I have taken an old US ARMY ALICE pack and modified it to the hilt. It has a sleeping bag compartment sewn into the bottom with a zipper entr. this sleeping bag compartment can collapse to the bottom so as the inside of the pack can carry larger items such as water jerrys or saterlite phones. it has two long pouches on either side to carry camle backs with their carriers, designed to carry 2lt bladders. the inside of the top of the pack has the normal radio pouch which i use to carry 2x 2lt south african water bottles and this keeps the weight closer to your body. I have attached a larger lid with a claymore pouch with a zipper opening which opens away from the pack to allow another person to reach in and deploy a claymore if req. at the front of the pack are another 6 pouches three top ones for first aid equipment rope and marking equipment such as cylume cord rope etc. the bottom three pouches are for food left for breackfast centre for lunch and the right for tea. The frame on either side where the bottom of the pack straps connect have two small pouches attached using cable ties, these pouches are designed to carry first aid dressings. The top inside of the pack I have a light day pack designed to carry mission essential equipment. The pack is made of a mixture of canvas and nylon. The camoflage pattern has been hand painted in an Australian disruptive pattern. It is a well set out pack for Reconnisance work. It can carry up to 5 days food, 12 lt of water communications equipment, varring sleeping equipment mainly targeting a tropical sub tropical climate.
