Where did you or how did you mod the buckles on your ruck?

Great vid. How do you utilize the flat pack, as I’ve noticed with mine, there is a lot of length left over. Do you tighten the straps all the way, or recommend something else?

How did you mount the safariland holster?

Check out the HSGI 2qt pouch

Awesome video/mods

I'm probably 2 yrs too late but they do make a straw adapter kit that works on regular water bottles wide mouth or regular. I got one 5 yrs ago

Thanks for taking the time to show this.

Coming from an AO that could be considered northern where we see between 2-4 feet of snow for about half the year I have to say that I could take or leave a snow collar. You can always use a ruck liner or drum liner instead. Also, in cold weather or at altitude isobutane stoves suck. I use them for backpacking sometimes but have gravitated to a small twig burner with the capability of burning solid fuel tabs and an alcohol burner. It takes longer to boil water but you can pack a 500ml or 1000ml bottle of alcohol and get quit a few boils, or save the alcohol/fuel tabs for crap weather days and burn sticks for the most part. That is, of course, if you are usually in a wooded area as I am. Good stuff!

Dude, do you still have it? It's that I have a question. The question is what are the measurements without the straps on and with the zipper closed?

What happened to the website?

Legit

What elastic/Velcro AR insert is that? All the ones I found are double sided hook. Thanks

Nice video, can you tell me about the water bottle and cup?

Field Strip those MRE's Friend!

Where did you pick the Chestrig up at?

Hey I know this guy! It's harris btw!

Do you want to talk about your RTO experiences? How you did things?

I'm looking into taking some One Shepherd courses so that point about being able to swap our your harness for the miles gear is really good to know. Were you able to use that gear at One Shepherd even though it's mostly multicam? I have a bunch of multicam myself and was concerned I wouldn't be able to bring any of it since their website seems pretty strict about using green gear. Perhaps the multicam is green enough?

How much lighter is the pack with the internal,frame

Captn Mustard!!!! I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel!

I got the same bag and I’d have to say that it’s the best carrying bag that I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of mystery ranch camelback eberlestock and all that good stuff but this one is just right in size to weight ratio and I find that I can put everything i want in it with several different way to go about it. Also the beaver tail is simply brilliant. Somebody could make a lot of money offering different options to hook into the loops of this and the dg16 packs.

Better concept

What compass is that on your first line gear in this video? Ive been looking for one this size.

I was recon with the Airborne unit (3/325 ABCT) in Vicenza late 80s early 90s. We still rocked the LBE and Alice packs, though we modified them to fit our needs. We trained alot with the British Paras, and we adopted some of their ideas. Even using 4 man recce teams as we were always under manned. Great kit, very adaptable, comfortable, and keeps one from over heating.

Do you have packing lists for assault, long range patrol etc ?

I know this is an older video, but the links to your website no longer work. I'm interested in the mods you've done and mentioned to the alice lbe. Thanks

Intresting video, as a brit infantry veteran I can see the plce influence..have a look at Jay Jay's webbing set..bombproof bit of kit..max velocity has a good review..atb from UK 🇬🇧.

thats roughly what im tying to set up, split front mayflower, hailey flat pack and i want to modd the flat pack and my spiritus rear panal to clip in to my mystery ranch pack, im really enjoying your videos keep up the good work !!

i really like they mesh bag idea for your pocket kit, hopefully be going for my first one shepherd class this spring.

What’s the price of this pack

I don't know why your video isn't linked by Crossfire. You have great content and I appreciate your time and efforts. 🍻

Great series lots of insightful ideas. 🍻

This is a solid piece of kit, it’s crazy durable, they just dropped a torture video, try doing this with a MOLLE 2 or ALICE lol, incredible engineering went into the frame. ua-cam.com/video/vbH-4Ap0-RM/v-deo.html

Was the Internal frame shipped already installed or was it shipped in the main pack compartment ? Their unboxing video didnt show the Internal frame being inside with the other pouches.

Would a G.I. 1 qt canteen fit in one of the large gp pouches?

