Quick & easy repair to your old ALICE pack lid
Vložit

- Recently I posted a very extensive video about the medium and large ALICE pack system. During that video I covered how on many of the ALICE packs on the surplus market their top rubberized lids are deteriorating due to age. After posting that video a few of my viewers commented on a quick and easy method to repair the old lids. After testing the method myself I found that it was %100 legit and is a great DIY easy repair. I was so impressed I decided to try to help get the word out to my fellow war fighters out there! Thanks again to those viewers of mine for providing me with this great idea.

Love that iraq war loadout
I just found this channel and read your comment about Primary Arms hooking subscribers up. Of course, I didn't finish reading the comment, and went straight to the link to try and get a free ACOG with that ACSS reticle. And immediately realized that things that sound too good to be true usually are, and that I should probably finish reading things.
Still cool content though.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
Thanks for showing us all the quick & easiest way repair to your old ALICE pack lid with Flex Seal! Flextastic job well done! 💪
i found your spray on flex seal will fail. you have to roll it on fabric for it to stick
nice
No fucking way
No way, the meme is here
@@yourredcomrade717 I've sprayed a pair of old leather boots with flex seal back in 2017 and they're still going good.
Don't know if you realize this, but they do make green Flex Seal
I do, I only saw the black at Lowes though. I don't think they make an OD color as well, just a bright green.
Clear is the best, it will work with any color
Why not do the outside as well? And a couple of stuff sacks? Old W.P. bags?
Since you have the flex seal, here's a bit of tip from a construction worker. Spray the bottoms and backs of your carry cases (tools, personal belongings, etc). When your stuff moves from vibration or the station it's on is mobile, it'll stick to it a bit more and will have a harder time to run on you while you're busy with your task/project.
I find it funny no matter where or what type of CZcamsr are you are Flex Seal will find its way to your video and Save the Day
Ha, right.
The most OUTSTANDING pack ever issued for US Army and Marine Infantrymen. They can carry the load and I have jumped out with them out of airplanes. Really indestructible from pack to frame. I have never destroyed any of them in my service.
Agreed, neither have I. The pack I sprayed in this very video is the one I played with as a kid. AND THEN, to top it all off I took it with me to Afghanistan in 2011 and used it there. Great pack!
amen and airborne! all the way brother.
Sorry, but I would argue about that. They are built tough, but there are also built to torture. In fact, I think we usually refer to them as torture sacks more than we referred to them as Alice packs.
The packs that they have issued since my Army time in the 80s are far superior.
@@rockymntnliberty not sure what pack you are talking about. I was on active duty from 1982 - 2004. the only packs that I was issued, or I should say regularly issued, was a large Alice pack. now there was a time in the late 80's when the army gave certain units a Mountain pack. but as a paratrooper those didn't last more than a couple months as they could not be jumped safely.
@@rockymntnliberty The long ass humps like our quarterly 25 milers sucked. Airborne, Light Infantry, and Air Assault units you live out of your ruck sacks. I was in Panama in a Airborne Infantry Battalion. Humping the jungles for 2 weeks really sucked. Sore shoulders and fucked up feet ain't no joke.
Damn - I'm 4 years late again! I order a LOT of mil-surp gear and as noted the water proofing in some of it is decaying but the pouches and packs are still in excellent shape. I've asked if anyone new how to 'clean up' the sticky residue but never ran across a good solution - until now! They even have 'flex spray paint' now for cloth materials. Now just waitin' for some sunshine! Thanks!👍👍👍
American ingenuity and improvisation..... You just can't beat it.
Agreed, great simple and easy fix to this odd ball problem.
@friendofcoal LOL, we have been doing this for 30 years in norway, ain't nothing american about it
Make your own water proof bags out of oLd BDU legs you cut off and sew up the bottom opposite the tie ends and turn inside out and spray with flex seal. And get a cool set of work shorts at the same time. 😲👍🏻
Awesome ideas brother, thanks for giving me this one!
Man, that idea is real dope!
You sir are a fucking genius ..
We used our old MRE bags and sealed with 1000 mile an hour tape
Dude. I'm doing this.
