So, for September 11th, our wing is doing a 10 mile memorial ruck march. I'm debating how I'm gonna set up my rig for that. I've got a backpack that I usually load up with water (about 30 pounds total), but it doesn't really sit on me very comfortably (the joys of cheap backpacks I suppose). Wondering if I'd get some better weight distribution if I figure out how to attach the backpack to my Interceptor vest.
I'm not too concerned about the weight, though this march will be longer by about 4 miles than any I've done in about 10 years.![]()
see if you can find an old alice frame (like they used for the radio's in Vietnam) and fit your pack to it, put a pad belt into it and then set it to your body shape - works for me and I usually carry up to about 80kg - I think it's roughly about 100lb's
