Pretty disappointing to see the unicorn 2.0 is a limited drop item, would love to have one. Not a big fan of the carryology hype culture. It is a nice bag nonetheless.

I originally planned to make this just about readily available bags and not limited editions. But changed it up simply because of how much I like the design. That said, if you remove it, the MPL22 is an easy call to crown the champ!

This year, i bought one bag. After deciding that one bag backpack air travel is inferior to two bag carry on travel with a rollaboard and personal item, I went searching for a smaller backpack that qualifies as a personal item on all major domestic airlines and could pull double duty as an EDC bag. I purchased the GR Bullet DC16 and could not be more pleased. I am not surprised it made JB's top 3. It holds all my tech, toiletries, liquids and more. Just about everything I need on a trip except clothes and shoes. So if the overhead bins are ever full and I have to check my rollaboard at the gate, I will always have my essentials with me. The Bullet DC16 is convenience and peace of mind in a GoRuck guaranteed for life wrapper.

I bought the GR Bullet DC 18L for travel. For me, it'll hold all clothing I would need, my liquids bag, tech (I don't have a lot of tech), etc. However, I will still need to bring a crossbody bag for snacks and a crochet project. I'm not mad about it, tho. Still less bags than I had when I went to Ireland, and that was my goal because switching from plane, to taxi, to train, to taxi, to car rental, and having to transfer three bags each time, was such a pain. Gonna try to EDC the bag for a bit to get a feel for comfort on me because it's bigger than what I'm used to, and I'm not 100% sure about the shoulder straps on my narrower shoulders just yet. I also purchased a Griffin, and that actually would work as one-bag travel for me, but that back panel makes my back hot, so that's a no-go. But my husband will use it, most likely, when we travel.

For me it's either the Rucker 4.0 or the GR3 35L. I use the Rucker a lot more but the GR3 was an insta buy since I've wished the GR2 34L would be one compartment. Congratulations for 10k subscribers btw, well deserved! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🏻

So my channel is going to go up pretty soon and I’ve been following yours for a little while… if I’m lucky, I will be doing my bag of the year right after I receive my Kaidan 3.0 bullet from the ultra collection. We have a lot of similarities in taste when it comes to bags but I started my journey (no pun) being almost exclusively a sling/crossbody bag enthusiast which is kind of different than the route most people take when venturing into technical aspects of carry such as materials, carry options, etc… I purposely waited to get the double compartment bullet from the kaidan 3.0 release so as tempted as I was to grab the rip stop version, I am glad that I paced myself and waited for the ultra variant as I’m sure it’s going to easily break my top five edc packs of the year even tho I did notice that it’s not made in the USA which I don’t care too much about but definitely interesting that Goruck didn’t stay true to overbuilt in the USA concept when collaborating with Carryology for the entire drop but that aside… what are the chances that you’re getting the metal patch? I’m so curious to see bc I actually submitted my order one minute before the hour of the drop which has never happened before but we shall see… long story short I did get mystery ranch unicorn 2.0 in two color variants which is something I’ve also done for the spartanalogy Cerberus drop and my edc color ways on both drops are woodland camo on spartanology and coyote/camo on unicorn 2.0…. I’m kind of rambling here but to be perfectly honest the biggest disappointment I have about unicorn 2.0 and also am extremely relieved that I wasn’t one of the 30 “lucky” people who ended up getting the $1200 USA variant of this bag because as much as I love just about every feature of the unicorn resurrection- there’s just no way that bag measures true to its advertised 22L capacity which is a bummer bc with all the bells and whistles and dope features this unicorn brings, it fails to deliver on the most important one in my opinion which is volume. Which makes Goruck stand out almost at the other pole of the spectrum bc I did grab the 26L M23 and I’m not kidding but I can literally fit double the load out in m23 26L than the unicorn 2.0… that aside I had a feeling you were going to have that as your bag of the year even tho I know you’re a huge Goruck guy whereas I’m pretty much mystery ranch over Goruck in general but I have to stay true and mention that you can always count on Goruck to be as voluminous as advertised. All that aside my other top choices include 1733 side pack 3.5 L sling in recently dropped micro grid and the 2.0 variant of code of bells annex wallet sling which to no surprise is even more awesome in eco pac than it’s smaller sibling in x pac. I haven’t yet decided on my top choice this year yet but I have a gnawing suspicion that the double bullet from kaidan 3.0 will carry a lot of weight in making that decision. It’s been an interesting year in Carry world and I will post the link to my channel as soon as it’s up and running - as usual thanks for amazing content and catch you on the up and up- peace!! Ps: I notice you love your melin hats and I’ve been grabbing more of their special drops as of late namely odyssey scout and am seriously considering getting that $300 fancy trenches as I call the decade bar hat bc I actually have some of the first Melins from about 10 years ago and they have come a long way I must admit… I did just miss out on the odyssey stacked infinite thermal blacked out with red plaid pattern on the inside but you can’t get them all… I might just settle for the Coronado in the same finish 😊

I like my mystery ranch backs for actually hiking and search and rescue, but as an EDC bag I just can't put them into rotation because of the zipper system. It's not great for getting daily use items out and ... well I just feel like that main compartment zipper set up actually lessens the space in the pack. For example, it feels way more difficult to pack out a Scree 32 to capacity and access the very same items I would put into a GR1 26L. It never really feels like you have the total liters of capacity the bags say you have.

Wished they did a GR1/2/3 in the material without the Heritage cost).
