FACT: This bag offers the best bang for your buck. To be honest this bag has been on my radar for a few years and after reading and watching many reviews for the 72hr get home bag I decided to pull the trigger, it also helped that it was on sale. You cant beat the the value to quality ratio for the price. I've tried assembling many bags with only spending more time and money, something i don't think anyone wants to do. Aside form all the resources this bag offers (which is a plethora), it allows for more room to add your own personal touch items. You WILL NOT be disappointing with this bag, period. If i'm being nit-picky (which is why im giving four stars) i was short changed a couple pens that should have been included in the smaller pouch and it would have been nice to include an actual hard copy manifest of all the items in the bag, for personal records. But, all in all a very solid bag. - DS
