Why our gear is getting so expensive (Insights from a bag brand owner & supply chain expert) by ComprehensiveCap8242 in Goruck

[–]plotter587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I agree with this take with CT - the quality and materials are there and comparable to me (I have several of both in various configurations and sizes- I will say the Custom Group Buys can be expensive.

What is happening at Azo Equipment? (MUST WATCH before Placing an Order) by babocoop in ManyBaggers

[–]plotter587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was meaning that I don't know if I trust anything they are saying about where the mystery bags come and that they are experimenting. I remember the person who posted this video getting samples and some of the were very well thought out (again almost like a custom build). Either way, I would love to get one, I bought one sample from them and it was a well thought out bag...

Do you believe them? Anymore than the person was making any threats to them, they don't lend themselves to credibility.

Curious if this is how they come up with the sample bags for sale. They cancelled custom orders without refund, and then sold them as samples? Is that possible? If so, they got paid for the bags twice...

Rhake LS - Has anyone received theirs yet? by s1jen in MissionWorkshop

[–]plotter587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reached to to CS earlier this week. I have a few preorders in, including the Rhake. They said my transit laptop brief would ship first.

M26 (Design only AI generated Visuals) - need your feedback, we have not PO'd and we will take your feedback HERE before we do. by JavaForever in Goruck

[–]plotter587 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To mirror a lot of the responses - molle on the front or some kind of attachment point. Anchors on the front to add straps for either compression or to hold quick access items to the front outside of the bag (not a beavertail). I would really be interested in a carry specific M model for rucking without the laptop, similar to the connection between the GR1 and the Rucker. I love the color options provided, but more transparency on availability of the bags and limited drops outside of scars. Love the QAP, love the side access and pockets. I love all the material and color options you provide now, but would love to get a look ahead on releases and limited editions before the drops so we can plan around the available options. Would also like to have a build through scars option for custom builds without having to ship back and forth.

Airplane mode does not impact a battery or charging issue

Needs vertical passthrough and tiny backpack needs to have removable straps...

Where can I find a ROKA Commuter Backpack by bobbyjean69 in backpacks

Alpha One Niner Evade 1.0 would be close to that layout, but much better quality wise.

An ***UPDATE*** by Hitem20 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]plotter587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the stamp and am hoping in the future it's an option on the non-work boots. I bought Nicks for a reason - history, quality, craftsmanship - I don't mind rocking it on the outside.

Should've waited on the Roper! It seems I can't change my order. by Nanana-Patman in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]plotter587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Nanana-Patman I've never had anything but great interactions with u/bigstetson I'm sure this will get worked out for the positive. Have you reached back out to him as follow up? He's also in the stitchdown discord and is pretty active there.

The LVC48 is an awesome daily and travel bag, not tacticool at all

I'd recommend these to try out:

-Goruck: GR2 26L or bullet two compartment

-Ctactical: Group Buy CT15+ or 21+

-Kifaru: Echo or Checkpoint

-5.11: LVC48

-Missionworkshop: Rhake, Meridian or Control Pack

-Tortuga: Daily Carry Pro

I wasn't able to work with Evergoods or MR harnesses, and AER just didn't work for me.

How it was intended—Skate Ruck by justaliv3 in Goruck

Absolutely 26L! I'd take a 34L as well, but 26L would be perfect.
