im on my 2nd one of these, first one lasted 10 years and I literally took it with me the world over, it was my EDC, camping and work bag. Only thing that broke was a front zipper which happened on an international flight from most likely baggage handlers and the shoulder strap wore out and became soft and loose just from so much use. Great pack. It weighs 2.4kg empty and has about a 55L total capacity. The side pockets will fit a 2L klean canteen in it with a 300mL cup on top. best pack, highly recommend it.
I'm a mortarman in the army and I had just purchased a rush72 before I went to the field. I carried a wet weather top, poncho, ASIP radio + batteries a bottom and top ocp, t shirt,socks, weapons cleaning kit, 2 mags, and some pogi bait. To top it off I was still able to fit 6x 60mm rounds on the pocket flap (idk what you call the folding pouch above the main utility pouch). I'm pretty sure my pack weighed atleast 60 to 70 pounds by then and I'm not even including the poles and what not, but overall I love this bag, it's design was perfect for my back despite the weight and the rugged construction made it withstand pta in the big island of Hawaii. The terrain there is just brutal with sharp lava rock that would rip your uniform off! It impressed me so much that I bought the rush24 pack! Anyway of u get this pack you definitely getting your money's worth SGT B.....
Nice video. To solve te problem on the shoulder discomfort the weight of the pack should rest on the hips, NOT the shoulders . To do that sit with the pack on and cinch the waist strap FIRST. The use the shoulder straps to pull the pack towards the body. That way the weigh of the pack rests on the hips, not the shoulders. Boy Scout 101

Pure genius bro!!
You should be making the videos
too bad boyscouts isn't a thing anymore, they used to teach useful skills for life
I'll give you a little tip on lessening the stress on you're shoulders, don't tighten the shoulder straps like Magilla The Gorilla, I had the same problem but soon realized that if I loosened them about 1" or 2 , the tension pretty much was gone, and had better mobility with my arms. when you do this you will feel the weight shift from you're shoulders to you're waist strap, and its much more comfortable. Thats one mistake I see with these video's, people think that the straps have to be as tight as possible, only the waist strap needs to be tight so this trick works.Then when you need them to be tightened for different terrain you can tighten them back, and when you get back to easy flat terrain you loosen them again. Try it and see how it works for you
Just received this pack today, what an amazing pack! This will fit everything I take with me and then some. I can't wait to put it to use. Great review as always guys, keep em coming. Be well & stay safe.
Excellent thorough review. Really gives the viewer a complete understanding of the features and the pros and cons. Nicely done.
This is probably the most in depth, (and therefore the best), review that I've ever seen. Thank you for an excellent video! I am now subscribed.
I've been using the backpack without knowing the stove thing for a year -.- maan! thank you! you've saved my life.
I had one of these years ago that I sold and now I want it back
1) I like that you have a camera person
2) you film outdoors
3) you are quick to explain and don't drone on and on.
4) I would like to have seen it fully packed as you would pack it. (or was it?)
Not an oversized bag, but looks to really hold quite a bit!
Would be nice for hip strap to velcro back as to not flop around.
What are the $600 packs you mentioned?
What is your favorite bag + vid link if you have it
Thanks for taking the time! Quality video, good camera work. I'll look for your vids describing what you pack (including the knife videos).
Thanks for the words Richard. For very pricey packs, check out Mystery Ranch, Kifaru. -Krik
BlackOwlOutdoors I'd like to second what Richard Getz said. Also, I'd like to know what your height & weight are for size context. I'm not sure you mentioned that in this video...
I've had this bag for over a year and use it every day... and i absolutely love it. Some say it is a little big but it fits everything from my 2 laptops and all my books plus a lunch and whatever else i might need for the day. I definately recommend this bag to anyone!!!
I have had this pack for about two years and can say I love it. I am a large person (2xl to 3xl) size and needed something for overnight trips, this pack did the trick. The only down size to me was that the bigger the bag the more you tend to stuff in it.
I needed a breakdown of the backpack since I took the rod out and needed to check how its placed.
But anyone wondering, this is a very very good backpack, I run to my gym every day for about 3 km daily not very far, but I do carry some stuff, I've went through so many backpacks.. this makes the load conform to your body and the belt and straps make it stable enough to run with weight safely. It's made to last in rough conditions and carry allot of weight
I take this everywhere it's one of my best purchases I have mine for about 4 years and going strong.
