In this video I review the mil tec 36L molle assault pack. This backpack is a great budget bushcraft and camping pack that does not sacrifice quality for price. It is a great pack for solo overnights, day hikes, school bags, camping and even several day overnight hikes. It is lightweight, comfortable, made with durable material, waterproof and cost effective. The 36L mil tec comes with a variety of colors with mine being the olive drab. This is available on amazon, however it takes a long time to arrive when you order.
You will not be disappointed with this backpack I can assure you!
Cheers Dave

[@lazy347]

Finally someone made a video of himself wearing the actual backpack for scaling measure THANKS!

[@TheDaveDryden]

No problem glad it helped. cheers dave

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

I hear that. I don't know why companies don't show them on a person in the pics on websites. Yeah they give the dimensions but you can't visualise how big they are IRL.

[@TraceyTruly]

Great review! Helped me make my decision on getting one of these. Agree with other commenters, seeing it worn and how it was packed is really useful. Also those mossy woods were gorgeous!

[@MrDaron777]

Nice and detailed review, you should get supported by Mil-Tec, I am sure thank to you a lot of people have purchased this backpack, ordering it now. Have a good day pal.

[@spyrothedragon3431]

Just bought one of these for my perch fishing off the back of this review! Thanks Man

[@samnorris7693]

I saw enough to see the utility of this backpack & I definitely want one! Thanks!

[@deepsticksbushman8698]

Cool vid man. I like the pack too. Just picked one up today and just finished packing it up and it is an awesome little pack. I have all the essentials in it and still have plenty of room for extras. Great video. Keep at it brother. Cheers!

[@nicksmith7552]

Greetings from Alberta....I’m looking at the MIL TECH reviews after I got the pack.....but I’m happy with how it sounds. thanks for The review.

[@gracjansocha2375]

love this backpack! i bought mine in 2016 and it holds perfectly fine today!

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

This was very helpful my thanks, definitely on my to-buy list, love its system design-wise, very civilian looking despite military specifications in it,

[@Janhartman74]

Thanks for the review, very dedicated that you named your dog molly

[@goldenblooms6672]

Awesome video! I love how you stuffed it with items so we can see the actual size like the blanket roll in the biggest compartment for length, the stainless steel water bottle and first aid kit in the next largest compartment. It really helps

[@TheDaveDryden]

no problem, still plenty of space in there and on the bag too

[@limitless1692]

That is a nice backbag I think i am going to get it from Amazon Thanks for the review

[@km.productions]

Nice review!!!!!

[@X_explorer]

Nice channel! I like looking earth, discover and slow down...

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

Ive had mine for 7 years and its been brilliant!, mines full of battle scars and rips now but the zips are still fantastic. I had a cheap Kombat UK branded one which was utter garbage compared to the Mil tec one. the clips broke on the Kombat one in a month and whos genius idea was it to have the shoulder straps supported by clip buckles? (no weight loading at all on the crappy Kombat one). I really want a maxpedition bag but im really struggling to justify one when the Mil tec bag is such a tough bag, I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

[@LeeRalph100]

Good Review!! Great pack. Love this pack!!! Mine shipped from Ireland..it took awhile..but not near as long as I thought it would. I think you will really like this pack. I have done 3 videos about this pack...in one I made a modification to the pack so now I can carry my MSS bag underneath. It carries well. I hope you would give them a look. Have fun with this pack...I know you will enjoy it

[@TheDaveDryden]

+Lee Ralph (Pathway to Self Reliance) Thanks Lee, Ill take a look for sure. I have already watched your review on this guy right around when I got it :) cheers

[@ortiko]

Nice job !!! Keep on my fraind. Greetings from Greece

[@jimmd56]

Excellent review! Can someone tell me which version is stronger/harder wearing: this MOLLE one or the laser cut pack? Thanks.

[@kylesheridan8835]

brilliant video, really helpfull

[@TheDaveDryden]

Cheers!

[@jonnyboat2]

I have an old Jansport pack I used in college that has about that much space and is built like that. I paid 100 or more for it. I still use it. I never hiked with it. It’s still practically new.

