I like the slide closures on the pockets. I had the same version. Way better than whatever those newer ones are suppose to do. Only problem is once they start to come apart they’re toast.

Great idea. I have my ALICE pack on a MOLLE frame, but it still has the same problem, I will be looking into a way to do this on my frame. I love the ALICE pack, but the MOLLE frame gives a lot more attachment points and is a lot more comfortable. Thanks for the ideas. When heating PVC, I use a heat gun, it is quick and effective. Works even better if you put the PVC on an aluminum foil background.

Thanks. Very innovative!

Great idea, thanks for sharing.

The leg idea is great!

great idea

Glad you enjoyed it

I made a simple straight frame with a shelf like extension on the bottom out of PVC. My goal wasn't to do with increased capacity or ergonomics. I did it to make the pack stand up in a semi cab or car. In a truck it's bungeed to the jump seat or on the floor between seats. And it works in the sleeper too. I have cook kit and rain gear, snacks, C.D.s, all in one place. I can even use it for a C.B. radio bag. I like your container idea for the pouches, but what brand of wipes? Because iveynever seen them in a bucket before!

You can also cut your frame about 1 inch. Your alice will stand right away

Brilliant

Pretty ingenious! Nice one

I like this hack and I am wondering if it will work with a diy frame made from pvc also besides the standard steel tube slice frames?

I don't know how your tubing ends at the bottom. But all you have to do is make you some dole rods. And put it inside the PVC. Then you can screw these lagbbolts into it, make it like that.

what kind of metal buckles did you use? I have the same issue with plastic fastex.

Hmmmmm I have 2 surplus ALICE packs and the hardware is metal ( I think the shoulder QR is plastic maybe)

@@maxpinson5002 yeah. mine were the metal slides and I replaced with fastex buckles. i like the idea of newer metal buckles (type he showed) instead of the new plastic but was much easier to get into with fastex but not as durable as the old gear. I have a few myself and I have been playing with one of them to see what works and what doesn't for me.

They're just the mini tactical belt buckles. I have the same one larger for my belts And I kept looking on amazon and I found smaller ones they're great
