https://www.armynavyoutdoors.com/usmc-filbe-gov-issue-complete-pack-coyote-surplusPacked some meat out this last fall with my day pack, not far, about a mile but took two trips for a medium sized whitetail buck. Kinda looking for something that works better than a day pack without breaking the bank and this doesn’t look like a bad option. Anyone used one or if not is there anything about it that stands out as a ‘no go’?
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................

I dunno about the FILBE but I could get 2 whitetails in my ILBE, maybe more. Boned of course. That bag will carry more than I can lift.

There's a guy on youtube that reviewed the FILBE vs the ILBE. He took both for 2mi hikes with hills. FILBE was the surprise loser. I have an ILBE and it handles heavy loads with surprising comfort. I guess I shouldn't be surprised for a pack designed by Arcteryx

I’d seen that one before. Didn’t know what to make of it though.

Looks nicer then the Jungle Pack and the later A.L.I.C.E. packs I was issued.
