how would you equip a team if you had a 5 man team on a farm with unlimited ar15s in every multiple configuration, rpks, ks47s, 5 pairs of nods and 2 thermal scopes. plus 20 extra plate carriers and 20 ar15s for recruits

[@trippskits2503]

@Brent0331 is this a viable option to use in lieu of the USMC issued assault pack, especially in combination with a ruck/sustainement pack?

[@laladoodieincarnate]

5:45 but I like looking like a gear bum. Lol

[@ddanj0331]

Been using this exact pack as my main rucking, backpacking, and bug out. Fantastic pack and a really cool company. Thanks for the video

[@calmolly1]

I have a DG3 and it’s a great ruck. It’s one of a few rucks that you can Tab with comfortably without it bouncing around. I would get the floating lid. I had mine tailored and can swap lids out with my DG16. Only complaints I have about the ruck is the water bottle pockets don’t inspire confidence that the water bottle will stay. Crossfire, I saw in Sweden, will be bringing out a model of the DG3 with removable side pouches similar to the PLCE Bergen but using a system similar to the old Artkis . I already told Crossfire I want one lol. It’s on their website if you want to take a peek. My DG3 is at the tailors having PLCE zippers fitted in order to attach my PLCE side pouches. I also have the DG1 daysack. Crossfire have a neat PALS attachment system. This allows me to attach the day sack to the main ruck and use it a beaver tail. Then when I’m at a patrol base I can drop the DG3, unhook the DG1 and patrol with it alone. I have also used the HPG Tara pocket and Palspocket on the DG3. The ruck lends itself to modularity to suit your mission Crossfire make a ruck for the warfighter and actually listen to our feedback.

[@americanpatriot6918]

OUTSTANDING review! I bought the Crossfire DG-16 about a year and a half ago when they had a 30% off sale. Best rucksack I own! So many features! Love it!!😎👍👍

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@TAVAAR7]

I've seen a bunch of reviews on these packs over the last handful of months, I like the design and all the thought that went into it. However this review is by far the most in depth and informative one I've seen and I like the packs potential even more now. 👍

[@Brent0331]

Appreciate it brother.

[@gregzivic8184]

Love your channel marine, I'm a usmc veteran 0311 golf 2/7 ,I like how this back will sit above your 782 gear like the alice pack would, I think I might have to invest in this dg3 I've been doing a lot of humping lately just to stay in shape, semper fi

[@Ramcharger2Travel]

Awesome thanks, I was thinking about a Savotta..but I may of just changed my mine.

[@NONEYAZ]

Awesome, I Love The Versatility Of The Mollies Designed Pack! I Wish They Made Something Between The 55L And The 110L Packs, Like An Expandable 65-75 Liter Pack With A Rain Cover Built In A Bottom Outer Compartment Facing The Donners/Persons Back And Unfolding Out Around Back Of Pack Bottom On Securing Upward Covering To The Top, That Would Be Awesomer, Lol! 😎

[@ChrisC30]

Had this pack for about a year. It is roughly the same volume and size as my Kifaru Zulu. Frankly, I love it. I use the side webbing to attach FILBE sustainment pouches and expand versatility. The center zip makes this pack excellent for various roles and purposes. You can access anything quickly.

[@AJXR6T]

I’ve owned a DG3 for about 2-3 years now and love it

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Nicely done, both rucksack looks great, an excellent organisation for your kit. Thanks for sharing. Atb Andy 🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸

[@timlongstreet1801]

Great review,I have been looking for a new pack that could serve in different roles of work. My wife and I still hike hike and do other things with Alice pack but this is the first modern one I like. The current Army ruck is not as comfortable and adjustable.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

Go head and click that like button if you or someone you know has clothesline themselves with the sternum strap after hitting the quick release 😂😂😂 Great video Gunny 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Brent0331]

Thanks, I'm actually a 1stSgt now.

[@ShamblesDoctor]

I find my DG3 slightly too small, but very cool design features. Using the dual kidney pads, it's actually decent to wear while pedaling a bike

[@americanpatriot6918]

If you want something in between the 110 liter pack and this one. Try the DG-16. It's the perfect size in my opinion. And when you add a few sustainment pouches on the front and sides, you really give yourself plenty of room for your gear!!

[@MTwoodsrunner]

[@user-qh5cf6sb1f]

Such a badass review

[@djdrack4681]

From my standpoint as somebody who preps, but civ, great content as always. Considering the prices though, I gotta ask: have you ever considered doing a video of comparing packs? IE - a mil-issue Molle II Large Rucksack (or the Med/Lrg British (is it DPM Woodland Rucksack? The one you see everywhere in woodland at similar prices to Molle II Rucks)but sorta of "gucci'd out" with either DIY approaches, improved padding on frame, better pouches, etc. Vs. - The ~$300 pack VS. - The $500-700 pack like these *Ofc all the gear your putting in it doesn't go into/attaching to it doesn't go into price comparison. Just thought I'd throw it out there as one of those videos showcasing pros/cons of the different tiers. Like quality of the materials, zippers vs velcro, frames, modularity etc. I got a Molle II lrg ruck as a 'budget' ruck, but have modded it a bit. Sewed better molle layout on bottom for attaching bottom pouches, better molle on the flap, sewed/glued velcro on top of inside for rip-off ifaks/shoulder ammo packs etc to hold em in place, replaced some of the clips/buckles, and better padding for shoulder part of frame. $100 for pack, maybe $50-70 for the aftermarket external/internal pouches, and maybe $50 for velcro, buckles, molle webbing etc. Sure I could have gone with a newer, better off-the-shelf pack in that $250-400 range, but firm believer part of prep/survival/LRP/recce is adapt/overcome aspects, with a general 'DIY or die' thought.

[@0bserver416]

Leaving a comment won't hurt this great channel. ;)

[@Brent0331]

[@TheRoykmann]

Thank you for draggin my eyes on this company. Outstanding stuff. But before I purchase one I'd like to ask - what colour variation do you use ? Is it Ranger Temperate or Ranger Tropical?

[@ilovepotatos]

Karrimore also does something similar with less modular but same weight carrying ability in a Grey Man type scenario.

[@kidbach]

Out-effin'-standing pack. I would love the slick version but, 349 Somalians would make my wallet cry. I wonder if the Navy FCU would float me a loan. Lol. Thanks for sharing, you Mighty Awesome Devil Dog. ERRAH!!!

[@JJO117]

The way you installed the helmet is Wrong As it's backward and it seems to make it slower to remove the helmet if it was placed on properly but it's not a Bad idea as it will cover any Identifying Patches etc or reflective equipment.
