saying hi and first post
I am looking for a pack to keep in my car and for hiking/camping i only get to camp and hike about 3 to 4 times a year. I am wanting to spend about 70.00 dollars i know that not much for a pack. Most of the time it will be in the trunk going from car to car but i will...
It all started several months ago when I was telling my buddy about the undeveloped / primitive camping spots on the Angelina River here in Jasper Texas. Years ago we used to go camping along the bayous and marshes around Bridge City and Orangefield, Texas. But we have not done that in several...
This resides in the trunk of my car.
The bag is a Molle II rucksack.
Shelter, 8x10 lightweight poly tarp
Ground tarp, waterproof hat and skeeter net.
Sleep roll, contains Gor-Tex Bivvy sack, intermediate sleeping bag (30 deg F), fleece bag liner (adds 10 deg), self inflating...
So I'm looking to buy a small BOB/pack. Not necessarily for long-term survival, but something that will help in a SHTF situation, or just camping. My budget is quite small and this will be put together over a couple of weeks.
Needless to say, I've been looking for a cheap pack/bag to use. I...
I am looking for a good 2 to 3 day pack. Lots of pockets. Tough. Inexpensive.
I like the one listed by lapolicegear.com for $29 but they haven't had any OD green packs in for a long time. (don't want black)
Are there any comparable packs out there at a comparable price? (or a little more)
After about 15 years of using the medium ALICE pack as my primary warm/hot weather backpack, I decided it was time for a change. So I got on Ebay and after looking through some of the listings, I decided to go with the large MOLLE pack with internal sleep system carrier.
There are 2 versions...

I have switched over to a large molle II pack as my main camping pack - except when I'am going lightweight. The problem is, the large molle II lacks external pouches. I added a small maxpedition clam pouch, which is about 6 X 4 - its great for small items like my wallet and keys.
What I need...
I keep a prepped 3-day pack in the car trunk and in the home (both courtesy of the US Navy), and also a 3-dayer in behind the truck seat.
However for camping trips I take my old dependable and durable commercial backpack. It's unique for a few of reasons.
First, I got it for Christmas 1976, I...
This is a basic description of 2 different MOLLE packs and the medium Alice backpack.
The packs that were used for this video include:
Large MOLLE pack with internal sleep system compartment - digital camo, internal sleep system compartment, plastic frame, no external pouches or internal...
I need a rucksack for a extended periods bug out bag, i would like to have the option to carry a gun on the pack but i don't have to. i can't spend more than 200 dollars on it, but if i really like the ruck i will pay a little more but not much
I need to find a bag I can use every day. I have a normal every day book bag but the zipper is breaking. (It doesn't want to zip up the one side). So I want to take this opportunity to get a better bag. I was thinking of getting one of the daypacks or 3-day packs. My lunch kit is 10 inch...
I've had a CFP-90 pack for over 15 years. the other day as I was "rearranging" the closet, I grabbed the pack by the straps and the triangular plastic piece that mounts the shoulder straps to the back bar crumbled. does anyone have a set of replacement straps or a fix for this item?
Thanks,
dave
Is there any aftermarket METAL frames for the MOLLE pack? I like the MOLLE system way better than the alice but i'm not digging the plastic frame.
This is the pack that i would be using: https://www.entrygear.com/product.asp?id=4208
Thanks. By the way im not a sniper thats what i want to be...
Internal frame VS external frame backpacks, ask a group of backpackers which one they prefer and your sure to get a variety of answers. The truth is, asking about internal and external frame packs is like asking about:
chevy or ford
dodge or toyota
apples or oranges
iron man or spider man...
The other day I received a question asking which one would make a good 2 day pack - MOLLE II Rifleman pack, ALICE pack , MOLLE II pack, or something from Maxpedition . In my opinion, there is no clear cut answer. The large ALICE packs are big, but their too "fat" - meaning they extend off...
Just ordered my add on pack from west.loadup.com. It is a combat pack and can attatch to my MOLLE II Riflemans pack. Giving me a little extra space and versatility. It should be here Wednesday or Thursday. I'll let you know how it works for me.
