MOLLE style packs

[trimix]

Most of us have a daysack to bung in the car with some "bits n pieces" for the days stalking and I wondered if anyone is using one these MOLLE style daysack packs for their stalking gear?

They look quite practical with the zipped compartments.

Id be keen to hear from anyone using these- to hear some feedback and also if its a 28 or 40 litre size.

I use a Camelbac Ambush one http://shop.camelbak.com/ambush/d/1097. It's only about 3 litres of of space plus 3.1 for water sack. I fit my knives, drag harness, bags for offal, gloves, cable ties and hang a flask on the moelle attachments for when i'm sitting up. It's small enough not to interfere with your rifle ( though do tie down the top handle, that can catch in your bipod) and doesn't hang out past your side and get caught up in bushes as you go the through the undergrowth. If you want a bit more room, either don't use the water sac or buy the next size up which is the M.U.L.E - 3 litres water sack and 8 litres storage http://shop.camelbak.com/mule/d/1092_cl_726.

I use mine all the time and because everything is kept together its hard to leave things behind because you've left them in another coat pocket. Highly recommend them

Well after 30 years in the mountains (INCLUDING ARCTIC) and 7 years miltiary Infantry service I am surprised you feel my query to be "totallydim" and you dont know what MOLLE system is--oh dear
You may like to reconsider your approach to this forum.

2452? You short timer!

TBF, I think srvet was being self-deprecating with his question; implying that he was dim-witted for not knowing what the Molle system is.

trimix: I think srvet meant that his own question was "dim" not yours

+ 1. Bit of an over reaction.

Too big - looked at them and think they'd get in the way and catch on branches etc, plus make carrying your gun more difficult and possibly more difficult to get into action. And how much kit do you need ? Are you intending to take the stag home in it . Seriously though, too much to carry around, unless i suppose you're going onto the hills for a whole day and need extra equipment ?

Check your pm's

Cant see anyone answered your question - the moelle (pronounced molly) are the loops on the equipment that other equipment with straps can be attached to. Check out the links in my first resp[onse and you'll see what I mean - so nope you don't need one - unless you're a gadget freek - like me or like being strapped down

Molle grid adds lot of weight to any pack i'd personal avoid it for stalking work as I prefer to go as light. It does add a good bit of protection to the bag and will allow you to customise it to the n'th degree but from personal experience your better off geting a pack that suits your purposes first.

I have several of these which are decent quality (though nowhere near as good as there legion of followers would lead you to believe): http://www.kifaru.net/kifaru_tactical.html
This has proved useful as a roe bag with a big ortlieb dry bag I've carried 4 decent size roe with relative ease http://www.kifaru.net/cargochair_haulers.html
