MOLLE II Medium Rucksack (OCP) Multicam

An overview of the MOLLE II Medium Rucksack. Made by: BAE Systems Specialty Group USA.
This is the U.S. Army's current "medium" sized pack for soldiers deployed to Afghanistan. It features upgrades from the smaller "Assault" pack and the larger "full size" rucksack. The pack is well suited for 5-7 day patrols in a combat zone, as well as a weeks camping trip in the woods...which is how I use mine. It is MOLLE compatible. The pack features standard PALS webbing on every available surface. This pack offers a great amount of modularity and customizability that todays military equipment is known for.

Thanks for showing how the waist belt is attached to the back of the frame, this's exactly what I needed to see. Great overview!

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks Mike...this is the current pack I use on all my outings that are more than one night. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@MOTOROKERVN]

Это наверное лучший рюкзак из когда либо созданных!

[@WoodworkingWarrior]

D-ring can be used for keys but is mostly used to to clip NODs tie downs to so we dont lose our NODs. (NVGs)

[@ArmyStinger150]

It's a good pack, well made and has plenty of room for just about everything.

My new pack arrived today. It was expensive, but I'm the buy once crye once type. Fitment with body armor is great. Now I have to get gear organized. Gear review, if I would have found this earlier I wouldn't have waited so long to buy it.

[@thelzmovement6480]

dude I swear ur everywhere

+R.A.S. Tactical howdy friend ;)

[@HoosierIrregulars]

ŹÈÚŠ ive always said "buy once cry once" never heard anyone else say it.

[@ArmyStinger150]

It's a really nice pack Ray...I will be using it on my next outing...to test how it works for me. My impression so far, it's a keeper! But it's functionality in the field for what I do still remains to be seen. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thank you Paul. It is a solid pack...made here in the USA! If it's good enough for our troops in Afghanistan, it's good enough for me.

[@MCQBushcraft]

That’s a really nice pack, appreciate the detailed run through. The back looks very well thought out and comfortable with that frame. Many thanks, Mike

[@tristanpeter296]

Pro trick: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@arielriley7632]

@Tristan Peter Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thank you...It's a great pack. I use it all the time...rugged construction.

[@christfollower9557]

I got one at a flee market for 20 bucks like brand spanking new.I love it.

[@ArmyStinger150]

U got a great deal!

[@tomthomas334]

christ you got a steal! I have been looking, was going to get the full size version but ebay lead me astray, finally made up my mind, clicked buy and it was an old deal.

[@MadManInMyVisions]

B.S. lol

[@MadManInMyVisions]

@Connor This pack is at least $63 USED.

[@karmathegreat]

Not trying to nitpick but It’s actually just Operational Camouflage Pattern, the OEF-CP you were talking about was the FRACU “multicam” pattern that was out before the OCP ACU change, informative video though I enjoyed it thank you

[@ArmyStinger150]

That's about right for one of these...They are very pricey for what they are. That's because they are made by "BAE Systems" rather than Specialty Defense...that usually makes our packs and pouches. I have to say though, they are well made...and probably worth the money. My pack I show in the vid was used in Afghanistan for a year with my Son-in-Law. I've had it for about 2 yrs now. It shows no sign of wear or any parts needing replacing.

[@ArmyStinger150]

The pack is an "intermediate" size that the Army saw was lacking, with the large ruck being too large & the Assault pack too small. Yes the straps are for attaching it to the large ruck.

[@survivalkraft]

I saw one of these last week at my local Army/Navy store for $250. I would love to have one, but it is a bit pricey. I'm good for now with my Tactical Tailor rig. Awesome and informative video as usual, my friend! Blessings!

[@DarthRane113]

D ring in top front pocket is for your high priorities. Things that you would need to get to with no searching required. Attach them to a clip and attach. That's what I assume anyway I do this with any D ring's inside of my packs if I don't have room on my person for such items.

[@82spoon82]

Was checking these out on Ebay and was a little iffy from the pics I seen but now im going back to get it, Great review brother!

[@ArmyStinger150]

Cool, it's a high quality pack, I will be using mine out at the river soon.

[@GamePath]

I'd use the d rings to tie down items that would prevent everyone from going home if it were lost during training.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Very wise. We used "dummy cords" on sensitive items when I served in the Army. We had a few instances where a GPS was lost...and we ended up staying in the field for an extra few days until it was found.

[@paulw2008]

Nice pack..I looked around esp. at these. Nice review my friend.

[@SurviveN2]

I'm trying to get caught up on my video watching Cris.....LOL. That is a cool pack, I wouldn't mind getting one like that ;-)) Thanks for sharing. Take Care my friend :-))

[@grierwolfe]

Love it! Something I don't know. What do you mean when you talk about the zippers being "self healing"? Also did you find adding your shelter items to it to be difficult? Thanks man.

