Bags - what do you have

[Charlie GSY]

Tried looking for a general "what bag/ruck/edc pouch etc have you got type" of thread and couldn't find one so thought I would do one myself.

New here so hope i haven't missed it somewhere else !

Interested on seeing bags side by side for size comparisons.

Obviously people might change bags based on what they are doing but how do you make swapping gear over easy? Do you have a set amount of core gear that you always take? Do people have different pouches for different kit like medical/food prep/edc etc?

I'll start with a pic of my bags

http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/Charlie-122/EDC/Bags.jpg

From left to right: Celinni Microlight, Dakine Heli Pro 2, Musto messenger bag, Timberland pouch, Gul water proof roll up, Hawkstead waist/field bag, Maxpedition Falcon 2 (Main Bag), Northface Jester, Overboard waterproof rucksack and Hardigg Solid Stormcase.

If anyone wants any detail on any of these please let me know.

I reckon I've got too many to photograph, I'd probably need a fish eye lens to include all the rucksacks and messenger bags I have

My main two packs at the moment are a Maxpedition Condor II and a Kriega R35. Most days I use one or the other. The MaxP is being used as a work bag in the day time (when I'm on the tube/train) and then converted into a dog walk bag in the nice evenings (e.g stove, chair etc)

[Charlie GSY]

Benp1 - That Kriega looks a nice bag

Marcus2 at least it's biodegradable !

I'm surprised you leave that outside the front door, it might get nicked.

[Chastiser]

a rush 12 meets all my needs, but then i dont do backpacking as such. it is certainly enough for an every day, take to work bag and then is great for a days walking with the jetboil and stuff in it.

[ChrisR]

I just took advantage of the Tesco Wenger bag offer and got a nice ruck-sack, messenger bag, wash bag & mini suitcase ... very nice quality :) They'll be used mainly for business trips & commuting.

[Manofkent]

I use the rush 12 for my EDC.
I dont know why its called a 12 because it can easily hold more than 12hours worth of kit.
I have a rolly polly on one side for a big water bottle and a tubular grenade pouch on the other side for dog poo bags and hand sanitiser.
At work once or twice a week I do a 24-31 hour shift which includes an 8 hour sleep in. The rush 12 holds all my edc stuff, as well as an over night bag, change of clothes, dinner, breakfast and lunch, extra water bottle and a compact towel.

I have a maxpedition versipack for light weight walks, but if im going to be out all day I take a pretty cheap 15ltr bag I got from decathlon.

[marcus2]

I just go and help myself to more :D

[MeetTheGeeks]

Kifaru E&E with either the organiser on the front or the Vertical Claymore. Two skinny minis on the sides for a bit of extra room. Suits my needs so far and the xray straps are very comfortable

[Corso]

light travel US claymore bag or small hydration pack

hiking - hpg tarahumara

work - laptop rucksack

[Green Tea]

I use a Finnish gas mask bag for kicking about, a 20L Berghaus daysack on the bike and a Lowe Alpine 50L pack when travelling.

My watchword is cheap as, no matter the cost, I will break it or lose it. The pack was a hand-me-down, GM bag was £7 and the day sack was £12 in a Millets sale. All have performed admirably but they still can't touch the function/cost ratio of a placcy bag...

If they start making Tesco bags with shoulder straps I'll be set. :D

All of them are airline friendly as carry on luggage.

[Charlie GSY]

Some good combinations out there

Particularly liking ManofKent's and MeetTheGeeks's setup

AndyLaser - i like the look of that Berghaus

Need to get my kit sorted in pouches then i can transfer easily from one bag to the next as have kit everywhere at the moment!

Placcy bags seem pretty rare over here !

Its a US thing I think. 1200 cubic inches?

Yep, I think that's right. We measure ours in litres, they do cubic inches.

[Doright]

Eberlestock Halftrack - work go bag
MaxP Active Shooter - work
MaxP Falcon II - work
MaxP Kodiak - home
More MaxP for odd add on's
All in black too.

Hoping the Kifaru bug stays away....

[Potatohead]

For work its a well beaten wenger laptop messenger stuffed with.... er....... stuff :)

For day trips currently still sporting a travelproof sahara raider but am needing something a bit bigger in similar style.

[Charlie GSY]

More pics please !

Doright that is a lot of MP stuff you have. Was not aware of Kifaru until i joined up here - sticking to my Mp stuff as not a fault yet.

Charlie

[Doright]

Sorry don't do pics as need some hosting account tripe I don't understand.

Take a look at Eberlestock, it's amazing quality & a great price too. Mind you, pretty much anything is cheaper than Kif kit!

[Noddy]

Many I have, all different

Only one I really want is a Kifaru 38L Express (sans molle) in coyote

But I do require a decent 70L lightweight. And have always wanted a GoLite something or other

PS spent some time looking at Eberlestock yesterday - lots of them - wasn't really grabbed.

[Charlie GSY]

Doright & Noddy - those Eberlestock look nice, very nice - especially the rifle carry option.

