Heavy but superb quality - 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 Backpack

This pack is meant to hold enough supplies for 72 hours - 3 days. I currently use it as a carry on when traveling weekends and as a bug out bag the rest of the time. It is heavy empty, which is because of the reinforcements, padding, etc. This may deter some folks who want to fill it completely with firearms and Ammo, because it would considerably up the weight. While I agree, the padded straps and the way it rides on your back are ideal for properly dispersing the load. If you want lighter weight, go with the 48 hr 5.11 bag. Honestly this 72 rush is plenty of storage for my needs and the $50 gift card that was available at the time for free is what tipped my buying decision.
