I like you mods. I worked for Tactical Tailor in Lakewood, WA and we modified / repaired thousands of Alice packs from all over the world. My special mod was to cut the bottom 1/3 off of a plastic trash can and use it as an inside base. Also when camping I pull it out and use it as water container to wash with. Thanks for making a great video.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 6 лет назад

Thanks! I also make that mod and have a video on it also. It is harder to find a trash can that will fit the medium pack than it is to find one to fit the large pack...

@philrab 6 лет назад

Back when I was issued these, instead of a false bottom we threw a spare pare of boots in the bottom, laid on the sides heal to toe, and filled in the center with spare underwear or anything that fit. Same idea, make a flat bottom. Good tips.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 6 лет назад

Yep, same thing using a different item. A false bottom makes it ALOT easier to pack your gear...

well i feel inspired to mod my Medium Alice pack its seen service and some how ended up over here in UK its best bit of kit i have ever had the frame is awesome for strapping stuff on Its got M-249 written on the back i'm sure it was used to carry belts for the m249 its 70's issue cool to have some US history

The Para cord Hand Hold was a great idea my Friend. Having the tarp located toward the back side also allows for extra padding when hiking. Thanks for sharing FBB&S👍👍👍👍👍

@richardschafer7858 5 лет назад

Grab handle is slick. I still have my large ALICE from when I was airborne infantry. That space between the frame and ones back is for ventilation usually. Granted, I sweat like a 500lb gorilla. Admittedly, I was lazy and sent it to tactical tailor to be tricked out. It's actually my backpacking backpack now. It will never break.

@mrmicro22 4 года назад

If you make the false bottom from closed cell foam, you have an insulating sit upon as needed with really no extra weight.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 4 года назад

Great idea!

@thefucrew9865 6 лет назад

Love the mods, Brother ! Keep 'em coming ! While I was in, we used to take our regular bungees (the camo colored ones) and wrap them around the frame that faces our back. Hook it on the left or right side, then over the opposite side, then hook it to the starting side. It keeps the bungees from hanging up on anything in your pack, plus it still gives you that space to place that tarp or other things in there (we used our VS-17 panels in there). Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more of your videos, including the canteen cup tuesdays.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 6 лет назад

Thanks man. That is unused space in the back but it can be used for a lot of stuff...

@sarahdresler9776 5 лет назад

You can put a water bladder in that empty space where you put the tarp and run the tubing up over the top next to the shoulder straps.

@abandonedotter4270 Год назад

I run a medium alice with a 1606MC frame, molle 2 straps and waist belt. I use the webbing at the top to attach a molle waistpack right under the lid, a sleep system carrier at the bottom, 2 - 200 round saw pouches on the bottom sides or canteen covers if no 3L hydration bladder in the radio pouch. You can add nod pouches on the waistbelt or a left and right 3 mag with grenade molle pouch for quick storage. Gives me plenty of room for mess kit, fire kit, ifak, sleep gear of choice and a DD tarp or Hammock. Good video man. I use a 13 gallon trash can cut off to fit my pack. I run 550 cobra braids for handles on it. I dont use it a lot but if I need to haul water I can. Big plus is if you use a white trashcan it makes it easier to see in your pack. Bungies are great for setting a fly. 👍I rarely use 550 'A-lines' anymore. Just keep the 550 for guylines really already attached to the tarp. Easton stakes with 550 loops to quickly attach to the guylines that way of you gotta pack up in a hurry you dont lose your stakes. Wooooohoooo. You got me all excited, lol. I love Alice. She's my go to girl.

I put my shoulder and waist belt from my molle 2 pack on my large alice frame and that is without a doubt, the most comfortable ruck i own. Ive also fashioned 2 horizontal compression straps and quick buckles on the lid straps and it compresses down nice and secure to the frame. Its 10x more comfortable than even my usmc ilbe pack thats made by arcteryx which is suppose to be one of tge best rucks made. Ive just never been able to get it to fit my back correctly and it weighs about 9 pounds empty.

