I've had one for about a year and used it pretty much daily, albeit not in the role you envisage. Mine has been used as an Daily carry and travel bag bag, but I haven't looked after it and it's held up well and still looks good. You'll have no problems carrying the stuff you list with room to spare and the padded compartment has accommodated and protected both my iPad and my 13" MacBook nicely. It's well-made too. Perhaps not MaxP or Kifaru quality, but you aren't paying their kind of money for it either. Certainly better than Snugpak quality and Chinese knock-offs.
I think it's remarkable value for the price and I have had lots of Kifaru, MaxP, Mystery Ranch, Karrimor and Berghaus kit over the years, so I'd like to think my opinion is informed.
If you want any pics or more details, drop me a PM.
Star Wars DVDs in a bug out bag, seriously? If you have to 'bug out' then you need to have the Lord of the Rings box set, not Star Wars.
I noticed a helikon wombat in the trades section about 10 mins ago...

Ta for the reply, sounds like the bags are good in use, and a bit extra room to spare would also be handy as occasionaly a thin insulator goes in too. Do the molle straps catch at all on anything as you're toting the bag ? that's the only real drawback I can see in it at the moment ?
Also are the zips as heavy duty as they look ? I can't stand flimsy zips as a f*cked zip usually kaputts the bag / sack. Nice to know it has a padded compartment too, always come in handy for something or other
Cheers, Sp
With regards to the OP, where are you bugging out from? Perhaps having a bag that didn't look like it contained all your cool survival stuff might be worth thinking about?
I just picked up my first ever Maxpedition bag last week, I can see that it could be a slippery slope, very tough, very well made and thought out bags and pouches.
Additionally, Star Wars DVDs in a bug out bag, seriously? If you have to 'bug out' then you need to have the Lord of the Rings box set, not Star Wars.
Try the knock off maxpedition sabercat from china. They may need a few new stitches after a while but they are just as good and only 1/4 the price.
Find the shop called airsoftfighting on ebay.
Tax...... I have never had to pay tax from china before?????