Doright thought if you had over 50 posts you could add attachments without the external hosting issue. Think it should be below the text box thing and called manage attachments ? Maybe wrong

likewise If I didnt love My kif express Id have an xray .
it seems to works great with the claymore as a combo , but is it tecnically a''clay- ray'' or an ''x-more''???

[marcus2]

You bag people speak in a foriegn language !!

[Charlie GSY]

ha ha - have to agree Marcus2

New here and started the thread but like a well thought out bag and to see new kit/makes i've not heard of before so trying to translate and search for them all ! :)

Charlie

[Essexman]

Been using my Rush 12 all week while away with family. It's great bag for packing all that family needs gear in. Waterproofs, babywipes, drinks, packed lunch etc. The top zip thing is perfect for keys and money. Smaller front has all the need to get to quick items, main area for bigger stuff.

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now. Last night my misses shouted at me "if you tell me one more thing about that bloody bag it's going to have to sleep outside".

Each to their own etc but I just dont get all the Kifaru business.There is nowhere in the British isles that needs that sort of kit surely ? I dont feel the need to look like action man I suppose ?

[Charlie GSY]

Like the look of that Rush 12 - similar to my MP falcon 2 but maybe a bit bigger ?

[Andy]

Lets see

Lowe Alpine 80L (camping) Not used much since the move back to Nottingham
Kifaru Maruader + lots of Extras - Mostly used as a large medical reserve bag
Lowe Alpine 30L Do it all bag and has held up since sixth form.
Kifaru E&E (with organiser) - Goes through phases of being used, gets used when I'm carrying bits of paper mostly
Kifaru Tailgunner - Very handy bag and morphs to suit a number of rolls
I've also got MaxP jumbo and proteus which were used as man bags when walking or cycling respectively, Hardly used since the Tailgunner came along

For Normal use the Maruader is too heavy IMO. Outside of using it for first aid I've never used the panel pocket, hydration section or any of the pals but in the very specific rol it works well but I think could be lighter. The 30L seems to be the better pack for normal. The Tailgunner has been the best normal use bit of kifaru gear I have, with the waist belt and shoulder straps it's stable for mountain biking, blends in with motorbike gear (and fits in the topbox with a helmet) yet doesn't look out of place with a suit

[zagabul]

Here is my journey in search of the perfect backpack.

It started with a 5.11 Rush 24.
Great for for pocket and if you like to compartemtalize your stuff. I changed it because it looked a little bit to "tactical" for my taste and also because it is quite bulky and heavy. The shape of the bag doesn't change much if it's empty or full. So it always looks like you have a full bag. The bag is fairly squarish also. Not a looker!
I then moved to Osprey and never looked back. Fantastic brand. A lot of thought are put in their backpack. Very functional.
I first got an Osprey Quazar:
http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp350/zagabul/quasar.jpg
While very comfortable with a laptop pocket I found it too bulky when empty. Also i hated the compression straps on the side. They always get in the way when you want to open the bag.
I then got the Osprey Talon 11:
http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp350/zagabul/talon11clover.jpg
Great lightweight small backpack with water pocket. Two pocket on the straps are ideal for a GPS and a compass. Hip pocket are a plus also. Great for day hike as long as you don't bring to much with you. I just wish it would be a little bit bigger.
Here comes the Osprey Escapist 15:
http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp350/zagabul/escapist15.jpg
Front pocket is great to organise your stuff, only 1 strap pocket (OK still), I pulled the trigger on that one because of the extra space vs the Talon 11 but also because of the integrated waterproof cover. The only problem is that the cover takes space at the bottom of your bag and is in the way if you want to carry larger items at the bottom of your bag. It feels like the Talon 11 can hold more stuff than the Escapist 15...:S
Finally is just got the Osprey Hornet 32:
http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp350/zagabul/osprey-hornet-32.jpg
Amazing bag! Super light weight, huge capacity and packs very small when empty.(picture doesn't give justice - Empty it is as big as the Talon 11). It is a top loader (the only one from the list) which for me makes a lot of sense now that I am using it. It is my EDC bag. Small enough on the bike but big enough to carry your groceries if need be or go for an overnight. The only thing i would like to change on this bag is the mesh on the top. It should have been ripstop nylon like the rest of the bag. I got the separate Opsrey waterproof cover for it and it fit like a glove (as you would expect)

Hopefully this is it. :surrender: Best bag for EDC, Carry on luggage, Day hike, Overnighter, Travel: Osprey Hornet 32! :happy72:

I'm poor and it works if you think your kit out right :)

[Manofkent]

Dont forget the 5.11 rush Covert.
Its a non-tactical version of the rush 12. 600D cordura, rather than 1000D. But doesnt look tactical. A few more £££ though.

ive got that exact bag in that colour and i love it especially the hidden pockets and the molle on the inside is very handy for organization.
ive also got spec ops T.H.E. pack which i use as my bug out bag; its a bit of a waste though as its a great great bag but has never left the house since the day i bought it, it just sits in the cupboard. where the hell am i gonna bug out to if tshtf. but i do absolutley love both bags.

[Charlie GSY]

pbonanza - agree going to be using my falcon 2 for everything going forward - that is why i originally asked how people transfer their kit for different jobs/environments/activities etc.

