Filbe Rucksack Revisited

Some of my initial impressions of this pack were wrong. I had intended to get back to this last year, but hammocks and life events got in the way.
My opinion hasn't changed much, this is a heavy pack, good for carrying heavy loads but probably not your first choice for a backpacking trip. Unless you will be humping 100+ lbs of gear. I want to play around with it more to see how adjusting compression, lifter straps and the waist belt can make it more comfortable. This is definitely a pack that you have to set-up for you.
An abundance of features complicates the learning curve yet allows versatility and personalization. These variations will affect your comfort but can take time to figure out and get dialed in. I've seen several videos by the Marine Corps and others, that explain in more detail, the set-up of this pack, how to put it on, and variations for torso length, height, load lifter alternatives etc. I'll try to incorporate some of this information into future videos. Search youtube and you'll find them.

I'd say this is a good conditioning pack to help you stay fit for your outdoor adventures. Or save it for when your grandkids are re-enacting Afghanistan in 30 or 40 years.
