Mowskwoz's GB1 Pack Build

Equipment Proton Packs
1

Hey guys(and gals), I have been lurking for about a year now pulling together my base GB1 suit and getting ready to dive into a pack build. I recently started acquiring parts and I am closing in on the start of my GB 1 Proton Pack. I am hoping to finish the pack first before starting the wand. With a new job and three kids at home, it might take me a while. As long as I have it done in time for C2E2 next year, I’ll be happy.

Below are pics of what I have so far.

I have aluminum labels and an aluminum HGA on their way…I just need to order the rest of the aluminum parts.

Wish me luck!

Thanks Allen! I look forward to bustin’ with you at C2E2 next year.

And thanks for talking with me at C2E2 this year. It helped push me along with getting started.

Awesome collection. I hear you about the time to build. Since you have a shell and aren’t starting from scratch, if you can devote 1-2 hours a night after the little ones/wife go to bed you should have this done in no time.

If your doing a GB1 pack you should consider swapping out that kidney pad, the one you’re using looks like an LC2 pad to me.

All of the straps on the A.L.I.C.E. Pack will need replacing with LC-1 straps, not just the Kidney pad.

Dood! Totally! C2E2 is going to ROCK!

Yeah, I knew the kidney pad was not right. It will do for now until I find a replacement.

Are you sure? I thought my shoulder straps were LC-1.

shoulders are LC1 the kidney pad and belt aren’t. looks like you are off to a great start though :smiley:

Why would he need to replace all the straps?

My mistake, the shoulder straps are the right type (I didn’t spot the extra length of material above the quick-release on the right-hand shoulder strap).

But both the belt and Kidney Pad are incorrect.

Good luck Eric… looks like off to a good start.

What shell did you go with? I think I have made up my mind but was curious what way you went. I am going the same route you recommended, flight suit and other uniform parts already on the way for the “packless buster”. Will build the pack over the winter and have it ready to roll by MCCC.

Thanks David!

I went with the GBFans store pack and motherboard. It’s a great shell at a great price.

I hope mines good to go by MCCC next year too. Even better if it’s ready by C2E2.
