Man Purse vs. backpack debate

[ldp4570]

Maxpedition Jumbo, and their large backpack, both used as bug-out bags.

I use a Maxpedition Jumbo as my active shooter bag, but it stays in my crusier unless needed. I can't imagine a backpack would work at all for that intended purpose.

I use a cheap bag from LAPG to haul stuff to and from work.

I have an SIS Spartan bag for 2-3 day trips.

Messenger style bags provide quick access while backpacks provide the ability to carry more weight for longer periods of time. Use the right one for the job.

If you are using it every day to carry all your crap then it's a man purse and that's ok. People will make fun of you and call you ghay, but you should not let that bother you. Remember, sticks and stones may break your bones, but a man purse makes you ghay.... I think it goes something like that.

I still think something like the Sitka by Maxpedition makes more sense than a conventional backpack. I don't wear it everyday. But I will take it to the range to carry stuff, or on a day hike, or something like that. Not me, but this is the pack I'm talking about:

2 straps are much more comfortable than 1 unless the load is very light or you are just carrying your stuff from the car into work.
