I have been a user of the ALICE pack or as some call it a Rucksack, from the day that the Army gave me one 14 years ago. Well if it's built to go to war, then it can make it through a weekend in the woods or sandy hill.

I have both the med and large packs, I do use a frame with both. But the Med pack is made to be used without a frame, but if you're going out in the heat or cold use a frame. It helps to keep the pack off your back and lets any heat build up out. The med pack was designed to carry up to 50 lbs and large up to 70 lbs but both will go past that.

Both packs have a large center pocket with a small pocket inside of that at the top, the flap that covers the main compartment also works as a pocket. For wet stuff or a map. On the outside you will find 3 nice large pockets and 3 more above that, also on the side's are area to hook on more stuff. Like a canteen or First Aid kit. The pack is not waterproof but you can buy liners to do the job. This is one pack that you can live out of on a trip. Give it a try you will never go back...
