Viper TACTICALStuffa Pouch

The pouch is well made from fabrics that feel robust and look great.A perfect addition to the back or sides of a Karrimor SF Predator 30 via MOLLE. I suspect it would also fit on the side of a Sabre or similar pack with side compression straps, or on a belt, as there’s a two channels top and bottom behind the MOLLE panel (see pic)I bought one pouch to carry my Kelly Kettle Trekker outside of the main pack to avoid pack content smelling of smoke. The Trekker fits perfectly and the pouch functions really well.So impressed with the pouch, I bought another.So far I’ve managed to fit:- 2 Season Snugpak sleeping bag (see fatter of the two pouches in the double photo)- DD 3x3 Tarp (with ease and space to spare; see thinner of the two pouches in the double photo)- British Army Goretex bivvy bag (with space to spare)

Excellent pouch, much roomier than I anticipated. I got one for hiking and I found that it very easily accomodated an entire compact kitchen consisting of a mini burner, folding pot/cup/pan set, a gas bottle, and assorted drink/soup sachets. It's well made and feels very strong. I feel like I could confidently carry quite a lot of weight in one of these and I'm going to get another for sure. Pleasantly surprised thus far, but I will update when I have been out on my next journey!

It's a good servicable long molle pouch of which the choice of its kind are limited. It's going to be fine for what I need it for for a long time and that's what you can hope for, especially for its price.Helikon Tex pouches are noticeably better in quality and in my opinion, durability, but, double the price, sometimes even triple for this, at the time of buying anyway.

I bought two of these pouches to add to my Karrimor SF 30 rucksack, I particularly wanted to fit a BCB Crusader MKII cook set on the outside but out of view, which includes the NATO Osprey bottle with plastic mug, anodised aluminium stove and cooking mug. I put a second NATO bottle (not the full cook set) and other easy to reach bits in the other side.Unlike the, otherwise exact same, Karrimor Predator 30, the Sabre 30 does not have PALS for attaching MOLLE pouches such as the Viper Stuffa. However the dimensions of this pouch seemed ideal to easily fit the Crusader cook set with room to spare, so worth a try. It is worth mentioning that surprisingly the full Crusader MkII cook set or the NATO bottle alone does actually fit into the elasticated side pouch of Sabre 30 ruck sack, but I didn’t want it all on view as it would annoy me LOL!I bought the two Viper pouches from Amazon and as expected I could ignore the MOLLE attachments and mount it to the Sabre in different ways.The first way I did this (photos taken on Burgundy carpet) was to first poke the bottom of the pouch into the elasticated side pocket of the Sabre ruck sack, then I unthreaded the ruck sack lower cinch strap from its buckle and passed it through a webbing loop on the front of Viper pouch immediately below the shock cord toggle, then reconnected the cinch strap to its buckle on the rucksack - this fixes the pouch in place.Then I unclipped the rucksacks top side cinch strap and put to around the top of the Viper pouch through the first loops of shock cord. This further supports the pouch from the top and is hidden beneath the top flap of the viper pouch when closed.One thing I did find is that the upper and lower side cinch straps of the Sabre 30 are quite short if cinching around something as wide as a NATO bottle, although they do reach. However to make it easier to cinch tight I essentially extended both upper and lower straps on both sides with a loop of Paracord - this works really well.The second way (photos taken on wooden floor) I attached the Viper pouches (after realising that under the MOLLE attachments are large belt loops) was to simply thread the upper and lower rucksack side cinch straps through the upper and lower Viper pouch belt loops, then cinch them as tight as required. The Paracord loops were still advantageous on the lower cinch strap.This second method allows the full size of the pouch to be expanded, because the pouch isn't tucked into the elasticated rucksack pocket. Both methods work well and the first method looks a little more compact if you don't need the full size of the Viper pouch.Update: Finally method 2.1, see the image with the grey floor background. I lengthened the lower cinch strap with a longer piece of 25mm webbing and a slide buckle to mount it to the existing strap (folding and taping the original strap no longer being used). This new longer strap allows the Viper pouch to be cinched tight at the bottom, around the pouch rather than behind it using the lower belt loop as method 2.0, securing water bottles / contents tightly to the pouch and compressing the rucksack behind at the same time.Version 2.1 is the best option in my opinion.I hope this is useful because I feel it works perfectly and looks almost factory fitted! It allows the modular approach and instead of having to buy the Sabre 35L with built in side pouches for extra room, and for those of us that don’t want or don’t have the Predator MOLLE version of this pack.

I use DD hammock gear but unable to get additional molle type pouches, this came up recommended from FB sites. It's a nice quality bag, the DD hammock camp fits in easy with room to spare, tighten it with the attached drawstrings and it's nice and secure. It's not waterproof so I still need my bag cover but this fits over it, the attachedment to my bag seams strong and I might get another soon.

The BCB Pouch for the Crusader Mk2 Cook Kit has awful and seemingly illogical Molle arrangement. This Viper Tactical Stuffa Pouch not only has a perfect molle layout and fitment it can carry the Crusader mk2 cookset and lid easily, 14 firedragon fuel blocks, spirit burner, matches, lighter, flint n steal, 2 sporks and the BCB pouch it replaces. I fitted a pair of these Viper stuffa to the sides a Kombat 40L MOLLE Assault Pack to make it more of a usable weekender pack.

If you are struggling to find a pouch that can definitely fit a Crusader MK2 cook set,( if you know you know )then this is for you.The order I stack is lid first, MK2 stove with Trangia inside, then MK2 cook pot, 58 osprey water bottle, 58 mug on top of that. My long food pouch spoon slides in followed by a Bear Grills ferro rod.The elasticated binding when tightened,with the well made toggle,holds it all together with not much excess material to take up and stops the rattle when walking.The top flap secures with an adjustable buckle.This pouch was made for this set up. It is durable and well stitched. The molle spacing is standard size with twin strap fixing. The BCB pouch I have was never up to the job for the MK2 and this is available in blackI will add photos on a later edit.