It's very spacious and durable. Lots lots of pockets.
I've had the 72, lasted me four years +, then I upgraded to the Rush 84 ALS. NO competition! I love them!!!
Great walk through of the bag. Really well done, thanks!
i really liked your review. just bought mine from amazon. really appreciate your personal insight and analysis. thanks brother.
Seth Eheart You're welcome.
Best review of this great pack yet. Kr
I just bought this bag and your video helped me figure everything out.
I own this pack and I have to say that the layout is really well thought out. It's a Tardis that you can just keep filling made from excellent materials, manufactured to a very high standard. However, at 5.8" and a medium build like yourself it is almost totally unusable for myself for more than about a mile even if lightly loaded due to the design of the shoulder straps (I have the newer model with thicker padding) and it just cuts and burns the top of my shoulders terribly. In my opinion 5.11 almost made one of the best packs ever and ended up making a storage box for my excess kit. Atb.
great review - very informative showing both pros and cons of the pack. regards
Great Video! I just ordered this bag today from 5.11 and super excited to receive it! I think the only thing i would have liked to see in this video that i saw in other videos (which is why i know about it), is those straps surrounding the front and side allow you to add smaller bags such as med kits, walkie talkie's, ect. I don't remember hearing you touching on the capability of being able to add more gear to this bag via attachments. Other then that, truly awesome video man, thanks!!
Excellent review. The reason why I just purchased one for multi use outdoors. Thank you!
Agree! I just bought one, yesterday. I plan on using my for everything, such as outdoor, travel, etc.
Thanks for sharing this video, very helpful and informative 👍🏽✌🏾
Great looking pack! Love the sandstone color
Great job thanks for reviewing the pack.
Excellent video review bro! Thank you!
appreciate your review man, keep it up and good luck
Thanks man great review. Very helpful.
Reason for the thinner waist straps, is if you're carrying a side arm , concealed or open carry , it's for quick release so it wont get caught on the bulkier padding
nice review. luv that color scheme!
you should have WAY MORE SUBS!!! just found you and i have been in this genre for years.
Thanks for the kind words. We have been steady growing since we started. -Krik
Great review, I have the bag myself (am in the military) but rarely use it. I am more of a simplistic kind of "bag man" lol and would constantly lose gear in the massive amounts of compartments! It is a good deployment bag or any long trip bag. It's built like a tank and weighs about the same to. I might pull it back out and give it a spin for a few weeks to re-evaluate it as my "POU" (or philosophy of use) as nut'nfancy would call it has and is ever evolving. I also have the Moab and the other larger sling bags by 5.11 and find them more user friendly as a daily driver. Only problem with them is the army does not allow you to cross sling a bag, either one strap on one side or two on either shoulder.
many thanks for the very precise review :D
Thank you..very helpful.
A few hours ago I bought it. (about 115 dollar)
very Strong backpack..
Just completed the Everest base camp trek with the pack easily the best one there.
Wow. 🙌
Hey guys, been tuning in for a while now and enjoy your video reviews very much. Just thought I'd say 'Hi' and thank you for your efforts. ATB, Dazza from UK.
Great vid as always guys. Use this location again for gear reviews because the contrast and shadows here are perfect and make for a really clear image. Looking forward to the next vid!
Great honest review. I'm liking mine. Pretty much everything you spoke of applies. I've only used as edc @ work and op shop (thrift shop) runs but so far very comfortable. Will have to go hiking soon to test properly. All my mates have smaller edc bags but I like bigger and don't mind the weight (man up ultralighters). Good to have options for extra carry & that middle open 'dump' pocket has actually proven a handy time saver. I hope the attachments are solid as admin pouch is dependant on 'em.
Thanks for the great review!
Got mine on sale for 90AUD a few weeks back an I love use it everyday for work it's carries great super comfortable an fits everything.
Great review! Totally going to steal that helmet idea :)
Fantastic video. Thank you, sir.
I have been a subscriber almost since your beginning, I really enjoy your videos and your knowledge of the outdoors. I hope you do open a store in the future, as a resident of the Northeast I can honestly say I will be a regular. Best of luck from one enthusiasts to another.
