   First off, let’s deal with the elephant in the room – this bag is tiny. I mean, almost comically tiny. I’m about 6’1″ and 220 lbs, and this is almost like a clown accoutrement. However, that being said, it’s just about right for what I needed. I wanted something for my bugout bag that wasn’t 10 times too big. Now, my bugout bag doesn’t have to last me three days in the mountains of Afghanistan, or conceal an M4 Carbine and 20 magazines of ammunition – it’s just a few basic essentials that I might need if I ever found myself in a situation where I was on my own to get somewhere safe. It’s kind of a Micro-BOB, if you will.And for that, this bag is perfect. I was a little worried what I was going to get for the price. I’ve got some Maxpedition and 5.11 products, and I have to say, they may cost 5 times what this bag did, but they’re in no way 5 times better. This is an impressive little pack for the twenty bux it cost me. It seems heavy duty, well made, with good stitching and a lot of nice pockets and pouches. Zippers work smoothly, and there’s plenty of adjustability in the straps.No, it’s probably never going to have a military NSN number, and you won’t see U.S. Navy SEALS carrying this on covert ops, but it’s a well made pack with a lot of useful potential. I’ll certainly be looking at Red Rock’s products again in the future.After putting things together, here’s a list of everything that’s crammed into this versatile little pack:Sawyer soft-pack first aid kitBuck 5-1/2″ fixed-blade knife50 ft of paracordGerber folding sawPair of Mechanix Fast-Fit glovesChemical Light-StickPair of Bandage ScissorsBic Lighter3 Esbit solid fuel cubesPotable Aqua water purifier tablets, with a bottle of neutralizer2 LightLoad compressed towelsSilva compassWhistleLeatherman “Crunch” toolSmall tube of sunscreenSmall can of DEET insect repellentStarflash signal mirrorSmall roll of Gorilla duct tape1/2 roll of toilet paper, mashed flatSmall knife sharpenerRite-in-the-Rain penMylar emergency sleeping bagCotton bandanna1-liter bottle of Dasani waterLED Flashlight2 pr Vinyl glovesAnd yes, all that fit in this little pack! It’s “packed” – but it fit!

   I do use my new back pack when I go to a park, but I wanted to do a different review, based on a tactical compact backpack that I could comfortably carry while on a plane trip to an international destination.So I decided to pack this bag with all of the stuff that I will want to take with me in a plane during an international flight. I am against a carryon (the bulkiness of it and the fact that one of my hands is not free while carrying or dragging the bag), and the fighting for a 1”square inch of space in the overhead bin, worst come to worst, if there is no space, I can always store it under the plane seat. The rest of the stuff will go inside of the check luggage.Listed are all the items that I was able to fit inside, and that can legally be transported inside a plane as per the latest TSA rules. (So that means, no liquids, no pocket knives, no arms, no aerosol, no lighter, etc)1) 10” C100 Asus Chrome book, with a flexible neoprene case2) 1 Smartphone 5.5” SIM free main phone3) 1 Smartphone 4.5” SIM free old spare phone /or for local prepaid SIM4) 2 Chargers one for the Chrome book, a single one for the phones5) 1 cargo short, 1 polo shirt, underwear, and socks6) Aspirins and some meds7) Tooth brush8) Documents/passport and my wallet with more than 1 credit card9) 1 international multi power adapter /travel10) 1 beanie and 1 Baseball cap11) Sony travel headphones noise cancelling12) 1 medium size bottle of water (Which you can buy after passing security, inside of the terminal)13) 2 pens14) 2 set of eyeglasses (sun and clear )15) Inflatable travel neck pillow16) 1 little pocket LED flashlight17) 1 battery operated compact electric shaver18) If it’s not winter, then a spring jacket (even if traveling to the tropics) that I can hold/ tie it to the outside of the backpack.The tactical traveling means that I assume that for some extraordinary reason, I may be landing in a different airport, and I may have to spend the night in a hotel without my luggage, or that because of a moron or just turbulence a drink has spilled over me. This has happen to me before, and it’s not a matter of bad luck, it’s just that the more that I travel, the more I am exposed to a change of plans.All of the items packed are the minimum that I need, based on proven experience.Now, what it made me love this backpack for traveling was the fact that in seconds I can move it from my back to the front of my chest without ever removing it, that was a top notch feature for me, the fact that I can move it to the front of my chest, means easy accessibility to the contents, keeping an eye on it so a pickpocket dude does not steal my stuff while walking, going inside of a taxi or a bus without having to remove the backpack, no lost / forgotten bag on a counter or vehicle.Having a cross shoulder strap means that the pack will never slide from my shoulders, and my hands are totally free, because I do not have to be holding a strap to keep it secure to my body.Note: If you have your hands free, there is less chance that someone will come to bother you in someway.The wide strap was a beauty; I had never carried a bag in such a comfortable way.Thick material, the pickpocket dude will not be able to slash it easily and without me noticing it.(Some of these comments are based on personal experience or the ones that I have heard from fellow travelers)I hope that you like the review, and that it will be helpful for your next trip. If you have questions or comments let me know.

   Every Day Carrier
   Die Tasche wurde schnell geliefert (wie von Tomahawk Tactical Supply Find gewohnt).Sie ist absolut alltagstauglich und wird von mir wirklich jeden Tag genutzt. Die gute Verarbeitung lässt auf eine lange Lebensdauer hoffen. In ihren Zalreichen Fächern bekomme ich alles unter was ich so benötige. Dabei ist es egal ob ich in der Stadt unterwegs bin, oder mich im Gelände bewege. Vom DIN A5 Block für Notizen, Taschenmesser, Smartphone/Kamera, Minikocher, Feuerzeug, Kugelschreiber, etwas Schur, Pflaster, (Sonnen)Brille über Papiere/Geldbörse ist alles möglich. Natürlich auch noch viele andere Dine (je nachdem wo man unterwegs ist). Das Molle-System bietet die Möglichkeit noch weitere Taschen anzubringen, um das Packvolumen zu erhöhen.Kurz gesagt, sehr gute Verarbeitung, günstig und vielseitig anwendbar. TOP PRODUKT.
