  • Sponsored by Flex Seal®, an update to the quick & easy ALICE pack lid repair video!
    In my first video I demonstrated a quick and easy way to repair an old deteriorated ALICE pack lid using Flex Seal®. Since that time I have used my ALICE pack extensively and I wanted to give you guys an update as to how the Flex Seal is holding up on the pack lid. Additionally, this update video is sponsored by Flex Seal so they hooked me up with some additional cans in some new tactical colors that I'm going to try out on the three exterior pocket lids of the pack.
    If your interested in the different colored Flex Seal cans, they're only available on their website: www.flexsealpr...
    Thanks for watching!

    Yeah, brown is definitely the way to go the green is just too bright and the almond is too. Maybe you could like layer the almond with some brown and it wouldn't look so bad like with a camo pattern but that's too much work. Nice vid.

      @panzershock441 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Here in BC, Canada right around this time the vegetation is so lush and green that I think it would work great. But it would definately only be perfect around 5 months of the year. Maybe some parts of the US where you get good amounts of rain and sunshine during spring and summer, regions you might label as temperate rainforest, it might work quite nicely.

    That was really nice of them. I drive trucks these days after leaving the Navy and flex seal is a friend out here. Best thing I did with it was coat the bottom of my big drink mug. It doesn’t skid around and it actually keeps my drinks from transferring heat from the floor board

    Brent - Watching your video last year, I re-sealed the top of two of my ALICE rucks with black Flex Seal. Man, I really like that brown! I had no idea that was even an option. Plus, I hadn't thought about sealing the external pocket lids. Looks like I have another project. Fun stuff. Thanks.

    • @Brent0331

    I was only able to pick from black or grey locally that I could find, so I went with grey. It’s kinda light colored but it’s on the inside of my ALICE pack lid and the inside of my butt pack. So far I’m very pleased with the result. Thanks for sharing the idea!

    That tan might work good for similar repairs on a pack which is in some desert tan colors or desert camo colors. The green is nice, but too bright. Maybe would be great if you wanna fix your favorite garden hose with it because you can't find a new one like it or the newer ones just suck.
    Maybe it might help if you have some sorta signal green colored piece of kit that has lost water repellency, like a goretex-like green police or mountain rescue jacket or smth similar...
    Wish I could find similar handy products like this on the other side of the planet... you can really find a good deal of use for these sprays.

    Watched both videos, great content. I ended up using clear flexible seal from Gorilla Glue and the pack lid looks brand new. There were a couple small holes that I used clear Gear-Aid tape over them before sealing the lid. While these colors are pretty awesome clear is perfect for keeping them looking old school.

  • @robertmosher7418
    @robertmosher7418 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use the flex Seal in the paint can as I find I can get a more even layer. It's not like paint were if you make a mistake it will show or will also have brush marks.
    The only thing I can say is that with the rubber on things it will not allow sliding of things in and out of quite as easily. But, that's a very small price to pay for having a dry pair of socks or a ruck full of wet items adding weight.
    With the rubber seal grabbing on to things, I will give you a word of advice. Any bag that you apply the stuff to the outside of will not slide across any surface...like say the back of the truck. When you unload other bags you can grab ahold of them by a handle and pull them towards you and they slide across the surface and assist you gaining leverage to move the bag. With flex Seal you must lift the bag up to move it.
    Of course it would not work if that was the intended outcome.
    LOL

  • @kurtbaier6122
    @kurtbaier6122 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice need to square away Some of my ALICE gear. I may try it on my buttpack. All my tac gear has been spray painted with rust oleum dark brown krypton tan and a semi gloss medium brown. Browns work all seasons here in the mountains of Virginia and gives me imho a non military look as a civilian now. Did my large ALICE pack in browns but the paint doesn’t stick as well. Lot of touch up. If I remember right you did the same before you deployed to Iraq and all the paint was gone at the end of your tour. I over lay the colors till it matches the leaf duff. Looks good contrasted with civy clothes. As you know surplus and new ALICE pouches do not have a consistent green color and MOLLE is desert colors shock is to bright. I run a condor tac belt with a mix of MOLLE pouches and ALICE pouches held by zip ties. I sewed up my own front chest rig/ dynema plate carrier. Luv your channel. I was a Sgt in the 1970s. Your cammo and other vids KA. Although my back has had surgery I keep my carrying weight low and distributed evenly. At 67 yo I ruck 30 lbs at 3 mph up and down two big hills over each mile. Trying to keep in the fight. I’ve been using a SOL double sized Mylar heat sheet that is bonded to plastic less noisy and have put clear packaging tape in critical attachment points when safety pinning it to a woobie. It pluses up the temp rating and improves it as a expedient shelter.

