The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

As far as I can tell it is a m1956 butt pack was a back pack and the side pack was a variant one.

The Alice system did not come into play until the mid 70s so most likely the m1961 designs were probably used as a base.

The video is chock full of historical information and provides the names of all the various pieces so close looking surplus items can be more easily located.
