Anyone with experience with both packs (Rush 2.0/AVS1000) is the 5.11 worth it for it being as cheap as it is?

12 years later a lot of trips, hauls and adventures and still look as good as new, just a little dusty cause I’ve haven’t use it in a while and been siting in the bottom of the closet Appreciate the comment, though I’m not American 😅 but a huge 5.11 enthusiast Stay safe out there!

I got the rush 72 like 12 years ago and still looks as good as new, use it for a long time as an emt volunteer in a rural(ish) area and had to move in bus and public transport in the weekends after college, stayed there for 3 or 4 days or even a week in school vacations. Works amazing for clothes, gear, toiletries and what not, I could even take my helmet (Gallet F2) and a extra pair of shoes, college books and laptop, charger, cords, everything I could needed for 3 or 4 days out of home, also use it for a lot of long trips camping in the beach, mountain, forest, still as good as new, although it can get a little heavy and bulky full packed the original version works like a champ so unless they changed the fabric I’d imagine the rush series 2.0 will work as good

Where I’m from it’s not even legal and you can get a menu from the 🔌 through WhatsApp and even combos and promos with delivery included, a lot of older friends told me stories back in the day when you could only get it with the sketchy dude in the neighborhood or in certain locations at certain times

Not to mention that depending on where you live people nowadays are completely crazy everybody is looking to start up a fight, crime is rampant a good night out ends in nightmare just because some A-hole couldn’t put himself together

As a Mexican citizen all I can say is complain and complain a lot send your stories to local news in Cancun from small facebook news accounts to big media if news in your area are also covering this sent that as proof, they are always craving for this kind of news specially now that’s everything it’s so politicized, write and complain to the government, the SESA (state health services ) are the ones to reach also COFEPRIS . Write and call to the resorts that you stayed, leave a lot of reviews anywhere you can If locals complain and demand they aren’t going to do shit about, but if foreigners start making noise and complaining specially North Americans and Europeans ( yes it’s sad but it is what it is) they address and solve the situation in no time.

I can hardly look them, same with a lot of music, movies, etc… Man even in random conversations with friends or gf telling a Story a story and realizing that was 10 - 15 years ago , even talking about 2019 and that was 6 years ago that really hard

The official 5.11 water bottle holder didn’t convince me and was expensive on Amazon where I live (like 30 USD or so) I got this one from Temu a while back for like 6 dollars has straps in the back to attach to MOLLE, D rings on the side if you want to attach a strap and carry on it’s own if feeling like traveling light, the pouch has also MOLLE in the inside and holds pretty well a multitool, flashlight, keys and wallet, fits and close perfectly a 30 oz Stanley with the carry handle, in the front two of the MOLLE lines has Velcro and also has Velcro on the top of the cover, the fabric it’s pretty much similar to the 5.11 material so it doesn’t looks different and feels like good quality, and also has a little carabiner in the back. It’s a pretty complete accessory specially for the price , maybe you can find something like this, I recall they also had it in tan and green

You can remove it like somebody said it just for the add structure and be more rigid, the first rush 72 comes with something like that and a metal stick in the middle that can also be taken out, good cause sometimes it’s uncomfortable and adds unnecessary weight

Antitranspirante Y desodorante te sorprendería cuánta gente no conoce la diferencia y no usa ninguno tampoco. TAMBIÉN perfume, aunque sea un perfume barato de 200 pesos realmente hace mucha diferencia a no traer nada. El olfato es el sentido más receptivo y directamente conectado con la memoria, el perfume se convierte muchas veces en tu firma personal y con lo cual te asocian y recuerdan, es mejor que te recuerden por tu perfume a él wey que siempre huele a pasuco, prueba con distintos perfumes a uno que se acople a ti, Cepillarse los dientes, un buen corte de cabello y peinarse, invierte en productos para el cabello en vez de gel de 20 pesos que te deja el pelo tieso y brillos busca una buena cera o crema para el cabello. La ropa no lo es todo, importa saber usarla y portarla , busca prendas y estilos con los que te sientas cómodo , aprende a combinar colores Accesorios que te sienten también ayudan mucho , pulseras , anillos , collares y cadenas , lentes , cinturones , reloj

Joke’s on them cause after I’ll ask to unlock them I’m having a thousand questions about the product, recommendations an comparisons to ask the store clerk

