[@jtmonsman]

I’ve had a rush 24 for ten years. I’ve used it daily for work, repeatedly for travel and camping, and have had very few issues. I had to reinforce a little stitching on the “collar” portion of the shoulder straps, and replaced two of the plastic buckles after a few too many times getting it caught in the car door, but a great pack for tough use. I added a 2” strap for the waist. I was looking for a slightly larger pack, and the pillow demonstration in this was all I needed! Thanks!

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm glad I could help. The Rush series of backpacks are really made to last. Mine are still going strong after only 6 years of use. It sounds weird saying only 6 years, but you have almost twice as much time on yours.

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Great question at the end. I personally carry a light weight day pack, or also known as a peak bag, or summit pack. The REI flash 18 is one of them.

[@newageselfreliance]

Yeah, that is awesome. I use to carry lightweight packs but now with KZbin and all the camera gear and toys I want to play with on camera, I don't ever go anywhere light anymore lol.

Thanks for the thorough comparison! I have the rush 12 for edc/short trips. I've had it 4 years & it's been around the world with me. The only issue I ever had was busting a buckle on 1 of the sinch straps when I slammed a truck door on it. I was just looking at upgrading to the 24 or 72 for longer trips & your review really helped.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm happy to help.

[@redderm]

I carry the same rush 12. It's been abroad some, and it's been on plenty of hikes and weekend getaways, but mostly its a combo edc and get home bag. Like Mister Mayor here, I'm thinkin about goin 72 also, just so that I have the extra space in case I want it, just planning to keep it cinched tight mostly. fond of those double compression straps. I have a kelty, a north face and a teton for actual backpacking. I'm eager to compare a those with a tactical pack covering more miles.

[@securityeagle9144]

i have all 3 but before you get one look at how much stuff you have first. you don't want to get one to be then maybe start putting extra in it, also it will start to get heavy

[@anoldmaninthewoods2548]

Very thorough description. Thanks. I've been looking at both of them for a while now and have yet to pull the trigger. I have the Moab 10 (or 12) and so far I like it. I will be reviewing that in the coming weeks. Goo job, keep it up!

I also have both packs and use the Rush 72 as my EDC. While you cannot fill every pocket to the brim with the Rush 72's added depth you can use every single pocket for something and still have room in the main dump area in each section. This is why I use it over the Rush 24 as my EDC, room to spare. I have been EDC'ing it to work for about 5 years weighing in around 40 pounds, it has held up really well. Aside from having to stitch up some fraying high wear areas on the yoke in the first year I have not had any issues with it's durability. Thanks for the review.

[@newageselfreliance]

They really are great packs. Every time I leave town I pack the Rush 72. It is the perfect size for a weekend when I have to stay away from the house. I can pack everything I need and might need while still staying organized.

What shelter system to do you use? Also do you use the MMSS or have you found something more effeciant? I have been looking for a different sleep system that weights less and takes up little space but I haven't been able to find a cold weather system that is better than the MMSS.

[@legslewis783]

I bought the 24 pack and a Lima Messenger bag- its a great combination. I bought these packs for overseas travel, so that I could use them for carry on luggage, thus avoiding airport ques.

[@newageselfreliance]

You will have to let me know how they work for traveling. That is probably my most asked question if the 24 makes for a good carry on bag.

[@kosys5338]

I use all the pockets in my Rush 72. You just need to put a little thought in how you pack your load out and use the pockets accordingly. To say if you use one pocket you will lose the use of another is just wrong.

[@newageselfreliance]

The fact that you have to plan how you pack proves that you can't take full advantage of each pocket. It gives you options on how you wanna use each pocket but they do run into each other. The pocket sizes change based on what you have in the pockets behind.

[@GabeCuello]

Great review and appreciated opinions. Subbed! As for what pack, I use Thule Escort 2 now, but miss the freedom of organizing and rucking, that's why I'm looking for a new brand, solid backpack, but also filled with pockets and comfortable straps.

