$50 GORUCK Alternative?! 5.11 Tac Essential (Feat. Bullet Ruck 15, Kletterwerks Summit, RF Chief)

In this video, I take a look at the 5.11 Tac Essential backpack. A “slicked” out version of their popular Rush series of bags can the Tac Essential really be a compelling GORUCK alternative at just $50!? Watch the video and see what you think!

That magazine joke.. got you a subsciber.

I'll take it ;)

I have this bag and it's cool for $50. You're the only person that has a review on the 5.11

[@jtinseoul7041]

It's a decent bag. Just wish the front lining was the same as it is in the Rush series.

[@chrisdonnell2575]

Curious how much weight you can comfortably hold with it?

[@pebble888]

Josh loving your recent work. I’m absolutely certain your channel will go from strength to strength!

[@jtinseoul7041]

I hope so! I kinda took a risk going away from my photography background (more known as a photographer in places like instagram and the like) to just kind of grow from scratch, bag nerd friends in tow ;) I must say, I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I can get technically better, still struggling with that. My X100V doesn't really enjoy being a video camera, haha.

Surprised they've not taken me away yet.

The Goruck GR1 costs more than 600USD where I live!😂

[@Insuranceization]

Go Ruck all the way... Not to mention they just launched a Bullet with a specific laptop compartment...

[@federicocedillo]

how can i get this if its no longer on amazon?

[@plaguesofwrath]

Does the laptop compartment have enough strength to hold a 20 or 30lb weight plate? In my opinion that would be the real deciding feature on whether or not that bag would be a suitable alternative to a goruck bag.

[@jtinseoul7041]

My friend is pretty into rucking, I'll get him to test it out and I'll get back to you.

[@plaguesofwrath]

@@jtinseoul7041 that would be pretty awesome man, I appreciate it

Any update on this?

Hey jt, would you want to sell this? If you still have it?

[@mftjuliusgonzales5017]

Hi Jtinseoul, will a 15 inch laptop fit in the main compartment of the Goruck bullet 15L 2021? Would like to buy a Goruck to fit my laptop and the bullet 15 will be nice in my price budget.

[@jtinseoul7041]

My 15 inch Macbook Pro fits in that sleeve just fine ;) Just have to remember there isn't much padding but the back and bottom is pretty well padded. I honestly really, really like the bullet 15. I use it more than the slick.

[@mftjuliusgonzales5017]

@@jtinseoul7041 thanks! :) Nice to know! I got the discontinued Bullet 10L as my daily carry for work and because of the pandemic, we are required now to carry our laptops everytime...my bag cant accomodate it. Btw, my laptop is an HP (around 1 inch thick) 15inch one. More power to you bro. Your channel is very informative and enjoyable.

[@jtinseoul7041]

Can't say for sure if your laptop would fit in the sleeve, but, it would for sure fit in the main compartment. The 10L ruck is definitely a small guy ;) Great for a packable bag though! Probably a USA made too right?

[@mftjuliusgonzales5017]

@@jtinseoul7041 main compartment is okay for me. Would sacrifice not having to fit in the sleeve as long as I got a handsome topped bag, as your wife said with the Bullet. :) 15L wod also be a good size for the office. Purchased mine on sale, made in USA with 1000D Cordura (i think.). Very tough and handsome too! Right size if I dont need to bring home my giant laptop.

[@ChrisBranleh]

I don’t see this bag on Amazon anymore

[@jtinseoul7041]

I think it's sold out..

bro these are uncomparable -_-. the sole purpose of the bullet is the weight wich is 450gr. this one weights 0.84. almost twice..
