Im an old school trooper , 1/503PIR Air Mobile-Air Assault. We used to use a poly-pad, rolled then let loose to expand and unroll inside out rucks to give it some shape. It also was good for keeping frost and some water from rain off your gear inside the ruck. That trash can might pretty much do the same I guess. But poly pad adds flotation; and its will be a LOT more quieter.
New school here (A CO 1-179) Maybe it's just a change in terminology, but I'm not familiar with poly-pad. Is that just the old man term for a sleep mat?
I just seen his video last night! I went out and bought a 5 Litre plastic trash can and it fits perfect in my Savotta Jaakari S. It's so stupidly obvious it's brilliant
This looks like a GREAT idea. I just got back from a canoe/camping trip where I wished I had brought a bucket. This is going in my kit today! Thanks for the tip.
Saw the same video from Dave Canterbury and found my bucket at Walmart. I also made the pvc frame with under shelf to carry my dry bag of bedding materials. I upgraded the shoulder pads and the waist belt from next gen US gear. Its quite comfortable for my large frame!
Awesome mod man. I have a Turkish woodland pack. Same as the nato woodland pack. Basically a med Alice with 2 side pockets and 1 inside pocket. I'm gonna do the same but cut the bucket a little shorter to clear the inside pocket. Thanks for the video man
There is a shelf system for the alice frame. Once at camp you could remove the ruck itself and put the bucket/basket on the frame for a trapping set up and leave the ruck at camp
HEEEEEELLLLL YEAH. I watched the Dave Canterbury video as well and unfortunately I watched it about a month after I bought the 5.11 Rush 72 backpack. Great pack don't get me wrong...but what Dave pointed out that stuck with me..and that I actually found myself doing.. was trying to put every piece of gear in a special pocket, compartment, molle attachment, and what have you. The pack was heavy as hell and then when I went to find something I had to unzip and un-velcro every compartment and pocket just so I could remember where shit was. Tedious and just not practical for what I had envisioned in my plan. At the time it was..but thankfully I learned a better way. This system that Dave taught us is just plain efficient. Plus..a new/used lg alice pack and a frame is like a third of what I paid for the 5.11. I searched all over the web for a trash container that would fit in my soon to be new backpack system..and I found it here. Thanks. Subbed.
Awesome man. I looked all over to find a can to fit the medium pack and finally found it at Target. Dave uses the large pack in his video which is easier to find a can for.
This trash can idea is a solid inspiration for my motorcycle sissy bar with a conventional pack. 1987: I acquired a 3- gallon plastic frosting bucket with lid from a bakery (free). Slid it into my ALICE pack. Made a useful seat at bivouacs. Doubled as water bucket, washing machine, etc. When it wore out. Replaced it with a pickle bucket ( green) . Same size bucket with lid is at Lowe’s for under $10. 😊
Update: kitty litter bucket with a hinged lid fit in my ALICE pack. Added piece of foam pad creates a camp stool and water-resistant storage. Thanks again for this great video that springboarded a hack of hack.
