A funny note is that I've add a few more packs to the collection since I moved and now have more space. I've added a cheep ALICE pack along with a Tropical Light weight Rucksack by The Hidden Woodsman.
I used the Alice when I was in the army, late 90s,thats the medium size ruck there is one that is alot larger. And the kidney pad is just that,it set above your pistol belt about right on your kidneys. We would take the belt and fold it into the frame and let it ride on your lower back,easy to dump off when you had to ditch it.
I love the RUSH12. It is so versatile as an EDC bag. I have been thinking about getting the SPECOPS Recon Ruck for some time now. The problem I have is the new standard-issue military kit is way too over-engineered, too large and too clumsy. I can't really stick with my old hand ALICE pack either as it is slow-falling apart after 20 years of extreme field use in rough conditions. The Recon-ruck seems to give me the best of both worlds. the price is a major factor for why I've not pulled the trigger on the Recon Ruck yet. I have my 3L bladder in the space between my back and the frame, some of my colleagues have placed their NATO sleep mat there.
Did the side pouches on the pathfinder come with the ruck pack itself or you bought them separately and can you give the link for the pouches please?
The pack came with the pouches
That was a very informative video, and you have a nice collection of back packs. You said that the Spec Ops Ruck put all of the weight on your shoulders. Was that without the frame? When you put the frame on it, does it transfer the weight to your hips? I'm looking at the Spec Ops ruck for a hiking pack. Thanks for your help.
You will feel the weight on your shoulders without the frame. Also any hard items in the pack you’ll feel it pressing up against your back without the frame. The frame does transfer the weight to your hip, but it’s not the best compared to more modern designs when dealing with the hip pad. I did a 7+mile hike with all the components put together recently. I can see why they call the hip pad a kidney pad. One important thing to note: I’m not sure what frame/straps/waist pad you’re looking at, but I had some squeaky noise with the straps and frame. It was so noticeable and annoying I improvised it by wrapping the frame where it comes into contact with the straps with the inner white cordage from paracord. If you’re looking at this pack for hiking, prepare to do your research and take it up as a project because you will need to work on it to your standards.
@@thescharfchannel Thanks for your response. I like the Spec Ops pack because I already have a new, un-issued military ALICE pack frame, and I want a pack that is an upgrade from the original military ALICE pack. I plan to use Tactical Tailor straps and kidney pad. I don't have a lot of experience using an ALICE pack, but I like the idea of an external frame pack.
@@02shooter20 The straps on the Spec Ops can be used on the frame so you can save $$$ on that. Just look up the waist pad you want and you’re good to go once you have all three items.
