Tactical Tailor 3 Day Assault Pack + Belt Kit 

The knowledge transfer is priceless for us none military minutemen...

Gettin three seashells vibes from the seven sandbags

Another great video. Thanks for the info as always. "Good enough for government work." Loved that! My dad used to always say that. He was in the Corps during Korea. He was a Marine till the day he passed away. Semper Fi!

Get you a cheap dollar store plastic cutting board and cut it in the shape of the back of the pack. Stick it in with Velcro or just jam it in there and place it between the back of the pack and the water bladder. That will give it some rigidity and take some of the feeling away from the bladder against your back.

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I appreciate insight from people who actually use their shit.

I recently took a medium Alice pack and Molle 2 medium assault pack frame. Chopped about 3 inches off the top of the frame, to make it short an stubby. Now it rides perfect on the buttpack and gives more support when loaded out. Compared to the frame sheet I was using.

Glad you’re switching to a dg3. The best suspension and frame system out there. Used mystery ranch, guccied out Alice packs, had the TT 3DAPP, LBT bags, eagle bags, but the dg3 is here to stay. Did a 9 mile the other day with 2 river crossings and the 60lb load in my pack melted away. Didn’t even feel like it was there. I have a valkor 3 day if you’re interested in trying it. Like your TT bag but a little bigger, better layout and has aluminum frame stays. I also have a battle labs 5 day assault pack you can try out if you want too and the dg3 doesn’t work. (It definitely should. Hence why I’m openly offering up my other bags)

For anyone that has an alice, remember the alice has d rings inside and strings to tie up the bottom of the pack to make it an assault pack. With or without the frame

I know this is an old video, but you should look at the Platatac Tropical Spur Pack. Short profile and has a flexible external frame.

If you are looking a pack that works really well with belt kit, the karrimor sf predator 45 with side rocket pockets or the karrimor sf sabre 45 with side rocket pockets. Both packs with side pockets can take you from 3 to 5 days comfortably maybe even at a push a week

I have the same pack. It’s not too bad. Just got it and figuring out how to best use it. Thanks for this video. Give me some good ideas. Coming from our medium ruck and a Camelbak pack.

Thanks for the content dude. Not having a frame, I would suggest you go to Grey Man Tactical and get a rigid Molle panel insert that will fit the dimensions of your pack. They have a ton to choose from, and it will add some rigidity to your pack if you size it properly. Will also help keep you from feeling that bladder against your back. Hope that helps dude!

Bongo Gear has the Becker Patrol Pack Mark II, it seems like a cross between a compact version of the Alice Medium and a USMC FILBE Assault Pack with some sustainment pouches. It might be worth a look. Only downside I can see is the harness style shoulder straps in the event you wear it over body armor, but it may spark inspiration for a tailored solution in the 40L range.

Another great video brother, just realized these videos like a Tarawa Terrace garage 🤔

You should like the crossfire with that belt rig. My crossfire MK7 works with nixie LFR(gotta pack it a certain way) and my jayjays webbing. Keep seeing the upgraded TT 3 day pack. Think I may have to get it.

I've also found the alice frame is too tall for my back with a butt pack. Neanderthal proportion problems I guess... thanks for the considerations!

Awesome loadout man! Yah personally i’ve only used the nixieworks belt kit but i haven’t found a external frame pack that works with it even with it packed minimally. One thing i did was use a nitelze packing cube to act almost like an internal pack frame. Still haven’t found a concrete solution just kinda getting buy with running a med alice without frame and relying on the buttpack harness to carry the load.

Good KIT FOR MILITARY. Thanks,Sir.

Hey mate if you want to plus up the day pack further you can always add mystery ranch/crossfire "daypack" lid i believe it's called. Easy conversion to do and could let you get closer to what an alice pack may carry.

I use the eberly little brother pack from my skycrane 2 and it’s sits perfectly on top of the but pack. It also is little taller on top compared to most similar size pack no to dissimilar to a hiking pack vs a regular 3 day in a sense. Works way better then sim other packs I tried. Not the largest pack but that’s the point with this setup..

Have you thought about doing a video on boots and/or foot care considerations?

You won't look back once you get the Crossfire DG3, especially with a belt kit and/or body armour.

There's mystery ranch 2 or 3 dap. Get the small- medium frame sheet and crank it all the way up

What kinda main kit do you use in conjunction with a ruck and belt, a plate carrier or belly chest rig, or?

What do you think about adding a thin plastic cutting board between the water bladder and the back of the pack?

Hey, Thanks for showing your ideas. Did you already consider the 5.11 RUSH ruck series for you kit to use...??

I ROCK THE OLD SCHOOL LBV WITH SOE BUTTPACK AND THE SPECOPS BRAND ULTRA RUCK ON ALICE PACK FRAME FOR LONR RANGE PATROLLING, ALMOST THE SAME AS WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED TO THE REGIMENT, THEN ALL THE TRASITION TO CHEST RIGS STARTED 6 YEARS LATER , NOW ITS ANCIENT GEAR FOR SOME, NOT ME, I ROCK ALL ALICE NOW THAT I AM RETIRED , OUTFUCKINGSTANDING VID , DRIVE ON SUA SPONTE RANGERS LEAD THE WAY

could you/would you, wear a flak vest or plate carrier under the belt kit. or would it be to cumbersome

You could also use a medium alice with a molle 2 medium pack frame

leukotape stuck to waxed parchment paper and flat folded in your med kit and around your foot powder bottle is great for hot spots, vastly superior to medical tape, does most things duct tape and hockey tape can, and with your leatherman makes lots of fast H band aids

Could you fit your sleeping pad on the top where you've got your sandbags? - might free up that bottom pouch got you!

Did you checked platatac spur tropical pack for backpack considering

Im a an 0331 and have been a Yat Ya grunt When I was running with the Lava Dogs out in Hawaii. I ran an ILBE RECON ruck and assault pack. Then sometimes an OD Green Tac Tailor 3 day plus like the L/Corporal here. After hitting the beach jungle boots are amazing. Now that I'm with the 24th MEU I'll be humping the pig on the battalion landing team. I need to know which ruck is gonna hold up better to beach landings? The Newer FILBE or the Army's MOLLE 2nd gen Large ruck and assault pack with their integral rifleman kits? Now I'm in the Jungle alot so I need a serious response. Thank You, Semper Fidelis and Gawd Bless the Dawgs of Helmand

Are you in a leadership position? or can you do this if your just a regular joe when i get to my unit i want to be as efficient as possible. or should i just rely on CIF issued gear

Have you tried out the Army’s medium ruck?

What is total weight of the pack and belt system?

How tall is that bag? 18/20in?

hi, how many liter is the backpack?

How unfortunate that your assault pack is so small. I wish that I could recommend proper replacement, but short rucksacks went out of fashion during the Cold war. Maybe you should get one taylored.

You're better off going to rucksack and a haversack I'll carry everything you need to use

Cool video! 👍Are you interested in using our tactical gear for free and reviewing?

get a hammock and delete the sleeping pad, way less cumbersome. SOS rations are way lighter and smaller than MREs, you can fit 6 days worth in a SAW pouch. but they're near flavorless, so keep the hot sauce & snacks handy.

The Alice pack frame is too short for me. I am using the medium Alice pack on a FILBE frame as a compliment to my LBE survival harness...at least in the warm months.