    Great idea. If you turned the pocket liners inside out, and sprayed them, would it remove/cover up the stink? Thanks

    Now you can go to the cloth store and have them cut you a piece of camo for a pack cover. Flex seal the non camo side. Add bungie cords or paracord around the perimeter. Waterproof pack cover. 🤔

    Great vid and a great way to extend the life of the pack. I almost mistook the ALICE pack for the Tropica Rucksack as the colours matches that very closely.

    Right, I did the same thing to my M-1945 sleeping bag case, and some of my canvas tarps.
    Yeah... it adds weight, but increases the durability by far.

    I love the Flex Seal idea, I wanted to ask, did you go right over the old rubber on the lid? Did you remove any of the old before applying, If so, How did you do it other than letting it wear out naturally.. I have a waterproof bag and Alice I would like to do .

    Painted some trouble spots on a boat bottom with black flex seal . It's not leaking any now . It has a sticky rubbery feel to it and paint will definitely not stick to it and neither will primer . Slides in and out of the truck with no problem , but wouldn't recommend coating the entire bottom . Just hit the necessary places . It's pretty tough too .

    About time flex seal came out with other colors just wish that they were tactical colors
    The brown is ok the green no a olive drab would be great .
    Flex seal is the best

  • @tsoliot5913

  • @wranglerman1205
    @wranglerman1205 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The green is a little bright but the brown and tan are cool. If I could find it I’d buy it ! Did they say these are special order or available soon everywhere ?

  • @jeffwelsh1185
    @jeffwelsh1185 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Devil Dog,
    Have you tried turning the Alice pack inside out and spraying the inside of the main compartment, if so, how did it work out for that? Or do you prefer to just use the willy peter bag to water proof your gear inside the pack.
    Great videos, great content.
    Semper fi brother

  • @jeepnicc
    @jeepnicc 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool vid Brent. Thanks for the update. Sure would be great if you could get Flex Seal to make a matte O.D. green. I'd buy a case of that stuff!!

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, hopefully one day.

  • @jeffwelsh1185
    @jeffwelsh1185 ปีที่แล้ว

    Where can the brown, green, and tan flex seal be sourced from? I have checked Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, Walmart, and any other store that Carrie’s hardware or home improvement items. The only flex seal
    I can find is white, clear, and black.
    Guess I can just use clear and paint it green.
    Have you tried using it on the waterproofing on the back side of the USGI Poncho’s? I have an old OD Green poncho that all the rubber water proofing has come off and will probably try the product on it, just wondered if you had tried it and how it worked out.
    Enjoy all your videos and love the content. Keep it up Devil Dog!

Thank you for the Heads up on the Flex Seal Devil Dog I have an Old Alice Pack that I have owned for over 25 years now and has gone with me everywhere it has lasted longer than the Pack that I was Issued by the Navy back in '05 and only lasted one deployment. I have been wondering what I could do to make the cover water repellent again that this looks GREAT will be going out to my local wallyworld tomorrow to get some FLex Seal.

    • @3433-k6c

      I just bought a surplus one that had mold growing in it and it stank like a mf. If you have this issue, soak it in a bucket with water and 2-3 cups of vinegar to kill the smell. (Let it sit in the mixture overnight).Afterwords, take it out and wash it in your washing machine with detergent. According to other people, do not use bleach. Doesn't mix with nylon. Don't throw it in the dryer afterwords, let it hang dry. Using the washing machine is great for dirt/grime or if you want to wash the vinegar smell out. Good luck.

    I have used my home brew bees wax/mink oil/pitch to water proof hats like straw cowboy hats, for years...I will have to give the brown and tan a try. Looks awesome!
    Think I will try the brown on one of my old oilskin drover coats... So many possibilities!
    Would like to see an FDE version.

    The ol’ ALICE pack. I’ve got a couple still. I’ve got a smaller ALICE pack in Woodland and somewhere I have a Large. I watched a YT video the other day about a frame upgrade. The video was kinda crappy but it’s an excellent concept. Have you seen this new frame mod? I can chase down the name of the product if needed. As always an excellent video brother.

    It looks like something i want to do with my alicepack. Would it be an idea to do the entire inside of the pack too? Its probably a good idea, it wasnt done originally because its more expensive i suspect.

  • @bp93yj

    Brown is definitely the best of the three. Looks a bit shiny but maybe it will dull out when fully cured.
    FLEX SEAL if you can use true camo colors your product would be very useful.
