- In this video, I take a look at the Mystery Ranch 3-Day Assault Pack. This is simply one of the best bags I’ve ever used, touched, seen, you get the point..
Made in the USA from the best materials in bag making it’s an amazing piece of kit that deserves a better life than the one it leads going on occasional camping trips, ha. Expensive, yep! Amazing? Yep!
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know in the comments or hit me up via email or Instagram DM!

I've lusted over this pack for a long time, but like you said I have no real life use for it. It's funny how all the little things about a pack are so satisfying. I get you bro.
haha, it's a tough one. Part of me thinks I'll probably offer it up for swap. I find that the best way to deal with this kinda situation.
😂 you're such a bag nerd!!!! Keep 'em coming !!!
Oh man, great review, epic bag
Thanks bro!
Of course that works as a daily carry backpack....in Fallujah!
Nice review..... thanks for sharing!
Thanks ;)
Top nylon loop is for securing the bag so it stays in place while traveling in various vehicles and aircraft.
Whats your opinion on red rock packs...are they worth it ...ive had mine five years...the nylon straps they use for the shoulder and clip straps is the strongest ive ever seem
Put the finger in and rip it open. Got it 😂
This guy is hilarious. Way better than monotonous boring reviewers
I'm convinced we're bag brothers from another mother. I too got a 3DAP (circa 2014 so it's more bushcraft than urban EDC). At first, I mainly got it because it was one of my grails. The problem is I loved my GR1 and my Hill People Gear Aston House Backcountry (AHBC) was supposed to be my backcountry ultra comfort load carrier. So I didn't know what I would use it for. I then found out: it's perfect for hiking and adventures (particularly Triple Aught Design Quests). Would love for you to join my TAD goon squad btw.
Anyway, I'm one of those weirdoes who swear by the previous iteration and dislike the CL. The thing is, I much prefer the older version because of the multi-layer passthrough pockets that are perfect for passing trekking poles or other long things behind the water bottle pockets (that I never use since I use a water bladder). The CL version doesn't have these multi-layer pockets but gives you a dedicated laptop compartment.
This is a backcountry or hiking pack, not an EDC pack unless it's military EDC I guess. So this change means folks lost more than they gained IMHO.
I do hate how folding the waist belt (admittedly with the padded Live Wings) when stowed cannibalize the interior space, forcing you to keep them deployed if you want to fully utilize the interior space. Hate. This. So. Much.
It's like how I hate the external slash pocket that has no independent volume on GORUCK GR1s. And GR2s. And GR3s. And Ruckers. And Bullets. There's a pattern here...
Anyway, I enjoy your reviews because you're the opposite of Packhacker. I love the quick and efficient way PH Tom and his crew review bags. With you, I feel like I'm talking to a friend about our mutual addictions. You take your time, and make references and comparisons on screen in your videos.
Keep it up man!
Also, you are the only other person I've met who has packed a larger bag with a smaller bag inside, like a Russian matroyshka doll. In my case, I used my 21L Rucker as a packing cube and a GR3 as my transport bag. I needed the Rucker for an event and the GR3 was my bag garage.
haha, very much appreciate your comment. Re: the CL vs the older version I was more complaining about how people tend to make it sound like the build quality was much better. I recently had a chance to handle one from 2015 ish and for me there's nothing in the build quality differences. In fact, in a lot of ways the newer one felt better to me especially in terms of coatings on the materials. Your complaints about the CL are completely valid, for sure and not at all related to this. I think for folks who enjoy camping or K-Camping (korean style) it's a good bag because they tend to take some tech (I know how it sounds). I also spoke to a friend who was a former Seal and he said that he much prefers the design of the CL because in reality they need their tech nowadays and as he put it "it isn't 1975 anymore"..
So I guess it's all relative innit? I tend to just talk in my videos. A lot of people have mentioned I should script them but you know.. it's like you said. I consider them having a chat. I've always been a take it or leave it kind of guy. I have 30,000 followers on Instagram and similar on my website for photography stuff and a lot of my friends thought I was nuts to not leverage that for this and blah blah. A lot of folks who watch these videos probably have no idea I'm a photographer and that's fine. I want things to feel like you mentioned, having a chat with a friend about bags. No chance I can get my wife to talk about them with me, so.. haha.
I have a 30L Osprey for daily and I hate it lol. Barely enough room for my lunch bag, 48oz Nalgene. I have all the pockets full and that pretty much takes up room on the inside. This 3 day pack looks like it might work better.
I fit all of that and more in my 9.8L bag. Try getting a dedicated molle Nalgene holder if the bag has molle but doesnt have water bottle pouches on the sides.
PS - non-rigid cooler lunchbags help. Rigid ones arent meant to be packed inside another bag, they make poor use of space and cant be compressed down.
