    I would suggest you add a canteen pouch on both sides under the sustainment pouches. Can use both for canteens or one side for water and the other for additional storage. Would open up more room inside the pack by displacing your water bottles. Also, using a canteen you can nest a canteen cup and stove. BTW, just using a back pack cover in your choice of camo is a cheap way to upgrade the color of the pack instead of dying it.

      I’m a canteen guy. So I always carry canteens. For the moment I’ve not attacked both to the out side. But thanks for the reminder.

    I've dyed some of that pattern. Make sure you machine wash it first. I used "RIT" dye. I've used apple green, dark green, peacock green, camel, black, I've done some of those 7L side pouches and canteen / general purpose pouches, they all dye a little different, I think it depends on the materials. I've been happy with all the dye jobs except trying a little black in the green, it came out too dark and kinda blue. Apple green and peacock green with some camel were good combos.

      Great advice. I’ve sprayed several pieces f gear in the past. Worked better than dying

    A light grey dye job would look pretty cool, in my head at least. Up close the digital pattern would show through but from far away it would be great greyman gear. That's all in my head though, so I'm not sure how it would play out in real life view.

    Hi Mike, I have the large MOLLE ll rucksack in Woodland Camo. Was fortunate to find one on ebay several years ago. Haven't tried it out yet. I've heard a lot of bad reviews on the plastic frame, especially in cold weather, of it cracking. But I'm not planning to carry 100 lbs in it. Hopefully it will work out fore winter camping. Also, I have a CFP-90 pack that I wanted to try out for winter, It's huge! Great video, thanks for showing how to pack it. 👍

      Wow! Molle 2 large. Thats a keeper. We had the Cpf90s at Bragg. But we couldn’t jump them.

      I had the USMC FIBLE before. Heavy and high. This army pack isn’t bad. But it’s more for winter use

    lol, its taken me all night at work to watch a 10 minute video.. lol.. I would think with a bag that large you could put everything in it including all the other bags.. its funny, for $39 I almost bought one off these on ebay tonight with two spare diddy bags and the frame, straps and belt.. but I swear I think it is way to big, I would be inclined to fill it up.. but man for $39 I dont know if I can let it go..

      Totally agree. I’m soon to have some cold weather. That’s when I camp the most

    Mike. Do you use a bivy bag with your sleeping bag or do you just put the sleeping back on the sleep mat on top of the tyvek and make some time of tarp shelter?

    • @mikebox
      @mikebox  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don’t use a body. I’ve tried it and found it too warm. I always, usually build a shelter. Either under a spruce tree or a tarp

    guess I missed the live.. Im a gear whore but have learned at our ages, it is best to stay small, like Jakkari S. Anything more is no fun to carry and Im in decent shape for 54.

      Totally agree. My hips knees and back won’t allow for the heavy loads at distance anymore
