Here is a description of my Alice pack Bug out Bag or 72 hour pack. I plan on buggin in, however you never know when you may have to leave your house for things such as wildfires, hazardous material spills, natural disasters or other man made disasters. I am always changing and upgrading my pack, contents and setups. I have used the Alice pack for years as well as many other packs, I keep returning to the Alice pack as my pack of choice due to its versatality.
I have slightly modified my pack to make it more comfortable by using the Molle II straps and hip belt. I have also added the Molle II Modular Sleep System Carrier for my sleeping gear.
I use this pack for other things as well such as for Civil Air Patrol extended missions, 2-5 day trips, and some overnight trips. Depending on what I will be doing is how I will load it out.

I have the MSS also and the green patrol bag is more like a 40 degree bag.

@bizzarrogeorge 13 лет назад

Thank you for being the first prepper I've seen on RU-vid who condenses his MRE's by opening up the main bag, and stripping out all the useless cardboard each meal component is wrapped in.

@GearReviewDepot 3 года назад

11 YEARS AGO!!!?? WOW! This is an oldie.

@Skills2survive 3 года назад

Oh yes. 😳. I have taken slot of videos down lately, but some I have left. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Skills2survive 3 года назад

A lot has changed since making this one too. 😁

@SamsGarageSale 13 лет назад

Nice pack set up. Good informative video

@Brimshae 14 лет назад

Good deal. Two notes about MREs, though. 1> You can save a lot of space on MREs if you remove the outer bag. 2> However, they do not store quite as long. Not important if you're already on the move, but the outer pouch does slightly increase the shelf-life.

Got a brand new large A.L.I.C.E. GI issue from ammo can man and added the frame so for about $100 I got a NEW GI markings pack added the military issue e-tool with a military knife/bayonet that has Alice pack clips to attach. LOVE IT!!! Brings me back to the USMC days.

@donniebrite9170 6 лет назад

I also custom made a frame from PVC and extended the bottom, added a shelf to fit my tent and sleeping bag, also a travel hammock, I also wrapped and made webbing on the shelf with parachord in a jam I made it to where I can still undo it for extra rope

@0122358 14 лет назад

finally i found someone else like me who strips the cardboard and stuff we dont eat out to fit 2-3 meals in one bag....

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

They attach just like the alice do. The alice pack has attachment points, you just feed the molle straps through the attachment point. The straps, sleep carrier and hip belt are a different story. They take a bit on rigging but will fit fine if done properly.

@rcruz003 13 лет назад

Damn good video , very informative. Got me rethinkiing my current set up. Great tips , thanks for sharing.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. I too have a CFP90, that I used a few times and found it to be too big, and I bought a Blackhawk Patrol pack as well, but sold it to a friend because I didnt use it. I will however use the cfp90 in winter occassionally.

@Skills2survive 11 лет назад

I agree. The old Alice is a good pack. Thanks for watching

@sgtdarkness1 14 лет назад

One thing you might want to add is x-lax (unless I missed it in the vid) 'cause those MREs will stop you up quick. Plus if you're an old gunney like myself, you HAVE to pack your daily meds also..........hell getting near 60, let me tell you. Thanks for the vid my friend, good info.

@mason3064 10 лет назад

I'm wrapping up my freshman year of highschool and I've been using a ALICE pack to hold all of my gear so I don't waste time having to go to my locker which is on the third floor and most of my classes are on the first floor. the other reason why is because one of my MCJROTC buddies also uses one. you don't want to use the Japanese made ALICE pack cause they will just fall apart. so you're going to want to get the US made ones

@BlueOysterCult89085 14 лет назад

thx for review , got a few ideas from it

@3charter 14 лет назад

Great job! Off to part 2...

@usmchs2993 8 лет назад

I took the assault pack off the CFP90 and placed it on my lg alice pack. this makes for a great scouting bag after you set up camp,Plus it gives Woodland Camo to the packs back. And of course the molle shoulder straps and kidney belt. Plus do a paracord grab handle double thick.

@Skills2survive 8 лет назад

I have a pack from the CFP 90. Never thought about attaching that to the Alice. I will have to try that.

