There is one other way to look at this.... As a new infantry NCM,If you plan on going PPCLI,You'll be spending most of your time in Wainwright in the Training system. PAT in Wx,like in Borden,is a long wait.Then you have your SQ course,more time on PAT,then finally your BIQ course.It is not...

Hopefully I'll see you in Sept for the LG 1 course or in Jan for the leopard course. cheers

The "pimp stick" we made was only carried once on the BRSM's change of command parade as a picture piece.It lives in a glass case in HQ till it is needed for another parade. I agree about the wood selection.We use maple for almost all of the canes we make unless the person supplies us with the...

Dimensions I can post tomorrow once I have a look at my cheat sheet at work. An alternative to the 20mm casing we have used in the past,as well if the "cap" is to be engraved is a yellow brass cap turned on a lathe with a slightly rounded mushroom style head.Unless you have the skill set or know...

I my shop we regularly manufacture drill canes for the instructors at the school.If you need any pointers,just ask. Depending on how complex,materials available and skill level,it can become a pretty complex procedure(you require basic woodworking skills and minor soldering and metal working...

I'll try to reword it a little bit more eloquently,but that's my back up plan.

Thanks Vern and GW, Will fill out the form tommorow and sit in the corner for an hour with the pointy hat for "losing my mittens".

I've blown the dust of this topic because I feel that it has good merit and also,I intend to volunteer with a local cadet corp in the new training year and want to be able to be ready for any and all questions they might ask,so what better way to be able research and reply than to get a national...

Hopefully Vern will jump in here, but anyone else with first hand experience is welcome and appreciated. The short story is this: Left my motor gloves in a buddy's car. He went back to Val. My fault, Want to get a new set, take full responsibility for the loss. Do I have to submit a lost kit...

cough......cough..(blows dust off keyboard) Still here in Wainwright. Arte Et Marte.

One word. Dropzone.

sporterized No 4 MK 1-Bought for 20 bucks and ripped this puppy apart. Polished the sear,trigger and cocking piece to achive a 2 lb trigger pull. Drill and tapped a hole in the trigger gaurd and added a over travel stop,already had a free floating barrel,but centre post bedded the action...

What's everyone using for a personal set up? I'm currently using a MSR wisperlite international with the 1L fuel bottle, a 1L pot, lid\fry pan, MSR titan spoon and a 5 cup coffee perk.All of this including the spare parts kit can fit in the 7.5L pouch that came with the small pack(except the...

I haven't used the fleece liner,but I do have experience with the Dropzone Squeeze Me liner(bought from Farmboy at oneshottactical).Very warm and very well constructed.The only downsides to Dropzone products is the price and the addiction to non-issue kit that they cause. Now that all the...

RIP Friends. :cdn: :salute:

I've had a hit(wallet,plate bag) or miss(hydration pack) relationship with CPGear.As soon as I could afford it and was in a place where I could purchase it,I went with the more reliable names,like Dropzone and CamelBak. You can never go wrong with solid, proven gear.

Not much of a gear slut anymore,but I still got my favorites. 1.Stealth suit-Already mentioned,but deserves another +1 2.Camelbak thermobak\Talon-I have both.I use my Talon hunting and my Thermobak army side.Both are well                            constructed,bladders are close to in...

Parker Hale as a main manufacturer or as a distributor went the same route as the dodo.We've been having a heck of a time even finding replacement parts for the ones still in service.Believe it or not,its easier at times to get parts for the No 4 and No 7!

This is just a quick question for Pike, Would you rather the Government and the CDS lie or hide information about our role in Afghanistan? IIRC,the last country that was in Afghanistan spun tales and lies about humanitarian missions,how much good they were doing and how Afghanistan wanted to be...

Just a quick question, If a Canadian flag sewn on your uniform is such a problem,why not acquire(read,purchace,not steal! ;)) a bassard of similar material,sew the flag,your cadet\combat identifier and your cadet rank on it and wear it with your uniform.This way: 1.you could not be mistaken for...