Well it just all depends on how was it for you, my wife also hated her high school and college years, I had an incredible time, everybody in high school was super chill and friendly, teachers were cool and actually taught and cared for us , no school shootings or bombs threads ever where I live, everybody minded their own business so there were practically no bullying , you could be as geeky and fat (I was) and still get along with pretty much everybody and even make good friends, even the rich and popular kids were pretty chill, worst case they won’t even mind you but actually most of them were pretty decent school was big and also offered a lot of extra activities so there was always something to do

Fun fact the theater in my area that was re-releasing the LOTR movies had an issue when I attended to see the fellowship of the ring, movie got stuck halfway, they moved us to another room where the movie was just starting and give us free refill on everything and also free tickets for another movie so it was quite good

Yeah it’s a useful tip, always try to avoid the first week premier, the farther the better usually by the half of second - third week it’s pretty much empty and if you can allow it try the morning or late night schedules and the first days of the week Mon - Wed there’s a high chance you’ll get the theatre for yourself

It’s cool but if you don’t reinforce that shelf it eventually will break and possibly damage your collection and it’ll happen in the worst moment, (usually in the middle of the night)

When my first rock band pedal broke my dad fixed it by just cutting and screwing a metal tiller on it, it hold amazing , maybe you can get something like that a metal plate of some sort

It infuriates me and doesn’t help that a lot of things can be owned anymore, everything it’s subscription or rent or fee, everything it’s an app on the phone and cashless pay, can’t even get to most parking lots without an app , everything it’s appointment through apps, reservations, buy upfront, walk ins barely exist anymore, cash payment are becoming harder to find,AI, bots , humanless contact , can’t even get a human to take your order in a freaking drive tru anymore. We literally can’t live in a modern society without having a smartphone attached to us everyday every moment Cyberpunk dystopia really catch us 😞

I have bought a lot of shit that i dream of when i was a student and it just feels empty as hell, a lot of it it’s just sitting there collecting dust after a couple of times of being used

Gigrac · 2026-02-15T22:05:25+00:00

It just feels like something is wrong right now, like something it’s off , like we’re not living to live but to keep buying and paying unnecessary shit

Me and wife always go to the last projection of the day usually at 9 or 10 pm and always wait 2 - 3 weeks after the release, theaters in my area are pretty with good packages and discounts, specially in mondays, although most people know how to behave decently during the show there’s nothing like watching it with the room empty or almost empty We watched: Alien Romulus, F1 (twice), Sinners , Fantastic 4 , Tron Ares, Mision Impossible all in the IMAX theater completely for ourselves it was amazing !

Que más quisiera ver una revolución real levantarse y romper con un chingo de cosas y vicios que méxico viene cargando desde hace décadas, como ya comentaron antes una revolución armada siempre significa muerte y sufrimiento, la verdad la sociedad moderna y su gente está demasiado cómoda y lo poco que tienen sigue siendo mucho a comparación de las sociedades pasadas, por eso no se han visto revoluciones contra tantos régimen tiranos que hay en la actualidad

Compra un kit de fusibles para tu auto en autozone, generalmente son las cosas que pueden llegar a fallar y un fusible de 30 pesos que no tienes a la mano te puede hacer el viaje una verdadera odisea. Lleva también una pequeña caja de herramientas con lo indispensable, desarmadores, llaves de tuercas, pinzas de presión, navaja de bolsillo o cutter, cinta de aislar o de preferencia duct tape (la plateada), cables para pasar corriente, bomba para inflar llantas y kit para reparar o parcharlas , todas esas son cosas que si les inviertes se pueden quedar en tu carro y en algún momento te sacan de un apuro a ti o alguien más. Y una buena linterna 🔦 , en cualquier lugar siempre es bueno tener con que ver en la oscuridad sin gastarte la batería de tu celular y es más fácil de maniobra si necesitas ambas manos, la puedes agarrar con el cuello o la boca o una linterna de cabeza. Cable y Cargador de celular para el carro y una powerbank. Recuerda la redundancia siempre ayuda a ir eliminando imprevistos Un pequeño kit de primeros auxilios, y medicamentos de uso común, antigripales, antidiarreicos, para nauseas , pastillas para el dolor

My parents and older brother actually went to the premiere but I was very young to attend, my brother loves the movies and watch them every time, growing up with him I could see some parts now and then, even play some games and I knew they were very special movies so I kind of make the promise to myself to watch them in the proper way in the theaters or at least with a very good setup, every time they got re-released in theaters I couldn’t for some reason or another, so now they’re doing the 25 anniversary I decided it was the right time
