With the very best wishes from Sovet Civil Defence 😉
Cloud-looking material in the center – cotton wool.
Can be washed, ironed and re-used.
Again, sorry for long not posting. Sure wait for some news.
Non-standard wide PALs
Sometimes I see modular platforms which include PALs loops wider than standard. It’s obviously GoRuck (1.9-2″ wide) and discontinued BOGear products (no info).
I’ve always wondered if it is rational in terms of convenience. One day I tried to figure the most versatile PALs loop width with aim to attach any pouches centered – with even and odd number of loops on them.
Surprisingly, the needed width is 2,625″ – 1,75 times wide than standard 1,5″ wide PALs loop.
Velcro on PALs placement – quick and dirty prototype
Just made a prototype photos for EDCforums member:
1: clear PALs
2: Hook strip (coyote) under the PALs, ruler over the strip
3: Loop strip (white) begins to sneak into PALs
4: Ruler removed, hook&loop done
5: Patch attached
Bible citation morale patch – done
Thanks 144:1 for inspiration. Sorry if offended.
VAC, versatile attachment cell
The necessity for a method to attach standard buckles for a PALs platform is obvious to me. So I’ve played with an idea to combine G-hook and T-shape adapter in one accessory unit.
Sorry for crappy pics, as usual.
Simply put, it is a wrapper around PALs loop, which is fastened with DTMF closure.

PCB, Pack Complementary Board – concept, prototype, thoughts
Had a boatload of things to take care of. Showing some beta-version.
Widely known pack inserts, or organisational boards, have variuous features, so I want to make one to be suited to my specific needs.
I want to have a possibilities:
- hold A4 papers in the flat pocket
- attach modular pouches to the front PALs
- put rigid insert
- (later) have a compatibility with Tom Bihn “Rails” system, Matroskya and TAD attachments
Here is a prototype made from (s)crap materials, as clothing fabrics. So, it has terrible sagging on the top of open pocket due to the weight of pouch with thermos.
My plan is to make V-shaped entrance to flat pocket in the next prototype, so pocket wouldn’t sag.
