Goruck hold tough mudder events and make bags. They're supposed to be pretty tough.
Some decent discounts in this sale, including the 'rucking kit' bundles.

GoRuck sell a brick insert for their bags, so that you can easily load them with housebricks to train for their events, as you're supposed to run the course with a certain amount of weight in one of their bags.
They also sell 60 pound/27 kilo sand bags for the same purpose.
Their bags are expensive, but not that bad on a per-year-of-use basis (or at least so the reviews say - I don't own one, because I don't like the military/MOLLE look).
Oooooh we use 1000D Cordura fabric! So we're gonna charge you >$350 USD for a simple backpack.
What a joke, stupid marketing tricks and slogans like "Special Forces approved!" to sell to tacticool nuts.
There are many brands that sell packs with Cordura, and plenty of others that sell bags made with canvas/waxed-canvas/DWR-treatments that will perform just as well as these bags for one-third the price.
20 seconds of searching on Aussie Disposals turned up this 900D top loading camo pack for $60. And if you are desperate for 1000d Cordura there are literally dozens of brands that make bags cheaper than the overpriced marketing of Goruck.

If you are desperate to appear like you are in the military, buy Goruck.
