You can find many more reviews for this bag on www.survivalistboards.com. This is by far the greatest bug out bag I have ever used. I was able to fit 700 founds of 7.62x39 ammo for my ak in the small front compartment. 5 days worth of foods in the large. Cloths, maps, first aid kit, and literally everything I could think of. Thats not the best part. Besides being extremely durable and high quality, the bag balances its weight and holds tight to you. This bag is the all in one bag any real survivalist would ever want. The price is excellent. My only problem is that the bag did not come with the molle gear break down paper work. So based on its design you are pretty much on your own to figure out where things go. This is a problem for new campers, hikers, and survivalists. I give this bag 5 out of 5 marks. It is perfect.

This bag is very large. The MOLLE attachments are all over this thing. The two side pouches are such an added bonus. It has Velcro sealed holes on the top and one on the side for a hydration pack. The shoulder straps and the waist straps are at least 3/4" thick with foam making it wearable for long periods. Plenty of space and rugged. Compare this pack to ones at your favorite outdoors store and you are saving 100's of dollars. I recommend this for any hiker, camper, students, or anyone who needs a spacious, stylish. extremely comfortable pack!

Got this pack to use for school (books ect..) and a few buckles broke and now my main zipper compartment is all messed up. the self fixing zippers came off tracks and can be pulled in both directions with no closing action. major dissapointment!!! My advice... fork up a little more cash and get something better. I have a old metal framed alice pack i use for camping and the quality is amazing got it for 5 bucks no zippers to break only snaps and pull cords. i could not imagine relying on the pack in a war situation.

I got my pack last week and it's better then I thought it would be. This Pack can be uses for just about anything you need. I will be ordering more so everyone in the family can have a very nice bob.

great backpack with more room than my alice pack, single stitching though

I bought 2 of these packs, one for me and the other for my brother-in-law. Mine is olive and his is black. The olive one is a lot better product than the black one, and is holding up alot better. The black one had a seam rip out, has plastic buckles to secure the top of the shoulder straps and the "antenna holes" just were not cut into it. Both the packs have had zipper issues, but the olive one not as bad. and both have the cheap plastic zipper pulls on them. They are good packs for the money, just as roomy as the camelback version, you just aren't paying for that brand name. the molle straps are tough and plenty. when i pack this sucker to go to the field i keep thinking i'm forgetting something because i still have room left when all my crap is in it.

I got the pack and was apprehensive at first but upon examination I was pleased at the quality of materials and workmanship. Pockets galore and enough molle straps to add on a bunch of gear. I will be flying to California in July and this will be my carry on bag. That ought to raise some eyebrows! My only complaint is that the kidney belt is not detachable. It gets in the way when carrying the bag by hand. But great bag.

Good price, but you get what you pay for. Alot of the stitching ripped on the inner compartments and a couple of clips broke on the outside. Other than that its a pretty good bag

Good price not so good quality. Stitching could be alot better,most of the traps are comming unstiched from main pack. Inner compartments torn open into outer compartments due to bad stitching. This pack has been to Iraq and back ,and now is in the trash. With some better quality in the assembly this would be the best pack you could ever own.

As the head of an underwater search and rescue I'am always looking good gear for my team. Saw this pack on CTD and got one for everyone on the team to carry all our dry gear. The team is more than happy with this pack. Jumping from truck to dock to boat these bags take a real beatting. Not one has let us down yet! We only have one problem, we can fill them! It's a great pack, for a great price!!

I've been looking for a good BOB/Emergency Kit bag for some time. Something that would hold everything I wanted and be comfortable to carry - without breaking the bank. This is that bag. I received it today - immediately filled it with everything on my list (see below) - and still have some room to spare (which I'll fill with a pair of pants, socks and a shirt). This bag has a great mix of nooks and crannies for compartmentalizing, and well placed exterior compression straps for keeping everything tight. I might have chosen a different setup for the main compartment interior compression straps - but that's an insignificant issue in an otherwise excellent product. For the money - it's the best bag out there, and I'll be ordering another one this week. What I packed: Lrg Fleece Blanket Military Poncho (heavy duty rubberized) w/ stakes and bungies Water Filter Jet Boil Camp Stove (+ 3 fuel canisters) Gerber LMF II knife Camping med kit Signal flares Compass 2-rolls trip wire Monocular Firestarter / lighter and matches 3-liter MSR water bladder 2 days worth of Mountain House dehydrated food 550 cord 1 pr thin gloves Balaclava Heavy fleece neck warmer

I ordered the M.O.L.L.E Assault Backpack a few months ago and I wish I had ordered it sooner. I have used it a few times for day hikes and I am impressed. When I recieved it I took my 4 year old son and zipped him in it, with his head poking out of the top, to judge it's size. It has more than enough room and I can see using it on overnight hiking/camping trips. It's great for the money. I might get my wife one she liked it so much.

