“I really like net pockets because you can see what’s in there, when you put stuff in there, you can see what’s in there”
---I’m sold, headed to amazon as we speak!!!!!---
j a Did I tell you I like net pockets? Lol Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Being a medic in the National Guard I've found the 24 is about perfect for a drill weekend or AT. The size is perfect to be able to work out of while in the Humvees while not taking up too much space.
Absolutely. It really is the perfect size. I have the 12 and the 72, another 24 is on its way to me now to replace this one I borrowed for the video. Thank you for stopping by. More importantly thank you for your service.
I have a 12 bag I used in Afghanistan and in training. Was thinking of getting a 24 or 72 so I can better carry mission essential gear like radios and optics without having to sacrifice sustainment supplies for myself.
can someone please count how many times he slaps a bag 😂
Summer Lucio that's his style, I notice the great ones all have one, some do the pocket, in and out, etc. It becomes like a signature, he's great..
Spank it like you own it.
He slaps it like it owes him money.
Summer Lucio Some say that on a quiet night you can still hear him slapping the bag to this very day.
I think it's a drinking game, take a shot everytime he slaps a bag
I love these videos. my gf gets pissed at me she wants me to go grocery shopping but I stay home to watch your videos lol
Play the game right my friend, do as she asks and go shopping then later in the day watch all the videos you want. I appreciate you watching but the GF should always come first. I've been with my wife for 15 years, if there's anything I have learned along the way is "A happy wife/GF leads to a happy life"... Good luck. Be well. Stay safe.
Nice video sir. I had 12 for six months but realized for my job I needed little bigger so got 24. I love it there’s place for everything n everything in its place👍
Thanks for stopping me and watching! 👍
Just purchased the 24 in the sandstone color and I have to say I'm very impressed. As a former Marine Corps Infantryman (Grunt) I can honestly believe this bag could pull its weight through several deployments and training exercises. Thank you for the review. You were a big part in my decision to drop the money on this bag.
Awesome! it's really a good bag, all my RUSH packs are performing very well and I seriously couldn't be happier. Glad to hear my video helped you make that decision. More importantly, thank you for service. Much respect.
What an excellent review. The only downside to it I can POSSIBLY come up with is that you're probably from Boston and I'm in FL (Go Dolphins! Bahhh Patriots! LOL - j/k).
Seriously, this was one of the best reviews of product I've seen done on youtube. It should stand as a guide as how they should be made.
You just sold me on it. I hope the 5.11 guys support you with free product or something for this hard work.
My only concern with the bag is that my goal is to use it for 2/3 day BOB in the event of a SHTF scenario, but I'm be relying on it sitting high enough above a Blackhawk Padded Patrol Pad or being able to mount in some way like that for support. I think it'll work which might also lend to distributing some of the weight to the belt - maybe not ideal to take off quickly, but just to save on getting a sore back. Gettin' older now and in my backpacking days, having a nice backpack where the weight was supported to the hips was always a huge help.
Again, thank you, sir, for a job well done. Hey, maybe we'll see you guys in the Superbowl one year and in spite of the friendly rivalry I will most certainly offer up to you a toast and good cheer! ;)
Be well and much thanks.
ObiWanCannolii I'm in Massachusetts but about an hour or so west of Boston. Fortunately. I'm not much of a sports fan, actually as I'm writing this I'm well in the woods exploring and working on more gear reviews. lol Thank you for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. Stay safe.
Great review. Love your enthusiasm and the way you sling and slam the bags around. Got a good sense of what they feel like to use.
I've used all three rush packs, separately, for travel. Packed, correctly, and packing minimally, I never have to check either of them for flying. It sure is great to take my travel gear on and off the plane with me. It save time and money.
Oh, I can pack for several weeks in either one of those bags, too. Talk about efficient.
Michael Jerome Johnson I completely agree. I don't travel/fly but for everything I have used them for they have been perfect. The versatility is the best, lots of storage space. Thank you for stopping by. Be well and stay safe.
"Ya know I just loaded em' with crap and stuff" sir you have earned my respect for today.
I own a Rush 12 that I use daily and also when traveling for work, it was pricey but it is extremely practical. I'm always amazed on the amount of stuff I can fit in it.
Currently looking at the Rush 24, I will probably end up buying it for the extra space, so I don't depend so much on suitcases and other bags when traveling
They're great packs for sure! I used the 12 for EDC for about 3 years and the 24 as a hiking pack for a long time. The 72 doesn't get a lot of use but it's still a keeper. Thanks for stopping me.