Seems a little too big to be a true assault pack. This is the kind of bag you would drop and stash before getting into combat, unlike something smaller that you would leave on. Even the 2DAP is kinda pushing it as a true assault pack.
But it seems like a great mini-ruck, hiking or camping bag, or a weekend travel bag. Possibly a winter EDC bag if you need to carry thick layers. Maybe even a motocycle bag that can fit a helmet / jacket / overpants.
Why size is this? XL or M/L?
Where do I purchase this bag
I like your style. Subbed.
Appreciate that ;)
@@jtinseoul7041 no problem man. Have you tried the 1dap?
@@sleepnclass No man, but it's on my list haha. Bums me out that it isn't teflon coated and ditches the wing pockets. I'll give it a go at some point when the wife lets me ;)
Hey man, nice review! Do u mind letting me know your height? Just to compare with mine for size-chosing, cheers.
I'm 170cm. Maybe a tad more!
Used this in Latvia with the Canadian Army.
Nice! I had a Canadian patch on it in an earlier video.
Solid review, this dude is f-ing funny too. I want that bag, but I think it’s too big to be a carry-on.
Definitely too big for me for most things.
You can use the straps to cinch it down to whatever size really.
Should fit pretty well in overhead. I’ve toted a Rush 72 all across the US and overseas as my assault pack and it fit in overhead bins stuffed full as fuck.
I just got a 3DAP and it’s a fair bit slimmer than the Rush 72.
The comment about the magazines had me cracking up
Ha, to this Canadian that stuff confused me at first. True story.
@@jtinseoul7041 Haha, as an American, the first thought that comes to mind when I hear magazine is a 30 round PMAG, not a playboy.
I don’t get why people shy away from tactical bags for EDC. I want a bag that carries well, and many tactical bags do. I love the shape of that, boxy, the Urban Assault looks goofy. They are just bags not weapons.
Just get the 2DAP if you the same bag but smaller.
Which iPad? My main complaint with MR is the yoke design makes slinging over one shoulder difficult.
iPad Pro 11 2020 ;)
Your watch looks awesome, what watch is that?
It's quite cheap haha Japanese made Seiko 5. Been no more than 30 seconds off since new though.
Have you tried the Mystery Ranch 2DAP?
Bro I see u subed my channel, thankyou! Lol I was watching your channel weeks ago, lol ur 3dap vid was awesome and funny! Keep it up bro
Nice dude, thanks. Just watching the Rip Ruck video now ;)
@@jtinseoul7041 it's a nice lil pack n quite cheap for mr
I have a 1-Dap on the way next week. Also our first baby so I dunno when the video will get made. Should be a cool pack, though!
@@jtinseoul7041 understandable I have 10 kids my youngest is 2 lol
8:39 that’s what she said
4:59 bottom left corner
That'd be Manbo. The more outgoing of my two cats ;)
@@jtinseoul7041 haha awesome. I was like, "Hey... I thought I saw something move" nice vid mate. 🤙
Appreciate it ;) Trying to get better for sure.
The nylon loop should be replaced with thick strong webbing in my opinion.
Definitely the part of the bag I hate most is that strap.
@@jtinseoul7041 perhaps take it to someone who could mod it and put one on for you, that's what I would do especially if the bag is packed full and you constantly putting the pack down during travels etc, I think it would be worth it.
I have several Mystery Ranch packs the 6500 and the two day assault but this bag for me would be a good addition add for when I need something in-between sizes and I would mod the handle. Failing that you should check out packs by Crib Gogh and Savotta or Warrior assault systems their bombproof packs too.
the 3 day BVS has exactly what you want if the daisy chain is what you mean, the loop is replaced with a molle panel.
Subscribed in honor of all the 500D youve touched in your life.
I've touched 1000D quite a lot as well. Sometimes even 1680D ;)
@@jtinseoul7041 its gettin hot in this room
This bag is not 29 liters it's 33.84 liters, the webbing on the side is PALS webbing, and it's not teflon coated that's the BVS version.
All the info I got I got directly from the MR website and the MR rep.
The cordura on the inside is shiny and slick and the outside is slightly crunchy. Forgive me for following the rep and the website on this. I just double checked and it certainly says 30L on the PDF.
3 Day Assault Pack is 33L. This is not an EDC pack. Look at the 3 Way Brief Case, that also doubles as a backpack.
The CL version of the 3Dap is actually 30L according to Mystery Ranch. You're speaking of the older versions that were 33L.
Don't you have a GR1 heritage? That's got to cost more than this bag.
In Korea, this bag costs like the equiv of around $500. The heritage shipped is around $450.
And actually this was before I got the Bellroy Apex which is certainly my most expensive backpack.
