Becker Patrol Pack

I have a large green Becker Patrol Pack. Looking to trade for a small version. Any help finding one of these rare packs would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I have a black, blackhawk patrol pack I'm not using -- looks unused to me.
 
I have the EAGLE INDUSTRIES MOLLE BECKER PATROL Pack. It only has slip pockets on the inside and one zippered pocket on the lid. It fits about the same as the ILBE Assault pack. What I like most about it is the fact that it doesn't have any pockets on the outside, and the fact that it doesn't hold too much. There are two 6" slip pockets on the inside/ side. and a long but narrow slip pocket along the inside back pocket. Mine came with a plastic backplate and a foam buttpad/ stiffiner "plate".

I used to use it as for day hikes, but now I just use it for road tripping bag when we don't take my truck (I have a extensive kit in my PV). It makes for a great day tripper though. It fits everything I'd need and a little more. The top is expandable which is nice, but I don't know that I'd want to load it down that much with it's suspension, although the waste belt is robust.

Here are some pictures I snapped this morning, I had to go through it anyways.















inside pockets


Lid zippered (only zipper on this pack)



Just to give you an idea of how much you can stow in this pack here is what I have in it:

40 degree Snugpak sleeping bag, Warrbonnet Silnylon tarp kit.
Bank line, 550, mess tin, wood stove, cat stove w/ fuel, USMC IFAK, belt, head lamp, flashlight, extra batteries, fire kit, sewing kt, multi-tool


3 MRE's, Rice, Soup, Gravy, Gatorade, SS 1 liter Water Bottle in outside slip pocket




Since this pack is not in production I would say the comparable pack would be the USMC ILBE Assault pack as it carries just as much, plus they are cheap.


 
Good looking gear setup there JP. Noticing a lot of coyote and a bit of MARPAT, I like your style!
 
Awesome thread for an awesome looking pack. Just stumbled on this thread while searching for info on the BPP. Would love to get my hands on one. Any of you guys willing to part with one?
 
Thanks for heads up Spike. I did check that out. The only place I saw that them was one of their dealers Entry Gear. And it was over $600. I was really looking for the smaller one. If anyone else has a lead one one let me know. I have been searching. eBay, several forum classifieds, etc. there is one on eBay now for $399.
 
you missed all the froo fraw last year when the yahoos copyrighted the word "bushcraft" when used in conjunction with an internet forum name?

yes, yes i did.

i hope some lawyers fixed that for them?
 
the folks they went after couldn't afford lawyers, so a few other forums ended up changing their name.
