3 Reasons NOT to buy a MOLLE backpack 🤯

[brockhuber]

Rule number one-Always look cool
Rule number two- Don't get lost
Rule number three- If lost, look cool

[jamespringleii]

Preppers already know they’re a target.

[ExtraJackson]

“Looks dumb” is not an objective reason. It’s an opinion.

[macg]

except that everyone uses MOLLE packs now, so even a fat, out of shape person carrying a MOLLE pack is NEVER going to be mistaken as military

[FuknKms]

Reason number 1 why i use a molle backpack: it's what i got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Lemis]

Didn't listen at all. Sorry, the puppies got all my attention.

Something i dont understand is how a molle pack isn't translatable to multiple environments but some how a regular pack is.

[ExtremelyAverageMan]

"Not translatable into multiple environments" You'll have to explain that one, I have no idea what you were even trying to say there....with MOLLE I would argue it is the most versatile for hauling different gear for different environments. Backpacking, hiking, camping, overnight motorcycle trips, etc. Putting stuff on the outside isn't practical? What? Where do you put your Nalgene holders then? Where do you attach your wet gear to dry out while hiking then? Where do you attach additional pouches to hold more inventory? Do you even do outdoor activities? My FILBE was $50, is tough as nails, and will last me a lifetime. Good luck with your overpriced hipster pack.

Ngl price for price. civilian gear and military surplus, military surplus lasts longer

[brianriggin]

Profiling? The same goes for tattoos, the type of dogs you own, and content in YouTube channels. Could it be said you've been profiled?

[buckfutter]

You should’ve started with “ it just looks dumb”
I care about functionality, you care about looks. Yut.

[AshM]

Profiled: Ok the "Terrorist" will target me but if i go in a bank i get in and i get tf out, i dont stick around specially if someone is shifting, looking at camera and shit.

Looks dumb: Fucking subjective wtf???

Not translatable to other the fuck does this mean jimmy??

Extra: I can hook my 8L bag and my camping gear on it.

Nice fucking dogs tho.

Interesting points, I mainly use military packs for my gear since most civilian backpacks wear out quickly. I guess it really depends on the environment, if you live in a city than it’s probably gonna stand out more, I live in a small town in the south of USA and everyone here owns something with camo print 😂. It also depends on the situation, if we’re talking full on apocalypse then I don’t see the point in caring about the color of packs, most people would be too scared and would hide out in their homes at first, they wouldn’t come out until they needed something, after a week everyone who didn’t prepare would be dead only leaving those who did prepare left which would decrease the need for caring about stuff like bag color since everyone you meet would most likely be a prepper/fellow survivalist.

I agree with the first point. But that's more situation and environment rather than a negative point. If you want to be inconspicuous, use an inconspicuous backpack. If you want to be tactical and equip/attach multiple things to be prepared for more/dangerous situations, use the tactical MOLLE backpack.

[longdongsilver]

What do you mean its not translatable in multiple environments? I legit dont understand and am looking for clarification just so that's clear. In my opinion i think the "it makes you a target" idea is nonsense. Now a days i could where a shirt that says "i am literally carrying a gun bang bang i wanna be a hero look at me." And i guarantee you no one would bat an eye. Molle is on everything and it doesnt get any attention. I know people say that criminals are different but i just dont believe it. Please feel free to prove me wrong by showing me cases where armed civilians were targeted. I dont think you can go wrong by blending in but i am just not convinced these things matter. Just my 2 cents that no one asked for.

[jimbobborg]

I live within 20 miles of the Pentagon and two military installations. I don't stick out with my MOLLE backpack around here lol.

[jarvisskooge]

My girlfriend Molly always wears a backpack... and she's attracted to my profile. 😂

[jamesclark]

I like the pups! They are nice . Dogs are better than most people!

[herkload]

As a military aviator, I agree with your first point to a certain degree.

Whenever we go to certain countries we are advised to blend in and not stand out as this would make us more likely to be a target.

However, for the average civilian I don’t think this matters much considering I always see people wearing tactical gear back in the states and most people don’t care about it.

Thought the exact same thing when I was building my pepper pack. However a military backpack is compatible with body armor. So u can attach it to ur vest or even stick a plate in the pouch inside it on mine. Which will protect my stuff (water, radio etc) from getting holes in them.
