    Hi Bob. Excellent information. I look forward to seeing your packs, in person, later this summer. Much to learn, on my part. Since I've been advised to carry no more than 15 (or maybe 20?) pounds on my back, I'm trying to figure out how to best doo this. Cheers, Ken

    thank you brother I'm glad to be back in action.don't feel bad I I know what you're talking about I've done the same thing with some of my gear until I could find something I like.you can find the Molly 2 belts on Amazon for usually a fairly reasonable price with free shipping.

    @Bob808Knight  Před 11 lety

    thank you ken. I try to be as formative as possible in my how to videos. sometimes I get my point across sometimes I don't.:) definitely cannot wait for our meet up. I like the pictures of you and Bob camping you uploaded to Facebook. looks like you guys had a good time. when I watched your contest drawing video it reminded me of playing marbles when I was younger. I had to look around see if I still had some but I didn't. thanks for stopping by and watching my video have a great evening

  • @essexplodder9796

    nicely done little vid, i did use to own one of the medium alice packs, i had to buy the frame & the waist strap from 2 different places,, but i did use youtube to find out how to assemble the kit, but your vid is far better than the ones i viewed at the time,
    glad to see your out & about again,
    have fun, be happy,

    a 1 man backpacking tent makes a nice emergency shelter, takes up less space & is lighter in weight~ Just a thought~ A nice backpacking hammock w a fly is awesome as well~

  • @Bob808Knight
    @Bob808Knight  Před 11 lety

    no problem Karen . I'm sorry it took me so long to get the video up. I am feeling much better thank you for asking. I'm pretty sure I have the links to where I bought the straps on Amazon on my Facebook page. you might have to scroll down a little bit to find them though. I'm glad I could give you ideas on your pack. when you get your pack all setup I really love to see a video of it. have a great evening Karen if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 10 lety

      I'll be honest with you when I first received my ALICE pack. I didn't use it much.but after one of the straps on my Kelty broke..I had no choice but to grab the ALICE pack for a 3 day 2 night trek. After using it for the first mile and getting it dialed incorrectly. I didn't even notice I was wearing it. It is now my go too pack...I wouldn't trade it for the world brother. Thank you so much for your comment.

  • @A7Guitar
    @A7Guitar Před 9 lety

    Hi I just wanted to say thanks for the video. Ive tried all manner of packs but keep coming back to alice. I mean i like molle better yet ive had more loose threads in molle packs in one week than ever in my alice in a whole year. As for durability ive got to keep the pack I know will keep going. For what its worth if you can grab the straps from a gi molle medic pack and the bottom tail straps to a gi molle assault pack you can make an amazing pair of straps for the alice pack. Its expensive and similar to the upgraded woodland alice straps but much more comfortable.

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 9 lety

      +Dee “Danielle Reed” . Ghost I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the tip about the straps. I have to give that a try if I can find them on Amazon for cheap...as always thank you so much for your comment and have a great day.

  • @Bob808Knight
    @Bob808Knight  Před 11 lety

  • @geraldmiller8973
    @geraldmiller8973 Před 6 lety

    i found 2 sternums to put on the front of my two alice packs. one of them is on a frame. they really help to keep the pack from moving around and help to secure it and stay in place.

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 6 lety

      Mmmm That's not a badd idea I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip...

      i found a site that has sternums to fit the alice pack. they say they are out of them now. but you could still contact them.www.militarysurplusllc.

  • @jeffrichards5106
    @jeffrichards5106 Před 6 lety

    Great video Bob. I never thought about attaching the Molle waist belt to the ALICE when I'm not using a frame. Thanks for sharing. Been working on trying to perfect my medium Alice (w/frame) for about 3 yrs. now. I did the "Hellcat" mod to mine. I think I'm getting there LOL.

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 6 lety

      Thanks Jeff.. I have yet to make the hellcat mod to my Alice pack.. I forsee me doing it in the near future though.. Went you add the Molly two waste belt you'll find it distributes the weight much better than the LC2 belt the comes with the pack.. Well at least I did... Thank you so much for your comment and have a great evening..

    • @jeffrichards5106
      @jeffrichards5106 Před 6 lety

      Yeah, I find the Molle waist belt much more comfortable too and also the Molle shoulder straps . Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to put my tent. I added the sleep carrier system to the bottom of the pack which holds my sleeping bag. I have my inflating mattress inside and bottom of the main pack. Not sure whether to put my tent on the bottom of the pack? the sleep system bag is kind of in the way. Or, to put the tent on top of the pack under the main flap?? any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
      Take care.

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 6 lety

      Hey Jeff what sleep carry system are you using?
      In the summer months I put my thermal rest on the top of the pack and my tent and fleece blanket on the bottom... In the Winter I attach my sleep carry system on the bottom... Then put my tent on top of it and my thermal rest on top..

    • @jeffrichards5106

    @stevem425 Před 8 lety +1

    @Grizzly907LA Před 9 lety +2

    The venerable ALICE pack is one versatile pack and can modified in any number of ways to suit the person that's wearing. I did the wildcat mod on mine and am going to fix it so I can attach the molle sleep system carrier on the bottom of it. Some dog on this pack but I don't get why. Its stood the test of time. This is 40 year old technology and it still rocks. Great video, and you have given me some ideas. How did you install the extra snaps? Thanks!