Thanks for the video! Just got one for my 12 year old to start school with! His one last year was too small to carry his stuff, he is very excited after watching your video!
That's awesome! I'm happy I could help. It's really a well built pack, he's gonna have it for many years. It's Sr o well built he'll back able to pass it down to his children some day, it's that tough. I hope he enjoys it.
I love this backpack and I got my Rush 24 in Multicam years ago. Very durable product and good for all around use. Only problem with it is that I get flagged for inspection at airports in other countries when I've used this backpack as my carry on/in cabin bag. Probably coz it's in camo and very tactical looking that it gets flagged.
I find the black and gray get the least amount of attention. Camo and the others draw the most attention. Unfortunately. Still great packs nonetheless.
Yes. I had several size bottles in there with no problem.
***** this is about as big of a pack I like. I have tried the USMC ILBE and its nice with a good frame but far to big
this one looks like a good choice. I could get three days worth of kit in it without a problem if need be.
Absolutely. Take what you need and not what you like. 3 days easy.
***** The spec ops vs the rush 24? Which one is better in your opinion?
+Deku Midoriya For me personally, I'd go with the 24.
***** I've heard a lot of people say that the 24 is the ultimate bug out bag pack because its a nice medium for everything. How true would you say that is?
he sounds likes peter from familly guy haha, but great video
Dam you ...that’s all I hear now lol
Ordered the 37 liter in Kangaroo, but they pull this kind of a cute trick on Amazon. It said there were five bags left in the kanga. I'm not worried though so I poke around the house doing this n that. Then I'm back by the PC so I figure hey I'll reload and see what if anything happened to the number. OK. What? Now there's just 1 bag left in kanga, oh f no! But I was pretty sure I wanted that bag and in that color, not black which it seems there are plenty of. I've been looking hard for a week now, but still I'm not 100% sure, but close enough. So now I have to go for it. Five minutes after that, guess what? Five bags left, again! Not unhappy or "remorseful" about the purchase at all. Just a little pissed at the scam kind of way it happened. Anyway watching this video because now I just can't wait!
Yeah, that's something some sites, especially Amazon does to get you to pull the trigger on purchasing a product. As you figured out they try to get you to think they're being bought and will be out of stock soon which makes you pull the trigger before they're all gone. You're gonna love the pack!
Best review of this pack yet. Great job demonstrating the size of all the pockets.
Thank you for stopping by. Much appreciated.
Like the energie in slapping the bags and turning them inside out
Thank you! 😁
Hahaha Walkman huh? Got any mix tapes to go with that? Great review as usual thank you I’m sold
" You know what, grow up " lol.
Great review video ! Planning on getting a pack and this review definitely helped. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
yea, ok. good review. i think the biggest thing that stood out as impressive. and I'll have to try it to be sure. Thats the shoulder straps. the extra padding at the neck. you are not the first person I've heard that doesnt care for waist belt. i love em extea supposrt. more secure. switch weight from shoulders to hips and visa versa. ok im lookn for the 72 review. thanks
Wow...this is an amazing review! There isn’t a single thing you didn’t cover!! Suscribed! Keep these awesome reviews coming man
Thank you! Much appreciated. Check out my latest video on the RUSH 24 pack, I added some nice pouches from BDS Tactical, brought the 24 to a whole new level.
Great video. I went out and got the rush 24 and the 72. Thanks for the informative videos. Looking forward to using the.
Great bags for sure. I use the 12 as my EDC bag and the 72 gets lots of hiking use. I had to return the 24 to the owner but liked it so much I plan on picking up one for myself. Thank you for stopping by.
Yea I'm gonna try it for a week and see if things change. It is made very nicely however. I love your reviews though, not once did I not unstand any of your reviews they are very descriptive and share good opinions on equipment. You sold me on an esse knife awhile back and I love both of them ! Just gotta work out the kinks on this bag deal. Shortly I will be researching axes will check your vids on that as well. Thanks !!
Thank you!
Thank u for this review. From watching this video (many times) I convinced my wife and I got it for a Christmas gift. Amazing bag many many compliments on it!!
