USGI MOLLE 2 Assault Pack overview

[@DonaldCroswhite]

I had one in the Army for nine years. The best general use pack ever.

[@eddietat95]

New prepper here. Just wanted to say I love this guy's accent.

[@Syre-ir7bx]

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to find pictures to get an idea of how the thing sits and haven't been able to find any. Great video!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Great pack you have there brother. I have an assault pack in woodland camo I have had for years. I carried it daily for quite sometime and it has held up great. I got mine at a gun show in like new condition for 25.00 but again, that was many years ago. They are great packs and hard to beat for the money. Great overview!

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Black Hat Bushcraft thanks brother, I only paid like 40/50 bucks for this one, I would’ve preferred woodland, but none were available until after I ordered this one of course lol. I love military gear, it just holds up good. Thanks brother.

[@TheCarDemotic]

My dad gave me his and I love it. Best pack ever.

[@Zulutime44]

On mine, I cut off the airborne straps and the buckles for attaching to a GI large ruck. Excess clutter.

[@KaylynnStrain]

nice pack and cute kitty. you could attach pouches to hold water bottles, wish I could do that to my Polish army rucksack

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Kaylynn Strain thanks, and her name is Ninja, she's a very good cat. Yeah, I plan on adding a few pouches. Those Polish Rucks are really nice. Thanks Kaylynn!

[@marcorodriguez1070]

I got that bag for one of my sons & he absolutely loves it. I am actually thinking of getting myself one. Thanks for sharing this vid, take care & stay safe. - Marco

[@LeeRalph100]

I too have the Molle ii, but I deliver to a Military base and often see these smaller packs and wondered about them. Thanks for the review

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Lee Ralph they are good to go.

[@txwarrior50]

I was using one for a get home bag until someone stole from my car. I'm now using a multi mission pack from the Air Force

[@stucklikechucklookinlikewh9501]

I found one of these a couple days ago. It was empty sitting up against a trash can by the pumps. This was at a Race trac gas station. This was a great find. Appreciate the info.

[@mwillblade]

I work at a scrapyard and found a brand spanking new one in the trunk of a scrap car!

[@brianhumphreys1660]

Those “ranger straps” you refer to is made to go thru the holes in top that you said is for a water bladder, is actually for parachuting it’s so you can physically attach the pack to your jump harness

[@ARPine-bt9uo]

Excellent overview! I just picked one up and am excited to see how it does! Thanks!

[@QuantumMech_88]

160 buck$ for a Maxpedition and 25 buck$ for a new unused Molle 2 at a flea market . 2 outside molle pouches of different sizes and a waist pack purchased later . I have no idea what the later purchase pouches are for , but they work great for medical gear , water purification and spare ammo . More comfortable than a high dollar Maxpedition and love the Molle 2 as much as the "old" Alice pack . 1971 Great review Bro .

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

SAR TRACKING you can’t beat Military gear, solid, tough, bombproof, and usually at a very good price. I buy it before the buy anything else.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Cool little pack man...right up my alley. I am a molle/tactical pack kind of guy. Love having options. TFS!

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Triumph Screen Printing yes sir, me too. It's solid. Thanks brother.

[@phantomtroubleshooter2793]

Nice intro and Pack. I see your comments regularly on the prepping channels, so I subbed. Plus I like Metal.

[@inox1ck]

It looks simple but it's stylish, it has good fabric, the zippers look good, and I suppose it's lightweight too.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

inox1ck it is pretty basic, but completely functional. I’m not keen on the camouflage pattern, but the fabric itself is tough. And weight is medium, because it’s such a heavy duty pack.

[@PrincessUnicornSprinkles]

I just ordered a used one for 30 odd bucks all in. I'm really excited to have a rock solid bag I can attach my molle canteen pouch, with canteen and flexible sippy straw to. :D

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Chris it’s a great pack, solid and bombproof. I recently dyed mine, to make it blend in better.

[@PrincessUnicornSprinkles]

Molle is so great! Between a plate carrier, FLC, and this backpack you can migrate pouches anywhere you want/need. Just be ready to spend on those pouches! Condor stuff is amazing.

[@jameshargroder7090]

Damn Thanx to yall, now, I, as a gear backup junkie, I NOW HAFTA HAVE ONE!! E BAY HERE I COME!!

[@rafaelthetall]

the two white straps are parajump webbing. the two ports on the top are ment to have them thru...

[@jeffseaton5193]

Yep, that was a good overview of the assault pack. Works great when joined to the molle II to take out on a hike after setting up camp

[@garygraham4571]

Hey those white straps are for the parachute

[@robsmith1975]

Grabbed one for hunting and it’s awesome!

[@elijahbey3366]

Great overview of this pack.

