@@ThatCleanMT Wow! Impressive! Stands the test of time.

@@shred_pow_pow Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to give that a shot.

V2 in X-PAC would be nice. Or I’d like to see it in Ultra.

@@burr130 It’s 1.5” wide.

@@nizamialickolli8603 Good question! I haven’t used the flight sling yet, but It’s on my list and I’d like to snag one soon. Looks to me like it’s got slightly less capacity than the Metro V2, there’s pros and cons to that. Also, looks like gatekeepers on the ends of the straps which are OK, but not my favorite. I love the Maglockz clips on the Metro V2 strap. One of my favorite features of the bag. Very quick and easy attachment/removal while also providing excellent security.

@@nizamialickolli8603 Also, FYI, finally got my hands on the Bellroy Venture Ready Sling. I believe you mentioned that a while back. Review soon on that.

I think everything that has to be with 511 should be affordable. This is my last thought.

its super cheap in sweden hehe

@@Jasondranoff That is a good question. You’re right, dimensionally it is bigger than the 21L GR1. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have a 21L GR1 to do a side by side comparison. I’d be interested in hearing from someone that did though.

@@Ferrari_M5 Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback!

@@asdf1234_. It can. I’ve done it. But it does eat up some volume. Doesn’t lay as flat as a standard bullet ruck, for instance.

@@Pack_roam would love to see what that looks like if you ever make an update video on the GR3 talking about your thoughts on it and using it

@@asdf1234_. Copy that. Good idea, thanks for the tip. I do plan on doing an update to the GR3 review, and that’s definitely a key consideration when using the GR3 as a travel bag: you have to pack something for use as a day bag or carry option. Especially if it’s a work trip. The GR3 is just way too big for a back and forth from the hotel to work, or as a day bag for vacations.

@@Pack_roam I'll add another idea haha. Show the same bullet packed inside of a 32L kit bag to show how much space it takes up

@@asdf1234_. Ok! Love the ideas. Sounds like you’re working out one bag travel options? Just out of curiosity, are you looking to one bag travel for business or pleasure?

@@KelvinHew7 Finally got to the CTB26! Thanks for watching! That’s the best way to describe this bag… it’s just fun to travel with. The 18L DC Bullet is another bag that’s fun to use. Great size, great layout. I pre-ordered the second offering of the black/coyote x-pac CAP 0.5 after they sold out first time around. No idea when that’s coming. October I think they said? They’ve got the black and orange in stock right now, may order one. What do you think of the new Transit Briefcase?

​@@Pack_roam the new Transit Briefcase is Evergoods goodness in terms of the internal organization and materials and it will be a very good option in the briefcase segment of carry. I see there are other tech briefcases which I can't remember, so it's a good move from Evergoods from a business standpoint.

@@KelvinHew7 I’ve had one in my cart for two days. Debating…

Very cool! Love COB gear. Definitely very unique. Haven’t seen my X-POD II in a while… my youngest son won’t give it back! One of these days I’ve gotta try the EVO Sling. I agree 💯 - love the expandable versatility of the X-POD. Great channel by the way! I like your style. In a former life I played bass guitar and aspired to be a musician.

@@Pack_roam Hey, cool with a fellow musician who's also interested in bags and stuff! Thanks for the follow!

@@JohnAgnewAdviser I agree. GORUCK plates are pricey. There’s always the cheap Amazon plates. Fraction of the price and they work just fine.

@@christopherwhitley9923 Massive! Definitely fills the gap if you have a need for a very large bag. I can’t do one bag work travel with the GR2, but I can with the GR3!

Yeah i feel that. Just ordered the GR3. Thanks for the video, it definitely helped me decide.

@@christopherwhitley9923 My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

@@icemantree Thanks! For personal travel, GR2 for sure. For work, GR3 is the only bag I can get my steel toe boots into and still have room for the rest of my clothes/gear. It’s just a massive bag. Loaded out, it’s like having a suitcase on your back. I do prefer the organization in the GR2. Since all of the volume is in a single, very deep compartment with the GR3, it’s great for large items. If you don’t have any oversized items and don’t need the depth of the GR3, I’d go with the GR2.

@@Pack_roam awesome thank you!! Was leaning towards the organization of the gr2 but just couldn't decide. What you said makes perfect sense 🙏🙏😄

@@icemantree No problem! 🙏

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

It does look very similar.

@@Pack_roam Yep, a very good backpack. Lived through several brand switches I made :)

@@jolly207 thanks for watching!

It is a really cool sling and I’m glad I squeezed an order in.

lol. will do.

@@mattwypijewski4192 I know exactly where you’re coming from. I feel like the bullet rucks look too small on me too, but this one is such a perfect size and layout. GR1 26L looks better on me for sure though.

@@vanquestgear Thanks, Alex! Zebra’s were “nice” pens I wasn’t able to get my hands on often when I was a kid. Love the compact version for carry. I’ve never tried putting a Fisher cartridge in there, going to have to give that a shot! I’ve got a couple space pens around here somewhere…

@@TrevUk Takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’! Solid bag.

@@harcoremonkey true. It is a bit on the large side for EDC. But if you’ve only got the budget for one bag to do it all…. maybe.

