BOB weight range

[DFBrews]

Currently Mine is the 5.11 3 day and the belt leaves a lot to be desired a pack with hip pads is in the future. Todays 6 mile power hike was not bad shoulders are a bit sore and I had to adjust things in the pack to keep them from digging in my back. But for the first time out it was decent. If I can keep it under 50 I can manage a full day my fire pack was 45 with out fuel for the saw and PPE.

Very nice and streamlined and fairly good for OPSEC. All the cool kids have MOLLE these days.

And I have to say it....

Which pocket does the monkey blanket fit?

It gets rolled up and tied to the outside. Its great for when im camping out. if someone is sneaking up on me i get a couple extra seconds to draw while they try to figure out what it is

general rule is 20% of your body weight to start. 30% with experience.

This usually winds up to be the opposite. Beginners cram everything they can, experienced want to or need to carry less useless shit.

This does not count a combat loadout of vest and rifle though.

When just backpacking my pack weighs about 35 pounds. That includes my airweight .38 with 2 reloads.

When I pack in the weapon systems it gets much heavier. I tend not to hike with my AR though...
