

[RoscoeBa]

@nycbike73 Good deal. It's funny that it actually has straps on it but what a great added utility. With the ribz you can really be hands-free.

[51foxy]

Very nice day sack, keep the videos going

paul. uk.

[RoscoeBa]

@51foxy  Thx Paul!

[nycbike73]

Oh yeah good to see you back

[RoscoeBa]

@nycbike73 Thx, NYC. Do you really bike in the city?? I pretty much learned how to drive in NYC when I was a teen. I need to get back there to sharpen my skills. ;)

[RoscoeBa]

@nycbike73  :)

[nycbike73]

I just purchased two of them today. 20 bucks each, like you said very useful pack roles up so small. I plan on making a car kit with one of them

[Locality156]

Good to see you back!

[RoscoeBa]

@Locality156 Hi Nunya, great to see you too. It's been a while!

[MrJimbofox]

Hey, Roz. I got a similar mini sack from REI on their closeout site that I use for doing light hikes. Great lil peice of gear. Nice score and thanks for putting this out. It's nice to see another vid from you.

[RoscoeBa]

@MrJimbofox Good deal, Jimbo. REI can have some nice little finds. Nice to see you too, MJF!

[edgedweapon88]

Very cool bag. Its great to see another video from you. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

[RoscoeBa]

@edgedweapon88 Yeah, I've been using it everyday for all my junkyjunk that I have to haul around and accomplish for the day. Thx Keelen!
