Thank You Brother! I'll be making a pair of proper should straps for it ASAP. I always get tons of ideas from your videos. Just very little time to realize them. I literally read the reply on my phone through my email and walked out to the garage and shot the video. Absolutely the quickest Idea to publishing video I've every done! God Bless You As Well Brother!

Fantastic! Because I put the straps on without flipping the lid over, I put the straps on the wrong sides. After I published the video I put them on correctly and they worked perfectly. They still need a sternum strap.

Most of the channels I actually am fed great ideas by are NOT the mega channels with 50+ thousand subscribers. Unfortunately you really have to spend a lot of time finding them as UKposts doesn't really care about channels that aren't striving to be a "Business" or are "Infomercials. I also enjoy Hang Tough: www.youtube.com/@hangtough6503 and Matt Holbrook: www.youtube.com/@Matt_Holbrook These are real people that are incredibly ingenious/resourceful/creative etc..... These kind of people I would love to live near by. I can't imagine the amazing "think tank" and "project laboratory" we would create!

@@boonedockery7220 Thanks, I'll check out both.

I will be making a PROPPER set of shoulder straps for it ASAP!

Yeah.... I kinda learned the hard way....

You are very welcome! Thank you for your appreciation. I've never been a big fan of shoulder bags. The best style I have found is the "Sling Bag". Very wide, padded shoulder strap with a torso strap that secures the pack from moving and pulls the weight to your body so your shoulder doesn't bare all the weight. Hands down, I prefer a traditional Nap Sack/Backpack. @boonedockery7220 • 1 second ago Most of the channels I actually am fed great ideas by are NOT the mega channels with 50+ thousand subscribers.

@@boonedockery7220 Aw yes, I do have the Sling Bag, great bag as you stated. with the padded shoulder strap and the waist strap it does make it easier to handle. At this time though I use it as a travel bag with what I feel are my essentials and it works beautifully. I do like an open bag, one with not to many if any extra pockets, with shoulder straps have a great day Thanks again for your sharing

Yes! Subcompartmentalization!

Thank You Bill! I'm very happy you like the ILBE as much as I do!

Thank You Brother! Mystery Ranch really did a great job on the lid design. The make-shift ILBE lid pack will work much better once I make or purchase better straps. Mystery Ranch's lid will still be superior in every way, but playing with the ILBE lid will be a lot of fun!

Good Evening To You! I don't think the video would have been as effective had I not spoken.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!! I have said that TOOOOOO Many Times!!!! Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!

I think I'll track down a couple more lids to play with. Mission Specific Lids??????? Could Be Interesting......

@@boonedockery7220 I think that’s an excellent idea and look forward to seeing them my friend. Always thinking outside the box is good 😊

Thank You! I will check them out!

OOOOOOooooooooo........ I like where you're going with this!!!! I gotta play with this! Thank you for the great idea! Blessings Be Upon You And Yours Brother!

@@boonedockery7220 You are so welcome, brother. Shalom!

Well, because of you and Renaissance Marine, I will be making a PROPER set of shoulder straps!

@@boonedockery7220 YEAH?! Wow, am honored! 🙏🙏💪🇺🇸 Very cool!! i have been using my LC-1 for several weeks now, daily, and it has one old vietnam strap, the ruck is from 70's apparently, and i have one woodland strap 😂 3 generations lol can't wait to see what else you do

@@boonedockery7220 it's crazy when you were talking about the guy who makes vids, it sounded exactly like me but i also have music and mostly minecraft vids. i need to just take all my bushcraft, nature, survival, and outdoors vids and start a channel just for that. there's a lot of bangers in there, i must say! lol

Glad you think so! Thanks!

Thank You Brother! Now that I opened my brain to the idea again, I've got a few other things I've got to try! RM has some very cool surplus ideas! Thanks for checking his channel out and subscribing!

Thank You! I actually spent a good bit of time at Fort Bliss when I was in the Army.

I purchased it many years ago at a now defunct Christian Book store called Praises. Here's an amazon link to the exact one I have. It's pretty much the same price I purchased mine for. amzn.to/3DV15Ct Thank you very much for your support! God Bless You!

Thank you very much!