[@LivingFrugalAndPrepping]

I need to get a pack of out that size. I have two ones about half that size the other is about 4 times that size. I used the small one just for going to the grocery store on my bicycle. The big one is for bug out with my bicycle and trailer.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Living Frugal And Prepping it seems just about the right size for day hikes and overnighters. Thanks brother

[@herbhunter5520]

I enjoyed watching you discover features I would never have found. Maybe do a longer one showing all the military packs together, with the real items to pack? Although, as I watched, you'd say "Oh, you can put some stuff in here" I said "Nope. Bullets (cartridges) bullets, bullets, bullets...

[@Greyghost477]

I purchased the medium ruck ti go with the patrol pack which i dyes olive drab

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

grey ghost I’ve got the large Molle II ruck, this one is designed to attach to it, but it makes it more cumbersome.

[@GigglesClown]

I have the desert camo pack, older brother got it for me before he shipped out to iraq and it was great no matter what, through rain sleet or snow it carried 60-70 pound of everything I needed fo 8 years and nothing inside ever got soaked no matter how much I was( the blade guard in the back was great if my scissors or a knife came loose when hiking and I fell

[@legendoflongbrew6111]

Good job on the vid brother.. customizing mine daily need better back padding adding stiff med rucksack frame hope it helps.. so hope you are well and keep on tubing.. hope you have a medium rucksack review going..

[@shinypackage8789]

Great pack overview, right for the price. Even though it's on the smaller side I bet it still very robust! I appreciate the look at it my friend something I would definitely consider.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

shiny packAGe it's bomb proof that's for sure. I've got the large ruck, but wanted this for just day hikes or an overnight. Thanks my friend.

[@TACHILL]

built like a tank. i got the large alice pack in that camo i found at goodwill.. it's a lil sun faded but mostly i wanted the frame. great overview bro.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

TAC-HILL thanks brother! Hey, you can't beat gear found at goodwill.

[@TACHILL]

i find alot to be honest... you wouldnt believe some of the goodies

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

TAC-HILL I've found some, not a lot, but when I do, I grab it up.

[@mrwdpkr5851]

Looks like a good rig .

[@Mr808islands]

acu collection bet ya got alice as well 👍👍 like the video

[@keithvannostran8479]

Well done, very informative.

[@oldschoolwithamoderntwist6074]

,,,that is a nice pack,, would make a good hunting pack,, i would use it on a drop hunt for a day or two,, thanks for sharing,,

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

James Humerick it should do good. Thanks for watching.

[@toadgravy]

Nice overview. IMO that is a very good urban camouflage especially when it fades out.

[@moner02]

nice review

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

某某 thanks, much appreciated, and thanks for watching!

[@steelhuskers1794]

That's a great pack..they make a waist pack that attaches to the bottom of bag, makes it a great set up..I also have the molle 2 large ruck it's a bomb proof set up 👍

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Steelhuskers 1 so far I like it a lot. I actually just got the waist pack today, and already have it attached. A couple of pouches and/or a canteen pouch and it's set. Thanks for watching.

[@Zulutime44]

I too have one of these. FWIW, I like the UCP colors, I don't need much concealment anyway. IMO, the OCP color is ugly, kind of a shxx brown. Very effective for blending in, but for a civilian chic, it looks great. That big US is icing on the cake.

[@alexj3631]

Nice review, i have the USMC 3 day(slightly larger) and ruck and i love it... the digital camo is of course not so great but usmc colors are a little better(darker great for my terrain) than US Army colors. Keep it heavy brother!

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Alex J I agree, the Marpat is a decent camo, and I like the USMC pack, I looked at those too. Thanks for watching!

[@Prepping2endure]

Nice Pack.. Thanks for sharing. hope you do a review on it after having it a while

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Prepping2endure Thanks, so far I'm happy with it, I will do a review of it after giving a good test. Thanks for watching.

[@maoriboy565]

Thinking about picking one of these up, I do some hiking and camping fairly regularly. Looks very rugged and high quality, would you recommend this?

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

G Howe absolutely I recommend it. I’ve been using it since this video, it’s actually pretty comfortable. And you can’t beat good military gear, it’s bomb proof.

[@maoriboy565]

Oh and by the way really good videos. Very helpful and informative, keep up the good work brother!

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

G Howe thanks brother, that is much appreciated!

[@RandysWSG]

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Thanks my friend!

[@DishOutdoors]

Nice bag... Have fun with it

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Dish Outdoors thanks, it should do good!

[@YR7A]

I had that exact pack, until my cat pissed on it. 5 times through the washer and 3 times with dial and a garden hose. Just gave up and through it away. I was fucking pissed. Got rid of the kocksucking cat.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

prival fang that sucks! Should’ve tried washing it with vinegar, that’ll take the smell out.

