TGL: 0241 Backpack Cover Field Test

OptimusPrime

The Gear Locker tests the 0241 TBC on the field in this lates blogpost... "I am impressed with the 0241 TBC as it is a practical piece of gear with many uses besides its intended use. As far as using it as a Backpack cover it works well to keep the rain, sand and other elements off and out of the gear in your backpack. It also works well transforming my original camouflage pattern to another pattern that will be more effective in different environments at different times of the year.

The only down fall I saw, I believe the company has corrected in later models and that is in high wind conditions it can come off your pack. They since have added a drawstring, which will eliminate that problem and the slack when used on smaller packs. But this is well known information, I want to get to what I like about this product the most and that is its versatility. In a bushcraft, survival or self-reliance scenario every piece of gear has to have multifunction to be of use and the 0241 TBC does just that. In addition to its intended use I was able to make a stand out of limbs and catch rainwater for drinking, cooking and cleaning. The 0241 TBC also worked as a pouch when you needed to gather fire tender and bed making materials. Another use I found is if you combine it with a peace of cordage you can wrap you fish or meat up and put it in your backpack without getting blood and guts all over your other items in your kit. I also used it to contain my dirty and wet cloths for the trip home.

To sum this review up, the 0241 Tactical Backpack Cover was an extremely useful peace of gear that was light weight, durable, waterproof and I found to have many useful functions other than its intended use. The $28.00 you spend on this item could be well worth it if you find yourself in any of these scenarios or worse."
