Awesome! my BOB is an Alice as well... Not the most comfortable pack but indestructable. One thing that makes these bags so much fun to put together is that you'll always be working on it. I's a never ending process of uprgading items, adding things you realize you need, removing things you realize you won't need, etc...
Good job! Great pics!
Thanks for taking the time to post!!!

did you try using the insert pictures feature? There's a toolbar above your post when editing it ( I think you need to go to advanced when editing a post you already made) and simply click on the picture icon which is to the right of the little globe

I like your map case. Can you tell us where you got it. Also, where did you get the term "shit tickets"? I haven't heard that word for a long time.

I have a Large ACU Molle II Rucksack with Sustainment Pouches. I bought it off of ebay for 55 bucks. I hate the ACU pattern, so I went and purchased some dark green DYE. It worked quite well. At least it doesn't glow in the dark anymore (LOL). I also bought an attachment bag for the front. I think it was on sale at sportsman guide. I put the dark green to it also. The DYE had a hard time taking to the pouch. I think it was becasue it was new. The Surplus army pack was older and a little more broken in. The Molle II ruck has 4000 cubic inches of space and 500 more with the Sustainment pouches attached to the sides. I researched for several months to find the most room for the best price and this was it.

The contents are pictured here. All the electronics are not kept in the bag. I keep them in a gutted microwave for potential EMP protection. If I need to move quickly, it will only take a minute or so to move them from the micro to the bag.

• 8 Topo maps of my area
• 3-4 days worth of food
• Proper multicam pants and shirt
• Israeli gas mask and new Micronel safety M-95 NBC CBR filter
• Cold weather stuff, extra socks t-shirts ect..

• 12 snares and more 550 cord
• Surplus poncho liner and poncho
• Extra plastic bags and some spam.. ( I hate spam)
• Tooth Brush and Paste
• Lots of little candles
• Some old surplus trip wire (good for about anything)
• Tryoxene (heat tabs)
• Chem lights and zip ties
• Wet stone
• Notebook and binos
• Battery free flashlight
• Some extra ammo
• One kick ass sewing kit from hell
• Paint strainer cloth for water filtration
• 3 small knives and a leatherman
• Wind up pocket watch - magnesium fire starting tool

I'm five miles from an air force base so are local thrift stores always have some supplies. That's where I got my .99 cent map case. I'm always going to them to look for new gear and I've been successful. As far a the term shit tickets, you have my old man to blame for that.