That is awesome! Thank you for watching my video (many times) lol - It really is a nice pack. I had to return this one to my friend, but now I want one. I prefer the Sandstone color, what color did you get? It's on my want list now, along with the 1,000's of other gear items. lol
Flat Earth. I use it for my daily to work and back bag. I also got my hands on the 5.11 m-65 field jacket ... Amazing jacket also.
Thank you for the review, love your enthusiasm! I decided to buy the 24.
Greetings from Holland!
Thank you!:Your gonna really enjoy this pack. Use it and use it often. Be well & stay safe.
great review buddy. I'm looking at getting a 24 and this helped a lot
Awesome! Glad I was able to help.
Great look at the 24 man. I just got mine and am looking forward to testing it as a weekend travel bag. Can't wait to see your vids on the other two models. Oh btw...those small slip pockets in the admin area with the strap retention are only about 4" deep and can't really hold anything taller than 5". Better for a pad or something than for magazines. Unless you're using true ten rounders or pistol mags. Haha. Anyways thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
***** Thank you for stopping by. The videos will be out within the next couple weeks. Got lots going on right now so I just need the time. Too bad I can't hire a crew for assistance. lol
Yes! Molle on the shoulder straps is essential! The only backpacks I know with shoulderstrap molle are the 5.11 backpacks so I only buy from them :)
GOOD job, I bought one,... saving for the 12 multi now,..
Great upload
Can someone tell me
If this bag can be a bug out minimalist bag
With tent and sleeping bag etc
For a week trip
Thinking about bying the rush 24
Minimalist? Yes. Not too sure about a week though. I have a couple videos of my 24 with some pouches on it from BDS Tactical and it completely changes the pack and allows for so many other uses.

@@GearReviewDepot I prefer this one instead the rush 72, the 24 seems of less eye catching and still do the job
Thanks and much appreciated
Great video review. Thanks for taking the time to do this review.
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Hey Tim glad to see you back, I was beginning to think you ran into a bigfoot, they need bags for their stuff too. Anyway great video and I must say on the inside they have Maxpedition beat. Inside my Vulture II I have a bunch of molle pouches and dry bags separating my stuff. I have my med pouch, my fire pouch, sharpening pouch, you get the idea. Oh yeah, food pouch! Gotta have my tuna salad and crackers with Folgers singles. Stay safe out there buddy. Mike in SJ
I agree. I like the outside of Maxped and the inside of 5.11 - The storage capabilities are endless with the 5.11 RUSH packs. Thank you for stopping by.
This video is awesome. I wish to make a survival bag for geek and include my laptop, extra battery for smartphone, mouse, etc. But i need something to eat too, water, first medical kit, swiss knife, maybe some light etc. Sometimes i'll do photography and i'll need my canon 6D, some lenses, some sd cards and extra photo stuff. And the most important thing, i already have a computer bag, walk bag, photography bag or school bag. I always get crazy with bags and i wish 1 bag than i can use all the time and i think this is this one. I think i'll do what i wish without any problem. Thank you. I hope you did a video about stuff you can stick to bag like that, on the sides or under. I'll be interested about sticking a small photo bag or a sleeping bag. I'll look for that. I'll think about buying the 72 too later. And sorry if my english isn't perfect, it's not my main language. :)
Your English is OK, don't worry about it
My buddy has the 12 and 72. We used them a couple weeks ago and they both stood up just fine. One suggestion....you could try and trim a little bit off the bottom of the support board to shorten it up. IMO. Great review. Thanks!
CheddaRoss That's a fantastic idea, thanks for the tip. Be safe.
Anytime. Thanks, you too
Great video man bought the rush 24 after this needed good bag when I'm in the field
Excellent! Just picked up another one for myself, great pack!
Very nice Review budy. Help me a lot to choose the better size of Rush series for my needs.
I'm have questions about the harness/suspention system of that packs, but be more confortable with yours impressions about it. What ever, thanks a lot!
Utsch from Brazil
been contemplating on getting this bag! thanks for the great review! gonna get one now!
Awesome! Grab one, you'll be glad you did.
You should do a showcase of all your day hike gear, or your bugout bag contents or something along those lines
I do have plans on making a video soon about what take with me when I go for a hike or out to make videos. Thank you for stopping by.
I seen a guy at work that bought one kind of makes me want to upgrade from my rush 12.
The 24 is the perfect upgrade from the 12.
Great reviews. Love how the 5.11's zip all the way down.
Nice, I’m going to buy this bag for a bug out bag/ camping
It's a great pack that can be used in so many different roles.
