I'm also using Rush 12 as a EDC. I traded it some three years ago for mechanix gloves, beers and a zippo copy. It is fairly rugged, I think there is some good stitching. I'm not sure how it would fare in some prolonged combat scenario/patrol activity, but I'm fairly confident in it. It's a fucking backpack, you don't need gucci gear.
I'm now looking at
>>1096447 Cannae as well for some sc/out/ing. I don't like black backpack in nature.
