    NOTES:
    - the beaver tail also works with the CF 2
    - the upper pocket has a velcro "false bottom," that you can open into the main compartment

Maybe it wasn't you but I thought it was whoever it was brought up why the 3 to 4 mag chest rigs suck and went into detail if a town gets hit or even if you know they're coming how whoever is there how quickly they'd run out of ammo if they're all just packing 3-4 Mags?

    Adding pouches, however attached, seem to always swing about. I have always preferred going for a simple, larger pack than possibly required, and then not stuffing it full. Coming from the UK, of my time, it was either a Berghaus Munro, NI Patrol Pack, or PLCE Bergen, which sat on a full battle belt rig. All very simple with little to them, and the weight of the packs was mostly in the bomb proof construction and not on extras. Things may have moved on, but keeping it simple saves having to think too much when sleep is all you want.
    Always love your content.

    The ALICE large ruck served me well. Super tough (it even survived my mechanized infantry days on Bradleys and M113s which chew up gear), not expensive (because they refused to issue me anything but a medium), and a huge storage capacity (so you can hump that 100 pounds of stuff like 20 pop and drops and 25 pairs of socks).

Instead of a beaver tail, bungee cord and cord locks from Varusteleka - tough, strong, and less weight, multipurpose. What i would add is birch tar for leather, wooden handles and blades maintenance.

      The ILBE is probably my favorite pack I own. Arcteryx design on a government budget is hard to beat. It's suspension system is one of the best for rucking heavy loads for many miles thanks particularly to its beefy hip belt, plush shoulder pads, and effective load lifters. I seriously don't think I've seen another pack with a more rugged or padded belt. I live in Southern Appalachia, and find it has more than enough room for my gear even in the winter. For places that get truly cold I could see it being undersized, but that's what you strap the assault pack on for. Just keep that assault pack very light or you'll regret it, lol.

      @@NotTheRealRustyShackleford gotcha, I don't even own the original assault Pack, but I have a 5.11 Rush24 that can be attached the same way... still I never do it. The idea of putting it on the back is maybe the only design glitch of this system. I recently got 2 FILBE hydration carriers and put them on the sides as sustainment pouches. This way I gain some space for food and cook items.

      ​@@wahyasaquii7563​ My 2¢ on Savotta packs is their suspension system sucks for how pricey they are, but they are well made packs. I only own the Jääkäri S, and for it the low profile webbing straps work since its so small. I can only recommended that pack if you can get it on sale, otherwise just get and ILBE Assault pack. For a serious rucking pack it looks like the Jääkäri L and XL packs have some padding, but just not enough for their capacity. Crossfire seems to do a much better job in this department, and I am a fan of the ILBE suspension myself. I view packs like I view boots. It could have all the bells and whistles in the world, but if it ain't comfortable I ain't buying it...

    • @darthtater110
      @darthtater110 17 дней назад +1

      In my experience, the CF1's comfy up to about 25lbs as it comes stock. I modded mine with a padded belt and it works good up to 35lbs (which is hard to fill it that much due to the size)
      If you're planning on going above 30lbs with it, a more stiff frame sheet would also be a good idea as well
      In terms of heat, it's perfectly fine in my use. It's really skinny width-wise (under 10 inches, unless you add some side pouches) so it doesn't create any hotspots. The yoke and included frame sheet also keep it off the middle of your back.
