Thanks for the heads up! BASE jumping is not illegal though. Try googling things like bridge day, Perrine bridge, MOAB. There are plenty of places that permit us to parachute off of. Not everyone trespasses to enter a building or climb an antenna. Thanks for jumping to conclusions!

It will hold what ever you can fit in it. Easily over 100lbs. The only things I have seen break on them is the plastic buckles. The zippers on the side pouches are kinda flimsy too. Other than that it's a decent ruck.

He owe's his rigger beer for that.

Actually its 2 years from when you joined. Most NCM's are trade qualified by that time.. ROTP would be once your *done your* program. edit **

I can't comment on that specific model, but for LOWA's I currently have the Mountain boot GTX, Renegades and Zephyr Desert boots. They are all top quality boots, haven't had anything fall apart on any of them and I've put them all through some good wear and tear. The Zephyr Deserts are good in...