[@newageselfreliance]

I like how the Escort 2 looks like a normal backpack. When I carry the Rush backpacks around town people look at me funny. It would be nice having something that doesn't stick out as much.

[@ShadowScoutSwede]

I have an assualt pack olive drab with molle system and the capacity of that bag is 50 liters and i use it when i´m on a hike or scout camp when you don´t need the main pack and i use this when i go for work as well and it works well for me.

[@newageselfreliance]

Very cool it would be nice if they made a pack that had the molle attachments as well as the capacity of a hiking backpack. That would be perfect.

[@ShadowScoutSwede]

I think i will make a video about that bag next week because i have never done a video on that bag before.

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

I rock the 72.. for camping.. with a water bladder & side pocket with a 2 liter bottle I can carry 5 liters.. I also have a roly-poly pouch for tinder.. it’s definitely a heavy setup 😈👍

[@newageselfreliance]

I really like the roly-poly pouch it seems I'm always finding a different way of using it. I have used it as a water bottle pouch, collecting tinder, holding garbage, the hole on the bottom makes it super easy to clean out. It's just nice having a pouch you can keep on your backpack or use the molle and attach to your belt.

The Mystery Ranch is almost exactly what I am looking for but I will never be able to afford one of their packs. I do try to practice the buy once cry once mindset. However, having an extra $750 to spend on a pack isn't something I can see in my future. Thank You so much for sharing those brands. It really gives me hope that there is a market and maybe more people will pick up on the idea.

I really like the color they do match pretty well. Thank You so much for watching I really appreciate the support!!!

[@mr.delacruz559]

Good job! I use my large alice pack because of the durability and the one huge compartment and the frame. When I want my sleeping gear to be packed eternally I use my U.S Military CFP90 rucksack.It’s a lot bigger but it’s nice to have most everything inside of the pack it also has an eternal frame that is way more comfortable than my Alice. Now these are for 24-72hr options or more but I just bought a Hidden Woodsmen DayRuck and it’s built like a tank and it also has Molle. I plan on this being my go to for day hike or overnighters. It’s just a awesome bombproof pack. The 5:11 packs seems to be another awesome choice. Keep up the great work!!!👍🏼👌🏼👊🏼

[@newageselfreliance]

I just got some pouches form the Hidden Woodsmen and they are built very well I can't believe the craftsmanship he puts into his work. There are a ton of options when it comes to packs and it is hard to pick out the good from the bad but I would say The Hidden Woodsmen is one of the best.

Great comparison video man! I use a couple different bags, depending on what I'm doing. I like to be able to just grab my bag and go, so I have a Vanquest Trident 20 set up for work and I use one of the Recycled Firefighter Battalion bags for regular EDC. I have a Direct Action Dragon Egg that i use for day hiking and car camping. They all have positives and negatives, which you did a nice job of showing with the Rush bags.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm always looking for that one bag to rule them all and it just doesn't exist yet. It would be nice if they made a hiking style backpack with molle webbing. That way you can use all the gear you need without having to mix match or buy double. Thank You so much for watching I really appreciate the support!!!

[@darthblade2016]

Haha, I'm not sure that "one bag to rule them all will ever exist, but keep searching! I am on a budget and cannot see paying that much for bags that I will have to molle things to, but i have heard good things about 5.11 stuff. The Rush bags look very similar to the LAPG Atlas bags (I think the LAPG ones were modeled off the Rush ones) and I'm debating which one of those to get for my next bag purchase. That might be a cool comparison video for down the road. Comparing the Rush bags to their budget "equivalents".

[@newageselfreliance]

That is actually a really good idea. I know that LAPG copied the Rush packs but when it comes to saving money I wonder if the quality is worth the savings. I wear LAPG operator pants all the time and they have served me well at a very budget price. Maybe the packs are the same way???

