    I had one in the Army for nine years. The best general use pack ever.

    Thank you for this video. I have been trying to find pictures to get an idea of how the thing sits and haven't been able to find any. Great video!

    Great pack you have there brother. I have an assault pack in woodland camo I have had for years. I carried it daily for quite sometime and it has held up great. I got mine at a gun show in like new condition for 25.00 but again, that was many years ago. They are great packs and hard to beat for the money. Great overview!

      Black Hat Bushcraft thanks brother, I only paid like 40/50 bucks for this one, I would’ve preferred woodland, but none were available until after I ordered this one of course lol. I love military gear, it just holds up good. Thanks brother.

    I found one of these a couple days ago. It was empty sitting up against a trash can by the pumps. This was at a Race trac gas station. This was a great find. Appreciate the info.

      I work at a scrapyard and found a brand spanking new one in the trunk of a scrap car!

    My dad gave me his and I love it. Best pack ever.

    I too have the Molle ii, but I deliver to a Military base and often see these smaller packs and wondered about them. Thanks for the review

    @brianhumphreys1660 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those “ranger straps” you refer to is made to go thru the holes in top that you said is for a water bladder, is actually for parachuting it’s so you can physically attach the pack to your jump harness

    160 buck$ for a Maxpedition and 25 buck$ for a new unused Molle 2 at a flea market . 2 outside molle pouches of different sizes and a waist pack purchased later . I have no idea what the later purchase pouches are for , but they work great for medical gear , water purification and spare ammo . More comfortable than a high dollar Maxpedition and love the Molle 2 as much as the "old" Alice pack . 1971
    Great review Bro .

      SAR TRACKING you can’t beat Military gear, solid, tough, bombproof, and usually at a very good price. I buy it before the buy anything else.

    Cool little pack man...right up my alley. I am a molle/tactical pack kind of guy. Love having options. TFS!

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Triumph Screen Printing yes sir, me too. It's solid. Thanks brother.

  • @inox1ck
    @inox1ck 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It looks simple but it's stylish, it has good fabric, the zippers look good, and I suppose it's lightweight too.

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      inox1ck it is pretty basic, but completely functional. I’m not keen on the camouflage pattern, but the fabric itself is tough. And weight is medium, because it’s such a heavy duty pack.

  • @Chris-qg9rz
    @Chris-qg9rz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I just ordered a used one for 30 odd bucks all in. I'm really excited to have a rock solid bag I can attach my molle canteen pouch, with canteen and flexible sippy straw to. :D

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Chris it’s a great pack, solid and bombproof. I recently dyed mine, to make it blend in better.

    • @Chris-qg9rz
      @Chris-qg9rz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Molle is so great! Between a plate carrier, FLC, and this backpack you can migrate pouches anywhere you want/need. Just be ready to spend on those pouches! Condor stuff is amazing.

    I was using one for a get home bag until someone stole from my car. I'm now using a multi mission pack from the Air Force

  • @jeffseaton5193
    @jeffseaton5193 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yep, that was a good overview of the assault pack. Works great when joined to the molle II to take out on a hike after setting up camp

  • @phantomtroubleshooter2793
    @phantomtroubleshooter2793 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice intro and Pack. I see your comments regularly on the prepping channels, so I subbed. Plus I like Metal.

  • @GigglesClown
    @GigglesClown 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have the desert camo pack, older brother got it for me before he shipped out to iraq and it was great no matter what, through rain sleet or snow it carried 60-70 pound of everything I needed fo 8 years and nothing inside ever got soaked no matter how much I was( the blade guard in the back was great if my scissors or a knife came loose when hiking and I fell

  • @rafaelthetall

  • @maoriboy565
    @maoriboy565 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thinking about picking one of these up, I do some hiking and camping fairly regularly. Looks very rugged and high quality, would you recommend this?

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      G Howe absolutely I recommend it. I’ve been using it since this video, it’s actually pretty comfortable. And you can’t beat good military gear, it’s bomb proof.

    • @maoriboy565
      @maoriboy565 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh and by the way really good videos. Very helpful and informative, keep up the good work brother!

      G Howe thanks brother, that is much appreciated!

  • @Zulutime44
    @Zulutime44 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I too have one of these. FWIW, I like the UCP colors, I don't need much concealment anyway. IMO, the OCP color is ugly, kind of a shxx brown. Very effective for blending in, but for a civilian chic, it looks great. That big US is icing on the cake.

