Alice Backpack
Question about pack marching (Australian Army)?

Can someone please advise me on whether I should attempt it (with a 25kg pack filled with bricks for 5-10km) *before* going to Kapooka? I don’t own an Alice Pack, so can I just use a regular Kmart backpack without a waist strap?

Thanks for your time!

I would strongly advise against it. You will learn how to conduct pack marches properly and in a relatively safe manner when you get to Kapooka, possibly at IETs and when you get to your unit.

You only risk doing unnecessary damage to yourself before you get in – especially if you are starting at that weight and distance and choosing a dodgy pack. You might be better off taking this time to work other aspects of your fitness instead – running and upper body strength, for instance.
