MOLLE II Medium Ruck Sack

[@mrwdpkr5851]

I didn't know the patrol bag fit in the sus pouch . Looks like a great pack . I use the Molle 2 3 day pack with a waist pack on the bottom for a zip up poncho liner that doubles as sleeping bag .

[@carlcox7332]

I have the canteen and ifak pouches with the butt pack on my assault pack. Pretty great little set up. I can fit my snugpack ionosphere in the butt pack or even my litefighter1 if I remove the poles and strap outside of the pack. The canteen and ifak make great mini sustainment pouches since the full size ones don't fit it.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

I know this is an older video but you really can't beat the Molle series of rucks from the assault to the beast! One thing I do is reverse the big belt so the curve is on the top, for many people a sad sack is a happy back!

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Good tip. Yeah it was 3 yrs ago

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@bushcraftjoe1 I just got OCP assault pack, pulled the stiff sheet and pad and replaced them with the West German folding pad. Fits like it was made for it!

[@varnellhopkinsiii6863]

The ports on the top and sides of the carry handle are primarily for antennas and radio handsets.

[@varnellhopkinsiii6863]

I like the idea of swapping out for the large duck kidney belt. I will copy that on mine. Thanks!!!

[@bushcraftjoe1]

You ll welcome

[@Sierra_18]

I am getting one with two sustainment pouches, I’ll use the mss system only with the cold weather bag and bicycle then I’ll have a different sleep pad, I have a whole kit planned out along with a rifle and pistol, great review you inspired me to go with this one instead of other ones

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Glad I could help. Bicycke is quite means to bug out.

[@WillliamChaverri]

Great video, I have same set up, thanks for advice, already order the large waist belt.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

You are welcome

[@tomritter493]

Just make sure with that wieght it fits your torso well ... Great pack .and reasonable too

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Absolutely Tom , this was right at the limit for adjustment. This really designed for small to medium size . Im large regular. Swapping out the hip belt gave me extra few, keeping the pack at lower kidney area. If you got more pointers im always listening.

[@Outdoors4adventure]

Yup . Kitchen Sink.....Fits. Nice share.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Thanks

[@richhoule3462]

Those massive inside pockets are for mortar rounds

[@maxsparks5183]

Thanks! I was wondering where I was going to carry those. 👍

[@John_Burns.Crazy_Cooter]

Got mine put together I love it even with my camelbak it's still not heavy like my large MOLLE was I mentioned you in a video I'm uploading about it

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Thanks man I appreciate that. I'm glad it worked out for you

[@Seongbin-0]

Rigid, Very great backpack. Definitely better than most civilian market ones.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Agreed!

Fits over a plate carrier as intended

[@legendoflongbrew6111]

Great video brother those shoulder straps look permanently attached like the three day assault bag I’m customizing do you know the nsn # on inside of pack trying to capture image from your vid but was too quick .. thanks ..WELL DONE!

[@bushcraftjoe1]

No I don't I ended up trading the pack for the larger ruck

[@John_Burns.Crazy_Cooter]

So you put the kidney pad off the Large MOLLE II on the Medium frame? I just ordered a Medium with Frame an i have extra straps so if I can I'll just transfer the kidney pad off my Main Ruck onto the Medium an it'll be ready to roll soon as i get back to Alabama.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Yes it made it much better for me

[@caiobelem1770]

Where did you ordered the medium ruck with frame?

[@robertfelts8773]

How did the thru hike go? That looks like a ton of weight to carry. I've got a pack and need straps. What straps are on it, I tried to use the large pack straps and I can't seem to get it to work

[@bushcraftjoe1]

The virus shut the trail towns done. Thus closing the trail. Everyone except fir fee ended coming home

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

We need to make the Alice pack & frame with PALS instead of mounted pouches. MOLLE suspension.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Never waa a fan of older surplus packs . The molle is my generation packs n gear so its what i have experience with.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

@@bushcraftjoe1 My suggestion isn't a revamp of an old design. It's an amalgamation of everything good about 2 systems. With PALS you enjoy unparalleled versatility / modularity. And nobody can dispute the comfort of modern suspension systems. Where our modern systems fall short is the need for different sized packs in spite of our so called advances. With a rigid external frame and standard basic pack with the ability to add capacity and organization I feel we could at least approach perfection. Impossible, I know.

[@vinnyfrancone3567]

Anyone know how to attach an mss sleep system carrier to the bottom of this same medium rucksack. Without using additional straps I can’t see how. No bottom Molle rings to attach the carrier

[@bushcraftjoe1]

This one had 4 molle slots on the bottom of the bag but this more of 3-5 dY pack oriented, where the large ruck has area inside fir the mss and such. Example i d place wool blanket inside woobie like a sleeping bag roll it up inside gortex bivy bag and strap it or use d rings

[@Grizzly907LA]

Did you end up thru hiking the Appalachian trail with this pack?

[@bushcraftjoe1]

No I ended up hiking with a one Tigris black orca as It was was better for the MARTA ride in Atlanta

[@John_Burns.Crazy_Cooter]

I want to get one like that but wanna keep my MSS I have the newer one that has 2 stuff sacks the foliage grey one is for the bivy an Patrol bag together in gonna leave my Intermediate bag at home an also gonna use my old sleeping pad so I was wanting to know is there a place on the bottom to run a couple lashing straps.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Yes it does. The mss carrier worked well with it

[@John_Burns.Crazy_Cooter]

Good right now I'm using a large MOLLE an the Assault pack an it's killing me almost 90lbs I gotta keep from putting to much in the assault pack

[@walkerone9833]

@@John_Burns.Crazy_Cooter I have all three...the large Molle ll pack, the 3 day assault pack which I sold to buy the medium molle ll pack. I hate the med. pack. The 3 day was way too small but kept it a long time knowing it would clip to the large ruck sack. I thought the Med. ruck would be a lot better and more comfortable.....it is larger but not comfortable. Going to go with a light weight frame less pack and keep the large ruck....which is actually much more comfortable than the med pack. I do love military stuff but the weight at my age is becoming an issue. Large ruck bug out.....lightweight frame less for everyday (or so) pack. By the way, I was looking into the newer improved mss but found they are much narrower in the bags and the bivy. I'll stick to my woodland mss pre-improved. It is a little heavier but I want that extra room. The improved and hooped bivy looks great. keep all the bugs and rif fraf out for shure.

[@thebuilder3700]

Do you know how much space it has raw, without the extra pouches on the side? (in litres)

[@bushcraftjoe1]

There is some space

Check e bay or amazon. Molle 2 large ruck straps are more common on amazon and may work on that frame have u tried that