[@ArmyStinger150]

They are self healing because of the way they are constructed. We all know that zippers can and will pull away and be open on either side of the zipper itself...these will not do that, and if they did manage to, you can get them back together easily...unless they are totally broken. When I figured out the bungee cords and how I wanted to attach everything it just came together! I'm able to get my tarp, bed net, and blanket into the pack...so all I had to attach to the outside is the pad, tripod, and folding seat. If I had a sheath for my Hawk, I'm sure I could easily attach it to the outside as well. I have a new Hawk...the S&W E&E Tomahawk...which I did attach to the outside of my pack for my last river trip.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Ebay maybe...they are a hot item. They are quite common if you live near a large Army base like I do...this one came straight from Afghanistan, my Son-in-Law used it on many missions there.

[@Kooroshcamp]

Very good ❤

[@ArmyStinger150]

THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS It's not just this pack...anything with the "Multicam (OCP) pattern" fades rapidly. I'm not really sure why. But the Army's version of Multicam seems to fade throughout the whole line of gear they produce.

[@ArmyStinger150]

You can find this pack on ebay...they are scarse though since they are only issued to soldiers deploying to Afghanistan, so if you see one in good shape, get it.

[@13rustyking]

Can you fit all the necessary gear for three day trip: Green patrol sleeping bag out of ecws Food Water Tarp 550 cord Folding saw Hammock Etc....... Thanks for your help, and thank you for your service to our great country, God bless.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Yes, I have several camping trips on video in my "Camping" playlist where you can see what all can fit in it. It will hold more than enough gear for a three day trip. All my camping trips are for 2 1/2 to three days at a time using this pack.

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

It depends on the weather .

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice Rucksack and review!

[@f60w]

good overview. nice job!

[@mharrigfeld]

I just bought one for $129 on eBay. That seems to be the going rate.

[@fakeerazors4life]

sick, thanks a bunch dood. just ordered one!

[@deannaschroeder5662]

I want this for my camping/bug out bag. Soooo hard to find though :( I really couldn't spend over $100. It's hard to find something suitable for my size

[@ArmyStinger150]

They can be hard to find at a good price. It's a great pack if you get it.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Yep, it's pretty sweet camo.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Ya know...I never thought to weigh the damn thing. Mine is packed at the moment, so I can't readily weigh it, but according to several web sites selling it...they list the weight as 5.75 lbs empty. Honestly though, it doesn't feel that heavy.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Hey man...you just can't beat Mil-Spec gear...as far as I am concerned! I never pay a high premium for a commercial bag or ruck...just doesn't make sense for me to...issue gear just works!

[@swhitney9615]

Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) ya damn goober

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks Ham. Haha...well, it does hold alot of food and gear!

[@unclecow]

great video talk about timing I've been shopping around for something to use as a b.o.b

[@rorypullman]

Has anyone found a video or instructions on how to rig the medium ruck for airborne ops? I really want to jump it on my next jump.

[@fakeerazors4life]

great review, what are the overall dimensions of the bag?

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thank you.

[@brunomarques2348]

Hi buddy I´m from Brazil, I just bought one of this and still looking pretty new, How its possible a old pack still so good? All of pack go to mission? Thanks

[@albmartinez314]

If you could do a video on it, that would be cool.

[@SuperDuperSpectre]

Just ordered one since my unit wont send us through RFI. #fundingproblems

[@scallen3841]

What happens when the zippers break when your in bad guy country

[@ebomey]

Sweet .. I like that!

[@ArmyStinger150]

The dimentions of this pack are approx: 21.00" x 18.00" x 10.00"

[@ArmyStinger150]

Yeah man, it's pretty nice.

[@13rustyking]

How well does the frame work to keep the pack off of the middle of your back to get air circulation? I know I'm asking lots of questions and again, I thank you for your help.

[@ArmyStinger150]

The frame was designed to allow for wearing a plate carrier...so it is very nice while using it without one, it does a great job with airflow for what it is, and with the way the waist strap is attached, it is very comfy. It's one of the most comfortable packs I've used...as far as military packs go. And I've used a lot of rucksacks in my day.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks.

[@A7Guitar]

I really like the pack but not having compression straps plus the ocp pattern are big negatives to me. Im currently moving from alice pack and pouches to molle pack and pouches and I want it to match. That said its way better than any civilian pack ive seen but maybe not as good as the filbe. Im also more interested in a two piece system than a one size fits all pack. At least with a two piece I can potentially salvage some gear if say the pack splits or if I have to gtfo of the current area for whatever reason. Regardless I hope you enjoy the pack :)

[@ArmyStinger150]

The FILBE is a great pack. The Army does have the large Ruck as well, that can be paired with the Assault pack, separate sustainment pouches, and the waist pack. For me, I don't need a large ruck like the FILBE or the Army's full system. I can get away with using either the assault pack or the medium ruck. Whatever you choose, the MOLLE system is a huge step forward, I would never go back to using an ALICE type pack. Thanks for watching.

