USGI ALICE LBE backpack modification

[@LiveToSurvive]

Good to see you again. Congratulations on the new job, and the weight loss. Great idea with the pack and Y-harness.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks man. I am always playing around with stuff like this lol

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Excellent! Glad to see you back! Very cool kit design, the old school stuff just works!

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks man, I love the old school stuff. It is great for what we do...

[@paulyman345]

Nice add on to your belt rig Matt. Cheerz mate.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks! It works well...

M1967 H suspenders have snap hooks on back to connect to rings of butt pack or poncho wrap. If you watch sifi, Stargate had vests that have plastic buckles on top to attach packs on back.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Yes they do. They also have an adapter that you can buy if you want to convert later models to the M1967 configuration.

[@Zurgo-fl1kx]

@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Can you link the adapter?

[@karlo8093]

Nice pack modification Matt. I just figured out how to attach round water bottle carriers / cover to my LBE belt so I can carry up to a gallon of water very comfortably and still have my hands free while hiking etc. I also took your advise from a different video about the butt pack and now have one of those with a box inside it on my belt too. What I am REALLY interested about however, is just exactly HOW did you lose all the weight? What did you do because I need to do that too. It would sure make hiking a bit easier if I weighed a little less, know what I mean James Dean? Please advise. Thanks Matt.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks man! I would like to see how you attached the round bottles. I lost some weight doing intermittent fasting, just do a search for it on youtube. Easy breezy and you still eat what you want....

[@bartwalker474]

Thanks Matt. I bought two round Woodland Camo Molle II Nalgene cup canteen covers with the six inch, or so, Molle II straps and snap on them. I just placed the belt in the middle of them and pretended I know how to weave with the Molle II strap. It worked REALLY WELL to hold those cup covers onto the pistol belt. My setup is to have a fanny pack or buttpack in the back and have one round canteen cup cover on either side and in front I have the IFAK first aid pouch with the green plastic insert inside of it for rigidity and in front of that I did what you did and cut off the grenade side pouch flaps and I put in those tuna salad with cracker packets you get from Wally World. It's a really good setup and thanks for showing it to all of us out here in hikerville-land. You rock Dude! Been on any hikes lately? Found and gators in the backyards of any of those bank repo's? I hope not! Tag! You're it! Talk to me Matt! Bart

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Great idea and a nice system! Congrats on the new job Matt!

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks. I don't know about congrats, I would much rather still be retired but I would be kind of broke...lol

[@shovelhead8]

Great mod for stuff you already have. Renaissance Marine is big into modifications as well. Thank you for showing it to us.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

No problems man...

[@crypto_pinto2660]

I like the backpack idea but it doesn't seem like that zip tie will hold I've seen too many zip ties give way to not much weight

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Totally. You could easily do the same thing with some paracord....

[@mrwes100]

FloridaBoy Survival could you get a D ring in there?

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

@@mrwes100 It would have to be a pretty small guage D ring, but it would probably hold better than the zip tie...

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Great Mod, can even be expanded to work in many other scenarios as well. Love it !!! Awesome about your weight loss, congratulations 🎉

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

Thanks. Just shows how you can expand ALICE equipment to work with other stuff