Don't get me wrong, I love the sandstone color, however, every time I see a Multicam R24, I experience buyers remorse for not biting the bullet and just getting the MC variant opposed to the sandstone colorway.
L W I'm not a fan of the MC or camo patterns in general but the MC on the 34 isn't too bad. I'd still prefer the tan and brown color tones nonetheless.
Hi great video, I use the Rush 12 as a commute bag.
Anyway ,the plastic board in the back isn't there to keep the shape.
It's is a placeholder for a ballistic trauma plate.
epicus bobicus incorrect
100% false, it’s a frame sheet for support...good luck getting a plate in there.
I just bought the 24, in Dark Earth, I like that color for a change from chayote...
JBdrum Outdoors That's also a good color. I like all the earth time colors, all the tan and brown colors. I even like some shades of green.
I had the maxpedition condor and vulture! Now use the rush 12 and moab 10.
Maxpedition is far behind 5.11 and the Maxped prices are ridiculous!!!
Agreed.
awesome instructional video! I know all the uses of my bag now. much appreciated!
Glad it helped. Thank you for stopping by. Be safe.
"You can tell my age" 😂😂😂
Love the enthusiasm lol
thanks so much. This video led me to purchase this in black!
Great pack! you're going to be very happy with it.
Great video! Once I decide on which color or camo I will be purchasing this bag.
Fantastic! Trust me your going to be very pleased.
Review was very helpful.. Already own the 72 which is an amazing pack. I than went and bought the rush 12, unfortunately it is way to small for what I need and on me looks way to small. I'm 6'4" and just doesn't look right.. Thanks!! Putting my order in now
Thank you my friend for stopping by. Be safe.
skipped the water bladder on mine and went with ballistic protection! Perfect fit!
donny0007 Excellent idea. In today's society it's becoming a must.
Best review yet of this pack, so thank you!!
I'm trying to decide between the Rush 12 or 24, since I'll only really be using this pack as a weekend bag for visiting relatives, plus it has to be carry-on size. Any suggestions on which one to pick?
Oh, one more thing, I'd like to start having an edc pack, but I'm clueless to what to pack. Maybe make a video for beginners, since with more experience over time I'm sure I'll adapt my pack.
Again perfect review!! thanks so much!
Thank you! If it's going to be for weekends away or short trips then the 24 would be perfect. The 12 is great as a every day pack but a little small for a weekend away. In my opinion anyway. I do have a couple videos on what my edc consists of, maybe I'll make one for beginners, I'll see what can come up with. Thank you for stopping by.
78 slaps....he slapped those poor fucking bags 78 times....GOOD LORD!
Thanks for watching.
well done, thanks for taking the time to make the video
Thank you for watching.
how many pairs of pants can you fit in the 24 and the 72??? help please
Just pants? Nothing else? I honestly don't know. Maybe 20 or 25 pairs in the 24 and possibly 30 to 35 in the 72. I'd roll the pants nice and tight, sort of like the military rolls their clothing to take up less room in the backpacks.
TheTacticalDefender thank you for answering my question im going to subscribe 👍
With all the pals/molle you can just about tell its multicam , great bag though :)
Absolutely. 😁
Great presentation of the backpack, I'm just interested to know what's the supposed back ventilation like?
Thanks in advance.
It's certainly not the best but it's not the worse either. It's comfortable but your back will get sweaty.
I like my bags to "stand up" too. Me thinks if I had one of these I'd store my rolled up bivy bag or USMC poncho or something lashed to the bottom to serve as a kickstand to help the thing stand up...
Jason Brown It's really not a huge problem but it is something that I prefer. It stands up fine if the hard back support is removed.
Cuanto libras tiene de capacidad o kilos
Great review, im going to buy one !
I gotta say man , just bought the 511 24hr rush today for a steal (100$) I like the organization it has, but the only fault it has which I'm most likely returning it for is how damn heavy it is ! I barely had it packed with the 2 largest items being sketch books and heaviest item being a esse izula and a small edc items in a sandwich meat Tupperware. Basically everything that was in my Patagonia Refugio and it's breaking my back hahaha ! Almost bought the "all hazards" bag when I saw it but yea. Dilemma ..dilemma...
Sorry to hear your unhappy with the weight of the pack, it's not a problem I have. I do have a friend that doesn't like these "Tactical" style packs because of their weight but like I mentioned it's just an issue for me.
