I found mine at a local PTA thrift shop in like new condition in a box full of book bags I always check out. Paid $12.00 for it and had to listen to my wife ask why I need another bag all the way home . When I showed her what they were going for online she gave me a "well done." High praise indeed considering the source!
RedDeltaOne did you sell it at the sucker price?
I've been using my ILBE Assault Pack for YEARS now as an EDC pack.
It just won't die.
The nickname I heard the most was, "Turtle shell" I love these packs. Basic, simple and always got the job done!
Excellent review! I have one of these since at least 5 years, and it's still in great condition, even after use in military condition. Very durable and versatile bag! Nothing fancy in it but job is done without any kind of failure even after all these years of use and abuse.
Glad to hear you are going to review military surplus equipment. Look forward to Wednesday's. Thanks.
Good review. Looking forward to more surplus videos. Thanks for sharing.
Military Wednesday's are a major highlight to the week. As always would love to see you review a Direct Action Dragon Egg. Maybe a vs with another pack of similar size. Keep up the good work
great mate . looks great easy too use . thanks too you an yours .
I got one 4 years ago ( used condition ) and it's still with me today. really well built pack
awesome review luke i believe i will be buying me one
Great vid Luke!
I own both complete sets of filbe and ilbe and I have to say the filbe assault pack is definitely the way to go. It's my main bushcraft bag. It's a beast. I have two sustainment pouches on both sides of my filbe and also have the assault pouch attached to the front. On some outings I even attach the filbe hydration pack onto the outside of the assault pack. I absolutely love it. With the attachment of the hydration pouches on the side it creates a place to slip a small axe or other gear.
Look forward to the versus should be informative. Great video as always.
I love having the variety, I like having packs with tons an tons of pockets all over and I also like very simple packs like this, one or two pockets, just depends in the moment of what kind of backpacking or hiking trip I want, that also goes for weight, I like going very heavy, to nothing very light weight to nothing at all. -Jake
I would like to see a shootout between the ARMY Improved Combat Shelter Vs. the USMC Hunker 1 tent from mountain hardware. I thought this was one of your best videos yet (I specifically liked the way you gave the weight and dimensions of the pack, and I like the way you showcased it by displaying it on those branches I would stick with that format) . I am also a military surplus collector. Although, I do not have this specific piece yet. Love the videos! Thanks!
By the way everyone love Army Vs. Marine Corps. when it comes to gear, just wanted to suggest that as a theme, for certain episodes of Military Surplus Wednesday. Keep the videos comin' they entertain me at work!
I was lucky enough to use the ALICE packs in MCRD San Diego/Pendleton, ILBE in Iraq, FILBE in Afghanistan. I have the ILBE system in the garage that I use for camping now. I do miss the FILBE era bivy, with the mosquito screen! Something about sleeping on the ground, watching stars, and evading bugs.
Another great video
Nice review... thanks
Would love to see some Canadian gear reviews. 👍military Wednesday
Ive got one as a car GHB. i also have an Everyday Hydration pack on the molle panel. I can put my ilbe hydration pack in it. Easier to get out than inside the pack. Also have 2 sustainment pouches on side for other gear including, thanks to TOGR, 64 oz Kleen Kanteen. Only draw back is that the pack does absorb sweat from my back but its a minor thing. Overall well worth it. I also got a great shape pack cheap at the time on ebay
I have this my grandpa gave it to me he was in the marines during the 70s it’s not in the best condition but it gets the job done
Have you done a review on the Army's Molle 2 system? It was what was available to me when I was replacing my ALICE Rucksacks.
I love my ILBE assault pack. More so than my FILBE assault pack. just wish it had more organization. Still a great range bag/ truck bag.
very cool
Luke so whats the verdict on the U.S army tent? Its its been 3 years since you have reviewed it and im still waiting eagarly. lol
Just FYI you can occasionally get the whole ILBE set NEW for under $150 on Sportsman's Guide. Keep an eye out.
For a similiar sized back that offers more organization and better back ventilation, look at the Camelbak MilTac HAWG
Glad i got mine for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I have one of these but missing the plastic stiffner that lines the back and have not been able to find any anywhere. Might just have to see if home depot carries a similar flexible plastic and make a cut out to fit the pack.
The holes on top are for hydration hose and or antenna.
Nice condition gen 1!
you should do the US Army Issue Multicam External Frame Medium Rucksack.
Oh yeah... ...Strength and Honor!
I have the same one except for some reason it doesn't have the waist strap, just the sternum strap.
It is my most used day pack
donde puedo comprarla ?? soy de El Salvador.
gracias por la info.
Honor y Fortaleza !
The back of the pack was designed flat to be specifically worn over body armor for vehicle born operations. most of us devils used them for MRE's, spare ammo and "accessories". still have mine and use it as a range bag. but for overnighters i prefer the Army molle 2 assault pack.
Maybe sometime you could review an external frame pack because that is what I prefer. Probably you would have to get a used one as I don't know if anyone makes one anymore. Mine is a Kelty Super Tioga that they stopped making in 2006. It is still as good as new and doesn't feel like you are carrying a hot bag on your back. It was purchased for $30 at an estate sale from people who thought that backpacks are for school books.
I bought two sets of ILBE packs about 8-10 years ago, used but NICE condition, for $65 on ebay! Both the main BIG one and this smaller one. Has anyone adapted this onto some type of small frame?
I own a used one in good condition but it has either a blood or sweat stain on it and it's a little hard to tell but it is still good
Hey Luke when is the last military overnighter coming out ? The one you just filmed with the green truck ???
yeah!!!!
