I do, but what do I know.
Try finding a Claymore, a smoke grenade, a cleaning rod, a first aid kit, or your snivel gear inside a ruck with no pockets. Note the PALS webbing on the outside of the Kifaru rucks and the multitude of accessory pockets that they sell.
James is dead on the money. Most field soldiers would like to add MORE pockets to their ruck.
I wouldn't choose a Blackhawk product if I were serious though.