I have this bag and it makes for a great 72 hour bug out bag/get home bag. It comfortably holds 25-30lbs of gear, any more weight and it becomes very uncomfortable. I had used it to build an INCH bag when i first got into survival/bushcraft. First weekend out training with it i realized pretty quickly that it was too uncomfortable with 50lbs of gear in it. I quickly upgraded to the USMC ILBE main rucksack and never looked back. My Rush 72 is now a dedicated food bag, my wife's is now a dedicated medical bag. Anyone looking at this bag for a bug out bag, as long as you don't put too much weight in it, it's a great bag. If your loadout is over 25lbs, I'd suggest going with an actual framed backpack with load lifters, and really thick waist belt and shoulder straps. If you want the tactical look with MOLLE webbing and such, go with the USMC ILBE main rucksack or the FILBE main rucksack. You'll save yourself alot of time, money, and discomfort.
Great video. I liked a lot that you actually showed how the backpack looks when you wear it (most of the reviewers don't do this), so i get a great idea of how it would look on me (size-wise).
Can you tell me how much it weights? i want to buy it (i'm not from the US), but i have to pay by each pound
Thanks!
Got mine @ academy for 114. Clearance and 20% off but the clearance price was amazons base price but the 20% was nice. Can’t wait for it to get here.
Excellent review! Thank you very much. Just purchased the bag myself and am not disappointed, though I haven't field tested it yet. For Simon R - I can't find an indication of where it is manufactured, but 5.11 Tactical is out of California. Also the waist belt is not removable, but is sewn into the pack.
Love the Rush 72!
I need this pack I practically live out of backpack and even though it may cost a couple extra dollars for the longevity and the lifespan of this pack would by far outweigh the money that I would spend on it I definitely love this pack
Great review!
Nice touch with that bird screeching at the end of the video...Lol
Thank for video man!
Excellent review.
Excellent review
thanks for this review!
It's not my bag. It's Stony's. But I've used it in order to give a thoughtful review. -Krik
thanks noah. in the other 2 videos with the high contrast we were trying something new out. krik and i are no where near our potential and we strive to keep growing and doing different things. so bear with us while we figure things out. and thanks for coming with us on the journey. - stony
great review
Great review. I was wondering about that yoke system too seems to me that it could be uncomfortable over long distances. Beautiful area your in. Thanks.
I prefer my maxpedition Falcon II A couple of things I didn't like on that pack was the clip on for the chest it looks like it will snap off in a couple of months of hard use. and the waist belt is very thin. It looks like they skimped on the material for the waist belt. Great organization on that pack though A LOT of pockets and mesh zipped pockets that is a + for that pack. I loved the main compartment dam thing is GIGANTIC almost too big. Great video
Great awesome review, job well done on ur representation. hope thr paying u for this. I'm down to my selection of this Rush bag or the Sparrow 30L.
great video as always btw
I love my Rush 72, best in the world
Krik,Good video, I own one and you showed a couple of things I didn`t notice. One being the hydration tube provisions, I totally missed that. I`d have liked to have seen you actually hook up a bladder/bag internally and get your thoughts on that, I`ve got a hydro-pack I use when cycling and would like to see how that would work. Thanks for the info, keep up the good work!
No, it doesn't come with a bladder. Few manufacturers actually include reservoirs with some of their packs (Osprey and Camelbak do). Let me know what you think about the pack. -Krik
Excelent video !!
Great video, thank you.
I bought this pack for roughly $250. Retail it was over $300 for the camp.(which is what I have) the store manager felt bad because they didn't have any black ones which is $250 so he gave me the camo for the same price. I bought the bag mostly for everyday use. I work in demolition/construction. This bag gets the job done. The bag I used before this was a tiny little thing that I had since elementary school so it was money worth spent. I did buy it also for hiking/camping. Been using this bag for roughly a month now and I have no complaints. The only complaint I have it that it isn't large enough to take a few days camping. Unless I pack to much stuff.... Its only 40L so yea..... I was expecting 60l all is good though.
thanks for sharing those other brands, we are always searching for more gear. - stony
Mine is supposed to arrive today! I’ll have the 24 and 72!
Wish we had more reviewers like you in the community. +1 Subscribers.
Highly recommend anyone who owns a 5.11 rush pack, no matter what the size, to watch this video. My guess is that the reason they used a thinner hip belt was to make it easier to tuck it into the slots behind the back panel. I am a backpacker and live out of my truck for 3 months out of the year. I use the rush 24 for tools and I am looking at picking up a second larger rush pack to carry more tools.
