The Mystery Ranch Blitz 35 Backpack is a super well-designed EDC (everyday carry) backpack made for those who value durability, functionality, and military carryover.

Fantastic video, really appreciate it. As a landscape/adventure Photog I really appreciated the deep dive. I’ve been using/ enjoying a go-ruck 40…but this vid def has me considering this pack now.

[@Engearment]

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. It’s a great pack for sure. We have a few other camera based backpack reviews in simulation size on the channel that might interest you as well. Wandrd and nomadic have some good adventure camera packs. I really like the District for my gear. Though, not waterproof. If it was, it would be perfect.

[@Joe.dirt7909]

I’m between this and the rip-ruck 32

[@_apocalypseK9_]

Is the molly on the side, top portion, wide enough to attach the essentials kit bag from helikon tex ?

[@MH_6160]

I have the Blitz 30 and it's more than enough for a 3 day trip… the 35 is huge, not sure who would EDC that much gear and require such a large bag. I could see it perfect for a 4-5 hike though.

[@glenhagerman746]

I bought this pack a couple weeks ago, I really like the layout of the pack, the issue I have is the waist belt is to big, it dosnt have enough adjustment, I have the s/m and am 5'10 150lbs

[@davidjoseph4459]

Not really the look I want from an EDC backpack, but I appreciate the review. Personally like GoRuck, Evergoods, AER and Bellroy best. Happy Sunday.

[@Engearment]

Hey David! Thanks for the note. I have not worked with those brands, yet. I will look into them to see what they offer. Mystery Ranch has lots of other packs as well. 👌

[@jkamp]

Did the Blitz 30 video ever happen? I couldn’t find it.

[@brianlaguardia9122]

Thanks, good looking pack - although I hope Mystery Ranch will incorporate back panel access into more of their packs (I think they only have it in one now). How does this pack ventilate and does it have an internal frame?

[@Engearment]

Hey Brian! I like the back panel access in my backcountry ski pack from MR. it would be nice to see that carry over here as well. Bag vents as good as their other padded packs. The only frame that I know of, is the back panel. Hope that helps!

[@paulcaban4881]

Hi, great review and I am definitely purchasing this pack for an upcoming trip. I was just wondering what size you purchased. I am between a S/M and L/Xl with a torso length of 18.5" so I'm not sure which harness would be a better fit for me. I have a muscular build, 40" chest measurement, so I was leaning towards the L/XL but my concern is the belt will not fit me properly. Any input you can offer is appreciated.

[@paulcaban4881]

Just saw that you ordered the S/M! You look about my size so I am ordering the same. Do you know if there are any beaver tail attachments available for this pack?

[@Qjemuse]

Thanks for the concised short review. How would you rate the straps on this though? It looks quite thin from the vid. If you've tried a 3DAP pre 2018 how would you compare the 2? Thanks again

[@Engearment]

Hello Johnny! I have not used the 3DAP from 2018. So, can’t offer that comparison. I have used the 2020 2DAP though. Those straps a a bit thicker than the ones on this pack. Though, the straps on this pack are thicker and more robust than they may appear on this video. Hope that helps!

[@Qjemuse]

@@Engearment thanks for the info. And the search continues...

[@user-cy5gh6sl5j]

Прекрасный обзор! Уважение вам! Большое спасибо за ваш труд!

[@jeremyInspired]

This looks like the blackjack 35. Ive got a question though, Is the front pouch removable ? Great content.

[@Engearment]

Thank you! Front pouch does not remove though.

[@4891Cody]

Just got the blitz 35 in black in the mail today. I really like the bag but I will say the hip belt sucks. It’s a basic backpack strap far smaller then what is on the coulee 40. It’s a great bag that I will use daily at work but serious long distance hiking I would use something else.

[@Engearment]

Good call on that. The Coulee is a great bag

[@jeffdur1330]

Hikers are sleeping on these mystery ranch packs, I thru hike with this for months at a time and it's absolutely perfect for hiking.

[@avery5471]

​@@jeffdur1330exactly, I'm a Wildland firefighter, and love these mystery ranch packs

[@intan9077]

Have you used this on an airline? Would it fit under the seat or at least as a carry on? Thank you!

[@saleen692]

I wonder the same thing but I bet the blitz 30 I’m guessing be better for under seat but don’t know

[@NathanSmith-fl2xg]

Well I’m getting one, are there drain holes on the bottom for the main compartment? Also how do I get some stickers?

[@Engearment]

Yes Sir! There are drain holes for the main compartment. Shoot me an email, and I will get you set up! [e-mail]

[@janetbailey6727]

Any idea of the difference between this and the blackjack 35?

[@rayngrace]

The main difference between the Blitz 35 and the Blackjack LT 35 is internal. The Blitz 35 has a padded laptop sleeve and 2 internal sleeve pockets, while the Blackjack LT 35 has an internal MOLLE panel.

[@zac_in_ak]

Is the 18l different other than size?

[@Engearment]

Great question. I am not sure. But I will find out. That would be a great size for quick hits. ⛰👌

[@zac_in_ak]

@@Engearment That would be great during the winter in Alaska I have a Scree for EDC but need something smaller for summer

[@ghs5730]

is the belt removable？

[@Engearment]

Yep! Easy to remove.

[@glenhagerman746]

Yes

[@PB4KC]

Would you consider this bag beneficial for someone who wants to EDC their CCW?

[@Engearment]

Hello Preston. Thank you for the question. What is a CCW?

[@Engearment]

I have a guess, but I want to confirm before I can safely answer. Thank you!

[@PB4KC]

@@Engearment a concealed carry weapon. I personally carry a G19, so I’m wondering if this is something that might be compatible

[@glenhagerman746]

I have this pack, for me it would be to big for edc, I got it for 2-3 day hunting pack

[@jeffdur1330]

All this can be yours for the low low price of $329 + tax.

[@Engearment]

Yes. You get what you pay for.

[@JJPsyc]

This is a dope pack, but not as dope as the Martin and Gibson hanging on the wall.

[@Engearment]

YES! Good eyes my friend. I LOVE these two guitars. Both are gifts from my wife for anniversaries. You can not go wrong with either Gibson or Martin. Take care!

[@AndysProTips]

6:22 Why do you need so many iPads lol 😂

[@Engearment]

😆 does seem excessive right?! I use iPad Pro for zoom fitness class, iPad mini for notes during those classes. MacBook for content creating. Plus, it’s free exercise too carry the extra weight 😆🤣

[@avery5471]

Where is a good place for a ruck plate?
