The 5.11 tactical backpack Rush model that they showed comes in three sizes: Rush 12, 24 and the 72 being the biggest..... I have the Rush 24 that holds 33 liters, I used it one time to go grocery shopping and I was able fit everything in it..... Almost a whole cart actually fit in side, It was like playing Tetris, everything fitted though without needing extra bags.

[@Juice-ms5xc]

I have the 12 and 72 and I love them both! The 12 is my workbag and my 72 is my B.O.B.

[@tclark471]

@@Juice-ms5xc Got the 72 this year as well. Currently using it in FL to carry MREs, extra water, ammo, Med. supplies and other necessities. Easily the best investment I've made this year.

[@Juice-ms5xc]

@@tclark471 That's great! They've become so handy for me, I've only got 1 molle pouch but it contains a severe bleed kit, worth having. 😁🤙🏻

[@mr.dynomite8890]

There's actually 4 in the RUSH line, the 12, the 24, the 72, and the 100.

[@Juice-ms5xc]

Damn the spacers on the padding of the Bandit pack already justify the price in my eyes. Can't tell y'all how many times having those hot ass pads on a full pack made any march/hike much more tedious.

[@MrDozid]

Would recommend the Tasmanian Tiger 30L modular. It had laser cut molle on the outside, open all the way up, velcro all over the inside, top inner and outer section, holes for a camelbak hose, water resistant, highly adjustable straps, and optional “waist support belt”. The point of it is that tasmanian tiger sells modular parts, which you can attatch to the velcro, and make it all more compartmentalised (or use any velcro additions). Great video btw👌

[@xxxxxx-l4h]

i bought a 5.11 Rush 24 pack a number of years, i think 5 or so now, and still using it for work to this day. Yeah it screams " military, thank you for my service". But they definitley thought about the Rush Series and is of course limited to really being a day pack. the actual straps the top part of the fabric has been ripping apart a little bit over wear and tear of me using it almost daily. But definitely a good bang for your buck

[@gza93]

I love my Eberlestock Bandit pack! This pack is so damn versatile and holds so much stuff. I use it all the time for day hikes up Mt. Baldy, even use it as my climbing pack for multi pitch routes. Great video guys 🤘🏾

[@GWeeDO2oo1]

Own the Rush 24 myself for years now, and it's been great, packed and ready for quick get up and go

[@iridiumscribe4915]

I've used a number of assault packs for basic everyday carry. By far my top three favorite, so far, have to be the medium ALICE. I typically use this without the frame but I do like the space it provides in the main compartment as well as having the three outer pockets. I use it mostly when I grocery shop. The 5.11 Rush mentioned here I will always have a soft spot for, it was one of my first actual assault packs I purchased when I started making money after I graduated from high school. I went with the Multicam pattern and I modified it so I could carry my longboard on it at the time and it worked well! When I first started getting into everyday carry, I had the tendency to overpack my packs, so I would always return home with lower back pain. I no longer have it, but if I had the opportunity to buy it again, I would totally jump on it. Currently I use the USGI assault pack in the three color desert pattern. Found this at my local surplus shop for $30. I'm learning something new about it everyday and so far I have been enjoying it. For the price, I couldn't beat it. And the desert camo is just nostalgic to me.

[@unfairplasma1412]

Great video guys that last backpack is dope

[@joeylacey8731]

I remember paying half a month's pay for my camelback in 2005. Still have it and use it today. It's been thrown out of birds and through a couple ieds with me. I good pack is worth the money

[@darienbjorndal9655]

I been addicted to Source Tactical for water bladders and assault packs, can't be beat imo. Saw one bladder get run over by a Stryker and it didn't pop. However, started using Exo Mountain Gear for rucks.

[@mmendozal13]

Seeing that you guys like assault packs zipping all the way down like a clamshell. Have you guys taken a look at the Assault 30L by Arc'teryx? Used that for some FTXs and STX lanes. Not to mention doesn't scream military. I have used it when traveling in CONUS and OCONUS and it's been perfect!

