If you don't mind sharing, can you shoot me a pm after it lands of how much you get nailed on tax/fees? It's the only thing putting me off.

nothing. he lives in the UK and the bag comes from Germany.
you should have that item send to someone within the EU and then forwarded and declared as a lower value (at least that is what I would do).
-
The bag comes from Montana in the USA Simon, that's where Goruck are based.
No worries man, I'll drop you a PM when it arrives.

You are gonna love it. The build quality is tremendous. I have a GR1 and I see a GR2 in my future great products!!!
-
Good news - My GR1 arrived today, and it is totally fucking badass, the greatest ruck I have ever owned/ seen/ handled.
Bad news - I'm already fiending for a GR2
-
Plenty of pics are coming, it's travelling to Jakarta with me on Friday
And only mail because I know my local Fedex man, he lives on the next street

if anyone travels alot i seriously recommend the Rimowa line of bags.
they're expensive as shit, but they have a liftime warranty I believe.
I have a friend who has a luggage store, so I do some work for him, and I have the top of the line plastic one, I wish I had gotten the one with the metal corners, but whatever, if I break another one of these (I cracked one already after a year of travel but they replaced it without question) I'll go for the metal cornered bag. It keeps shirts folded in the lock down system, it is light, the wheels roll like none other, and in the USA nobody else has them so it's easy to find your bag on the claim!
I travel all the time, and after using Patagonia bags for a decade I'm happy I made the switch! Patagonia bags are great too, and they don't ask any questions about replacing them either.
I'm working to get a Rimowa Camera bag collaboration going on, I hope to get the aluminum one made into my camera bag free of charge! we'll see if that happens hahah.
-
The Rimowa bags look nice, but I've got an aversion to luggage with wheels on it.
I'd be more inclined to get something like the Hard Graft Carry On.
Another carry on bag which looks fantastic is the De Bruir Parachuter.
-
I just get annoyed by wheel bags when people drag them around railway stations or airports. And I think that something like a backpack is actually easier to walk any sort of distance with.
What I'd really like is a Bole Crown Prince rucksack. Unfortunately I've got a feeling that they're around 20K Kronor, or $3000…

I have to shoot some pics this week but I tend to go between a Filson medium field bag, a TADgear Dispatch or Lightspeed, and a Kifaru E&E. I really like the looks of that De Bruir parachuter but it's a bit pricey for me right now. When I go traveling I usually carry either a Zero Halliburton wheeled case or a J Peterman Gladstone made by Mulholland Brothers like this one:

I'm all about the goruck bags but not into the price atm. Maybe one day.
In the meantime what tactical backpack should I get?
Really thinking about the 5.11 Tactical Rush 12 or 24. I like that you can fit a computer in the zippered water bladder area on the back.
I need to carry a 15in MacBook Pro, DSLR, a couple lenses, flash, etc. would prefer black and that it have the Molle system.
-
i have been using a mystery ranch for the past couple years and I love it. No molle system (or much of it) but I personally prefer no molle on my bags, since im not military or trying to play one. I love the Gorucks also, but they are severely over priced in my opinion. TAD Gears are cool, but they have straps all over the place and my limited experience is that keeping track of them is a job in of itself. And they are never in stock.
-
On the Goruck debate, my GR1 is probably the last ruck I will ever buy (I know thats a cliche), if that knowledge is worth the asking price, then Goruck products are worth what they are asking for them.