[@mayacakil]

Nice video! I have the same one and i really love it. Learned some tricks from you to organize it better. What is your camera by the way? Cheers

[@TheDaveDryden]

Just using a Nexus 5 cell phone 😀

[@rgmprepper]

Nice bag!

[@craftywildcamps]

Great bag. I had a slightly smaller version, had it a while no problems. Just upgraded (needed a slightly bigger pack) I only went for a different make only because of a slightly better design. Still a great bag, you don't really need to pay maxpedition prices! Cheers Steve.

[@TheDaveDryden]

+C Veg (Bushcraft) ya I like it a lot and I basically got that instead of the maxpedition stuff too lol. I have a 60L bag but I rarely use it because I don't often go for those 5 day+ type hikes anymore. So basically this is perfect for everything else.

[@josefkopka69]

Hello super video. Thank you.

[@73FORGE]

I just bought the 40L pack comes with the chest strap now, great pack for a great price! Just going through some of your older vids brother, have a great week

[@TheDaveDryden]

BUSHCRAFTER 1973 nice that's good to know, put a review up since your back on the vids!! 😁 haha nice I cringe at some of my earlier stuff but I had to learn somewhere

[@73FORGE]

Dude I cringe every time I upload, I'm horrible at reviews but maybe

[@tyronewalker5764]

Where did find 40L model?

[@woodlandsnorth]

Looks like a decent pack at a decent price. Nice find.

[@TheDaveDryden]

definitely a pretty solid pack, I think it's gone up since I got it.

[@sogsniper8504]

I have 2 back pack but 2018 Back pack and i like them very much

[@Scriptures_K]

Appreciate the review, I was hesitant to pick one up - might just go for it now.

[@danielmcpherson9062]

Did you?

[@Scriptures_K]

@@danielmcpherson9062 Late response, sorry. But yes, I did! The backpack is awesome; can fit a bunch, and is very comfy to wear too.

[@danielmcpherson9062]

@@Scriptures_K awesome! Thanks!

[@ArunSaha9]

Hey Dave thanks for the review. Could you please post the Amazon Link in the description? This way we can easily find the right stuff right away and you can also get a small commission from Amazon if it is purchased using the link. a real win-win situation!

[@xenofyl1]

Amazon is evil. I suggest you support you local retailer! You should be able to find one around where you live. Peace

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

I have the same pack I bought it on Amazon I've been caring it around sort of in my work vehicle as a EDC bag and it was pretty Loaded

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

It failed the stitching around the zippers he did receive some fairly heavy use but I wouldn't say that it was major use

[@HpsOutdoors]

Really cool pack! thanks for sharing - Hps-Outdoors

[@TheDaveDryden]

thank you hps

[@HpsOutdoors]

+BC Bushcraft No worries mate

[@moderncrusader9882]

I have the same in woodland. I dont know the material that os made. I think its from polyester. Any way i use it to carry big heavy books and i am absolutly happy from this. Its very cheap(from europe you can get it for only 30 euros) and very strong

[@nil4309]

Great review how is the pack holding up with use now? i have seen a few reviews of people saying it started falling apart after continuous use...?

[@TheDaveDryden]

it's still going strong I haven't had an issue yet

[@walden6272]

I have been looking for a good bug out backpack and this one looks great. Thanks for showing how much it can fit. What color is that pack?

[@TheDaveDryden]

I think it was olive green, I've had it for about a year now and I've done several overnights and lots of camping trips with it. has been holding up great, you'll like it

[@user-iz7dr1yv8q]

Дружище! Оранжевую скатку можно было закрепить на боку рюкзака или под низом за длинные стяжки, тогда освободилось бы место в рюкзаке, для чего нибудь еще!☝🤠👍

[@diynevala]

Just ordered mine in black. I think you could open up the straps on the bottom and pull them out of the webbing to make the bottom strap loops bigger. I mean at 2:46, the straps go over your hand but under some webbing.

