Good job! Fun told and explained

[@somboon1969]

Thanks for your recommend.

[@markdouglas4139]

Great vid, that bag looks pretty good, think I'll check it out!

[@JTactical]

Thanks Mark.
This subject is all over the news at the minute... Maybe I'll get some air time!?

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Great tips there pal

[@JTactical]

Thanks! :-)

[@ApocGuy]

nice setup :) . i'd either replace that flashlight with one that is powered by 18650 or add another one in there. i always carry 2 lamps (fenix hl60R (headlamp) and Pd35/36 (handheld)) when outside after the dark. that and lightweight alcohol stove and few bulions.

That's a good thought out kit, I think I might take some inspiration myself! I have a question about the backpack, I'm a student and im wondering if you could fit an A4 pad of paper in the main compartment? Cheers

[@JTactical]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
You will easily be able to fit an A4 pad in the main compartment with plenty of room to spare!

Hey J-Tac,
Very, very ... VERY good video!
Super intelligent 1 day backpack you have there.
Just out of curiosity: Why did you choose your backpack Olive Green, yet the Gunfighter jacket is Coyote brown?

[@JTactical]

Thank you for watching and that top compliment!
The Backpack is actually Adaptive Green... I bought some Helikon UTP’s in the Adaptive and loved the colour!
I was going to get my next Gunfighter in Adaptive, but they didn’t have my size... So I now have that in Olive! 🤣
They’re all shades of awesome tho! I still love the Coyote colour tho!

@@JTactical I asked because I am new to tactical clothing and gear.
So far I have 2 tactical shirts (Foliage Green and Jungle Green), a Range Cap in Olive Green.
I need a jacket, a backpack and pants for starters.
The jacket I first looked at the Patriot Heavy Fleece, there are Foliage Green and Jungle Green colors avalaible, but it could be a little too thick. I am looking for something more usable in a 5 to 12 degrees celsius rainy environment like that of the Netherlands in the autumn/winter season.
Other options: Cumulus, Patriot, Gunfighter, Trooper, Mistral Anorak, Woodsman Anorak, Alpha Tactical... just confusing...
Any reccomendations are welcomed
For backpack my option is the Helikon Tex Raider Cordura in Olive Green, although Raccoon MK II and EDC both Cordura are really great options, but the Raider looks more "badass" to me, and has a light rain cover.

For pants, UTP Polycotton ripstop, not sure on the color yet, and this is a big problem for me.
I want to match colors while not choosing the same color for everything, because the "same" color like Olive Green looks different on different materials.

What is the color of this bag please

[@JTactical]

That particular bag is Adaptive Green.
