Pack for training

[bard]

Hey guys. I am in need of a cheap pack for training. I work out of town and would leave it at work. either a frame that can attach weight plates out of the gym or just plates in the bag. any ideas? don't want to break the bank as it will never see field use. I have a kuiu 7200 for at home that i load up with rocks and water.

The Alps OutdoorZ Commander or Commander lite are inexpensive.

Find an older crew cab or mule on a NiCE frame. Under 200. Maybe close to $100. IMO plates rub holes in packs $6 of play sand, some ziplocks and ductape is the key. mix up some 10# and 20# sandbags and you can mix and match.

My dedicated training pack is a kifaru tactical frame. I use the cargo net to hold a sandbag.

Great idea to keep training gear where you are going to use it.

I would do exactly what John says -- cheap and heavy.
