Packs - Internal vs External Frame

[PayetteRucker]

150lbs of "Bug Out" gear... wow Payette! Maybe you should refer to it as "Lug Out" gear. I hear they'll go after the slowest, first.

Lighten up will ya?

I think I would hate any bag with 130lbs in it. That is an unrealistic load, IMO. Aside from hauling a quartered elk out of the woods.

Rucking rediculous weight rediculously fast is what I do. Note, that is a combat load with a bolt gun, AR and shotgun, ammo for all and 12 liters of water (I live in desert highlands, there is no water unless you climb down the rediculous canyons to get to the feces infested rivers)... I have a full inventory of it somewhere but it's so comprehensive you would shit yourself if you saw all the things you can fit in a pack and weigh in at around 150 pounds. I still move at 4+ mph with it on, at a ruck pace, I'm sure I could run faster than that. The NICE frame distributes the weight so well it feels like 75 pounds. There's a reason it costs 600 dollars, it freakin works.

You paid $600 for the NICE frame only?

Or did you pay $600 for the NICE frame AND a pack?

Is this the NICE frame you have?

That is it.

I have one that I run on a MALICE pack by Tactical Tailor.

It is outstanding.

The frame alone is like $250 or so.

The one I posted is $130.

I haven't yet tried an internal frame pack that I've liked. My back fits ALICE mediums really well. Plus, it's a whole lot easier to lash a rifle to an external rather than internal frame. I might check out Kifaru, though, they really look interesting.
