Damn I bought the ones from fox outdoors and they're really not that great. Theyre connected at the top so it makes it uncomfortable to wear because it hurts my neck.

Your videos along with some others on youtube helped convince me to get myself an ALICE pack and frame. Only had it a week and its already the best backpack i've ever owned. i plan on modding it and creating something to be proud of. thanks for your videos and inspiration, Nick.

That's awesome! I'm glad my videos have helped. It seems like more and more people lately have been switching from plate carriers to LBE ALICE type equipment.

If I did need more water or needed things like NVG’s I didn’t like the ILBE but the “assault pack” from that system was good to go. you could throw all the extra stuff for longer durations away from the vehicles.

Nice video Nick I didn't even know they made these , are they actually Military issue like nsn number is real? Also they look more flimsy or softer compared to standard 3 round Alice Mag pouches.
@collectornick427013 күн бұрын
They're a little flimsy but I think that's because of how wide they are. I do not believe these are issued I think they are commercially made and my guess is the NSN is probably fake or taken from another item.

It does. All of the stitching is great, and so is the hardware. But it's definitely commercial made. My guess is the early 2000s or early 2010s.

Canteens: you can get Nalgene canteens in the 1 quart USGI form factor. The water tastes a lot better from Nalgene than whatever the plastic was used in the military canteens. The Nalgene models are "Sustain" and "Oasis".
