The Mini Malice Pack: Medium Alice Pack Mods

In this video, I break down my medium Alice pack, and all the modifications that I’ve made to it. This pack is tried and true and is far from retirement! Enjoy! And thanks for watching!

The Alice packs are by far one of the best pieces of gear ever issued

[@zensempai7371]

Besides the waterproofing they are indeed among the best 🙌

[@MSgtZRetUSMC]

Absolutely

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

​​@@zensempai7371 to be fair that's what a poncho is for. It goes over the pack and all. Perhaps in the jungle of 'nam during a war that solution isn't perfect but for backpayand bush crafting a poncho is that solution. Nobody relies on their backpack to be waterproof. 1:48

I have a set up that I did to my ALICE back in 2006 that looks just like this. I used scavenged parts of an assault pack to sew PALs webbing on the pack lid and sides. this allowed for the attachment of USMC issued MOLLE sustainment pouches and two HSG saw drum pouches on the lid. I, too, replaced all the metal for fastex that was salvaged from the same pack...I made some removable shoulder strap pads and it was perfect. still have it. Thank God that my Grandma and STA platoon made learn to sew! Semper Fidelis

[@deathfromabove2250]

Having served during the reign of the Alice pack, I can tell you Alice packs weren't issued any better than old beat up molle packs today. My first unit I got issued an Alice pack that probably was used in Nam. The frame was cracked in multiple places, it had Lc1 straps that were flat as cardboard, it had holes in the pack bag itself. But CIF told me if the holes didn't meet a specific size it was still servicable.....yeah. Troops beat up gear. That's all their is to it. But I am a huge Alice pack fan. A large Alice is my current go to pack for my own civil preparedness. 💪🤙

[@TheGruntPerspective]

[@williamolliges2622]

The way you went about attaching a pouch to the Alice pack lid is pure genius. The overall effect of attaching the pouches the way you did makes my attaching a Molle Sustainment pouch to each side of the pack seem like amateur hour.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Haha thanks, I’ve done that before though, worked very well

[@lecherojr]

The medium ALICE is maybe the best pack for most Marine infantry operations. I used one extensively from 04-15 and somewhere in there had TT modify it. Claymore pouch on the lid, reinforced stress areas, MOLLE above the pouches and on the sides. I’m not sure if you’ve seen them or not, but check out WTF straps. They’re hypalon malice clips essentially, you can use them to replace all your gator clips. More secure, no worries about rust, no noise and a bit more svelte.

[@grenadespoon]

So funny. 20 years ago we had a lot of higher ups always get rid of any modifications that we had. Uniformity was everything even though everything uniformly worked like shit. I’m glad after long wars that somebody came to their senses.

[@SoloRenegade]

totally agree. I understand requiring certain minimum base equipment, but the exact placement and such needs to be suited to the individual. In my unit overseas for a time we did mandate where everyone had their medkit so everyone else knew where to find it, but we ran rather custom beyond that. We even modified our M16 and M4 rifles (Stocks, grips, handguards, optics, triggers, selector levers, mag releases, magazines, steel mag antitilt followers, lights, slings, etc.). We returned them to stock before turning them in. The modes were all personal gear we bought and brought from home.

The scrim is epic on that pack . I really like pack covers I think they are a must if nothing other than making them more weather resistant but the camouflage is a huge bonus if not a must.

[@TimberwolfCY]

For those trying to save some money, there's a setup known as the 'Hellcat' that you can Google that uses surplus MOLLE gear to replace the shoulder straps and hip belt. Will save an absolute ton of money. This also makes the shoulders adjustable for height, though as others have alluded to, if you're an 'average' height of 5'8" these are redundant (can speak from experience on this), however the MOLLE shoulders are still a huge improvement over the originals. Frame replacement you may or may not need of course. The Hellcat mods can be done on both the Med and Lrg ALICEs. I have a Large pack I've done the Hellcat stuff on, but nothing like all the extra pouches quite like this. My BOB is that pack, but being a T1 diabetic I have extra supplies I have in it that take up a solid chunk of space and weight that one of those large sustainment pouches would solve nicely for me. And I really need to get on the 2-quart canteen bus, those things are awesome. Thanks a ton for your work man, you're doing great. Sound was fine; there's no way around the noise when it comes to working with stuff like that IMO. I can tell your pacing regarding presentation is improving also. Full time job and doing YT as a hobby is time-consuming, so don't feel bad if you gotta take a break on occasion! Take care and thanks again

[@TimberwolfCY]

Oh and as others have voiced, curious to know what you'd load it with. Your weapon kit video helped me streamline and utilitize mine quite a bit!

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Thanks for watching!

[@sgwilsonmd]

What we need is for someone to make a bag to AILCE dimensions, fit to the metal frame with MOLLE straps that you can simply attach pouches without all the zip ties and 550 jury rigging. Great means of taking what you got and making it work.

[@gymtard]

Tactical assault gear already made that. Look it up TAG recon ruck

[@bannaxe7338]

Look up the recon ultra ruck. Comes in coyote, multicam, black, and OD green. Very pricey though it comes in at least 250 USD not including shipping depending on where you get it from. Theres also the blackhawk tactical SOF ruck though it still uses alice clips but does feature more pockets, those are a bit more expensive at anywhere from 200 to 600, as they are not in production anymore.

[@dennisnaffah8733]

Fire Force Gear USA has some pretty good molled ALICE rucksacks.

[@grenadespoon]

@@gymtard I had the Tag mountain ruck and if it’s similar, it was a large Alice size.

