So I’m not sure if it’s a difference between the medium and the large, or just the era that I got mine. Back around ‘87ish, but mine has the space behind the back middle pouch. Perfect spot for putting my small camp size OTC machete.

Hey, thanks for sharing. If you like to upgrade your MOLLE - Waistbelt mounting to the ALICE Frame then watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kK2ep6-Ssq-am30.html And it happens to be an advantage for you to have the Woodland Camo Waistbelt. Check it out, if you look closely you should discover an additional row of stitching, which isn´t present at other newer generation MOLLE - Waistbelts. So you have to undo basically just some stitches and it´s done. Maybe that helps you to improve your ALICE Pack even more! And last I wanna share that the USMC FILBE Shoulder Harness fits totally fine and easy to the ALICE Frame. Way better than the Molle Shoulder Harness. I did both modifications myself and I´m realy happy with it! Best regards, Torsten

I have 2 of them, large & medium. I can get the medium to fit without pulling on my shoulders even with my heavy Cabela's coat. I'm 6'1". But the large one is giving me trouble trying to get the load on the waist belt. I try to keep the strain off my neck because of some spine issues there. I use them currently for gold prospecting and hauling smaller stuff from yard & estate sales locally. I also need to do something different for the chest strap. It's cinched up all the way but is still too large. Even with the coat on. Been thinking about that MOLLE replacement for some time. On the hydration bag I got a new one with its own pack bag. I'm wondering if it would fit between the pack/frame and the pack bands that ride against your back? If so, how would you rig it? I was thinking of putting those ice rods for your water bottles before filling it with water.

Great video, thanks! Is there a pouch made to attach underneath the pack? With the newer molle stuff we called it a butt pack, but i'm learning now that that is already something else for the Alice stuff. I see there's two things of webbing that I could always use to strap whatever underneath, but just curious if they make something specifically for that.

Yes you can attach an ALICE butt pack or a sleep system carrier to the bottom. I usually just strap my bed roll to the bottom using some cinch straps though.

Awesome video. I was lucky mine already had the upgraded shoulder straps and the kidney pad. Got the pack and frame for only $30 a few years back. I bought it to take on hunting trips. It's amazing how sturdy the pack is. Mine is a medium ALICE so the internal compartment is smaller. It's makes a great day pack when you may need extra gear or for a short overnight excursions. I love having a cool old school piece of gear.

Check out a alice frame shelf. Its a metal shelf that hooks into the bottom of the frame that give you a place to store stuff like a tent or whatever and you can take the bag off and use the frame and shelf to carry jerry cans or wood. It fits better on a medium alice pack like yours.

“Travelers “ ( aka “ Kids”) those that hop freight trains, prefer ALICE packs because the packs are durable, virtually indestructible. These modern day Hobos always have their ALICE packs outfitted right and tight. They are overlooked because they are at the fringe, the true EDGE of society. Beyond the pale. And they prefer ALICE.

There is also a sleep shelf you can put on it. Not sure yet if it is from the M.O.L.L.E system. I need a better sternum strap for mine.

Or not.
