Reply to: Best bug out bag backpack Posted March 27, 2022

I just bought the 5.11 RUSH 24 2.0 in double-tap color scheme and added the MOAB 10 also in double-tap with the connecter straps. I like the color scheme very much. I got fixed on it after I bought their laptop messenger bag in double-tap. It’s a great laptop bag IMO. Very well made and durable. The jury is out on the above bags. They look great but I haven’t taken to the field yet to see how they perform. Everything looks great thus far.

I just bought a 5.11 RUSH 24 2.0 pack. It looks nice, but I would hate to waste it by having it sit idle on a shelf waiting for an emergency situation. So I got my old military issue rucksack with frame out of storage. That thing is a tank and carries a ton. It has a very large interior and 3 smaller side pouches. I’m wondering how it will work as a bug out bag. That old rucksack served me well on long marches and weeks in the field when I was in the Army in the 90s. I’m putting together my bug out bag components now based on the lists at this site. It’s expensive, but I’m getting there. I hate Amazon, but it’s amazing how I can get what I need very quickly. It will be interesting to see how it gets stored in my old military rucksack.
