Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to know. I’m planning on buying a GoRuck bag and was really torn between the Rucker 4.0 and GR1 because I want something that can do both. I love the stability of the Rucker for working out, but was worried about being able to flex that into some casual EDC use.
Dude. You made like the magnum opus of a Rucker 4.0 review video! This is incredible; And this is the EXACT one I ordered, even the exact ranger green color way. I thought the OG camo one looked cooler until I saw your video and now I am glad I didn’t wait for that Camo to come back.
Although the green Coyote color way is gorgeous too… I feel like this is the beginning of a very expensive collection for me 😅
Anyways, Great video man and incredible well done and even entertaining too.
Hey Garrett. I hope you're well buddy. Yes, I've always been curious if the Rucker was a hidden gen for hardcore laptop carriers. I'll pick up a Long Range too when they're back in stock. Always nice to have a wee bit extra space in there
Thanks for the kind words. I see you're a fell Tuber too so I appreciate that from one maker to the next. The channel's been growing slowly but surely over the last 5 years and it's something I'm mighty proud of... although, I'd love the sub levels you have... I'm going to binge some of your haunted house content on lunch today 😆 Have an awesome week buddy
Awesome Review! I bought the 20L. Want the GR2 in the Future! 👍😎🇺🇸
This video answered the very question i have been trying to figure out for the past 2 days!! Like you I want the 4 grab handles… now if I could only get those lost hours back. Great video!
Hi Roy, I'm glad this helped my friend. You know where to come first 😉😉 hope you're having a cracking week so far
Great video. Just picked one of these up for a hiking pack, but wanted some inspiration for EDC
Hello my friend.
I own the Rucker 3.0
You have perfectly summed up at the beginning of the video what it is originally intended for. Namely a bag designed for exercise with load.
But, yes, but... he’s perfectly suited to the day-to-day for his EDC. Moreover, I wear my PC 15" inside every day with document doors, which begins to weigh singularly in addition to other items of daily life.
An excellent bag, a sure value, just like the iconic GR1.
Thank you for this once again excellent comprehensive review.
See you soon.
Friendships of France
Thank you GS. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I think with the price difference, the Rucker is a great pick up for someone who's after more of a cross over pack. I hop you're having a great week mon ami
Great video! FWIW, I have a Rucker 4.0 and fit a 15.6" Dell in the main plate pocket and my 13" MBP in the secondary plate pocket. They are SUPER protected this way!
Hey Skruffy. I think GoRuck should definitely be promoting this. If you're going to put your laptop in one of these than it's going to be ridiculously protected... Although I think that may mean the GR1 would take a hit in sales
Great review! I purchased this pack for EDC and really love it. I tucked the plate pocket flap into the back pocket and added an A19 hi viz organizer to the loop field and threaded a Goruck wire Dopp kit through the D ring on the interior and now Ive got more organization than I need. I placed my laptop and tablet into the plate pockets and they are better protected than the laptop compartment on the GR1. The hi viz orange lining plus the 3 extra grab handles give you something you can't order in a GR1 and just complement the EDC experience. the straps coupled with the 210 back make this thing easy to carry. Even with my EDC items there is room for enough for a packing cube that will get me through the weekend. Can see this taking sales away from the GR1.
100% agree. The Rucker makes an excellent EDC bag. I much prefer having my laptop in the main compartment rather than being on the back panel like the GR1. The GR1 is the big name item for GORUCK which everybody knows. Hopefully content like this will help to show how the Rucker bags are just as good if not better. I'm think of trying the same this year with the Long Range 33ltr
Thank you for your respect for America!
🇺🇸
I started the video and laughed because I too am wearing my Woodsman Anorak 😂
Thank you for the great review!
You're more than welcome my friend. Both our great nations love the Red, White and Blue. I hope you're well and have a great weekend
Excellent review… Your video confirmed my selection of the GORUCK Long Distance 33L… I needed something that I could RUCK on my workouts… AND use as carryon n my travels… aka EDC… thank you!
