Thanks, Justin! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Are the OG two compartment bullet straps the same width as the GR1 straps? I’d love to have those on the current iteration of the 18L DCBR! That’s a huge part of why I like the GR1 and GR2 so much, and the GR3 straps are next level. They carry so well because of those straps. Happy Thanksgiving!

@ You're welcome! Big fan of the channel. FYI, my wife really enjoyed watching your GR3 loadout video with me. We both appreciated how thorough you were with your explanation and packing. I'd have to measure them and compare it to my GR1 BUT they are much thicker than the current iteration of the 18L. Like you said, it's one of the best aspects of the GR1 for sure. I've never seen a GR3 in person but I imagine the straps are awesome. Cheers!

Lol… we have good taste. I’ve been testing the 30L Ultra Dragonfly for about 3 weeks now, going to review it soon. What do you like about your 36L that makes it a toss-up vs the CTB26? The original ROBIC DCBR’s didn’t have the Aquaguard zippers, I got the updated version. Second version/release of that bag I guess.

@@Pack_roam I like that the Dragonfly is so light, no matter the material you get it in. I went for EPX600, cause it's less crinkly than ultra (have the 30L in ultra though). And I like that you get all the volume in the main compartment, with minimal (but just enough for me) organisation; sometimes I want to pack more clothes and/or camera gear - more often than not I travel with a 600mm lens, but then maybe I also wanna do some astro, or macro, take a tripod etc. Didn't know they updated the Bullet. And I'm surprised that Goruck would put aqua-guard zippers on regular lineup bag.

Awesome! Thanks for watching! ALPAKA makes great gear. The V2 is a big improvement over the original in my opinion.

Thanks for watching! The TEKKO is a great sling. Packolab sling is amazing, but hard to get ahold of and pricey.

I’m not familiar with that one, I’ll have to check it out!

@@houserhythm Well thanks for the updated feedback! And thanks for the tip on the Matador tubes. I’ve got a CAP 0.5 and thought the same thing, that it would make a perfect dopp. Sounds like you’ve got a great super minimal setup, combining tech and toiletries. That’s a great idea, and I’ve definitely considered wearing my boots instead of packing them. I actually bought the boots in this video, the Brunt Marin, because they’re composite toe, so I could probably wear them through the metal detectors in the TSA pre-check lines and not have to take them off. The reality though, is that my boots get FILTHY in the factories I work in. The boots in the video are pretty new, but I work with some chemicals and materials that get on my boots and make it less than ideal to wear them in public. Grease, oil, asphalt, adhesives, fiberglass, etc. Some of these chemicals have a very unpleasant odor as well, which would probably make me very unpopular with fellow travelers. Thanks for watching, and all the tips!

@@houserhythm Such a great bag. I’ve got the Griffin as well, and I’ve been strongly considering the 20L and the 35L.

No problem! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, ridiculous.

Awesome! Thanks!🙏🏻

@@dennnka1 with the sling

Awesome! Love to hear that and glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

That is true. Eventually I’ll sell one of mine. Most likely keep the Griffin, sell the standard.

Thanks! And no, lol, no commission. I don’t have any relationship with wandrd.

You should get an affiliate link from them! Seriously, this review was incredible. I’d bet you’ve sold many bags for them through this video

Make it 50 and you’ll never see that hat in a video again 😂 🤣 That’s my prop hat, my actual work hat tends to be filthy and actually gross.

@@Pack_roamhaha no worries. I just hated that fuckin camo when it was in service.

Nice. I think I’m going to give their Atlas belt a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! I’ve got a desert tiger stripe bullet that doesn’t carry well for work, but I’ll probably pick up a solid color classic or laptop bullet at some point just for that purpose. It would definitely lighten the load a bit and eat up less space. And yes, the 45L feels huge on my back when it’s all loaded out. It’s basically a suitcase with straps. It carries very well though, which is typical of GORUCK in my opinion. It can be a pain in crowds when traveling, but so is a roller bag and I love being hands free.

