Lots of great options out there these days for packs- and the faithful ALICE pack remains a great one. Rugged, reliable and made modular in pieces so that you can customize it. We took the basic ALICE setup and are offering a customized version that is ideal for use as a bugout bag by adding a MOLLE waist belt that is a huge improvement in comfort and weigh distribution and a MOLLE canteen cover and canteen on it, eliminating the need for a separate belt for it while allowing easy access to it.

Here is a video showing some of the upgrade: 


The basic kit - The basic kit comes with the medium OD ALICE Pack with frame, a MOLLE waist belt, MOLLE canteen cover and a brand new USGI plastic canteen. A good basic set that is reliable and rugged and easy to use.


The options we offer are as follows:

Pack Size & Color- Medium Olive Drab, Medium in Woodland Camo and Large in Olive Drab. They never made a large in woodland camo- so that is why we don't list that!

Straps- regular kit comes with standard ALICe straps. we offer an upgrade to the MOLLE straps with more padding that takes your pack closer to the hellcat style mod.

Add MOLLE sleep system carrier- this adds the MOLLE style sleep system carrier that can be attached under your pack to carry a sleeping bag or other gear. A popular idea is to keep your cold weather gear in that bag so you can shift your emergency kit from summer to winter configuration without repacking it all.

Waist belt color- right now we have new belts in desert camo or used ones in woodland camo- your choice at the same price. Some people prefer the woodland, some like the desert better, and if color doesn't matter new is better than used for the same price to many people.

Cantene cover color- right now we have used woodland camo or new Coyote brown available. Coyote blends better with the desert belts but looks just as at home with the woodland.

With cold weather coming it is also time to be thinking about cold weather sleeping gear- so think about getting one of our 4 piece USGI sleep systems- the modular usgi sleep system system is good from summer down to -40 degrees and you get two sleeping bags, Gore-Tex bivy cover and stuff sack for just $139.50.