Glad I could help! I've been looking at the Long Distance version to make a follow up piece on 👍
And I would add… that the good folks at GORUCK were super helpful when I described what I was looking for and what I was comparing in their product offerings. They gave solid advice which also mirrored your product evaluation.
Great bag brother the goruck series of bags have always been gold standard for rucking
100% agreed. I'll hopefully picking up the Long Range too so I'll see how that holds up for the triple threat of rucking/EDCing/travelling 🤘 Thanks for watching Ale, and always, stay safe buddy
I don't know about the pack, but that jacket is awesome!
The Woodsman anorak is one of my favourite. Helikon can do no wrong in my eyes. They're definitely on their game at the moment for sure. Thanks for watching buddy
This is my first time watching one of your vids. I subscribed because of your obvious knowledge, but also because of your humor and nod of respect for the US flag. BTW, I recently bought the 25l rucker in black multicam and it's everything you say regarding the touch-it-and-understand-the-hype notion. Thanks
Hi Joe. Thank you for the kind words Sir. I definitely like to inject a bit out my personality into my content. These packs are amazing. All the best from across the Pond
I was today's years old when I found out what rucking actually meant. I always thought it was synonymous with backpacking because rucksack, backpack.
Part of being the Moorlander is all about sharing knowledge 🤣 glad I helped buddy
Thank you for a great review! Extremely helpful!
Hi SH. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and it helped
This video is informative as all get out. But the information isn’t what earned you a sub. Your love of America as someone who isn’t American is something that makes new want to watch your videos.
Thank you my friend. I've made some life long friends from the US via CZcams. I think both our great nations are having a struggle with fashionable hate against it. The US flag affords some many there amazing freedoms that many take for granted 🇺🇲🤜🤛🇬🇧
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you sir. Also the whispering Biden is entertaining as well. I look forward to your content.
Great review, loved it. Thanks you for doing such a thorough job!
You're more than welcome. Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend 🤘
@@MoorlanderEDC You too!
Lovely woodlands you have there....! The rucking concept is unknown here but there is a significant number of locals that dayhike the local national park mountains but without heavy loads. We lead a few fit locals on urban march routes on a regular basis . Yank expat greetings from Caracas Venezuela.
Hey Peter, I hope you're well fella. Thanks, it a great spot to shoot in for sure. Glad to hear you're out and about. Whether it's with weight or not, getting out in the wilds is great for the body and soul. Stay safe and well my friend and have a great weekend
@@MoorlanderEDC Cooll...! Happy Friday AM wishes from Caracas....an urban adventure environment ideal for a filming a post-apocalyptic genre TV series. LOL.
I’m going to try the experiment. 4.0 Rucker EDC but integrate a few hacks like GridIt panels. Thank you.
Oh. no way. I know of Grid It but didn't realise they made panels that big. I know a lot of GORUCK fans put in Grey Man Tactical panels. They're a lot more rigid - www.avantlink.com/click.php?tool_type=cl&merchant_id=68286571-393d-411e-9a0f-d1c2fa0648d6&website_id=f3de8620-27d2-4bce-98ef-19861e3bedb2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgreymantactical.com%2F
I'll have a lot more in to Grid It for some future content
Great channel you're tempting me with all the great kit, thanks for your hard work
Hi Wally. You're more than welcome buddy. I got into EDC from my love of bags so I talk the rear legs off a donkey with these. The Rucker is a beast of a pack. If you do pick one up, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Also check out 'JB Outside' here on CZcams. He's made some amazing content on these GoRuck packs and many others. Have an awesome weekend buddy
@@MoorlanderEDC cheers moorlander have a great weekend
Btw can you recommend a good brand other than the goruck something durable but not as pricey cheers
Hi Wally. Definitely. You should check out my video on the Rush 12 and Rush 24 from 5.11. They possibly the best budget friendly packs out there. People swear by them for a very good reason. 5.11 have their AMP series bags. I haven't tried one myself however I managed to get my hands on one at IWA this year and they're amazing as well. I've also made some content on a great newer company called Viktos. Their Perimeter 25 and 40 are also great option. They're a little bit more than the Rush packs however you definitely get the extra for the small price. And last, but definitely not least, check out Helikon Tex. They're making some absolutely amazing packs that are amazing value for money. They're a big favourite of mine and are going form strength to strength. All of the brands are world wide brand too so hopefully you shouldn't have any issues picking anything of theirs up. I hope that helps Wally
@@MoorlanderEDC what a gentleman, cheers mate, genuinely best of luck with the channel
Thanks from America!
