Had a guy rucking back and forth to work everyday in Iraq a decade or so ago I asked him if he was training for the AT. He had never heard of it before. Then he went and did it 👍. He was just rucking to stay in shape. I bet you could go to 65#’s if you added a belt to that AWESOME pack 🤘🏽
Good break down. I haven’t gotten a Connor. The Umlindi with Pals Pocket is my go-to. Been considering a Connor pocket to use on my Ute and Qui-Ya if needed. Love their gear. I don’t see them adding some sort of feature for the ruck plates. Seems too niche for what they do. I use my GR for that like you. Built for it, but not as comfortable as the HPG carriage system.
I do, in certain cases. I cannot carry anything more than a 20lb plate comfortably in the Connor. In my gr1 with shaddox tactical pocket, I can carry 50. But, the Connor is much better and much more versatile as a backcountry pack. I use it for EDC as well.
That’s a good dog
great review, and i love your bit at the end about getting out into nature, its soo good for us all.

Appreciate the update video man!
Where did you get that fluorescent orange snake skin pouch?
I think an Etsy seller. I can’t recall who though.
Thanks for the video. Do u like ur Connor bag vs ur gr1 better for EDC and hiking?
