Bug out bag - Molle and Alice Pack Comparison

http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=116473 Basic description of a Large Molle, and medium Alice backpack.

The packs that were used for this video include:

Large MOLLE pack - digital camo, internal sleep system.
MOLLE with external sleep system - desert camo
Medium ALICE pack - this has been my main camping pack for about 14 - 16 years. This one is woodland camo.

Forum threads about the molle pack - http://www.survivalistboards.com/tags.php?tag=molle

One of the things that I really liked about the large molle is how much webbing it has. The pack also has webbing on the bottom of the pack to strap a sleeping bag, tent, tarp or anything else.

One of the things that I did not like about the large molle - it did not have a radio pouch inside the pack like the alice pack does. Nor does the pack have pouches on the outside of the pack. The plastic frame is also a draw back. Nor do I like having to use the pack with a frame - if the frame breaks your just out of luck.

The desert camo molle pack has very little webbing on it, no pouch on the outside and only one pouch on the outside of the pack.

The Medium Alice pack has 3 outside pouches - which are just the right size for storing rain gear and a 1 pound bottle of propane for a stove.

Good ol' classic *bitch kick* medium ALICE pack. haha had a laugh at that. I have never seen an actual internal sleep system MOLLE pack. People keep on complaining about the durability of the MOLLE frame, has that been a problem for you?

[TheMulticamfan]

As for prices, I saw ALICE packs for $32.88 on Fleet farms website under military surplus for a large one, but I saw 3 day MOLLE assault packs for $50- $200.

Is this Kip from Napoleon Dinomite?

Then add a oven and your right at home!

What brand/model number Large MOLLE pack is that. I am looking for one with the internal sleep system but it is hard to know what one to look for as descriptions in amazon.com and other websites dont tell you if it has a internal sleep system. I really like how the one you show has a compartment seperator that lets you access the main compartment from the bottom sleeping bag compartment. I need help finding the right model/brand. I want a quality military spec pack.

I have watched this and read alot of the postings on your boards and im still torn between the MOLLE II Standard pack or the large ALICE... then other bags keep popping up here and there. Ugh decisions decisons

i had tactical tailor modify the molle pack to fit the alice frame. i love it.

As for pockets inside the molle packs, there are radio pouches you can get and strap into the main compartment.

Newest ALICE pack shoulder straps are camo, thicker, and wider for more comfort. Tactical Taylor also makes shoulder and waist straps. There is an internal pouch you can get for the MOLLE rucks. It is the radio pouch. Modify your ALICE packs with FASTEX buckles to make getting into it easier. You can also have Tactical Tailor add extra pockets to your ALICE packs, their MALICE pack. You can't really use the large ALICE without a frame. No attachment points for the shoulder or waist straps.
