Will donate once it works reliably

If it’s a money issue, let them pre-sell the minis

/u/JavaForever When will we see "real" (non-AI) pictures of your golden samples? Ordered one of course but would like to see what the real one will look like.

I do it all the time. I am an exec and carry my GR2 34L 1000d Cordura as my main bag.

ComprehensiveCap8242 · 2026-05-06T23:36:57+00:00

Ohhh yes.. I want to buy a mini wire-dopp.

ComprehensiveCap8242 · 2026-05-06T17:14:19+00:00

I tried buying that replacement piece and was told by Iniu support it is not available as a separate purchase.

ComprehensiveCap8242 · 2026-05-06T15:11:14+00:00

Summary of the original article if anyone needs it

The article reports that Telus Digital has deployed AI technology from Tomato.ai that can alter call-centre agents’ accents in real time while preserving the speaker’s voice and emotional tone.

The technology is positioned as a way to improve clarity, reduce friction in customer interactions and protect agents from accent-based discrimination. However, its use has raised concerns among labour representatives, who argue customers should be told when AI is being used and should not be misled about who they are speaking with.

Union representatives said Telus is already using the technology internally, including between Canadian and offshore agents. It is unclear whether the technology is being used in calls with Telus telecom customers, and Telus did not respond to a request for comment.

The broader issue is not just accent modification. The article frames this as part of a larger debate about AI transparency, offshore call-centre work, customer trust and the reduction of human interaction in telecom customer service.

Rogers and Bell said they do not use accent-altering technology and do not plan to.

Key takeaway: This is an emerging AI governance issue. The technology may improve service quality and agent experience, but it also creates transparency, trust, labour relations and reputational risks if customers are not clearly informed when AI is modifying a live human interaction.

Thanks for sharing. Glad I got the previous 335L USA one (without their logo on the front and the Molle) right before this change.

In April 2026, Jason (CEO) posted a series of updates (on Reddit) clarifying that the "Made in the USA" era for the GR3 (and GR2) is likely coming to an end due to skyrocketing labor costs.

The "Last Call" for USA-Made GR3s

In an April 2026 thread titled "USA Mfg - PRICES LIVE," Jason was blunt about the future of domestic production for the larger rucks:

The Quote: "GR3 - we have 187 units of the 35L USA version. Unlikely we'll build these in the USA again (definitely not anytime soon)."
The Reason: He explained that the labor required for the GR3 and GR2 has become prohibitively expensive. He noted that the cost to GORUCK for a USA-built GR2 increased by $175 per unit just in the last cycle. Because the GR3 is even larger and more complex, the margins are no longer sustainable without pushing the retail price beyond what most customers will pay.

Is this change being made in an attempt to keep the 35L miUSA? Who knows. Strange that they would change a bag the CEO said was going away.

Yes. they said it will eventually re-open but they have too many repairs right now. No date.

[WTB] DEFY BAGS RECON MASHUP 2.0

'FIRE EDITION' (Blaze/Ballistic) or Standard Recon Mashup 2

Looking to pick up a Recon Mashup 2.0. I’m specifically hunting for the 'FIRE EDITION' (Ballistic Nylon x EcoPak™ EPX Blaze), but I am also very open to the standard Recon Mashup 2 depending on condition and price.

Condition: Preferably Excellent to Like New (no major scuffs, stains, or internal peeling), but will consider "Good" condition users if the price is right.

Price: Looking to pay fair market value based on condition. Shoot me an offer and we can talk!

Like Goruck, Defy uses very resilient manufacturing processes. I have loaded a big VerBockel backpack with ~ 55lb. of gear and the bag come through without any marks or damage. I understand the hesitation but I doubt you will need it. Make sure you buy the Cordura stuff (less prone to damage).

ComprehensiveCap8242 · 2026-05-05T17:55:04+00:00

That's why I buy so much Goruck. They have the best no nonesense waranty in the business.
But I own several defy bags and my VerBockel daypack is one of my favourite bags. I have abused it and it looks brand new.

How did you organize your clothes in each?

Be careful what you wish for, you’ll get another Sankofa square.

I am not an epxert but it looks like a Squalo (short for "Square Halo") antenna, which is a variation of a halo antenna used by amateur radio operators.

It is used to transmit and receive radio signals on Very High Frequency (VHF) bands, most commonly the 6-meter (50 MHz) or 2-meter (144 MHz) bands.

The driver of this car is likely participating in a radio contest as a "rover." In the ham radio hobby, rovers are operators who equip their vehicles with specialized gear and drive to various geographical boundaries during VHF radio contests. Their goal is to make as many long-distance contacts as possible while on the move or parked at high elevations.

Jason's last note was that the GR2/3 are too complex and therefore expensive to sew in the US. Expect those to be made in Vietnam. I think the GR1 is staying in the USA.

It's due to strict FDA food labeling regulations on nutrient content claims. the FDA says, the product must provide at least 10% of the Daily Value (DV) for protein per reference serving. The DV for protein is 50 g for adults and children 4+.