I've had this pack for about a year now. Used for hiking, hunting and just regular vacations, i have had no problems. I usually find myself packing extra things just for the hell of it. For this price, there is no better option available. Although it does get hot on your shoulders, it is comfortable(soft shoulder straps and good support). What makes it get hot and cause perspiration is the material that makes it so comfortable. So, you really cant even complain about that. It is capable of holding a bladder for water and has a hole for the tube with velchro around it. There's so many options, you can basically alter it in any way to fit any situation.

Earlier this year I went searching for a 3 day pack that I could use as both a day hike pack, as well as a 72-hour BOB. I looked and looked. I ended up at a recreation outdoor shop here in town, and one of the employees recommended this bag. I wanted something comfortable, durable, rugged, and with plenty of pockets and space to load it up. I have found it in this pack. This pack is about 5500 cubic inches, has areas for all your gear. It has flexibility to add a hydration system (which I still need to do). I like the shoulder straps, chest-strap, and hip-straps. It has a padded back so it's very comfortable to wear - however my back does get a little hot. It has grab handles on the top, and sides. Stiching appears very durable. If your looking for a great 72hr bag, or a bag for day hikes, this is it. Yeah - it's military looking, but so what? It's better then those bright green or orange packs for 300 dollars more, with half the functionality. You can toss this in the dirt and not worry that it's going to rip open. For what I use it for, I'm going to give it 5 bullets.

I picked up this pack to take with me to Southern Africa for a vacation. When my route got changed up and I was booked to go through the Emirates I decided to leave it at home. I am not USG and did not want any hassles. I have used it extensively since then and love the functionality. Whether for a two day trip out of town, a day hike or as a "go bag" in the trunk of my car, this bag is the best I have owned. My MOLLE system first aid bag attaches easily and I always have space for the Camel Back system. Great product!!

I bought this pack from another source and then saw it here at CTD. I wasted more than $20! This pack has everything you could need. But id it doesn't, you still have the MOLLE system to add what you want. You can even add a hydration bladder behind the pack's padding and route the tube through the antenna hole. I spent a week in the bush with this pack, plus a few other MOLLE attachments, not just 3 days!

Really Sweet Pack!!! Really you could fill this thing up with supplies and some rations and live in the wilderness for about three days. It has these really cool snaps on the sides which I use to carry a rifle case and the side pouches are the perfect size for a standard U.S. Military Canteen. The inside has adjustable straps that secure everything you're carrying in there and keep it from rattling around. I use this pack whenever I go hiking, shooting, camping, and once used it as a suitcase (It just barely fit carry-on). Only problem I've found is that one of the pull-strings on the zippers broke off but I fixed it easily enough. Would recommend this pack to anyone!!!

I bought one of these last fall and have used it twice, but keep it packed full of stuff. In those two uses, one of the interior panels has completely torn loose, and one of the exterior cinch buckles has started to tear loose. It's an alright bag, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Dont expect Maxpedition or Tactical Tailor quality.

Take a lighter to all the threads before using it and watch closely. The internal pockets are cheap and so is the stitching, but with care, this pack has already worked well for my hunting pack. It is nice to have addon options like the shotgun shell pouches...

This bag is worth the price. I recived it two days before I left for a weekend campout. I was able to pack everything itin it that I would normally use two bags for.

This bag is what the name says it is, the ULTIMATE bag ever made and no problems ever, if you are looking for a good bag you found it!

This is the best pack I have ever used!When you buy this pack you will get your moneys worth.When I acquired this pack I was surprised at the quality of the 1000 denier nylon thats the same strength nylon used on my Bates USMC standard issue combat boots.I have tried alice packs and other packs for hiking,camping and training but they could not stand up to the test.I took this pack on a camping trip with me I hiked about 6-8 miles and my pack wieghed 61 pounds and I still had load of space.A few (Irish penants)but nothing big this pack is an excellent buy you are missing out if you dont get one.Go USMC!