Hey David. All the best from across the Pond 🤘
As an American, I appreciate the sentiment regarding the American flag and our country. I have enjoyed traveling around the UK but the politicians are really limiting the freedoms of their constituents. Keep heading outdoors and living the great life!
You're more than welcome my friend. I've made some life long friends through CZcams from the States, and have so much respect for your flag and freedoms. I hope both of our great nations manage to get past the politics and have better time. You're spot on too. Never happier than being outdoors with my family. Stay well and safe 🤙
Outstanding. Thank you.
You're more than welcome Chester. Thanks for watching 🤙
@@MoorlanderEDCI'd love to learn more about your "GORUCKING JOURNEY" you're great teacher. novice and expert simultaneously art form
I humbly thank you for the USA appreciation.
You're more than welcome my friend. I think our two great nations have more in common than we think 🤙
I normally get black everything…. But this color looks amazing.
Yes sir 😀 also have a look over the Multicam tropic. They've got so great colours
I did not go with the 4 because I don’t like the loss of the front pocket, and I live near the beach, so didn’t want to fight the sand and velcro. Wasn’t enough good changes for me to upgrade from the 3. I have about a dozen of their GORUCK packs though, and absolutely love every single one of them! I do prefer my GR1 for my EDC, or a 5.11 sling. Great video! Thank you!
I have to admit I was a wee bit gutted when the front panel pocket was removed however I remembered I used it sparingly. GORUCK really have struck gold with their packs. I've had a few people mention the 5.11 MOAB Slings. Is this what you use? I see they've released a few newer ones recently. I'll have to pick on up. Thanks for watching fella
Love the Helikon-Tex Woodsman’s Anorak👌🏽
Thanks Tawaitai. Yep, it's one of my favourites too
Ron from Indiana, Great video take care.
Thank you Sir. I hope you're well and had a cracking weekend. It's a very British thing to say, however I hope the weather is being good to you so you can get out the house. All my best Ron
I can't decide between the 20L and 25L. I could defo use the extra space for EDC on the 25 but I'm only about 5 foot 7 and I worry it would sit too low/be uncomfortable
Hi TDC, thanks for watching. As far as the size is, I'd 100% recommend joining any of the GoRuck Facebook groups. They're really useful and you'll definitely be able to get first hand experience from people your high and the pack they went for. They have an awesome community and they're always more than will and able to help. All the best
@@MoorlanderEDC Awesome, Thank you!
You're more than welcome
Turner, what did you end up deciding? I'm 5'8" and wondering the same thing. Thanks!
Great idea, very inspiring. However, using rucker4.0 as an EDC in public or turning on the velcro in the office makes a terrible sound, which is embarrassing. I think it is a good way to look for rucker3.0 or 33L LONG RANGE RUKER if possible.thanks
That's a great point. The velcro is very loud. I think it's become a funny thing with my colleagues now. Have you ever seen the meme with the fella who was shown an SAS technique on ripping velcro so it doesn't make a noise?