This is a good idea if you are carrying light weight items only, the only problem is with putting a trashcan inside the ruck for structure, you make it harder to properly load the pack correctly to distribute the weight properly for a heavy ruck. When loading the Alice, the entire pack is filled with our lightest, fluffiest gear, which gives it its structure. The radio sleeve located on the back wall of the pack is where you want to put your heaviest items at. This puts the weight of the ruck tight against your back and up high on your shoulders where it is meant to be. This way the ruck doesn’t feel like it is dragging behind you or pulling back on your shoulders (as long as you are also wearing the waist belt and chest strap). We then place our hydration bladder on top of the ruck under the flap to hold it secure with the top flap. If we are carrying additional heavy gear like an M-60, etc, it would be strapped down on top of the ruck over the flap behind your head. This way as you go to walk up a hill as you lean forward slightly, it causes all the weight to transfer right above your hips for easy carrying.
the only think that comes to mind is to be able to lift it, i thought about fitting handles to it wit a 1/2" rope, it will not add much weight but it will give you a better way to carry the bucket if you need to carrie something heavi or to lift it out of a water stream if you need to, hope you find this idea useful, thanks for the tip on this mod, is great....
Great Idea, I'm going to have to try that. Between the Trash Can and the Ammo Can I have attached to the bottom of my Alice it will make things even more accessible.
FloridaBoy Survival Ranger Rick books; roll your G.I. sleep mat vertically inside the main pocket. part of it will stick out but it's squishy,so. of course one could trim it up.
I have the large pack so I'm gonna see if I can find that can. Maybe since it's the large one I won't have to cut off the top but we'll see. I also am gonna put a shelf on the bottom wider than the standard cargo shelf so the bottom of the pack with trash can in it can rest on the shelf. Great vid!
If you have the large pack then I think a standard trash can will work fine. The medium is a little smaller thats why I had such a hard time finding one that would fit.
I have an Alice pack with no frame that I like to take on hikes, camping, etc. I don’t like the way it looks when I wear it and it’s not full(it bunches up). I will start looking for something similar immediately, thanks a lot for the video!
PACKAGE your items separately in quart and gallon size ziplock bags, very good water proofing, I have a pair of od green pants in a gallon ziplock, socks and tp in another, a few t shirts in another, etc. No noise from ziplocks in a plastic trash can.
Looks like a good ides, what i want to know is how much that little trash can cost, being a senior and out of work got to watch where my money goes, That sis in a medium Alice right wonder if i will need a bigger one for a large
This mod can also be done on rucksack and I use it for water and preserving meat which I add along a foil. I get 2 buckets of different sizes and fit them both together. It can be 1 plastic and 1 metal for different purposes.
I would cut it down maybe around half of that. Drill holes in it, and make paracord, or rope handles. And I'm looking for a more sturdy can (if possible). Other than that, I don't see it as useful for carrying water. That could hold water, yeah. But I'd much rather carry a half bucket to camp
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival yep. I know. I'll let you know when I do. It more than likely won't be a trash can. Probably storage container or something
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival ok.. Few days later. I found it!! Its a Sterilite trash can. I found it at Goodwill. And this thing is super sturdy. Its not as thin as the other ones I've seen. I've measured up to 3 gallons. And have a chalk line marked around. Debating on what to start cutting it with. I'm going to use some of the excess material from the top, to reinforce where I put the rope handle.
Can you put the barcode number up or a picture of it so I could search to get that same size trashcan? Also, the color is a good neutral, not a white trashcan.