Super nice keep up the reviews
Thank you!
How many liters are these please?
+Davehiphop Sorry for the delay: 2275 cubic inch / 37 liter total capacity
Too bad they’re not made in America, I’d buy a few...
Thank you for watching.
Don't like to do this but if you could only get one bag which would you go with. Looking for an all purpose all around bag. The Maxpedition Condor or the 5.11 Rush 24.
Thanks for the review and all the help!
Great question. The Condor is a bit smaller than the RUSH24, great for a EDC bag but for me not very comfy for hikes. If I had to just get one bag that was going to be my EDC and also a bag I grab and put more gear in to go for hikes then it would have to be the 24. Also - the RUSH 24 is a tad bit cheaper money but the same great quality.
Thanks! I was really leaning towards the 5.11 and that just confirmed it. Great videos. Now I just need to decide between the 12 or 24. 12 seems a little small so probably going to go ahead and get the 24. Thanks again.
Great review, thanks!
Thank you for watching!
diaper bag... lmao, i can imagine "diaper commando"
Hey, beautiful packs! Could you tell me if the sandstone 12 hanging there looks the same in real life as on the video as far as the color shade goes? Thanks, David
David Fiorini Yes it does.
Exactly as it does on the video.
TheTacticalDefender Thanks! Leaning towards that Camo., it's really nice!
great video, it helped a lot in my decisions
Fantastic! Glad I was able to assist in your decision making. Thank you for watching.
Great review! Well done
would you recommend the 24 for someone just commuting to an office on the subway? I want to keep my 15" macbook pro safe too. I am coming from a North Face Surge which I love and has served me well but looking into something new. Thanks! Also, what color did you get there on the 12? Finally, what do you think of Drago backpacks?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes the 24 would handle commuting with your macbook and other EDC items easily and with room to spare. I would also recommend looking into Vanquest Gear, they make really nice packs/bags and they also woould handle your items easily. I just reviewed the Triton 20 (Gen2) from Vanquest, it's an amazing EDC bag, my video should be uploaded in a few days. The color I prefer and almost always have is Coyote tan or some companies call it Desert Tan. As for Drago products? I have no experience with them but I honestly never heard a bad thing. Hope this helps even just s little. Let me know what you decide, I'd like to hear what your thoughts are.
Do you think that this would look too tactical to take everyday, shopping and to the mall and grocery store for a woman? What color to not stand out and would a 12 be better?
I do feel it might be too big, I think the 12 would fit the role you mentioned very well. Black doesn't really stand out as much as the other colors. I don't feel black is very tactical because the PALS/MOLLE webbing blends in well with the rest of the bag. It's that webbing that makes these bags "look" tactical.
The 24 seems like it's a very good size
Ryan Robinson It really is perfect. Not too big and not small at all. Built surprisingly well.
Muy buen video. Gracias. Lo felicito.
Nice video. Thank you !!
Can you fit a 15" laptop in the water bladder compartment?
Darkmaro Yes you can.
TheTacticalDefender okay, thanks for answering so quickly
Well done job sir. 👍 keep it real...
Goran Maksimovic Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Hi ! Great review. I'm not sure yet if i will purchase the 24 or the 72. I already have a good USMC ILBE marpat pack for a crisis situation (INCH bag). I guess that a 24 could be very usefull for other of my needs. The reason i contact you is, in your video you mention that you will put your knife on the molle loops. Most of the knives don't give the ability to attach on molle. What item do you use to fit a normal knife on those molle loops ? Thanks !
Hello. Thank you for stopping by. I use MOLLE Loks to attach my sheaths to my packs. I've used them for about 7 years now and have had zero issues with them. They have a new version of them now but I'm guessing they're just as good. I also have a video or two I did a while ago where I demonstrate how I use them and so on.
Hi thx for the vid! Could the side pouches fit a nalgiene sized bottle?
I'm confusing between rush 24 and all hazard prime. Both are so amazing to me, but If I can choose only 1, which is better ?
I have no experience with the Hazard pack but I'm sure it has the same 5.11 quality as all the other packs. It all comes down to the size, features and looks. The quality will be the same no matter what 5.11 pack you chose. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
How does this bag match up against the Goruck and the Heimplanet monolith? Those are my top three choices for travel/EDC bag? Great video man.
