How much does it cost?

[removed]

I think they retail for around $600, but I believe you can get them for like half that through some places

2/327? No Slack! My dude. I know you're a real one.

NFS!

NFS!

How you got it for free?

Long story short, had a surgeon come out on a mission with my platoon one time, in Afghanistan. Dude saw the garbage pack I had, asked if I liked the pack that this pencil pushing lieutenant was wearing, told him ya, he told the lt to have that pack ready for me after we got back and picked it up about a week later.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

I’m a wildland firefighter and Mystery Ranch is the most popular choice for the packs that we wear on the fire line. I also have a giant Mystery Ranch duffle bag that I use to haul around all of my gear for our 2-3 week “deployments” (called a ‘roll’). It holds everything I need to camp out and do my job for that period of time. Seriously well-made packs that are very well thought out for the tasks they’re designed for.

you can sign up with expert voice and link your military affiliation. 42% off retail with code.

Excuse my ignorance but aren’t these supplied to you for your deployments? I’m sure ever one customized things but you have to buy your own bags? Did I read that wrong?

Yea we used those for Med Packs. Great access to all our kit especially when working dismounted. Quick to pack up when peeling back.

r/buyitforlife and r/wellworn should like this

with exception of a few pieces of garments that are worthy (gortex jacket for wet weather, combat pants which i kept), most military supplies are well below the "good" standard. "will sustain life but not morale" is their MO.

edit: you must return the gortex stuff (or you'll be charged a lot of money - $500 plus per piece). combat pants you get to keep after deployment.

I’m confused by that but hard to know everything in life. There’s just so much wording thrown around for mil spec quality. I guess Goruck would be an example. I just assumed we were outfitting our soldiers with the best of the best.

oh no. military standard issued stuff is at best average. most of them are usable for infantry or noncombat personnel. some are downright terrible in quality. the military will never contract goruck or oakley to make anything.

the special ops i worked with did have better equipment. but even they liked to use their own gears sometimes. the seals get whatever they want.

Nice!

I find that disappointing to hear. Thank you for sharing that though.
