I've been working on a few mods on my ALICE pack that includes adding a sternum/chest strap, quick release buckles on the straps, paracord, and added a carrier for my sleep system.
I decided to go with a MOLLE magazine pouch to attach my Husqvarna 26" Multipurpose axe to the ALICE pack. The first order of business though was cleaning this pack. It had been in storage for what seems like a very long time and there was quite a bit of rust on the buckles and rings and corrosion on the snaps. The pack itself was just plain old dirty. We washed it off with a scrub brush and Dawn dish detergent and were pleasantly surprised at how clean this one came out.
The mods are a collection of ideas from around the internet as well as just plain ol' imagination.
The military ALICE pack is a rugged, durable backpack designed for use in the field by soldiers. Its name stands for "All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment". The pack is made from heavy-duty nylon and features a metal frame for added support. It has a large main compartment with a drawstring closure and a flap that buckles down over the top. Additionally, there are several exterior pockets for organizing smaller items.
The pack is designed to carry a load of up to 70 pounds comfortably, making it ideal for extended missions. It is adjustable to fit a wide range of body types and has padded shoulder straps and a waist belt to distribute the weight evenly. The ALICE pack is a classic piece of military gear that has been used by troops for decades, and its rugged design has stood the test of time.