I am going to get some cheap ish organisers (large pouches i guess) so i can quickly transfer between biking and walking for example.

[Andy]

I use kifaru pull outs, both my cycling and walking jackets will fit in a medium so the cycling jacket lives in a white one and the walking jacket lives in brown one. a cheap pen and pencil seem to live in most bags I may use for work

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

Work- Maxpedition Sitka (khaki). Contains lunch, stethoscope, pens, personal medication, ThruNite Ti light, spare batteries, hygiene kit (for nights), book and other bits I've probably forgotten.

Out & About- 5.11 RUSH 12 with Bottle Carrier. Contains 'Potette' folding potty with several liners, FAK, multitool (Charge TTi), spare torch (Balder SE1), change of clothes for my daughter, snacks, drink, pen and paper, spare batteries, titanium spork, iPod/kindle, hand sanitiser, probably more.

The Sitka was my 'potty bag' but it was really uncomfortable under load. It's fine for work as it only gets carried short distances. The RUSH 12 is a great bag, maybe a bit heavy and not great in the heat (sweaty back!) but the best bag I've used so far.

We've got one of those!! Best bit of kit going if you have kids. We got it years ago when ours where toddlers, but still keep it in the car for those times of need. In fact even my wife has used it !

[benp1]

I reckon I've got too many to photograph, I'd probably need a fish eye lens to include all the rucksacks and messenger bags I have

My main two packs at the moment are a Maxpedition Condor II and a Kriega R35. Most days I use one or the other. The MaxP is being used as a work bag in the day time (when I'm on the tube/train) and then converted into a dog walk bag in the nice evenings (e.g stove, chair etc)

OK, change this to 3 bags in very regular rotation
Millican Ryan Domepack - work bag when travelling by public transport (which is more than I'd like at the moment)
Kriega R35 - work bag when travelling by motorbike
MaxP Condor II - longer walks with the dog (i.e. not a park with concrete paths!). Go to the fields nearby so is now ready packed with brew kit, bins, chair, waterproof, torch, folder

Couldn't be bothered with having to switch bags in the evening when walking the dog. The MaxP pack is perfect for this duty, I can drag it past overgrown brambles and branches, and dump it down on anything and its happy. Don't carry much weight in it. Sweaty back though!

My other bags get used less frequently, but all have a specific purpose!

I just took advantage of the Tesco Wenger bag offer and got a nice ruck-sack, messenger bag, wash bag & mini suitcase ... very nice quality :) They'll be used mainly for business trips & commuting.

I too bought a wenger backpack an I'm impressed with it.

I've been toying with the idea of swapping out my backpack for some webbing to carry minimal kit and a camelback to carry water when I go out walking and climbing in the peaks. Does anyone know if that would work or should I stick to what I know?

Hill People Gear Tarahumara - lovely setup but I'm in two minds about the harness - i'm a skinny runt and it doesn't sit all that well on me - I've even got disheartned enough to put it up on here once of twice but I think now I've resigned it to my winter daypack - when I've enough layers to pad it out

I've a small TT hydration pack for biking

and a DIY chest pack similar to the Snubby but made from a TT Escape and evation pouch as I like the organisation in it - fits neatly under both the hydration pack and the Tarahumara

Crocodile print leather Mulberry holdall in oxblood. My favourate bag of all time. Used all the time for weekends away and overnight stays. Probably the best looking bag ive ever seen. Ages wonderfully.

And a snugpack sleeka force I bought for traveling. Perfect bag for traveling the world. Not too big, not too small. Hardy, has a rain cover in a pocket underneath that covers the bag and keeps everything dry when it suddenly rains or its strapped to roof of a truck in Guatemala! Very affordable, perfect for backpackers!

[Puncture]

This is my preferred daysack for military use and civvie mountain-related stuff (aside from scrambling). Absolutely awesome bag... Very pleased with it.

Started off with a 5.11 Rush 72 thinking it could do for all my needs but found it was too big for everyday and not big enough for several days worth of walking. Current line up (all in black) is as follows:

5.11 Rush 12 for work
Kifaru X-ray for shopping and hiking anywhere up to two days
Kifaru Zulu/XTL for walkiing anywhere longer or Winter when I've got more gear to carry (or if I'm bringing a case of beer home from the shops)
5.11 Rush 72 now carries my winter car gear but I'll probably sell it on sooner or later
Also got a Deuter Attack for if I ever get the pushbike out again

All sorts of pouches from all the usual suspects so I'm pretty sorted for every eventuality now. Only change I might make is that as I don't carry a laptop for work now, I may switch the Rush 12 for a Kif E&E or something smaller.

[two_zero]

Ortlieb Messenger pro - big, waterproof, I'm using it for pretty much everything big but perfect for cycling and is pretty much exactly the same size as ryanairs restrictions for hand luggage.

Got an old fjällräven as well for general use when I don't have to carry as much (even thou it fits impressively much for the size)

might look into something more specific for hiking/backpacking/camping, but I feel I have a bit too many backpacks atm.