[@YR7A]

Damn wish I knew that

[@b-rad6723]

Cool! I want one!

[@ZZoutdoors]

One would think livin' close to Ft.Campbell I would have more military gear. The pawn shops don't carry much stuff like they did! Ya' pay Gov. price at the army surplus! Nice pack. Thanks. ZZ.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

ZZ outdoors our pawn shops don't have much here either, back in the day, they couldn't give it away. I rarely pay full price for GI gear, but it's built good. Thanks brother.

[@scallen3841]

So what do you do when your zippers blow out in combat

[@Greyghost477]

Also hit it with a little black and chestnut brown fabric paint

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

grey ghost I use my multicam pack cover on it, waterproof and blends in.

[@MrLuffy9131]

This is kind of random but there are straps stitched to the back pocket (where you can put the stiffener) inside the backpack, do you know what they are for?

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

K they are for jumping out of airplanes, not sure of their exact use. I leave them in there, in case I need some kind of straps for something in an emergency or whatever.

[@MrLuffy9131]

Thank you! Ah I see now, it was kind of weird that they are on the inside rather than on the outside

[@ashern3920]

If your has those straps, it's meant for airborne troops as it allows for more ways for one to attach it to the rig.

[@osker4738]

drag straps. if you get hit I can drag your heavy ass out of the fight without leaving your equipment behind.

[@JoShUa_J78]

That's cool. Do you still use it

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

J Schwahn yes, I actually just did a video very recently, on dyeing it, to make it more camo effective.

[@Miso_Hornie]

How the eff does the hydration pack go in there? I opened that back section expecting to see the standard bladder pouch and instead I found a mile of web straps and a wierd loopy thing.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Dave Biddle man, I don’t know, somehow it does go in there. That white webbing inside is for when jumping from airplanes.

[@xXSpaceMexicanXx]

I'm thinking of cramming a 3A armor panel in there, what size you think would fit inside snugly?

[@RoostedFilms]

AWESOME REVIEW Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi, i have a problem, basically that rubbery waterproof parts of inside leave some sticky marks on things like bottles. Do you know how to fix this maybe? Thanks.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

I returned mine. Well-made but crudely designed. 5.11 and Maxpedition do it better. The Rush 24 is simply an improved version of this.

[@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394]

Very nice man thank you

[@thealabamabushcrafter6861]

I have the same exact rucksack, and I love it ! It is bomb proof for sure !! Keith Alabama Bushcrafters

[@destroyr1247]

The Alabama Bushcrafter it is not a rucksack but I guess you can call it that lol. It’s a 3 day assault pack meant to carry a lot less than your typical rucksack. We usually packed ear/eye pro, our ACH, wet weather top/bottom, 4x6 tarp, and 1 pair of socks and our BFAs in them. So, definitely less than what we carried in our rucks.

[@jackpumpkin]

I love this pack so much. I got a couple mods on my channel

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Jack Pumpkin me too, it’s a great pack. I’ll check your channel out. Thanks

[@koratkorat1931]

thanks

[@lakeerieprepper]

I like it alot!!

[@robbieglass9125]

Their not ranger straps and their not reflective. They are straps for para jumping.

[@soothingmeow22]

It's a heavy Jamesport. I hate mine I was issued 3 and they are not good assault packs. Will it work yeah kinda like casual shoes kinda work for a 12 mile ruck. Can it be done yes do you want to no

[@steelhuskers1794]

Any ideas for the molle on the upper front of the pack ??

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Steelhuskers 1 one of the good thing about molle, is there is literally tons of options for pouches of all sizes. Condor makes several smaller pouches that would be good options, even the USGI waist pouch might be a good option.

[@IcurseAtFishForFun]

Idk if you were in the army or not but u can get a week out of that thing if not more

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Richard Mohamed agreed, you really could for sure.

[@ericpatrick5542]

Three Things I Am Using Is My Blue Backpack And Blue Duffle Bag And A Black Military Tactical Drop Leg Bag. That's What I Am Using Right Now.

My pack is already in multicam.

[@countercultureexcesstvbrai7386]

Vomitory!!!! Arrrggghhh!!! \m/

[@swampfox5329]

If you do not like the color then go to the Rit Dye website and search for OD Green. I have dyed all of my ACU gear to get rid of that grey "here I am" tone.

[@teamluckyhat2780]

Nice pack man, Carry some Fat wood in that one.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Panhandle Prepper can't beat good GI gear, and yes, most definitely some Fatwood will be in it. Thanks brother.

[@micahfrye8885]

There's this new thing, you may not have heard of it, it's called "paint" the camp sucks and you can buy these for 10 bucks at Amish any surplus store.