Nice tweaks man, I use a 10l collapsible sink as my pack base, it's handy in camp as you can use it as a food prep surface/chopping board, fetch water etc, its a basin for washing/shaving in and if you have an inflatable pillow/airmattress pump, you can use that and have yourself a footspa for those aching plates too.

I'm in my early seventies, and although I enjoyed the two day camp, it was always in the back of my mind about getting my sorry butt back up that hill. Got packed up and squared away and started up the trail when a Ranger showed up in a Polaris. Has to be said that the Good Lord watches out for kids, drunks and foolish old people.

Can you use a pack with the shelf’s to hold wood water ect. And still have your gear

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 4 года назад

The shelf fits just below the pack so to use the shelf with gear like ammo boxes you have to remove the pack

@BadMoonRising92 3 года назад

If you have the pack on the frame you can’t put anything on the shelf but you can do it to where you can use the shelf to hang stuff off the bottom of it

I’m 34 but in my early 20s, I bought an Alice pack with every intention and going out into the wilderness but being how I’m afraid of the woods and going out by yourself when you’re afraid of the woods kind of sucks I never pulled the trigger on that I just came across my old Alice pack it used to have the frame But I guess I took it off and misplaced it. It had some mods done to it. The buckles on the wrapped handle shoulder straps as well as a waist strap that was attached to the frame that is misplaced with the frame. Anyways, it’s in my garage right now.

Nice review. Curious why you use Nalgene canteens instead of USGI ones? Seems almost sacrilege to not use USGI canteens with all the USGI gear.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 5 лет назад

Lol...right? I have several USGI green canteens that I use with other rigs, these are ones that actually came with my medium ALICE pack and are easier to use and clean so I use these most of the time.

@MrTangent 5 лет назад

FloridaBoy Survival How I clean my canteens: I wash them with hot water, fill up with hot water but leave about 10-20% empty, replace cap and vigorously shake. Empty water. Refill and put one denture cleaner tablet in canteen (I use Efferdent). It kills 99.9% of germs, is safe on plastics, human safe. Let sit overnight then wash out canteen. I also use it on my water bladders instead of Camelbak’s overpriced cleaner tablets, which are the same stuff, really.

@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival It made a huge difference for me! I never had an alice frame. Just the pack. I've moved on to having basic gear in a shoulder bag and sleeping/cooking gear in a bedroll, but I still use the Alice pack for my airsoft gear. Great bag.

I use the space in the frame to put a dense foam knee board. It pads my back when in walking then I use it to sit on and stay off the ground. I also put my spare BDU uniform flat on the bottom does the same thing. Never thought of putting machete in sideays. Great job. My training came from 1/75 Rangers 77-79.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 5 лет назад

That is a pretty big space in the frame that you can use for lots of stuff. The machete trick works great!

@whomagoose6897 6 лет назад

The rubberized coating on the inside of the main flap on my ALICE, large, pack is peeling off. Do you have any suggestions for a replacement coating? Everything is inside the pack is inside one of many of those waterproof inner bags, found a bunch of those pouches at a Army/Navy surplus store. So nothing gets wet. But, would like to replace the coating. That ALICE pack has been in use for over 25 years. No tears, rips, or broken seams. I suppose that coating just has an amount of expected use by the manufacturer. Just worn out through use. Would like to recoat the material. Tried rubber cement, silicon gasket paste, and, a tent waterproofing solution from a sporting goods store. No joy for results.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 6 лет назад

I am not sure that you can get another decent approximation of the mil spec rubberized coating. Mine is still in good shape, but with any serious use I think all of them flake off...

Number one thng you can do, is put it on a MOLLE frame. It rides higher and closer to the body and has *way* better straps and belt, fir superior weight distribution.

@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival 5 лет назад

I have thought about that but the regular ALICE frame is working pretty well...

@springbloom5940 5 лет назад

@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival It works, thats for sure and has some advantages over the MOLLE, but the MOLLE straps and belt, above all, are soooo much better. I actually like the ALICE frame, but found it easier to put the pack on a MOLLE frame, than to get the MOLLE straps to work right, on the ALICE frame. I also keep my ALICE straps attached direct, for off-frame packing.
