I don't know what the total weight is. I never weighed it. The pack is fairly heavy, and you'll know why when I post pics of what's inside it. The cart feels virtually weightless when I pull it. It's built for hauling deer, and what I have packed on it is much lighter than a deer. It looks heavier than it is because it's so bulky.

I'm aware of the issues with ALICE packs. I humped many a mile in bootcamp. But there's one thing about ALICE that no one can deny... she's tough. Throw that sucker off a cliff and when you find it at the bottom I bet it won't have a single tear.

I've always said plan for the worst, and the worst means you're out longer than you expected. I'm not one to count on someone else rescuing my ass because I only brought 3 days worth of supplies and they still can't find me after a month.