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 8 lety

      +Mike Taylor cool Mike I'm glad my video can help you out.I wrap the velcro around the machete and the frame of the pack...I used three pieces of Velcro just to make sure it would stay on the pack..if you have anymore questions about the pack please feel free to ask. ...And thank you so much for your comment I do appreciate it.

      kobakgb thanks brother. I do recommend using the ALICE pack with a frame..you can carry a lot more weight and it does not hurt your back.yes I am a die hard ALICE pack user :-)

  • @sarahdresler9776
    @sarahdresler9776 Před 5 lety

    Thanks for the video and sorry if it’s been too long since the video came out but I have one question. There are metal D rings down at the bottom sides of the medium pack. I didn’t see you use them when attaching the shoulder straps or the side belt/strap to the frame. What are these used for?

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 5 lety

      Hi Sarah that is a good question.. The D rings at the bottom are for when you remove the frame...You can attach the shoulder straps and part of the waist belt to them... I'm glad you enjoyed the video...Yes it's been a while since I released it but I always try to answer every comment. Sometimes it just takes me awhile :-) have a great day...

  • @chernoberserker8365
    @chernoberserker8365 Před 5 lety +1

    Okay what do you do if your without the frame Does Not have those metal chips at the top that you run the straps through?

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 5 lety

      That's an excellent question. And I have an answer for you and fortunately there will be some sewing involved. What you want to do is head to Walmart go to the Sporting Goods department and head for the camping section and pick up some nylon straps. They're only a couple of dollars. Next you want to find either D-Rings or O-rings make sure they're medium to heavy duty. Usually you have to go to a hobby store for those. Are also a couple dollars I think they come in packs of 4.
      Now the fun part. You want to sew loops on where the shoulder straps would normally attached. Of course add your D rings or o-rings. Make sure you put a backing on the loop just for some extra reinforcements.. You want to use a zig-zag stitch. With heavy duty thread...
      I hope that answered your question if you have anymore please feel free to ask. As always thank you so much for your comment and have a great evening my friend.

    thank you brother. I've always wanted to get a large size ALICE pack. I see him on Amazon every once in awhile. but they want a little bit too much money for them. I had to upgrade my waist belt because the original waist belt just wasn't working out from me. the darn thing kept sliding off lol I am interested in your modifications though. do you have a video of them? or if you want you're more than welcome to upload pictures to my facebook page. thanks for the comment brother

      I'm glad you enjoy the video. You can find the straps on Amazon. Unfortunately G+ won't let me post a link. Just search replacement straps for the Alice pack. You want to get the upgrade straps. Not the LC 2 or 4

    Great video Bob! Where did u get those shoulder straps at? Are they more comfortable than the molle 2 straps?

      thank you Peter.I got the strips from Amazon. Search military surplus and you should be able to find. I think about the same as a Molly 2 straps .

    Can the large version of the Alice pack be used without the frame? Or only the medium size?
    Thanks

    • @Bob808Knight
      @Bob808Knight  Před 2 lety

      You absolutely can but I don't recommend putting a lot of weight in a pack. It'll be rough on your back as your hiking. As always thank you so much for your comment and have a great evening

    Should I buy an ALICE Pack with the straps and frame or without? I'm going to use it as a "survival pack" so I will be carrying it for extended amounts of time and with a good amount weight. What is your opinion on what I should do?

    • @Bob808Knight

      Ḭ̷͌ ̵͈͊L̶̟̈i̷̠̔k̵̬͑ė̵̹ ̴͙͗T̵̟̊u̴̖̓r̵̆͜t̶̊͜l̶̙͝e̶̡͛s̷̢̆ that's a really good question. I would buy the ALICE pack with a frame especially if you're going to carry a heavy load. Definitely switch the straps and waist belt out go to the upgraded version...talk a little bit about weight how much are you expecting that carries. Recently I did a trip with my pack was loaded between 50 and 60 pounds I did a lot of modifikation to mine in order to carry that much weight. If you don't want to make a lot of modifications I would check into a Molly 2. ..they are rated to hold over a hundred pounds. Which I really don't think anybody is going to carry that much weight....I really hope this answers your question if you have any more feel free to ask.

      Bob808Knight . Ok thank you. I might have a few more questions later on but I will definitely go and research a Molly 2. But I am also wanting something that is pretty cheep, like under $70 and can carry bulk not just weight.

      BuckWheat you should definitely use the frame because it puts the weight on your legs and its lighter its not hard on your back and you can carry as much weight as your legs can hold

    I just found your channel and Sub'ed to it. I'm fixing to buy an Alice pack but not sure which one I want or need. I was going to get a Large Alice pack but now, I think I should get an Midsize or Medium one now. (I just had Open Heart Surgery back in June of this year) so I don't want to over do it, I want to be able to carry around 35 lbs. on my back. I want it for a "When the Crap Hits the Fan Bag". Any suggestions would be really great. Also, I Liked your video, except the "Squeaking" table I think it was. he-he. ;)

      Hi Richard... Honestly I do not know I have never tried.. I wash mine with the hose and some very light detergent... I'm thinking if you put it in a washer then the dryer there is chance you could damage the threads...

      please don't own a large frame ALICE pack. If you could do me a big favor and have the time take some pictures of it and upload it to my facebook page and I'll take a look at it. But it is odd that it doesn't have a attachment rings on the top of the pack.

      @Bob808Knight  Před 5 lety

      Understandable.. There's always another option.. You can make a frame out of PVC pipe.. I have done that and I'm still working out the bugs but so far I like it.. As always thank you so much for your comment and have a great day my friend.