Brent- I ran down to my local surplus store and got my pack and frame. Dude, this is my army pack to the tee. Medium pack and frame for under 80 bucks. Thanks for making sense of the ALICE system. It's better than the other l packs in my opinion, and I got some caribiners and issue dry bags for the 3 pockets, and the main compartment. I have a lot of alice stuff including canteens and entrenching tool. Brother you got me on track, and I can't thank you enough. Squared away!
Great tips for my A.L.I.C.E.packs. I will certainly treT my packs out,! Thanks to you,.
This is the first video of yours I found!
Ha
What a “no brainer” fix! About six months ago, I found some new/unused ALICE pack lids at a flea market. I bought the entire stock of them thinking I’d just replace the lids on all four of mine. Then I saw this and slapped myself for not thinking of this! BRAVO ZULU on an excellent video! ⚓️🇺🇸
I’m an Army veteran, and I love my ALICE pack. Excellent demo. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bought my first Alice Pack yesterday. These Alice Pack tutorials are dope! I love people who come up with this stuff!
Did this today with an ALICE pack I have from the 70's and one from the 90's. They both turned out great. Thanks for the tip!
Awesome brother, glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
Had mine since 75!
My two ALICE packs I have from 1982-1993 USMC are far superior than the cammo ALICE pack I was issued in the Army in 2000 or so.
Both USMC tops are still mint and need no attention.
My Army issued cammo one the top liner is basically powder and getting all over everything.
Gonna give it a good wash and then use the flex seal to seal it.
Great tip
Thank you for sharing another good use for FlexSeal. I would also like to share an idea I got from another CZcamsr: using FlexSeal to apply a thin durable "grip tape" to AR magazines. I have used it on both steel mags and PMAGs and am quite happy with the results. Be sure to mask off enough of the top to ensure the FlexSeal does not rub inside the magazine well and hinder insertion/removal. Also, mask off enough of the bottom to ensure the floorplate can be removed. I have had good results with 3M blue painter's masking tape. If the PMAGs have a round-count window, mask that too. The FlexSeal seems to deaden and quiet down the noise the magazine makes when it hits something (gear, mag well, ground, etc), especially with a couple coats.
Thank you. Very informative. Headed to Lowes to pick up can of Flex Seal to repair my medium ALICE pack. Thanks.
i was going to buy the new top, but i am glad i came across your video. Semper Fi and welcome home. i served with Bravo 1/1 from 89 until 90.
This is a PSA I did this to my Medium Alice pack, make sure to get all the factory rubberized coating off the lid before. My Alice pack had a lid that was just starting to peel and I tried all I could to get it off with about 25% of the lid still covered with the original rubber that wasn't ready to come off. The areas where the rubber was peeled off almost immediately after letting it sit for 24 hours it made it a lot easier to get the remaining old rubber off but you'll have to re apply to cover the areas that peeled off. Otherwise great solution.
Brent, thank you for your service and to the YT community. Love the content brother. Oorah.
Appreciate it brother.
I have had my ALICE pack since 2006, and I didn't know there was a compartment in the lid. Haha. Thanks Bro. Good video.
I use Tool Dip for rubberizing tool handles. It works great on the bottoms of packs and places where you don’t want something like a sharp ski edge to cut the fabric. You can get it in OD and other colors. You can spray it, or thin and paint it on.
Thanks for this great tip. Just did this to mine and I saw one of your watcher suggested the green flex seal and it turned out great nice fix and I thank you all for the recommendations. Also very easy to do.
Gonna give this a go this weekend! Awsome solution to a outstanding pack, hell should give it another 25 years of life
Good timing. Was going to try that on my USMC ALICE pack from 83. Glad to know it works.
Excellent info as always.
YAT YAS
I scraped all the old stuff off mine, with a soft bristle brush. Video is right on time! I was gonna roll with that other stuff. The silicone spray for tents at Wal-Mart. I'll use this method, then that stuff for the rest of the pack. But I used that stuff on a shower curtain (not plastic) and basically made a lightweight tarp
Nice. Yeah you wont be let down with this method, I assure you!
I was also thinking that the old should be removed before applying the new. Thanks!
Great info Brent. Your videos are a great help to let me know how with A.L.C.E. equipment, which I use so much in Scotland.
Glad you like it I also have done this to old poncho’s when the water proofing gives out.
