Great video ! Gave me a lot of ideas of things I was lacking in my bugout bag such as a cleaning rod and oil and Benadryl. One thing I would recommend is hot hand warmers . They can be useful for keeping warm when you don’t want to start a fire and they can last several hours . They can also be used to help sore feet after hiking
I do have hand warmers, I may throw a few in. If I ran out of MREs and Freeze Dried meals, I would throw in a mess kit, according to what I had to cook/make. but im trying to keep it as light as possible. Thanks for the ideas 😀
Thank you for reviewing the 72 Hour Assault Pack and what you carry in it. I will take a look at this bag. Stay safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I have a 3 day assault pack, same design, Molle is different. You're absolutely right, they're not as forgiving as the traditionally shaped backpacks, you have to pack them absolutely correctly everytime or you will have a sore back by the end of the day. Fantastic for lots of rectangular/square things, regular camping gear, not so much. This isn't the pack for hiking in the mountains.
Absolutely, how you pack your back is extremely important. Having it pull to one side or having weight pulling on your shoulders uneven will make wearing it super uncomfortable. Thanks for the info and for watching 😎
You are correct about the Suspension NXT. I prefer Leatherman but got an NXT through a subscription box. I didn't carry it or use it much, tossed it in a drawer. Fast forward 4 months and I had used it all of 3 times. Went to go open it a 4th time, the retention tab on the left side just snapped off. This is part of the body of the tool, the handle pieces are all one solid piece of steel and the tabs at the end provide friction against the joints to keep it open or closed when used as pliers. It snapped right off just opening it so the left side swings loose and you can't use the tool anymore. Fourth time opening.... Sure, they sent me a new one after I sent them pictures of mine, but that's not going to help you in the woods if it happens to yours.
You can get alcohol and a small metal cup and use that to boil a cup of water and it has very little light no smoke and no smell. Perfect for mountain house
Wondering where you got those 4 D-Rings attached to the front pocket? What size? From LAPG as well? How sturdy are they? Sorry for too many questions. :) Thank you!
I have this same backpack and I agree, the overall quality us right up there with some of the big names. The only thing I don't like about it is that (laser cut) "MOLLE" webbing. It gives a great pack an inferior attachment system. It frays much quicker than regular MOLLE webbing and I just don't have much confidence in it. Aside from that, this pack is well thought out.
I agree, the laser cut is lighter weight, but feels more fragile. I prefer it only when I don’t plan on using the molle all the time. It snags less too, but other than that, standard molle is superior. Thanks for watching 😀
@@poortac5568 My pleasure. By the way, since the kidney straps have real MOLLE webbing, I threw 4 mag pouches there as well as a pistol holster. If I'm bringing mags, I want to be able to get to them. Just my two cents.
@@thriftysurvivor6117 I use a war belt, so I have to keep the kidney straps slick or there would be interference. But that would be a good place for spare mags. Easy access, good idea! 🇺🇸
@@poortac5568 Yes, I guess those mag pouches would get in the way of war or battler belt. The most I might use one for would be to hang a drop leg IFAK pouch or something from. The mag pouches wouldn't get in the way of that. I currently have an IFAK attached to the back of the pack, but I feel it would make more sense to use the drop leg IFAK so I could also get to it. I only have the IFAK on the back in case I forget to grab the drop leg when I gear up before heading out the door. That's just the way I run, but I do understand your reasoning for keeping the kidney straps slick.
@@thriftysurvivor6117 Proof that there is no one perfect way to do something. I was thinking about getting a drop leg bandoleer for rifle mags. I like options 😀
They are too big to use as an everyday style bag. I think they are just right as an emergency bag. I had just enough space for what I need, with a little extra room for food.
I will if I need more space, never know what all will be useful. Plus they are better protected from puncture, since I have tools in the same area. But I would for sure if I needed to be lighter or need more space in my pack 😀
I dont buy $300 bags, so I cant compare to super high end, but the bag is very durable imo. 2-3x more rugged than the $50 amazon “tactical” backpacks Ive used. My gear weighs 30-35 pounds and the pack hasn’t ripped or shown any wear and the pack doesnt “strain” under the weight. My amazon backpack that I used when traveling europe was good for clothes and normal stuff, but it would rip when carrying more than 15-20 pounds worth. Id say this backpack would be really good for hiking. The only negative is the laser cut molle, which is not as tough as regular molle. but it is more snag free. This would be my first choice in a sub $100 backpack for hiking. You will be impressed with the quality, I was.
the same as I have in this one, but I would put better cooking equipment in it. I would also have a better/more permanent style shelter. A fishing kit would also be a good idea if you are near water.

I try to do both. I just figured most people can read manufacturers details on the site they buy from (and would be bored if I read them), so I usually just include my experience and thoughts. Thanks for watching 😀
@@poortac5568 I got you, your video is good, I just look to see an actual person measure the depth, width etc. Also I always want to know the construction materials and how the reviewer likes the stiffness and weight. I did see you measure some aspects. Thanks for taking your time to provide the review.

They can be useful for keeping warm when you don’t want to start a fire and they can last several hours . They can also be used to help sore feet after hiking
Also you might want to get a mess kit for just simple cooking and just luxury . They are pretty compact and not that expensive

agreed! the standard Suspension is better. Leather beats them all. At least they replaced yours. Thanks for watching 😀
Nice pack, you covered a lot of survival needs.
thanks! 😀
@@poortac5568 thanks I enjoy your vids.
Love what you guys do, keep up the amazing work!
thanks! 😀
Lash the sleeping bag to the strap holders on the bottom of the bag
I would, but I need a sack that stand out less to put it in first. Trying to keep only natural colors visible.
You should check out the Sh!t kit for hygiene purposes. I keep a couple in my Minuteman bag and in my pickup.
ill look into it, thanks 👍

I do have ration style solid fuel that burns clean. Ill have to put a few in my bag. Thanks for the idea 😀

They are just cheap ones off amazon 👍 I wouldnt put a ton of weight on them. For holding smaller gear, they work fine though. amzn.to/3jVcMCU

I just got one and I didnt realize how huge these bags are

Nice bug out bag, btw you should fild strip the mre's or at least take them out of the packaging
I will if I need more space, never know what all will be useful. Plus they are better protected from puncture, since I have tools in the same area. But I would for sure if I needed to be lighter or need more space in my pack 😀
What does your patch say
Its Psalms 82:4 “Rescue the week and the needy; deliver them from the hands of the wicked.”
Can you discuss the durability of this bag? I would like to purchase it, but want to make sure it will hold up to rugged wear and tear in the woods.

Thanks 😀 We are in Arkansas
What do you recommend putting in a bug out bag
the same as I have in this one, but I would put better cooking equipment in it. I would also have a better/more permanent style shelter. A fishing kit would also be a good idea if you are near water.
@@poortac5568 sweet thanks would this bag really last 82 hours?

Could you give the weight of the pack with your contents please?
it is about 28-30 pounds, based on my bathroom scale 🤓

That bag is probably close to 15 pounds with all that gear inside
