I have a military rucksack for camping and heavy use. Will these be strong enough? will they take a beating?

I use them for my dogs' collars and they hold up well for that but if you are carrying more than 60 lbs I wouldn't recommend it. I think it could with stain anything under 60.

looking at the dimensions, yes they will. But keep in mind, these are light duty panniers, not meant for heavy duty work. I purchased these for a friend who is homeless and he still has them, they're fine. I personally have a bike loaded down with 80lbs of gear which these would likely not be good for. I have Jannd Panniers, which are several times more expensive. For light duty work loads, however, these will do just great.

Yes, they are quite strong, I use them to hold out going mail, stacks of Trucker Permits, Purse, I even bought some ans sent them to my children.

While I'm not looking to weight it till it bends, it's surprisingly robust. I have a sleeping bag on mine. I'd say it could handle any cloth based material. The metal is pretty thick. It's at least 2-3x stronger than I expected. Very impressed.

They should be strong enough, I have never had a problem with any of the Grabit products. I have used it to pull out stripped bolts off my old motorcycle.

Id have to ask what kind of moisture conditions you are subjecting them to. They are pretty stoudtly built . If you are talking about work out conditions , then yes , they hold up well

It probably would, but I'm not sure I'd risk it. I only use these myself for camping to hold about 25-30 pounds worth of stuff off the ground. If I were you, I'd probably get pro-quality carabiners, rated for very high weights, that are used for climbing. They're a lot more expensive, but I figure a 50lb projector is very, very expensive.

The ones I received are very tough. They are more like a "freezer" strength bag rather than the flimsy sandwich or regular type ziploc bag. I use them for delicate supplements when traveling but have used them for many other items including jewelry.

YES. They're strong enough. I agree with you James. They really don't look up to the job. I've had & used mine now for over a year and I love them. They're TOTALLY reliable. Do yourself a favor James. These will work. At about $ 8.00 a pack - for me that's right on the cusp "acceptable risk" (a little more money than I'd casually risk.) That said - I'm telling you James - they will exceed your expectations. They're dynamite. Get them! You'll be glad you did! If possible, keep me posted. Best of luck! :-)

Not to my knowledge, they seemed sturdy for the outdoors or air soft, but are fare from Military issue, great price though..!

I have had this pack for a while it's pretty tough. I use it for camping, mtb, and anything. So far not a single rip or tare. If this bag ever fails I will buy another the next day.

Seem to be very strong, however I always use a tether to my helmet strap "just in case". I use them on my whitewater kayaking helmet and have not it fail yet. This includes capsizing and rolling up in my kayak

They are fairly tough. I have 4 in an overnight comfort/survival sling pack that is strapped to each of out ATV's Last year I wrecked on an ATV and cracked some ribs. It was very hot that day here in Okla. My two sons got the machine off of me. The pack was under the machine. Bags did not bust open. I think you will be fine with packing them in home made MRE.. Good idea by the way. Wouldn't hurt to make one up then throw it around some and see how they hold up.

Should just fine! I'd say add padding to keep it from rattling. Or pack more gear. Cloth cover (sock!) at least + gear.

I have found them to be quite sturdy. They're mostly plastic, but it's thick and tough. The headband has metal in it, and when you move it up or down a notch you get a satisfying 'thunk' each time. Even after hauling them across the country several times in my backpack (without carrying sack), I've had no issues.

Very well made. Id say they could withstand a small rock, depending on how much force was behind it. I have them on a golf cart which has had some rough terrain go under it.

The poles are made to be flexible to deal with wind force. I do not think they are strong enough to handle the weight of a tarp. Perhaps if the tarp was light.
