Faithful #5 here. I too was brought up with Alice. The Molle stuff is nice though. The canteen, waist pack, and sustainment pouches are great add ons to increase capacity.
I’m excited to deploy a Molle II Large Ruck as a game pack. The medium Alice and the Gen One pack you’re using just don’t have enough depth to stick a full deer / pronghorn quarter in. It is in the dreaded UCP pattern, but I’m hunting sage / pinion pine country, so it’s okay for my area. The Sustainment pouch will also attach to the sides of the Alice Pack using the side Alice Webbing that are on that pack. If anyone cares the Molle II grenade pouches have the capacity for precisely two cans of Copenhagen. Also, the waist pack will hold a ranger roll. I used to believe it held precisely one poncho liner, but I saw another RU-vid video where it was demonstrated that a ranger roll fits.
I love the bandoliers. If you don't need a full 6 mags you can put 2 mags in one pocket, a small IFAK in another and random stuff like mini binos, flashlight, map and compass etc. for a really small light weight day pack type carrier.
I’m curious why it is so many people think if your bugging out or just trying to get home in a poop gone awry situation your automatically going to be running through the woods. Good kit. I’ve forgotten so much about this stuff.
Guns of navarone great movie with force 10 from navarone coming in second. Great set-up on this molle ll system. Never have seen the sustainment pouches on the patrol pack. Look good. I have this system other than the sustainment pouches and patrol pack. Thanks for sharing.😎💯👍
I have a couple of these packs with all of the components. Unfortunately I too had gotten out before these came into service and relied on word of mouth and various yt videos that didn't quite explain the ins and outs of the assembly.
I heard a pretty good trick is if you run your mss carrier straps thru the botrom of your main ruck sack looops instead.of on the frame it holds together very nicely as well
We had these I didn't like them kept my big green tick. Still have my issued molle 2 rifleman ruck. I still use the big green tick loan out the molle. Now the patrol pack and assault pack are good gear, used with my Eagle h harness and Eagle Buttpack,
Great video. This year will be my first time hunting, its something that I have wanted to do for a very long time. Thing is, I don't have tons of cash to drop on a lot of new gear. What I DO have is lots of surplus gear from my time in and plan to use it. Its good to know that there are other, more experienced hunters out there that are doing the same.