[@A7Guitar]

Yup im definitely getting the army molle 2 large rucksack for sure. My only problem is figuring out to even out the weight on both sides for the large ruck as well as the assault pack I already have. Its basically going to be ifak on one side and 1 quart canteen with canteen cup on the other so definitely a bit of weight difference but hoping I can figure something out. Although if you have any tricks for that if you wouldnt mind sharing that would be very much appreciated. :)

[@tongueprowler]

get some grim locks 1.5 inch nylon and side release buckles. attach the grim locks to the molle on the side use the tri glide locks to secure the nylon after you put through the grim locks the add you buckles

[@13rustyking]

Does the fact that it doesn't have compression straps make it too bulky or create any problems?

[@ArmyStinger150]

No, not at all, I use this pack all the time. I have adjusted how I use it as compared to my other packs. It has become my favorite ruck to use.

[@13rustyking]

+Crazy Uncle Buba, well thank you "Buba". That was a very productive comment. Have a wonderful evening. God bless.

[@eltenda]

i got the acu issued one and i like it!!

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks man.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Actually, I wore them because I had a bad cut on my right hand, I didn't want to detract from the pack by having a big nasty cut staring the veiwers in the face the whole video. But thanks.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks JROCK, I hope you are doing well all things considered. Have you used this pack?

[@ArmyStinger150]

I do have a ALICE pack..I can do a vid on it.

[@davidm4160]

Nice demo, Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me how much it weighs?

[@eltenda]

tutally agree bro'

[@sgtg4600]

O.C.P.

[@tyronewalker5764]

Does not need a frame?

[@ArmyStinger150]

Thanks, I try. :)

[@sgtg4600]

Operational Combat Pack

[@albmartinez314]

Hey do you have an ALICE rucksack? If so, do you think it would be possible to make a review on it?

[@Michael-xd8hz]

Can you adjust the frame so that it "rides high" on your back?

[@ArmyStinger150]

It is adjustable to an extent. There's definitely enough play so the frame is high enough to be comfortable on long ruck marches. But, the frame was designed to facilitate the wear of body armor. So keep that in mind.

[@ArmyStinger150]

I'm curious to see how much these go for on Ebay...let me know if you get one.

[@euphoricgunnut5898]

these are just becoming plentiful at nearby surplus stores. $40 brand new, fuck yeah.

[@ArmyStinger150]

[@devingardella678]

where did you get it? I would love to get one, but They're really expensive

[@ArmyStinger150]

airsofter556 Local Army surplus, $45.

[@cattledog901]

Why does the pattern "fade" quicker on this pack?

[@cattledog901]

Lol u mad bro?

[@goldenearfield2683]

What is a weight of this pack ??

[@carsiotto]

where did you order from? Thanks

[@Seansyy62]

how much is this worth

[@Seansyy62]

@Isomatte oh you saw it haha! Yeah it’s my dads but it’s to bulky for normal use. I can go lowest 140 without patches

[@tyronewalker5764]

This one requires a frame?

[@steves3760]

Yes, the frame should be included.

[@17sylargino]

ok im packing for deployment, and we gotta put the IOTV gen 3 in it and a bunch of other shit and i have no fucking clue how to make all that shit fit, i cant call my leaders and ask because my phone got turned off by some stupid ATT employee, told them to turn it off later and they did yesterday so now im waiting on it to get turned back on but i cant communicate with anyone...so somebody that knows how to pack this shit for deployment, plz hit me up

[@ArmyStinger150]

When my Son-in-Law deployed, they had their body armor on them. I have the Gen 2 IOTV...seriously, I don't know how you would pack it and anything else into this bag. Maybe you are using the large ruck?

[@17sylargino]

ArmyStinger150 yup realized my squadron were a bunch of a holes who didnt update the list as to the new medium rucksack...I finished packing though, I removed some stuff and put the IOTV in the duffel bag. Thanks though. If they wanna bitch about why the iotv isn't in the rucksack, I'll ask who else was able to fit it in there with a helmet, FLC, and about 10 other items

[@ArmyStinger150]

***** Good luck with your deployment. Stay safe. Thank you for your service to our country. God Bless.

[@17sylargino]

ArmyStinger150 thanks, you Too bro.

[@germanhuntingdog]

Half the shit you have you won't need.. Don't pack it send it home.

[@Snicke22]

+++++

[@coolkid123484]

That's not a ruck, it's a assault pack

[@siragarcia7490]

This video is terrible. And your facts are wrong. ‘OCP’ really kicked off only a few years ago.