Excellent! Might do that in the future for sure. For 13 bucks a can you can't go wrong.
Jesus! All the ideas. I replaced my old poncho about a year ago and bought another. I should have tried this.
That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing Brent. I already have the rustoleum, just need to flex seal now. 👍
Fantastic tip Brent!
Just found your videos! Been watching your videos for the past two hours and I subscribed can't wait for more!
Awesome brother, welcome aboard!
I did this to interiors of a 1956 and 67 buttpacks. Certainly made pack much stiffer. I was not looking for waterproof, just water resistant. I have been pleased so far.
This is just what I need.
Thank you Sir.
Much needed and appreciated.
Just found your page and this is a great video! My medium ALICE needs this fix and now I know how to do it! I have an old dry bag that I will treat with FLEX SEAL as well! For us LARGER folks, I watched a Dave Canterbury video where he made a PVC pack frame for an ALICE pack, so I made one for mine, to my body frame, with shelf under pack! Lightweight, sturdy and the pack now stands up and off the ground! Just wanted to share that info with yas!! NEW FAN here!!
I saw those comments too... love this idea. I will be doing this to mine.
Well worth it brother. Thanks for watching.
Back in the 80's/90's we would use the dip coating to reseal those lids and other worn pouches. It was sold in pint size cans and used to coat or recoat pliers or small tools used for electrical work. Pretty much the same thing but thicker because it's a non aerosol product.
Awesome video, I never thought to use flexseal I was gonna just use a dry bag in my pack. Thanks for all your informative videos and especially thank you for your service to our nation.
Thanks brother. Yup that's what I usually did as well. WP bag inside and if it starts raining heavy I wrap the pack in a poncho. I'll still do that but its nice to have this water proof lid in tact for those light and medium rains.
I just saw your video a few days ago and I got an A.L.I.C.E. pack medium and I done the same thing to my lid after watching you do it to yours and I came up with another great idea I had two waterproof laundry bags ,military issue and the linings were old and pilling off.
So I rubbed all the old lining off that was loose, Turn the bag wrong side out and sprayed him with flexseal like you did to the medium A.L.I.C.E. Pack lid and it worked great
Thank you SIR. You sure got out of the dark . I just fixed my 2 Alice packs that I bought 10 years ago in an army surplus store. I would have never thought of flex seal. But it sure does it job. Thank you once again.
Yeah, it was a fantastic idea that one of my commenters posted on my original Alice pack video. I had to try it.
*AND NOW WITH THE POWER OF FLEX SEAL*
Ha
Thoughts on using this on a wet weather bag for inside the ALICE pack?
I did this about a year ago using a can of Flexseal that I purchased on the clearance isle at Wallymart for about $7.00. The color that I bought happened to be very close to flat dark earth brown. It looked great and did a great job of restoring the top flap waterproofing. I recommend FS products after having used it successfully. I can say my experience was a positive one.
Awesome! Glad you commented. I'm curious to see how mine holds up as well.
incredible video. saves me time and frustration looking for a brand new pack. I cant wait to do this to my pack. Thanks for the video.
Awesome man, glad I could help. This was one of my viewers ideas. After trying it myself I had to share.
@@Brent0331 I wasn't expecting a comment but that was awesome!!! Thank you for your time. Semper Fi.
Seen this video just in time I was looking for a new Alice because mine has this same problem had my Alice for 25 years and this is the only problem it has thanks for the repair tip 👍
Awesome brother, thanks for watching!
Ps. flex seal has green just ordered it on line so you don’t have to paint
i have a alice pack and this type of rubberized army rucksack liner but i never used them together. now i see your video run into garage and plan a hiking tour for tomorrow :)) thx
Just picked up a 1988 woodland camo Alice pack for my collection. Surprisingly it's the first pack I'll need to try the flex seal trick to. I have several packs now, somehow they keep finding me! Would be cool if flex seal made a OD green. That would be awesome.
Great product for this I also have done an acu rain coat the same way, it turned out perfectly,was a little stiff but it does repel water great. Thanks for the video.
just did this to my LC1, worked great! nice trick, Brent.
Yes Brent! Watching your video's. I will certainly look after all my A.l.C.E. equipment. I worship my gear. Its the best combat gear ever devised. I love it.
