How to void your warranty in 18 minutes
😂😂 This may be the best comment I’ve ever had🤙
There's a reason he's in a padded room....
You should see how I modified the straight jacket
Warranty?? It's a $100 bag lol. If you need the warranty, $100 is too much for you my friend. lol
In part 2 of this series, he cuts the bag in half to increase ventilation. Hey, I posted this comment because you have a good sense of humor, bud
Haha I love the wit. Second best comment on this video🤙🤙
@@adrianofthewest actually, I was just thinking. I used some waterproof spray on some of my boots. May be a good idea to do to the bag.
That’s a really good idea! I didn’t think of that-thanks for sharing🙌🙌
@@adrianofthewest 👍
Thanks for the share, Adrian! Great video.
Don't listen to the haters. Some folks only do missionary style, never bothering to hit it from a different angle :D
While I personally wouldn't have cut or removed anything straps or otherwise, I totally understand the utility in some of it. I am always adding or removing modifications or looking for "a better way to do it" with all of my EDC, so permanent removal of any option that comes stock on the bag would likely leave me with regret later on.
I really like the thumb loops on the straps. That is indeed an idea I will be borrowing. As far as the internal zipper pulls the length has never been an issue for me, but the color has. I replaced the zipper pulls with bright yellow paracord pulls.
I'm always interested to see how others modify their bags so I will share one of my "go to" mods that I will forever do to every bag. I add a small stainless-steel keyring the same size as the ones that come on a Swiss army knife, to all of my exterior dual zippers. This simply gives me the option of adding luggage locks to my bag. It's not theft proof but makes it harder for a thief to get in to.
Yeah buddy! Thanks for the comment--haha your third sentence gave me a good laugh. I dig your idea of using bright yellow paracord for the internal zipper pulls. That is on point, man. Also a solid call to use split rings for a little added ease/security for a lock. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment with good mod ideas and helping everyone out.
Just picked mine up at the 5.11 store here in West Palm Beach Fl! Great pack! Gonna be using it over the next 3 days.
Hell yeah!🤙
I had no idea they had a store there! I'll have to drop by.
that’s where i got mine lol
so clean and satisfied
🙌
Great video, mate.. I am a hugh fan of 5.11 Rush series, particularly Rush24.. own three of them and one Rush12.. great video. Cheers.
Thanks mate!🤙 soild packs for sure. I just bought another. Damn good packs.
Very helpful video. Thank You!
I’m glad it helped🤙
I like your mods. I've done a few of the same to my 5.11 packs. However, I also cut out the laptop pocket, as I never carry a laptop in my bags. I also cut off the compression straps because they always prevent me from closing the bag easily. Now I just buy First Tactical bags, because there is no laptop pouch and the compression straps are removable. And full clam shell opening! So much better.
Thanks! Yeah I ended up cutting out the laptop pocket and compression straps too. I wish 5.11 made a dedicated laptop pocket that could open from the top with its own zipper like a normal laptop bag. I also wish they put three horizontal zipper pockets across the front, rather than the admin panel. I used to have a First Tactical bag and I really liked it. First makes good gear.
I thought I was the only one who modified their backpacks. Nice
Good to know there’s at least two of us out there 🤙
My god man, you’ve used creativity and ingenuity to make something work better for your needs, what the hell is wrong with you! Some good mods, enjoyed the vid. 👍 Been modifying my bags last 8 yrs. One I recently started doing after getting tired of the bottom wicking water when I set it down in rain or snow, is using clear flex seal on the bottom. I mask it off with tape just above bottom seam and spray it. Allow to dry well (24-48hrs), then I spray with Kiwi Camp Dry. The 5.11 bags are pretty water resistant, but I like the added protection. I also modify inside pull straps, and eliminate unnecessary crap.
Haha right on mate!! 🤙
appreciate the insight, thanks!!!
Yeah buddy 🤙
Nice that I found this videos. I also got rid of 2 side buckles which hinder me access to side pockets and main room. I think it is completely pointless to have those, unless it is rush 72.
Totally agree👍
Great vid. I have all 3 12, 24, and 72. Indestructible
Thanks! Yeah, these things are iron.
Not quite indestructibe lol. After 10 years I'm starting to have to repair some seams, no big deal though.
Also the teflon coating eventually wears off.
Yeah not bad at all
If you put that same heat around the perimeter of the knot, you can firm up and lock down the knot. It will never slip loose. It will also never untie but we all have spare cordage anyway so…
Hell yeah solid idea 👍
5:00 ...I rolled up my strap into itself and used a Ranger Band (cut bike inner tube) as a Strap keeper. Its out of the way , on the bottom
Excellent idea🤙
I got myself a Hazard4 "Drawbridge" backpack and replaced all the zipper drawstrings with survival paracord, the string with like 10 different strands of....STUFF....
The backpack straps you modified with paracord is a nice idea but the Drawbridge's straps came with a velcro loop so you can fold the excess length of strap over itself and just tie it down so it stays rolled up/folded.
Hell yeah🤙
Those “thumb holes” you add: I add something similar but out of shock cord (two of them) to hold either a water bottle or trekking poles.
Nice! Great idea🤙🤙
Excelente mochila 👌 es mi favorita 😃
Si, excelente mochila. Muy bueno. Muy resistente y duradero.
