I acquired 1 yard of Taiwan made Woodland 420D Nylon pack cloth off Ebay; and went about measuring, making pattern, and then sewn up this nifty 25L pack bag that attaches to an old Outdoors Products copy of the 1980s Coleman Peak 1 Small Frame; since MOLLE suspension attaches to this frame as if it was made for it
Specs; about 25 liters; 20" tall, 13" wide, 6" deep.
MOLLE and ALICE webbing on lower sides and bottom for gear
axe and gun loops on the bottom edges; can hold both (one on each side)
ITW Nexus plastic hardware, and USGI metal hardware (3-bar loops for frame attachments)
YKK #5 zipper with dual pulls; likely add paracord pulls to them.
The fabric is a bit bright in sunlight; but looks decent in shade... Not as brown dominant as the USGI ALICE butt pack, or as dark toned as the other USGI gear shown here
In shade; showing the exterior.
Sidewise view; showing the MOLLE and ALICE webbing, Axe/gun loop and Fastex buckle for compression. Probably will shorten the loop to better fit things.
quite dark shot here, but the axe is shown here double looped, with the upper compression strap being used to hold it in place.
View of the suspension side, USGI MOLLE II rucksack suspension and belt. You can see the 4 black tri-bar loops being used to connect the bag at the top; with green webbing. On the bottom corners are the Ladder Lock buckles and straps for lower frame attachments.
View of the bottom; 3 rows of MOLLE, 1 row of ALICE, for attaching gear with tie down straps, or MOLLE pouches, or ALICE pouches/bags/butt pack.
