[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thank you very much man. I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. Be well.

[@Ramiel77]

Nice pack. But above all else I wanted to commend you on tge really well done video. Not many people go out of their way to film and edit videos this well, and I think you did a great job of showing the pack as well as talking clearly. Thanks for the extra effort!

[@waterfrontboss06]

The pockets on the back is more to actually undo the quick release buckles on the pack and run through the shoulder straps into them to keep from flopping all around while the assault pack is attached to the top of the main ruck

[@sevenpointsixtwo9707]

Jarhead intro soundtrack hits hard.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I can't imagine carrying the entire system...could you? Man it's a beast and I love it!

[@Junior-rw3jm]

TheOutdoorGearReview Would this be comparable to 5.11 Rush 72 Backpack? I’m looking for a FILBE 3 Day Pack, around 40-50L capacity. Want to use it as a Carry On for flying on airlines. Thanks. I appreciate your videos

[@bigwashburn]

Managed to pick one up in excellent condition off of eBay for $50, very stoked!

[@spikejones1349]

My FILBE complete pack came today your where right I think I can get the house in there. Can't wait to try it out

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

There is 3 on eBay now. Two buy it nows for around $150 and one auction for less than a hundred. Good luck. It's a great bag. I've got over 60 miles of wear with mine so far.

[@casper3130]

The metal piece above the Shoulder strap buckles on both sides is for strapping the Shoulder strap into if the buckles break.

[@fishing4truth91]

I have the USMC assault pack that I bought used off eBay along with the full sized backpack. The version of assault pack you've reviewed here has some very nice features that mine doesn't have; like the extra pouch for the front and the webbed pouch inside the main compartment opening. Also the one you reviewed here has the rubberized heavy-duty zipper, mine simply has a rain flap covering the zipper. I love using military surplus, it is my go-to gear whether the MSS for sleeping or either pack, depending on my load-out and outdoor requirements. I've been restructuring my assault pack to hold everything I'd need to survive with the goal of keeping it in my Jeep at all times, yet be the most compact unit possible. I've recently added heavy-duty nylon straps through the bottom of the pack to attach my -30 degree sleeping bag. I enjoy watching your review of gear, and look forward to more episodes. Well done my friend and much success with your store.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

That we can do! I was thinking of doing a video on how to weave pals webbing as well. :)

[@WoolysWorld]

Man I have to stop watching your channel, just ordered the usmc bivy , now I want one of these

[@a45456565]

Thank you Luke😺

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thanks pal! Take care of yourself.

[@hatfieldmccoy0311]

Man I cussed the hell out of the Molle gear when we got issued that, cussed the filbe gear, too when we were issued it too, sitting here years after my service ended, and still cussing it but this time with a smile. Miss the Infantry.

[@banditothedorito7082]

Jarhead Soundtrack. Nice.

[@militaryaddict1234]

BanditoTheDorito great movie

[@sethalday1280]

great video man, im going to get a pack like that one it looks very ideal for my needs

[@Chromanoutdoors]

I got the entire FILBE system for $155 nearly new. Just a little bit of wear from what looks like the show room.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

That's a freaking awesome deal! Enjoy brother. - Luke

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Killer bag that is for sure!

[@kellyschafer8873]

Just picked this up at a surplus store in Canada !!!

[@sam-ww1wk]

Nice vintage camp chair wall art...

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I've been carrying 3 liters.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Highly water resistant is how I would describe it and I would still cover the 'importants' if I were you.

[@jimmyblacktar]

Got mine at a garage sale for $10. The guy must have had no idea of its true value

[@minecraftmanyak]

man lucky find

[@troy2286]

I got mine a few years back at a surplus store for 15 bucks. My old pack was stolen so I was in the marker for something new. I had no idea the value of this pack until after I bought it.

[@turkeytrailhoneybeefarmgeo6292]

mason nunes zippers on the top. Zero value.

[@AltairDhauglu]

Hey! Do you know an online store I can trust to buy a complete FILBE system? Definitely fell in wlove ith it. Thanks!

[@debildoshayden8387]

NICE BACK PACK SIR LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVE THAT KINDA BACK PACK..

