no widebody i actually spent a hell of alot of time robbing info from the DOD and DARPA.
the amount of money spent on these is astounding.
and i KNOW MY GEAR like the back of my hand and whats good and whats crap.
take a look at the arcteryx website for civilians and also the gregory site for civilian QUALITY gear. you will crap yer pants at what GOOD gear costs nowadays.
these aint no POS alice ruck sack, that chew into yer shoulders until raw.
and if ya ever carried 1/4's of elk out, or humped the grand canyon or havasupai, or the cascades or the rockies or anywhere beyond yer lokal qwickie mart with anything beyond 2-12 paks.........................well ya kind of learn what humping gear is ALL ABOUT!
this time the military got it right.
my old alice ruck is relegated to either a garage sale or the poo can!
if you havent had yer gear fail in the middle of BFE...............you aint lived!
by the way my last 10 day hike i humped 70 pounds.
its ALL ABOUT DA GEAR!
