I am 165# and 5'7".
I am building a survival backpack in the event of a catastrophic earthquake and I am forced to leave the house (most likely due to fire).
There's a guy selling ALICE packs that look decent for about $35 shipped. The problem is, he has three sizes: SMALL MEDIUM and LARGE. (these are the LC-1 packs btw with the seat belt type belt buckle)
Do the sizes mean that the packs themselves are larger or smaller, or does it mean it is mean for a small, medium, or large sized person?
further, does the ALICE system have a provision for attaching a rifle to it, like the swiss did with their k31 rifles? i know soldiers are required to always carry their guns, hand on pistol grip and HG, but i can think of many times in which id like to be able to carry it strapped the pack instead.
Thanks, guys
PS: we just had a 3.3 earthquake here a week ago, and peru just had a bad one, and yesterday there was a small tremblor about 200 miles north as well. so... its good to be prepared, yes?
