Maxpedition Neatfreak Organizer

Customer Reviews:* I purchased this bag in August of 2010 and it sat unused for a long time until I finally figured out how to properly use it as an EDC bag. It took a long time to get to that point for all of the reasons that people "Con" it. What I found out is that it needs a long break-in time packed tight with a lot of "junk" to expand it along with a lot of human crunching, twisting, and abuse to loosen it up. I removed the middle "flap" and retired it to the closet, making the Neatfreak a LOT less cumbersome.After I got it sufficiently "loose enough," I removed all of the "junk" used to expand it, and realised something that amazed me - my current EDC bag, a fully-loaded Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer would fit *PERFECTLY* in the back pocket with the fold-down Velcro strap! Most of my "must-have" EDC items were in the Fatty, but I regretted not being able to carry in it a few other items that I wanted. But now, with the Fatty sitting in the Neatfreak's back pocket, I could add those few items that I was missing.The most notable item was a bottle of Hand Sanitiser! I like this product a lot because I can easily clean my hands without a visit to the bathroom of wherever I am, and since it is more than 60% alcohol, it makes a great fire-starting accelerator too! The bottle fits perfectly to the left side of the Fatty - outside the pocket - and on the right side I keep my Leatherman Surge multi-tool. In the small pockets between them, I keep a magnesium fire stick and a knife sharpener.On the opposite side of the Fatty, I keep pens, paper, an emergency blanket, and on the strap I keep an emergency whistle. In the gun magazine pockets, I keep USB cables for my cell-phone and camera (which themselves reside in the Fatty) along with two spare batteries for the cell-phone, matches and a lighter for my three ways of starting a fire in an emergency. In spite of all of that, there is still plenty of room for other items! I keep germ masks in case of emergencies in the front webbing pocket, and for quick access, my IDs, credit cards, and cash in the front zipper pocket.Finally, I keep a large pill bottle filled with cotton balls to round-out my EDC. The cotton makes good tinder - just soak it in Hand Sanitiser, and the pill bottle can double as a cup to drink out of in an emergency situation.The Neatfreak is now my favourite EDC bag and it goes with me everywhere! I love the modularity of having it hold the Fatty. I am a confirmed Neatfreak fanatic and never leave home without it. * All maxpedition items we have purchased have been great quality. They are worth the extra money over cheaper brands. I recommend it for smaller guns like a Ruger LC9. What kept this from 5 stars is they show a larger gun similar to glock 17 in images. On larger handguns it is hard to quickly get them in and out of the bad. It tends to catch on the lip by the zipper delaying draw of weapon. Had this issue when trying glock 17, fn 5.7 and fnx40. Don't misunderstand me. These guns will fit, you just have to fully unzip the whole bag to get them out which would take too much time in a tactical situation. You can't just leave it unzipped as gun would fall out. Other than that observation this is a great bag. I highly recommend all maxpedition items.
