Also, for what it's worth, an ALICE will carry 150+ lbs of weight, too (been there, done that), though again you wouldn't want to do it.<br Sean Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966504318953786574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366762006352832473.post-47468632655015063902014-03-31T17:15:25.778-05:002014-03-31T17:15:25.778-05:00You've completely misread what I posted.
Week...You've completely misread what I posted.<br /><br />Weekend warriors comment for example, there's a ton of folks who rarely get out and then when they do they complain about the relative comfort of a pack or pair of boots. The reality is the body adapts to action, inaction can then be the opposite, people get soft. Wasn't aimed at you in the least.

You should carry the gear you like. No question about that. <br /><br />You started the post by saying "One of the most common complaints I hear about canvas packs is the lack of frame or general discomfort to carry." I know I have complained about that in the past, so I wanted to clarify.

My issue wit...Great idea. Beautiful looking pack. <br /><br />My issue with canvas packs has always been the lack of features available for the very high weight of the packs. I quite like frameless packs, but they usually weight in the 1lb range (the benefit of removing the frame). A frameless canvas pack on the other hand can be in the 5lb range or higher. For that weight one can get a very large pack with a Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366916570963904793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366762006352832473.post-64058484800633091602014-03-30T09:32:30.237-05:002014-03-30T09:32:30.237-05:00Arguably the best looking ALICE rig in existence.Arguably the best looking ALICE rig in existence.Sean Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966504318953786574noreply@blogger.com
