Well I picked up a set of 4 straps in their little kit. Got two 2-footers and two special cut 6 footers with female ends on both ends. I played with the ruck and think this is going to make a HUGE difference. I can now go straight up with my load and use the long straps to go from the frame bottom all the way across the top and then down to my shoulder straps creating my own load lifters st a downward angle. They just click right in and cinch em down. MR was very helpful and charged nothing to add two feet to the longer straps and change out the buckles to all female. Could not be happier with the rig now.

Mark, a good instructional CD with video would really be nice. The setup is not nearly as obvious as with a standard internal frame ruck.

I guess the next purchase will be the gun bearer for use with the crew cab. My buddy has the Kifaru one. I don't need quick access or anything, just a secure carrying system. Any suggestions on that?
