can this pack hold my military sleep system?

It and this pack are designed to fit together and i keep my mss in here all the time. Will even fit fully assembled with all 4pcs (2 sleeping bags, bivy and stuff sack). This leaves me enough room for a pillow, some clothes and my thermarest pad in just the main compartment. I don't keep my reservoir in there though and i sugges removing the radio pouch for ease of getting your mss in and out.

Yes this pack is designed to carry the MSS. Pack it in the compression sack and then into the bottom of the pack. Then Drive on.

Yes. Without question. If you want to see a demo go check out you tube channel ... MAINEPREPPER. I think he demoed one with the full sleep system.
2054133
Yes, very well with lots of room for other stuff. . It's pretty big inside. .

Yes. That's where I kept mine in the field and Iraq. Helps if you have a compression sack

Can't answer that Matthew. I bought a bunch of these & sent them to US military staff overseas because of polluted air to help them sleep better.I suggest checking at the 3M website for specific info and/or checking with their customer service folks. Good luck. Doug

Should be no problem holding a few heavy textbooks, notebooks, pencils/pens, etc. The material is heavy duty - military grade. The bag is a litlle larger than a regular size day pack.

Yes it would. The bottom rifle butt holder that hangs out the bottom right is not the only securing function of the system to hold the rifle. Each pocket that the rifle slides in behind cinches down to hold the rifle tight against the side of the pack taking a lot of the weight off the "butt holder". I carry a .45/70 long barrel which is a heavy gun and I have had not trouble at all. The pack is Multi and I mean MULTI-functional. I have no negative comments about this pack that I think of at the moment. I am getting ready to go back out soon, so I can report if any issues. I had a little issue figuring out the space bar that holds the pack open and there is no instructions or videos but I figured out what works for me.

If you take off the side pouch it should be possible. Pack is much larger than it appears in the pictures. Good luck and happy hunting!

SoCal... The quick answer is depends. A standard military-issued (SI) Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) is pretty large... This pack is barely large enough to hold one. However, if you use something like the Wise Foods or Mountain House prepared meals, you can fit 3. If I can take a picture and show you, I will do that. My advice is go with the Rush24 for backpacking applications. I use the Rush10 for EDC. I have my CHL weapon, a Wise meal and various things I use on a daily basis in mine. It's a great pack and 5.11 makes wonderful products!!

I'm in the army and was looking for a camping backpack that can hold a-lot of equipment. Even though it is a nice pack, it is more like a hiking day pack. I'm 5 foot 9 inches. It fits me well. it should fit you as well it can adjust.

Not readily no, but it is possible. It is however made to attach to the outside of full sized Osprey packs, so perhaps your pack will work as well.

i've seen this pack before, haven't purchased yet (will soon) and the short answer is yes. it might put some strain on you, but i think you could work it out. the only problem i would see is the boots, but you could fix that probably. so, yes, if your willing to carry it.

the outer shell has a space in the entrance of the tent that can house your pack. but there is no bottom to it,so i use a tarp right out side the main door..i dont know the size of your pack but i use a 3 day military pack and it fits well in there..hope this helps..

This is a pretty big pack and very adjustable. I don't think you will have any problems with this fitting you. This is the same pack as the Army issues and they fit all sizes.

you could roll it up. Only issue I see is that it has a bit of back support built into it. Not much, but enough to keep it from "stuffing" nicely. It does have rings and straps on it that are built to attach it externally to other osprey packs to increase overall storage capacity. So even if its not built for the pack you have, external storage would probably still be an option.

i just finished trying the set up you suggested (minus the vest) and found that when the packs are strapped to my sides at waist height the 3 inch bulge on either side was noticeable I add a sweat shirt and came to the conclusion that the only way the packs would remained concealed is if you like extremely baggy clothing. or wear a vest like they do in the military and police forces in which case the vest plus the packs would make you look very round (still need a not so baggy sweat shirt for this to work tho).

Hunter, this is a solid military pack. I use and will continue to use my pack for whatever I choose. The pack I received was like new....buckles, belts, straps all in great working order. It does have the flash of some of the civilian styled bags do. But for all around solid service....this is the pack you have. If it is good enough for our Marine Corps.....it is well and good enough for me. I don't think you could go wrong with this pack.
