Looking at the USGI Molle II Waist Pack. A great piece of inexpensive gear that is built tough, bomb proof, with more room than it looks.

Very nice video. I bought 70 of them for 3 USD each in Peshawar, Pakistan. Loads of equipment is left by US Army, which is sold in Pakistan now. I love the USGI equipment quality.

hello danielmitchell5814, would you sell a few of the us molle waist packs that you bought in bulk for a profit? do you have any other items that you bought in bulk? if yes, what items? and would you sell some of them for a profit? i am asking because i looked at your video of the us gi neck gaiters and it seemed that you had bought those too in bulk, so i thought there might be other items that you bought in bulk. if you will not sell any items then do you know and can you share where good genuine surplus gear (some used and some unused) can be purchased at good prices? thank you danielmitchell5814.

I keep one of these butt packs MOLLEd onto my pistol belt at the small of my back. Right now it's got a .44 Magnum and 6 speed-loaders with 240 grain Winchester Partition Gold Deep Penetrater JHPs ( and sometimes I switch it with a 10mm and extra mags in case I need a more powerful handgun than my Glock 21 .45ACP and don't want to use my AK. We have lots of dangerous critters up in the Great Smokies ), a field stripped MRE, metal spork, a couple power bars, extra LED flashlight ( small and bright ), extra headlamp, some chem lights, a couple extra Bic lighters and 6 Wet Fire tinder cubes, extra ferro rod, extra Life Straw, liter steel water bottle, Mylar "space blanket", extra 50 foot hank of 550 paracord, and still have room for more. They really do carry more than people would think. I'm thinking of rolling up an extra poncho and woobie liner because it looks like it will fit, again with extra room for more. Great piece of kit. Edit : Forgot to mention that I liked and subscribed because you flashed the horns at the end of the video. I've been playing death metal and black metal guitar for 33 years and have played in and toured with some bands you may have heard of if you're into that kind of music

Hell yeah, all good stuff to carry. I love Death Metal and Black Metal, I too played in a Thrash Metal band semi professionally for many years, a few albums out on German record labels. Those were definitely good times. Played in a Death Metal band in the early 90’s as well.
