For the best SFAS preparation, what size and type of rucksack would you recommend training with? It seems like practicing with an external frame wouldn't be ideal if it doesn't conform to SFAS standards, and my copy of the Prep PT doesn't include any specific suggestions on this subject. Any advice would be appreciated.

The issue Large ALICE and frame, with weights as indicated in the prep program.
There is no need to exceed 55 lbs. or so in training. Doing so will increase the chances of an injury and cause problems in the long term.
