What are you guys using?? Post pics..........I have been checking out the Haley flat pack myself, would love to see what you guys are running.

we are middle aged and out of shape. Put us in a plate carrier. Throw on a few mag pouchs. Some water.....And if we fall over we can't get up. A pack with any weight in it and we would be turtles on our backs.


......Now with that out of the way....I'm curious as well. I wonder if my Rush 24 would work with any plate carrier.

Here's my HSP Flatpack on a Mayflower APC.

Hmmm. Me like. Might have to FO on one. Question is what would I do with me camelback armorbak that currently resides on the back of my PC

My buddy has an Armorback. I like it.

Haley has a new Flatpack Plus coming out soon, from what I have heard.

And I have an Eagle MAP on my other PC, an RBAV. Those are very nice, as well.

ETA: Added pic.


Also ran an Eagle Yote for awhile, but unless you are frequently carrying a helmet in it, it's just not really necessary and the MAP or Flatpack are better choices, IMO.

Good luck!

I've got a MAP...but I took it off after a few weeks.  Was having too much trouble fitting behind a steering wheel or getting in and out of the turret.  

Instead I use this ruck/pack when I need to carry stuff.  A bit on the big side but it fits everything I need to sustain for up to 72hrs

How do you guys access an armor-mounted backpack?

Take the armor off? Call a buddy? some magic I don't understand?

There are some ready solutions on the market as http://ctoms.ca/Mission-Essential-Equipment/2ndLine-External-Accessories/paris-assault-pack.html and many DIY jury riggiing possibilities.

I don't carry a lot in mine. Weight is pain.

Hydration bladder, spare batteries, some extra Med supplies, some spare batteries, a VS-17 panel, and a couple licky/chewies.

The only thing I really mess with regularly is the bladder to fill it, the rest just sits there for if needed.

If so, sure a buddy could access it, or I could take off the PC, if necessary.

YMMV.


ETA: HSP has the Flatpack Plus available for pre-order on their site now, and a video of Travis explaining and demoing the bag. Looks like a nice bag for standalone use, EDC, or range use, but IMO, too large to consider use on a PC.

You don't, someone else gets stuff out of it for you.

Honestly I didn't much care for mine.  Either too much or too little space inside for stuff, and I never did figure out what would be good to keep in there.  The only things I have found useful on the back of my PC is my radio antenna and extra flashbangs if we're doing hood rat shit.  I'd much rather have a backpack than an attached thing
