I own way too many bags and I enjoy rotating between them, so I’m trying to build a single contained EDC kit I can easily move from backpack to sling to shoulder bag without forgetting anything.

Goal:
- One compact transferable pouch
- Practical daily-use items only (not for the apocalypse)
- No tactical/prepper/survival loadout
- Optimized for low bulk, low weight and high utility
- Everything should fit in one small pouch except the tote and Heroclip

Current setup:

Pouch:
- Bellroy Tech Kit Compact

Inside:
- Olight I3T 2 EOS
- Victorinox Rambler
- Uni-ball Power Tank
- Rite in the Rain 3x5 notebook
- UGREEN Nexode 45W charger
- Short USB-C cable
- INIU 10,000 mAh power bank
- Hydro Seal blister bandages
- Lip balm
- Sanitizer wipes
- Microfibre cloth
- Tiny meds/bandage kit

Outside pouch:
- Heroclip Mini
- Packable tote

Main use case is normal everyday life/work/travel — not emergency or “what if” scenarios.

Anything obvious I’m missing, overbuilding, duplicating or carrying inefficiently?

So I was thinking about buying a Nutsac Double Admin pouch in Waxed Canvas but with all the Molle on the front and back, how are you supposed to periodically rewax it? Am I missing something? bad design? does it not need to be rewaxed? what's your view?

Looks like they only have the 10L Amor Gray variant left and they ended their free packable with a GR2 purchase promo. Does anyone know if this is an inventory issues, termination of the packable line or if a new version is incoming (since we just saw the rucker v5)?

I think the 39L Long Range Rucker gets overlooked as a travel bag.

My GR2 34L Cordura 1000d is my EDC bag for work.
My 39L LRR is my ruck everyday bag. I absolutely love it. Love the shape. Love the feel. Love the internal colour.

It is not just a big Rucker. It has the same listed outer dimensions as the GR2 40L, opens flat, has two main compartments and carries a lot like a GR2. The big difference is that it does not have the dedicated “bombproof” laptop compartment.

Instead, it has plate pockets.

For travel, that is more useful than people give it credit for. Take the plates out and the main plate pocket can work as a laptop or tablet slot. It is not the same as the GR2 laptop compartment, so I would use a sleeve and measure first. A 14-inch MacBook Pro should be fine. A 16-inch MacBook Pro is likely tight.

The tradeoff is simple:

If laptop protection is your top priority, the GR2 is the better bag.

If you want a GR2-sized bag that can also ruck, train, get wet, be rinsed out and still travel well, the 39L LRR is interesting.

It also comes with features people used to pay SCARS to add, including

• side handles
• a bottom handle
• drain holes

Those are not small things. The handles make the bag easier to grab from overhead bins, cars and hotel rooms. The drain holes make sense if the bag gets soaked, muddy or used for events.

SCARS customization also does not seem to be accepting new work right now, so having those features built in matters.

One note: my recent 39L did not come with a hip belt, so I would assume that is separate now.

I would not call the LRR a better GR2. I would call it the GR2’s gym-rat cousin.

For some people, that may actually be the better travel bag.

I’ve definitely reached the point where I own way too many bags (mostly Goruck). Right now, about 90% of my collection is 1000d Cordura because I love how they’re basically buy it for life gear that you can just wash off and forget about. The other 10% is Robic nylon for when I need to save on weight.

Lately I have been looking much closer at the waxed canvas stuff, but I am a little hesitant. I am used to the low maintenance of Cordura, so I am wondering if the upkeep is going to be a pain.

For those of you who use the waxed canvas versions every day, what has your experience been like? Do you find yourself having to reapply wax or moisturize the leather often?

I am also curious about the durability and weight. Do you notice the extra heaviness when you are carrying it around all day? Does it feel like it can take a beating, or do you end up babying it more than a standard ruck?

Just looking for some honest feedback before I pull the trigger. Thanks!
