I have been thinking of doing this too ..I carry the old Alice pack and have for years ..I just got a new Army pack from a resale shop ..Thanks for the video
Yeah I didn't want to switch but when I saw josh wil man Moran's pack I figured I better try it out and I'm loving the convenience and just the change I guess is good, you know something new
Good video. Just subscribed. My favorite pack. I put the sustainment pouches on the side instead of canteen pouch. Had to use gear ties on front side. But it works good
Hi Chris, Great video. I like being able to add pouches to the outside of a pack, lets you have easy access to important things. Your fire kit give away is a real neat way to have one. Does it work like this, it gets sent around and each person adds something to it and sends it to the next? Great concept indeed! That was one odd looking rabbit sitting next to you! Congrats on the 1K subs, your videos are really that good to deserve lots and lots of new subs! Take care, Chris, Ben, Dave, and Geof
+Chris Collier LOL my good friend. Yes thats cyclone the brown rabbit dog! Yes the fire kit works just like that with everyone who adds items also gives me a name to put in the hat. This way it is like everyones GAW and I'm just organizing it. I thought this would be good to bring everyone together and for someone who doesn't have a kit yet. I would like to add an item from you that you have already sent me if thats ok with you? I will make a video on your behalf. I will need a name from you on who you think would be a good recipient for the kit. They have to be able to make videos as everyone would like to see the kit out to the very end. This also limits the amount of winners so that we can influence where it goes a little. Thank you for the congrats I really appreciate all of your support and friendship. God bless, Chris, Tawny, Breauna, Brandon, Gunny(the big brown dog) and Cyclone( the rabbit dog)
well other than the addiction/obsession with fat wood ....and a unstable tri pod? ;) you do good stuff and seem humble and that goes a long ways with me lol
I hate camelbaks, damn carpenter ants chewed through mine a few years ago, now I have a 72ounce Giant whisky flask I use. Awesome pack man, I may have to check 1 out for myself
+4 directions bushcraft I had some hunting and fish vids up but I deleted them I started a new channel "BC Outdoors" I've got a couple of reviews I need to put up but the WiFi has been down the last few days lol
+Dayzerosurvival Thank you I appreciate it. Yeah these packs are the way to go if you have the extra money. You can sometimes find them at flea markets as well. The walmart packs are not bad though.
You were correct that is an Army specific pack, and the pattern is ACU, I served in BDUs and then Marine Corps digitals in the Corps and then in the Army I wore BDUs then had to switch to ACU and I think ACU is the ugliest pattern ever invented. Those old alligator clips suck, they either jam or get too loose if used too much, not sustainable without replacing, so not INCH sustainable. Haha thats not "Vietnam era", thats the stuff from the 80s and 90s we used until the new post 9-11 gear came out. Until we got the the new post 9-11 gear we were even using some stuff from the 80s in the Corps, it was a bit rediculous but I joined January 2001 so I was too boot to understand that. THE ALICE PACK IS A LEGEND! The Alice pack was in service from the Vietnam war to the early 2000s, almost half a century with only slight variation. I have alot of different packs but I got a soft spot for the ALICE pack, I think most vets do.
I've got one from over a year ago.and before that i got the OCP version but hard times came and i had to sell it.😪 now i have the UCP camo version and i love it.👍
Chris don't cut the back plate out, that is the support for your back it works like the old frame for the alice. Do what you want its your pack just my thoughts.
+The Dragon Lady he loves being in all the videos his name is cyclone lol. Nothing wrong with the Colman brand. Yeah I saw that you put one up. Nice Fatwood stump. It's on my list to watch I just haven't had a chance. Thanks I'll watch today.
Hey Brother, I am happy for you. Are you thinking of selling that Alice pack cause I have been looking for one for a while. Let me know if you want to work something out. Before you know it, it'll be 10k subs. Great work my dear friend.
Hey hey my good friend!! I will have to regretfully decline that great offer due to the attachment I have for this particular bag but come spring I can get you one from my supplier real cheap I'll let you know and I'll just make it a gift but give me some time on it. Hey do you want tarred bank line or plain? Sending you a package tomorrow!
Great looking pack and congrats on the subs sir! Fun with camp fire smoke!! :)
Congratulations on 1000 subs! And nice review of that pack, looks like it will serve you well. Take care.

Gee, I don't really know who would not have a fire kit.
I guess maybe :
"The Last Grownup in the Woods"
?
That sounds good, Thanks
I've watched a few of her videos but I'm not to familiar with what kind of equipment she has. Could be a great gift for her.
Awesome bags, I have both & love both of them.
nice job on the subs brother you have worked hard for it
+Boreal Woodsrunner Thank you my good friend I appreciate you sticking with me during this time.
well other than the addiction/obsession with fat wood ....and a unstable tri pod? ;) you do good stuff and seem humble and that goes a long ways with me lol
+Boreal Woodsrunner lol thank you. Yeah I have some problems but over all I can't complain. Ha ha ha thank you for watching as always!
Looks like a great pack.
Thank you I appreciate that and thanks for watching as well.
It would take an act of God to make me change bags from my ALICE pac. Glad you like the new one. I subbed and I'm looking forward to more videos.
Yeah it was a tuff one. Thank you for your support
Frame or no frame?
Medium or large?
I hate camelbaks, damn carpenter ants chewed through mine a few years ago, now I have a 72ounce Giant whisky flask I use. Awesome pack man, I may have to check 1 out for myself
Damn man I could imagine dealing with those damn ants

Congrats on the subs dude
Can't thank you enough brother
Nice pack I'm interested in it. I just got a day pack from Walmart and looking for something bigger love the videos!
+Dayzerosurvival Thank you I appreciate it. Yeah these packs are the way to go if you have the extra money. You can sometimes find them at flea markets as well. The walmart packs are not bad though.
+4 directions bushcraft Ya there not bad there just a little small then you are trying to take moe than a days worth of gear and camera equipment.
+Dayzerosurvival yeah camera stuff can take up a lot of room
looking forward to it
you can alice packs modulate to infinity
they are great packs
Oh yeah they are fantastic when it comes to that
Great vid!!! What does it weigh when you are loaded out for a typical 3-day trip? Keep turning the vids out, I always learn something new.
Thank you. I can pack for three days at about 30-40 lbs. I don't take to much unless it's winter like now then I'm pushing 45lbs. With a bag and bivy.
I like that pack alot
+Schuller Survival and Reviews Thank you I appreciate that.
