Might try these Concealed Carry Backpacks | Covert Bags & Backpacks | 5.11 Tactical,
If you look around you can get them cheaper.
Has anyone tried one of these for an EDC. I travel quite a bit and am looking for a combination EDC/GHB.

what is the best chest/shoulder rig to compliment a BOB
It depends on YOUR perspective of what a BOB should do for you. Some feel it is a "3 day bag" to get you from point A to point B over a certain period of time, typically 3 days. Others feel as though they should be able to sustain themselves for considerably longer out of the bag if need be. This distinction will help you determine WHAT a bag needs, but also WHO needs to have one.My question is do you keep a BOB for every member of the family or try to put everything the family would need into one BOB. I figure that a wife and older children could carry a BOB with their own stuff (contents approved by me). If you would want each member to carry a BOB, would you put the same stuff in every bag? Each with a first aid kit, each with fire starting material, each with a compass, etc.

Cosermann, my BoB weighs about 40 pounds.
Chraland51. I did not include GMRS radios because I doubt we would use them. Not part of SOP for my family. We don't chatter a lot. I use them a lot during training for intrasquad comms however. In a SHTF scenario, my family would typically not be out of my sight. Not to say it couldn't happen, but like everything, its a trade off, weight/space vs utility. In my experience the utility is small, based on our SOPs.
