Regular Infantry would've used this type of pouch to carry more ammo and have more room for more pouches in the Chest rig, Vest, etc.

Benefit of the saw pouch is that it adds a solid shelf for a ruck or assault pack to rest on it

I received these same pouches when I was a saw gunner in SOI. When I got to the fleet I wasn't a saw gunner anymore, but I stilled used the pouches as a GP pouch.

i think most of pouches's purpose are depend on user's demands and situations. and thanks.it's really helpful for me.

ALICE gear really is hard to beat. Ive modernized with the MOLLE system but I still keep and use all of my old ALICE gear. Its smarter, stronger & offers more utility.

Merry Christmas to you! Love the video!!! Went to my fav military surplus store and found these in the bin for 10.00. Made a great addition to my combat/survival rig. Swap out my Butt pack on my one rig, and installed the SAW pouch for went I just want to go out for just a few hours. Have to love the ALICE gear.

I got a couple of these. They sit on the top sides of my Alice pack with a couple of canteens.

Nice to see ALICE gear still used. I enlisted in 2002 and was trained at Ft. Benning with ALICE gear. It worked. Then Bush sent Billions to the DoD and MOLLE was the new girl in town. I run an AK and I’m looking for AK mag ALICE gear. Thanks for the video.

so nice bag that you have , looking very handly for hiking and thanks for info.

You can perfectly fit five AK mags in one.

You might consider the ALICE buttpack and upgrading it with fastex snaps. It'll triple your load carrying capability and if you use the attachment eyelits with the LCE suspenders it will not sag.

I got a lot of modern gear but to be honest I've kind of thrown it in the corner and reverted back to Old School Alice gear. You can't go wrong with it. And someone who's just starting out trying to put a kit together it is very economically cheap to do.

John Sherwood sent me. Im into mil surplus and this was a good review. I'll be looking at your other vids Subbed

3 river blades he uses this pouch for his mountain house meals, 6 double servings I believe, Great video BTW

Enjoyed the video keep up the good work be blessed

The dimensions are EXACTLY the right size for 7 Aluminum GI magzaines. Something tells me that its no coincidence that it just so happens to hold the standard infantry combat load...

May 3, 2018---One thing a man can't have too many of is pouches. Got the 100 & 200 round ones along with the MRE pouch. Can't remember which one of these (200 round or MRE pouch) I've got 10 AR-15 loaded magazines in and it has no trouble with the weight or as far as tearing, etc. My MRE pouch holds my Ozark pot set along with a bunch of other stuff in the pouch and pots.

I made up an alice belt with suspenders. Old guys and their toys :) I got the butt pack but I like the SAW pouch.

Those bags are good for everything

THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS WILL HELP,

Good stuff. It's shape says that machine gunners can also carry big mags in it.👍

The FIRST POUCH you displayed is not a radio pouch. The RTO (Radio/Telephone Operator) or "Commo Guy" straps the SINCGARS radio on his rucksack metal frame or he packs it in his backpack along with other commo equipment. I've never seen an RTO carry his SINCGARS radio on his belt, it will be difficult to low crawl and the radio antenna will obstruct his movement. I believe the first pouch you displayed is the first generation GPS pouch. Yes, it's hard to imagine a GPS that big. Yet, during the GPS infancy, the military GPS is that big. They were in service from the first Gulf War up to the mid 2000's when they were eventually replaced with the latest GPS version. Think of the brick cellphones during the early days of the mobile phones, compare to the modern smart phones. The small and long pocket on the right side of the pouch is where you store the GPS battery, which is a non-standard battery type the size of 3 C-battery combined. Regarding the SECOND POUCH, we called that "PORK CHOP" pouch. The 200 round SAW magazine is nicknamed "pork chop" because it resembles....well....a pork chop!!! If I may suggest, get a "BUTT PACK" specifically designed for LCE (Load-Carrying Equipment) web belt and suspenders. The two ends of the suspender connects with the butt pack. A butt pack has larger storage capacity than a pork chop pouch. I find it unusual you actually like the LCE setup. They were still in use during my early days in the military. I thought they were ok, nothing spectacular. We were all ecstatic when the LCE was phased out. Nowadays, nobody will ever get caught wearing them. I have a rucksack full of old LCE equipment in my garage. I think they belong in a museum. I can suggest so many things on how to improve your LCE pack, but I don't wanna disclose too many trade secrets, hehe.

Have to get me one of them

Great Vid! Another must added to my list and also added a sub to your channel Thanks, Bob

I noticed in the thumbnail you have an OG-106 SAW pouch, or the one with the pull tab that looks similair to the one you went over. I am curious as to where you go it, as I am having major trouble finding one online

Just found your channel. Question: could the SAW pouch or radio pouch be sewn to the outside of the of the mil 2 qt canteen cover to make a grab and go survival kit or are the size differences to extreme

Nice!

Clever

Back in Vietnam War, I don't remember which time period, the SAW gunner carried an M16 with a bipod

Are there any online sources for ALICE pouches, double pistol mag pouches, SAW pouches in OD, Tan, black?

Are these taller than the 3-cell 30 rd magazine (AR-15 derived) small arms cases? Can't fit MP5 magazines in the latter, so I'm trying to find an alternative that works. Much older H&K stuff, especially for the MP5, commands a shocking premium and rarity. The MOLLE stuff looks *way* past tacky for my taste.

I think that the M60 30cal light Machine gun used a different pouch, the SAW pouch was for 5.56×45mm NATO Belts 2 100rds each where as the m60 was a 7.62×51mm NATO weapon

Have you done a video on a low profile range belt with ALICE?

Where did you find the radio pouch and how much was it? Also, where can I get a cheap saw pouch, I keep finding them for 25 dollars

We're these pouches round desert storm or it came along later?

M60 held 7.62

the end is coming, run forrest run

Do you reckon it would hold ak mags decently well?

How much ammo does a SAW Gunner carries in battle ?

Sir. Quick question.. Which is bigger, this (SAW) or the 2 QT canteen Carrier?

You need to ty-rap in your Alice clips, YT has tutorial's on how to do it, believe me you want to do this, now ask me how I know, lol. Somebody got a really good marine med kit in No. Missouri on public land during hunting season yrs ago.

...hmmm, let me try that with the 308 mags!!! THANKS!!! =)

3:45 colombian woodland acu pattern

M60 fire 7.62X51