[@omarrblk]

Mine is also on its way to me! you should make a video with the whole system on your back! thanks!

[@xire1981]

Great review brother, keep it up

[@marcoarmoir4875]

Can you do a review of the Molle ll medium assault pack? Thank yuo

[@ggbro2829]

Makes me wish I stole one while in haha

[@jhutch1470]

I know I'm late to the game, but I just got one. So far I believe that it doesn't sit well with a plate carrier on.

[@dwuletp31]

My only concern about these packs is the connection where the top shoulder straps meet the pack. I had one where the stitching is coming undone. To me it doesn’t seem to be heavy duty connection compared to other military packs

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Спасибо значительно мой друг. Будьте здоровы.

[@markusschaffer9712]

Was gifted mine by a cousin, who is a retired Marine. Its seen a lot of use....lol. I plan on using it until it falls apart. Carries lots of gear, is well built and is comfortable to carry.

[@mw-shadows]

If you have this pack, do yourself a favor and put FILBE sustainment pouches on the sides. Makes it into a true 72 hour pack at that point.

[@henryliu3199]

How much will the hydration compartment store? as in, 2 or 3 liters?

[@steveporcaro1342]

My 3 liter camelbak fits.

[@bjorn3923]

This is the bag that I want, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, went to a surplus store and they only have really big ones or too small ones

[@ruben56ace]

I have 2 for sale on my eBay if you want to check them out. They're both practically brand new. My eBay is Rubeniev

[@jefffriedberg]

What ISit with all these guys and their fricking coffee cups???????

[@carmas54]

how does this compare with the eberlestock packs

[@xjepha]

Any links to where we can purchase this bag?

[@mikee2482]

Luke, Can you attach the assault pack to the main filbe pack?

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

+Mikee You sure can but be warned it goes from a big pack to being a HUGE pack especially once your gear is loaded. Years ago I saw a video of some soldiers wearing the full set up loaded up and one of guys fell over and literally couldn't get to his feet. - Luke

[@EndTheFedAntiGlblst]

Make sure you check to see if your USMC Packs need the Top Buckle and Quick Release Adapter modifications (search for "USMC Pack Modification" on KZbin). I found out mine needed these modifications, but I cannot get Eagle Industries to respond to any of my phone calls or emails to their Customer Service.

[@thedirtyknobs]

Did 5.11 copy this with there rush 12?

[@risktaker0311]

How man cubic inches is the pack?

[@WildMedGuru1]

tried the same - no reply here either Anyone have any idea where to get the upgrade??

[@MorganMcGinnis]

you struggle with the FILBE cuz you just say it ...."FILL BEE"

[@MorganMcGinnis]

FLC = Flick

[@MorganMcGinnis]

sometimes Flack

[@ДимаД-м2ъ]

how much is this bag?

[@timjanda13]

Song in intro ???

[@trevorwolf2107]

Tim Janda There are two songs, both are from the movie Jarhead. First is "Pink Mist" and second is "Welcome to the Suck" which also plays at the end of this video.

[@Ficktao]

Another potentially great pack ruined by holes in the bottom. Holes let in water, sand, ants, dirt, etc. This way you can't even put the bag on the ground without dirt and sand getting inside. Stupid design flaw.

[@cattledog901]

Virtually ALL high end pack makers use grommets at the bottom for water drainage and for debris to fall out. Its not a "design flaw." Your pack is not some completely sealed weatherproof case. Water, dirt, bugs all get in regardless of if there are "holes at the bottom." Its hard use field gear not a school bag. If your worried about water or dirt put your valuables in a waterproof bag in the pack like every other smart person does, or just buy a waterproof pack instead of complaining. Seriously do some freaking research on pack design before spouting off like some "expert."

[@patgray5402]

Sounds like a first world problem to me.

[@jeffreydonaldson7003]

It will drain after you put it back on and don't wear it upside down.

[@isaachousley325]

its a USMC pack. We Marines are amphibious, meaning water will get into the pack. The holes mean that water will drain quickly, so our packs will only be heavier for minuets, instead of hours. not a design flaw, but a very import feature on a MILITARY pack
