Reading the comments, there are folks who seem to not be able to not criticize the tried and true Molle II because there are lighter civilian packs. You are missing the point of using military surplus. It’s proven to work, it’s durable, it’s not expensive (relatively speaking). A lot of us have no desire to invest our life savings in outdoor gear simply to win the “my pack is lighter than yours award”. If you want to carry featherweight gear and pay out the nose to do it, then have a good time. By the way, this 65 year old man doesn’t believe carrying 55 pounds of gear in my medium II Molly is an insane amount of weight. I don’t plan on running a marathon with it.
It's hard to find another pack with this kind of volume... Carry capability and strength, as well as durability and ride quality. The heavy duty capability is undeniable with this pack as well as other military surplus.
One of the biggest advantages to milsurp is its cheaper than civi stuff. Yes its heavier, but its heavier duty. And unless youre doing bsckcoutry multi day adventurea, milsurp is perfect for a pack you can get for less than 100 bucks and abuse the crap out of
'Real men should stop bitching about weight.' It's really no big deal for carrying 60, 70 lbs for a couple of miles if you are a healthy man. I have seen tiny women in the service carrying all this shit tone of weight during ruck march. It depends on what you prefer for camping. I want to live like a king in the woods with all the good food, stove, sturdy tent, shovel, axe, knife and so on and it comes with heavy weight of course. It's a great pack for the price. Almost like a gift for poor guys like me who wants to go out there and enjoy nature with some good amount of gears. Thank you for the great video. 👍
With all the innovations in technology you don't have to carry bulky cheap stuff to "live like a king". I know a lot of people who started like you. Doesn't last. They usually don't either. But do you.
@@militarygearjunkie2522 Because I'm thinking about my health long term and you're buying cheap heavy stuff I'm old? Try again. I'm not even half that age.
@@militarygearjunkie2522 is that so? So you asked me about carrying weight and then made a quote about men should stop bitching about weight and I'm the one being a jerk? No sir, YOU opened the door on that. Don't start shit you can't finish.
I like this pack, 60lb is about my camping load...not ultralight but, I won't be cutting my tooth brush or clothes tags to be ultralight. I only keep a 1L bottle to drink long the walk, I use to carry all the water I need, but now i use a water filter ( survivor not the sawyer crap), to get lighter ( for carrying more food!)
Thanks...it's an interesting backpack. In another trip I carried like 70 lbs of gear for me and my two kids on a two night, three day trip. Nearly broke myself. I think I have scars from where the bag wore holes in my hips. But I got the gear there and the bag didn't care about the weight, that's for sure!
Awesome video, love my Molle ll large rucksack, 4 large sustainment pouches, 2 small ones, 1 on each side of belt, just added a ACU fanny pack on the top (not shown), giving me 7,445 cubic inches and a pack out weight of 60 pounds. This was a test fit before cinching up straps. As you mentioned, no problems with this on the trail.
It's a great pack. I need to keep mine in the rotation for those times I need a serious haul. I carried for myself and my two sons for a 3 day trip this past summer. Pack was almost 80 lbs. My hips were bleeding and I literally had open wounds for a couple weeks...it was crazy hard, but I got all that gear almost 6 miles deep into the mountains. But the pack could handle it! not a problem with the pack at all.
Thanks for the review dude...I'm going to be getting my molle II in the mail..but I checked out your opinions about it before I sealed the deal..I used the old large Alice pack when I was in and wasn't sure how these perform
I still use mine for heavy duty trips...I carried 80 lbs about 6 miles into the mountains with my 2 sons this past summer. It was ridiculous...so friggin heavy, but I got there! It's a good pack if you want a heavy duty system...not gonna be your go to for every situation, but it definitely serves its purpose.
It was a good load for sure! I knew going into that hike that we weren't going far and it wasn't too steep. We were only about 2 miles to camp and the rest of the trip I had a daypack to get me to the summit. It worked out having all my tools and camp luxuries on that trip so it was worth the weight in! Thanks for watching!
@@militarygearjunkie2522 because I care about the longevity of my knees. Cute post you made btw. Read half off it. Get over it. Just because the military pays for cheap bulky crap doesn't mean it's the best or really worth doing. Civilian gear is better in comfort, weight, and quality. The only thing that it wins in is durability which is the biggest thing uncle sam worries about.
@@Hertacles What a pessimistic view of life! So pathetic. Just be the way you are. It's your freedom. But dont fuxk around and judge people in your small world. I hope your life gets better. Honestly.
@@militarygearjunkie2522 ha! I didn't even catch this one because you flamed on nonsense from your actual comment. You asked me a question and then made a post with your opening line talking about bitching about weight and then want to call me pathetic. You start it, you stand on it, you own it. Now fuck off.
58 pounds is nothing...ask any marine who has had up to 200 pounds of gear in that thing what he thinks about 58 pounds and he will ask if you were on a picnic. One was cool enough to lock mine down to the frame for me since I had NO clue how...and after hearing him talk? Trust me, you had it good at 58 pounds.
I realize 58 lbs is not a huge amount compared to what it can handle. But I need to give people a reference point as they watch. And 58 lbs is almost double what the typical backpacker carries...so it's a relevant data point. Thanks for watching.

Great video bro! I use the molle2 for my wintertime load out. I prefer the ALICE pack for summertime. Great job!

I guess i missed what you carried you water in?
I just carried a couple one liter bottles...I usually just keep a couple of them with me.
58lbs....💪🏻
Yep...glad I wasn't going too far!! It carried very well, but weight like that never feels good...haha! Thanks for watching!
Good to get out with you pack ATB
Thanks, yeah, was a great trip for sure! Glad to get that out on the trails!
That’s an insane amount of weight. I couldn’t imagine carrying that much.
It was a good load for sure! I knew going into that hike that we weren't going far and it wasn't too steep.
