We’ll be discussing tactical backpacks and lunch bags today. We will be looking at what they are, how they work, and why you would want one.
What is a tactical bag?
There is no official definition of a tactical bag. However, when people talk about them they are generally referring to either backpacks or lunch boxes similar to military issue bags.
Tactical bags are strong, lightweight, and are designed to carry a lot in an organized manner.
This last feature can benefit users from all walks of life, not just military personnel. In his book, Atomic Habits, James Clear says that one of the keys to being productive is to avoid decision fatigue. The less mundane choices we have to make, the more productive we can be. Having a well-organized bag or lunch box can cut down on a huge amount of the daily, mundane choices we have to make.
As we mentioned above, there are two main types of tactical bags: (1) tactical lunch bags, and (2) tactical backpacks.
Tactical Lunch Bags
Whilst the concept of a ‘tactical lunch bag’ might seem a little ridiculous on the surface, anyone with a travel-heavy job will argue differently. For soldiers, park rangers, or even casual hikers correctly packing and storing food can be the difference between a good day and a disaster.
They can also make a huge difference in the rest of our lives.

A good tactical lunch bag should have enough room to store eating utensils, multiple meals, snacks, and water. They should be easy to carry and have a sturdy frame. The lunch bag should feature internal segments and preferably webbing to make use of all the available space.
Why do I need a tactical lunch bag?
Everyone can benefit from having a well-designed, durable, easy to carry lunch box in their life. Whether you commute to your office every day, take regular picnics, or regularly head over to the gym you will find them useful.
Being able to carry multiple meals, snacks, and drinks at once means you will have a whole day’s worth of food at your disposal. This means you don’t need to run to the shops between leaving work and heading to the gym or spend most of your lunch break queuing in the cafeteria.
The biggest benefit we have found since introducing a tactical lunch box into our lives is that we have finally been able to practice the 5 small meals a day rule. Being able to carry around this amount of food so easily has been a game-changer.
Commuting with food was difficult before we purchased our tactical lunch box. Now, we can carry around a lot of food in a compact manner.
The only thing better than a tactical lunch box is a tactical lunch box being used in combination with a tactical backpack…
