[@MoHa-bl1yo]

Most of the reviews I have seen online only talk about the positives in the bag. Thank you for pointing out some of the negatives and its use case. Seems like a really good bag if it fits the use case.

[@MrThewetsheep]

I have one of these and use it for pretty much everything. It’s great for travel school work etc as well as tuning around with gear because of its semi rigid frame (the insert BF talking about). I’ve cycle commuted with it daily covering it in water and mud for a few years. Have also spilled battery acid all over it and it didn’t phase the materials great bag over all.

[@MM-kv8ly]

I've had a black Mystery Ranch Sweet Pea for years. It gets used constantly for groceries. Not a very sexy roll, but I can stuff it full and no one looks at me like I'm a tactical prepper. Although black tends to stick out when hiding in the grass, it also blends perfectly in an urban setting.

[@AceCarreno]

This is my EDC and I love it. when I’m off to work, I carry my lunch and dinner plus my laptop and surface pro and water. When I go hiking I use the laptop pouch for a water bladder. It’s honestly perfect for what I need/wanted

[@machsi1900]

I've had this bag for a year for dayhiking and travel. I just use a grimlock attached to the pals above the bottle pouch to hold my 40oz nalgene. Even upside down the bottle doesn fall out and easy to remove as well. Cheers and God bless.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

"...and covered in appropriate amounts of dog hair." LOL. I feel ya. I have a Great Pyrenees, which is basically a white floofy moose pretending to be a dog. He shows his love by shedding freely on anything and anyone who comes in contact with him. I love him, but trying to lose anyone in the woods with him is impossible, because he leaves a trail of white hair stuck to every bush and tree, and then if there isn't snow on the ground, he can be seen from 2 miles away because he is the only 130 pound white blob on the side of the mountain. Anyways, I love my Two-Day Assault. It actually is my EDC bag and goes with me everywhere. I've used it for years and can't find any real faults with it. I am digging the content. Keep it up.

[@protectpersevere2030]

Great Stuff once again man! I like how you went ahead and said the actual purpose of the bag and not sugarcoating it. Also I found that if you want to store water on the external pouches to either carabiner or attach cordage to the leads to the Molly on the side

[@BrassFacts]

yeah i do that sometimes, but then they sorta flail around. Works for a camping bag. and thanks for the comment!

[@brotherbrovet1881]

I've used mine almost everyday living in a remote part of the Ozarks. It's my everything bag. By everything I mean ammo, water, food and snivel gear. If I'm off my property, it's on my back or ATV.

[@HotelBravo556]

Seems like the insecurity of the water pockets when using nalgenes could easily be overcome by tying shock cord to the MOLLE on either side of the bottle roughly just below the cap.

[@alidasantos8007]

Small carabiners used to work as well.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

I use one of the water bottle pockets to secure a GoreTex shell to the outside of the pack by folding it in half lengthwise, unsnapping the top buckle, running the GoreTex through the strap for the top buckle and folding it over, then stuffing the end of the sleeves and bottom of the GoreTex into its hood and the hood into the water bottle pocket. It works well for that. I have a LifeStraw bottle in the other pocket secured via carabiner, and that does okay as well. Overall, I love my Mystery Ranch Two-Day Assault, and after dragging it over mountains and through the woods, to grandma's house and all over God's creation, I have been unable to find any serious fault with it for my purposes, and it still looks brand new.

[@MakayuRonin]

Canteens do work well in the side bucket pockets, so long as you're not bear crawling (don't ask) or breaking like 45 degrees they won't fall out. Especially when paired with canteen cups.

[@outlaww48]

Does it have drain holes in those pockets or a way to bungee the bottles on there?

[@andyirons7162]

That blue Naglene water bottle in the video seems to be the 1.5 litre version....the 1.5 litre versions are 285cm tall, the typical 1 litre versions are 21cm tall.....I just got this bag and the 1 litre version fits perfectly

[@chrisallen8405]

I am offened on behalf of Nova. I feel this should of made its way into being a bone pack review. Seriously, good job. Been looking for a pack and was wondering if mystery ranch was still g2g. You confirmed my information

[@havocdevelopment6142]

I have the same bag in green. And the larger sphyxn 60. I also do bushcraft living in fl. Im no authority on it. But knowing a bit allows to carry less amd get more. I can get 4-5 days "comfortably" (no such thing as efficient and true comfort when roughing it ) with the 2 day back. And weeks on end or more (in my area with skills) with the 60. The 2 day is great for a short duration recce larp , simple overnight overwatch or camp . Or a day hike. Sure there coms about the pack. #1 being the belt system . But i did find a good cheap upgrade. Its the AER hip pads. Replaces the stock belt. Definitely recommend. Side note. Itw notched buckets attached to the webbing above the sliders for the chest strap. Will allow you to run a placard or chest rig panel. I can run either my rdr gear msp, or my mayflower uw modified placard. Without sag, due to the slip mechanism on the chest strap slider. The itw buckles stay put. Sweet bag. It can do a fair amount. But its best to plan ahead and modify to fit specific capabilities.

