Hey! I'm a good student. He has a lot more miles under his boots than I do. If he says it works, I believe him.
Gotta have my stove. Gotta have my hot coffee in the morning. Don't do a lot of fire pits if I don't have to. Leave no trace and all that. If we camp where one has been I'll use it or if the weather requires it.
Lord of the Rings? If that like three long and two short? He would know about that because he's read all those fairy tales. I don't read that stuff or watch the movies.

WoW, can I be your son??? Oh Gracious One!
Sure you can. But you need to know he paid for his own trips! He got a job at a sports store so he could get an employee discount and pro deal his equipment (for those that don't know a pro deal is usually in the 10% below wholesale range. Sometimes much more depending on the company.).
My kids work for what they want. Dad didn't hand them anything except the bills.:D
Duct tape is on the water bottles. Underware?????? It's only a week.

I'm glad to see some love for my girl ALICE. She's not too popular with backpackers, but I fully expect my pack to outlive me. Is LC1 the large pack?
May I suggest increasing the number of antacid tabs. If your body isn't used to eating the a-pack meals on a regular basis, they may not agree with you. Whenever I spend a few days eating rehydrated meals they tend to give my stomach a hard time for the first couple of days.
These aren't rehydrated. I'm using heat and serve because water is supposed to be scarce but your point is well taken. Thanks!
Re: Your question on LC1, LostOutRider. In this case, yes, it is the large pack. Based on what I've read, the LC1 and LC2 designations are based on series. You could have an LC1 component that is modified in some way to become an LC2. So, the large pack could be either LC1 or LC2 depending on when it was made. Same for the medium pack, canteen covers, etc.
Others have made similar claims but I think they are true. The ALICE gear is rugged, cheap, proven and you can acquire tons of accessories both military and after market unlike most commercial packs.
