Alice pack substitute

I know I know, the scramble for halloween is on!

I was curious, just in case I can’t find one… is there anything that can be used as an alternative to the alice pack frame? Has anyone ever built their own out of pvc or something similar?

In a rush for the holidays I had considered just using some padding of some sort to keep the pack pushed away from my back… and get some green straps from a army surplus store.

Anybody have any other ideas?

have you checked the store out yet?

There’s still plenty of time to get one online…but act soon!

dude get them on ebay for $22 shipped. that’s what i did. they must have hundreds of them because they’re used.

Well thanks guys… I still have to check the local shops… I was just asking. It’s just something about me that I can’t avoid, I always have to ask, “is this the BEST way? or the ONLY way?”

just the way I am.

i used a camping back pack frame for packs a couple of years now…till I broke down and bought a alice frame. So if you need an alternative, that will work just fine
