I previously purchased a 5.11 Rush 12 bag as my day hiking pack, but have had my eyes on the Rush 72 for some time as my permanent bug out bag. I keep one bag always loaded with necessities if I have to grab and go in a hurry, and the Rush 72 does it all. There is so much room in this bag, and I like that it can be laid flat and the main compartment unzips all the way around and can be opened completely to front-load. This makes it so easy to stock up this bag tightly and not have to dig through from the top of the bag just to find one item. Not only is it roomy, but it wears very comfortably with the wide molle-equipped waist belt, taking the load of your gear off of your shoulders and onto your waist where it belongs.
The durability of this pack is really a huge selling point, and a testament to all 5.11 product's quality. This pack is flawless and so tough. While it may be heavier than some other 3 day packs, that's because it's built of the best nylon I've ever had on any gear. No frays, no missed stitches, and it's tough enough to throw off a cliff and not take damage. I expect to get at least 10 years out of this pack with hard use before I should need to replace it.
Compartment features: one large main compartment, one big front compartment (with organization and inner zippered and non-zippered compartments) that has straps holding it against the main compartment for expansion, 2 large vertical side compartments, and a separate compartment on the back for holding a large hydration bladder. That front compartment has a gap between itself and the main large compartment, but the nylon straps on the side of it can be slightly loosened and allow you to put an item such as an Army shovel or a small camping pad in it vertically for easy access.
It is now stocked with my bug out supplies. It currently comfortably holds my 3 liter Camelback, small one man tent, small inflatable camp pad, my full cook set and 8oz fuel can, chow set, 7 days worth of dehydrated food, 2 blocks of Datrex calorie bars, my Katadyn water filter, 100' of paracord, full trauma/first aid kit, hatchet, patrol poncho, 8x6' tarp, multitool, and 2 48oz Nalgenes in the side pockets. Add a few other small items in the outer pouch such as waterproof matches, large knife, caribiners, etc. and it still has room left for a single change of clothes. If I packed it even tighter, I could fit about 10% more gear in this pack.
I love this pack, and my Rush 12. I'm covered for all of my on-foot outdoor gear hauling needs.

GREAT
I looked at a lot of other products before deciding on this one, and I am so glad I did! This thing is great! More pockets than I would know what to do with! I saw no defects in the stitching or elsewhere. Heavy duty material that should last a very long time! The shoulder straps are padded very well. And MOLLE everywhere! I wont have any trouble adding extras to this bag at all. I especially like the split bag design that allows you to put things between them. I'll be using that for my hammock and rain tarp.] It also has 4 loops underneath and on top that are perfect for strapping a sleeping pad or sleeping bag. It has a place to put a hydration pack and allows the tube to be mounted to either shoulder strap as well. I wish I had ordered this sooner. I should be receiving the 5.11 MOAB 10 and tier system tomorrow. I can't wait! This will be perfect for deployments and camping. I plan on adding a first aid kit, and other things as well.