I feel it's better, almost in every way. The Goruck isn't a bad bag, it's made well but I don't feel they'er worth the money, a little over priced in my opinion. As for the Heimplanet monolith, it's not even in the same category as the RUSH24, and also over priced. The 5.11 packs are made very well and will last for years to come. I've done a lot with my RUSH packs and they still look brand new, a little dirty because they are used hard but still look brand new. The Goruck isn't a bad bag but personally I'd take the 24 in the woods with me over the Goruck.
TheTacticalDefender thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate the info. There are things i like about the goruck and things i like about the rush24. I will definitely take your advice into consideration when i make my final decision, thanks!
Great Vid Bud Hooyah!
Thank you!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
5.11 "Organize Your Shit."
i am currently putting my 3day "survival" bag together
and i allready decided to go for a 5.11 backpack but i dont know which one i should get myself
its purpose as said is for 72h and i am going to use molle pouches
my main problem is the size of the rush72
it seems too big for extra molle pouches
+Stefan Mauhart In my experience when using the 72 you don't have to add anything like pouches to the outside, whereas the 24 you may have to to complete your load out. I'd rather have the extra room and not need instead of needing it and not having it.
Great review, does the rush 24 come with a waist strap? if it doesn´t, where can i buy the waist strap?
It does come with one. I don't use them so I usually tuck them away or remove them.
What would you say is the most weight to load the Rush 24 to to remain comfortable while carrying it over distance?
+techwg I would say around 30 pounds you'd be fine. I use the 72 and usually carry around 40+ when I'm hiking looking for a location to make my videos and never have an issue being uncomfortable. The 24 is a great strong pack that fits well and can hold a lot of gear.
+TheTacticalDefender I just did the calculation with the help of google, 30 lbs is 13 KG wow. I had a hard enough time dealing with 8KG being uncomfortable. Perhaps it is my walking posture. I noticed just earlier today that I tend to walk with the backpack on with a slight forward tilt, however when I stand perfectly straight spine that the 6.5 KG I have in it now is even more comfortable. Not sure if I would be able to maintain that posture for a 6 mile walk though. Are there any tips to being able to carry 30 lbs in this Rush 24 backpack comfortably?
I'm 225lbs and I stand 5'11" and even though I'm 30lbs overweight according to my doctor I'm strong and stubborn. lol - I had mostly manual labor jobs most of my working life, so carrying this pack at this weight really doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I also only hike to locations to make videos about 3 miles and some times a little more but it's usually hike to a spot, remove pack and all gear, make some videos for a few hours then hike back. If I was just hiking and not making videos I would have a much smaller pack with much less gear. Your stance or gate has a lot to do with handling weight as well as the pack is a big factor, the better the pack and how sits on your body will make it easier or harder to carry. The pack has a great shoulder harness system which helps but it also has a rigid backboard that also help keep the pack firmly on your back. Don't forget the pack is a heavy pack as well, very well built but not your average hiking pack. "Normal" hiking packs will be a lot lighter but not as tough in my opinion. I like the "tactical" looking packs so I deal with the extra weight.
+TheTacticalDefender I prefer nice good looking sturdy bags instead of fruity looking flimsy thin things that look like they will get ripped if you only fill it with kitchen towel lol. I am trying to strike a balance between everything that I want in my extended EDC, with the weight. The posture does seem to be very important. It may take me some time to build up the muscles to be able to walk for long periods with an erect back, but I think it would be worth it in the end if it means I can carry more things with me. This is less about "going on a hike" but just is about having more, useful, things. Even more than I have with me in my cargo pocket's Maxpedition Mini pocket organiser and on my belt. Can't carry everything on my person, so I have a scaled down miniaturised personal carry and then the backpack will fill the void with extras and better sized tools etc.
One thing to remember the stronger your abs are the less work your back has to do and so on. Just a thought here, have you looked at Vanquest gear? They make some really nice tough gear. The IBEX20 or 30 are really nice.
Hi is this bag water resistant? Like will my stuff get wet during a walk in the rain?
YuSheng Tan Resistant? yes. 100% water proof? No. Light rain and or drizzle your gonna be fine but hard rain or down pour, your gear will get wet. There are pack covers you can purchase that covers your pack in the rain, they work very well and they are not that expensive.
Just curious why did you put the patch written كافر on the bag and do you know what it means?
It reads Infidel… a person who has no religious faith; unbeliever. (loosely) a person who disbelieves or doubts a particular theory, belief, creed, etc.; skeptic. not accepting a particular faith.