[@darthblade2016]

Hehe, sometimes i have good ideas. I have some of their LAPG brand gear and it definitely seems like good quality, especially for the price. I mean, even if the Atlas 72 doesn't last quite as long as the Rush 72, the LAPG one is $70 compared to the $150+ for the 5.11 one of similar size. I've seen a couple channels do reviews on the Rush and Atlas bags separately, but not one comparing the two so far.

[@newageselfreliance]

I wrote it down. Maybe I will save up and buy the Atlas just so I can compare the different packs.

[@andrewl6899]

I love my 24 but I travel a lot with my reserve unit. I am a Chaplain assistant and carry a lot of items for service, classes and counseling’s. I just ordered a 72 for the room. But if I was an 88M again the 24 works great for what I need.

I use the 24 as a daypack. It fits everything I might need in an emergency and also the stuff I want to make videos on. I think if you had it and utilized to its full potential you would have everything you could need and more. Thank you the website is WAY more work then I thought it was going to be but it is a lot of fun writing down my ideas and sharing them with everyone. It is also a place I can do whatever I want with no worries of being banned or my videos removed. It is a place I can say or do whatever I want and there is nothing anyone can say or do about it lol. I have been thinking about making a section about guns on the website but I don't personally know enough to really help anyone. I think if my website gets bigger and I get more traffic from people that are more knowledgeable then myself that is when I will make it happen.

[@JeffHanauer]

Good review. Pockets dont save or make space, I see them as a marketing con for tactic-cool geeks. This pack, the 72, considering its class should hold inside a MSS sleep system and a PC. If the 72 cant hold MSS on the inside then it is too small structurally to hold it the MSS on the outside in a practical manner. 72 hours means over nights, and therefore it should accomodate winter sleep system, other wise it is a summer pack.

[@newageselfreliance]

That is one thing I always wondered too. Even 24 hours means sleeping for at least one night, but neither of these fits a sleeping bag very well. Unless you are carrying the bare-bone basics neither of these packs are big enough for the hourly rating on them. They are great packs when it comes to going to a hotel or someone's house where you will be sleeping in a bed or on someone's couch. then they are perfect but on their own, they lack space in my opinion.

Whatever gets you out there is the best pack you can carry. These are very versatile packs that have a lot of options that is why I purchased them. When I go camping I usually bring my Kelty Coyote 80 it is a lot more comfortable but these work really well for shooting videos.

[@simonvance8054]

I have a Rush 12, I’ve never seen better quality heavy duty bags anywhere. Thinking about getting the 72, it has all the room I need for a bug out bag with no external pouches needed. I just wish 5.11 would make a version of the Rush series WITHOUT molle or Velcro for a non tactical grey man look. In terms of inner organisation I’m yet to see better. Am using a Kelty Redwing 44 in a dark grey as a BOB and it is a great bag, super lightweight with an internal frame. However it lacks the heavy duty hard use materials, the ‘bomb proof’ feel and the awesome inner organisation of the Rush series so I’m considering the 72. It’s a choice between lightweight and heavy duty reliability! Thanks..good review...

[@newageselfreliance]

It's hard to find anything from 5.11 that doesn't have Molle Webbing on it. I have looked for a pack made of the same 1050D nylon but it seems everything made with that same material is "tactical" with lots of Molle. If you do end up finding something that is heavy-duty let me know.

[@simonvance8054]

@@newageselfreliance Only non-molle tactical packs I've seen are the Kelty MAP 3500, the Kelty Redwing tactical series and the Blackhawk 3 day assault pack (37L, 1000D nylon, looks awesome but has no internal organization.) None have the awesome internal organization of the Rush series...

[@reaverclan]

Awesome video, I currently use a Swiss IBEX for work (IT repair) and do not need to go camping (eagle scout so that will happen to) but I need a bigger bag with more pockets for the admin aspect. The admin panel of this one looks promising and i'm going to check it out. I think I have just the right amount of small items that I can organize almost all of the pockets for my use case. Again thanks for the great informing video. I do wonder if you think a Klean canteen 20 ounce will easily fit in the side pockets of the 24?

