Thanks for the review. I bought the Fox tactical jumbo modular for a 72hr pack and love it
Good review of the equipment. Appreciated your focus on quality of construction.
Thanks for the review. I ordered this pack after watching your video. One thought about the roll down top. Here in the desert SW (central AZ) we are not always able to hang a pack to keep it off the ground. While going through a bag the other day (draw string closure) I found a scorpion had made his way into my pack. Fortunately he was already dead but that was an eye opener. The roll down top will certainly deny future invaders access to the main compartment, although a properly secured draw string could also do that given some effort. I have been looking for a small pack sans straps to use on a pack frame. This should work nicely.
Randy Anglin being from the Eastern Woodlands, denying access to scorpions and such wasn't something I had thought about. That's a really good point! Thanks for bringing it up!
That and thats just how an Ass Pack has always been since WW2 so you can since your gear tight, loose is bad noise discipline because things shake so in the military we used to sinch it down real hard....same with the alice pack and this version of an ass pack is essentially a mini alice pack
Wait did you mean the dry bag part? We used to just have a draw string, same reasons, noise discipline, dryness and bugs (we keep a spare field stripped MRE or two in ass packs among other things, extra magazines, extra skivvy rolls which are socks/shirt/underwear rolled up, lol, or shoved in)
i got the 2 quind of buttpack they make they are on my condor harness and battle belt they realy work great to my systeme of camping and hiking and hunting with the 2 butt pack have water proof bag to protect my stuff Great Video
excellent review
I do like the map flap one of huge things I was looking for in a buttpack is a map lid like old alice pack..yes no bed roll straps suck,but can be easily modded and added
Good job. Thank you.
Nice review. I have one made by phenix gear that's pretty much the same thing, even looks the same except mine is multicam (the only color the Ranger Joe's catalog had ($20). Very great invention and a bargain at twice as much I often MOLLE it towards the bottom of my rucks near where I carry the compression sack for my sleep gear, which often causes it to push up; it doesn't bother me and lets me carry more gear (as if I don't have enough with the extensive use of MOLLE on my rucks, compression sacks and MOLLE pouches on my ruck and tac vest, Molle pouches MOLLEd together and put into compression sacks inside the ruck, and I pack meds heavy, trauma kit, gear heavy, weapons, mags, and ammo heavy, etc...... which is great for my fucked up knee and chronic pain, lol. I use the outside compartments for, you guessed it, extra mags, top zipper compartment for an extra pistol and ammo and/or extra meds (which I carry tons of, as I suffer from chronic pain and panic disorder, so real meds [no OTC shit], as well as another, larger IFAK called a MAFK, which is a lot bigger and carries a lot more than the IFAK I have on my tac vest/plate carrier and they are set up as trauma kits. Have you noticed the outer compartments make the back look much like an A.L.I.C.E. pack? I'm guessing that's what inspired it. Your putting that hatchet behind the compartment gives me an idea where to carry my Vietnam Ranger Tomahawk (great piece of gear for melee, as you can use the tomahawk blade as well as the bladed, arrow head shaped spike thing on the back; I'll have to figure a good way to draw it quickly right handed or use it left handed if needed in a hurry since I keep my dump pouch on the right side MOLLE on my vest). I carry a fiberglass handled camp hatchet for chopping (to keep the Ranger Tomahawk sharp for combat) and that can also be carried between a compartment and main storage while training with my gear in the wooded mountains around my house (we live in BFE, so I can shoot guns all day, hunt and not worry about seasons and tags, be in camos and full combat load while "loaded" :), etc...... since our land is private and neighbors and cops are miles away). Thanks for the idea. I can also use it as a car bag to carry an extra gun, extra ammo, extra pain and panic meds, a bigger knife than the tactical folder I clip to my hip pocket, and other useful stuff. IDK why I didn't think of it before I watched your video. And remember, there's no such thing as too much paracord ;)
Wtf
😆🤔🤣
I LOVE this thanks
Great Video!
M C Burnett Jr
Thanks!
Cool could it hold a hammock and under quilt in the big pouch
Good video
Good Video.
Been wondering about this pack..been debating on buying one for few years now..I'm very picky on gear I get..I was looking at eagle industries but don't wana pay almost $400 for a buttpack
So is it designed to be compatible with an ALICE LC2 belt and harness at the same time as your wearing a large (with metal from or medium without metal frame) ALICE rucksack?
Or should only be won with belt and harness without rucksack?
I am disapointed they dont have bed roll straps on the bottom.. You could attach oneof these to a plate arrier back and have a nice bug out bag
Will side pockets hood the pathfinder bottle kit
I just checked- the 32 oz bottle fits PERFECTLY by itself, and the nesting cup is a VERY SNUG fit- you'll fight to get the cup in and out. Hope that helped!
Nice video, not being a prick but how do you get to your med kit if its behind you? I keep my kit up front so I can reach it with either hand.
Dick Hurtz
That's a valid question. I guess you'd have to take the whole system off in order to do that. Or what you could do is hang it off the Molle webbing in a pouch on the front of your belt like I do in reality. :-) I pretty much just stuck it there to show what the bag can hold
Hmmm. Could you get a set of bdu in that?
I don't have a set, so I can't really say. I CAN tell you that I can fit a pair of jeans, a pair of LAPG Operator pants, an undershirt, a tee shirt, and a pair of socks in the main compartment. I hope that helps!
Maybe you can poke a small hole in the bag seam and run paracord thru it for a draw string??
Dude. I'm kinda mad that I didn't think of that...
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews lol.. let me know how it works.. i been having a garage sale this week and was gonna sell mine but watching your vid made me think of it.. dont know why i hadnt thought about it before either.
