Echo-Sigma Get Home Pack

[dawg]

I'm looking for a get home backpack - not a Bug Out Bag. I saw and really like this one, but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with one...

I definitely want a backpack, not a shoulder strap bag and am not worried about a military/civilian look of the pack.

Why not just order one of the ones in the link? The price really sounds good.

It's tempting to just get it, but I'm still young and broke enough to fight off the impulse buy urges. Was hoping someone had some experience with one. I'm open to recommendations on other packs too.

Here's what the Echo Sigma pack can hold. (I'm not buying the full version, it's pricey and I'd rather create my own.)

My GHB is a different name brand but it looks like about the same bag. Some good advice on a bag is to stay away from plastic zippers and check the stitching before you buy it. My bag is constantly being changed

That one does look similar, is it this one?

Also, I gotta ask what that green tube is? It doesn't look like a knife, so I assume it's some cool gadget similar to links you usually post!

I found a video review from a guy that the Echo Sigma bag is a Condor Compact Assault Pack.

Anyone have experience with this pack or the Condor brand?

And that Smith-Wesson similar as this too http://www.walmart.com/ip/Allen-Lit...bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&findingMethod=p13n

I guess they make on the same factory and put on different brand....

Condor bags are ok. The zippers suck and will break.
You are going to want about 1.5L / mile of distance you have to walk. That being said i wouldnt go with anything over 1500 cubic inches or 25L. If you go bigger you will end up putting "junk" into you pack because you have the space. I personally would go with something that has hip straps and a water bladder holder
