I have an alice pack you can use. I remember doing a lot of overland expeditions with nothing more. Granted Colorado isn't as pretty as the stumps but you should remember how to overcome and adapt.
Funny you guys mention that stuff... Just bought a new pair of boots, Danner Marine Hot weather, and have been looking at new packs... I still have my last issued alice pack...
So the days of humping with black cadilac's (leather combat boots) and alice packs may be coming back for me!!!!!!!!