[@newageselfreliance]

When it comes to the side pocket on the 24 a 20oz Gatorade bottle fits in there perfect with room to spare. So even if your Klean Kanteen is a little taller it should still fit in my opinion. It is really great bag and I use it often. I really like how you can fill the pockets or just lay them flat, it really makes it a very versatile pack.

[@reaverclan]

Thanks appreciate the reply.

[@thornmollenhoff8698]

Thanks for the video. How durable are those molly attachments? I am looking to upgrade my pack and never have used the molly system before. I plan to get the 72 liter one and will be getting the molly attachment for the water like the one you got from self reliance outfitters. I always have a 64 ounce water bottle with me and I do a lot of running with my backpack. So my concern is that the molly pack holding the 64 oz water bottle will bounce around a lot and possibly break the molly attachments. How secure is the molly attachments?

[@newageselfreliance]

If you run the Molle over and under like you are supposed to do it will hold really well. If you slide the straps behind the webbing without weaving it then there might be a problem. I would not recommend using the Molle Sticks on a 64oz water bottle only because with the weight I would want the best connection possible. However, here is a video that might help you understand what I'm talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnK6kqOclJypo7c If you have a first aid kit or something lighter than water the Molle Sticks might help you as well.

[@teresanoble1496]

I am looking at the 72 but I am not sure it will carry correctly. I am 5'3" so some packs hang to low. I also need a really padded hip belt to carry the load. Can you tell me how thick it is?

[@newageselfreliance]

The hip belt isn't really padded at all. It isn't very big either. I have found that "tactical" backpacks are not made for comfort. They are rugged and hold up really well but they are not comfortable. If you are looking for comfort I would suggest getting more of a "backpacker" style bag that is made for long-distance hiking.

[@newageselfreliance]

That is a lot of packs. I would love to have my packs set up the way you do but I'm always getting different gear. I am constantly switching things around and changing things up. I really do enjoy using these packs. They aren't as comfortable as my backpacking packs but they are very well built and I feel will hold up much better than my Kelty.

[@gonzalonunez7269]

Realy nice video, im thinking to buy a 72 as e.d.c. because i also will use for travel, i hope its wasnt to big to go work every day in my motorbike, what do you think? I wight 113kg and 1.80mts tall (sorry for my inglish i speak spanish)

[@newageselfreliance]

It depends on how much you carry. Neither of these bags compresses really well. So you will have to fill them up so the weight doesn't shift when you are on your motorbike.

[@fernsehnostalgie]

Right now i have the Rush24 and Rush72 for comparison at home. Im 183cm and my feeling is, the Rush72 feels more comfortable and looks more mature on my back, even when its heavier, which is the downside. I still have some days left to test, but i think, i will go for the Rush72, altough i dont need all the space of this one. Did you also test TAD Fast Packs? Still not sure, if they are really that much better. They look awesome, but i think they are build out from almost the same material as the 5.11 packs.

[@newageselfreliance]

I haven't tried the fast packs. I use the Rush 72 a lot more than the 24 also. It is just more comfortable and easier to pack in my opinion.

[@fernsehnostalgie]

@@newageselfreliance Absolutely. They both have their pros and cons. I think i will keep both, the 24 for going into the woods or for a bike ride, the 72 is great for travelling. It would be cool if the 24 would support an easier access to water bottles as you have to open the main area every time. This is a USP for the 72. Still want to check out the TAD Fast Pack, if its really worth its price or just so high because of the "Made in USA". The shoulders straps look more comfortable but the zip lines are not water protected, which is def. a downside. Even if the material is water repellent, it will go trough the zipper holes.

@@Ayrton4everrr I actually use the Rush 24 the most often. It's nice having a small bag to just through things in and go. Caroline uses it all the time to visit friends and family. She like how durable it is and the clamshell opening helps her stay organized and gives her an easy spot to keep all of her things.

