I use a Tactical Tailor 3-Day Plus ruck for my primary BOB.

Over the years I've used:

* USGI Medium ALICE with Frame
* USGI Medium ALICE without Frame
* USGI MOLLE Ruck with ALICE Frame
* USGI MOLLE Assault Ruck
* USGI CFP-90
* Tactical Tailor MALICE Version 3
* Blackhawk Phoenix
* Blackhawk Force 5 - This is still my day-hike pack.
* Blackhawk SOF Ruck Kit
* Spec-Ops Recon Ultra
* London Bridge Recce with Frame Kit
* Others I can't remember because I'm operating on 3 hours of sleep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I settled on the TT 3Day Plus because of the size; construction; weight; comfort; and external pockets (I'm an organizational freak).

This is a graphic I created for use on another Survival forum, but I've also posted it here in another thread:


This is how I have my 72hr BOB arranged.


My biggest issue in deciding what ruck to use was: size (cubic inches) and external frame vs frameless.

I have WAY MORE GEAR than would fit in my BOB. A lot of the extraneous gear is more INCH than BOB...which is why I kept one of my TT MALICE ruck kits
