[QUOTE="andym, post: 909715, member: 76069"] I started hunting again three years ago after a break of about 30 years. I'm still active duty and have been toting a rucksack for about that length of time. For hunting I'm using a modified Alice that I've carried for years. I know it's not the most comfortable pack but it's what I like. Over the years I've carried Lowa rucks when we first started looking at internal frame packs, Gregory's, and several others. Our rucks have advanced quite a bit over the years. We now have a set of Mystery Ranch packs issued. I still fall back on the modified Alice. I guess because I'm old and set in my ways. I guess the point of my babbling is that it's a case of whatever works for me. I have abused my Alice rucks beyond belief. These modified Alice's are covered in various sized pockets and better hardware than the issued Alice. I like the big main compartment. I don't like how wide it is with the side pockets so last year I ended up adding compression straps to give it a more narrow profile. With any Alice I do recommend improved shoulder straps and belt capable of carrying some of the load. I have no doubt that all these hunting rucks are great. If I had $700 to spend on a pack....hell I'd buy a gun. Thanks, Andy [/QUOTE]