@@yankaitan8648 GORUCK 34L GR2 comes to mind, but it’s a big bag when you load it out. Hard to get around that at that size. It’s a little smaller at 27L, but have you checked out the Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault? Stellar bag.

@@KelvinHew7 Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I’d love to see what a V3 brings.

@@Pack_roam currently I'm using the AER Day Sling 3 X-Pac and at times I need to carry a small umbrella on rainy days. I have a Peak Design Packable Tote inside the sling if I need more carry space. I'm torn between the X-Pod and the Packolab Samurai. Both are good for my use case so yeah.

@@KelvinHew7 well, the X-POD definitely wins on cost and lead time. The Samurai’s are amazing though, especially considering you get to choose colors, materials, options. X-POD is a much more compact carry, unless you’re really stuffing out the expansion area. Really comes down to price and how long you’re willing to wait though. What are you leaning towards?

​​​@@Pack_roamI'm torn between these 2 to be honest. The Samurai feels more special because it's made to order and it's personalised. I may get one in the future because I also want to support Borys with what's going on in Ukraine. My local EDC community highly recommended the Samurai as well. On the other hand, I would like to see the V3 of the X-Pod as well. In the meantime, the Day Sling 3 X-Pac is still carrying well for me. My loadouts is always changing depending on what I need to carry when I'm out.

@@KelvinHew7 I hear you. Decisions, decisions… nice to have options though, right? If the v3 is coming, it’s worthwhile to wait and see what that brings. Let me know where you land on this.

Hey! Thanks! That’s the medium size accessory bag from Topo Design.

@@Pack_roamAppreciate the prompt reply, thanks a mil. I have a couple of the micro ones but will pick up a medium, looks more useful, especially for that slot.

@@sham86ful it’s a good size. I also have one in the large size. It’s too big, I don’t use it often.

@@Pack_roamCheers. Just as an aside, really like the setting and grade of delivery. Not over the top/clinical presentation. Clean and professional as well as good, practical cutaways. You’ll no doubt get a lot bigger, and replying to comments will get heaps more labour-intensive, but it’s one of the key things us pleb viewers appreciate the most. Thanks again.

@@sham86ful Wow! Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback. I enjoy making videos, and working to improve, and comments keep me at it. That’s really my favorite part, and I strive to respond to all of them. But you’re right, I definitely see how that can become a lot of work and even unrealistic for bigger channels.

Thanks! Not sure about the laptop, I don’t have one to try. I know my 14” work laptop fits, and I’ve got an old Dell 17” that definitely does not fit.

Thanks! Definitely a great bag. One that will always have a place in the collection for me.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Great sling if you wind up changing your mind on the bigger version.

@@Pack_roam thank you

I’ll work on that. Thanks for the feedback.

@@markanthony8840 Wow. Tough question. My brain says DC bullet, but my heart says GR1. I just love the GR1, there’s something about that bag. The dual compartment bullet, on the other hand, makes more sense with the organization, quick access pocket and size.

@@markanthony8840 You debating between the two?

@@Pack_roam I’m torn and trying to make a decision. I do love the heritage look though and wish the Bullet came in heritage(non-camo)

I agree. Definitely better as an outdoor bag. Osprey Nebula looks interesting, might have to check that out.

@@raven_glass At the moment, my favorite EDC bag is probably the GORUCK 18L Dual Compartment Bullet Ruck. The EVERGOODS CPL24 is up there for me too. I’ll be looking to pick up the CTB20 when it’s restocked in October, love the 26L version of that bag but it’s a bit big for EDC.

@@naokinatsume7231 Thanks! Glad you liked it.

@@KelvinHew7 Thank you! Glad you liked the review. Love the 18L DC Bullet. Such a great size and layout. I carry mine quite a bit. Sounds like you’re getting a pretty good deal on it too.

😂 You’re right. I usually try to wear light colored shirts with black bags. I don’t like the dark table either. I’m planning to replace or refinish.

Awesome! Thanks! 🙏🏻 Glad you liked the video. I do really like the CPL. Brought it along last week for a work trip and used it for back and forth to the plant everyday. Such a great bag for daily carry. I haven’t used the ALPAKA Elements Pro, but have one inbound.

I’ve got a pair of compact Leupold’s that will, otherwise not sure.

@@Pack_roam Thank you!

Usually a few days if I’m remembering correctly.

Thanks!🙏🏻

Thanks!🙏🏻 You’ve hit the nail on the head 💯 . The bullet is perfect for EDC, and the additional organization in the dual compartment bullet is all upside.

Sounds like you’re pretty tough on your bags!

Copy that. Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏻

Thanks! 🙏🏻 Glad it was helpful!

@@TheSac1122 I hear you. It’s a great sling. I love everything I have from ALPAKA though, they make great gear. I’ve got the V2 metro sling inbound right now.

@@bobporter7742 Yes it is! Literally immediately after opening it I wanted to order another one. I’d like to get one in waxed canvas. Definitely want the wing set on the next one. What options did you get?

@@Pack_roam Both are the traditional like you have. No wings. One has the shock cord front. One has the flap. Both have orange interior.
