What a great project to do and easy as well. What i would do different is to place round pipe foam insulation around frame for extra padding for your back. Add maybe a 3 inch pvc pipe on side as a fishing pole carrier as well. There are endless things you could attach later on . Again, great job and gives me something to make .
Great video, I’m currently working on one right now I used a similar set up but I attached a black plastic cutting board I picked up at 99 cent store.drilled four holes in the shelf part of the pvc after getting a small price of wood inside to drill through as well, and to hold bolts/screws in place then I hand screwed screws in test fitted with already cut & sanded board cut screws to the size I needed and used four wing nuts on screws to hold board on. Then I had a sturdy shelf that could be removed and used as a cutting board at camp. Then I simply bungee coarser a rubber trash can and attached one of those cheap rothco Canvas G.I. Type Mini Alice Packs to the trash can hung my bedroom underneath the stealth hatchet on one side of trash can and saw on the other with pathfinder water bottle set. Got the idea of Dave’s video been assembling it as I get parts in
How did you attach the shoulder straps? I have a Molle pack, with straps coming tomorrow. but if it doesn't fit my hunting needs then I may try this system. Do you have a separate video for attaching the straps?
bashfulbrother I found some dimensions via Google and several other vids I found. Even if u don't like the dimensions you just take it apart and cut it some more.
It is very light compared to the regular alice pack frame. It is light and very sturdy... now granted it is not one of those 70 lb frames that could pack you into the back country for 5 days.. but it leads up nicely with about 30 lbs if needed.
not that this is a bad idea but I might suggest without all this extra word bending painting and all that just go to your military surplus store and buy a regular pack for what 15-20 bucks I mean this is just ridiculous in a way but I do like the idea but I don't want to go through that much work rather just mount load and go that's what we did in the military way back when
Clay Chandler I hear you... but the problem with the Alice pack frame is that it doesn't really fit or sit well on your back. I probably should have bought a specialized pack, but was just being cheap.
