Great vid. Took the GR2 26L on a 5-day trip to the Grand Canyon back in April. Just came back from a 5-day trip to Mexico City with the GR1 26L. Hands down, the GR1 26L carried a lot better… the thinner profile and simple design was such a treat to use. With the same amount of travel gear, GR1 didn’t feel overstuffed like the GR2 did.
Nice feedback. I honestly never thought of the 26L GR2 for travel… even though I use the 26L GR1 for it. The compact design just makes me feel like it is smaller. Thanks for sharing your take!
Interesting. This makes me feel better about my GR1
@@MrLlama999 I’ve owned every variation of these bags, except for the GR3, and I keep coming back to the GR1 26L. Its utility is unmatched. For me, if it doesn’t fit in my GR1 26L, I don’t need it.
Great video. I purchased a GR2 and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks
Nice! Glad to hear it worked out for you.
I have the GR2 26L Heritage that I use for all my needs. It’s my EDC tech, gym and travel bag all in one solution and it doesn’t feel out of place in any of those scenarios.
I’m afraid my other bags will now be collecting dust.
I love the Heritage bullet. It is now my EDC for work. But, the other bags still have jobs :) Not in this video, but I just got the M22. It is the perfect climbing gym bag!
Thanks a lot man! This was the gateway video to my new addiction, lol! Very informative and helpful. Thanks very much.
Ha! Happy to help.
I have my first ruck as GR2 26L on the way, but sounds like I should go with the GR1 21L first. Im looking to find 1 bag for EDC and occasional weekend travel.
Lots of people like the 26L for EDC. You'll probably be ok. Let me know what you think once it gets in.
Perfect, will be glad to watch
Thanks.
I own 4 Bullet rucks, 3 15L and a 10L. Including the new laptop Bullet. Waiting for GR1 21L in tiger stripe to come back in stock for onebag travel use.
I wonder if Tiger Stripe will come back in the GR1. Might have better luck grabbing it 2nd hand.
Why so many bags?
Correction on the LRR sizes : 33L and 39L.
Correct. Thanks.
Really wish they still made all the different bags.
I have my Long Range Rucker loaded out as a Bug-Out-Bag when not in use.
Nice. Do you also use it for rucking or just have it as a go-bag?
@@Rucking Both, I have the front section filled with general gear, flashlights, ponchos, first aid, stuff I would use on a Ruck/Hike. The main compartment I keep a packing cube I can easily take out and throw some plates in if I want to go for a Ruck.
How many times have you had to “bug out?”
@@the5chord Never and hopefully it stays that way. But Natural disasters happen.
@@patricktynan5897 couple of years ago I was wishing I had a bug out bag of a Kirkland Toilet Paper. So I guess it does happen. I wonder if the GR3 could fit that?
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to throw it together! I’m debating a GR2 26L 500d vs Kaidan for edc with tablet/laptop for school/work + the occasional kid’s gear (because kids ha ha). Also will be my travel bag. I like to one bag and I’m trying to have a hybrid bag to do it all
What would be some of the trade offs of x-pac and what applications would I want it over cordura. Is it mainly aesthetics, weight, and waterproof?
You cover the main differences. But, based on your post you’re looking at a 26L GR2 vs 34L. So, I think the question is how much space do you want? That may help guide you better.
Personally, I’d go with which one you aesthetically like the most (unless there is something specific you’re wanting/needing). If it was me, between those 2, I’d go Kaidan. While I love and use the 26L GR2 as a gym bag, it is a little too much of a tortoise shell. I wouldn’t want to carry it as EDC. But, that’s more a personal aesthetic preference.
Yeah good point. You think the 34L would look better under-filled than the 26L would more on the packed out end of the spectrum?
Thinking about travel: At most it would be 5 days worth. We typically go places with laundry facilities so I just do laundry if we are gone longer so 34L should be plenty I would think
@@justinscarbrough448 either one will be under filled with what you have for EDC. I find 15l bullet is all most anyone needs for edc. I think the Kaidan is a better looking ruck. I’d personally choose it for that reason.
New to ruck. Wondering if simply throwing it in the washer is safe for keeping it from smelling. Or would it damage over time ?