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Holes would defeat the purpose of using it as a bucket. A rain cover for inclement weather (inexpensive and lite weight) would keep moisture out of the pack (if your not wearing a poncho) and things would stay dry.
i guess U could plug the holes with a stick if U needed 2 use it 4 water,, or carry a small bolt & 2 fender washers with a peice of inner tube cut 2 the same size as yer fender washers 2 seal it up
........you can get a frame ledge that gives the frame an " L " posture.....the can adds more weight and limits the stuff - ability of the pack.....just a thought , Grizz
I know about the frame ledge and may get one. The can probably weighs the same as the ledge and does not limit anything, at least on mine. Plus it is removable when you get to camp for a water container, etc. that the frame ledge cannot do.
Agreed. Mine actually weighs 1.2lb and I have since added a rope handle on each side for carrying. In a pack like the ALICE you really can't even notice the extra weight, and it allows you to distribute the load better also. I think the trade off is definitely there....
FloridaBoy Bushcraft & Survival .......I rucked them in the Army , love the lge. I have 4 of them.......but recently found the Marine Corps FILBE , which will work on an Alice frame , a gear swallower , thicker than nylon , the flap pocket is larger than the Alice , Molle straps abound and sits more straight up/down......I have 3 ,,,,,,,,check one out 25-32 bucks surplus .
Hey Matt, I'm seeing several problems with this right away. I'll Grant that would be great for unwieldy, hard items with sharp corners, but other than that I honestly don't see the point. What if you take a dunk in any water, let alone a fast moving source like a river or a coast line, and it takes a while to get out? There's drain holes in military gear for a reason. Now you're tired, maybe exhausted and there's a whole lot of water weight trapped on your back, making it a whole lot harder to crawl out to safety. I'll say the same thing that I posted on your military butt pack video; a plastic container with an airtight lid would be a much better choice. I carried a square Tupperware one in my musette bag as a kid in the dessert country. Took up half my bag and left half free for other stuff. Jmho.
Bonjour. Je viens de recevoir mon sac Alice Pack et il est super. Il y a deux jours je tombe sur ta chaîne ou tu donnes un tas d'astuces pour l'améliorer, merci à toi. A bientôt FloridaBoy Survival.
Thanks. I have not tried it without the frame. I have a couple of smaller packs that i can use if I don't want a frame. I use this one for my multiple day trips.
It SUCKS. We were issued med alice at Benning with no frame. Better watch how you pack it cause you will feel everything against your back and no ventilation between you and pack. Just try it for 15 mile's in full gear. Tell ya something else, just because you have more room don't mean it has to be full, carry nothing ya don't have to have! Water and ammo weigh a shit ton, and it is hard to carry enough H2O!
I was considering exactly this mod to my pack (got it from Canterbury as well), but now I don't have to figure out what fits or doesn't 👍 Extra point on this mod (also from Canterbury): make it a light color like orange or white so you can see inside your pack. The best bonus would be a bucket that can support my fat ass...
Tentara indonesia dari dulu pakai jerigen. Sebagai penguat konstruksi dari alice pack, karena di indonesia tidak berbingkai. Maka tentara indonesia sudah memakai ide ini sejak tahun 1970.
Why you use a 2mm. Rod. In U shape. Put the ends at the back bottom. At a 45 d up to the front top. Make 90 d along the front 90 d. Down to the back. Round the ends. So don't poke throw the pack. Top you can. Sew or wire in. Hold the bag open light weight mod. Save 1 1/2 lb. Kick the bucket