  • @KaylynnStrain
    @KaylynnStrain 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    nice pack and cute kitty. you could attach pouches to hold water bottles, wish I could do that to my Polish army rucksack

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kaylynn Strain thanks, and her name is Ninja, she's a very good cat. Yeah, I plan on adding a few pouches. Those Polish Rucks are really nice. Thanks Kaylynn!

  • @xXSpaceMexicanXx

    I'm thinking of cramming a 3A armor panel in there, what size you think would fit inside snugly?

  • @dsbiddle
    @dsbiddle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    How the eff does the hydration pack go in there? I opened that back section expecting to see the standard bladder pouch and instead I found a mile of web straps and a wierd loopy thing.

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dave Biddle man, I don’t know, somehow it does go in there. That white webbing inside is for when jumping from airplanes.

  • @steelhuskers1794
    @steelhuskers1794 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's a great pack..they make a waist pack that attaches to the bottom of bag, makes it a great set up..I also have the molle 2 large ruck it's a bomb proof set up 👍

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Steelhuskers 1 so far I like it a lot. I actually just got the waist pack today, and already have it attached. A couple of pouches and/or a canteen pouch and it's set. Thanks for watching.

  • @shinypackage8789
    @shinypackage8789 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great pack overview, right for the price. Even though it's on the smaller side I bet it still very robust! I appreciate the look at it my friend something I would definitely consider.

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      shiny packAGe it's bomb proof that's for sure. I've got the large ruck, but wanted this for just day hikes or an overnight. Thanks my friend.

  • @reallyhappenings5597
    @reallyhappenings5597 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I returned mine. Well-made but crudely designed. 5.11 and Maxpedition do it better. The Rush 24 is simply an improved version of this.

  • @Zulutime44
    @Zulutime44 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    On mine, I cut off the airborne straps and the buckles for attaching to a GI large ruck. Excess clutter.

  • @TACHILL
    @TACHILL 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    built like a tank. i got the large alice pack in that camo i found at goodwill.. it's a lil sun faded but mostly i wanted the frame. great overview bro.

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      TAC-HILL thanks brother! Hey, you can't beat gear found at goodwill.

    • @TACHILL

    • @SurvivorMetalMan

      TAC-HILL I've found some, not a lot, but when I do, I grab it up.

  • @toadgravy

    I have the same exact rucksack, and I love it ! It is bomb proof for sure !!

    • @destroyr1247
      @destroyr1247 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Alabama Bushcrafter it is not a rucksack but I guess you can call it that lol. It’s a 3 day assault pack meant to carry a lot less than your typical rucksack. We usually packed ear/eye pro, our ACH, wet weather top/bottom, 4x6 tarp, and 1 pair of socks and our BFAs in them. So, definitely less than what we carried in our rucks.

  • @LivingFrugalAndPrepping
    @LivingFrugalAndPrepping 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I need to get a pack of out that size. I have two ones about half that size the other is about 4 times that size. I used the small one just for going to the grocery store on my bicycle. The big one is for bug out with my bicycle and trailer.

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Living Frugal And Prepping it seems just about the right size for day hikes and overnighters. Thanks brother

  • @MrLuffy9131
    @MrLuffy9131 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is kind of random but there are straps stitched to the back pocket (where you can put the stiffener) inside the backpack, do you know what they are for?

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      K they are for jumping out of airplanes, not sure of their exact use. I leave them in there, in case I need some kind of straps for something in an emergency or whatever.

    • @MrLuffy9131
      @MrLuffy9131 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! Ah I see now, it was kind of weird that they are on the inside rather than on the outside

    • @ashern3920
      @ashern3920 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your has those straps, it's meant for airborne troops as it allows for more ways for one to attach it to the rig.

    • @osker4738
      @osker4738 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    @alexj3631 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice review, i have the USMC 3 day(slightly larger) and ruck and i love it... the digital camo is of course not so great but usmc colors are a little better(darker great for my terrain) than US Army colors. Keep it heavy brother!

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alex J I agree, the Marpat is a decent camo, and I like the USMC pack, I looked at those too. Thanks for watching!

    @herbhunter5520 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I enjoyed watching you discover features I would never have found. Maybe do a longer one showing all the military packs together, with the real items to pack? Although, as I watched, you'd say "Oh, you can put some stuff in here" I said "Nope. Bullets (cartridges) bullets, bullets, bullets...

    @soothingmeow22 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @SurvivorMetalMan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any ideas for the molle on the upper front of the pack ??

    • @SurvivorMetalMan
      @SurvivorMetalMan  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Steelhuskers 1 one of the good thing about molle, is there is literally tons of options for pouches of all sizes. Condor makes several smaller pouches that would be good options, even the USGI waist pouch might be a good option.

  • @swampfox5329
