One-bag travel with a GoRuck Bullet 18 2-compartment

[@paulCJH]

Hi Andy, Great Video. I just wanted to find out how big is the laptop compartment. Rumour has it that it can fit a 15-inch mac Macbook Air, but I never gotten any confirmation on this from goruck's website.

[@tracycollier6178]

Would love to know this as well! Mine doesn’t fit in my 16L Bullet Laptop and am thinking of trying this one.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Sadly, I don't have a computer that big, though it fits my 14" macbook pro just fine.

[@flareslove]

Would be good to see this vs the gr2 26L

Hey Andy what is that Toiletry case you have there that you put your razor into?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

It’s a deuter wash bag

[@HighFrameRate]

Welcome back!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Thanks! It's been hard for me to dig up the mental energy to film a lot lately, but when I realized I looked over my packed bag as though I was narrating a video, I thought I might as well film it!

[@MS-ge2jb]

IMHO the shoulder strap is not wide and thick enough to bear that much weight.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I don’t think it’s necessarily a big enough bag for it to be a problem

[@RebeccaSmith77]

Also, it's awesome that you referred to your TB Side Effect as a purse. I love that. Not many dudes would do that.😊

[@McAero08]

Thx Andy. It seems to hold more than 18 litres. I would even put it above the 21 LGR1. I think it’s time you bring out your socks again and make a comparison video. 😁 That 26 liter comparison video is really helpful. And they socks are a great visualisation.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Definitely a comparison worth making. Sadly, I’ve downsized on the socks, so I’d have to find something else

[@McAero08]

@@AndyModellBackpacks cocaine! Comes in packs, uniform size and a practical application for the bag 😳

Then it's time to go to Costco for the toilet paper roll comparisons!@@AndyModellBackpacks

[@mat8650]

How much did the backpack weigh? Was it comfortable to carry?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I didn’t weigh it, but it wasn’t too much.

[@kakkak89]

One shot?! Impressive. Great compartmentalization!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I wanted to avoid having to edit the video... it's been a crazy week at work

[@chuckpatterson8895]

Nice video. I'm thinking about getting this bag. Any problems with Spirit? Thanks

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

No problems at all, the bag fit perfectly in the sizer

[@NaturallyNerdy]

The 26L GR2 also fits spirit airlines personal item restriction (I’ve traveled with it many times)

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

It does! My wife took that bag on our trip when I was taking this one.

[@jesseschilling5225]

Does the CAP1 fit in the front zip pocket?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Not for this bag, but it does with gr2s.

[@j_crust4582]

How do the A19 cubes compare to others like eagle creek and peak design? If you have tried those.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I liked that these have compressibility. Otherwise, they’re similar in size to the eagle creek, but not dual compartment like the peak design. This one was the right size for me, though.

[@abigailselya2908]

This worked perfect for me!

[@ahlun37]

Nice video! I like it It would be great if you can also show us how’s it on your body in suck a packed bag!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Look out for my next video, it'll show just that!

[@ev6377]

you're back!! 😊 happy new year

[@lanem2005]

Nicely sorted out gear ✌🏻

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Thanks 👍

[@KeepStackin.999]

That can hold way more than 18L!!! Looking to get the 16L. Does yours flop around when not fully packed out?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I haven’t noticed any flopping on mine

[@KeepStackin.999]

@@AndyModellBackpacks thanks 16 it is!!

[@hydrochris]

Glad you are back!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Thanks! i'm not sure how frequently I'll actually be able to film, but this video just needed recording.

[@osu0768]

Remember, it's $29 extra for the pilot on Spirit 😂

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

But that's more than I paid for the ticket!

[@supercrazpianomanaic]

this bag is truly incredible. and you only used half of the available organization

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I'm looking forward to using it as a day pack once I get to my destination

[@Trevorjl17]

How did you like this bag for the trip?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

It was good. Pretty comfortable and not too heavy. I’d probably take it again if I didn’t need more stuff/space.

[@Trevorjl17]

@@AndyModellBackpacks thanks for the reply. I’m thinking about getting this bag for college edc and I really like the blue.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I think it’s a good option

[@Kingling11]

Great video Andy!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@suchjeff]

Love the content Andy!

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@georgeteo2448]

Love the content and with realistic packing demonstration. How would you compare this with the Alpha One Niner Whitley. They both seem like great candidates for a mixed EDC + short trip bags and to be a similar size (20 vs 18L). Are there any features in one that stick out to you over the other?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I think a big difference is that this has a smaller size profile but maybe a bit more depth while the Whitley has more organization. I’d say that if I were going to school/work, the Whitley would be preferred, but I like this for more adventurous travel

[@zzyzxroad92309]

A Side Effect and a Boogie Bag? Which one do use more?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I use the boogie bag every time I travel and the side effect as my daily purse thing

[@edwardyu8902]

good review！but what is the brand of your black handy utility pouch？ i'm interested,thx

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

That’s a Goodwerks Boogie Bag, but a second Tom Bihn side effect used to fill that role

[@edwardyu8902]

noted!😊

[@sup_orthobro]

please do a review on gr3 35l thank you

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I would love to, but I'd have to get my hands on the bag first, and it's a bit price to buy just for the video.

[@mar-mar-marina]

Did it fit well under the seat?

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

Easily

[@andreasmueller9952]

Under seat pics and sizer pics would be a great addition to your already amazing vids.

[@RebeccaSmith77]

Thank you for this. It's nice to see this bag packed for traveling. I just ordered the 18L, and I am wanting to use it for international trips that are over a week long. This proved to me that I can definitely use it for one-bag traveling. I will be packing a medium sized Thule compression cube, a small Nomatic compression cube, my liquids pouch, a tech pouch, a crochet project, important papers folder, snacks, and my Fjallraven Vardag crossbody bag (because the backpack itself will have to be a carry-on as it's too big for the airline personal item dimensions). But I think I can fit it all easily into this bag after watching this video.

[@AndyModellBackpacks]

I think the main consideration is how much you fill all those cubes with. Some stuff only compresses down so tight

[@RebeccaSmith77]

I *think* I can make it work. I went to Ireland in March, and both my clothing packing cubes (I brought way more than I needed), a crochet project, and a tech pouch fit into my Tom Bihn Paragon 2.0. Having made that trip, I came home, and did a practice pack to see if I could only use one medium packing cube for clothing and still have room. I can. I may have to bring a crossbody bag if the Goruck ends up too big for under the seat. But I think I can make it work with this one Goruck bag. When it arrives, I will do a test pack run to see. ☺️ Having laundry facilities wherever I stay will mean I can pack less clothing.
