GORUCK GR1 What's In My Backpack? EDC/TECH

[@BruceWayne-zj1kw]

When they say they’re “silent zippers”, they don’t mean the zipper itself but the actual pulls. Because it’s paracord with the rubber shrink wrap instead of the metal tabs, it doesn’t have those *cling-clang* sounds you get walking around with other bags. Hella stealth on some Batman shit

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Yep.. someone else pointed out my idiocracy.. Thanks tho man.. See ya ✌🏾

[@rent2242]

Thank you for saying this! People keep misinterpreting the “silent zippers” sayinv

[@allsport916]

I love this breakdown. You explained things so concisely. Well done.

[@derekatkins8494]

I enjoy watching EDC videos. Especially someone who is in an urban environment. And I've been eyeing that peak design organizer ever since your video on it. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet...Great video!

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Totally understand.. I waited a long time too because the cost is so high. A lot of people are buying them tho.. They were out of stock on Amazon when I went to buy one. Checkout ebay, Peak Designs sells their store refunded items on there. I picked one up for $10 off. See ya

[@jmppodcast]

Ordered the Goruck 25 liter. Goruck has a closeout section on the site now so finally picked one up. Super excited to be getting one finally.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Nice

[@ElectrULove]

I've observed something that made me reconsider buying a Goruck. Goruck promotes and show off physically demanding rucking, but surprisingly, their bags do not provide a way to hang a water bottle. This aspect caught my attention and made me question their design choice.

[@misterllemos]

Keeping the spoon and fork on you at all times is a great idea. Gonna go with it. Thanks man.

[@yenhan705eh77]

I believe the side molle is used for attaching their waist strap which they sell separately on their website. Along with the sternum strap.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I think your right! Thanks for the info! See ya ✌🏾

[@TommyLane]

You can also put a water bottle pocket on the side. I do and it works very well.

[@RClarkTwo]

I think we need an updated version now that we're all going back to the office!

[@ABD4VIDS]

Awesome job as always G!!

[@CeeMKE]

Excellent review. I just bought the CamelBak chute based on this review, used your link. Love your reviews, do you think you can do a review on the Knack Knackpack? Interested to see your thoughts on it.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Sure.. thanks for the suggestion.. Be safe ✌🏾

[@erasmusmonk]

Nicely done. Keep coming back to this review while I’m deciding on the gr1.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

GR1 is hard to beat.. changed my idea of what is possible far as quality.. See ya ✌🏾

[@TheMorganrp]

David, did you buy a gr1 yet? I absolutely love mine and it is the perfect bag that I have been searching for, for years.

[@towerempire]

Very nice review and thank you for the links. I also pack as much as possible into my bag as I need to have my things readily available. I love packs and bags and keep switching out.. but keep going back to my package 325. I had been eating this bag and still can't make up my mind.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Package 325? Let me know I'm curious

[@towerempire]

@@GeorgeDEFINED I'm sorry mean pacsafe 325. Dumb keyboard correction.

[@Brizizaz]

Great review man, thank you!!

[@Yooper05]

You are the first person I’ve seen say something about the ventilation against the back. Every time I go out rucking, I come back drenched all up and down my back, even through my sweatshirt. Great review! Thanks.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Back sweat is REAL! Love the bag. Just needs a vent! See ya

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Drives me nuts they didnt extend the molle up about two more rows so a water bottle can be attached without hanging down.

[@ironhokie8764]

Love the gallery place shots

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Yeah.. I work like three blocks away.. a little lunch time shoot. See ya ✌🏾

Does this have an easily accessible CCW pouch? If not, anybody know a bag that's close to this one that does? Preferably one with a similar laptop compartment?

[@halloweendad0543]

No problem man, I bought this bag last night cause of your review lol.

[@c.henry.3]

Evergoods cpl 24 is so similar... Much cheaper and awesome! I picked up a grey on sale... Nice bag dump. That whole setup would be better in the cpl! Mainly because of the front pocket's usefulness...

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I like the CPL24 too.. Do you think they are going to do a redesign on the front panel?

[@c.henry.3]

@@GeorgeDEFINED I hope so... Also would love if they made it slightly about 7L bigger

I just ordered a gray CPL 24 as well.

I like video, I would like a comparison of the GORUCK GR1 vs TIPLEAUGHTDESIGN LITESPEED bag

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Me too.. I can't get TAD on the phone.. Be safe ✌🏾

[@sanjuan4942]

Hey George- I edc a recycled fire fighter 24 hour pack no molle much better front pocket layout- orange for vis on main pocket and pack interior - but what really sold me was the removable stiff Velcro panel insert Sold separate to allow for modular pocket attachment. I don’t think the build quality is on par with GR but it’s still better than most and way less than GR but for some reason there is no warranty which lame

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I actually did some research on them today but I ran into the same problem.. the warranty is non existent and they have a strange return policy.. 🤔 I sent Jake an email to ask to review a bag side by side with the GR1. I'll see if he responds?? See ya ✌🏾

[@TommyLane]

Nice video. I love my GR1 26L, too. I have the 21L also which I bought first. Nice bag, just not big enough for my needs. The 26L is just right. I may wind up getting the Peak Design tech bag based on this video. Thanks. Good job.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks my man! See ya ✌🏾

[@gonefishingapodaca]

How does it compare to the kifaru antero? Capacity and usage. Thanks! I have the 26L as well.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

The Antero has better features.. water bottle holders, back panel, organization pocket and GR1 better build, better shoulder straps and capacity, materials and colors. I like the GR1 a little better.. See ya ✌🏾

[@stfuerik]

pretty sure when they say silent zipper they mean the zipper pull. not the actual zipper. no metal zipper pull clanging together while the bag moves around

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Awwh.. I gotcha.. I was like I can still hear this $hit! lol See ya

[@pittwm]

Have you done Haley Strategic Flat Pack?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I don't understand why companies don't offer a variant of their bags without the Molle system. I mean I get, but l find it useless for my purposes and the tactical look worries people and I'm trying to be lowkey.

I had the same complaint about the RUSH series.. no one listens to the small guy on the internet.. see ya ✌🏾

[@RyanAbulon]

They had a few years back, it was a stealth model with no molle, and no patch. I still have mine, and it was made in USA. I am keeping mine, the value goes up for discontinued models that will probably never come back.

@@RyanAbulon That is very cook, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled in case they drop a limited edition in the future.

Too overpriced for me. As a commenter here said, why they didn't extend the number of PALS/MOLLE webbing up a bit more? Also it has no "structural integrity", can't stand on its own. And the padding on the shoulder is just too thin

[@E-MountainBikerBae]

Ive never been that intrigued with GORUCK. Seems very overpriced to me in my opinion. Thanks for the edc dump tho. One.

[@amie704]

Yeah, the fist time I saw the price I said "no way." Then I bought one on a Christmas deal along with Vet discount. It is a bag like no other. It is simple with not the best organization but the quality is what blows away the ones that are pure China.

[@Virtualmix]

Nice review and cool bag but can't justify spending $250+ for something so basic. Not very good value for money compared to well known brand such as North Face.
