probably one of the most important videos in youtube

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thank You. Thanks for watching Contra.

I understand civilian companies try their best to make good bags but they need to make sure they can handle the heat of good ruffness.

[@fleshharvester1723]

I was in the Army for 6 years, the newer (at the time) ACU (urban digital) had almost the exact same setup as this one. Being out for a few years now, I missed having a rucksack and bought all the parts to a woodland one, completely forgetting how to assemble it, and Im having a good time putting it together while watching. Thank you for this

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Man I'm glad you've enjoyed this video. I tried to explain the best I can and without getting in the shot. Thanks for dropping by.

[@AaronBrand]

Thanks for the video. I saw one of these frames in a surplus store and was tempted to buy it. But it seems like you need to have specific parts to make use of it.

[@rabidtaz1306]

Thank you. I just ordered this pack in pieces. I was going to do it WRONG.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Your very welcome. Glad you dropped by.

[@ramoncontigo65]

Such an awesome sturdy bag and sad very hard to find a good one or one with low usage.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

It's a nice setup for sure, love the woodland camo. Every now and than you can find them on ebay.

[@williamolliges2622]

Little jealous. I’ve got straps, belts, and sustainment pouches in woodland for modifying my woodland Alice Pack. The odds and ends pouches are pretty obtainable, but the rucksack and frame are unicorns. As far as the grenade pouches go . . . A Vortex laser rangefinder fits, but the dust intrusion was bad, so no. I crammed a baclava into one. I also was able to fit a medium sized headlamp in one of the pouches. Best use by far I’ve found is the pouch holds precisely two cans of Copenhagen. Moving on to the waist pack, I used to believe the waist pack fits precisely one poncho liner until another KZbin channel fit the entire Ranger Roll in one. Nice job gathering the whole kit in woodland.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks William. Looks like your putting a good working setup together with the ALICE medium. Woodland is getting very difficult to find in excellent to new condition. I'm still looking for good buys. Two cans of Copenhagen, nothing more to say LOL

[@brapgabslab7336]

This video is a god send thank you so much for doing this the only other video series is can find is a decade old and is hard to watch I have the old black frame but this video is great.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Thanks brap. I do understand what you mean. Almost all the videos are old, blurry, out of focus and improperly explained. This is why I done this video. I'm glad you like it. Cheers!

[@bushforme]

I bought one of these at a flea market in woodland(my favorite camo) for 60.00..looks like new but has the black frame which is cracked..I've seen the green frames on ebay new..is the green frame the same?Green is my favorite color..I was going to use the bags and straps for another Alice pack mod..now I might go ahead and fix this one..thank you!!!

[@danielcharbonneau222]

For me I would try and restore the one you bought. You got yourself a great deal for $60.00. Try and get a frame like the one I have, it's a better built one.

[@bushforme]

@danielcharbonneau222 thanks for the reply..so there is a difference in the frames? I got it at that price because I pointed out that the black frame had a crack..I like the green frames ..I've heard the black one were known to break..what exactly should I look for? I'm 67 and won't be humping much weight..;)

[@danielcharbonneau222]

@@bushforme At 0:50 I show and state that the frame I have is a Gen 4 {new} I bought it on ebay. The Gen 4 is built a whole lot better and has a less chance of cracking under load. On ebay Type in the following, USGI Military MOLLE II Pack Frame Gen 4 Foliage Green I just check out ebay.ca and ebay.com and there are lots for sale. I'm 63 and will not be loading up my pack as well, but, I believe that either way you should get the Gen 4 frame. It's a better choice.

[@bushforme]

@danielcharbonneau222 thank you again for the reply and thank you for your service

[@xxkrnplaysxx1683]

Can you do a video on how the 3-day pack attaches to the ruck, not the ruck frame but the ruck itself to basically have two bags attached.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yes I can put a planed video together for you at a later time.

[@bushforme]

I have this pack and the 3 day assult pack in woodland and didn't know they hookup together..I have a lot to learn! Thanks for that!

[@SouthernPatriot1]

I feel your pain lol I am still trying to piece one together. Happy Valentines Day to you and yours. Great series start! Take care and God bless.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

LOL With my big hands and the wool blanket moving so much was a task. Thanks for dropping by Nikki. Happy Valentines Day. I'm glad your feeling well again.

[@brapgabslab7336]

There is a milsurp store that sells near complete ones minus the waist belt, but those are easy enough to find on Ebay

[@danielcharbonneau222]

@@brapgabslab7336 The problem that I faced a lot was, stock was full, used and they don't pick, you get what they grab and some surplus don't ship outside of the US. I wanted unissued or AA plus as best as I can get. It did take me a while to gather up everything, but, I got exactly what I wanted. Now ebay has new unissued Main Packs NSN8465-01-465-2289 for $45 US but they want $23 US for shipping with no straps. I am satisfied with the items that I did receive. Thanks for dropping by brap.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Definitely not assembled as designed

[@danielcharbonneau222]

It was noted in the description, " may not be as to Military Specs". I built three different systems with what I had on the table. I also changed the main rucksack twice to date. Thanks for dropping by.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Awesome project, looks really fiddly though. I like the quick release, we have ice to cross here too.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Tim, I do know what you mean by fiddly, but, the worst part is over for now. Big hands and fingers don't work well in confined spaces. 😂

[@unprofessionalgopnik6827]

Where’d you get the kidney belt and shoulder straps from?

[@danielcharbonneau222]

ebay. But be patient, wait and you'll get new for a very low cost. So far I've bought 5 complete sets and paid a low cost for each one. Each item was bought separately. Thanks for dropping by.

[@Bob-eo3gf]

Can someone tell me if tail straps are also called attachment straps? Learning about the Molle II system. The reason I asked was I just purchased the shoulder straps, said it was in great shape, minus tail straps.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Are you thinking of this strap. which is at times called the QUICK RELEASE MALE BUCKLE FOR SHOULDER STRAPS. These straps attach the shoulder straps to the bottom of the frame.

[@Bob-eo3gf]

@@danielcharbonneau222 That could be it, I just ordered some attachment straps. It appears that's what is missing on the shoulder strap configuration I ordered.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

@@Bob-eo3gf I think that's what your missing.

Your very welcome Bill. I glad you dropped by for a watch and left a comment.

Very detailed thank you

Thanks Jason.

[@HarshmanHills]

i am still stuck on Alice

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yes I hear you James. I still have a Large and a Woodland Medium ALICE that I'll never part with. But this MOLLE II System, it's nice and big when needed. Part Two coming up.

[@williamolliges2622]

I’m with you, but consider obtaining the waist belt and shoulder straps featured in this video. They are a good upgrade to Alice.
