Review: Maxpedition Falcon II

Hey guys, so I sure you can understand that with everything going on, I haven't have a lot of time to be surfing the web, canadian forces, Search and rescue as well as work at the shelter had me on my toes and givin' more than my share of things to do.

Here are a couple vid, to give some perspective.

Here is part one:

Ok, on to the pictures and write up.

So first we'll start with its intended use, this is my SAR and cdn forces pack, I take it on duty, and any other time im in the wilderness. It has what I need to make someone, and my self comfy for a night. This will be extend on in the near furture when I finish my Heli training for a hasty team.

Anyways, well start with some out side pics.

Right side unbuckled to see the attachments.

You can see three pouchs on the out side, a rolly polly dump pouch, a cocoon pouch with 6, 12hr glo sticks. The last kit is actually my belt PSK, it has a modified AMK SOL pack, These are the contents.

10ft of brass wire
4X katadyn MP-1's
Micro fox40
tinder
Match kit
Modified fishing kit
10ft of duct tape
Signal mirror
compass
AMK heat sheet

In the rest of the kit there are two spare CR123's for the tk-10, and a full sized ferro rod.

In the first top pouch I have a Prictentec Fuel head lamp, lots of spar bats and a enegizer hardcase led, good light for map reading, or night navagation.

In the pouch just below that, there is my FAK, fiskars saw, zipties, sharpener and pen.

In the next pouch back there is my tk-10, sometimes worn on the belt. the my note pad, GPS and gloves.

Next is the last slot, it holds a AMK 2 person bivy, a survival kit, Bug net some extra socks and 100ft of 550.

and the contents of the survival kit.

The pack also has an upper chest strap, as well as a lower waste strap.

The bladder pack holds up to a 100Oz'er, but I have a 80oz platapus in there.

Another nice little touch are the straps on the bottom, which is where I keep my rain gear.

Overall, Im really liking this pack, its rides nice, stays snug to my back and is just great size for me. Its also nice having all the modding abilities for your size and what extra gear you want to bring.

And while not top of the line, its certainly up there. quality of max gear is great, plus its at a decent price, I can only hope I can manage to get more from them in the future.

Excellant video Tutorial Ben Cool

Great post, great pack. Ive had my day pack for 8 years and it may be time to get something like this, i like it alot. It carrys everything i would want to carry. Tons of room. $ 200 is alittle high, but its a pack i would have for a very long time. I paid $ 80 for mine 8 years ago, so i think the price fits for the amount of backpack you get. Cool
