Curious, whats everyone's edc backpack?

[Trav64]

Hi everyone,

New member here, didn't see a thread on here on this topic thought it might fun and interesting to see what y'all use for bugout/get home/edc packs.

[JRinFL]

I'm afraid I cannot help because if it doesn't fit in my cargo pockets, it doesn't get carried. Still, I like to see the gear others carry!

* For EDC that is. BOPs are different in my mind than EDC items.

Source Rider - cycling bladder holder, essentials storage, fits A4 format, travel backpack paired with checked baggage. The only downside is non padded back and straps.


Mystery Ranch ASAP - when i need to carry more/bigger stuff or travelling without luggage.

One of these two at the moment depending on where I'm going or what I'm taking.

-- Timbuk2 Classic Messenger (small)
-- Timbuk2 Division Deluxe Backpack







I used to carry more tactical oriented bags but have since moved to casual packs. For camping or bugout, different packs would be used entirely.

Usual load out would be:

Doubles as a day hike pack too.

Yep I'm in between tactical and casual for packs myself, dont want to draw too much attention, those look pretty nice, never heard of timbuk 2, are you pretty happy with them?

[The Deacon]

The only bags I EDC carry are Walmart 1 gallon twist tie bags for cleaning up after my little buddy. :D

Very nice, man you've got all the bases covered ha, I'm still trying to get a good kit for my truck and car, might have to steal some ideas.

Cant beat the classic draw string bag for light weight!

Yeah, I like them a lot. They are made in San Francisco and are very durable and well put together in general. I've had 3 products from them now, the other being an iPad type case and I have no regrets.

Tip: check out their "Garage" section, you can find big discounts on closeout models or last year's colors.

[ladybug93]

i usually go back and forth between a 5.11 moab 10 and a kelty redwing 32 depending on how much i need to carry and whether or not my camera is coming with me.

They both work great. I plan to buy another one of the smalls. They're quite durable but not too heavy. Lots of straps on the outside for carrying sleeping pads etc.

I find the smaller one to be the perfect size for EDC once a water bottle holder is added (Or you can use the stock hydration bladder compartment).
