For starters,she says in the description that they are the current issue WWB.Second off she states that the color is black.It's probably just a photo error. You can get Gortex boots in all types of colors and patterns.Just go to any hunting\outdoor shop and take a look.Also,does anyone have any...

Your in the same boat as me in regards to all the new shiney kit.I'm here in Wx at a second line unit so we'll be the last to see any of it.I still don't have the tac vest or any of the other fancy stuff discussed here. :'( Small pack system would be nice for those short trips to the field...

I really don't like the "black" sock.I find that my feet slip around in them and this causes me to get awful blisters. I love the new grey sock.Combined with my orthodics and Danner boots it feels like I'm walking on air.There thick,warm and always soft.

Canadian Peacekeeper is also modifiying alot of thier stuff now to be MOLLE compatiable as well and in real CADPAT fabric as well as Olive drab.

Danner Acadia's.Best pair of boots I've ever owned.A bit heavy,not as clunky as the WWB though,but super comfortable.

I use a 64 pattern frame with the 82 pat bag,yoke and back pad.On the valise straps and the straps of the main flap I've mounted fastex clips, to cinch it down the pack even smaller.I also mount my hydration bladder either under the main flap,or outside with "aligator"straps. I'm thinking I...

Not going to beat a dead horse....... They are junk.

Alot of people live on base for various reasons.It could be convinience(I for one like leaving for work at 0745 and still make it on time to have a smoke,chat, get a coffee and start at 0800),cost of local housing(the property around Wain world has sky rocketed with the influx of people),or the...

I'm waiting on a new digital camara to show up soon so I can post pics here for all to see.I don't think it violates any security issues-just spoils the fun of hearing all the "what the heck is that" and all the rumors that can start as to thier origin,honestly the LAV looks kinda hokey,but the...

Thanks everyone for tje info! I hope to post pics of the OPFOR vehicals form Wainwright soon....

I was wondering how to upload pics to my posts.I'm getting a digital camera and have no experience in this area.Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

I just recieved my hydration pack(minus bladder) from Peacekeepers tody.I bought this item on a whim(I have a serviciable Hydrastorm already)because my other hydration pack is in desert pattern and this one is olive(I missed out on the CADPAT,but oh well,olive never goes out of style) and just...

Ah yes....Shack hack! Learn to love it because anywhere you go and live in a close setting ie:barracks,that flu follows with you.The best part is it hangs around forever,and when you finally get over it,you get the new and improved version! I could tell you a story about a whole room in Gagetown...

EME is Army owned.Period At one time in our life,EME (or more accuratly LORE)existed in the RCAF as well.Thats why we have light blue as one of the colors on the branch flag. After spending 2 years in Borden on PAT,I hav'nt seen a single non-army tech pass through the school,and highly doubt...

I dug this up to illustrate what I think is alittle overboard. http://army.ca/forums/threads/18144.0.html

Good points for both sides. Since I already admitted to being a gear slut,I'll try my best to remain impartial and carry on a proper conversation. Your statement referance"you dont need gucci kit to be effective...."is a sore point with me.Yes,you are right,most of the issued kit is all you...

In regards to non-issue(kitshop) kit?We all understand that you can't waltz around in another countries uniform on ex but with all the options of "snivel kit" that exists out there,where do you draw the line? I was talking to one of the local reserve guys today and the topic of kit came up.He...

What kind of stories are you looking for? Is it the ole"One time,at recruit camp...."type or is it more than that?

My old reserve regiment(1st (Halifax-Dartmouth)Field Artillery Regiment,RCA)paraded from 7-10pm on Tuesday night,and we had about 1-2 working weekends a month(sometimes more depending what you were doing).Most times when I took the bus,I shot to be at work around 6:30.This gave you time to chat...

I've scanned through,but maybe I don't understand the whole concept.Everyone talks about this"point system "that you can redeem for kit.The only thing I get when prompted for payment is visa or mastercard.where can I find how many points I have accumulated or is this a reserve only feature?
