GORUCK GR2 34L Review: Gear Bag or Rucking Bag?

The GORUCK GR2 34L made carrying my drone kit easier. After about two weeks with it, here's why the extra compartment stood out—and what I noticed when I added a 20 lb plate for a trail outing. My written review and current options: https://ruckauthority.com/gear/goruck... Current GR2 34L options (affiliate link; I may earn a commission): https://ruckauthority.com/api/go?prod... GORUCK supplied this bag. They did not approve the video or tell me what to say. I used the black 34L GR2 at Round Lake with a 20 lb GORUCK plate, drone gear, water, first aid and bear spray. The plate, drone case and first aid went in the main compartment; the drone, controller and batteries went up front. I did not weigh the complete load. The organization worked well for my gear. For dedicated rucking, 34 liters is a lot of bag, and the open plate sleeve is less refined than the Rucker's. After about 90 minutes of nonstop use, I noticed a little lower-back numbness with this load and setup. I haven't verified a long-walk packing fix. This is my early-use review; a later ownership update will need more actual use. GR1 and GR2 are separate models. Check the current listing for size, color, origin and availability, and your airline's rules if you plan to use it as a carry-on.
