- Highly Versatile: Just like its companion utility belt, the Endurance Rucksack comes with just as much and even more tools and gear needed for combat and survival scenarios, as well as the space in and on the rucksack to add more if needed.
- Non-Protective: Just like its companion utility belt, the Endurance Rucksack provides a wide variety of tools and gear but provides no actual physical protection from any sorts of physical attacks.
After the development of the Lifeline utility belt Hekler'Kok decided that a companion rucksack would be a great product they could market along with the belt and pair it with the belt on their upcoming armors. Just like with the Lifeline belt they decided on instead of a simple pre-packed rucksack they made a rucksack that was indeed pre-packed but the majority of it is empty allowing for the user to mix and match tools and gear specific to the users need.
The material choosing process was rather easy, even more than the process for the belt as they simply re-used the same material, the Reflec impregnated fabric.
With this step done they moved on to the features, the main aspect of the rucksack. Firstly they added in back and shoulder padding to make the rucksack more comfortable to wear over an extended period of time. Magnetic/physical attachment points allow the rucksack to be attached to metal and non-metal armors.
A variety of pouches allow for the storage of blaster/slugthrower ammunition, grenades and glowrods. A universal weapon maintenance kit contains tools for maintaining blasters, slugthrowers and even edged weapons. A 1-man shelter allows the user to avoid the elements and sleep with a modicum of safety and humility.
A medical kit allows for the treatment of more serious wounds than the first aid kit on the Lifeline belt. A tube of stim pills allows the user to keep awake for much longer than normally possible, though a disclaimer is prominent on tube. A hazardous environment suit allows for more than just the respiratory protection the rebreather on the Lifeline belt provided.
A survival shovel gives the user the ability to...well dig. Space for three sets of spare clothes allows the user to change out of their worn clothes for whatever reason. A pair of replacement trauma plates for a plate carrier was added in case the user is using a plate carrier. Five meters of synthrope is included for whatever use one needs rope.
A pair of climbing boots and gloves helps the user climb rough surfaces. A pair of climbing claws is also included for surfaces too rough for the climbing gloves and boots. A mini moisture vaporator can collect water in otherwise waterless or unsafe water environments. A portable heater helps give the user heat in cold environment while a portable generator powers it and the moisture vaparator.
A helmet storage bag allows the user to keep their helmet, be it a pilot helmet, climbing helmet or combat helmet, stored away when not in use. Finally additional webbing and storage space allows for the carrying of even more gear and tools not already pre-packed in the rucksack.