Good video guys. Is pop culture field Manuel on vacay? Was just wondering thats all. Good job 👍👍

[@prorace_type_r]

There is this german brand, MilTec, that sells a very popular assault pack for 40 bucks. I don't know if it sells in the US, but I use it and it's great. Now, it's cheap for a reason, it's polyester, not nylon, and I don't know if that's automatically a no-no for some people, but for civilian mountain use it might be enough.

[@GHOST-zy3ji]

any recommendations for a saw 249 barrel bag? something that is almost the same size as the barrel the military one is two freaking big

[@MisterNi]

Good video guys. I don't know if I'd use an assault pack as a backpack as a civilian but it was good to see what's out there in this review. Definitely a good video for the backpackers out there. 🙂

[@zakkbrown9522]

It's okay to do, literally nobody cares.

[@MisterNi]

@@zakkbrown9522 I suppose it depends on where you live. Like Cam and Izzy, I live in Los Angeles County and you would be kind of conspicuous if you carried a military style backpack around. For work, I like to carry a laptop around and having a pack that kind of stands out would make you a pretty good target for thieves. Also, the company I'd like to go back to, Activision-Blizzard/Microsoft, they always give me a nice laptop to work on, and I'd hate to lose it because someone stole my pack because it was so noticeable.

[@30ART5]

@@MisterNi there are probably other color options available. I would assume at least black or gray would be options.

[@MisterNi]

@@30ART5 I looked a few up and some do come in Coyote Tan but that color still says military to someone who knows what an assault pack looks like. I'm sure some do come in gray or black as tactical versions but an assault pack still looks pretty different from a backpack that most people use as daypacks. I know some veterans do want to be recognized in civilian life as vets but many of us don't as that comes with a lot of assumptions and stereotypes about what military people are like. If I did want to be recognized as a vet then I could do so at appropriate times and places by wearing my uniform and showing off my awards and medals (My wife is holding on to those 🙂). All other times of the year, that's my past and I need to look to the future instead. 🙂

[@30ART5]

@@MisterNi the Eberlestock has a cool looking EDC bag that looks more civi than tactical. It is called the cherry bomb, and it comes in multiple colors. The bandit from the video comes in tactical colors and camos. It also has a blue color too.

[@oldscratch3535]

I just bought a surplus USMC FILBE assault pack. I paid less than $40 for it, but I had to partially restitch a shoulder strap. Its made by Eagle Industries so its very well made. It looks like it will hold a lot. I like the water resistant zippers. Its also made to work with body armor and I just happened to have a surplus USMC Eagle Industries plate carrier that goes with it. For my EDC bag I use an old school M81 camo Camelbak Mule. I bought it back before M81 was back in fashion. Its a great little EDC truck bag. It has molle so you can add on to it if needed. I put in a level IIIA ballistic panel where the bladder used to sit. I also have a version in black if I need something less "tactical" looking than woodland camo.

The short answer is: none of them to the extent that they'll keep your gear dry in heavy rain or submersion. If you have stuff that needs to stay dry, put it inside a rolltop drybag inside your pack.

[@MrSwccguy]

I would say the USMc assault pack is better then the army one. But the army dose have a medium ruck were as the usmc only issues a assault pack and ruck

[@b.kenobi9063]

The helmet is crucial, let no one say otherwise, but why not carry it ON YOUR HEAD?! So I have two points to make. First, even though you want to carry everything you need for anything that may happen, having your equipment outside your bag, possibly in your pockets, is just as important as having extra space for items you happen upon. Don’t want that turtle on your back, or anyone making TMNT cracks. Second, I gotta wonder what the significance of the modern combat helmet actually is. Sadly, the most useful thing I ever saw out of the WW2 helmet was it’s use as a shovel, but helmets are like pants; they have existed forever. Is there a better one out there? Do old ones actually help keep you alive? Care to shove your ‘War Wallet’ in some new futuristic bucket of a hat?! 😁

Assault pack should not be that big.
