Second to PhilB
Canadian Peacekeeper stuff is crap, it is made poorly, cheaply and is comparable in price to the real deal, as has been mentioned. For Civilian purposes, buy a civilian ruck, they are far better than anything the army has - yet. If you really feel the need to spend some $$$, buy an arc'teryx from their LEAF (Law Enforcement Armed Forces) Program. This is truly quality gear.
As to the use of a 64 pattern ruck, you can only attach a good waistbelt with SIGNIFICANT modifications. If you lack an industrial strength sewing machine, you will have to find one.
In the army we use the 64 because it is the best thing available TO US, not because we have a choice.
