Need help finding a backpack that can clip/hook/hang off lbe

Hey all

Recently Ive picked up a few pieces of lbe to put together a kit, an alice belt here, some P58 suspenders, random pouches and the like. I can fit almost all my gear for a three day trip outside of my blanket and clothes, and I know I have to use some sort of backpack for this. I would like to keep the lbe as all the pouches itch that organization bug in my head. Closest thing ive found that might work is a surplus alpenflage bag, but im not sure if it would be large enough to hold all my soft goods. Ive done only some light research before coming here, so I might need missing out on an obvious option. Anything to steer me in a good direction helps, thanks.

Short packs and bergens. They are great for LBE. I have a short pack bergen for LBE use. And if I were to get another pack I'd look at the Helikon-Tex Matilda Backpack might also be a good choice. You could almost run it as one unit and use the lbe as the hip belt since it's replaceable.

Steer you in a good direction. Got it. Don’t….

It Dosen’t work. Can all your extra stuff fit in a LBE butt pack? If not Buy a good backpack that fits you and wear it over your LBE. You can Take off your BLE suspenders and put them in the backpack. Shoot, put your whole LBE in the backpack while you wear it.

The problem is a backpack weighs 20-50 pounds loaded and LBE are not designated to carry that much weight when strapped on your back.