[@TheDaveDryden]

I'll take a look at that and let you know. been using this bag quite a bit though and have nothing to complain about

[@diynevala]

+BC Bushcraft Mine will arrive today, so I'll find out about that soon enough. Just pointing out the possible solution. My assault pack will just be a judo bag, or maybe a general every day carry. I also have a chest strap bag, custom made for this pack! It will attach on the shoulder straps to distribute weight more evenly, and provide a fast-access pouch for maybe a cellphone and a wallet.

[@TheDaveDryden]

+diynevala Nice, ya I have made my own fix for the chest strap. it actually isn't too bad wearing it with just the hip strap, the hip strap takes a lot of weight off the shoulders. definitely and awesome day bag

[@diynevala]

+BC Bushcraft Couple of days behind and I already love this pack. I transferred all essential stuff from my previous bag (more of a laptop-bag style) to this new backpack, and still got room for the judogi or other equipment, depending on the situation. I'll just unload/load the main pocket and keep essentials packed regardless of where I am going. The only downside on using the front pockets is that the backpack tends to tip forward when the main pocket is empty.

[@TheDaveDryden]

+diynevala sweet glad it's working out, it definitely has a surprising amount of space to work with

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

I have this exact pack and just recently semi retired it in favor of my modded Swedish LK35 frame pack, modded with Canadian Forces 82 pattern shoulder harness and American Alice kidney pad and belt. A few tips about the Mil-tec pack, don't bother with a water bladder-stick your Fiskars X7 in there. Also, get yourself some external water bottle pouches like the ones that Military 1st sells on Ebay with a draw string top. Draw string because you can fit ANY size water bottle in it and they are about $25 Canadian and free shipping. That will make a ton of room in your pack and you will be amazed just how long you can last in one of those little packs!

[@TheDaveDryden]

+TurtleWolf Pack I have taken notice of some of those external pouches you talk of and I just might have to get one now haha. Thanks for the tips much appreciated

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

BC Bushcraft Any time! They are awesome packs, I used mine daily for a few years and it still has tons of life left. More than likely it will be pressed back into service at some future date.

[@diynevala]

+TurtleWolf Pack Here in Finland, we have an old village called Fiskars, and it is the original home of the high quality scissors and axes. When ever those axes are mentioned, it makes me so proud of the Finnish products - not just axes, but all domestic stuff. They are pricey, but high quality.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

diynevala Are some of the saws still made in Finland? All I ever see these days are the Chinese made ones.

[@diynevala]

+TurtleWolf Pack I am really not sure anymore, as lot of factories close down and production is moved to some cheap countries... Anyway a lot of businesses are owned by foreign people so... I am sad.

[@adriankovacs4133]

Does anyone know what the weight capacity of the backpack is in case someone wants to load it with heavy plates?

[@huettenleben83]

Weisst du wie ich die 3 Liter Trinkblase korrekt in dem Rucksack anbringe?

[@menschgebliebenerablenkung1180]

2.45 or you just put the band out of the molle loops on the bottom and you get extra space.

[@lapescuitcubucsa3627]

can i put my patches on it ?? do they stay on good ???????

[@georgemichas3393]

This or a tac maven or a brandit cooper?

[@M.L.764]

Hi. Molle vs laser cut?

[@Guy1105Fawkes]

I don't know if you will reply, but I'll try :) could you please give me the measurements of the backpack? I'm buying off of Amazon but sizes seem to be confused (and confusing). I need to know the correct measurements for the 36l version. Thanks

[@liamsteele4982]

is the molle standard

[@supernovaws]

Looks like counterfeit: 1. No clear visible double-stitch on zips 2. No green label on back of backpack - above hydrator pocket 3. No velcro-molle on top pocket

[@dertyp878]

Hi, nice review! What colour is it? peace from germany

[@TheDaveDryden]

beer veneer olive green I believe

[@janred94]

BC Bushcraft its not but its nice!

[@vincentmccloskey-ooi9014]

So how's the bag held up since this video and what sort of weight would it be capable of carrying?

[@TheDaveDryden]

Vincent McCloskey bag has held up great, you can see me using it on my other bushcraft vids. the most I have put in it is around 35-40pounds. it's not a bag that I would put more than 35pounds really otherwise it is uncomfortable. I will be doing a year review on it soon.