It does! There are lots of uses for it
Why is everybody afraid to point out the most obvious use?

Yes I do, I have already done that after this video...
Nice, useful mod. I have the same Alice with frame. I'm going to give it a try! Thanks for your video
You will be surprised at how much more room that you will have and how much more stuff that you can get in your pack.
Well done sir, I too have a medium Alice pack and sometimes it can be a fight to use.
Thanks! I like the bucket, it helps keep everything in one place...
Great Idea, I'm going to have to try that. Between the Trash Can and the Ammo Can I have attached to the bottom of my Alice it will make things even more accessible.
Thanks! The bucket works good, it really helps you get more stuff into the pack...
Pretty nice idea! Never thought of this option before. Thx! ✌️👍
Glad to help
use to use the inner flap from C ration case. MRE case works too. makes pack stand up and holds it open,+ bottom will still expand.
Cool. Really anything that will hold the pack open helps...
FloridaBoy Survival Ranger Rick books; roll your G.I. sleep mat vertically inside the main pocket. part of it will stick out but it's squishy,so. of course one could trim it up.

If you have the large pack then I think a standard trash can will work fine. The medium is a little smaller thats why I had such a hard time finding one that would fit.
That’s a great idea. May try this in my large Alice
Go for it! It works great
i just read canterbury's book explaining this!! awesome
Thanks. It really works out pretty well...
You only need to put two hand holes into it so you could easily carry your water or , get the Alice carrier shelve for carrying the can only.
I added those later
I have an Alice pack with no frame that I like to take on hikes, camping, etc. I don’t like the way it looks when I wear it and it’s not full(it bunches up). I will start looking for something similar immediately, thanks a lot for the video!
Try the MOLLE II Assault Pack
Good ideal, might add a little more weight, but it will make it harder to poke a hole through the alice pack.
In a pack like this the small added weight is not an issue. It really helps keep your gear together...
Very cool I wonder if you can do this with a molly pack- I may try it.
I bet you could. Just measure the top and bottom and go trash can shopping lol
Genius idea, but I feel like there will be a lot of noise from things clanging against the plastic. I love the dual use of a water fetcher though
Actually, if you pack it right there is no sound at all. I thought the same thing when I first did it but you would be surprised...
PACKAGE your items separately in quart and gallon size ziplock bags, very good water proofing, I have a pair of od green pants in a gallon ziplock, socks and tp in another, a few t shirts in another, etc. No noise from ziplocks in a plastic trash can.
In addition to what others said, you could get thin felt or some other fabric and drop it in (or even stitch it to fit) and it would deaden the sound.
Looks like a good ides, what i want to know is how much that little trash can cost, being a senior and out of work got to watch where my money goes, That sis in a medium Alice right wonder if i will need a bigger one for a large
It is pretty cheap, about $10. You can use a larger can with the large pack
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Any Ide what size/ Info I can find is the pack is 22x20x19
This mod can also be done on rucksack and I use it for water and preserving meat which I add along a foil. I get 2 buckets of different sizes and fit them both together. It can be 1 plastic and 1 metal for different purposes.
Sure can, all you have to do is find the right sized container to go inside the pack...
To help pull it out cut a couple of hand slots or thumb holes to hold on to. May need to wear gloves to get it out.
I have actually attached a rope grab handle on each side since I made this video and they work great...
Iam gonna do this for my large alice pack but iam gonna rivet/attach a pair of those rubber kayak handles to mine.
Old video but helpful! Awesome man!
Thanks! I still have the pack and the bucket...
What about wrapping the top of that bucket with tape to protect it from catching or ripping
You could do that but I have not had any issues with it at all...
Fantastic!!!!!! Walmart here I come.
It really works pretty well!

謝謝！ 試一試，看看它是如何工作的......
it's all fun and games until someone accidentally throws their trash in there at camp when you're not looking 😂
Which will most likely happen lol
Drill a couple holes to make you able to put a paracord handle on the trash can.
I actually did that after the fact...
everytime I go to the woods, I wished I had a bucket for one reason or another but carrying one is not an option. well, this would work great.
It accomplished 2 things at once. Helps keep your pack open and provides a bucket!
How much does the tub weigh after it’s cut?
Very little...
Do you think you should drill any holes in it for drainage?
I thought about that too...however I do not use it in a wet situation and it would be easy enough to make them if I needed them with my knife.
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Holes would defeat the purpose of using it as a bucket. A rain cover for inclement weather (inexpensive and lite weight) would keep moisture out of the pack (if your not wearing a poncho) and things would stay dry.

I watched your video again I think the issue is mine is completely rectangular to bottom square corners you have two rounded corners
It is hard to find something that will fit. I looked around for quite a while...
JERRY CANs are the perfect thing
I cut mine upside down so I've also got a makeshift shower / handwashing bin

can you drill some holes in the top part you cut off and attach to the bottom frame to make a base so the pack stands on its own?
You could do that...

Why you use a 2mm. Rod. In U shape. Put the ends at the back bottom. At a 45 d up to the front top. Make 90 d along the front 90 d. Down to the back. Round the ends. So don't poke throw the pack. Top you can. Sew or wire in. Hold the bag open light weight mod. Save 1 1/2 lb. Kick the bucket
Good idea. It would be hard to carry water, firewood, supplies, etc. with a wire frame though...
Just be careful it doesn’t fill with water in the rain.
I dont hike in the rain lol
8 1/2 x 11 1/2 will not fit in my medium Alice
I guess there are some variations in the pack size...
Those who gave thumbs down are guys who sit to pee..
Lol...that was my thinking exactly
The first time you cross a stream you will drown.
sean small what do you mean?
If you get filled with water that will weigh enough to take you under.