Oh wow. One bagging with a 21L GR1 has to be challenging, but it’s so nice to travel light when possible. I’ve been considering Kuhl for a while, any recommendations?

Wait your pants get a smell? The only reason I have another pair of pants is for spills or different style. And I'm not a non smelling person because I have to switch shirts every day. (Merino every 2 maybe 3 if I don't care xd)

@@Pack_roam I have never had anything from KUHL that I didn’t like and I have many, many of their clothing items. It’s worth the price. As for the packing, yes and I even had room left over in my 21L. Many of those just in case items, I don’t bring with me because either I find I don’t need to use them or if I really needed them I could go to the store and get them wherever I go. If I’m traveling overseas, I use the GR2 26L.

@@DaemonViews I have 3 Unbound Merino V-neck short sleeve shirts. I wear a couple times a week and almost every Sunday under my butt up shirt. I have yet to wash them and I’ve had them for a few months. I’ve only worn the same shirt each time. The other two I have folded up and put away until this one gets worn out.

@ either you are very lucky and sweat very little or don't have smelling sweat or nobody is telling you the harsh truth xd A friend of me also wanted to see how long his merino could last. We drove to a shopping center to get him a new shirt after a few days. And the second time he did that with a motorcycle trip and he got in my car afterwards, my seat kept smelling for weeks every time the seat heating went on.

Totally agree, they are super useful and take up no space. I’ve also just recently picked up a couple nano bags, you try those yet?

Definitely a great bag, but it’s pretty niche. Works out perfect for me, but if you don’t need that massive compartment it’s overkill.

@@Abiotisk thanks for watching! Really depends on the trip for me, sometimes I have to bring more clothes. That loadout still had a little bit of space in it. I would usually pair that with at least a small sling too, opening up a bit more volume in the GR3.

@@skipper4114 ur right, I never did. It’s the 45L GR3.

@@skipper4114 thanks for the heads up on that, I added it to the description.

@@Pack_roam thanks for the great review. Trying to decide on this one. Wondering how much more room this one has vs a Gr1 26L. keep up the great reviews. Where ya located?

@@skipper4114 thanks for watching! Im just south of Chicago. U talking GR1 26L vs GR3? Massive size difference. If you’re trying to decide between them… what would you be using it for?

@@Pack_roam Just for a 4-5 day travel. I use packing cubes. But with Gr1 26L is hard to fit a jacket or extra pair of shoes. My biggest concern is the weight. 4.3 lbs empty is a lot for a 35L. My wife went to Purdue.Cheers from Canada. keep up the great work.

@@Vikingbastich you’re welcome 😂 Great setup tho for work travel for me. Works out perfect.

@@DanLittle-o2u that is a damn good idea. Perfect place for that.

Came here to say this☝🏽

@@Rick-fz7tt It’s big, so I usually carry it in my EDC bag. It’s made appearances in several of my bag review videos. Sometimes, though, I’ll just grab it on my way out the door and toss it in my truck if I don’t need my whole bag.

I’ve never used the 16L. Personally though, I’d go with the 18L, which already seems on the small side for my 5’11” frame. It’s such a great size for daily carry for me, not sure I’d want to give up 2L of space. I’ve got a 14” work laptop that fits with plenty of room in the 18L, but a 17” will not fit. I’m not 100% sure what size laptop the 16L can take.

@@julianp.2840 lol, yep… that’s pretty much my position as well 😂

@@houserhythm Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate the feedback. Definitely something I need to improve.

I think he’s fine. No worries about the notes look. Well done review!

Thanks for watching! It would be nice to some external lashing points.

Definitely a nice sling. I don’t think durability is going to be an issue with the 400D UrbanBlend material. Plus, construction is solid. This thing isn’t going to fall apart. All zippers are YKK, the best zippers out there. The main external zippers are coated for weather resistance.

@@visionarystyle_ Both great slings. For me though, I think the Bellroy Venture Ready wins out. I think it’s got a better fidlock buckle, I like the organizational layout better, the way Bellroy does the dual zip main compartment, the automatic compression.