Don't know if you're still responding to comments on this but I'm planning on picking one of these up for an airsoft kit I'm making, do you know how to wear one? Would I need anything extra like a belt or some kind of chest rig, or do these come with some method of wearing it?
I wear mine attached to a padded Molle belt. I also use a condor H harness to support the belt and the stuff I have attached to it. Hope that helps!
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews Thanks for the help :)
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews I ordered one in OD and plan to attach it to the pals on the back of the condor H harness I ordered. Do you think that'll work?
It should.
Huh, looks like a miniature but improved Alice pack
It pretty much is just that! It's a good little pack for its size.
Budget Guns and Gear Reviews , love fox for their affordability and quality. Have many of their product to fill in the hard to find Alice gear and period items. Much better then rothco. Might have to check into their more civilian style stuff.
Yes, in a way it is! it became kind of an obsession for me to find "the lost small Alice pack" as it had to be one LOL
Careful with that axe, Eugene...you'd better put it in the rear, or else that picky thing's gonna hurt you bad. Leave those side pass-throughs for your machete and saw if you can attach them at the top, or skis if wearing high on your back like a small ruck on a MOLLE panel with pack straps or hydration vest etc.
I'm in the UK how would I get one. Any information would be appreciated.
I'd check Amazon UK
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews thanks
I found the mills attachments were weak. One of mine tore, make that part of the mills unusable.
There's molle
I mean molle
Will a pistol belt work with the pack or do You need a suspender setup?
Robert Richardson
You could probably use a pistol belt, but it would support a lot better if you had some kind of suspenders setup. of course, it would really depend on how much stuff you planned to carry.
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews I've used it on my pistol belts successfully. I now use the U.S.GI MOLLE type waist duffel in the same place on my pistol belt : at the small of my back. Where I could see this butt pack really shine is when you're carrying light ( maybe because you have to grab your stuff and run and you aren't able to strap on that big military ruck, you're doing recon, doing combat patrol, and you just need a patrol bag, use it as an assault pack, etc....... ). You could mount this on a belt and harness system like the old LC-2/Deuce gear with this on top of your back harness and something like a surplus gas mask bag or the newer GI waist duffel on your belt. That would give you enough capacity to live for a day or even two if you pack smart. It wouldn't be comfortable, but it would sustain you until you got back to your main camp with your big combat ruck full of gear
Just realized this vid is 3 yrs old. Are you still getting good use from it?
Yep! It's still going strong. I've been thinking about doing an update vid... in fact, I hadvit in my hands about 15 minutes ago, contemplating how I'd do the vid...
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews
I went looking in your catalog of videos for the update video on this Fox recon butt bag and don't see it ?
I haven't done one yet.
@@BudgetGunsandGearReviews
Oh OK, I appreciate your time spent in responding. So would you recommend this still, what's your opinion of this matched with the Condor Modular Chest Rig, which is the one that has the water bladder built in and molle on the back ?
Yes, I would recommend it for sure, abd it should pair well with the Condor rig.
Doesn't line up with most of my molle gear.
Cuz isn’t a real army surplus.- for 48 bucks.- look up for an real one .- eagle industries.- is a may be $100.- and is 1000000% better.- plz dont take me wrong this is a good pack.- but quality.-😒😒😒
Can i have a link where u got it and whats the name of the pack? Thanks, nice vid though.

Here ya go!

Thanks mate.
Are the side pockets large enough to hold a GI style canteen and cup?
jason60chev
I don't know about the cup- I don't have one. I can check about the canteen itself when I get home from work though.
jason60chev
I checked, and they're JUST too small for a canteen.
Budget Guns and Gear Reviews Yep and that was so stupid that they didn't plan for a canteen set to fit in the pockets. I do think the old metal canteens by it's self can fit.
Maybe the Nalgene bottles and steel cups as well as the steel thermos SOF gear, as those would be updates to the old Alice gear, just as the pack itself?
Funny how similar to an ALICE pack it appears.
Well, the pack part of the ALICE pack is a good design. Makes sense that they'd copy it so closely.
ramen rules.
I don't know that I'd go that far, but it is pretty good. :-) thanks for watching!
zon xunder Yeah just like exlax.
How dare you not carry a metal container! hahaha
Adam Whitlach
I do. Just not in this bag.
:)
well made, sturdy knockoff of a mini Alice rucksack. but...no D rings for carry/ mounting straps? not even a grab handle? LMFAO! Condit the same. C'mon guys, the only way to use this thing is mounted on gear, or keep a D ring threaded through MOLLE straps 1 and 4. so stick with G.I. or Spec Ops SOB. if you've got one.
I ended up sewing on my own d-rings so I can attach a carry strap
Budget Guns and Gear Reviews yeah,but my point is we shouldn't have to. I'm still P.O.d at SpecOps for no molle straps, found 2 adapters, so can use molle, but if they did X pouches, why not the SOB? btw, mine is nearly 20 years and still going strong.
This is actually a copy of the Eagle Industries RLCS Butt Pack. It's meant to mount to the back of a war belt, chest rig system or a plate carrier.
@@NotStephenColbert It would probably be awesome with those Russian Smersh belt and harness rigs. They have tons of MOLLE, belt is wide, you can carry a lot of AK mags and pistol mags, pistol in thigh holster, it has 1 or 2 little haversacks on it ( you could mount this onto the haversacks that have MOLLE ). All kinds of stuff you can do with it
@@gulfrelay2249 Yes and no...the SOB and their hydration carrier were kind of transitional gear expanding the ALICE and IIFS gear back when MOLLE was still in trial...
Cool could it hold a hammock and under quilt in the big pouch
Halston Banks I'll check and let you know.
Yup, I can fit a hammock and underquilt (DIY Costco version) in the main pocket. Thanks! :)
No thank you for that info i know what im going to do now. Great videos keep it up
