Ruckdiculousness 9! The MOLLE 4,000! 

Great find, Brother !!! That bottom compartment, I would use for a tarp, and Ranger Roll, maybe even a hammock, storage AO....just for expediency in setting up and tearing down.....ridgelines, tent pegs, and bungees too. Just my idea. Keep up the great work !!!

Got one with air items. Recently picked up the improved molle ruck 4000. It has 2 pockets at the bottom on the sides and has 3 small pockets at the top identical to the top pockets on the large Alice pack. Already packed out as my to go bag Actually the side pockets are larger than you state they will hold a good fair amount of equipment. Until you get your hands on one don't understate the size of the pockets

The smaller straps on the shoulder straps are meant to attach to the frame as load lifters.

awesome John...I sure do love the Ruckdiculousness of it all...I like the modularity in this design, but I also like the fact that you can just chuck it all inside, cinch her down and go!!!...MTwoods

Good to see you back brother. Great pack. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent review John, as always! Good to see you doing reviews again and back out in the field. GOD BLESS Brother and have a great summer!

Omg when i see connected double sided velcro i get so happy lol.

Greetings- That is a real cool find you have there. I have a Molle II 3 day assault pack which Im getting ready to dye after watching a video of yours and others in regards to dying ACU. I plan on using the Molle 3 day assault pack as my main day pack. I use a large Alice pack for my 3 day minimum pack on the old metal frame. I like seeing some of the stuff they have these days, but I have to be honest- The absolute best pack ever made was the Alice IMHO. Ive done road marches and patrols with the Alice and the Molle II, and in a tactical environment, the squeaking of plastic frames is a definite NO-GO. That being said, it all boils down to personal preference- Good video-

Very nice find. Great review.

nice bag iloved the hammock set up 🤙🤙

great find looks very usable

They missed the boat with the straps on this one. If that top pad were a bit different design they could have run a proper strap harness like the Australians use on the ALICE style rucks they are in love with!

You got a deal. Presently $300+

So I have found that the 1606 frame position is not ideal for load-lifters. They become more "load-adjusters" with not much lifting involved because the straps run more or less horizontal from the shoulder strap to the frame, sometimes downwards to the frame depending on your height etc. None of which is ideal for getting the actual desired lifting effect. A solution, and this works equally for the ALICE pack, is to get a rigger or cobbler to sew two webbing loops onto the top of the pack itself using existing webbing as a re-inforcing panel with the ladderlocks attached. This gives the LLs a couple of inches extra height when the pack is fully loaded and creates that imnportant upwards angle. An added benefit is that the LLs can be made to run exacly in line with the straps and not angle awkwardly inwards. These little changes have a major impact on tthe carrying comfort.

What a great find!

the drag/carry handle is that large (I think) because when they rig it for airborne, they run the shoulder straps and the air harness through the drag/carry handle -- there are 6 videos or so on here that show how to rig it (I have this pack as well, no frame or straps because I have others that I am using on mine)

Great find

i just got mine issued in Feb this year its a great ruck Its pretty much a modern day Alice pack. so I recommend if you have an old Alice frame too put it on

I don't really like a top-load pack which that's what I have now but I am learning to use small pouches to compartmentalize my equipment which does make it easier to get what I want out but I do so love a front load pack and it seems to me that they're kind of hard to find but if I keep looking I'm sure I will find one. Thanks for the video and keep them coming. I hope things are getting better for you because you seem just a little happier, especially when you get a new pack. Stay safe out there

I would put my wet weather gear poncho, boots in the bottom pouch for quick access

Pretty cool backpack!

Supposedly these are going to eventually replace the old large MOLLE 2 (MOLLE 5000) ruck for everyone. While I think the 1606 frame is better overall I suspect there's going to be a disconnect somewhere between established packing lists and the reduced capacity of these newer packs within the army.

Interesting bag, it would work well for my kit.

I thought the one with 3 mag pouches and the side pouches permanently attached were the earlier test versions

smaller rucks doesn't necessarily mean less gear and more comfort,it will probably be even more difficult now to carry all your required stuff in the field,also,i dont really see a problem with the molle 2,sure, the frame was plastic and complicated as hell to set up but it was a sturdy,big and reliable with the possibility to make it smaller thanks to the big ass straps,but hey,this means we are gonna see a lot of ocp/multicam molle 2 rucks for the cheap in the surplus market,anyway,alice was better cheers Boondock

Hi John, I’m Infantry from 82nd, I wonder can you try to put THOR’s frame or NICE frame on this ruck and see how it works? So those mag pouch on the top of issue Molle 4k, doesn’t even fit single 556mag properly in there, it doesn’t not fit double mags, the mag will fallout easily.

Mate, geeezzz you're a prick!! I have been so inspired by your RUCKDICLOUSNESS videos I just bought a new ALICE frame and hip belt, back pad/shoulder straps set!! I know the items a the real deal since I bought them from TAS, Tactical Assault Systems (I live in Australia and this is an Aussie company who make gear for our defence force and cadets). I'm ex army and navy myself. I only recently found your videos and subscribed. Nice work mate!! 👍

Very good deal! Why the army doesn‘t prefer frontloading systems?

This ruck will also take the Tactical Tailor and ALICE frame.

I have the same Ruck any ideas on how to add “load lifters”?

So will that 4000 pack fit on an alice frame ?

Nice score alright !!

looks like it could take a alice frame as well

I saw this bag in your last video, and then searched for some more on it, glad its here

i'll give you 125 for it right now!

Currently serving grunt here. I have yet to meet a single 11B or SOF guy that recommends this ruck. The only positive thing I've heard is that it's easier to rig for airborne operations. But who cares? Ease of rigging doesn't help when they make us pack it with 75+ lbs of gear and hump for 20 miles at a time through Pineland. Then when guys get hip & back injuries, folks want to blame "ThIs GeNeRaTiOn" for being too weak. It's called physics people. "Manning up" only gets you so far and typically results in getting preventable injuries, which makes you look like a dumbass.