Probably not a great idea on the regular. However, I might do it if my rock was particularly nasty. When I do wash them, I typically do it by hand with some dish soap and a brush.
You mentioned cleaning if you want to use a bag for multiple uses. Have you cleaned one of your bags before? Was it easy or a bit of a hassle?
I soaked it in the tub in hot water and then used a dish brush to scrub it with some dish soap. Tub was NASTY after. Not a too big of a hassle, but unload, wash, leave outside to dry… just takes time. Wouldn’t want to do it very often.
Check on Go Rucks you tube video on cleaning
Just curious if you still have the GR2 Java, and if so, would you be willing to sell? Name your price!
@@tmatt1980 I still have it. Not for sale. Sorry.
@@Rucking I understand. Thank you for the reply. Keep up the good work brother.
Hey, I hope it's ok to ask here. I'm new to this rucking concept but am wondering why people are choosing sacks over vests? Is it the added function of the sack? I'd be using this solely for the exercise, would you suggest a sack over a vest?
"Rucking" finds its roots in the military when soldiers load up their bags and move them from point A to B. So, "rucking" is generally done with a backpack (aka: ruck). That said, weight is weigh, so a vest can accomplish the same stimulus. The advantage of a ruck vs a vest is the ability to carry things like a water source, extra gear/snacks, and the bag can be used for other things besides rucking. A vest really only serves one purpose: add weight. I'd add that if you get the Rucker, the additional handles allow you add variety to your training by using the ruck for weighted exercises like you'd find on ruckwod.com - These would be difficult to do with only a vest. -- Hope that helps.
@@Rucking That helps enormously. Just ordered my first from Goruck. Much appreciated. Looking forward to more vids.
Ok is this a trick question?? You buy them all. N+1…
Clearly.
Serious question: Where do you store all your bags? I have packs everywhere and never found a convenient way to store for easy access

The 21L Heritage GR1 is a better EDC bag than the standard. The standard is too tactical for EDC.
Yeah, I couldn't take the time to break down all the variations at each level. I love my Heritage (th-cam.com/video/VvqHLpQXkSs/w-d-xo.html&t)! I also love my 15L Kaidan Bullet (th-cam.com/video/WHvKQzCs03A/w-d-xo.html&t).
I got the navy blue and think it really tones it down.
can you carry a ruck plate and laptop easily in any of these? I'm sort of confused by all the options and whether the laptop bags can do both at the same time or if the weight goes in the laptop space...
I wouldn’t. Odds of the weight plate crushing the computer is too high.
I need a bag that is both a backpack, but also use for rucking around college from class to class, what do you recommend?
Long Range Rucker could be a good solution.
Really sucks they can’t stock any other colors/sizes with regular consistency…
I’ve wanted a multicam 34L and 40L GR2 for ages and they’ve just never came around.
They also stopped selling their vietnam made rucks for whatever reason it appears. Super lame.
I'm sure the Vietnam offerings are all supply chain and COVID interruptions. That's just the life we're in right now. I'm sure they'd love to have stock in colors and sizes with consistency as well. But, yeah, it sucks.
Color - black vs Sand?
Between those two, I’d go black. Just a personal preference, as I’m not a Sand fan. Sand is too light for me. But, lots of people love it.
That said, When I’m trying to decide between colors, I usually pick non-black.
Just picked up a Rucker 25l
Nice. Let me know how you like it.
@@Rucking love it. I’ve rucked daily throughout the Chicago winter. GOruck isn’t cheap but he quality is second to none.
@@frankfixer5884 Nice! Lover to hear it.
Do gr1 21l heritages have 210d ?
No. The waxed canvas covers the whole bag.
I think it’s called use case and not case use bro. But awesome video.
Ha. Yeah, you’re right.
Which pack should you get? NONE OF THEM!! They all suck. Get a weight vest
Can’t pack hydration bladder, snack, or supplies in a weight vest. Also, can’t pack a weeks worth of clothes in a weight vest. Vests are great, but bags have their place too.
Oh please.
Old comment but this. They're not rucks despite the name, they're assault packs. They are NOT designed for long distances with a lot of weight like proper military rucks. They're designed for short jaunt building clears and medical.
very interesthing lxgo check thank you and blessings
Lxgo?