Awesome Backpack!\m/
Good job on the video
Nice review.
I agree with your assessment. It's a good pack but there are many things that can be improved in the shoulder and hip belt straps, I agree! And they should use 500 D cordura for the outside pockets to reduce weight but keep the rest the same. And not use that cheap shiny nylon on the interior. The shoulder strap should be beefed up and removable and have the cinch system you describe.
Nice Review !!!!!
Your profile pic is AWESOME!
are the c clips on the sternum strap pretty sturdy? they stay on good?
Hello what kind of water bladder would you recommend for this pack I ordered one of amazon today but I don't think it will work properly with this bag.
I recently bought a LAPG ATLAS 72 hour pack that is, for the most part, a cheaper twin to this pack. I only use it for school at the moment, but I plan to use it for hiking after I graduate. Do you think you could do a review on it? I'd love to make a review on it myself, but between classes and summer externships, I don't see any time for me to spend on reviewing my pack. Thanks for your consideration!
Dam good job! I am not so much a fan as what people carry in their bag has I am to learn how many pockets and how the construction of the bag is thank you very much
Great vid, thanks.
Considering this pack as a BOB, wonder how it would go?
You're right, the larger the bag is, the more you feel inclined to put more things in it. Which isn't always a bad thing. Carrying extra gear can mean a more comfortable and extended outing. Just comes down to preference. Thanks for watching. -Krik
Pretty soon it's bigger and hold heavier than you can comfortably carry. Unless you're a Special Forces trooper used to carrying 65 pounds and then ruck march 20 miles, don't over load yourself then find out the hard way how much it hurts 5 miles down the road.
As of now, we are just gear enthusiasts. But, we've considered opening a store in the future. It's encouraging to know that folks would buy from us. -Krik
Video is of great help. Could you do one of the first tactical 1day/3day backpacks?
Hi, is the internal frame support on your pack (the flat bar) have a curve to it or is it straight? can you check for me?
I'm curious how wide is it when packed to capacity? Great video,thanks
Thank you for the video
hi i have been wondering about this bag and would like to know if you would recommend this instead of a single conpartment style bag for example berghaus military packs
Jeez….been fixated on all hazards prime due to the “stuff sack” setup where the admin pouch pulls away from main body for helmet/wet clothing…never realized this bag has been around for over 10yrs now. 5.11 is selling the rush 2.0 series now and on the 12,24,&72 2.0 rush series….they’ve added a “secret” Velcro closure ccw space full of “loop” material to attach a holster. And a padded laptop pocket. I love these bags mainly due to the materials.
i have the rush 72 and its' a pretty good pack. its' HUGE! sometimes i wonder if i should've gone with 24. my only complaint with it is that i chose multicam. i think i should've gone with tan or black. wish manufacturers made a carhartt brown version. the large side pockets are great! on one side i have the COMPLETE BCB Crusader cup and bottle set. it is a fine pack.
Hey guys, watched almost all of your videos now and may i congratulate you guys on the amazing job you are doing! I really enjoy the videos, they seem so clean and fresh. In all honesty, if you started your own shop and would ship yo the u.k, i would definately buy from you. Keep it up stony and krik!! Always looking forward to the next videos, they cant come soon enough - ryan
I'm buying this bag soon
Can you use the small pack inside the side pocket as a water bottle holder? So you don't have to open and close the zipper each time you wanna have a drink of water?
Thanks for the Hi, and thank you for watching our videos. Hi in return. -Krik
Great videos on backpacks. My only advice would be to put your height in the description of these vids. I'm 6'3 and have no idea how to determine whether the waist belt will work for me based on your size in the vids. Everything else is 100%
Justin Uriah Yea I do that in videos now. I'm 5'9'' and 165 pounds. Thanks for watching man.
Perfect! Thank you. I will remember that going forward. Thanks for all you do.
Sorry for reviving an old comment but I'm like a little bit under 5'8" will the waist strap work for me
Also I noticed there's a "hump" where the shoulder straps attach on the top. Does that part bother the back of your neck at all?
5.11 products are the best!
your video is crystal clear and i like it..One thing that i dont like is that u dont have much in the pack.