Suggestions/observations from alpine/winter warfare schools/experience: Try leukotape for blisters/medical tape/duct tape replacement, unlike moleskin it's water resistant and the much better adhesive/backer will remain applied for over two weeks even when continuously immersed. Dermatone is clinically proven to prevent sunburn and chillblains. Cat crap for antifogging of eyepro and optics. Gear repair tape does permanent IR-compliant ("tenacious tape" as I recall)gear repair, a roll can be kept in sustainment gear in a pill bottle, or possibly in your little lightstick holder, I keep two pieces attached to the inner cover of my notebook. Gel based small tubes (0.1oz IIRC) of superglue for gear repair is easier to apply and does dual duty to externally close/protect cuts and especially damaged nails/cuticles. One teammember should have a small tube of shoe goo in case of a life/mission threatening boot sole failure. A small tea candle weighs less than an ounce and when combined with your casualty blanket provides an emergency weather resistant warming shelter with equivalent BTUs to having another person with you. All batteries lithium for cold weather/longevity, add an 18650 cell as that's pretty clearly the direction weapon lights are going. Depending on logistical support rechargeable AA/AAAs and a small power exchanger have been a godsend, they may be viable for you in a sustainment role. A pocket stitched onto the sleeve of an undershirt will keep your batteries/face paint/grease pencil warm without getting uncomfortable under straps/harnesses/vests. A nyoflume (spelling?) pack liner for a top loading ruck solves waterproofing/waterlogging, and a light coating of hot pink or orange spraypaint in the bottom/sides makes it easier to find things, and replaces a VS-17/similar for signal/rescue. A silkweight sleeping bag liner can add 5-10 degrees to your comfort rating for only a few ounces more, but more importantly keeps your main bag clean, which preserves it's insulation value for long duration missions or any deployment without laundry support. If you're going to hump two sleeping pads (honestly air+foam is a criminally underrated setup for cold weather infantry work) try a quilt setup, you cut your insulation weight by half with very little temp penalty if done right. If climate conditions and your skills at moisture management are up for it consider uncoated down. A good/affordable entry point is a 2nd hand 500+ fill puffy top, sized 2XL or larger, which will plus up your sleep system to the point you may not need anything other than the green bag, you can layer it over your gear post-action to stop from freezing to death while you pull security The Nalgene 1L canteens can be kept from freezing layered against your kidneys comfortably, if you need more carriage the 1L bottles filled to 600ml and stored inverted will freeze from the bottom up leaving the top drinkable without busting the bottle. Ditch the MREs if at all possible in general, but especially for cold weather. Water weight wears you down faster, and being rendered inedible by freezing then requires more fuel/weight/time to make them consumable. Freeze dried is ideal, dry homemade soup mixes vacuum sealed are great as well because intake of warm liquids and physical warming decreases weight/space of chemical food calories needed to rewarm you and also helps hydrate. Teas, ciders, and cocoas should be carried and dispersed liberally for morale and physical warming, coffee as both a diuretic and an addictive substance should not. In cold weather nuts/seeds/fruits/sausages/hard cheeses are for snacking during the day/activity, provide fats to keep you fueled without needing to pause activity or be rewarmed, provide proteins to recover, and provide fiber to keep your gut settled. Freeze dried, dehydrated, or dry/boil meals rewarm upon awakening, as your body naturally cools while you sleep, and the end of duty meal keeps you warm through the night through physical warming, as well as providing fats/proteins to warm/recover your body while you sleep. Take a small plastic nalgene of olive oil (unbreakable) and add it to everything, your body will burn off 6000cals or more depending on exertion/temps. A reusable chemical hand warmer (reactivated by immersion in boiling water when you reheat meals) and a football-style muff handwarmer attached to the bottom of your plate carrier of the top of your belt line does wonders for maintaining dexterity. After rehydrating meals before sleep you can warm a canteen and chuck it in the bottom of your bag or up by your kidneys, keeping an empty water bottle for a piss bottle is well worth the 1oz weight penalty, toss it into the bottom of the bag to rewarm your footbox when you're done Possibly consider the sleeping pad on the bottom of your ruck, interfaces better with your belt line, protects the ruck bottom, keeps the inside cleaner. If you're humping a shelter half/poles you're anticipating being in an area you can't cut veg, consider having one man in the team sub poles/shelter for an assault ladder/casualty litter. IME the ladders tend to be more robust, lighter weight, and cheaper, particularly if you source something that isn't DOD-exclusive. You'll also generally find that from a weight/space perspective individual sleep shelters tend to be the least efficient, 2-3 man sleep cover systems are a solid balance between technical perks and tactical usability. Shared body heat increases comfort, lowers required insulation weights, increases recovery, has psychological benefits for both individual recovery/security and team building, smaller overall footprint leads to decreased security requirements, etc. Like everything else, shelter and food/cooking are both persistent individual requirements and generally more efficient when needs are aggregated and carriage is distributed.

Very nice - Excellent rig and definitely envious. I would have appreciated a demo on how you did the kydex inserts though. Very well thought out and would watch any update vids

Wow. glad i watched this...Thanks for the vid...i was very close to buying this pack, much to complicated for this ol boy...does the pack come already assembled?...atvb...woods

Do you know if you can strap a PRS rifle to the side of the ruck using the side pouch as a cup and tie downs at the top like the eberlestock V69 destroyer? Something like a Remington 700 in a KRG chassis.

Was good video, though I personally would keep the external frame. Find it doesn’t move seperate to body movements ie having to pick up the pace I found it moves with my body better. Was good to see though. I’m in Australia ex Australian army med discharged now vets pension. Yet getting away from the craziness of civilian life lol. Has Crossfire moved away from Australia to the USA as was sure it was an Australian company 🤷‍♂️. I’ve subbed in to your channel, look forward to watching your channel. From Down Under, stay strong 🤙😎🇦🇺

What kind of ruck is that?

You mentioned using a bite valve now on the 2qt canteen. Do you have a name or a link? I'm not wanting to buy a low profile bladder atm and would rather just add a valve to my 2qt canteen. Regardless thats genius! Gonna rig that up on my patrol pack. P.S. Interesting using the pads and back from an LBV-88 set. Thats neat. H harness is where its at.

I can clearly see the British influence.

Nicely done!

Hey, great vid. How do u find the ruck itself? You don’t seee much in this ruck at all.

I like that you confused your toilet paper with MRE. Given the flavor of most of the meals it is an easy mistake to make. lol

Great run through of the pack.... Thanks a lot! Look forward to your next Video on the pack.

Nice well thought out.

Well done.
