Would this be a good choice to attach to a bugout bag rather than using the carry strap?

I personally prefer the carry strap but with a little ingenuity you can attach it to most anything.

It will attach to anything MOLLE compatible but you can keep the strap as well in the event you need to ditch the bag And whatever you are carrying doesn't have a sling of you want to keep it protected. Good example is a shotgun with a side saddle that isn't your primary. Can easily carry the shotgun in this (Normal scabbard doesn't fit with a side saddle) and have your primary on a sling.

Hello, You can attach the Scabbard to any molle ready surface, so if your bug out bag has the molle space necessary fro the scabbard then that is definitely an option.

Adds a lot of weight with my AR so I took it off my bag and just carry it. But if you decide you don't mind the weight, I recommend getting a pack of the large speed clips to attach it. Better than using the molle straps provided

I tried to attach it to my Condor three day assault bag but the my gun (AK-47) was to heavy and made it awkward. So I added two butler creek straps and use it just to transport my gun to and from the range.

For me it carries a choice of 3 weapons very comfortably and with good balance. I'd prefer the carry strap. If attached to anything else, it would be awkward to deploy quickly.

I asked my husband whom i bought this for and he said probably not because it would be too big.

If your bag has any d-rings or other type of connectors around the shoulder straps of your pack -- I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Before I found those straps, I used some nylon paracord or 550 cord to tie it to my pack. It looked tacky but it worked. BTW, have you tried here? http://www.procameragear.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/1_25They have all kinds of connectors that you can mix and match to make it work. Good luck!

Yes. It only attaches with velcro. And by the way, my bag ripped at the top seam less than two months after using. I wouldn't buy it if I were you.Clint Engel

There is a loop/handle on it that I attach to my pack with a carabiner. I don't know that I'd try to hang it on my belt, it doesn't have a way to attach to a belt securely. It will flop around.

Caitlin, it would be best to carry in hand. The straps are not long enough to carry like a tote comfortably.

If you had some MOLLE straps or something that'd probably work fine, but the clip isn't bulletproof if it doesn't have much to grip on. I'd probably use a zip tie to make sure it was really secure. I've never had a better light though, and the clips aren't much different on anything else I've had. It comes with a smaller ring for mounting, you might be able to adapt that for your backpack.

That may be a question you would have to ask the manufacturer. I can say that I use this strap on a range bag, carrying ammo and it is more than sufficient. I have about 60lbs of ammo in it and it handles that fine. This strap is definitely built to be more durable and last longer than any other strap I've found.

I don't think it would be a big problem if you were to keep it strapped to the top of a rucksack. Maybe to your wrist?? It's built fairly rugged so it might do OK? I can't make any promise's if you really knock it around. As long as you keep it strapped to something that can align with the satellite's and the unit doesn't flop around too much you should be good. That's all I can give you, you have to decide what "flop around" might be in your judgement. If you think it's out of bounds, it probably is. Good luck.

No problem. It is a great piece. We don't use a safety strap. We feel the chances of zipper are so small it isn't warranted.

I wouldn't use it for that. I think it would move around quite a bit. Great bag, but more for hiking not running

I would say no. Great bag, but not designed for long distances or heavy loads.

Yes, that is one of the best things about it. I carry it by the loop all the time, and I have attached it to a backpack with a carabiner as well.

It will attach to a degree that the pistol will be secure from loss, and allow a proper presentation, but not as rock solid as if it use Molle webbing. The hanger on the bottom of the holster allows you to get creative and increase the stability of the holster. A little shock cord in conjunction with the old school mounting system can make it into a very solid rig. I have a Diamond D Guides Choice holster for my Bear country hiking revolver, but the M12 will work for just about any other task. The flap makes it a bit slow for defending against things that may eat/kill you, but ideal if you need a secure and protective mode to carry your pistol. And the holster is very durable!!

Personally I think this is a perfect product for that! Unlike neck straps that dangle in front of you the Joby Sling Strap can be fastened snugly against the body and rotated towards your back giving you more freedom to move/climb without the worry of knocking your camera/lens against something in front of you. That's assuming your not doing crazy climbs in that case you probably would be better off with some kind of padding. I have the Low Pro Sling Backpack that is great for extra protection & easy/quick camera access.

I would say so. My wife uses this one (I use the deluxe) and places all the gear you mention in addition to her BCD, boots, and spare mask. We only use a 3 mm suit though. I do the same in my bag.

I wouldn't put anything that requires stability. When I carried my kayak on it, it wouldn't really work well without a strap from the front and the rear of the kayak. A cargo carrier seems like a dangerous proposition with this carrier and I would highly advise against it.This is mostly designed to keep a solid object from damaging your car, not truly securing something.

After I looked up the meaning of a bug out bag, I would say no. I think you would want more pockets. I was using this bag for trail work and it was just fine for that. I could carry a saw and loppers on the side using a chain saw protectors as pockets and a lot of small tools inside. If you do a search on the internet using "bug out bags" you will find a lot of good information.
