The big ilbe pack is adjustable size, if you look on the frame where the actual bag is attached, you’ll see more holes to attach it to. When I used this thing in the Marines I’d set it up to be as small as possible for the situation
The whole system (main, hydration carrier, and 3 day bag) weighs almost seventeen pounds empty! I love the FILBE system and I agree, the lighter the setup the better!
Great review of the hydration carrier but if I was carrying that much gear I would just opt for the FILBE assault pack. Weight difference is like 2 pounds maybe
Sometimes I do just that, switch out for the 3 day assault pack. I've found that this hydration carrier is great for running. My in-between and pretty much my grab and go bag is the Eagle Industries Beavertail Assault Pack: ua-cam.com/video/5RJPNMMLFgU/v-deo.html
Thinking about getting one of these primarily as a small knapsack to add to both day hike loadout, and to round out my poor man's recreation of the USMC M1967 LCE setup, the one with the Belt + H-harness w butt pack and small combat pack, with this assuming the role of the combat pack /small ruck. Just need to figure out some mod to close off the opening for the bladder... Although tossing my 1.5 L CamelBak in there and using the extra room for storage is a possibility as well. Thanks for the review, great to see all the features thoroughly explored (even if it did kinda become a hydration bladder discussion/review for a while there lol)
I'd put my gear inside of a waterproof bag and not worry too much about closing the fill area for the bladder. Here's another video we put together: ua-cam.com/video/aTMBidWoqjQ/v-deo.html
Evening buddy from 🇬🇧. That is some great kit. I use the British army gear. But i see you have the tent I've been wanting for year's lol. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time sir. ATVB Andy 🇬🇧 👍 ☕
im considering ordering a fible main and potentally the others first i wanna get the main anyway i think its worth the price you guys have used it so much i feel confident in the quality
100% love the quality of this gear. It's current issue to the US Marines and if it's tough enough to meet their demands it's tough enough to meet anything we can throw at it. The FILBE main ruck is heavy though, 9-10 lbs empty.

I have the citizens Aqua land dive watch. I love that watch.
I've had mine for 18 years now and Gabriel is wearing one that I purchased in the mid to late 80's. Love these watches!

Outstanding!
Many thanks for the watch and comment!
I follow you from Italy. Congratulations. I'd like to see a review on the Filbe backpack.
I've always wanted to tour Italy. We are working on putting one together soon! Ciao!
@@robertsbushcraft you are very kind, thank you. I thank you for your prompt reply. Hello
Coyote brown looks good. Best gear in the military
Agreed!

@@robertsbushcraft im real 11 year old man i can handle it lol
With the main pack I ditched the plastic factory frame and went with an ALICE frame.
This is perfect for stealth camping on a mountain bike
Agreed 100% The loops and MOLLE allow for attaching more gear if needed, but, yes I agree with your statement!
@@robertsbushcraft i camp alot on a bike with just a Poncho (Alpha Shelter)and my gear would fit exactly like u have it stored.This is a great channel
@@woodslore4672 that's awesome and I thank you for your kind words!
