Ever notice when people on the forum talk about there bag (BOB, Back Pack, Mollie, Alice, etc.) they always say, "Yea, and it will pack a lot of weight". So are we talking 275 Pounds, 180 pounds, 62 pounds, WHAT....? TEST it, fill it with clean gravel, or lead shot, 5 gal. jugs of water, rocks. Very few people have ever tried to stand up with a 150 pound pack on there back.
If you think you have the "Mother of all Bags" test it, hump that puppy 10 miles, with max load and report how it worked. There is a reason that "Professional" Back Packs cost $500.00 and a reason other packs cost $75.00 or less. It really does not matter, but don't kid yourself, about your gear. Your won't be happy if the left shoulder strap is torn loose after two miles with a heavy load.
