    I have never watched your videos before, and I have never looked at dying bags. However, I was thinking about it and blackie thomas was mentioning it in a video I watched today.
    Thank you for this video, I was worried about my like new 3 day pack and pouches. I was afraid I would not be able to take it overseas with me for missionary work as I didn't want to be a target by terrorists.
    By removing the US logo from the 3 day and sustainment pouches and dying with coyote brown, it will create an almost brand new pack, one would have to look closely to see that. It will also match my helikon-tex satchel in coyote brown with filbe sustainment pouches a lot better.
    Thank you again for this video, God bless you and my Jesus forever guide your path.

    Great video, been thinking about getting some ucp gear and dying it for a while now and this pretty much sold me on it. Keep up the good work 👌

      ​@@thatpackguyI too received a large ruck, from a seller on ebay, which was missing ALL of the male buckles. It was said to be new in the package, but there was a sizable hole in the wrapper.

    Hello, Mr. Professional Modifier, I would like to ask you some questions about the shoulder straps and waist belt of the Alice Frame series system. I am only 171 cm tall, and the Alice back frame is quite suitable for a small person like me. Last year I bought a second-hand LBT 1749 ACU version. I like the ACU very much. I live in Taipei, Taiwan. There are many gray and gravel building materials in the city that go well with the ACU. After using lbt 1749, I found that my chest is not strong enough and my waist is not thick enough (30 waist), so there are always gaps in the shoulder straps, and the belt is not very tight (I am afraid of breaking the belt when it is old). If it is summer, If I wear a T-shirt, the shoulder straps will have gaps and cannot be tightened, and the belt has a similar problem. If it is winter, I can wear the m65 jacket for a few books and it will be perfect, but if I wear a T-shirt in the summer, it will be very troublesome.
    The price of tactical tailor's malice pack is not cheap for me, and many sellers do not ship to Taiwan. I have seen good-priced malice packs for a long time and missed the opportunity because they did not ship to Taiwan. Tactical Tailor's Alice Back System shoulder straps and belts come in a variety of styles. I wonder if you know whether the shoulder straps and belts made by Tactical Tailor are suitable for people like me who are not tall enough and whose waist is not thick enough. These products in Taiwan are very unpopular. There are very few people who understand and it is difficult to communicate. Recently I discovered lbt 2657, he and lbt1749 is very similar, but I think the design of its shoulder straps and waistband is different from lbt1749. I am very interested in it, but I don’t know if there will be the same problem as lbt1749 where the shoulder straps and waistband cannot be tightened for small people. I don’t know if you know about this. Can you give me some suggestions? Thank you for your help. I wish you happiness and health😺👍

      @@a45456565 hello, unfortunately i do not have the suspension systems that you mentioned so i can't say whether or not they will fit you better. What suspension system are you currently using in the 1749b? The one that pairs up with this rucksack is the 2168e and it is super comfortable if you have the chance to come across it. Alternitavely i am also using MOLLE ii shoulder straps and hip belt, also another valid option. I used to have a Malice pack by Tactical Tailor and also their straps and hip belt are super comfortable, and i don't think the size/height of the wearer is an issue. I have found all the aforementioned suspension systems a valid option for the 1749b, i hope this helps

      @@thatpackguy Thank you very much for your reply 😺 I'm not sure what model the shoulder straps and waist belt are, but they are the whole system of LBT 1749. My problem is that I don't have enough body fat or muscle mass, and the straps have been pulled to the tightest and still can't tighten the body, and there will be gaps and looseness. , if you put on the m65 jacket to increase the thickness of the body, it will be no problem. The shoulder strap design is very good, and it greatly improves the carrying experience. This problem also occurs with some Eberlestock backpacks. I have to wear a jacket to make the body one size larger. Thank you very much for your suggestion, I can safely look for the right malice acu pack😆

    What rit dye did you use for the ranger green bag?

      @@bababooie5859 that was initially a failed experiment with Dharma Acid Dyes, it ended up darkening the whole pack to a dark grey. Afterwards I dipped it in Rit Apple Green and that ended up turning out into a muted ranger green, so it was a total fluke