[@Ayrton4everrr]

I need the 24 for work as an edc. I have a 5:11 patrol bag, love it, but it’s a little bulky for my needs as the bag is stiff and cannot fit everywhere. Also I need a range bag, so the patrol bag will be used for my range days as it fits the purpose perfectly, and use the money to buy the 24 instead.

[@alzathoth]

i own a 72, and i find that i can fit an entire crusader cookset into one side pouch(which i LOVE), and a LARGE 10'x10' tarp in the other side. for the top compartment, i put a compass and mapping tools into the mesh pocket, and slip a folded map into the slip pocket. i LIKE the hip belt. comfortable for me, but i haven't attached any pouches to it yet. probably attach a foraging pouch and knife to it in the future. i don't use the water bladder pocket for a water bladder. i don't like the weight. looking at the MOAB 10 and attachment system. still undecided. way i see it, is all the non essentials in the 72, and then use the tier system and put all essential items for survival into the MOAB 10. IMO the only thing the 72 needs is a stiffer bottom on the bottom of the main pouch for stability.

[@newageselfreliance]

The only reason I don't like sling bags is because they are so hard to take off. Especially when they are full of gear. I would rather have two backpacks that I can quick grab and go.

well, i use the condor II because it's all i have. i'm going to buy the rush 72. the condor II isn't big enough all of the time. i don't go long distance hiking though. i'm not real picky. it doesn't have to have all the pockets and such, but i do like them. personally for me i would prob nev buy a pack bigger than the 72 because i wouldn't want to haul that much gear with my body. get around 40 pounds of gear and i'm too worn out to enjoy myself. i also don't go out in the heat too much either. i do fall and spring trips and i live on a farm where we camp out at a base camp often but in summer we do it about dark and come back in the house about 1pm or so. condor II is smaller and doesn't have all the pockets but i like it a lot even still. one thing i don't care for about the rush 24 is the top outer pocket being sewn into halfs instead of one big pocket. thumbed up - thx4 video.

[@vinchenzo101]

I've got both. I've brought the 72 on planes and while it fits into the overhead compartment, I felt that it was just that bit too big. So I bought a 24 which is more suitable for planes. I find the 24 to be a more practical day bag and the 72 is better for backpacking, camping, weekend trips etc.

[@passwordistaco507]

How did you secure the axe to the 72

[@newageselfreliance]

On the Rush 72, I have done it two different ways. I either use the compression straps on the side of the bag or the front section pulls away from the main bucket and I will put the head of the Axe in that pocket and then sinch it all down.

[@TheAudaciousAdventurer]

Dude, quick question... thinking of getting the rush 24... I travel around the world a lot (handluggage only) I’ve made do with a North Face Borallias (28L) for the most of my travels, but is always stuffed full to the brim with the seams nearly popping lol. My question is do you think the Rush 24 will be a good fit for this type of travel? Could I live for 10 days out of the rush 24 in hot climates (minimal clothes taken). Would you recommend the rush 24, or the goruck GR2 (if you’ve seen/had experience with that one). Thanks mate.

[@newageselfreliance]

The Rush 24 is about a 37L bag, so it isn't much bigger than your North Face but if you can pack the smaller bag smart I'm sure you will like the room the Rush 24 has. Also if you don't use the pockets and just fold them out of the way you can fit a lot in this pack.

wolf pack woodcraft thanks mate. Really appreciate it. I was thinking of the 72, but I think that it may be a little too big to be used for everything you might possibly need a bag for (including a small half day trip). I might be mistaken but it looks absolutely huge so opting for the 24 I think.

I just used some webbing I had left over from making Hammock straps. I also used the slide buckles from an old MMSS compression bag. They work really well. I suggest Poly webbing instead of nylon because the nylon stretches over time. Here is the webbing I like to use amzn.to/2LOYehN and here are some slide buckles I don't like any of these options in the link but just to give you an idea amzn.to/2LhCSh3 I like the 3 hole buckles that can be sewed on.

