Becker Patrol Pack Mk2 Review

[@MTwoodsrunner]

I have one of the first versions by Eagle Industries...getting a bit long in the tooth, but it still in decent shape...MTwoods

[@davidbirchall2049]

Great review mate, thank you. I think the two pairs of rings at the bottom on the shoulder straps are plastic and metal, rather than all metal, to keep the noise down. It would be better also, if the hi vis inside the pack were secured with velcro, they could then be used as air marker panels. Best regards David.

I've got mine a couple of months now. I've really come to love it. Mine is 500D cordura and in multicam. I find it really comfortable.It was way too crazy at the start, but one day I set off on a 19km walk, and it was as comfortable at the end as it was at the beginning.

Great review. I been watching as many video's on this pack that are limited here on KZbin so I can see all the info and functions on it as I will be purchasing the MARK II in OD Green in a week from now from someone I know here in Canada and it will come with both harness systems for a good price of $325 shipped. I had the BlackHawk version many years ago. I believe it was called the Sortie Rucksack if I remember correctly, I could be wrong. Many years later I wish I never sold that pack to a guy in Texas, LoL. I'm so stoked and can't wait to get my pack and try it out, Cheers Mate.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Cheers mate!

Also very useful to know that a metal mug and bottle fit the pocket: lots of people refer to Nalgene but few to common UK items.

[@Phantom-F4]

I agree with you.👍 That section of material that goes up against the back of your neck from the shoulder straps irritates me to no end. I will not buy a pack that has it. You see it on the packs that kids use to walk to school. Of course, the kids extend the shoulder straps as far as possible so that the bag hangs about butt level, where the weight in the bag (books) has the most leverage against you. 🤣😱🙄 Overall, I really like that pack.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@Phantom-F4 yeah it’s great, especially with the individual shoulder straps.

[@paulevans-u2o]

great review tom love that pack be looking to get one in the future as normal very detailed good and bad gives people an informed choice on wether its for them so always a good thing cheers tom keep them coming love the channel 👍

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@paulevans-u2o thanks mate!

[@CitadelDefense1]

It has been a while since I've been wowed by a pack, but this certainly has my attention

[@BourneOutside]

Oh hell, this is really caving me in, Mr. B. I love my current packs but this is a nice one. I had a good look at it a while back but declined for the time being. What a great review and, I doff my cap for carrying it out in the snow. #verytempted

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@BourneOutside thankyou. I did the review out in Alaska.

[@tubefreakmuva]

Love that vietnam tiger pattern.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@tubefreakmuva me too!

[@tubefreakmuva]

@PreparedPathfinder Also those jackets and trousers you're wearing, it's like a NATO rainforest pattern - it looks very cool 👌 never seen those 👍

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@ yes mate, Finnish M05 pattern, really nice!

[@mountainadventures7346]

I bought the Helikon Tex Tiger Stripe ruck. I think I like this one better! Straps look better and it looks bigger! Thanks!👍

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Yeah I like the look of the Helikon Bergen, it's just too small.

[@mvis]

I took a huge risk of watching this video, as I'm still waiting for the CF2+daypack combo you reviewed earlier to come back in stock again and I really want to have those, but fortunately this one hasn't got that wow factor 😅.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

It's a different kind of pack tbh, this is smaller but with more external storage. The CF2 has a better carriage system for heavy weight.

[@robertgriffiths9605]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to produce such a detailed video. I am based in the UK so it’s just about impossible to find out details of US kit, unless someone like you bothers to make a review. Love the location - UK?

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@robertgriffiths9605 this was filmed in Alaska.

[@robertgriffiths9605]

Funny how a wood block in Brecon can seem like Alaska😉

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@robertgriffiths9605 yeah not a lot of difference! 😂

[@SurvivalScoutOutdoors]

Great review! I really like the pouches on this pack. Thanks brother!

[@benfoot4212]

Glad they came out with the pack again. I have an original Eagle Becker, one of the best packs I have

[@christophermarshall5015]

snap its great [and very rare now]

[@benfoot4212]

@@christophermarshall5015 Had no idea, that is crazy.

[@davidsayer3325]

Another thorough review cheers Tom 👍

[@wiccanways]

Thanks for sharing 🤗🧚‍♂️

[@Mugwumps107]

Great knowledgeable review of what looks like a solid choice of pack 👍🏻

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Those grommets by the zip, I'd be thinking to use them for paracord sheathing, something to hold scrag and veg for those tactical tesco runs.

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Great review. Awesome detail lots of goodies.

[@TheDavewatts]

Cheers👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@cap6888]

Great video as always. Hard to tell from some of the still pics….. did you wear this while wearing your tiger stripe DZ right? I think so, but the camos blended. Just want to see how it paired with a belt kit.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@cap6888 l was using an M81 DZ Rig, and yes it works with it perfectly.

[@cap6888]

@ thanks!

[@Echo_Mike]

Great review mate

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Thanks mate!

[@PaxtonCreekSupply]

Great video, im regretting not getting one in that beautiful tigerstripe

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Thanks mate, yeah I love it!

[@tommythai560]

What’s your opinion on the Finnish savotta packs, they seem pretty good for the money and materials used, basic and too the point?

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@tommythai560 l have the medium Savotta in M05 and really like it.

[@axelthorn2263]

Hi Great pack😊 and I think it's prepared Wanderer that did the same different colour he often does loads of gear like this

[@bob_the_bomb4508]

You could use that inner frame sheet with some crayons* to draw sketch maps for ‘O’ groups, save pǐssing around with a model kit. This is what they should have replaced the ‘58 pattern large pack with. Stopped a generation of adjutants and RSMs coming up with stupid kit lists to fill a Cyclops Centurion. * Paras and US marines will require adult supervision with crayons, as per normal drills :)

[@PreparedPathfinder]

@@bob_the_bomb4508 😂

[@donaldreynolds2998]

I bet a pair of tactical tailor shoulder straps would work great.

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Yeah I had a look for those when I was in the USA but they were sold out.

[@thomasmason9070]

Upgraded Tactical Tailor Alice straps would be tits on that ruck.

[@NIGHT_FIGHTER]

The pack is made in Columbia, South Carolina, USA....not Colombia, South America
