Inspired by the CEO/Chief Designer whose father served as an 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper/Ranger and grandfather survived the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Minuteman™ Pack is a highly versatile and scalable 35L (2200 cu-in) 3-day assault/patrol pack that is perfect for hiking, hunting, camping, and military/special operations.

Versatility:

The Minuteman uses a removable internal frame with 3 vertical aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum stays built to haul serious loads with the comfort and light weight of an internal-framed pack.

Laminated laser-cut PALS/MOLLE across the front and sides of the pack provide endless gear hauling options with traditional PALS webbing attachment points for lashing straps on the top and bottom. Vertical daisy chain loops on the front allow for weaving shock/bungee cord tie downs or attaching buckles for hanging various items.

The side pockets are great for securing tripods, rifles, or other long items on the outside. The bottom panel also contains MIL-SPEC PALS webbing for lashing sleep systems or other gear to the bottom of the pack.

The Minuteman has a large U-shaped clamshell opening with protective zipper gussets that double as a robust compression system. Laminated Velcro loop on the interior front and back walls are perfect for attaching gear with endless configuration possibilities.

All compression straps are reversible/removable to allow various configuration and gear-lashing capabilities.

Scalability:

Starting at 35 liters (2200 cu-in) and scalable up to 50+ liters using our optional sustainment pouches, top lid, beavertail, and sleep carrier system, this bag can turn into a solid rucksack/patrol pack loadout. For even more capability, our chest rigs can be attached to the shoulder straps or front of the pack as an extra pouch and stabilized around the waist using the included compression straps/buckles.

Organization:

The large main compartment has a large clamshell opening and is lined with laser-cut plush loop Velcro on the front and back interior walls for attaching hook-backed inserts or MOLLE pouches, making it easy to access and organize items.

An interior mesh zippered pocket can fit gloves, hats, scarfs, water filtration systems, or similar sized objects. The back wall has a sleeve for water bladders, laptops, or or other flat items. Two interior side pockets can carry water bladders, 32 oz. bottles, or other gear.

The pack has a built-in top lid with two zippered pockets and a large pocket on the bottom, as well as a smaller admin pocket on the top, and at the bottom of the pack is a hidden pocket for a rainfly, poncho, or other flat items.

Comfort:

We have implemented one of the simplest harness systems found on a pack. Our yoke system uses metal hardware to easily adjust the shoulder straps up and down, then lock into place. The physics of the hardware attachment method keeps the straps secured under heavy loads and creates the easiest, most durable yoke adjustment system on the market to date.

The shoulder straps, back pads, and lumbar are now individual removable/replaceable components consisting of cross-linked, closed-cell foam that feels almost like memory foam and will not lose its form over time. The rebound rate of this foam is 100% unlike other foams on the market that compress and deform with use.

Our removable TUFF Pack Straps have 4" of adjustment to accommodate different torso lengths
Back pads are now removable separately from the harness for wearing over body armor
Removable lumbar allows use of our optional Modular Hip Belt for heavier load-bearing capabilities
Includes a stowable 2" waist belt

Materials:

The pack is made with the most durable MIL-SPEC materials such as water-repellent YKK® AquaGuard® zippers and DWR/TPU-coated 500D/1000D nylon for superior protection from the elements. Reinforced material/stitching at all potential stress points, abrasion-resistant 1500D fabric at contact areas such as the front and side panels, and rock-solid meticulous construction make this pack ready for some serious use.

We are using a combination of ITW buckles and metal hardware for fail-proof reliability in the field. All straps and hardware can be easily replaced without stitching.

Durability:

The Minuteman Pack is named after an elite force who were hand-picked during the American Revolution and required to be highly mobile and assemble quickly. It is currently being used by active-duty military, withstanding the harshest of environments while handling significantly more weight than the average pack in its size class.

This is achieved by reinforcing all critical connection points with bartacks and triple stitching, and using the strongest USA-made materials available in the industry.

"Excellent product"

— Adam (5/5)

"The quality of the minuteman pack is obvious in its materials and construction. I've owned several military surplus packs, and this is a much needed upgrade for me. I'm using it more as a ruscksack, and the pack handles the weight very well. I love the shoulder straps and waist belt. COMFORTABLE and stable! I'm also utilizing the beaver tail, which is enhancing my carrying capability and capacity. Between the beaver tail and the provided compression straps, there's six total, NOTHING is moving. . . secured load! I went beast mode with my Minuteman pack, and I highly recommend it! Keep up the great work, Full Tang!!!"

Premium Modularity

"This is insanely well thought out and the construction is bulletproof. There is nothing like this on the market; the modularity allows it to be customized 1000 different ways. I'm so glad to see modularity achieved through molle and velcro attachment points and am excited to see how the ecosystem of accessories develops. Definitely on board for a lid pouch, already picked up the beavertail and the kangaroo insert pouch and would recommend buying those when you buy the bag. You WILL find a use for them."

Minuteman Pack is Great!!

"The quality is way better than I imagined, and the online pictures don’t do it justice. You really have to have the pack in your hands. I have just one suggestion that the company would shed some inside as to what the attachments could be used for and some basic attachment suggestions/instructions. A downloadable pdf on the website would be a great idea especially if adding other optional items. Great pack though! I’ve used it for several trips and it’s solid even with 30 lbs. You’ll love it!"

Best Modular Packout there on the market!

"Any hook back pouches or pockets work perfectly with it! Definitely good to ruck in and use daily! Will definitely recommend to others in the market!"

— Preston (5/5)

Comfortable and modular

"This pack is filled with molle, pockets, and loop for any hook accessories or packs. There are many buckles for compression allowing you to stuff this pack. There are also material loops to attach cordage or bungee cord. It's extremely comfortable for someone who's 5'5". The waist belt fits comfortably and allows lateral movement. The chest strap is very solid as well. There are a few features that I'm unfamiliar with on the pack yet, but I'm looking forward to maximizing it's use. The pack is a bit costly compared to it's competitors that are also made in the USA, but I am all for supporting small businesses and look forward to what FTT has to offer."

Amazing

"Best pack I own, can’t wait for the lid to come out."

— Ian G. (5/5)

"Anyone that’s into backpacking, hiking, military, law enforcement, or just tacticool, need this pack!! High quality, multi functional, and very modular. Good old American company with good values and excellent ingenuity!"