[@WarhoundActual1]

In regards to the outside pockets; 2 qt canteens work really well in them. But yes, tents, ponchos and bed rolls are the good good there.

[@mikemasek6249]

Agreed, the outside pockets work great with a 32oz Nalgene or a 40oz Kleen Kanteen. I tried a 48oz nalgene once and it also worked fine. A small carabiner attached to the molle keeps the bottles secure.

[@raptordc5]

So before I spent the money on my 3dap I bought a hill people gear Aston house backcountry. Wow! Solid second choice 👌

[@tnh723]

For 5 years now Ive has two kinds of "tactical bags". One a 50L traditional dump pack for serious hiking and bushcraft, the other is my 27 liter Vanquest Ibex that has the bare essentials for an "assault" or "direct action" tarkov bag. Its smaller than your mystery ranch 2day but Im really happy about the size and it can prevent me from overloading as a bigger one will tempt me all the darn time. Love your content man. All quality There's a 3rd one. Its that family Im Never Coming Home bag. Like you I also listened to Hoss USMC, nutinfancy, and all those dudes from the 2010s

[@n8mayfield]

You can bungee the tops of your bottles to the molle or pals webbing, that’s what I do, works pretty well for that

[@JustAGuy1031]

Would love an updated video on bag selection and such.

[@BadKarma1218]

I ended up going with a smaller water bottle but a a few of the 2L hydrapacks. The take up cube space more efficiently. And the hydrapak can have a filter screwed on it

[@OGsDangerShow]

Great, informative video. What breed is Nova? I inherited the same type of dog (Different colors) and have never known what breed she is. They could be sisters though.

[@BrassFacts]

kelpie/red heeler mix... I think, who knows, the pound thought she was a G.Shepard (obviously not now). Mutts, ammirite?

[@jjones6606]

Heeler for sure. Maybe some kind of terrier back there somewhere

[@OGsDangerShow]

@@BrassFacts thanks! Ours has German Shepherd colors but is built exactly like Nova. Stay safe, man. -OG

[@erictustison]

The implied pro tip is to always choose your Cordura to match your dog color.

[@RebaDerChi]

Metal nalgene+canteen cup for the Nalgene helps fill that pouch a little better .

[@fubar1217]

Some shock cord routed through the molle could also hold that Nalgene in.

[@skydivingcomrade1648]

24hr pack, 72hr pack, mountain warfare rucks.... I would like a pack that fits a AR broken down or a side saddle.

[@georgehenriquez654]

I've had a eberlestock bandit bag w the same problem for the water bottle pouches. I distinctly remember someone telling me mystery ranch makes some eberlestock products. But the the pouches kind of shows, I digres. I plan to run a 32oz hydro flask w/ a caribeaner on one side and an IFAK on the other side or my jet boil. That's what I ran on my eberlestock bandit pack.

[@georgehenriquez654]

Worked for me

[@gabriellentz7066]

If you’re having issues with those water bottle pouches, Outdoor Research makes Molle Nalgene pouches that you could put on the bag. They hold a 32 ounce Nalgene obviously and they fit a jet boil almost perfectly, at least in my personal use with them.

[@michaelpro2800]

Give him his bone 🦴 and lots of hugs.

[@10thmountainvet]

Be careful shooting near your frozen car windows. How much weight was in the pack while you were shooting? Great review; consider doing your magazine changes or immediate action to correct a malfunction in a more high-ready position, keeping your eyes aligned "down-range or on threat" it will also put your rifle in a much more ergonomic position. This will also help direct brass out of the rifle instead of into the chamber. Drills, both Position and Actions should be managed into Near and Far contact or Ambush and will look completely different. A purpose driven drill will run more smooth and thus look more tacticool on your videos and be more valuable to your training and muscle memory.

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

I am trying to make this bag work. Hoping it will break in and I figure it out. So far finding it does not stabilize loads well as integrated top lid and center zip does not allow the pack to completely sinch down when it is less than entirely full. Also very padded but doesn't breathe well vs my deuter and real world capacity isnt much more than a 20liter deuter...

[@tnh723]

For the side pockets holding bottles? Put a D ring on the bottle's top

The only big problem with this bag us you can't make it to heavy because all the weight is right on your shoulders when 80% of the weight should be right on your hips. if it had a load bearing belt I would get one without hesitation also there are no sir channels and I live in the desert where it gets very hot eight months out of the year.
