Hello Sootch
I just wanted to tell you that I really do appreciate your videos. My wife and I just went through the hurricane Irma in FL. The mind set and preparation for such an ordeal can be overwhelming. I have been watching your videos for a while and they helped us through the storm. We did not go without anything. In fact we were able to help people because we were prepared. We not only survived we thrived.
Thank you very much
L&L
So good to hear you made it through and thrived! That's an excellent point my friend, not only surviving but also helping others! I am honored by your comment. It has made my evening.
I rarely comment on videos, and I wasn't in Irma. But your videos have also helped me and certainly many others become more self reliant and prepared. Thank you Sootch!
I am building a kit on this backpack so nice to see this review, Sootch.
LAPG actually still makes the Molle Gear bag and I have a couple, as well as a more "deluxe" version of similar size, the Zombie Hunter....both are killer!
I absolutely love LA Police Gear. Great quality gear at amazing prices. Their pants and shorts are better than the brand with all the numbers. The bags are bullet proof. Great review from a great guy on a great bag!
Brian Ligon I'm lucky they just opened a store near me and absolutely awesome store
Thanks Brian! I appreciate it brother. LAPG is solid gear.
Love your videos/reviews. I am hoping you can do more greyman reviews to give us options that would work without looking tactical; especially for those of us with kids who may need something for school as a get home bag, professionals in a business setting or something along those lines. Thanks, keep up the excellent work - God bless!
I like how detailed these reviews are.
Thanks Nicklaus! Always appreciated.
Wait a minute, LAPG was founded in 2001... you say you've had this pouch for 25 years, how is this possible ? ^^ loving the pack
L'appel de la nature lol
I need to look into this pack. Planning a few back country hikes in the Rockies so this will come in handy to carry my stuff.
Love the Henry! Mine is the 45-70AW. Very sweet action and well worth the price!
Thanks for sharing!
Ah! The Henry All Weather 45-70 is my favorite! Good choice. Thanks for watching Dan!
Love the video. Saw your 3V Paratus video and bought it 2 years ago and love it! Love the content you put out on both channels! Keep up the good work! We love and appreciate it!
Thanks Cameron! The Paratus is excellent and glad you're enjoying it.
Great video as always Don! I too love LAPoliceGear. I have one of their older 72hr packs in my car, been there for about 8 years now. I also have a couple of the bail out bags and some of their clothes. I like the options with the Atlas packs having that front pouch system. I think that will be my next LAPG purchase. I have the Atlas pants, I use them for work as a maintenance technician and they are great.
Keep up the great work Don!!!!!
I bought the chest pack 2 months ago. absolutely love it. great quality & a ton of options for carry. thx for the vid.
Thanks Brother, I'm looking forward to getting some field use with the Chest Rig.
I EDC a black one, tough bag. Truly OP for an EDC bag which is why I like it.
Now that is one nice bag! I have discovered something that my help with the floppy pockets: Velcro dots. They are tiny, but work great. You can add in the dots where you wish. One thing I would recommend is using super glue or fabric glue to affix the dots, as the adhesive on the back of the dots isn't that great for frequent use.
Thanks Jeanette, That's a great tip.
Can you do a review on some of the SOG packs? I have the ninja 24Liter and the 64L 72 hr pack and the ninja was about $30 new, the 72hr was about $50 on amazon. I got them in black bit they are very nice and and have alot of storage space. They do have them in Tan and OD green i believe as well.
Good review. I have the LAPG 3 day pack for my BOB and it's very sturdy and holds a lot. I have their Bail Out Gear bag as well for my vehicle. Great prices on their products. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching Jade!
I'm off to their warehouse right now ,to pick this pack up! Awesome video!!😁🤙👌
They also have 24&72 HR bags for only 20$ more that are much larger with the same quality it looks like. Thanks for bringing this line to our attention sootch. Iam excited to buy mine
Johnny Bones yes, I've had the 72 hour bag for a few months and it is great!! I love it!! The zippers are tough and it has lots of room!! Plenty of webbing and the 72 hour and I believe also the 24 hour bag has side pockets that are large with 2 small pockets inside. Plus the front pouch has slots to hold 2 ar-15 mags.
LA Police Gear has a great line up. Thanks for watching Johnny!
