The double stacked molle was meant to be Alice compatible while Molle was coming into Australia. The elastic on the bottom of the bottle pouch was meant for field dressing.
I kind of wish I still had my ADF version of this rig. I had a non Platatac version that was really nice. Sadly I sold it before I started my channel. Great video man, I covered the SPUR tropicals and that pack is great! The newer packs have velcro on the pack bag to put IFF on them and there is some additional organization inside the main compartment.
So as an Aussie using mostly platatac stuff Re: zip pulls, they have moved to a more standard cord and heat shrunk plastic style The rig looks like a mk2, the current one has more admin parts and a larger Velcro area and has gone down to 3 mag pouches across the front
Hey EOD fish. Just found your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos. If you’re looking for some interesting gear pieces to review, I have a Russian SSO Smersh rig, the version that came before their MOLLE version. With belt rigs seemingly making a return in the industry, perhaps your other viewers would like to hear your thoughts on the Russian adaptation. Thanks for the quality content!
I find it funny we used metric to go to the moon as does most science, Brits will make fun of us for using imperial, weigh themselves in stones, drink pints, both imperial units Americans don't really use
Their stuff just seems over done. I will say I would t mind there 4 mag placard thing but that’s only because I have this yearning to have 4 mags up front instead of 3.
hey brotha, tracking down a tactical axe/tomahawk with spike for trade here , i only have blades/etc for trade , i only have email here , would like to talk more , thanks > tom > u.s. marines active 93' to 97' !
I recently picked up a Peacekeeper Mk5 and I will say that's probably the best piece of kit I've purchased in 5 years.

Thank you for answering my admittedly very obscure question, been looking for light framed packs like these that push the bag slightly off my back.
From what I remember the elastic cross straps are used for holding Israeli bandages.

I too have had mixed experiences with platatac. I have owned 4 pairs of their combat pants, all the same size, with widely different cut and fit.
Australians been looking a kangaroos for years and your surprised we come up with the dangler 1st
Haha!

That would be pretty rad my dude.

Thats gen 3. Release date was late 2000's. The mk 5 was released last year.
Those eleastic loops at the bottom are for bandages.
how much weight did you try it with?

We also make fun of Americans for other reasons too.
@@FlankerJackChannel y'all do use some nice kit though it was pricey to import but I love my jayjays belt
Those mag pouches are like the ones from the LBV-88 vest...