[@alexadam2233]

I got a nicer one but the same model at a surplus store for $35

[@dylangargan8384]

What colour is it

[@AndersErichsen-rr7vs]

At the bottom for sleeping pads or whatever - couldn't you just take them of the.... attachment where they go through and then make it larger? Would make it a lot bigger if they were not going through those holes on each side and directly to the lock thing... I'm not sure if anyone understands me...

[@TheDaveDryden]

Anders Erichsen yup I understand I have tried to do that. I think it would be possible but the strap is stitched so it won't come out. so you would have to undo that and then re stitch most likely. if I have something bigger I just opt to paracord/rope lash it to the bottom. that never fails lol

[@AndersErichsen-rr7vs]

Ahhh, okay :) Thanks for the info.

[@DogBread1]

By the way we have the exact same knifes in the Greek military 🇬🇷

[@diynevala]

I wonder if your dog has "Molly straps" :)

[@TheDaveDryden]

lol, maybe I'll make a vest with Mollie for her too

[@Larrypint]

You still happy with that? And what colour is it?

[@schpek]

Hey, I got the same one but green, I use it for fishing, camping and school, its great

[@WetaMantis]

Would this do a good EDC bag?

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

A bit big, but if you want to be prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse when you pop out to the grocery market. Go for it.

[@jonkeevash8095]

wondering if there is enough space (width ways) to fit an A4 lever arch folder in.

[@TheDaveDryden]

Most definitely should fit one of those with lots of room to spare

[@jonkeevash8095]

Thanks. would you know a place online for UK to get one. Saw one on Amazon but everyone was saying it wasn't legit in reviews. Saw it on Military 1st though

[@TheDaveDryden]

+Jon Keevash not sure about that one sorry

[@jimmd56]

military 1st and ebay.

[@Airik1111bibles]

6 months !!! What the heck thats like 1800's shipping .

[@khaliedalkhodier7855]

hi, where this bag is made? thank you.

[@ogotuwaobuto5366]

I don't know. More than likely China. Manufacturing Capital of the World.

[@Steelo144]

Mil tec are German

[@deenerdz5021]

could you use this for a 2 day camping trip

[@TheDaveDryden]

yes, but you will have to pack light and probably tie sleeping gear on the outside. You could do a week with this bag but your gear and such gets more limited. so it depends what your doing for those 2 days and if you are bringing a tent

[@deenerdz5021]

+BC Bushcraft I would be bringing a tent , sleeping bag, sleeping matt, change of clothes, food, water, stove, and some other things would that fit?

[@TheDaveDryden]

+DeeNerdz the tent is the hard part, if it is bigger than a single tent you will find it hard to get all that stuff in and on the bag. I use a tarp to eliminate that problem and usually no sleeping bag in summer

[@deenerdz5021]

+BC Bushcraft so would a sleeping bag sleeping matt and a tarp be fine for it or should I also get a bivi bag

[@TheDaveDryden]

+DeeNerdz I don't own a bivi bag, since it's summer you only need to set your tarp to protect you from rain. than sleeping mat and bag under it will be very comfortable. just know that bugs and such can get to you when using a tarp so I usually set up beside a fire. the fire is also comforting in the dead of night when things get creepy

[@nickmegadeth6633]

Why do you cary a bayonet? ?

[@daveygaatjeniksaan9833]

Because Of Possible Charges Be The Japanese

[@lordpendragon4867]

Well I'm from Europe and I have far enough knowledge about companies like Miltec or Max Fuchs, and I would choose Condor Outdoors anyday. Miltec is just slightly better then china stuff. So I'm just here looking at this and thinking why didn't you get Condor instead. So please, when you have time...

[@TheDaveDryden]

+A. Croatoan I don't have a condor bag so I can't say much. All I know is that the mil tec bag is good for how much it costs. Only a little more than a basic high school bag for me. Maybe condor is better quality but I don't really know, just that I am very happy with this bag, and it will do everything I want it to. Cheers

[@misaroorasim]

Molly Vs molle

What the F do u do with a bayonnette in da woodz?? I'm LMFAO