My old issue pack is showing the same signs. I was going to try rubberized automotive undercoating or Plasti Dip spray but neither one seems ideal for various reasons. I do have a can of Flex Seal though and this just made up my mind. What a perfect application. Thanks Brent!
Thanks for watching.
When you said flex seal I lost ya for a sec
Good advice. On my Alice the coating turned to a powder. I cleaned it and used Flex seal clear color. It works great and I did not need to paint after application. The original OD green looked great. Did two coats. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome fix man. That's my problem exactly, and you got the cure.
Your welcome, thanks for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hello from BC Canada. Great Channel love the camouflage tests. Old thread I know but here I go anyways. Tried this product on my maps and works well for moisture control. Keeps my maps from "rotting" in wet weather. Just use multiple light coats.
Dude..I Love your Channel!!!
Thanx man, Cheers!
Hell yeah I literally just found mine the other day from 6 years ago with some of my gear still in there. Mine was made back during the gulf war. Got it off of the Portsmouth naval shipyard storage in New Hampshire/Maine
This technique works great. I finally got around to repairing one of my packs with zero waterproof material left. I used rustoleum spray rubber. A little talc added after everything dries keeps the rubber or paint from sticking.
Wow very smart idea!!
Great demo by the way!
Your absolutely correct about those rubberized inner liners smelling like vomit. They smell like that even when they are brand new. Good thing that smell doesn't get into your clothes when you stuff those liner bags.
I tried baking soda and it worked to get rid of the smell. So no smell, but, had baking soda all over my gear. I guess the general rule of thumb is to get something, you have to give up something. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
My ALICE large pack top flap deteriorated too. Along with a rain poncho. Flexseal to the rescue! Hope there is some OD Green color.
Another great video. Your room looks like the surplus store I used to go to in Berkeley, CA.
Great way to keep the ALICE pack going man, nice. I love the mannequin dressed as the Vietnam Marine, with the aviator shades he must be at Danang Airfield. Hey Brent, I saw Apocalypse Now "Final Cut" last weekend in IMAX theatre and yes it was f'ing awesome man!
That's pretty cool..
I just use 2 black trash bags to line the main body.. and freezer bags for the outer pockets
Great tip! Way better than contact cement and a piece of tarp. Dang technology keeping us going!
Have a surplus French F1 day pack & exterior latex coating deteriorating. Used flex seal on audio gear w/good results. There is a green flex seal spray. Next project restoration, & color match spray paint. Curing time essential for the flex seal for best results, dont hurry, it works
Great guy with a great guide. Awesome.
I've used Flex Seal on my MOLLE II patrol ruck. I sprayed the bottom for more abrasion resistance and to give rigidity to that portion of the ruck. Also did the same thing on my duffel bag.
Awesome idea, and ALICE keeps rolling on.
Nice repair, I have to do that to one of my packs. And yes I have some of those side pouches that smell like vomit as well, will have to look for the new ones. Thanks for sharing.
I like the flex seal paint, tape and glue. It works and is awesome
Thank you, I love the Alice Pack, bomb proof IMO, we werr issued the Large Ruck in 80'. I use the Large for BOB and extended camping trips. I am going try this on my Butt pack as well.
Smashing the thumbs up! Great Idea!
Very cool fix. Will give it a go
Damn what timing my pac is finally starting to break down what a smart idea thank you and you're commenter's. This worked like a charm I also water proofed my pac.
