Anyways, the ALICE pack with a little extra love, some McGuyverish rigging, and alot of extra padding will always remain #1 in my book. The point of the matter is that no matter what manufacturer or high speed pack you carry 130 lbs is 130 lbs and it is going to suck, you just have to make yourself love the suck, at least you have a sweet lady with you.
