STAY ORGANISED __ Bushcraft_ Hiking_ EDC Organiser.

G'day folks, I hope you're doing well. So I want to go through one of my favourite bits of kit with you guys. That's a VanQuest Husky Organiser. Now for someone like myself who's got a bit of OCD and just loves to keep their gear organised, this thing is a lifesaver. I've been using it for about three years now. As you can tell by all the marks and the dirt on it, I've given it some pretty serious use. I absolutely love the thing. It's just nice when you're out in the bush and you've got all your bits and pieces just to keep them all in one place and sort of makes life out in the bush that much easier. I've had a fair few guys over the years ask me about this so I figured it's about time I do a review, go through some of the specs and I'll do a nice little gear loadout and show you everything I keep inside of here. So let's get stuck into it. All right so let's talk about specs. So the weight of the organiser by itself weighs about 156 grams and the dimensions are 20 centimetres high by 15 centimetres wide and by about 5 centimetres deep. Now this thing's built like a little tank. The fabric's made of a 1000D Cordura fabric so very heavy duty and wear resistant so it's going to last a very long time. Inside the fabric is 210D Ripstop Nylon which is high visibility and water resistant and then you've got a YKK zipper which goes right the way around. It's also been reversed for protection. On the front here you've got a little slip pocket, a nice big velcro tab and we can put a patch on. On the back here you've got some MOLLE webbing and you've got a nice big grab handle at the top. So it's really well built this. So yeah let's get stuck into the contents. So first up in this front slip pocket I generally keep some aluminium foil for cooking and just some pieces of paper if I ever need to write anything down. Now if you open up the organiser there's all my gear. So as you can see these elastic loops do a really good job to sort of maximise the amount of space inside the organiser and it's got one, two and three pockets to put some things down so it does a really good job of just keeping everything nice and organised. So we start with the stuff on the left. So at the back here in this big pocket I've got my Soy Squeeze 16 ounce sort of water pouch and I've got a Milbank bag which I can also use to filter water and I can boil it over the fire to sterilise and then I've got a pot hanger which you can get from the Self Alliance Outfitters just to put in your nesting cup and hang that over the fire. It's pretty handy that. And then in the middle here I've got my Soy Mini. So really happy with that. I might update to the Soy Micro pretty soon but for the time being this does a pretty good job. The flow rate is a little bit slow and sometimes I find the connection does leak a little bit around the thread. I think my thread might be a bit dodgy so I might get the Micro pretty soon but for the time being that does a pretty good job and it just fits in this little middle part nice and snug. It's almost like it was made for it so pretty happy with that. And then if we go on to the stuff on the left. First up I've got my, just a lighter with some duct tape or some Gorilla Tape just wrapped around it. So obviously duct tape is one of the best fire starters you can get. So just if you ever get stuck you can just peel a bit of that off, light it and that's going to burn for a couple of minutes. So be able to get the fire going with that. I've got a bit of, I think it's about a meter and a half or so of just paracord. It's always handy to have a little bit of cordage hanging around. Also it's a good length to use if you ever want to use a bow drill method to get the fire started. Next up I've just got a little vial of needles and thread so you never need to make any alterations when you're out in the bush. I can use that to fix up my clothes or my pack. And then here I've just got my fire steel ferrocene rod. So I made this one myself just with some deer antler and some gum nuts at the end as well. And then down here I've got my matches. So I've got some waterproof matches and some storm proof matches as well. So like I was saying it's nice to have a few methods of getting a fire started. So between the matches, the lighter and the ferro rod, I've got three methods of starting a fire. And down here I've got a roll of Gorilla Tape. So it's got a little stick and you just wound it around that. So if I ever need to patch up my tarp or a tent or something I can use this. And then on the left here I've got my Gerber multi-tool. So it's got the pliers on it. Obviously it's got a knife and scissors and all the other bits and pieces that multi-tool has. Some scissors down there. So I generally take this when I go fishing. It is a little bit heavy so I only tend to take when I go fishing. If I'm not going fishing then I might bring this pot hanger instead because that can slot down there as well. And it's aluminium so it's really nice and light but it only serves one purpose. So just get the pan off the fire. But if I'm going fishing I'll take this. So I've got the pliers and I can use the pliers to get the pan off the fire as well as getting the hook out of the fish's mouth if I need to. So it's a good multi-tool. I've just got my knife, fork, spoon combo. It's a pencil. I'll move over to this side. So this is basically where I keep all my camera batteries and electronics. So here I've just got a charger for my batteries. That's just an iPhone cable. Here I've got my Canon batteries. They can just slot into there and I can plug that into my power bank to charge that. I just keep another battery as well. So I usually keep about two batteries or sometimes even a third battery on this side. But generally with a power bank that's more than enough power to last me sort of a couple of days down the bush. And this is my RavPower 10,000 milliamp power bank. I've had this for a number of years and still going pretty strong. I'll probably have to replace it probably the next year or so because obviously the batteries will start to deteriorate. But for the time being it does a pretty good job. It just keeps everything nice and charged up. I've got my headlamp charged up and everything else. In this pocket I've just got my flint and steel kit and also a Fresnel lens or it could be a Fresnel lens. I had someone correct me and say it's actually pronounced Fresnel but either or either. I haven't actually used it yet but pretty keen to try and get the fire started using this with some dried up kangaroo dung. And then here I've just got my flint and my steel and some charcoal in there as well. And if I'm not taking this I can actually fit my little tackle box in here. So that fits in there nice and snug. It's almost like it was made for it. It's pretty perfect. So yeah if I'm not taking my flint and steel I usually chuck my tackle box in here. You guys want to know the dimensions of these pockets. I'll get my ruler. It's about nine centimetres. Yeah they're about nine, nine and a half centimetres these pockets. So if you've got something you think might fit in there. I think my write in the rain notebook also fits in that pocket. And this big pocket over here that's about 13 centimetres. You'll be able to fit something up to about 19 and a half 20 centimetres in there. So yeah a very very handy bit of kit this one. Just need to keep everything nice and organised. I absolutely love it. It just makes life so much easier when you're out in the bush. And having this orange as well kind of makes everything stand out as well. So I quite like that that's a sort of contrasting colour. Yeah very very handy. All right well there you have it. The VanQuest Husky Organiser. It's a great bit of kit. I cannot recommend getting it highly enough. It's just super handy just to keep all your bits and pieces all in one place. And just makes the life living in the bush that much easier. So definitely recommend checking something like that out. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed this review. As always thanks so much for watching. Really appreciate your support.
