I was speaking from experience. Don't try wiping with dry leaves. Your fingers will go right through, then you'll have a whole new set of problems. Absolutely right. Then, you look like an ass with shit on yer digits. I actually keep a handful of tri-fold baby wipes (Huggies? from Costco) in a gallon freezer bag stowed in the zipper pocket on my ILBE assault pack. They take up little space and I can use them to wipe or clean my face or nether regions if I'm out for a while. They take up little space and weigh next to nothing. A small bottle of hand sanitizer is kept close to the wipes. |

As a basic load carrying pack, ILBE all the way. Because of the ILBE's pack profile, expanding the capacity by using large sustainment pouches makes load feel awkward (for me anyway). If you need to expand capacity and heavier loads, FILBE. The FILBE is more custom friendly in general and with ALICE lineage of packs. |

The helmet is the ops corp Multicam carbon shell and the bungee system is the ops core helmet bungee system...I use it to throw Chem lights underneath or whatever. I want to get the new team Wendy helmet though...a lot lower profile and more comfortable.

Yea I have no purpose for the ballistic version. The carbon version is very light. I was in the process of saving up to get the Multicam pvs-14 on TNVC but I saw they have the thermal monocular version so I'm gonna get that one first. Lol 6,495 though. |

I didn't weigh my pack with everything thrown in, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was around 55lbs, give or take a few. I think that's about maxed-out for these rigs, and I found it tough to get the weight onto my hips instead of my shoulders. Might need to make some adjustments before the next trip. |