@JimmyGunXD556 13 лет назад

If I could do it over again, I would do this pack with the patrol pack. Nice set up man !

@FloppaAppreciator 13 лет назад

I reccomend getting a knife for and spoon combonation. They started using them in the civil war its a spoon with a fork on the other and and a knife piece that locks into the fork side covering any sharp ends. I have one and it works great!

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

Thanks. Yep it works much better.

@loribit85 13 лет назад

@ToastAndSausage I don't know about the alice pack featured in the video, but mine definitely isn't, assuming it ever was. That's why you're issued drysacks to stick inside the main compartment. I suppose you could also find smaller waterproof pouches to stick inside the three external compartments. You can somewhat improve the waterproofing of the pack itself by using the right Nikwax product on the outside of the pack, but it will eventually wear off after a while.

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

I have thought about that. I will try it out. Thanks for watching

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

Thanks. I like the medium, and I try to keep the weight down because I dont want to carry 70+ pounds if I dont have too.

@tyronewalker5764 2 года назад

I've got both!😀

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@fergus5151 Thanks for watching. I like to eat....LOL I have datrex bars in my GHB, but I want some "real" food in a SHTF situation.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

I started with the large, and found that I packed it way too full. So I down sized to the medium, made the small modifications and its much more comfortable, and I can still pack more stuff in it.

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

I agree. Thanks for watching

@addonwalker4249 11 лет назад

Those things are tough as hell. Used to live out of them for months at a time. My modern pack leaves a bit to be desired. That bitch "Alice", stands up on its butt making for easy access with the L frame and makes a decent chair back. The newer packs just roll and flop around like a dead fish. If you use it for a chair back or try and stand it upright it will either fall over or get mudded/sticker'd up in the wrong places. With a winter bag hanger the Alice is a bit more to struggle.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@nroc13 Medium is what I would go with, however the frame is the same size for the Medium and large. However if you are shorter, I wouldnt want to get the bigger pack and load it down only to find out that you cant carry it good. So i would go with the medium.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@05MagnumSXT Thanks man. I love my alice pack. I like your videos too.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

The modifications are up to you. I made the mods because it was more comfortable and I use the pack for other things. If you use the pack for other things, I would suggest the modifications.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@05MagnumSXT I am glad it helped you bro. Make a video of it when you get it put together...

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@LLschoolJ2 Yes as long as you dont overload them. I have used them for years for short backpacking trips. I would suggest getting some better straps and hip belt like I suggested in my other video.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@AdiroundackPrepper Thanks for watching. I agree.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@25foot Yes you can. Like I said, I have more than 72 hours of stuff in there. And you can go a week or longer depending on how you pack it.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@MurderByFluoride I agree. They are much better with the frame.

@kc9pxz 11 лет назад

nice mods my man. Like you i love it but also I go back and forth from the ALICE and the MOLLIE II

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

Yes it will fit complete. You will have a little bit of room left, not a whole lot. Thats why I added the MSS Carrier to the bottom.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@irishgotee You can, however I have never done that. I put all of my stuff in plastic bags. They make a waterproof liner for the Alice packs. You can usually find them for a few dollars online.

@johndoe-cr3eu Год назад

I have a large ALICE pack. The guy from Mystery Ranch says they have one that is twice as big but it is $600. I got a waterproof liner for my ALICE PACK. I looked at a smaller Mystery Ranch and it was very well made, it appeared. My theory is fill it up, bug out and start shedding excess.

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

It depends on the person packing it. I like to keep mine as light as possible. This one weighs about 35-40 lbs.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@SamsGarageSale Thank you. Thanks for watching.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@sgtdarkness1 Yes, those mres will stop you up.....LOL Thanks for watching.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@BrianWilsonJacob I am packing the one bag and bivy. Not all 3 bags. The total weight for the bag and bivy is less than 4lbs together.

@cbr6864 14 лет назад

good job im starting to hate my large alice! every month i have to take some gear out, it allows you to pack too much. but i wouldnt give it up for anything.