Here is my question though if you were only looking for one bag to use for day purpose and not thrwe day adventures....... if the rush 72 is only $25 or so more than the rush 24, why would you not just buy the 72 bc of it's size advantage and capabilities even though it might be a little more than whay you need.

[@newageselfreliance]

I know a lot of people like the Rush 24 because it is the right size for the carry on when flying in most planes. Also, the weight saving is big for some people the smaller lighter pack is a perk to some. For me, I use both bags for different things but I if I could only choose one I would choose the Rush 72 only because it can do everything the 24 can do and more.

[@kurtdiegel7430]

I saw online that Academy Sports has the Rush 72 on clearance for $129. Even though the Rush 24 might be a better fit for me, that price cant be beat.

nice vids! Is the rush 24 enough for 3 days supply Go-bag in case of emergency? thanks

[@newageselfreliance]

The numbers on the Rush series stands for hours. So the Rush 24 is a 24 hour day pack while the Rush 72 is a 72 hour or 3 day pack. I don't think the 24 will be big enough for a full 3 day kit with food and everything but if you need something lightweight with just the bare bone essentials than it might work.

There isn't really a way to use them all at the same time as people have said in other videos.

All pockets and pouches are FLAT on the 24 except the 2 inner ones, like you said if one is used the other is useless. Same for the 72 except the 'water bottle' pockets. the admin pocket on both is only 1'' deep' again virtually flat. Waist belt on the 72 is useless. Releives no weight, only side to side movement, which puts all weight on shoulders. These are not 'outdoor' packs

[@newageselfreliance]

Tactical bags aren't built for comfort that's for sure. They are very modular and can be used for many different things. They are more of a jack of all trades master of none kinda pack. I use an old Kelty Coyote 80 for when I go backpacking. It is MUCH more comfortable and puts the weight on my hips. Thank You so much for watching I really appreciate the support!!!

[@o.brygier2364]

I do not think that the waist belt is useless. For myself I found out, that it is all about the form fit between the back panel of the pack and the "hollow curve" of your lower back. The function of the hip belt and its fins is only to prevent your rucksack from slipping over the transition to your ass. For example - on my Rush 24, I inserted half round elements of styrofoam behind the plastic board of the back panel. Once the so shaped pack is perfectly sitting on your back (vertical position), you do have some relief on the shoulder straps. Of course, I had to add a hip belt (I found one at Tasmanian Tiger (1.5'') which fits perfectly into the pre-mounted brackets). I will do the same mod on the R 72, which I will receive next week. On that one, there is already an S-curved Aluminum profile on the board, which can be bent accordingly. I am afraid my explanation is too complicated, but I do hope that the main idea can be understood. Best regards from Germany!

[@HeisenbergT94]

You seem to be complaining about the bags having too many pockets/pouches that remove internal space when filled up but naturally in any bag, you fill it up... it is going to make the negative space smaller. Pretty sure 5.11 put all of those pockets, zippers, compartments ect. to give you multiple options and not to just use every single pouch because it's there

[@newageselfreliance]

I agree. My favorite part of these packs is the options that they provide. I just see other videos talking about how it can hold so much because of the pockets and pouches where I don't see that as the case.

[@h3llrayzor59]

Not a comfortable pack.. AT ALL!!! The straps dig into your shoulders after a few miles on the trail. The straps have no load lifters so the pack sags down & away from your shoulders thus making for a less than appealing time out in nature. Also, if you are more than say 5' 10" MAX, it won't fit your Torso anyways. The waist strap will not sit on your waist. I found out the hard way as I'm 6'5" tall. Don't get me wrong... It's a good quality pack... It's just not for me.

[@newageselfreliance]

I agree these packs are not as comfortable as hiking style backpacks. They are built way better though. It is a weird trade-off I don't understand why they don't make a comfortable hiking style pack made with the same materials as the Tactical packs? You would think comfort would be the most important part of any backpack.
