Medium ALICE Pack, Soldier Configuration, on DEI 1609 Pack Frame

This is a complete,, contract-dated in the 21st century, Medium ALICE Backpack with the foliage green Downeast Innovations Model 1609 Backpack Frame that combines effectively with the U.S. Marine shade of o.d. green of the ALICE Pack. Displayed is a basic soldier type of configuration for use with a rifleman's kit (no body armor) LBE that tends to be more ideal for use in wilderness settings that also involve significant rucking about or that are logistically situated such that body-armor is not likely available for use.
With the Downeast Innovations (DEI) 1609 Open Perimeter Pack Frame, I am inclined to reduce the overall weight of the ruck load to 30 lbs or less, with no more than 5 lbs of additional ammunition or munitions load to add for full combat use (less than 35 lbs total combat ruck load).

An urban or AT Pack mod.
Military gear is certainly durable. And heavy
The Alice pack with frame 9 pounds. I used the pack adapter for cargo. The frame is now a second cargo pack.
A second set of straps. A light waistbelt or padded belt with pockets. Id seen the trash can mod and windered how it works for a frame. Also WL mart packs have a plastic backboard with reinfiecibg strip.
The Alice said to be 40 liters. If the patrol pack is added to the base it holds a midern high dollar down sleeping bag. A 9 pound Army Down may be subzero but is a camp bag not a hiking bag.
Scales- I weighed the pack at 2.2 with straps oy and no liners. I dont think yhats correct and will test the scale against a known weight.
A simple pack rain cover can be im most colors. It has a military appearance yet is sturdily made and thought out. No broken straps, discoloration, or tears.
The nicest featire ive seen on AT packs is the addition of pockets on the padded waist belts. They recommend 25-35 pound oacks on the hostel hop. About three day sprints betwwen shuttles and hostels. ( We used to have to walk into a town every ten days.)
Older im looking at a 35 pound urban and trail pack that would be a companion even on hospital trips.
Very frustrated with facebook. I could no longer discuss the Alice pack or gear.

I've tried this mod on my own medium ALICE and found the tops of the DEI 1609 frame don't stay securely in the back pad of the pack... this became apparent especially when loaded. Disappointing b/c this frame is much lighter than the standard frame and a lot less bulky... if the top points were connected it would be almost perfect. I also found that occasionally items inside the pack would poke thru the rear but this could be accommodated by packing it carefully

How so? I actually was more concerned about it coming off when unloaded. Might be the way it is secured to the bottom of the frame?
