Awesome video man! Loved the content :) I've been looking at getting a GR1 as my "everything" bag. Things like school, work, exercise and camping. Being in Australia it is a little pricey but after watching your video and seeing you highlight the features of the bag, it definitely seems like it will last and be a good purchase!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words. The GR1 has so far been my: camping, work, hiking, EDC, travel, rucking, drone, and anything else bag! I really like the structure and design of it along with the ruggedness (1000D Cordura baby!). I have gotten it soaked, dropped, and hit multiple times and it shows no wear. The clamshell opening is great for organizing and the shape/size allows for a lot space inside. You can really pack out this bag. I am about 167cm so I got the 21L but it definitely fits more than other "21L" bags. I would buy one during a sale at Goruck. I got mine about a year ago during one and it was much a more reasonable price for myself. Hope this all helps!
@@justinmueller790 Thanks for the amazing reply! It sounds like the perfect bag for me, especially seeing as I am looking for a bag that will last me a long time. I'm not certain on when they will be having their next sale but I am itching to press that "add to cart" button haha! I instantly fell in love with the clamshell opening as well. Thank you Justin!
Of course! No problem at all. It really is a perfect bag that fits in many categories. Wait for Black Friday or even Boxing Day. I am not 100% certain they will have sales on these dates but this is around the time last year that I got mine on sale! Also got a GR2 34L for my brother back then which was also on sale (my wallet thanks you Goruck!) Best of luck! P.S. Used ones are also good! check out the Goruck thread on reddit!
Let me know what you think about the bag and also the video! Looking for tips on improving and anything else you would like to see about this bag or another bag. Thanks!
@@senpairag88 Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. I would have to say the Arc'teryx Brize 25L was my favourite before the GR1. I hope to do a video on it soon! I will have to bribe the animals into starring in the next one as well haha
Hmm, that makes it tough. I found my GR1 replacing some older bags that weren't getting much love. I ended up getting rid of a Timbuk2 since the GR1 became my EDC. Still hard to justify when you have so many bags!
I think the 26L would be a better companion for travelling with just one bag. The extra room can really help out! That being said, if you are a minimal packer and also only going for a week or two then the 21L might work too! I would advise to really think about what you are going to be doing and for how long. With 21L you will likely need to do laundry which isn't a big deal, I am fine to do this in a sink and then just hang dry. Also, if you are travelling during the colder parts of the year then that will also become a factor. Cold means more layers and also jackets. Nothing is impossible but you must be realistic with your loadout relative to the situation. I like to say I am a minimal person but when it comes down to it I usually end up bringing a second bag with the GR1 21L. I use the Arc'teryx 50L Duffel as my secondary bag. Great to just throw large objects in and also leave my main clothing packing cubes in there. That's just me though. I would like to get down to one bag travel eventually but I am not quite there yet! I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions let me know!
Man I always swear to myself it’s my last bag, but I got the bullet 15 and loving it, but I think I want that GR1 21.
We all sound the same! lol I am always searching for the perfect bag, a never ending search!

Nice video review, man. Looks like you got quite a big collection. Which backpack if among your favs ? Loved the cat and the dog duo as well :D

I was thinking of getting a gr1. I have about 20 bags already though.

Its possible travel around the europe using just this bag? Tell me your opinion