Was looking at the USMC coyote packs, those are going for about $40 on eBay. I’m wondering if they’ll shoot up to the $100’s in a few years as well. Might have to invest in one too lol
Hey Luke, what are your thoughts on the Kelty Falcon 4000 pack?
Please do one on the Army pack
I have an old well-used ILBE 3-Day Assault Pack with a damaged main zipper. I've been trying to find a replacement zipper I can have sewn on, but for the life of me I can't find the nomenclature for it. I've purchased several replacement pull kits, but the largest size pull they had was for #10, and I'm sure the zipper on the ILBE is much bigger than that. I'd prefer to replace the whole zipper if possible, and it appears to be a coil zipper but I can't figure out which one. Also, most of the zippers for sale on Ebay are black. Is there a YKK zipper that's at least close? Seems to be 28" and it's a 2-way coil zipper.
Hi Luke, I bought one of these packs without the plastic frame. Is it worth buying the frame or notThanks
Are the holes for antannas?
JSDF standard back pack if you could get your hands on one, if not let me know I can get one for review.
One other side note, in a previous video, I heard you refer to FILBE as "Fancy" Improved Load Bearing Equipment. Fancy? Really Luke? (Just kidding) The correct acronym is Family of Improved Load Bearing Equipment and the "Family" part is because it is designed to work with previous generations of MOLLE gear, such as the MOLLE, MOLLE II, or the ILBE "Families" of gear. With the correct adapters, you can even attach ALICE gear to it. Also, the gen 4 MOLLE II Rucksack usually has the old school ALICE style webbing added on in certain places, to more easily facilitate fastening without the need for "MALICE" adapters (I just learned this recently when I got one). Also: FYI you may often notice on some packs, there is space between the pocket, and the body of the pack, to insert or mount additional items (for example the large outer pockets on the Medium and Large ALICE Pack), this is known as a "Tunnel" or "Tunneling". The PAL system (Pocket and Ladder-Attachment System), which is employed in all MOLLE gear, is often designed to created this effect. Note: not all fasten-able (MOLLE/PALS) pockets have this feature, but it's best represented by the MOLLE Sustainment pouch, and I believe also, the 200rd SAW/Large utility pouch. Hope the length of this comment did not casue you to skip it, and hope I helped any viewers who may be interested in this information. Again, thanks for the videos!
Whats your opinion of the medium alice pack with the aluminum frame?
I carried one for 20 years. ALICE rules.
how about the ilbe recon pack that one is bigger than ilbe 2 generation
It would probably make your back pretty sweaty.
High ground gear 3 day pack it’s awsome and there are not a lot of reviews on it
I liked the filbe AP better so that's my vote
Yey more milsurps! :D
I was happy to hear 25usd :(
prefer all my military bags over the civilian ones, love my ilbe........
same . they may not be as light or as fancy but you can damn near fit half your barracks room into them and head out to the field . it fun to see these things fall off of vehicles and get drug down the road or bounced off of trees when and still be just fine
amen, brother.......good enough for the US military, its good enough for me
That pack doesn't really look any better than my Fieldline 32L.for $20! Thanks for the look Luke. ZZ.
Well the material , zips , and buckles are far superior to start with ...
Looking forward to the ILBE vs FILBE and Military Surplus Wednesdays
Colmans military surplus has them for 59.00
Canadian gear please
sounds like varusteleka
for $25 it is 👍
I won't touch anything made by Propper. I got one of their backpacks couple of months ago and it fell apart the other day
What pack was it John? I've had good luck so far with all of my Propper gear.
- Luke
Hi Luke, it was the Expandable backpack. The part of the shoulder strap that connects to the adjusters on the bottom came apart. While I was biking the stitches just popped and came apart. I took it to a tailor. Hopefully they will be able to fix it
are you ilbechung?
I have gen 2 ILBE and Assault pack on the back of my Assault pack i have a sustainment pouch and one saw pouch each sides it works well that way i do like the packs ,
Didn't you just review this pack a few years ago? I know you did!
I did the main pack but not the Assault pack....or at least I think that's true. :D - Luke
I think it was a comparison in the differences between the FILBE and ILBE assault pack Luke. But then old age may be getting the best of both of us! One of the benefits of going senile is that our old friends will become new friends - again.
$130 is 'really expensive'..?....so what would one call the Arcteryx Charlie at $300-$500...lol
6 foot 4 that will not work for me
this pack has horribly uncomfortable shoulder straps. they dig in ur neck muscles and rib cages.
@Isomatte I had the same misconception for wearing backpacks, 'high is good, low is bad.' I agree with your thoughts.
I got FILBE and MOLLE2 assault packs with wide and thin shoulder straps. Super comfortable.
@Isomatte Both are comfortable packs but I prefer FILBE. I like the organization and modular design of it. I added battle belt on the waist belt now I can transfer the weight onto my hips. It's even more comfortable with heavier loads. You should try it, too. 👍
You do have a habit of saying...
$500 for the patrol pack? You are shitt***g me, right?
He meant for the Charlie pack made by arcteryx which is incredibly hard to get hands on as they wasn’t out for long there’s not much of a difference apart from material if I’m correct the Charlie came in coyote woodland and multicam whilst the Charlie was made and designed by arcteryx the ilbe assault pack was only designed by arcteryx so the Charlie is stupidly rare that’s why the price is so crazy as they didn’t make them for long
