They say that a winter storm is moving into the area tonight.... I'm heading out now! This will be a military surplus overnight adventure! Coming up soon. - Luke
Hey Luke I've been watching you awhile now and wanted you to know. You only live 36 miles from me and if you ever want some company let me know. I spent 12 years in the army as an Airborne Ranger and love the outdoors. And just in case you're wondering closer on the Tennessee side near the smokey mountains...
@@caseygreen9238 trust me he and i are trained to handle the most harsh conditions. He is a true trooper and i served 2 tours in Iraq so i think we can make it, but yes it's cold up here in the mountains right now , very wet.
hey luke, just thought you'd might like to know that there is a black variant of this available but it is a heck of a lot more rare to come across one ✌
I absolutely love mine. I keep a Sawyer mini filter and bag in the back pouch along with an Esbit pocket stove, fuel, fire kit, Stanley cup, and various other items. I have the complete FILBE system and at this point I really don't see me ever changing away from it. - Gabriel
Ive found that if I store my hydration bladder in the freezer after I am done with it. It keeps it fresh. It was actually a tip from a friend of mine and it works really well. The freezer kills anything that could cause problems. I just leave it in there until I’m ready to use it again and I’ve had no problems.
I use the older USMC ILBE system made by Source Tactical Hydration. Originally I got my set ups on eBay with new bladders, used but new looking carriers and new in the bag hoses and connectors. Yes it is a bit longer but I carry mine differently. A very large percentage of wheelchair users have adopted setups like this for nighttime hydration a d daytime use carried on the back of the chair.
Awesome tips, thanks Luke! I've always had problems with the hose section that grows mould very quickly, it looks like the quick-disconnect solves this issue. This is a BIG improvement overall to the civilian-style packs I've had in the past, good to see finally.
I have one of these packs but did not know what it was. You are absolutely right about your review. The harness system is sturdy enough for a wool blanket and tarp. With a gear belt you can get summer overnighter out of this pack no problem. I paid five bucks at thrift store.
Luke, I agree with your review... I love my FILBE hydration pack, sometimes by itself if I'm out for a few hours or hooked to the FILBE assault pack with the Grimlocks. I leave my Grimlocks on the hydration pack, making it a simple task once I decide what I need. One note: the correct replacement bladder is the CamelBak "Mil-Spec Antidote Short" - make sure the name of the product has that exact description and you're good to go.
This looks like an excellent hydration system. Well thought out designed well, easy on and off. Like the easy on/ off valve, instead of a bite valve. The large screw on cap is nice. Can pt ice in there or when done easy to dry out. My old system had a very small cover opening and it was next to impossible to dry out the bladder and the hose when done using.
Great multipurpose pack. Convenient small size, I just picked one up for the first time seeing them a month ago. $26. Seems the prices have dropped or just have to shop around. I did buy the bladder separately in new condition. total of $40 new bladder and this pack excellent deal. Thanks for the review
I must have an earlier version of the FILBE Hydration System. It doesn;t have the pockets yours does, but it holds a 3L military bladder and it has served me well for a few years. Thanks for the review. BTW, we're bracing for the winter storm as well. It will be a snow and ice event.
very good review but I have left CamelBaks behind because I have had bad luck with them in the past have leaking and soaking my whole backpack so now it is just easier for me to have 2 canteens
That's nice I've seen the camelbak version but I opt for the mule. That's the one I would suggest its low profile with more storage. Very lightweight to
thorsbeat if you don't mind me asking why do you prefer it over the camelbak? I'm looking at buying something like this, but this doesn't look like it has much storage to be honest.
Hey Luke, love the video. Was wondering if you had issues with mold/bacteria in bag or hose? And if so, any tips on preventing and cleaning. What to use?
I want something with a mesh back for air circulation. I want something that can pack some gear: snack, camera, binoculars, GPS, toilet paper. I also like waist and chest belt.
It is the one in the same, just better pals webbing and military tag. In the USMC, you'll get issued an ambush every once in a while cause the last guy lost his issued on and bought the civilian version to replace it.
Don't like bladders at all. Use to and realized they are more of a pain in the butt. Its hard to tell how much water you have left. Also If its freezing out and it leaks it could get all your stuff wet and that would not be fun and could be dangerous.
Looks fantastic. I had a similar water bag with the Camelbak Trizip, which unfortunately I sold. I miss that pack so this looks like a nice slimmed down alternative. Thanks for the video.
I'm ordered one of these from Amazon... After watching your video I realize the one I bought is a fake! It didn't come with a CamelBak bladder.. some off brand and there is no military label or number on it.
I have carried Camelbak for years, and never drink a drop, however when I carry 32 oz bottles I drink more. Is there a metering system which will tell you how much you have ingested?
I hate CamelBak bladders, even the military ones. Hard to clean, leak and their bite tube is terrible. Source tactical makes a much better product and I believe our military uses those as well. Also that little clip comes right off when walking through dense brush or even riding a bike. Better off with a Viper Bungee to hold the tube.
Now i have a Camelbak Mule and a Ambush and a FILBE Carrier for room i uses Sustainment pouch and loops of 550 paracord to the D rings on top and the pals or more loops 550 paracord .you can get two MRE'S & a Ponecho .now room for all the ten C's to stay a live i keep two of them in my truck .

