I see it now, listed as "GT", but they don't have photos are anything up. I think I'm going to get one. Lightguns, does that mean you HAVE tried it in a real drenching, or have NOT? Thanks

I ended up going with a Somnus bag by Stoic. Stoic is the Backcountry.com house brand. It weighs in at 1.25 lbs, and is rated for 30F (about -1C). It is about the size of a football when packed. I think I got last year's model, as it was on clearance. It came in right around the $150 mark with...

Have you used this in any real rain yet? Is it the SuperFly that they have on this page? http://www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/tarps.php Cheers

Every unit is different, and some switch depending on their budget.

Rog. I've had the same results trying to find it.

I realize this isn't CANSOFCOM, per se, but in the interest in keeping all of the pre-selection PT info in one thread, does anyone have a public link to the CP pre-selection fitness manual? Cheers

Yes, it's a huge change from last year. It's still a good match though, and very applicable.

The 22nd annual tattoo went down this weekend in Hamilton, ON. (Below taken from http://www.canadianmilitarytattoo.ca/) Here are some links and video from the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIMrPJfu9Ho - Fanfare and Opening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKHKl26RIQY - Last Post and...

You may also come down to a time when you have to take a litre of water out of your ruck to make way for that ammo. I would never suggest that you intentionally dehydrate yourself (in preparation) for that eventuality. In an austere location you also can't have showers. Does that mean you...

So Mr Seggie, your point here is that when deployed you may not have enough room in your ruck for enough IMPs, so we should start starving ourselves now in preparation? You might run low on ammo too, so I guess reserve rounds are good to go. No good will come from being in a catabolic state and...

That's true, but I meant the number of training days is greater, as there were certain things they had to bring our baseline up on, and had the foresight to plan for that. Not just the fact that it's spread out of a much longer period of time.

I'm about halfway through the course right now. Mine is a PRes one, so it's a lot longer then the RegF one. What I'm expecting the hardest part to be is AFV. That's one thing you can get an early start on, and will give some piece of mind not having to worry about it.

This will actually be mostly for work, but like I said, it'll be wrapped in an OD bivy bag. It would be nice if it came in OD or black, but I'm open to anything at this point. Skeltor, that's where I'm torn the sleeper lite is 56 oz, rated for 0 degrees, and $69 USD...

I'm in the market for a new fart sack, and there are so many available options, and so many pros/cons to each, that I'm having a tough time. From the Feathered Friends bags that come in below 2 lbs, to the tried and true (and heavy) SnugPak line, all the way to Marmot and North Face bags. I'm...

I don't think so. Our PRes pers typically get regimental stuff after SQ, give or take. What typically ends up happening is the next parade that comes along, they are expected to wear our headdress (as we don't wear berets, it is very obvious), so it gets sorted out at this time. It varies for...

These "facts" do not add up. I suspect a large degree of sensationalism being made here. One does not choke someone for 45 seconds while the person remains conscious and attempts to tap out. If a choke is properly applied, it will take less then ten seconds for the person to go unconscious...

I worked with a few cats from Pet at CFSAC, and at one of the ORA competitions this summer. My understanding is they had try-outs at some point, then the team stood up in May. Their Mon-Fri gig from May to Sep was shooting all day in prep for CFSAC. So my guessing is that timelines for this...

Comms has an electronic warfare squadron...or be like me, graduate from a software engineering program and then join the infantry  :D
