LBT Inc 3 Day Pack - 30 litre Military Assault Backpack

[@sunriseenterprise6335]

Thank you for the review! This pack has been my edc for almost 4 years. I've done 3 day camping trips with it, carrying all of my gear + food. I've carried over 60lbs in it while rucking, though not comfortably. On and off motorcycles, in and out of vehicles and with way more weight than it was designed to carry and still hasn't even so much as busted a stitch. Bulletproof is one way to describe it, but no, this is Marine proof. I have a lot of packs but this is the one that gets used every single day. It's worth every penny of your hard earned money. My only complaints about it are that it doesn't carry well if you're not carrying much, as there isn't much organization. If your edc is just a laptop, water bottle, gummi bears, speedos and charging cords, this might not be the pack for you. If you want a pack you can live out of and will last for the rest of your life, this might be the one.

I think you've summed it up pretty well there SE. I find this pack always surprises me when I grab it to go out walking. Having quite a few bags that arer always getting tested and reviewed, it's grea to grab a bag like this and stuff some stuff in and get out... Maybe some Haribo instead of Gummy Bears 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting. I have you're well and having a great week

This particular design is still one of the best in my opinion. I have owned three or four over the years. I have given some as gifts because I believe in the design. Good stuff here.

[@TheMrconchetumadre]

The weird shape of the 1476: The lower part of the backpack is intended to fit a little sleepingbag/bivvy, without interfering with the main pocket! Its truly amazing how much that little space can handle.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Aaaaaah... that makes perfect sense. Thanks Nicolas. I love learning about packs like this and massively appreciate the lesson here. I'll start using that space for things when I'm out walking. Thanks again my friend. I hope you're well and having a great week

There is a company called Blackhawk that makes a copy of this bag. Both LBT, Blackhawk, etc. Were contracted to make this kind of gear for special forces teams before, during, and even now after the war on terrorism. In military packs, it is desired for the weight to be placed low on the back, and the use of hips to carry the load. This is done for stability, while on patrol. (Skip the USMC molle pack as it is a nightmare to use) I have a copy of this bag, and it is shaped that way for storage in a vehicle, so it does not flop around, it also is meant to use a hip belt which is why the bag might be uncomfortable.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Great comment. Thanks for the insight

[@DarkFire515]

The LBT 3DAP is a classic pack. Great review as always!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi Cen. Thanks my friend. The woods were so hot yesterday. I love testing out these military made packs to see how well the work for normal day to day life. Consider g it wasn't designed to be, it makes a great EDC daily pack. Have you had some LBT gear before?

[@DarkFire515]

@@MoorlanderEDC Yes, years ago I had an LBT pack. Can't remember which now but it may have been an early version of the 3DAP. Ended up selling it to a colleague which I've regretted ever since.

[@ThorElsson]

Yay!!! It’s landed … can watch it before I get off to bed. My Sunday is now complete

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Getting this up has been a nightmare 🤣 here at long last my friend 👍

[@unaffiliatedperson]

i bought a black one years ago felt like 1000D nylon, very crunchy and abrasive and my MAS grey one is much lighter and softer.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hey Brandon, yes agreed. It's definitely lighter than a 1000d for sure. Thanks for watching fella

[@davidcooper6704]

The rucksack is a similar to my 35 litre Dutch army grab/3 day assault bag which is availbable in surplus stores at around £35.00. I picked mine up in near mint condition, except for the typical storage military smell, which thankfully has almost gone. The quality is good but I now find it a little too big for my emergency kit which I carry in the car and which I am trying to minimise. However it makes a great overnight bag and if I sell it I'm sure I'll regret it.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi David. I didn't realise that was where this design came from until I made this content. I think Helikon Tex also make a similar version too. Always good to see that these one designs are still used today... a nice piece of history

[@rustyjocsen5260]

i have the same. dutch high quality bag. for edc , you are right 5-8 liter fewer would be great. but is a great pack

[@duper1025]

Very similar to my Eagle Industries A-III pack. I Love it!!

