I packed with an ALICE for years. God I hate that pack. Get a new pack that holds the load more vertically and close in and has load lifters. You'll thank me.
Those with bungees and ratchet straps just need to learn a trucker's hitch and carry para cord.
Good idea...I can still cut the paracord off my pack when my trucker’s hitch turns into a square knot. 😜
