The ALICE Thread

[Scouter17]

Thought OI would update a bit. Been a while since I was on here, but I have been solwly modifying my Alice with things that seem to suit my needs...mainly Scouting adventures. IMG-20130331-00207.jpgIMG-20130331-00208.jpg
I have found that certain Molle pouches attach nicely in certain areas. I have four IFAK pouches shown in these pics, but I also use two 2qt water bladders in the lower positions on the sides. On top of the main compartment flap I have added a Condor Butt Pack, I believe Fox industries make a similar product. Of course, you'll see an MSS as well. Overall, I am pretty happy with the set up and feel of the Alice right now. I haven't purchased the Molle II shoulder straps or kindney belt yet, I am pretty happy with how it feels with the LC-2 equipment.

The difference in the shoulder straps are night and day. Do yourself a favor and upgrade them. You'll be happy you did. I like the IFAK pouches but the darn thing already holds more than I want to carry. Those would force me to find more gear to carry. :O)

Which do you prefer the large or Medium Alice Pack?
I have both, but find I use the medium mostly. The large tends to pull you backwards and you can easily get carried away with the space and end up packing 40-50 kilos (80-100 lbs.)

I have two LC-1s one medium and one large. I have never had a frame on the medium. I have used it as a "truck" bag for about 10 years or so until just recently when I swapped out for the ILBE. I have used my large Alice quite a bit on weekend trips with the Scouts but I never really liked it as much as I did my Jansport D-4. I agree completely the large Alice really is big and you can sure "slip over the edge" on packing too much stuff very easy...
