USGI Military Large Olive Drab Alice Pack with Straps, Frame & Pad - Durable Tactical Backpack for Hiking, Camping & Outdoor Adventures

Army Surplus is the way to go for any type of camping gear and this is the perfect example. Uncle Sam equips it's personnel well (unless you got a 1st release M16) and this same model took our troops from WWII through Viet Nam. It's built like a tank, it'll carry a ton, and my 14 year old soon to be Eagle Scout will likely give this pack to his son as this pack replaces the circa 1955 Alice Pack that got me through Boy Scouts and years of camping, my oldest son's Boy Scouting years,and finally it gave out while my youngest was camping with his troop a few weeks ago. The old one was faded and frayed but after 4 decades of use you'd have to expect some of that. This pack is built like my old pack so we will likely be replacing it in 2056 and I hope I'm around to write the review of it's replacement
