Not sure how much humping you have done at age 22, Fonzy, but I was sweating under an ALICE pack for almost ten years before you were born. I have carried ruck loads from Nerf to 145 lbs. in the bush.
I do not have the capacity of an ALICE Medium or Large handy, but the Kifaru had 60-90 pounds when I was testing it out, it would have carried more with no problem. Did you read my description of what I put in it? try stuffing three 500 rd. cases of .45ACP ammo and two sleeping bags in an assault pack. I would certainly call it a mid-sized pack (like the ALICE) rather than an assault pack. It has an internal frame and holds over 65 liters (4,000 cubic Inches), I suspect that is more than a Medium ALICE and probably more than the Large as well. Kifaru makes one pack which is slightly larger, at 4200 c.i. and one that is a lot bigger at 7500 c.i. that if loaded down fully, would probably crush you like a bug. This ruck will take an external Cargo Chair that will safely carry over 200 lbs., if you can.
Trust me, this is a serious pack.
