I settled on the TT Essential II 15L pack for my applications. Really liked that it had outer MOLLE webbing which I used to add 3 pouches which upped the capacity by about 8L and with more organization capability. They make awesome packs, im in the US and didnt see anything quite like it here.
HI Rob. 100% agree. I've had an Essential Pack for the last five years and it's a staple for me. Such and awesome foundation bag to build on with the Molle. All my best from across the Pond
I love this thing !!! I use bungee cord on the lower section and my 8.1 pouch clips with some carabiner to it if need to so I haven’t loop the waistband around
I'm trying to decide between the Viktos 25L backpack and one of the many Tasmanian Tiger packs I've found. I just discovered TT and know almost nothing about them. I have been a huge fan of Viktos for several years now, so I'm sure I will be happy with their pack. However, I'm really intrigued by the packs that I've seen from TT. Thanks for the video!
It's definitely recommend the TT Essential Pack L as well as the Modular Daypack XL. TT have also recently released the Module Tac Pack 28. It's like a smaller Mission Pack 🤙
@@MoorlanderEDC Thank you for the recommendation. I bought the Viktos 25L, but I’m definitely in the market for a couple more bags. I really like what I see from TT. I’ll definitely check out what you recommended. Your videos are really helpful. I appreciate that! I just found your channel and am glad I did.
I only need a small capacity backpack. Wonder if I should purchase the TT modular tac pack 28L or this TT survival pack. 🤔 For me, the sewed pouches inside seem to make the TT survival pack less versatile.
Great Review, thanks a lot. I just bought carabiners and add them at the buttom to hold the straps, because I did not like the plastic D Ring Version as well. Works just fine, maybe it is a solution for you as well + 2 carabiners are good use in some times. :) Cheers Ps. Laught hard at the Tardis comparison. :D
Thanks for this video! Apart from the backstraps, which I'm perfectly fine with, there are some other points that I'd like to see changed in an improved version: The hook and loop is fine but apart from the strap on the 8.1 pouch there is not much to fix it in place - a hook strap on the back of the 8.1 would be fine. Within the pack it would be great to have more packs removable - weight and cost aside. In addition the packs/pouches are without interior organisation - a possibility for exchanging these for other packs from tt, which have this features, would be great - and worth any extra Euro or Pound in my opinion. Best regards and thanks for your work from Germany! Ralph
Hi Ralph. I hope you're well buddy. It's funny you should say that. I could have sworn when I tested this out earlier this year more pouches came off from the hook & loop so I'm not sure if they've updated the design from feedback. I think the top two smaller pouches owuld have made sense as then you from lid would have been completely clear. I have my fingers and toes crossed that this will be a staple bag for TT and they continue to develop it further. All my best from across the Channel
When I'm out filming there's usually a Robin or two around me. They are very brave and sometimes come within a few inches of me to see what I'm doing. I always though they were just nosey, however, I've heard they're very territorial so they're probably making sure I don't have any beef with them 😃 Either that or they like photobombing the humans. I hope you have a great weekend
IMO a sternum strap is important if you don't have or can't hold onto the shoulder strap hand loops, for example if you hike with poles, ride a bike or do XC skiing, or I guess need to carry a firearm? These activities also require a lot of shoulder movement which will cause the shoulder straps to slip more easily, especially if your bag is heavily loaded.
Hope Tasmanien Tiger will produce such a bag with Mole or button straps on the back that U can also put it on bigger Rucksacks...Strange that they didnt...
They nearly have the pack you've described with their medical packs. They're designed for field medics however these would be easily made into a Survival pack quite easily. My guess is they took the Medic Assault pack as a foundation for the survival pack - www.tasmaniantiger.info/en/product/tt-medic-assault-pack-l-mkii/
You have me intrigued Chris. Is this the kind of thing one can buy or is it a special kind of things for air crew? I've not heard of this bag before and would love to learn more. Thanks for watching by the way. I hope you;re well buddy
@@MoorlanderEDC Eagle Industries had bags you could buy that had much the same feature. I just googled and could not find the link but they were geared toward helicopter flight crews to bail out and have an E&E type kit they could throw on as this bag with mesh pockets inside. The reason for those double handles was so you could hang it in the aircraft out of the way. If you search on UA-cam "Eagle Go to Hell Bag" you should find a video or two showing the updated one that I've never seen for sale. As a survival type bag this design looks perfect for all the bits and bobs you might need.