It is supposed to be 20 degrees down here on the Coast, can't even imagine how cold it is up there in the mountains. Bundle up my friend

will the Crux 100 oz short fit in there as well ?

I recently bought one because of your favorable review. Thanks Luke ^^
It's a great kit brother, enjoy! - Luke
Multi purpose hydration pack. Genius mate.!

Makes a great EDC pack too. The best.

If you want different colors, I'm sure there are probably small backpack covers available that would be suitable.
Hey luke, u should get what i got....Camelbak Thermobak AB with a Armorback . it clips on the thermobak so u can double up on 2 bladders
Yes brother Luke USMC gear👍
Great review just ordered one. thanks
Thank you Luke😺

Is this one the mule, you refer to?
AWESOME CARRIER LUKE, LOVE THE REVIEWS...
Hey Luke, love the video. Was wondering if you had issues with mold/bacteria in bag or hose? And if so, any tips on preventing and cleaning. What to use?
What is the difference between mil-spec and civilian versions? I bought the Amazon (civilian) version.
Love your content... Love the channel. Now Show us your steak... All prompts to Haze.. take care and keep them comming
I use the camelbac mule for edc, bicycling,motorcycle and for short walks.
Thanks from Ukraine.
What so You think about The Eberlestock mini Me. It should fit you tast!
How does it connect to the FILBE day pack?
I want something with a mesh back for air circulation.
I want something that can pack some gear: snack, camera, binoculars, GPS, toilet paper.
I also like waist and chest belt.
Great review just like normal keep it up mate
Isnt this the camelbak ambush? Looks exactly like mine
It is the one in the same, just better pals webbing and military tag. In the USMC, you'll get issued an ambush every once in a while cause the last guy lost his issued on and bought the civilian version to replace it.
Isaac Housley thank you I was wondering this.
Is it possible to wear this together with the helikon Tex belt rig?
Excellent, USMC military-grade carrier which I own. Perfect for day hikes, mountain biking, range training, etc.
You should do a review on the highlander NI gloves, soooo comfy
How can you use it with assoult pack? Or without carrier - only hydration carrier inside filbe pack?
Thanks! Really helped!
Source makes a "Ulitimate Source M.C." water bladder that fits in there.
Nice vid. Thank you. I want one.
How much does it cost. I'm in Uganda
Luke, the gf said i can buy this ONLY because she realized it was you giving the review.
Don't like bladders at all. Use to and realized they are more of a pain in the butt. Its hard to tell how much water you have left. Also If its freezing out and it leaks it could get all your stuff wet and that would not be fun and could be dangerous.

whats the best tent for 50
..good review, but most of my fluids come in 12 packs..lol
I'll take a cool one brother! - Luke
I'm ordered one of these from Amazon... After watching your video I realize the one I bought is a fake! It didn't come with a CamelBak bladder.. some off brand and there is no military label or number on it.
Can you hook this to a plate carrier?
Nevermind you answered my question in the video
I have carried Camelbak for years, and never drink a drop, however when I carry 32 oz bottles I drink more. Is there a metering system which will tell you how much you have ingested?
Basic. Exactly how the Corps likes it.
I hate CamelBak bladders, even the military ones. Hard to clean, leak and their bite tube is terrible. Source tactical makes a much better product and I believe our military uses those as well. Also that little clip comes right off when walking through dense brush or even riding a bike. Better off with a Viper Bungee to hold the tube.
I have the camelback
Well you see it’s simple because marines aren’t exactly the sharpest crayon in the box.
Now i have a Camelbak Mule and a Ambush and a FILBE Carrier for room i uses Sustainment pouch and loops of 550 paracord to the D rings on top and the pals or more loops 550 paracord .you can get two MRE'S & a Ponecho .now room for all the ten C's to stay a live i keep two of them in my truck .