@@GearReviewDepot Correct, but how do you know that? do you have arabic roots? I am really interested.
@@kareemkh90 No Arabic roots. Just pretty damn smart and do lots of research.
@@GearReviewDepot wow that’s cool. However, you should be careful if you visit a middle eastern country, you should not put it on the bag in public as people don’t like this word……stay safe and thanks for answering my questions………I love your accent by the way…….probably from Boston not sure though.
Can I get a link to that Arabic "Infidel" morale patch on the Ranger green Rush 24 bag?
I've had this patch a very long time, I think I bought it at a local gun show maybe 5 years ago or so. I did a quick search and I found this site I think they have some good INFIDEL patches. Check out: goo.gl/TQWR8m
Thank you! I Freakin' love Morale patches...
Great video. Thank you...
Thank you for watching!
Cant decide between the green or the camo.
Personally I'm not a fan of camo patterns on my gear, but in this case I'd go with camo over the green. I guess it comes down to your needs, where and when you'll be using the pack.
@@GearReviewDepot Thank you for the reply!!!! So, this bag will be my everyday carry bag. To work, to the range, basically everyday essential carry.
@@a.d.c7941 in that case, green of course
@@AngelikuS_ went with the camo lol
@@a.d.c7941i will go for the sandstone over the 2.0 ranger
Ho else buy one for school lmao
Hi, I really need a help here, I have a gaming laptop that is sized 17" long by 12" wide , I am thinking to get a rush 24, would it fit nicely? or should I just get a rush 72?
Based on the backpack measurements I read on 5.11 website the 24 should hold your laptop just fine. Have you looked into a messenger bag, something from Vanquest would work nice. Just not sure why you prefer a backpack over a designated messenger bag.
+TheTacticalDefender i Plan to hold two laptops in my backpack, anyway thanks
could this bag easily fit a 2-3 person backpacking tent?
Daniel Felder Easily? No. It would certainly fit in it the pack but it would most likely stick out. I personally I'd strap it to the outside of the pack via the PALS webbing.
Sounds good, Thanks for your time.
TheTacticalDefender
Is the molle webbing on the bottom of the bag custom or is it stock? I know some of the older reviews don't have the molle on the bottom for the 24.
weaponmaster98 Nope. All stock. I made zero mods to this bag. what you see is what you get.
great review... would the 24 for be good size for a carry on on a flight?
Absolutely.
***** great! I'm thinking of making more of a travel/camera bag for film my CZcams videos but I really like the pockets and design, and the ability to add to it
+SparkinHeart Have you looked at Vanquest? They make some very nice gear, their packs and sling bags are designed with pockets/dividers for gear, specifically camera equipment.
***** oh man, ok sweet I will. Thanks. I looked at some "camera backpacks" but I need the big opening for a small drone (snap drone) but I will look right now, thanks!
this pack needs a good detachable hip belt.
I don't care for the myself but I'm sure you're not alone in your thinking.
im going on an extremely long hike soon, about 500 miles and im looking for a lightweight backpack that i can load full of basically survival things, water, basic mres, knife, stuff along those lines, could your recommend this one? I was thinking the 72 would be better but im just looking around, what are your thoughts?
+K193 The RUSH72 is a great pack but it's heavy, even empty it's heavy. Not sure if this is the pack I would take. I don't know much about "normal" hiking packs, brands like Mountain Hardwear, Northface or Osprey but I'd imagine they are much lighter and the larger ones can carry lots of gear. A good friend of mine uses and will only use packs by Osprey, he's had many and swears by them. I have no clue the RUSH72 would do the job and hold all your gear but I just want you to know it's a heavy pack.
in basic and airborne school we had to run around with 100 lb rucksacks, i dont think the weight thing will be an issue, thanks a lot for the help, excellent, just trying to expand and research more
Hi, I'm 14 going on 15 and I'm about 5'11ish and I'm looking at this backpack and wondering if you think it would fit me. I travel to the range a lot and go on a good amount of trips over the summer and weekends and just wondering if you think it can fit clothes and gear and not be to full/heavy. Thanks for reading. I hope you can answer my questions because i can't get my hands on this backpack unless i buy it.
V3 R0CKET This bag would serve that purpose just fine. If you have a lot of gear to take with you then you might want to check out the RUSH72, but if you don't have too much and you pack it neat and orderly I'm sure this pack will get the job done.
