I made a simple straight frame with a shelf like extension on the bottom out of PVC. My goal wasn't to do with increased capacity or ergonomics. I did it to make the pack stand up in a semi cab or car. In a truck it's bungeed to the jump seat or on the floor between seats. And it works in the sleeper too. I have cook kit and rain gear, snacks, C.D.s, all in one place. I can even use it for a C.B. radio bag. I like your container idea for the pouches, but what brand of wipes? Because iveynever seen them in a bucket before!
I like the slide closures on the pockets. I had the same version. Way better than whatever those newer ones are suppose to do. Only problem is once they start to come apart they’re toast.
Boulion cubes are so good, but paraffin does have carcinogens/the smoke and burn off is no good a beeswax candle will be healthier to burn and use as an open flame for cooking
Great idea. I have my ALICE pack on a MOLLE frame, but it still has the same problem, I will be looking into a way to do this on my frame. I love the ALICE pack, but the MOLLE frame gives a lot more attachment points and is a lot more comfortable. Thanks for the ideas. When heating PVC, I use a heat gun, it is quick and effective. Works even better if you put the PVC on an aluminum foil background.
I don't know how your tubing ends at the bottom. But all you have to do is make you some dole rods. And put it inside the PVC. Then you can screw these lagbbolts into it, make it like that.

@@maxpinson5002 yeah. mine were the metal slides and I replaced with fastex buckles. i like the idea of newer metal buckles (type he showed) instead of the new plastic but was much easier to get into with fastex but not as durable as the old gear. I have a few myself and I have been playing with one of them to see what works and what doesn't for me.
They're just the mini tactical belt buckles. I have the same one larger for my belts And I kept looking on amazon and I found smaller ones they're great
These are so much better than August and farms are already wise I don't have to make 4 servings in each pack these come individually rap so you can have one meal or six meals
I saw a 3 in1 blanket ,cushion, poncho with a zip like this I think they used a similar idea I use mine with a poncho over it to make sure it's water right great idea though
They were initially made during the Cold War so they expected us to go to Germany and Siberia and stuff like that but they also were issued to the people in Alaska so I'm definitely not going to have any problem here in Tennessee
Yeah that would make sense but you know you're dealing with the military application so it's just basically made for a lightweight sleeping bag when you tie it to the poncho liner then fold it in half and slide in
Helikon Tex liner 65,00 $ or Mil-Tec liner 24.00 $ + thick woolen military blanket on top (inside the house) and not cold at all,if you also put on the waterproof poncho (3 layers) nothing gets through....you sew the woolen blanket (poncho) yourself...they are made for "summer" camping... by themselves they are not warm, you have to "tease" them...
Well it depends on how you sleep me basically they can go down about 40ﾟ and then that's about it I was 1st introduced to them when I was in the military so I've been using it for a long time only bad thing about nylon is with anything it slides all over the place so if you want it as a top quilt it's gonna be on the ground before you're done sleeping overnight
I wonder how it would work out to do this with Velcro instead of a zipper and use low temp. seam tape to attach it to the Poncho Liner. Zippers seem to fail just when you need them the most.