Always had great experience with LAPG. In fact, I wore one of their short sleeve snap-front shirts to work today hah. I almost bought the Atlas as a hunting pack but they don't sell a camo version. I ended up using my Rush 24 in Sandstone instead this deer season (which I bought from LAPG a couple years ago). This pack looks like a Rush 12 sized between a 12 and 24.
Sootch! Long time follower. Love your videos!.. but my pocket doesn't, I've bought alot of gear because of you lol. I follow a lot of channels and you are #1!! Thanks for the detailed reviews and advice! Keep up the great work!
Great review...as always. Just ordered mine in OD. Very excited.
Nice to see you back Sootch. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Dave! More to come
You are so right abt LAPG; they really are a great co, excellent prices, fast shipp abt quality gear. But, WAIT for their fantastic all gear sales. You have to be smart to find the discount code but I got my atlas pants for 18% off n they truly are excellent (not just for the price but really well built, great fit etc.) Want this pack, hope I can find one in black. Thanks for a great vid. Want the chest rig too, never saw that one before. Be Blessed brother.
Like the 511 rush 12 but without the great padding lol
Just a much cheaper quality version. Lower quality materials and construction but exactly the same design. I don’t think it’ll actually hold up anywhere near as well as the 5.11 rush bags will.
You help make it easier to add to my survival item lists for my friend and family...we all knowwhat tools we are bringing for eachother..all af us bring so.ething diffrent to the table...so thank you for ypur reviews.....
Thanks
Thanks Pilot! I appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the video, sootch. It looks like a very nice pack for almost all uses, and well-built. For $45 that's a killer fricking value. I know what I'll be getting if my current backpack (rather cheapie one from my company) ever shits the bed.
Thanks as always for watching brother. LAPG is solid and the price is right.
I came to the party late Sensible Prepper, but by golly I'm here now! Nice looking pack, if you have had those other packs for that long that tells you about the quality and construction.... I laughed when you showed the flex seal bottom of your range bag, because of that video I did both my Rush 12's and 72 and my MSM Adapt pack... Thanks for everything and have a great Sunday God bless and everyone under your roof... Regards from Yellowknife
Thanks Yellowknife! Glad you found the Flexseal tip useful. These are great bags for the money.
Reminds me of my 5.11 rush 72
Its a knockoff of the Rush series
mR. StRAnGe Do you like this back pack?
Probably made in the same chinese factory. You can get the exact pack for 25$ from alibaba :d
I have the 72 hour version for work (LEO) and it has held up well. LApolice's pricing is significantly better than some "other" brands that make products that are essentially the same as far as features & quality are concerned - just without the name brand (if that's your thing)...
and p.s. - I've turned one of their range bags that he mentions into an active shooter/bail out bag for the same purpose and it's still going strong after 1 year plus of bouncing around in the trunk of my patrol car & pov.
Looks like it make a great "Hunker Down Bag". What's that? That's the Bag/Kit that you keep in your Work Place or if you travelling and get Stuck where you are. You know there were people who had to Stay Behind in Downtown Houston and Miami who had to spend several days in those Office Buildings. Or Vacationers who got Stuck in the Caribbean. You probably don't need a Shelter System in those Cases, but you would need more than the Clothes on your Back and some EDC Gear. Take Care.
Thanks Leslie, Good description and reason to always be prepared. Things can go wrong at a moments notice... and usually when you least expect it.
I'm looking into something that is not so tactical. More low key seems to be a better option these days.
I love the Bailout bag. I just wish it had a double pistol compartment, it would be perfect as a range bag of that was the case
SUPER NICE BACKPACK! Excellent vid introductory review. THANKS
Thanks for watching!
The attachment system reminds me a lot of the FirstSpear 6/12, is it just me? Looks like a great pack though, especially for that price! The pack I’ve had has finally started tearing after two years of range trips, school and hiking. I kinda wish that there was a smaller version, more akin to a RUSH12 or even 24 for simple EDC stuff. But for week trips around TX, this could be the ticket. Thanks for the review, Sootch!
damn boy you look like Mae West with that chest rig on
Lol!
SensiblePrepper I'm happy that you uploaded a video I missed you BTW great video on the bag I like the front pack attachment anyways keep em coming.