@@Pack_roam Thanks so much for your help! Just purchased the bellroy glad I made the right choice

Awesome! My pleasure! Great sling. U pretty much can’t go wrong with Bellroy.

@@LairdDavidson Thank! I haven’t had a DSLR for years. My main camera is a Canon R8 currently, which is definitely on the compact side.

@@Pack_roamThanks for the reply. I actually own a tiny Sony miirrorless, LOL, but my main cameras are still DSLRs. The cost of changing all of my pro lenses and bodies is insane for no gain in image quality at the moment.

@@amalayum Thanks! And thanks for the heads-up. Not sure why that was off for that video.

@@bills.2214 Thanks for watching! I definitely enjoyed using the TEKKO, very versatile. The Dendrite is next on my list for review. Still getting acquainted with it. For upsizing to a bag, take a look at GORUCK. Love their bags. I’ve got a GORUCK Bullet Ruck that lives in my truck as a get home bag. Wintertime I’ll load up some cold weather gear in one of their Kit Bags and keep that in the truck as well.

TORN BETWEEN MALAGA AND 6L TEKKO. ANY THOUGHTS?

@@BOOSTEDLASER I have the Malaga, don't have the 6L Tekko. Malaga is 11L, nice organization with a larger main pocket. I keep a 40oz water bottle in that compartment, and that is less than half of the main pocket capacity (roughly speaking).

@@Pack_roam GOOD OR BAD "NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED"?

@@BOOSTEDLASER Good. Much nicer in person, website photos don’t do it justice.

@@ArtByKevinZapata That sounds like the one I’ve got. It’s X-PAC material. Which is a laminated pack fabric and has that crisscross pattern to it.

@@vanquestgear My pleasure! Overall, very impressed with the TEKKO platform.

I just double checked, it’s a word 🤣. I used the front pocket as a dump for keys, AirPods, etc. No issues getting in and out of it for me. It’s got some volume to it, so it opens out a bit. I had some top-down POV footage of me accessing that pocket on the go but it didn’t make the cut. Had the Go cam on the brim of my hat and 2/3 of the frame was my beard 🤦‍♂️😂

@@Pack_roam 🤣🤣

@@mikeachoy Thanks for watching! Both great slings, but if I had to pick one… it would definitely be the T21.

@@georgeseriani2482 Wow. Are they tearing in random spots or around stress points? The 500D in both should be similar if not the same quality. Vanquest and Mystery Ranch both use Cordura brand 500D. Should be the same quality. While it’s rated at half the abrasion resistance of 1000d, it’s pretty substantial material.

@@ayadmanaa3938 thanks! Yes, I do believe it will break in significantly with extended use. Already starting to see it in the straps and the front pocket that I use all the time.

Good question. Alpaka’s flight sling, both sizes, and the flight pouch are on my list, haven’t gotten to them yet. I would think the flight sling would excel if you carried an iPad mini, switch or over-the-ear headphones.

That tracks. The CTB26 is definitely on the large side for EDC. The main reason I didn’t order the CBB22 is no dedicated laptop compartment. You carry a laptop or large tablet often?

@@Pack_roam ​​⁠for work travel I carry a laptop and a iPad and I will use a backpack with a laptop compartment or the Evergoods transit Briefcase. For leisure travel I usually just carry an iPad so using the CBB22 will work fine. It’s certainly not perfect for every occasion, but it seems to meet most of my needs most of the time.

@@kellymorast6460 It certainly looks fantastic. Lack of separate device compartment is a no-go for me though. I rarely carry a backpack without my work laptop or my 13” iPad. I still kind of want one though 😁

Unless, and this is controversial, you prefer bags without water bottle pockets anyway. Like me 😁

I’m in!

@@Karif-dk9iv interesting. There’s no drain for the water bottle pockets? I did not notice. That is a miss.

It took me a while to come around to EG, but we’re on the same page.

Except it jams a sharp ridge in my lower back. Goruck, mystery ranch, osprey, Gregory, ... All comfortable except EG (exception for my mpl22)