@desertsurvivalist1 12 лет назад

That philosophy is close to mine....buggin' in, but ready to leave if neccessary. I have a feelin I may return to the ALICE if I can get ahold of those MOLLE straps. The extra padding was one reason I upgraded to a MOLLE-style pack...but it didn't have a frame, which is a real downer :/

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@bigtaviles I will be doing a video on it soon, its hard to explain. However, I do have a word doc and pics. Stay tuned to my channel and I should get the video up soon.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@airsoftsurvivalman12 The "mini" packs are small. They would be ok for a day I would think. Personally, I would go with the medium and not fill it as full if you can.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@boomtao All molle pouches are compatible with the Alice, they attach just like the alice does.

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

@leongaines I purchased the straps and hip belt and attached them to the pack. Along with the sleep system carrier.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@BrianWilsonJacob I think its a great setup for the money. A little bulky and heavy when its all together, but still I think its worth it.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@nroc13 If you bought EVERYTHING in that pack, including the molle modifications and all the gear, it would probably run you several hundred dollars. I bought stuff and pieced it together over the years. I am always adding and subtracting items as needed.

@spartanthree8 13 лет назад

@airsoftsurvivalman12 i have a mini, sometimes called a sniper pack, and i use it to go hunting, its great for small trips like that

@MrHonea14 12 лет назад

thats what the quick release straps are for

@daemon123ify 12 лет назад

@charper3006 something even easier and more safe to do if in an ambush is to fall onto you back with the backback on and the rifle between your legs ready to shoot. but that is if you are in an ambush generally

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@3charter Thanks!

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

I agree.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@gerber23colton Different places. Some of the gear I have gotten at military surplus stores, other online. It depends on what piece of gear. I have bought the stuff over the years.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@Jdog5785 Yes, in my opinion.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@irishgotee WOW !!! $250 for a frame for an Alice Pack?? Thats ridiculous ! I would like to see that, do you have a link? The frame the pack comes with is ok, you can drill out the rivots and put in screws with locking washes and nuts and it holds up better. There also used to be some plastic type frames out there for them, but I dont think they make them anymore.

@0122358 14 лет назад

Hey Charp, if you wanted too, could you carry the ALICE pack with belly band in conjunction with your LBE if you had to?

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@Trogiss I would go with the medium

@phillyphilhouse79 9 лет назад

I love your ALICE hellcat rucksack! I was thinking of doing this, but its cheaper to just buy a molle 2 woodland rucksack. The one where the main pack and sleep system carrier are on the same bag. Just like the newer ACU and Multi-Cam rucksacks. I don't want to spend $50 on the alice, plus more on the molle shoulder straps, molle waist belt, molle sleep system and than the fast snaps.

@Skills2survive 9 лет назад

I had the MOLLE ruck and didn't like it, so I went back to the Alice and just used the parts. You can find Alice packs pretty cheap.

@phillyphilhouse79 9 лет назад

Skills2Survive They've got a few around here in my area. I was stuck on the decision of either buying the molle with the sleep system and main pack being one bag generation rucksack or the medium alice. I hated the first generation molle when it came out. I was like "Oh no! Now they're going to make us carry MORE shit!" I thought I hated the alice pack. I just need a good enough pack to carry the issued sleeping bag kit, small pup tent, spare clothes, wet weather gear, poncho and poncho liner, tools, mre's and fire starting gear. The molle does have its advantages but feel it may be just a little too big for a bug out bag. So I go back to the idea of just buying the ALICE and getting the molle shoulder straps, molle waist belt, molle sleep system and quick release buckles.

@Skills2survive 9 лет назад

Lol... There are many many packs out there. The Spec Ops Brand THE pack is a good one. I have it and like it. I have a review of it.

@phillyphilhouse79 9 лет назад

Skills2Survive I've got three 72 hour Blackhawk bags I bought when I was in Iraq. One of them didn't last very long. And the first one was outdated after a few years. The one with the stupid ACU pattern was the one that outlived them all. Go figure. I hated that camo pattern. For the price I just may get the ALICE ruck. It will be $60 less than the molle ruck I want. But it does come with a few more molle pouches that I could use.

@Skills2survive 9 лет назад

Yeah.. I don't like ACU either.

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@0122358 Yes, you can however it is a little uncomfortable.