Thanks LoneRanger! I'm really looking forward to the Chest Rig system review. More to come.
That's great can't wait thank you for replying.
The cool thing about lapg is the price.
Glad to see sootch vids are monetized again
Thanks Josh, it's coming back at least in Sensible Prepper and hit or miss on Sootch00. I'm hear to stay regardless until they run me off! LoL!
I have several of these in different colors.
Great packs
I would use the chest pouches for IV bags ( Saline, only).
i have one of their 3 day packs as my get home pack in my vehicle trunk. Very tough made. Zippers are good and i hate zippers because they are made so cheaply today but not these...
Neat pack, been looking at it since it came out. I went with a different pack for everyday use because the Atlas 12 was to large and heavy for my needs. It does represent great value if you are looking for what it delivers. Many people report sticky zippers on the Atlas line, expecially where the zipper curves. I decided to go with a 20 ounce pack that was completely non tactical. When you said you could put a plate into the rear compartment, you said for bullet proof capability, you and I know that plates are bullet resistant not bullet proof. Thanks for the review 😆
Thanks for the comment and the additions. I agree it's a little larger than what I typically use for EDC.
As far as Bullet Proof, I use AR500 plates and they are Bullet proof with the exception of 50 BMG. If you are facing that, you have bigger problems! LoL!
Looks good and has nice features, but the lack of YKK zippers is a deal breaker for me.
I love the tactical bra lol it really looks great for your quick access items.
It is similar to my LAPG 72 hour bag, but updated.
That is a lot of pack for the money. Another great video.
Thanks Kenny!
Remake of the 5.11 rush12?
It's sightly larger than the RUSH 12 but pretty close to the same design. Thanks Joe!
That’s literally exactly what I was thinking. The entire atlas line of bags is just a cheaper quality version of the 5.11 rush series. The designs are completely the same when it comes to pockets and sizes. La police gear uses cheaper materials and laser cut pals webbing. The quality is much lower and it shows in the long run. I don’t trust his review of the bag too much because he says he’s had some la police gear bags for over 25 years and the company isn’t even 20 years old so I’m questioning the honesty of a lot of what he says here...
i saw a couple of options on there website that look similar, one was coyote and the other was brown.
Hey Soocht! looks like you just bought a tactical braw at 6:40....Lol. Kool item....hard To Get original In That pack world!
Thank you for the work that you do. Great videos.
Thanks Wayne!
love lapg packs! im thinking of getting this one in the 72 hour
ARMYMP you won't be disappointed, I've had the 72 hour for a few months and I love it!!!
I have a good bit of LAPG stuff and all good. Twice contacted Customer Service (once for wrong item shipped and once for "dog ate my pack strap" Perfect customer service, charged me only for the shipping on the destroyed strap and buckles. If they have what I'm looking for I don't shop farther.
Hey Mark! Good to hear. They are great to deal with and the price is right. Thanks Brother
I bought this backpack after seeing the reviews I took it to disneyworld over 4 days and loaded it with snacks/frozen bottles of water ( I got searched like crazy obviously) ended up losing the female end to the waist strap somehow on the last day...Great backpack.looking for a replacement for that strap in the OD color
Great video. Wish you briefly addressed why I wouldn't get the 24 hour pack for just $10 more. Or the 72 hour pack for just another $10 more.
Great video looking forward to adding this pack to my collection of BOBs
As a result of your video, I bought this bag. Love it. Thanks
nice review, i have 2 of their bags...love em
Thanks Danhold!
5.11 Cvrt... i think its slightly better in terms of options
Love the stache....
nice pack , but years ago you sold me on maxpedition and iv been really impressed by maxpedition packs and bags
Maxpedition is the deal. They are pricey but you get what you pay for : ) Thanks Brother!
I would have to think a lot before using the chest system. Max jumbopack better for me.
Great video on a nice bag. I've seen you do a lot of reviews on different bags. What's your top 3 favorite EDC, 24, 72 and bug out bags?
Thanks for the review.
Thanks Sootch!
Thanks for watching Jason!
Big enough to use as a bug out bag? Nice review!
great review. i should've waited before i bought my 511 rush 12 pack. by the way, does that crest rig come in "C" and "DD"?... sorry just couldn't resist..... 8-D
Thanks for the review! Love these detailed reviews. Have you ever reviewed anything you really hated?