Chris, thanks for this extra information. I'll definitely check it out now. Without looking though I'm sure if this will definitely have been an inspiration for this bag as it's designed to have that same E&E style function. Have a cracking week buddy
Yes, since Brexit TT has been harder to get due to slow processing at the ports. There are some suppliers. TT UK are also working on getting their site running too for orders. At the moment it's really just for products information. Hopefully once it's up and running you can use my discount code 😂
Hello Moorlander. A big thank you and congratulations for your excellent quality video and for the presentation of this product as well as all the ones you can share on your UA-cam channel. I'm really a fan of the format you use. I subscribe because I really appreciate your work. I was looking for a fitted bag like this and my god that I have tried of all brands and formats but here it is, although I love my wife very much she refuses to enter into "this delirium" of evacuation bag. She sees no interest in it...until 3 months ago. An apartment next to ours caught fire and fortunately there were no injuries but she was able to realise that all my attempts to make her understand some things were no longer fiction and although being a former soldier and firefighter, for her like many people in the world think that it only happens through a television set and that it can't happen to them. So my mission was to try to find a bag that will not ask him much BUT that will make the difference and in that I think I found it by the TT survival pack I just ordered. Another anecdote, 1 week ago my 26-year-old daughter was hospitalised and had to be operated on. That's well over for her but now my baby (yes even at 26 years old our children will always remain our babies 😁) tells me "Dad, I have nothing, no toilet kit, nothing to recharge my phone, no spare clothes etc." and at that time, I smiled even if she suffered a lot and she understood and answered me "do you have everything you need in your car trunk? "I answered him "according to you? "And there, she says to me "ok dad I'll never make fun of you again when you tell us about always having a loan bag just in case!! Sorry for the length of the message but I wanted with this comment to make everyone understand that it is not a delirium to predict and that it can happen to everyone. A big hello from Brittany in France and have a good and beautiful day and take good care of yourself.
What is the height of this 6L pouch?, and what is the height of the velcro side when pockets are out? Just wondering what water bottle I can fit? Will camelbakb750 chute fit?
Ooooooh great question. Honestly, I haven't had any experience with the Savotta Kahakka (yet). I have the 25ltr version on my list. I do love this TT pack however the Kahakka is built to last 10 life times
@ My choice fell on the TT survival pack mainly for its storage and its low profile design. But the Savotta has more pockets to add, as well as side pockets. So I'm thinking of going on the Savotta. Thank you for your response!
Hi. I do love my tasmanian tiger bags. Been using the TT daypack large for a while now. But I found out about Kahakka and after some time decided to go for it. It's absolutely wonderful and the sidepockets makes it a winner. I bought both the 15 & 25 liter versions. The 15 in camo and the 25 in black. In black it can easily go for a normal daypack. Not since "5.11 covrt 18 1.0" have I been that satisfied by a backpack purchase.
Thank you for the kind words. They're both awesome companies to buy from for sure. TT make amazing gear that's often specialised. Generally you can always make their bags work for day to day stuff. Savotta stuff is also amazing however theirs are very simple with no frills. Theyvre also great for EDC use too. TT gear is very tough, whereas Savotta gear is bomb proof. Whichever way you go, you'll have a pack that will last a lifetime
at first, i like this backpack. but 16 liter are 16 Liter. the next point is the fixed pouches. i want more flexibility. this is the reason, why i buyed the modular tac pack 28. i used difference hock and loop pouches to organized my stuff. thanks for your greate content. greetings from Germany 🤜🤛
Hi Robert, I think if they made a larger 25ltr version that would be awesome. They do kind of already have wlthat with their medic packs. I think it would be easy to repurpose one of those for a Survival XL The Modular Tac 28 is a very nice pack. I had a play with that this year. It's like a mini Mission Pack... And that's great in my mind 👍 all the best from across the Channel
Waffle on mate, we always learn new things from it, just like the under garment. Pity there's no TT in Australia. It may cost less to get it locally. Cheers anyway. Rock on matey.!
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you for the reply. This bag looks awesome. If they made it in a 20 liter I think this would be the ultimate everyday bag, even useful for a weekend trip. I am going to keep an eye out.
@@mrDopeBear the come with the pack. All of the pouches in the content are included with the bag. TT do make the additional pouches should you want extra www.tasmaniantiger.info/en/product/tt-modular-pouch-set-vl/
It will stand by itself but it's not designed to. It's like most bags where you can balance it if it's packed well. It definitely isn't like other bags where you can simply put it down without looking and it'll sit there perfectly. Hope that helps
Looks like a eagle industries E E bag , nog snags that can be caught pulling it out of a car in destress Think I would me great as a slimline medic bag
Oh definitely. A water bottle would have been perfect however it might have stopped the full clamshell opening. Maybe their thinking is as it's a survival pack you'll have a Life Straw in there already 😆
Thank you! Nice pack but way overpriced and to heavy for a 16L pack. My Direct Action Dragon Egg Enlarged Is 2200gr at 30L and that thing Is built like a tank. Although It´s double de weight, It´s also double the capacity at the same price. The TT Essentials MKII Is 16L and more then half the price, It can also have a lot of modularity with TT´s pouches. Still a nice pack but personally I would not pay that price for a 16L pack with all that´s available now days.