[@DoomOfConviction]

Savotta really has the best most comfortable waist belts and they are just webbing without any soft materials but the packs in that volume range have small and soft pillow shaped padding on the backpack itself that uses the belt just to fasten in at your body and idk why it’s working so great but it’s the best system for my body to take stress from the shoulders without interfering my feeling of freedom thats often hindered by warrior belt like waist belts.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi DoC. Savotta is a brand I'm been meaning to test out for a while now. All I've heard is good things about that. I think as I like a balance of outdoors as well as EDC the JÄÄKÄRI 20 or 25ltr looks great as a cross over pack for week day chores and weekend adventures. I think LBT really knew they hadn't spent enough thought on this waist belt, or else they'd have done something more permanent. It's almost as they said 'Meh, this will do... but if we leave this large 2 in D ring, people can fit on their own". It's strange that they even added it really. Hopefully one day I'll have a Savotta piece of content here. Hope you're having a great week my friend

[@geanhitchcock1170]

you could make some straps and g hooks to lash down from the pals webbing to the rear or the buckle webbing. black hawk use to make side rocket pouches to attach to the side.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Aaaaaah... you and I may have plenty of G hooks lying around to make such a rig, however... 😄 That's a very fair point Gean, and easy enough. I think if they plan possible changes to the pack, this would be on my list. I hope you and your family are all good my friend. Have a great week

[@geanhitchcock1170]

@@MoorlanderEDC maybe put it to them and on the 2.0 version they could do that ( give us each one for coming up with the idea)

[@geanhitchcock1170]

the metal clip on the strap dates back to the alice pack i believe

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi Gean. Thanks for the heads up. I had to Google that pack. It's a new one to me, however I'm a knowledge sponge when it comes to packs and rucksack. I'll have another look on my lunch today. Have a great week buddy

[@Agabus04]

Finally - thank you so much

[@MoorlanderEDC]

You're more than welcome Aga. Glad it's online 👍 have a great week buddy

[@Pori9392]

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed this more than I thought I would… when I saw it my immediate impressions were “another awful MOLLE covered pack” but credit where credit is due it seems to be well thought out. From a design point of view the only thing I dislike it’s the tapered design… but each to their own. I use a KarrimorSF Predator 30 for the cheeky overnighters in the woods, it’s not a cheap bag and is considered the best of the best in military circles as is the Sabre45 that I also own but there are things about this pack that have impressed me that I wish was on my Karrimor. Mainly underneath attachment points, and that grab handle design. The grab handles on the Sabre 45 are however second to none… I’m quite sure it can be used to tow a car with 😂 Just to add… if Helikon Tex are reading this I hope to god they send to you their Bushcraft Essentials Kit Bag, I swear to you it’s the mother of EDC bags.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's definitely a great pack. I need to check out more from Karrimor. I still have one of my first ever packs from them in the early 90s. The essential bag is definitely on my list of things to test out. Tganks for commenting my friend

[@deepnineforty5646]

I know this is an old video but i think the larger section is for a light sleeping bag.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Always happy to hear from people no matter when. Yes, somebody else mentioned the space for a bed roll. Love learning about these bags and their original intended military use

Talking about backpacks Varusteleka brand makes 2 packs one large one small that might fit your needs for quite cheap

[@ricklee2619]

Hi may i know how does this compare to the Multicam Gr1 and which do u prefer?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hmmmmm... I'm going ot give you a typical on the fence answer here in that they're very different packs. The GR1 is as tough as they come, however you're limited on how well you can pack it. With the 1000d cordura you're already starting off with a reasonably heavy pack.... BUT! It'll keep you safe from a nuclear blast 😆 The LBT pack is a lot lighter and gives you more choice as far as packing. It's a tried and test3ed design going back decades. It's still tough, however with the reduced denier on the material it's a lot lighter. The compression straps on the side also really help to manage the weight as you can fit three days with of stuff in (way more than the GR1). They're both great packs. I hope that helps Rick

[@papamike88]

The most funny thing is when people thinks that this kind of 3-day packs (Blackhawk! LBT, Camelbak etc.) is designed to carry an equipment for 3 days of living. Of course we all know that's the real purpose of this type of packs.

3 day pack? Yes.... but you WILL be ruffing it if you choose to live out of this bag for 3 days! It's built for the sole purpose of living light and moving fast!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi Elizabeth, I hope you're well. You're spot on. This is 100% a piece of military equipment. The design of the original bag from decades ago has definitely changed to modern bags to help with getting equipment in there. I think a lot of military backpack manufacturers are really thinking more about usage in the military, but also for civilian/EDC use as they're becoming even more popular. Maybe I'm a bit of a masochist and love to test out these for EDC. Do you have a favourite pack to use for a 72 hour trip? Or even for EDC? Thank you for watching and commenting

Hey Dude, Thanks for another solid review. I have to say, this doesn't tick any of my boxes for an edc pack. Just seems like there are better options for most situations. Over engineered grab handle, but very average design work on the rest of the pack. I'd still go Helikon Tex edc every time. Thanks anyway though mate.

Hi Dan, as always, you're more than welcome.