Very funny if you can find it
Love to see more and more content helps a lot when you like I looking for a nice edc pack 🔥
I could talk about packs until the cows come home Phillip. Making this sort of content is really enjoyable for me. I was joking with my wife last night about winning big on the lottery. Mrs Moorlander said she'd get bored and not know what to do with her time... I know exactly what I'd do with my time 😆 There no end to all the packs and adventures out there. I think I'd need to hire a film drew though
Really enjoyed this review, thank you! Has your opinion changed at all in the 6months since this video was released? I saw you mention the 33L long range might have been the sweet spot. I myself am 1 click away from ordering, but I am torn between the 25L or the 33L or even 39L variants for a 6'3" with 22" torso. Considering they are basically the same price it is so hard to know, thx!
I'm happy to say the only way my opinion has changed if for the better. I've been returning back to this bag when I'm not reviewing others. I'm still looking to pick up the 33ltr version. Although there's room for everything I need with this one, there's times when I'm fitting the gym after work there always room for more stuff where I thing the Long Range would be perfect. I hope that helps 👍
Have you thought about getting the Rucker long range? It's like the Rucker and GR2 had a baby.
Hi NN, it's funny you should ask. I was looking at them this evening. I'll need to seel some bags to save up however it's definitely in the works. I think the 33ltr version could hit that EDC/rucking/travelling sweet spot... If only they did it in MC tropic 😂 ill keep my fingers crossed. Do you own the Long Range?
@@MoorlanderEDC I bout one of the 33 Long Range version for this. It will be my first GoRuck bag. It should be here Wednesday.
@@damonluvisi is love to hear your thoughts on it when it arrives Damon. I'm looking to pick one up too
@@MoorlanderEDC I'll be sure to update you. It's coming with a 45# plate. It's my first ruck. I ordered the GR2 26L but sent it back cause I really want to train. so this long range will have to do everything EDC + Travel + Rucking for a while until the wife will let me get the GR2 26L again.
Wanted ranger green (sold out), went with ranger green /coyote. Very excited!
I'd love to hear your thoughts when yours arrives 👍
What jackets are you wearing thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. That's the Helikon Tex Woodsman Anorak. I've made a few pieces of content on this top. Highly recommended 👌
Interesting review, I prefer lots of other bags shown on these channel :)
Hi Raph. I hope you're well my friend. It's definitely not a bag for everyone. However those hard core Ruckers definitely love this pack
What's that jacket? Thanks for the content!
Hi Austin. You're more than welcome buddy. That is the Helikon Tex Woodsman Anorak. Amazing outdoors layer. I made some content on it a few years back 👍
Great to see tactical teddy bear is out on manoeuvres again 👍. I don’t like to say this, but I’m disappointed in you King Moorlander. A lack of patience for the multicam tropic? You’ve let yourself down, your family down and the community down… 🤣Seriously tho MC version looks a winner. Thorough review as always. Moorlander point… 🤔 could catch on 😂😂
Oooooh man. That cuts straight to the bone. I was trying to hold it in during this content and keep a happy face. I sacrifices three additional sheep and four extra virgins to the Old Moorlands Gods this week as penance... ps. I have some more MC Tropic content coming. The Gods shined a favourable light on me for my bountiful sacrifices 😆
zipper center pocket outside, zippers instead of velcro all the way and side bottle pockets - and I would get it now!
You might want to check out the GR1 Ivica. That has the outside pocket and its fully zipped. Sounds like your bag 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC thanks! 😃👊🏻💯
Forget weights. I want one to carry groceries home from the store.
Oh... well in that case, you can rest assure Tom you can definitely get your groceries in there... and a few beers to keep you hydrated 😆 Stay well fella
Will the plate carrier pocket fit a 38cm x 25cm laptop? Thank you
Hi, yes, that's roughly the same size as my laptop. Unless it's 6cm think it should fit right in. Definitely recommend taking the foam block out of the bottom. It's suspended from the bottom of the bag so your laptop is safe 👍 if you do get one, I'd love to hear your thoughts
It was engineered to be overbuilt for the specific reason of being a Rucking-Pack first, and second whatever you choose to use it for is only relevant to your personal use or need.
