Mine has come with me every single day for 5 years. It’s been dropped, soaked, covered in ashes from a fire, left on a NYC subway and it’s still performs like new.

I took some ideas for my own EDC, but if you want some advice: I used to carry a lot of stuff in my Maxpedition Falcon, it used to be stuffed. Now I carry only the stuff I need on a regular basis or at least once a month. All the other stuff I think I need, like WD40, tools and stuff I keep in my car. If you try to put different lines of gear (for example on body, bag, car, home) you will use the stuff more often and it will literally take weight off your shoulders. Thanks for the video ;)

I have no issue with redundancy but if you had a leatherman a SAK and your good fix blade all those little trinket knives could save heaps of weight do you not carry water?

That whip is awesome! I like this loadout too. Lots of function without it looking like you're headed to a deployment. I just got my first Rush12 2.0 this week as part of an extensive search for the perfect EDC. Beyond being a solid bag, the aesthetics are so darn good. It's just a great bag to look at. I cannot believe how much stuff you have in this bag. I looked away from a few minutes, came back, and realized you were still unloading it. Like Mary Poppins purse.

Just got this bag and needed a place to start to see what I could do with it, this video was great thank you sir 🙏🏼

Great video, really enjoyed watching it.

Very Nice edc pack. Your itens are Very awesome. Hugs from Brazil

Thank you for sharing your EDC with us

Thanks Jeff for the helpful tips!! I have alot of ideas now!!

Loved this video. I ordered 90% of what you recommended 👏🏻

You made a very helpful & pleasant instructional vid. Thank you. Please make more on prepping & EDC. I have been searching for a replacement backpack for a long time. This vid sold me on it. I have also recently become a proud Maxpedition owner. Pricey, but great quality. Zippers are big sellers. Go Ykk. Thanks again.

You pack way more than i would ever need, but definitely took away some great ideas. But then again, you live in SD...Thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks for sharing

The rush12 is 24l and not 37l as you mention according to other sources online

I love my rush 12, Ive had it forever and it has held up nicely. And ive put it through hell. Best investment over all the bags that Ive researched. You get the best for your buck on these. Its not too small or too large but a perfect size. Get one in your hands people!

Great video - redundancy is an understatement. I will legit get my hands on one-for-one of your list, I will probably reduce the number of items due to weight, reduce the number of knives, reduce the amount of tape, etc. Great list, 100% on how well that bag handles weight, I am going to grab the newer rev of the Rush bag (I have two of that first generation one for the Jeep and one for the Boat).

Good to see another South Dakotan in a video!

I absolutely love this EC bag, do you carry this every day I was just wondering

That first flashlight you showed was awsome i want one

keep up the great video's

I have a small fire kit in mine, lighter. Fire steel. Dryer lint. Matches. Waterproof matches. Vasolene soaked corton balls. Some saw dust. A few small sticks. Candle. Wetfire tinder cubes. I made it after i had to start a fire in the rain, realizing that i didnt have enough and everything was wet plus the wind i made that kit. Also i see you had a poncho i have a colman rain jacket in mine its a little more durable. Also maby add a stainless steel single wall water canteen you can boil in and some katadyne water purification tablets. Only go single wall the double wall can explode, youll thanks me later lol. Nice video, i look forward to seeing more.

My first choice but personally i wish the admin interior layout was more like a condor venture , good vid. :)

Amazing sir

and awesome shirt too

Thank you for the wonderful Video. You presented with a great, positive attitude. I can tell you enjoy being prepared. And, I think you probably want your tools to be available for you, and others that you care about. Nice. May I suggest that you review your redundancy. Again, not judging, but I noticed you've got nine knives in your backpack. Most of them are not accessible quickly, and are small enough to be dangerous to use. When I was taking security training, the trainer said, "The best guy is the one with only one gun that's worn out, but he knows how to use it." I'm thinking that that philosophy might be of value here. Maybe one or two knives that will cover everything. Consider Victorinox to replace most of those screwdrivers along with your Leatherman. Maybe try taking Everything out of the backpack, and putting it all in one big plastic bag. Then, reach in there every time you need something. How many times do you pull out the same tool for multiple jobs? Is it just that one knife that is easy to find, and use? Having everything dumped in one big plastic bag would also give you an idea of just how much you really are carrying around. I wonder if there are some multi use tools that would gane you some room in the backpack. I'd love to know what your thoughts on this are. Thanks.