Brent, I just found your channel a week or so ago; I have to admit that I was perplexed at first about your interest in Vietnam era gear in the first video of yours that I watched. I was thinking; why would one of the new corps marines be so interested in our old so called obsolete field gear (hard corps) (ya you know, us old corps, the ones that had twice the PT requirements and we did real sit ups, and we thought that our body armor was when we took cover behind our big balls!) (just a "little" burn on you "new bees"). I think that the USS Boxer was also on the float that evacuated Vietnam from March through June of 1998. Back then I was still using the older 782 gear setup for web gear.(oh, FYI, the web belt in your video with the snaps around the center it is called a "pistol belt") Any way; I have trunks full of what you scrounge to collect, I got issued my "new/ never used medium Alice pack in June of 1978, I still have it and it's still ready to go! I got a couple of those big liners that you showed by convincing a couple of Army reservists on their two weeks in the summer that they didn't need them, and that I would "get ride" of them for them! dam, the reserves are dumb! I gathered most of my collection when I was the motor pool maintenance inspector at both the 3rd and 1st Div's. Everybody knows that when you turn in your vehicle for maintenance that you remove all gear! Dam, their dumb too! One General that was returning from 29 palms had his driver drop his M151 off at the motor pool for Maint. and was rather upset when his field lantern set disappeared from the back seat. "It must have been those other drivers from operations SIR!" I still use those lanterns with my GP small tent when I deer and bear hunt, going on 45 years now, never had to use the spare parts yet! "True story"...Lt butter bar and Capt butt hole busted me one day for obeying orders from a Navy Commander, (out ranks them both, "together") (oh I had a secret clearance, and the Capt. was jealous, when I checked into the company he raked me over the coals about it until my TOP "MSTRSGT" called him out and shut him up) Dam their both dumb! So I wrote a letter of appeal to the battalion Commander, "a Full Bird Coronal" He received my letter about fifteen minutes after the said Division Commander, " the General" called him to congratulate him for having the "only" Marine that received a "Noteworthy" result on that weeks FMF PAC inspection that worked for him at Headquarters Battalion 1st Mar Div. That Marine was none only than Cpl. me, myself, and I ! And he also notified him that next week the HQ Marine Corps Quantico, was sending a teem of 3 officers to study and implement Marine Corps wide, the system that I developed to track and validate modifications on every vehicle that my motor pool was responsible for! .....Long story short; Lt. butter bar and Capt. butt hole were ordered never to interfere with me again and I was also given a cushy job as the new FMF PAC Inspector for Motor T at the 1st Mar. Div. !............ So any Officers out there reading this;... NEVER F...WITH YOUR NCO's! They are SMARTER than you are!....WE RUN and OWN THE Marine CORPS!..............Have fun with your channel Brent!... CARRY ON MARINE! ...Semper Fi
OORAH BROTHER!!!
Great idea !!! I'm about to spray the crap out of my ALICE packs ! Thanks again !
Awesome tip, thanks!
Nice. Watching this I was thinking about painting the OD green first then clear Flex Seal over the top of that. I read the comment about green Flex Seal and nobody in my part of Texas sells it.
Yeah, I didn't see it at Lowes either. Maybe I over looked it but either way I don't think they have the same OD green color, I think its a bright green.
Genius ! 👍Thx for puttin it out there
Outstanding, love the flexseal. That stuff has 1,001 uses. I swear by it!
Yup! Fantastic product, I always saw the commercials but never thought of this until a few of my viewers talked about it.
Brett, thanks for sharing. This is a brilliant idea, you took the words right out of my mouth with the vomit comment , atb brother 👍
This is outstanding intelligence. Thank You so very much.
Great tutorial Battle. You're looking trim and fit to fight!
謝謝您分享這個影片！
這個做法非常地實用也很有效。謝謝！
我正在煩惱如何可以買一套比較好的ALICE後背包，謝謝您的分享！
Mad Dog said "Rain? You call that Rain?. Let me show you rain."
Thanks, you have indeed engaged your brain Marine.
i needed this for my ruck. you rock!
Thanks brother, after those guys told me about this in my last video I tried it out. Once I saw how great it worked I had to get the word out.
Just did my first coat on my Medium Alice pack. Only change was I taped off the nylon seams. First coat is a little rough but I can only see a little light through so it’s not bad. Next coat soon then the OD paint
Awesome idea. Thanks
Semper Fi Brother. Looks like we both should've stayed in.
Awesome video!
Well done sir!
Thank you I know how to repair mine now, thanks a lot. Semper Fi
Wow I can’t believe it actually works Flexsteel good for something I have a Canadian Forces backpack I need to do this to mine keep up the good work
I flex sealed a pair of boots back in 2017 that are still going strong. I use them as yard work boots.
Awesome idea.
Great job!
Great tip for keeping a great piece of gear field ready. I'm guessing the same could be done with the old waterproof bags we were issued, they tended to suffer the same kind of deterioration over time.
Love my Alice packs. I use a medium size for shopping,instead of a plastic bag (that the store charges you for).
And I have a large Alice loaded with gear for my Go bag😉.
