These guys were hauling up and down the mountains, daily.  For distances longer than our BFT. Sometimes in excess of 48 hour patrol ops.  I'm certain if they didn't feel it was useful, it would be left behind. The guys were trying to save weight every way possible, and for damn good reason. LCF...

  I'm going to bow out of the "I've fired more machine guns from more things than you"  contest, I WILL lose that one. Having said that I have a bit of experience, and I was offering an opinion on versatility. You're going all black hat on me!!! ;) I agree, it wouldn't be of use to everyone...

did that include his actual parachute and reserve parachute?  I hope for his sake he got to ditch some of that weight once he hit the ground!!!  Was that with PPE+plates or without? Cheers

Very true, but you aren't always only shooting on the move.  Stationary shooting should also be considered. Yes, as it "lifts" your head off of the butt, and allows more clearance between your face and the weapon. Not night sights as it tritium, Peq-2 as in I/R as in this thing. ...

Why not add rails to the C6? If there is anyone I would want to be able to see where he is shooting, its usually the man with the most firepower.  and;  we all know how hard it is to get a sight picture on the C6 iron's while wearing a head set and/or goggles. If it is going to increase the...

Wonderbread; Its not a lot of gear....its an epic @#$% ton... If I was humping the man-pack I'd be tracking down the 1st experienced 031 Pl sig I find and getting advice. I was in the turret 75% of the time.  For anything dismounted I lightened up a fair amount. Working with the US however, I...

Well....those came out pretty large. Hope it helps, Mods if you can shrink those down a bit, I'd appreciate it. It all varies as to where you are and what you are doing...If you are in the big dirty, and going out often, this is the standard. PLUS water, food, radio, batteries, maps, GPS, PRR...

Sam; Gordon Contracts on Norfinch rd in North York.  They aren't on the site, but they will order them for you.  Takes about 2 weeks.  W/ a mil discount comes up to $244 a pair.  Glad the green machine is footing the bill on this one for me. AB http://www.gordoncontract.ca/

Well, I've had these in brown and black.  Either way the best boots I've ever owned. I spent up to 14 hrs a day standing on a differential case in the hmmwv turret on the last roto, and I was always comfy.  I didnt do a whole lot of walking (read almost none) outside the wire, but the one 26km...

I had a civilian "boss" of mine tell me a few weeks ago that "once a week is way too often for something like this, you're obviously not hurt or anything." I'll admit, the thought of braking his face did cross my mind, and I still smile at the thought of it. Maybe the pics from the tour that I...

my review. "ouch....ouch.....hot....ouch...@#$% this!  I'm getting good boots." AB

Ok, I like the idea of what you are trying to do here but I can notice a few small things that bother me. I see where you're going with it.  The thing that gets me is how it takes as much away as it gives back. It covers 2 mags so if you put 6 on the panel, its really only 4. It covers the 2...

Um...don't take this the wrong way.  This thing makes no sense what so ever.  Maybe without the tac vest and just armour it might be OK.  It just seems wrong to cover mag pouches, cover the zipper and I think it would be way to thick when driving or in a vehicle at all. AB

copquest.com  Look up safariland 6004 BHP in google.  IThey've got it it a whole bunch of fancy colours and sizes.  Its an American company so the shipping might cost you.  They go for about $120 USD.  My room mate ordered one through the US post office on camp and there were no taxes and...

You mean June 7th 2003, about noon, 300M in front of 3 no hook Pte Sigs and a LS Cook?  Gee, no wonder "REMF's" get slagged.  I hope I get a badge with a coffee cup on it. I love being a smart ass.
