Loadout: Urban Work Pack

We're asking all our readers to show us the content of their packs. Here's a great submission from avid reader Kyle.

My name is Kyle, I work as an IT technician for a Corporation that sells hard to find and old times products as well as local Vermont food/products. My everyday carry/work pack is the Goruck GR1. It is so far the best urban work pack I have been able to find so far, and I own quite a few packs. I’m very impressed with the build quality, the fit, and its ability to comfortably hold everything in a relatively low profile pack, hugging close to the body.
