I’m so glad you made this. Thank you so much!!! No one has videos for this. I want this for EDC and rucking cause a laptop will fit in the 45# plate pocket. It’s also nice for a Dad bag. I’ll probably spend the money to have molle on the side with handles from scars.
You know that’s a great question. I didn’t have a chance to try that out. I’m out adventuring this weekend but I’ll try that out next week and reply back.
Thank you for the reviews you do. If you see this, I’m only about 5 feet tall, mostly legs, would you recommend this pack? I haven’t rucked since my time in the army with the old Alice and I’m excited to drop my weight vest and get started.
Wendy, did you buy a ruck bag yet? I have a compact 20L Rucker 4.0 that I purchased a couple of months ago that I’m going to put up on eBay. It’s lightly used and is probably a better fit for people under 5’5”. I prefer the feel of the Bullet Ruck, so I’m selling the compact Rucker.
Thanks for this. I am starting out and was thinking of this bag vs Rucker 4.0. Is there any reason I would need the extra handles on the larger bag for my workouts? I see people doing all sorts of things with their ruck and don’t want to limit my options. Thanks so much!
The Bullet Rucker is a great place to start. You’ll be just fine without the side handles. The only thing you’re really missing is the ability to use a waist belt. Otherwise it perfect for getting in miles and most workouts.
Hi JB. If choosing between a 20L Rucker and the 15L Bullet Rucker, which would you choose? I'm roughly 6' 220 lb, and looking to use it purely for fitness (no events) in addition to a 21L GR1 for EDC. Thanks!
So I would pick the 20L for the straps. Way wider and more comfortable. Only negative is the pocket only takes up to the 30lb plate. The 15L Bullet Rucker can go big and accepts the 45lb plate but those straps make it uncomfortable
Hey boss, I have a (dumb) question. I'm wanting to get into rucking - so I want the option for many different weight plates. This bag looks awesome, as I love the 15L footprint, and can rock many different plates - and its on sale to boot! But dang, velcro just isn't my thing. Did they make a previous version of the Bullet Rucker that has zippers? Or is it time to embrace the suck of velcro and focus on rucking? lol
Hey Luke! This Bullet Rucker is a great place to start. They didn't make a version prior to this so you won't be able to find a zippered version. If you look at the Laptop Bullet you could fit plates in that one and get the zippers. You just can't fit the 45lb plate in it. Which is actually too much weight for this size bag anyway in my opinion.
@@JBOutside1 Given that my main use case will be rucking and less EDC, is it nicer having a dedicated compartment for a plate. Or does it carry well in the laptop compartment? And hey, thanks for your help!
@@JBOutside1 And maybe the question to rule them all. I recently picked up the Cardiology x Mystery Ranch Spartonolgy. I saw you used a 30lb plate in it. Seeing that I'm under 150lbs, I'd be using a 20lb plate. Do you think the Mystery Ranch bag would suffice for an intro into rucking? Or would you be concerned with the strain a plate might have on the laptop compartment?
@@ldc89 If just rucking a dedicated plate would be best as it totally secures the plate. The Spartan holds it but long-term I think it will destroy the pocket.
Hehe...i wish he'd actually stuffed a 45lbs ruck plate into the pack. Hard to believe it'll fit...🤣😈🙈 (Seriously, thx - this reassured me and i have the 45lbs plate in my sights now).
They really make it clearer for every product lineup now, a Rucker is no longer best suitable for EDC anymore with removal of zippers inside out.
Agree

That’s a good idea. This bag is “almost” perfect
@@JBOutside1 I’ve already used my LR 33L like this. Like others I wish the zippers and front pocket stayed.

Interested in this. Thanks for the great review. I’m looking for a dedicated ruck for a 20lb plate. This seems perfect!
Yep. It’ll work perfect with room to grow!
they should put a couple molle lines on the plate pocket
Agree totally
Thanks JB. Will this hold/secure an older-style (long) ruck plate?
You know that’s a great question. I didn’t have a chance to try that out. I’m out adventuring this weekend but I’ll try that out next week and reply back.
Ruckerized. Love it. If they’d put the zippers back inside I’d be all over that bag. Love the regular Bullet 15
Totally agree. Had they just added the plate to the Bullet it would be a slam dunk
Thank you for the reviews you do. If you see this, I’m only about 5 feet tall, mostly legs, would you recommend this pack? I haven’t rucked since my time in the army with the old Alice and I’m excited to drop my weight vest and get started.
This would be a bit tall if I had to guess. I "small frame" rucker might fit better.

Do you think you can use the bullet Rucker for a goruck tough event?
Possible? Yes. Preferred? No. Full-sized Rucker for the wider straps would be preferred

@@JBOutside1 I’m clicking the buy button right now. See you outside!
@@jackbenvent4515 👊🏻
I recall seeing this on their site and not I can’t find it- is that just me or did they take the product down?
It’s just out of stock currently
The top face of the regular bullet looks more tapered. Bullet rucker looks more squared off at the top. Am i seeing things?
You’re correct. It’s that frame sheet inside that makes it hold its shape. They’re actually the same.

@@JBOutside1 thanks for the quick reply. Now you’ve got me debating between the 20 and 25L…
@@Kdub780 haha, at your height the 25L should work. I can use the 25L at 5’9” but it’s just a tiny bit tall for me. It works though.
@@Kdub780 and it has a much better plate pocket
@@JBOutside1 sounds good. Thank you sir.
Is that a Journey patch?
Haha, sort of. It’s Journey themed. It says “Don’t Stop Rucking”

Never mind saw you just said you wouldn't use it for a tough event
👊🏻
Why are these so expensive if they are made in Vietnam out of regular Cordura 1000d? Am I missing something?
Quality made, Scars Guarantee. I haven't been disappointed with anything they've made.
EVERGOODS CPL looking better than Goruck. I know Goruck is more tacktical backpack, but shape CPL is amazing.
Gotcha. I love my Phoenix!