Sorry buddy I missed this one. I think I said similar in another comment. All my best
So looks plenty big enough to pack food for a day hiking?
Hi Adrian. Yes definitely buddy. The rucking sleeve takes up a bit more room in there compared to the GR1, however definitely plenty of room
How did I not know about multicam tropic?
Bill, I fell in love with it the moment I spotted it too. Weirdly, the mulitcam tropic is better suited to the Moorlands than the normal MC. Fro now on, I want everything in tropic :D
I consider these products “training rucks.” A real ruck has a frame, and imo a preferably detachable pack.
Hi Jefe, I can see your point there. I think strictly speaking that frame was definitely there for real weight carrying in a rucksack or bergen. I think it's definitely something that's evolved over the last 20 years or so where both types of pack are used. "Training ruck" is definitely the best term especially as these are still used for recreational use... well, pretty tough, push yourself to the limits, recreational use 😆 Thanks for watching
@@MoorlanderEDC either way, it’s a cool training ruck and looks like it would make a decent “go bag.”
“Joe Biden whispery thing…” 😂💀
I'll see if I can slip in a Kamal Harris "it's time to make time so that we have time to make time. In that I mean, making time to make time is something we need to put aside time for so that we can have the correct time to make time as time is important, whether it's made or not" kind of statement 😆🤘
@@MoorlanderEDC 😂. I’m so ashamed of my country’s “voters.” 😮💨
The mid terms are going to be impossible for the Dems to put a positive spin on. Hopefully 2024 will help to get your great nation back on track. Drive down inflation, petrol prices, get the Southern boarder and supply chain fixed, and get things rolling again. Sending support from a friend across the Pond 🤜🤛
@@MoorlanderEDC I’m definitely hoping so! We could definitely use the support! Thanks!
👍
Why wouldn’t it??? It’s built stronger than any pack in existence, Duh.
Hi Tawaitai, I hope you're well. You may have the wrong end of the stick there my friend. I'm certainly not complaining. I love the fact that these are over engineered. Primarily this is a rucking back through and through. I've tried to test it outside of it's main function and see if it will work as a day to day EDC pack... and it's perfect for both. It's definitely overkill for an EDC pack however, if you're after a bomber pack that's truly got that heirloom appeal, this is the one for you. I hope that makes sense and apologies if this wasn't clear. Hope you're having an awesome week
Rucksack is just backpack in German. ;)
Wait? What? I was today years old when I learned this. Is ruck German for back? Or is ruck the verb that describes the action of walking with weights?... My third most watch geographic location after the US and the UK is Germany... and I'm only hearing this now 😆 Thanks for the heads up DoC 🤘
Nah then, ey up me duck. I'm wondering, how many takes did this 'rucking' video take? 😉
Way too many fella. Other than the F bomb, I kept saying 'booking' as well. Bloody broken brain of mine 😊🤘
Buying Goruck is an IQ test.
I think that's how they make sure they have the right customer 😆 We didn't GCSE's here so I'm not sure how that would convert to an SAT score
@@MoorlanderEDC WAIS has better granularity. Anyway, at least with TAD or MR you get something other than an overpriced book bag. We use plate carriers now. The upside? You can hold a lot of Kool-Aid in there.
MR is a brand I really want to try and the TAD Fastpack EDC is my grail bag. I've lusted over that bag ever since I clapped eyes on it. I keep seeing the special editions ones they drop every now and again. I'd love the EDC in XPac... and a bank account with enough cash in there to get one too 😅 We don't have Koolaid over here... is it nice?
Maybe I should do a Moorlander tries international food page
@@MoorlanderEDC I have a EDC and the Litespeed as well. Both are great and overbuilt. With a Control Panel added it's (EDC) nearly perfect, but heavy.
Joe Biden's pretty great.
