I have been using the medium alice for a few years now. They are indestructable, just not any creature comforts. I use the alice for my bug out bags and got tired of emptying them if i need a pack. This is where the cfp comes in. Im anxious to see how it works for me. They are obscure, to say the least. I just bought one of these packs on ebay.

It was missing the supports, screws for the back triangle connection, and the plates to secure it. Fixed it with flat aluminum bar stock from Lowe's, drilled both plates and tapped one for screws. Used Plastic Dip to coat the ends of the bar stock to protect the pack and now I have 2 packs. This is a wonderful pack and in a way I would love to get my hands on the patrol pack even thou I hear it is not worth it. Just want to see if I can make it work or improve upon it.

I had to do a lot from the school of hard-knocks many years ago, but this format makes instructional reference a breeze. Good work and great photos. many kudos.

I was at a gun show and bought a bayonet that iI thought was pretty cool. After some research on it I have found out that I have either a East German or a Yugoslavian Kalashnikov bayonet. Anyways I thought it was a very cool knife. Now I just have to buy a Kalashnikov. I actually bought one of these, I think. I was at a gun show and bought a bayonet that iI thought was pretty cool.

You have to add the chest straps on almost any pack for anti slipping and comfort. I tried on of these CPF90 packs (USMC) and it was great. Primary complaint I had with ALICE Large was the aluminum external frame always loosens or comes apart every few years and requires replacement. The sleeping bag was ALWAYS a problem with any ALICE pack. The new 90 takes care of both of those problems. I always disliked civilian packs because the tend to rise up way behind the head, I prefer my packs to top off at the shoulder level. This new pack is a keeper.

Sort of a quick release since the hook isn't a closed loop. These AKM bayonets are mounted upside down on the rifle. It's more of a wrist strap than anything. I have an EG one too but it has the rubber insulated scabbard grip. It came pretty sharp with a factory ground edge.
