So I'm going to be getting back into hiking...to get back in shape.... and am looking at some solid gear...
I've been dancing between a large MOLLE ruck (polymer frame, sustainment pouch, padded belt, etc) for less than 100$, but seems like it may be a bit large...
Then I see an assault pack, which looks like a glorified school backpack, which looks nice and simple (less to go wrong) and a lot lighter....
Additionally, how are FLC's sized? I'm a big guy (6'2" 325#) and I know most of the stuff designed for military isnt designed for overweight guys like myself...
I was planing on running the FLC with crossdraw holster (hiking in mountains) and a few pockets for radio/map/compass/flashlight/etc, with heavier stuff either fitting in the assault pack or the ruck...
I'm also using my hiking trips to test my B.O.B. ... essentially fine tuning it every trip... My current B.O.B. is essentially a duffel, but I want something easier to carry (read: shouldered)
Suggestions?
