After looking at my pack belt today it finally hit me: am I using the “right” belt for my alice frame? I can’t help but feel that it’s just a bit thicker than what I need. I’m referring to the strap that goes around my waist.
Any advice/suggestions?
you look a bit like quentin tarantino in that pic
youre right Kevin, your alice pack “waist strap” is not correct to either film.
the link below will tell you everything you need to know about the alice pack frames and straps used in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2

Also, an alternative to buying a new kidney pad/waist straps is you can modify what you already have to have the buckles from GB2. I had a very hard time finding the LC-2 waist strap they use in GB2. I have an ALICE pack that had the same buckle that you currently have and i hated it. So what I did was I purchased one of these:
From a surplus store near me for $7.
And I removed the buckle from it and put it on my ALICE pack’s kidney pads:
It isn’t completely screen accurate BUT its way better then that crappy black buckle that was one it to begin with. So, as a cheap last resort, you could also try this.
Thanks a million guys.
I have some big ass plastic 3 prong clip, totally not accurate. Good idea with the strap there mburkit
