i will post a review when it gets here, had to get it to go with my new striders :D also any one know what movie it was in??
 
Looking forward to the review. I was looking to get one too, a little further down the line. Have no clue as to the movie.... wait..... wait.... Transformers. :D
 
I know it was just mentioned in the thread with Mercop's BOE. That's how I heard about it.
 
Looking forward to your review. I have been using mine for a month or two now.

Would you recommend it? I've been on the fence but will most likely eventually get it.

I have one and wholeheartedly would reccomend it. I don't mean to hijack the thread by anymeans but I'll post some pics shortly if you'd like.
 
Here's the short review I posted in the "bag of evil" thread over at prac tac.

This is my BOB, gym bag, and general go to bag now. I think its perfect as its designed to be between the seats of a car, is narrow enough to be stowed underseats or stuffed in an odd part of the trunk, and has 3 great outside pouches, one internal slot (I use it for rope even though its for a bladder), 2 hidden pockets, and 4 areas for attaching pouches with the MOLLE/SPEAR/MALICE/STRIKE system.
Colorwise depends on your location and intended use. I went with the multicam just to see what it was all about, I hate ACU, ACUPAT, or whatever you want to call it, and I have too much OD to be quite honest. I'd have preffered a "Flat Dark Earth" but nothing is perfect.
I reccomend OPTactical too btw.

And now the pics!



Hidden pockets (on both sides)








Bottom handle held in place with velcro so it isn't snagged by anything inadvertently.

I'll let tgiannes take over from here.
 
I definitely will be getting one when I can afford it. Thanks for sharing and for the link. :thumbup:

Check in at Wilderness & Survival Skills for suggestions, since it would make an ideal BOB. Along with being a large empty space for shopping. :)

Since it's better to keep weight low, use the bottom outer pocket for survival/med/toolkit that might sit there until an emergency.

Use the middle pocket for food & drink you might want to carry, especially on a longer ride. Toss a few plastic bags in there to wrap anything that might leak or sweat, like drinks.

The top pocket could be car stuff: maps, a GPS, compass, ice scraper.
 
What color did you go with? I'm thinking of getting a MOLLE Nalgene pouch to put my Gatorade in so it frees up some more room on the inside. When I use it for the gym it has: 1 large Gatorade (4 servings), shorts, 2 t-shirts, socks,and running shoes in the interior. Top pouch has granola/protien bars and shakes. Second has hat and gloves. Last has any random stuff (bandaids, little SAK, etc)

If I put Gatorade in the same compartment as my shoes, I'd have fermented Gatorade to drink. :p

Why do I have a mental picture of Esav stuffing a newly found 20-yr old "bride" into this bag from a "shopping trip" during a EOTWAWKI scenario?? :p
 
No way. When the end of the world comes, I'm hiding in my cave until it starts up again. With internet access. I am too old for sweaty 20 year old brides.
