Ruckdiculousness 9! The MOLLE 4,000! Howdy Folks! It's Time For A Little More Ruckdiculousness! A recent eBay find of an experimental rucksack designed for The U.S. Army Airborne became an instant purchase! After several months of using the pack I have learned much about it.
The MOLLE 4,000 that I purchased was a "Test Item" which led to the full production "Issue" item currently in use by Airborne forces of the U.S. Army. I will share all I have learned about this Ruckdiculously Awesome pack and will discuss the differences between the "Test Item" and the Issue Pack. I will also do a comparison an contrast of the MOLLE 4,000 and other packs I own and have used extensively.
