Matt 'Axe' Axelson's (Ben Foster) Bloodied Tactical Vest, Backpack, and Accessories from Peter Berg's 2014 war drama, Lone Survivor. Tasked with capturing or killing the notorious Taliban leader, Ahmad Shah, SEAL Team 10 encounters more than they bargained for during their dangerous mission, Operation Red Wings. 'Axe' can be wearing this tactical rig and backpack during the deadly mission in Afghanistan. To guarantee the accuracy of the film, SEAL Team 10 survivor Marcus Luttrell was brought in to supervise the use and display of all tactical gear.
Manufactured by Kelty, Axe's backpack is the MAP 3500 model and is made for military and tactical purposes. This Military Assault Pack's (MAP) is made from nylon and includes numerous adjustable straps and compartments. Stuffed into the main compartment is a large piece of foam to help the bag keep its shape, however the smaller pouch has been stuffed with two different camouflage nets, nylon rope, and a pair of snips. The bag has also been outfitted with a taped-up water bottle, tripod, and sniper netting. The backpack has been production distressed with dirt and grime, and includes a few straps that have been wrapped in tan colored tape, giving the piece a weathered appearance.
Worn around Axe's chest is a tactical vest made by Pantac USA. The rig features numerous compartments for ammunition and accessories, however most of the pockets are currently empty. This particular vest shows significant production distressing with numerous holes and has been splattered with stage blood.
Both the backpack and the vest have been labeled for use by Axe, with the backpack bearing a faded inscription reading "Axe 4" and the tactical vest featuring "Axelson 2." Aside from the noted production distressing, this lot remains in very good production worn condition.