[@gymtard]

@@grenadespoon yeah they are based on the large alice. On version j St has more pockets on it with a removable lid i believe. Its been a while since ive seen one

Wow, ALICE pack, great memories and nightmares. I remember the day I switched to a Dana Terraplane X... I took my ALICE that I had cussed for years and unceremoniously slung it into a dumpster with a few choice words of good bye... now I wish I had kept it just for nostalgia. I am looking at an LBT Enhanced Warfighter JUmp Pack now and seeing your video of an ALICE with "upgrades" (didn't have that option ) and the price of yours compared to the LBT... hmmmm... makes me think twice.

I really hope your channel blows up! There's a lot of people who've not done this kind of work and whould be very unprepared for actual work. You're dropping real knowledge for the masses and young soilders. Keep it up! I got the ILBE to replace my army issued ruck and love it. Why do you choose the ALICE over the Marine issued?

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Just because the marine issue one is prone to breaking. The frame breaks under heavy loads over time, as well as the shoulder buckles on the top. They always tear off when you need them most, and you have to walk however far with all of your weight on one shoulder.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Thank you for watching!

[@Dogsoldier12B]

@TheGruntPerspective Thanks for the heads up. It's funny you mentioned the straps. I haven't had any issues but it's been a couple times when loaded down it seemed a bit fragile, but it's held up so I just figured it was me being paranoid. I'll start looking for a replacement.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

@@Dogsoldier12B can’t go wrong with a large alice, or malice pack if it’s in your budget

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

I swear that looked like a hay bale at first!

[@philippejoyal8065]

Very nice mods brother! Keep up the awesome content.

[@SoloRenegade]

creative. but the extra pouches and such feels like a lot of extra weight. feels like you put a lot of work into it, and I like the thinking. but I can't help but wonder how much better it would be if you removed the old stuff and just sewed new buckle straps on, and sewed the pouches right into place. eliminate the old attachments and extra layers of material, extra webbing, etc. being able to sew really opens up possibilities, and you can sew some pretty good stuff even if it doesn't look perfect. would definitely like to see a bit more on your camo cover and how you attached it to the ruck.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

While you’re not wrong, all the extra material you’re talking about probably adds up to 1 pound at maximum

[@SoloRenegade]

@@TheGruntPerspective yes, but it's not just about weight. it would be potentially more durable, more slick, more optimized, can replace all of the ALICE clips and such with whatever attachments you wanted for removable items, etc. The more things I start to fix by sewing, the more things I start to just think about sewing right from the start. What you're doing isn't wrong, but once you've gotten something into a config that works, it can benefit from being made better or more permanent (assuming it doesn't need to change from that config sometimes). I've modified my gear as you are too. And I've even done mods along these lines to military vehicles, and weapons. I made a mod to my rifle to fix an issue in Afghanistan using 550 cord, that I still use today on my personal rifles, as It works so well and I haven't found a better solution yet (noncritical issue). But sometimes the effort I put in would be far better spent sewing it than just jerry-rigging it. But by removing excess straps, zipties, buttons, webbing, redundant layers, optimizing pouches, and consolidating pouches (fewer larger ones as appropriate), the amount of extra savings can add up while resulting in a far simpler and less floppy pack.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

[@JEJAK5396]

Nice setup man! I did a similar mod on an ALICE Medium back in 2011. Didn’t end up adding any pouches to mine, just the buckle Mod, paint, and TAG Hip belt and shoulder straps. Got it all setup to use in Afghanistan and then I got put in a Mobile Platoon, the pack ended up staying in the FOB 98% of the deployment 🤦🏽‍♂️ Couple questions, Is there any reason you opted not to use MALICE Clips for the pouches? And, have you considered using smaller individual pieces of netting or scrim to each pouch/section of the pack in a way were each pouch is individually accessible, but still visually broken up?

[@TheGruntPerspective]

No particular reason for using alice clips instead of malice! On the big pouches I used malice clips cause that’s what I had laying around! And for the smaller ones I used alice clips because I didn’t have any short malice clips. And yes I have considered using smaller pieces but I choose to use the large piece so I have the capability to take it off of my ruck and bring it with me on patrol to plus up my individual concealment in something like an ambush or observation position!

[@legiopavornocturnus]

Hey man, this is probably the best SOP set up video I've ever seen. Being a prior 0351 section leader, it would have been awesome to have this kind of knowledge modeled for us. Quick question on the bungees, do you use any particular length that you know of for securing the isomat, the 2qt canteen carriers, etc? Semper fi brother.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Thank you for the support! As far as the bungee cords, I think all mot mine are about 3 feet long or so? I’m not sure, for the iso mat I have to wrap them twice so some shorter ones would probably work better for that

I have the grey ghost bar 5200 (sister company to tactical tailor and their version of the malice) same frame and straps, but I'll use that in colder months and swap it put with a medium alice during warmer months.

[@xusmico187]

CMC reading list has great reference on loads, march, & combat training. BUT COs wont read and learn. 6000cuin is just stupid. how much does the extra straps, buckles, weigh? extra big, fill it with crap you won't need. rigged my large alice to work w/o full frame, added 2 extra alice pack pockets , rigger made claymore pouch. aircraft first aid kit stiched on. had riggers make up spie rigs to keep rigged into 782 belt gear. wanter big so i would not have to dump entire pack. an early malice type circa 84. at the time we still teams. scrounged enought kit to outfit the 12 marines in the sub teams for fighting. sleep pads cut to add to straps, 782 belt. then the inspection kit for the remf inspections. the thing seems to always be pack everything you will need for year on your back, out for a week. when the line crossing WOs came into the teams, they began to destory the entire show.