@willbennett47 12 лет назад

I saw a guy stuff a hunting butt pillow behind the frame. Works well

@woodscraftlindsay789 3 года назад

Such limited thinking 72 hrs my bag is the same I pack for life in the woods home where you make it

@TheWarhead3 13 лет назад

@MurderByFluoride from what i see yes but you can modify it to what you like so there is really no right way

@Robbob9933 13 лет назад

@charper3006 Yes you can, you may not want to however.

@OutdoorAesthetics 12 лет назад

The weight is supposed to be taken on the hip not the shoulders they just keep it up right

@TheWarhead3 13 лет назад

@sgtdarkness1 yes i agree

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

@Roturo8 You are trying to shoot a rifle while wearing the pack? Drop the pack and then shoot. That will be the easiest thing to do.

@irishgotee 14 лет назад

@charper3006 One other question would it be a good idea to waterproof the inside of my alice pack with plasti dip it's a spray on or brush on rubber, to waterproof and protect the interior stiching? Just a thought.

@Skills2survive 11 лет назад

Thanks for watching

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@MurderByFluoride yes

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

@kcrone1 NO. I dont carry this in my car. I have another GHB for my car.

@irishgotee 14 лет назад

Help. I'm looking into buying a new and improved frame for my large alice pack. found two very nice frames both run about $250, the N.I.C.E frame or the Aruc frame.

@Quadmachine0 14 лет назад

Nice video, which CAP squadron are you from?

@leongaines 12 лет назад

Hello, when you mentioned making the molle modifications to the Alice...was this a purchase or did you actually do the sewing of straps to make the mods?

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@rdawg0000 If you have a Large Alice, you cannot use it without the frame.

@TheInvisibleOne1026 12 лет назад

Do you carry this in your car? What happens if you're at work or out some where (for me which is 90% of the time) and an EMP makes all vechiles inopperable? I don't understand people that keep their bags at home, doesn't make sense to me.

@kan-zee 12 лет назад

What is the Average Weight of a BOB ?Military average ranges in 50-75lbs. Cheers ;-))

@tyronewalker5764 4 года назад

I think they're better than what you find in REI.

@cbr6864 10 лет назад

Love the Alice only problem is its design. The pack was made to ride high pushing the weight into your kidneys

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@JimmyGunXD556 Thanks.

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@sgt64339 depends on what you are doing.

@Ficktao 14 лет назад

How did you attach the MOLLE system pouches on the Alice?? (They seem incompatible to me)

@Skills2survive 13 лет назад

@ToastAndSausage Is what waterproof? The bag?

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

1 frame fits both medium and large

@LLschoolJ2 14 лет назад

are these pack suitable for backpacking trips im geting one from sportsmen guide

@Skills2survive 14 лет назад

@myfj401974 I will send you a PM because, for some reason I cant paste links to other websites in the comments section.

@myfj401974 14 лет назад

ok I give up, I google, molle 2 pack replacement straps and can't find anything. Do you have a part number and a web site so i can do the same chance. thanks...

@Trogiss 14 лет назад

should I buy a medium or large Alice pack for a 24-hour pack?

@melonlab80 12 лет назад

i was wondering is there 1 frame for med and large alice or is there 2 different frames

@Skills2survive 12 лет назад

Its ripstop nylon.

@driskoll2658 8 лет назад

Anybody else find that they can only fit an MRE in one of the pouches? Mine was messed up a little bit during manufacturing, so the side pouches are just barely too small to fit an MRE, but the middle one doesn't have any trouble fitting one at all.

@Skills2survive 8 лет назад

I don't have that problem. I can fit MREs in all of the pouches. You could remove the MRE and repackage it to fit

@driskoll2658 8 лет назад

Yeah, I'm probably going to break the MRE's up and keep meals in one pouch, heaters in another and so on. I was just wondering if it might be a common problem. With so many having been made, of course there's going to be a hiccup now and then.

@donniebrite9170 6 лет назад

Where did you get the shotgun pouch? That'd be great to add to my pack!

@Skills2survive 6 лет назад

Military surplus store I think.. Check eBay, you can find alot of stuff there
