Usually try to follow that protocol and try to ask questions I haven't seen addressed. My last post was my attempt to respond to Dozers desire for me to grab ahold of my sack more often and not offend him with flattery (he has been subtly pushing to do this). Sorry if it offended.
At the risk of further irritating Dozer (or any of the other gents here who I seem to rub the wrong way). I wanted to give you all an AAR on what I decided. I ordered a Malice 3 and had them add some PALS webbing as well as the RTO zipper. I have humped the Alice long distances with heavy loads before and just couldn't get away from the established bond created from embracing the suck with the big green tick on my back (Also, as I mentioned before, I humped the Molle but couldn't stand it so all the reaffirmation about the Alice is really what sold me). Also ordered an XLT from Kifaru and asked both TT and Kifaru to add the necessary clips that Aoresteen suggested for the mod. Already have an Alipad from HSGI. Ordered it all in OD based on what Stras pointed out which made a lot of sense. It's basically the same setup Aoresteen has so I thank him for taking the time to share his info. We were never allowed to carry modded rucks in LAR so I never invested in a personal one which is partly why i found this thread really informative and I learned some stuff that I didn't know before. Now I have purchased one and however it plays out I will have a solid pack for personal use. Really excited about it and already planning a wilderness excursion with some buddies to break it in. Thanks again for all the advice gents. I apologize for any irritation caused, but I feel like you all helped me make a better informed decision and wanted to let you all know the end state.
