can anyone tell me or show me how to attach the hydration pack to the main pack?

Second picture of item description. You can see the triangular part with buckles going to the main pack

do they sell a quick release for the hydration bottle?

You can look on their page and see everything they sell. Just know that every single item they sell is a chinese knockoff of the real thing and not even made the same either! Get the real (only) ILBE designed by ARC'TERYX and manufactured by PROPPER INTERNATIONAL INC! You won't regret it.

Is this a real surplus pack or a knockoff?

THIS IS NOT MIL-SPEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally own many packs and also make my own pouches and accessories that ARE mil-spec and these aren't even close my friend! Please ignore Alex's comment. Im sure he's just unaware but every piece from the 750D Nylon down to the thread and webbing must meet military specifications and these do not! There also not made the same. Do your homework and you'll see for yourself. Simple proven point- look ar the zipper. It should be inverted by simply sewing on backwards and using reverse zipper pulls. The ILBE is made this way to decrease things getting snagged on the zipper. These FAKE packs don't have that. They did manage to use YKK but here's another point- the bucks should be Nexus. So the answer is an astounding NO sir/ma'am (and Alex/stop answering questions you don't know the answers to!)

where is the pack made?

Made in China. Made out of unicorns and rainbows! The real and only ILBE (Improved Load Bearing Equipment) is designed by ARC'TERYX and manufactured by PROPPER INTERNATIONAL INC!!! Buy the real thing and you'll thank yourself. This company should be kicked off Amazon for falsely representing our militaries gear and the fine companies that made them!!!
