In The Bag

We went out to look for the most tactical, tough, and hackerish bag we could find for the @BsidesCHA Hacker Everyday Carry we could find. And we found it.

The 5.11 Tactical RUSH12™ BACKPACK

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • 16 individual compartments
  • Roomy main storage area
  • Hydration pocket

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Water-resistant 1050D nylon (MultiCam®: 1000D nylon)
  • Wrap-around MOLLE/5.11 SlickStick® web platform
  • Internal multi-slot admin compartment
  • Zippered fleece-lined eyewear pocket
  • Hook and loop nametape and flag patches
  • 18″ x 11″ x 6.5″ main compartment
  • 12” x 9” x 1.75” bottom front compartment
  • 17” x 11” 1.5 liter hydration pocket
  • 1476 cubic inch / 24 liter total capacity
  • Adjustable height sternum strap
  • Two external compression straps
  • Contoured yoke shoulder strap system
  • Self-repairing YKK® zippers
  • Glove-friendly pull tabs

 

So we have room for all of the #HEDC stuff plus room for more. The Rush12 is also expandable so it should be a bag you can carry for any occasion. 5.11 carries a lot of really useful MOLLE accessories. If you don’t know about the MOLLE system it allows you to expand and attach various other items using a system of straps, clips, and velcro. It also allows you to attach sheaths, bottles, kits, and holsters. Can you believe we are giving all of this away?

We also did a public service by removing this toxic item from the box. You can thank us later.

Leatherman ES4 for HEDC

Not TSA Approved

Even though this is not TSA approved it is a very nice addition to your everyday carry. It is the handiest electrical tool I could find. The wire strippers and cutters set it apart from most of the other pocket tools.

  • Spring-action Needlenose Pliers
  • Spring-action Wire Strippers (20GA, 18GA, 16GA, 14GA, & 12GA)
  • Spring-action Wire Cutters
  • Knife
  • Spring-action Scissors
  • Flat/Phillips Screwdriver
  • Bottle Opener
  • Wood/Metal File
  • Medium Screwdriver

It is a stylish blue too.

The most important point is that this is a part of the BSidesCHA Hacker Everyday Carry giveaway, #HEDC. Giveaway… So be sure to be there so you will have a chance to walk away with all the goodies.
