I was inspired by the carry setup thread, and in a quick search I couldn't find anything that wasn't already long dead. I've never been much of an EDC pack kind of person, but more and more I'm thinking that it's a good idea to have. I think this would be a cool thread to keep alive for product feedback, EDC pack outs and of course cool pics. I feel like when I start, I'm going to end up throwing the kitchen sink at it, and have a stuffed pack. Hopefully over time, we can all help each other build out efficient and effective setups.
I've been doing some research and there are a lot of "Not paid for" ads on the Vertx bags such as the Gamut and the Ready Pack 2.0. They seem like pretty good bags and reasonably priced. I like that they are not necessarily "tactical", but do have the options for bullet proof plates and CCW. I do not intend to rely on the bag for CCW, that will remain on my person, but I like the option.
I've also read some really great stuff on GoRuck bags, in particular the GR1 and GR2. They are significantly more pricey, but hand made in the US with a lifetime repair warranty. All the bags look pretty tactical, which I also like, but for EDC maybe I'd like to be more incognito. Also, there doesn't appear to be accommodations for CCW, in the event a backpack is just more suitable. I think that I am leaning toward this because: America, and I think the bag dimensions are a little more conducive to EDC.
What say you!?
Thanks!
