I’ve had my GR1 for almost 2 years. This is the first time I used it for a weekend trip in Vegas as a carry on for the flight. My fiancé was impressed how I conveniently fit a packing cube of all my clothes with a toiletry bag and his mom couldn’t believed it was everything I was bringing (plus a purse as my personal item). Most successful minimal packing I’ve had! I will admit it’s not ideal for always carrying around comfortably as my back aches when having it on for too long. Otherwise nicely designed with structure and best if you’re directly dropping it off at your place of stay.

I love this video! Love how you fit all the stuff in 21l gr1 !21l is the best !

Wait. You brought a roku with you?? omg that's pretty brilliant! I had no idea you could even do that. TVs are not my area of expertise, so is it pretty simple to just hook it up? Your video was super helpful! Thanks! 😊

Nice video! I use my GR1 26l and pack it with at most 10% left of space. No shoes, but I bring my Fuji camera gear with me. Works perfectly.

Awesome video! Love the bag!

Hey guys! Wanted to get a video out for you guys this week before I left so I apologize if this video seems a little unpolished. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy!

I has a collar so "fancy shirt" lol j/k good vid. Thanks. Big GORUCK fan.

The back stash pocket would have been a great place to keep your dress shirt

Great video! I am digging the tea pot on your desk. Are you into Gongfu Cha as well?

Nice, I just got a CHZ22 because of your reviews. Could you have fit all that into your CHZ22? p.s. Morino wool stuff varies madly, some excellent, some rubbish. I have an old Nike wool running top I love.

Very nice load out. I didn't catch the edc pocket with the multitool

Please update your trip status later along with Merino wool clothes. I am curious and will be waiting for your update. Any suggestions on which type of clothing is preferred if I am planning for a one week trip. And also I would like to know how to maintain hygiene related things including clothes that we would carry, body, hair etc. Btw, very nice video. I am from India and looking for a week trip. It would be nice if your video helps me out in planning. Cheers!!

How did you like carrying your field pouch on the outside?

What’s the pouch for your knife, pen, light?

That’s a lot of stuff for a weekend 😅

ummm... how did that work out for you? Also, I had a few questions that I am confused by: Why didn't you just put the hoodie in the car like you did the shoes? Or just hang up your nice pants and shirt up on a coat hanger freeing up space in the GRI? Then you could have used the goruck packing cube, the tube packing cube from eagle creek and placed the field pocket back to the inside of the gr1 allowing you to keep the sleek look. If you needed exterior space, you could attach the goruck water bottle pouches, that would have held your water bottle freeing up inside space. I simply do not understand the motivation behind this. Were you attempting to walk from your car to your hotel room without being seen carrying anything else but the gr1? If so, why... I understand if you were going camping or something, but it appears you are going out of your way to make this difficult for some reason? I use the gr1 for fishing trips and camping and it is fulfilling being able to carry a weekend worth of items to survive with, but if I am driving to a hotel room, I am personally not opposed to taking an extra trip to the car to move my stuff. Help me out here, lol. What am I missing?

Great content however background music is too loud :)
