I have a berghaus centurio 30 with two 15l side pockets

my old pack was some garbage kelty frame pack

kinda wish i'd picked up the centurio 45 but the 30 was used and wayyyy cheaper

I did a 193 in Colorado with my kelty and the only complaints are the shoulder pading is too thick and the cumber straps ride too high

pretty comfy pack all things considered

i mean my kelty isnt awful

its serviceable

The mystery ranch seems to have fixxed all those issues

but like man, its just so outdated

Alice is outdated

yeah alice is poopy

external frame in general is pretty outdated

Anyone who is running Alice in a serious maner or alice style pack is retarded larping

unless youre using one of those fancy hunting packs or whatever

I can't stand Alice

And the "improved alice" frames are hot shit

also the side pockets can be rigged up as a really retarded looking pack, if you really wanted

for the centurio

which i thought is quite funny

That looks super unbalanced and hard to use

yeah

I felt that my issued MOLLE ruck's frame was subpar when wearing kit, since the frame is ergonomic to a bare back and shit. Trying to ruck up a mountain in 4 feet of snow is hard enough without the frame wobbling around.
The ALICE frame fit pretty snug around my back plate and helped hold it still

the straps go on on uh, molle (i think?) on the back of them

Legit looks like it puts weight where your back is not made to support it

not molle

heres what they look like rigged up on the back

lol

nutsack pack

the real use for them though is to zipper them to the sides of the pack

Bruh

theyre compatible with most berghaus packs

>zipper riding on your spine
Sounds very fun

so i can upsize this pack with the same pockets that i use on my 30l

if i wanted to get another pack

but 60l total is more than enough, imo

Up in Alaska, we get issued special cold weather uniforms, and the pants come with suspenders that we're supposed to wear instead of belts because belts can cut off some circulation and cause cold weather injuries

suspenders are comfy

Those suspenders have a plastic slider to adjust them

Here is the mystery ranch out elk hunting

Those plastic sliders are not comfy under plates
