Cons :
Expensive
No color choices Summary :

When it comes to the best of the best tarps, the one company that comes to mind is Aqua Quest; they offer top shelf tarps and if you want the best of the best you will have to pay for it. Without a doubt you can find tarps of the same size for less and I have reviewed many and recommend many and with the Aqua Quest Guide, I recommend it as well.

If you are seeking a best of quality tarp that features excellent build quality this is what I would suggest.

Also, the overall weight of these tarps is very good especially when compared to some of Aqua Quests heavy duty tarps.

Speaking of durability, if you follow the channel and have seen all of my adventures, then you have seen this tarp go through some pretty wicked storms and never has it let me down. It is strong and has withstood strong 30mph winds with no problems.

Price : $35 at the time of filming

Dimensions: 6.5L x 4.4W x 6.5H in

Materials : 18/8 stainless steel and BPA free plastic

Weight : 25.3oz for the entire kit - 11.6oz for the pot and lid - 15.1oz for pot, lid and one bowl

(1) vented pot lid,
(2) 20oz bowls,
(2) bowl lids,
(1) Bowl lids can be used as cutting boards
(1) spatula with extending handle,
(1) ladle with extending handle

…

Review Pros :
Nice quality camping set

 
Good value for the money considering that smaller pots made from stainless can be just as much as the entire Stanley kit.

good for backpacking, truck camping and even overlanding

Durable

Easy to clean - speaking of which, I used this over a fire and was able to clean it up with barkeepers friend

Pot is of an excellent size - big enough to make meal a for 2 people or plenty of coffee

Everything nests together -

You can remove what you don’t need and leave it behind or even replace it with a stove, fuel, wash cloth, lighter, and so on.

Good handle, easy to deploy and to stow

Locking system

Lifetime warranty

Easy to clean 

Review Cons :

Fairly heavy if you carry the entire kit but it can be lessened if you leave components behind

The company says that the lids can be used as a cutting board; that’s a bit of a stretch. Why not say that the bottom of a bowl is a cutting board too, it’s flat and if that is all that you need to qualify as a cutting board….

Grab tab is plastic; not so much of a con but a warning; if you plan to use this over an open fire you will need to be careful to make sure that the grab tab doesn’t melt. You can of course replace the tab with a key ring or a piece of wire if needed.

Summary : For the money Stanley continues with their excellent offerings for outdoor enthusiasts. The kit offers a lot for money and provides the user or users multiple options for both backpacking and car camping.

 
Do you have any experience with this kit? If so please share your thoughts and experiences; how do you use the kit? Is it too heavy for backpacking? Perfect for overlanding?

Best Value Out There - USMC FILBE Assault Pack - Updated Long Term Review

FILBE 3 Day Assault Pack Coyote Tan Issued to USMC

Some call this the “FILL-BE” while others break it down, F.I.L.B.E. Calling it the FILBE sounds stupid in my opinion and I continue to call it the much more popular F.I.L.B.E.

FILBE stands for Family of Improved Load Bearing Equipment

Agenda Free Link : www.eBay.com

Price : Prices vary greatly depending on condition on eBay; around $50 will get you a good condition used pack.

Speaking of which, finding a new Assault pack is going to be difficult but used condition packs are readily available.

Included : What I would look for when buying one of these is the condition of the pack; get one that doesn’t feature rips or holes; if they are repaired I would check to see what has been done.

Packs should include the frame sheet - make sure that it is present.

Optional : This pack originally came with a top mounted assault pouch, some packs may include them or it may have to be purchased separately if you want it. The price of these is around $25 on eBay at the time of filming.

Weight of Pack : Around 4lbs

Materials : 600 denier Nylon construction - Cordura Nylon. Rubberized YKK Zippers

Dimensions : 20" x 14" x 8"

Capacity : Approx 2300 cubic inches of space - that’s 37L

Designed by Propper, Manufactured by Eagle Industries

NSN : 8465-01-600-7830

The USMC FILBE Assault Pack was designed to be carried on shorter missions by the United States Marine Corps and can be attach to the larger FILBE pack for the long haul. It is easy to access your gear with rubberized water-resistant zippers on a larger main space and a smaller outer compartment. Inside there is a stash / radio pocket to organize your gear or place a hydration bladder and a plastic frame sheet located in its own zippered compartment to add stiffness. The USMC FILBE Assault Pack is made from very durable Cordura Nylon that can take a beating. PALS webbing on each side and the front allows plenty of options to add other pouches as needed like an IFAK or Mag pouch.

Contour shoulder straps, sternum strap and stowable waist belt make the pack comfortable for carrying a heavy load.

Pros :

Increase value - Seriously, for $50 there is no better assault pack on the market from any company; imagine purchasing something similar from any of the big brands and you would be paying $400 easy.

Comfortable as far as a military pack goes - you have to keep in mind that this is a military surplus product; that means it was designed for utility first and comfort second. Overall though, it is a comfortable pac

Adaptable - I’ve used this pack for all sorts of purposes ranging from a day pack to overnight bag; if you plan to use it for an overnight bag, you will have to go with a minimal loadout.

The closed cell foam backing offers some ventilation.

Plenty of Pals webbing so you can attach what you want to where you want to.
Without a doubt this is my go to assault pack. I always have it ready to grab, pack and run if need be.

Carries a 3 liter hydration bladder without issue and does have ports to tube on both the left and right side.

Fairly water resistant

Very stable and solid as far as form goes thanks to the frame sheet.

Cons :

The biggest con for these packs is condition and being able to find it in the condition that you want. Be very careful on eBay, ask questions, look at the pics and get what you are going to be happy with.

When it comes to ventilation, this is a weak point; when hiking in hot conditions or when you are pushing yourself, your back will get wet and so will your shoulders.

Summary :

For the money, this is without a doubt one of the best assault packs on the market. The pack is spacious, tough, comfortable enough and is badass looking. It is versatile, has plenty of attachment areas and is worth the low cost that it is selling for currently.

Speaking of versatility, you can add a wide range of pouches to the pack including sustainment pouches to the sides to dramatically increase size.