If I don't like it, I can't get motivated to review it. I put too much work into my reviews and there's too much quality gear out there to bother with junk. I've sent a number of things back over the years. Thanks Bass!
SensiblePrepper Thanks for the reply. Appreciate the work you do
Hey Sootch I was wondering if u have done any videos on the kelty brand bags and cache boxes/containers?
Are you sure that the material is Cordura nylon? The website says polyester and frankly, it looks like that and NOT Cordura nylon. Just asking for some clarification. Good video otherwise, as always. Thanks.
It's Polyester Nylon.... I'm so used to saying Cordura but it's still 900 denier. Thanks for the comment.
Basecamp makes a good bag for damn cheap.
Love the stash 👍🏻
Thanks Mickley!
Great video.
great bag review. do you think the atlas 12 pack could hold 10 - 20 lbs worth of gear? i want to use it for a GoRuck challenge.
Reminds me of the 511 rush pack I paid $120 for but this seems to ave more options. What size laptop will this fit?
Looks like it will fit pretty much anything, unless you're using one of those monstrous laptops from the late 90's.
Have to ask what makes it tactical- webbing- color. It's just funny make any bag military colors or add some webbing it becomes tactical
Tactical is more of a category. Considering there are a lot of different style packs, "tactical" let's you know that it fits into the rugged and molle line of bags.
Reminds me of my recycled fire fighter design.
I bought mine when they first came out And only had three colors. I wanted grey :/
Is this the brown or the coyote color?
Makes me feel like an idiot for spending $90 buying a 511 rush 12. Looks almost identical to the rush bag but way cheaper and you get that awesome Atlas system.
Hey sootch! Thanks for the gear review! Also, were you affected or have anything planned for previous 2 Hurricanes or even the third one that might hit the east coast?
We only got high winds and lots of rain but not really effected by the storm. My heart goes out the the people in Florida and Texas.... what a mess. Thanks for watching my friend.
can i use this as a camping bag? i would use it whenever i go on one day trips. (Sometimes over night, but usually not.) i would make sure to clean it whenever i return from trips. Do you think it would hold up to the outdoor use for at least a couple years?
Sootch please whats tha awesome song in the beggining? I try hard to find it.
Where is the back pack made?
25 years huh? That gear didn’t exist 25 years ago, nor did that company!? How can we believe anything you say now?
What is the hook and loop for?
Very nice. Thanks for sharing brother. Thumb's up!~John
Thanks John! I appreciate it Brother
25 years??? Those style of packs are from the late 2000s. LA Police Gear was founded in 2001. They did not start offering military style gear until the late 2000s.
May have changed his opinion in the full review.but he's the only one I've heard say ANYTHING positive about the chest rig. I wish lapg offered regular d rings in the place of the buckles for it
Have you been watching the Metatron's channel? The intro music is not something I'd have expected to see here. Cheers from a Canadian infantry reservist.
Looks like the 511 rush 12
too bad not many colors available, like sandstone :/
Can not ship to The Netherlands, where can I buy this ?
Sootch, I gotta ask, would you recommend this pack over the Direct Action Dust? Which one do you like better? Thanks.
The Direct Action Dust is awesome and I like the smaller size for EDC. It's a better bag all around. Thanks jonny!
Roger that. Thanks buddy!
Nice review seems a decent pack
Thanks Fabrizio!
SensiblePrepper anytime!
Where is LAPG products manufactured?
Max Headspace china
I just checked the label and it's made in Vietnam.
I'll stick with MAXPEDITION BAGS.
Could this work as a bug out bag depending on what you pack?
What are the dimensions of the bag, in deciding whether to get the 24 hour or this bag
There's Don learching by my fence again. I never need a guard dog as long as he's out making videos. (Most likely the thoughts of his closest neighbors)
Sorry, it's a great backdrop for my videos : )
Come on, Hulk Hogan. Trim the dang mustache!
Now way! Sootch-A Mania is Here!
this pack looking similar to Rush 12 511...
It looks A LOT more roomy than the 5.11 Rush 12
LoneWolfEddy Bonilla It's more comparable to their RUSH24, which stands at 2275 cubic in. The LAPG stands at 2142.
