    Questions about Artillery NCM duties and career progression

    The big postings for Artillery are; 1RCHA in Shilo, MB, 2RCHA in Petawawa, ON, 5RALC in Valcartier, QC, and the RCA School in Gagetown, NB. There's also 4AD Regt in Gagetown, NB and Moncton, NB, but that's all Air Defence. Outside of those, for the western area, you can also get posted to CFB...

    Snowshoes - How do you put YOUR bindings on?

    For the past couple years I've gotten a pack of mukluk laces from the QM and tied the bindings in. Wrap around the front of the binding and tie it to the cross-piece on the snowshoe, and then do a criss-cross pattern across the opening to keep my boots from slipping underneath. Works fine in...

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    CADPAT would be more expensive...and hard to get. OD or coyote brown would be much easier to get.

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    Just an idea, forget the Goretex lining, it'll save on weight and keep costs down, and you can use a dry bag or anything similar inside. Instead go with a 500d Cordura bag, double the bottom, and add a storm collar. As for the lid, a floating design isn't bad though it looses the point IMO when...

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    Most bags I've seen lately use 500d Cordura. It's a tighter weave than 1000d, lighter and more water resistant.

    Mystery Ranch/Camelbak Crewcab and NICE frame

    Back in...July I think...I scored a Mystery Ranch/Camelbak Crewcab and NICE frame in black. Shortly after, with intentions of using the frame with a 64 bag, I sprayed it down to make it less "black". Also one of the shoulder strap buckles had cracked so I replaced that with a surface-mount ITW...

    Updating the 64 Rucksac

    I pretty much did just that. I used one of the newer 64 bags and rebuilt it to use with my MR NICE frame. I started by stripping the bag and opening it up so I could work on the sides easier. All the pockets and webbing came off the outside. I liked the through-sleeves under the side...

    The Integrated Soldier System Project (ISSP)

    Might be a 1CMBG thing? I know Z Bty has also gotten the TT MAV's with the goody bag of pouches, also saw a couple guys at 2VP using them last time I was in the field.

    Saving a chest rig's straps

    Two options; One, you can replace just the yoke (looks like a TT MAV? You can buy the X-harness seperate. Two, you can either sew a new strap onto the yoke, or just add to what's there. Find a local tailor or fabric shop and buy some 2" webbing.

    64 Pat Rucksack Mounted on Downeast 1606AC Airborne Molle Frame

    I can't imagine a patent on anything other than the plastic hardware used for the rigging. Just take it apart and you might find the manufactures name printed on the pieces.

    64 pack frame vs ALICE pack frame

    Myself and everyone I've seen runs the A7A straps around the entire pack (so they top to bottom of the frame and around the outside of the bag and valice). I picked mine up from Dropzone in Edmonton, and have 2" ITW Nexus buckles on them.

    Mystery Ranch NICE frame built for Canadian Forces

    I haven't seen an issued one, but I have a Mystery Ranch/Camelbak NICE frame (cheaper alternative to the original). It's a fantastic design with the adjustable yoke and pack board style back. The multiple attachment points make it easy to rig up the different bags they offer, making it a very...

    64 pack frame vs ALICE pack frame

    Nothing big, cut off D-rings from the side and put on a ladderlock buckle, and then just adding some length to the webbing and side-release buckles to the existing straps.
