Any recommendations for a quality, non-military issue ruck/pack?

I'm looking for a pack to use during GoRuck challenges and things of that nature and to train for an eventual EFMB road march. I have an old Blackhawk pack that I bought for my 1st deployment in 03, but it's finally starting to fall apart. I know GoRuck sells their own line of packs, but they're pretty pricey. I've used mostly internal frames in the past, but I'm open to suggestions.

I am big fan of Mystery Ranch packs. They are expensive though. Got issued one in my last SOF unit (they are actually civilian packs though).

Why not get an old ruck from military surplus store?

Any suggestions on the type of training I should do so that I can try one of these challenges?

If you're going to spend the money that GoRuck is asking, take a look at Kifaru or Mystery Ranch Packs. They both make quality packs but they're not cheap.

I'm a fan of the MALICE pack. I've had one forever and it has always beat out the new ones. http://www.tacticaltailor.com/malicepacks.aspx
