“Surprise cock fags!”
HAPPY COLD WAR WARRIOR DAY
View attachment 102086
Saint Alice’s day isn’t until the 15th of June, but what the heck.
Saint Alice is the patron of the blind and paralysed.
Make of that what you will.

IIFS basic set up of vest, dressing pouch, belt, 2x canteen pouches and the field training pack.
View attachment 102581
It’s actually a fairly comfortable set up.
The IIFS version field training pack/butt pack is slightly different to the M1956 and ALICE models.
View attachment 102582
The butt pack can be attached using the rear vest belt fittings.
1) The long upper straps thread through the vest D-ring first
2) THEN through the D-ring on the pack
3) and finally through the adjuster on on the pack to secure it
The pack can be fitted higher up using ALICE clips.
The straps on the top and bottom of the pack will hold items like poncho liners and there are ALICE loops on the sides.

The butt pack is a single water resistant compartment with a drain grommet and expanding snow collar with draw cord.

The CFP-90 Combat Field Pack 1990 (ish). This is the US issue “Bergen” for the end of the Cold War and part of the IIFS kit.
My thanks to Messers Pie & Hatchet, of the legal firm Hatchet, Pie & Sausage.

The other side but not the sides.
The Carry Fucking Plenty is a two part pack system. The above is the main 110L, 70lbs+ capability main bag. The add on assault pack will be below.
For scale the pack pictured is holding two full military winter sleeps uncompressed.
This one is the Gen 2 Specialty Defense model and comes in ever fashionable US Woodland.
Features:
Ajustable back system with aluminium stays and padded hip and shoulder straps. A step up from the green tick but care is needed to avoid breaking the black plastic Y-yoke.
Lower compartment extends up into the pack (the internal shelf can be opened) that will hold the full MSS.
Main compartment with radio slot, snow collar and hydration/comms ports.
Map pocket in lid.
Pass through slots on the sides for skis/antenna’s/long thin things.
Right hand side long sustainment pocket. Left hand side two shorter utility pouches. Empty in the photos above, full below. Drawcord and compression straps on these pockets.
View attachment 110694View attachment 110695
Three rows of ALICE/molle compatible webbing. And ice axe loops.
The CFP-90 is a great pack. It never fully replaced ALICE and was eclipsed quite quickly by the first issue of molle.
By all accounts a better carry than and Alice frame but not as modular as either it or the later molle offerings.
Essentially it was retired for being too good. US troops just don’t TAB 100 miles with a ton of gear. They have cruise missies and helicopters.?

The CFP-90 Patrol pack.
On the first generation of Lowe Alpine packs this was design to sit above the main bag lid.
It tended to ride forward and push the wears head/helmet down. The main change on the gen two was to move “docked” position to the back.
View attachment 110724
This is a simple frameless bag. As wide as it is deep with basic shoulder straps. Pretty much square and intended to sit above belt line. It has a draw cord on the outside to cinch the edge in a bit.
View attachment 110719
The main pocket is zip closure with a double external flap. Inside has a slot with a thin foam pad and straps to hold a radio, antenna port on the left top.
View attachment 110715
The outside pocket is big and will easy log hold several complete MRE packs or wet weather gear. It has a draw cord and buckle secured lid.
View attachment 110718
The patrol pack is a very simple item and relatively, for a military bag, quite light. It does give you enough capacity for a day hike with guns.

Because you can never have enough US Woodland and ALICE!
Greetings from the 55th!
I've attached some pictures of our team from the Filmsim event - Red Mist 4: Operation Hirta.
Most of the team are running the LBV88 vest along with a standard ALICE belt set-up and US Woodland!
Hope you like.
Cheers
