Alice pack modifications - 08/23/02 10:19 PM
Hello<br> I am new to this forum and have been reading the post with great interest for the past few weeks. I have gained a lot of information on various topics and was interested in the recent subject of alice packs. I understand most of the pros and cons of using alice packs and have read some of the modifications people have done to them and was wondering if there were any other suggestions to improving the alice pack system?<br>The reason for my request is that i just picked up 2 medium alice bags for 7 dollars each, just the bags no shoulder straps or waist belt. I wanted to use them for 72 hour bug out bags (if i need to evacuate my apartment). I already have another medium alice with the military shoulder straps, waist belt and military frame but am interested in any ideas that could be used to better it.<br>On the web there is a site that suggest using the synthetic plastic frames made by coleman called ramflex. I think they are the same design as the enduroflex frames put out by outdoor products. I also have read on this forum that the frieghtliner frame can be used with the large bag. Has anyone tried the synthetic frames with alice bags? Any other suggestions or modifications?