0:20 ... Opps... *KZfaqr Error* ... : The 511 _Rush 12 is _*_NOT_*_ 37 liters size_ ..... The 511 Rush 12 is *24 liters* . The 511 *Rush 24* is *37 liters* The 511 *Rush 72* is *55 liters* 3:59...😎👍I've never seen this on a Bug Out Bag before...very smart. 9:35...😎👍Another interesting Item , not seen in any BOB's ...It is good if you live in the city with elevators. 14:39...😎👍 Excellent item there..not many think about Clothing Cleanliness on a GOD Mission. (Get Outta Danger) *************************** Fantastic Job with Your Organizational Management SKills..Love the Gear kits. With my Kits, I color coordinate my zipper pulls .... ex : *Fire Kit* = Orange zipper cord (inner pocket of main compartment) *First Aid* = Red zipper cord and red cross patch (inner pocket of main compartment) *Food / snack kit* = patch of cookie monster , zipper pull is Yellow (main compartment) *Navigation kit* = Green zipper pull (Water bladder compartment in back) *Clothing kit* = larger bag w/ Brown zipper pull (main compartment) *Electronics kit* = Blue zipper pull (admin pouch) *Pens, field notebook, rulers* etc = (admin pouch organizer) *Water & Beverage kit* = is in a side molle Maxpedition water bottle pouch with water filter and tea bags, honey, 3in1 coffee packets etc. ******************************** 😂👍 You only have *6 Maxpedition* small organizing bags..LMAO 😂👍

Very helpful, thank you!

good video thanks!

A notable absence from the "never know..." list: *condoms* Provide your own punchline.

That was a awesome video. I have the same bag and it’s stuffed full of gear, almost everything you have , but the stinger whip . Maybe a little extra stuff. Why don’t you make anymore videos, your doing great . It takes time to get subscribers. I subscribed, hope you make some more ,, good job 👍

My wife has Dooney and Bourke. Me I gotta Rush 511-12. Just checking out this vid to get some ideas. Thanks!

Nice.

I like your impeccable approach to preparedness, cannot fault you there. This is, however, in my opinion too much to carry around in my EDC. Too many bits and bobs that do the same job - it's a tad anxiety-inducing watching you unpack it all tbh. Having said that, I agree it's all personal choice and I am glad it works for you. I need tech necessities, medical, basic personal hygiene, multitool, knife, light and waterproof jacket. The rest of the gear is in my vehicle no more than a 2 min sprint from me at all times. Weight and minimalism is a big factor for me.

Pretty cool. I definitely don't have this much stuff, but I think this is more about what you think you may need. Half my bag is socks 😂 - I'm half joking. Great video for ideas on what to bring, that's for sure.

I saw the "Real Tree" shirt and tought it was another guy that doesnt know what he is talking about but I was wrong. Your kit is well made and the only thing I would add would be a Silky folding saw since I have very bad experiences with those wire saws.

I need that whip

Rush 12 is 24L

please be gentle with zippers of the bag, no matter how much durable they are, the bag is like representing your home Good video and great gear for an edc, keep it up

I love 5.11 Rush series and Maxpedition. But it seems too heavy

I had fun making this video if any of you have comments for me please leave them below 😎

I'm really perplexed about the use case of this kind of bag, when there's no room to actually carry anything. Looks like you're equipped to go hiking, but without room for change clothing, water or food. My idea of EDC is a bag you literally take with you when you leave the house. For work, library or store. So very different use case that you have going on here 😅 My EDC needs are phone, wallet, keys, light, some bike tools and what not. But it still must function as a bag, so there must be room to take change clothing to work or some groceries from the store.

Hi, Nice video ! Please may I have a link for the quick torch it's very nice ? Thx

Mikee I have a lot of both brands

Niiice! :)

Hello I just order Rush 12 today. My laptop is: 356 x 251 x 16.9 mm (not included shock case but it will be a little bit bigger than the laptop, not too much. Will my Laptop fit the Main Compartment and also with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi, laptop charger and some personal stuff? This is my first time buy a Rush backpack. I only use it for dailyl work and training BJJ, not travel. Thank you guys!

Hello, in mine, I don't have all this things...but I have a bottle of fresh water 🍸🍾😁

Did u add an extra compartment in the main area? It looks like you have an extra compartment in the main area…

Bro you might have a gadget addiction! I follow the 5C's from Pathfinder School, might check into his system to address needs for EDC, might balance out your load, so what's all those gadgets weigh?

Have you considered adding a water bottle of some sort?

You actually use all of this stuff at least once a month?

mind if i ask where did you get those little labelled keychains?

I cannot find that knot instructions molle insert on countycomm’s site😞

Your EDC bag should be named Iddy Biddy never when you will need bag

Can you tell me the name and where did you get the salt and pepper containers? Thanks

Are your bag zippers hard to open? You jank on them like 4 times each!

I don't know where you live but that stinger whip thing is likely not legal in California. Your thoughts?

What's the weight of the loaded bag ? Thanks 😊

...the 12 does not have side pockets like the 24?

hello I would like to buy exactly the same bag but I only find fabric models of this brand. where did you buy yours? thank you in advance

that's a lot of stuff😶

Sir how many litter it is 21 or 24

🇧🇷🤝👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

No tooth brush or tooth paste or dental floss which has many use.🤔

No spare socks and underwear ,shirt

Way to much to edc… carry only the daily stuff on my body the rest in a backpack in my vehicle

EDC? 🤦