17:03 melting close to nylon, I recommend sliding an old credit card or something similar behind the strap you're melting to prevent accidentally burning anything. also means you can get much closer.
That is a great idea! Thank you🤙
@@adrianofthewest Thank you too for the video! 👍🏼
You bet👍
I shorten my zipper pulls too!
Hell yeah! I knew there’d be another one out there!
The thumb loop idea was really good, I don't get why you have so many salty people in the comments though. You bought the bag and tailored it to your liking; I don't get what the issue is.
Thanks mate! 🤙 And yeah, people on the internet have strong opinions about everything lol.
Any of you tried to lower the chest strap. I was thinking to cut the plastic clips and use split rings or some type of replacement and lower the strap down a couple of rows.
The plastic piece that connects the sternum straps to the webbing on the backpack straps has a split in the back so you can remove it move it so another level. Just take the sternum strap and press it all the way up and you’ll see the split in the back.
@@adrianofthewest
Really!.. no way because I was actually thinking and looking to see if they had a split in. I thought that would be a brilliant idea. But I couldn't see any splits.
I'll check again. Thankyou
Yeah you bet! The split is in the middle and you really have to pull the strap to see it but it’s there. Just make sure you bunch up the webbing in the shoulder strap enough and you’ll see it 🤙
No way they do indeed have splits in. Hahaha thankyou
Yeah buddy🙌🙌
Can I wash and machine dry my 5.11 tactical bag?
I have washed mine for years in a front-load washer and they were always fine. They wash really well and basically look new after. I imagine it would be fine to wash the bag in a top-load wash too. It would probably be ok to dry it on low in a machine, but I have only line-dried my bags by hanging them upside down over my bathtub overnight.
The first cut part should be sown using a blanket stitch
100% agree. But I don’t have a sewing machine and forget hand stitching lol
I have the Rush 24 1.0
A great backpack. I had a few of those back in the day 🤙
How to quickly ruin a $120.00 backpack... 5.11 must love this video... new repeat sales are going up... due to people melting holes into their perfectly good backpacks... but... it is hilarious to know that allot of people will actually try this at home... smh... a large black metal key ring actually makes a decent thumb pull for the straps... no destruction of the bag needed lol
Soooo you subscribed right?
heat a screw driver's tip and melt the hard to get parts
Great idea👍 I just modified another backpack and used a soldering iron to melt some nylon around the frame, which worked really well.
Bad idea for tactical or military use. Imagine those thumb pulls being caught on something 😮😢
I specially engineered the thumb pulls to only get caught on the enemy during tactical or military use, and when they do, they’re a one hit kill. ☠️🦅🇺🇸
cutting the raincover increases the possibility of the zipper to jump out! thats basically an absolute NO-GO and destroys the durability of your backpack!
Never been an issue for me.
Damn you just ruined that bag 😓
Lol bro if you saw what I’ve done to it since, you shit your pants 😂 but it’s workin well for me 🤙🦅🦅
@@adrianofthewest what else you done? Also you should change out the pull strings on the outside for some heavy duty para cord I did that, with camo colour looks pretty cool
I basically just have two shoulder straps left lol 🤣. JK, I removed the Velcro from the concealed carry pocket, cut the zipper rain flaps all the way off, and removed everything from the admin panel expert the zipper pocket and stuff pockets on against the outer wall.
@@adrianofthewest Damn 😂😓 you just turned it into a 20 dollar amazon bag. You could of saved yourself like 70 bucks and just got one of them lol. Why remove the rain zips. Water will get into the bag now. If it works for you tho fuck It bro
Nuh bruh, it’s my gym bag. It never rains in the gym lol 🤣. And the admin pocket is now way more functional for bulkier things now. I never used all those pen pockets and shit. They just got in my way.
Video showing how to quickly and efficiently ruin one of the best backpacks 5.11
Or in other words, when someone thinks he know a lot more than the engineers and designers of one of the best military equipment companies.
I’ve been waiting on 5.11 for a job offer as Chief of Backpack Engineering, but now I’m thinking that it was a mistake to send this video to their CEO rather than my resume. Oops.
@@adrianofthewest It's better that they didn't hire you...because there they want you to create and not destroy! Yes, I understand your irony and I think it is absolutely useless. The fact is that you think you're modifying and at the same time you're just destroying and bragging about it... you obviously think you're better, have better ideas and know more than the creators! Yes, of course behind every product there is a team of engineers, testers, designers...etc. It is stupid to think that a quality product comes out on the market where the competition is huge just like that. Once you are in the public space, you will have to tolerate criticism better.
Come on man, just admit you like my modification better than the original. You know you do.
@@adrianofthewest Well...you caught me off guard...I admit I don't just like your mods but I think they are great, unique, amazing, beautiful, absolutely divine....
I am currently looking for just like your tools so I can recreate them exactly like you. I'm going to cut the clunky Rush 24 and right after that the nasty rush moab 10...just to find the same tools.... 😂😂
Haha I knew you’d come around 😅😉
This was the most useless mods so far, 18 min of my life wasted!
Come on, at lease give me credit for those thumb pulls.
@@adrianofthewest Realy? you want props cos you attached 2 string, realy?
Yes. Now get on it.
@@adrianofthewest No, thx, am an adult!
Ah come on, it will be fun!
