I was issued a CFP-90 and they never asked for it back; I've used it as a great rough camping backpack ever since. For my wife I had a large Alice on a frame; I carried the tent and heavier supplies like water, she carried food and clothing. Now that we have a kiddo, she'll have to carry more weight out of necessity (since we're supporting 3 instead of 2). So I looked around the web and decided to get a surplus ILBE main ruck.
So I got the darn thing and although I did figure out how to put the belt back on, the rest of it has more buckles than a pilgrim's shoe store. Anyone on here from the Corps during the ILBE era (ie, recently) that can give some pointers on how to pack this thing?
In addition, I'm wondering if I should switch my wife to the CFP-90 since I think it will work better for her hips. Thoughts on ILBE on a girl with hips?
