ALICE pack FILBE frame and MOLLE hybrid

Alice/Molle/filbe pack overview:
want to upgrade your large alice? or just not a fan of the current rucksacks? Try putting this together. There are more ways to do this and I am certainly not the first. But I will go through what you can expect and how to make it work for you.
Original inspiration was from a 2015 @ssd.collection "Baldwin Files" article that ended being one of those things semi forgotten about until I saw a @counting_coup_tactical post and @redbeardtactical.de not to long ago that made me go "oh damn I never started that project"

Lol... The vintage buckles!!! I work at a outdoor store that sells lot of military surplus packs. I spend an hour or two daily sometimes buckling ruck sacks up.

Very nice thanks..

Thunderhead Outfitters is where I have purchased the shoulder straps. It’s hit and miss on their stock.

As soon as you apologize for the quality of the video, I turn it off.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

If you did switch to the molle 2 style belt a lot of soldiers have said that putting it on upside down makes a world of difference. A sad sack is a happy back. Also, the FILBE straps aren't very durable and crap out way before anything Molle 2.

[@thehistoricalrecord2128]

haven't tried the upside down but the larger belt did seem to work better, with the weight and being able to hang pouches from it with out dangling all over. The FILBE straps do work a lot better with this set up. (duh right? since they were designed to) and so far the durability seems fine.

How did the waist pad work out? I'm doing something similar with an LBT 8 pocket ruck...

[@thehistoricalrecord2128]

Haven't done a trip with it yet but so far it feels good. I did end up switching it out for the regular molle belt as I wanted to mount a Nalgene on the belt and the medium ruck belt doesn't have the rigidity to hold it up without being buckled. So dealers choice I guess. If you don't think you will use the molle they the medium belt is probably better.

9:50 can you do a video on how rig that buckle up?

[@thehistoricalrecord2128]

The hip or shoulders?

@@thehistoricalrecord2128 that buckle at 9:27 ,the big black one that you called trilock,and of course the other one that's smaller in khaki color

[@thehistoricalrecord2128]

@@ContraIsBased i just ran the load lifter straps through the triglide then looped through the slots on the frame and back through the triglide. here's an ig post on it. I wasn't too happy with it though so I ended up getting FILBE suspenders instead. Here's a post I did outlining it. instagram.com/p/CfeR84bLxps/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

@correct haha, no worries glad I can be of help

[@erictavares678]

appreciate the creativity but going out of your way to use an FILBE frame on an ALICE pack is truly the worst of both worlds

[@j.o.t.b3017]

Exactly. I just put a Filbe pack on an Alice frame. With molle 2 shoulder straps. My plastic frame cracked on me in the field 👎🏾

[@tB3o3tR9o9]

the colors doesn't match i don't like it

[@tommyseabee2176]

Check out OVInnovations. They sell the load lifter repair parts for blown out FILBE shoulder straps. They also sell an ALICE fastex kit.

[@thehistoricalrecord2128]

I should do an update video as I ended up switching out the MOLLE for an FILBE shoulders and they attach way better.

good job my ni99a!