This pack has it all: multiple attachment points, enough room to pack a 72-hour kit into, smaller pockets for smaller gear, extra room for even more stuff, and even velcro loops to keep extra straps in place. The only problems that I had with the pack was it had no hydration capatabilites, unless you buy a MOLLE hydration pack, and after about 30-minutes of walking/hiking, the right strap popped and I couldn't fix it until we had RTB'd. I'd suggest to buy some Gorilla duct tape just in case, you'll have room for it!

I got 2 of these packs a black one and the OD one, the black one had some issues with some stitching that came undone and there were no antenna holes where there were supposed to be. other than that these are great packs for the price, I unloaded my large ruck sack into this pack and thought for sure I forgot something because there was so much room left over! holds everything and then some. Has all the features of a pack 3 times the price.

I bought more then 30 of these for my SAR crew, and we only have had a zipper issue with one so far, replaced no problem with CTD. We like the pack, although its big...too big for some smaller people. Not a good day pack, but a great 72 hour bag, or for the larger members of our crew who can hump 80 lbs. Built well, and more then worth the price. Well thought out design.

I purchased this pack style prior to a three month archeological testing and survey project. Ive used this pack continuously for three months with no problems. It holds every piece of equipment I need for the field and then some. The exterior attachment points for extra equipment are superb when I have extended hiking and survey. I have to carry field books, tri-fold military shovel, long tape measures, survey gear, lunch, water, cameras, plus other digging equipment. You cant beat a pack of this type for meeting all your needs.

i am in inraq and trust this back is awsome cause it has been through alright. i been drug behind a truck, its fell out of a lmtv. i take it to the range and it workes wonders. it is also for traveling ause u can pack 2weeks worth clothes in thier. so i advise u to buy this pack cause u have no idea wat u are missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear on my own blood whoever doesn't buy this pack is missing out on some serious awesomeness! It definately pays itself ten times over and then a hundred times more. There's no other pack that can match this in any field. I've used it on trips ranging anywhere from backpacking trips to a two-week-long vacation, and there's nothing else like it. You definately won't be disappointed if you buy this!

I love to camp, and wanted a pack for all my things. This one is awesome. Very large capacity, and has plenty of pouches to organize all your gear. It has a very comfortable shoulder straps. I can't say anything bad about it... It has buckles and pouches all over it. I love the Molle loops on the pack. It's great for clipping gear onto for quick access. It's made of a heavy canvas material. I have no complaints.

This pack is great. So many compartments and so versatile that it can be used for anything. I bought it to use for hunting trips but I bought a black pack to use as a carry-on bag for flying because I can pack so much into it and since it has convenient handles that allow it to be carried like a suit case as well it make getting on and off a plane easy. I hope they come out with one in Army Digital so I can get one for my brother who is leaving for the Army in a few months.

I've had one of these packs for a while now and I'm starting to think I could fit my 2 year old in it. I've packed for a week long vacation in this bag and everything fit. Once packed, it carried nicely on my back. Great product !

I bought this pack not wanting to spend the money on a more expensive brand name. The pack arrived and one of the (very flimsy) plastic buckles were broken on the shoulder strap. CTD was happy to send me a new pack, but the second one had zipper problems and would not stay closed. My pack does not have to be made of steel, but it needs to do two things: stay on my back and hold my stuff inside-these two did neither. I sent the second pack back and told them not to bother with strike three. On the upside, the pack was very well organized and had a lot of interior pockets/pouches so things stay seperate and organized inside the pack. If they could work out the other stuff, this could be a good pack at a great price. Of course, CTD staff was very helpful with my reurns and that part of it went well. Unfortunately, the pack lived up to the company name-Cheaper than Dirt.

Cool four way zipper so you can open the bag when seated and get to stuff on either side or top without it all spilling out. Most bags have two zippers, but with four you can lots of access to your geat when riding on a truck so you can grap something without hoisting the bag into your lap. Nice rugged pack that looks just like the military pack but costs less. Nice pack because it is designed to carry lots of gear and still put more Molle pouches on the outside as well. Inside has a little office area for note pads, pens and such. I could not think of an improvement except to have more colors to pick from.

It's great! the only problem I found is, one of the straps at the sides got messed up after receibing the item with no reason, and I don't know how to fix it. But the backpack it's perfect.
