Sorry I was driving to a friends - or we would have had it sooner (Infidel6 posting on Jay's login)

Watch the reruns, Rays are not mammals. hehe

His zoo was incredible. A very different approach, very interactive. You can waltz right into the Kangaroo pen and hang out. There are wombats walking around on leashes. Koalas Hanging on you like a backpack. Predatory birds flying around.  It seemed every pen you walk up to is just about to...

I love my bivvy bag, but if it is a reasonably dry night I lie in my sleeping bag on top of the bivvy bag.  I tend to get a little moist inside the gore-tex.  Funny story. One night in Minnesota, in a patrolbase, I went to ground (lucky me).  Beside me was Infidel-6 in a light green bivvy bag...

Strong, simple and to the point.  Put that man in parliament.

There is a section of Rui Amaral's book "Eat your weakest Man" about the smock I think.  If not then there is a whole small book just on the smock.  The pattern and material are actually an over-run from the contract for the Tanzanian Army in the late 1960's. Hence the rather unique pattern.

We never got any concussion grenades, just lots of the new C13 version of the M67 frag.

Dave, alot of double boiled linseed oil and very fine sandpaper in your future.  See you on www.canadiangunnutz.com.  I have restored a few No 4's you will enjoy it labour and all. It sounds strange but start off cleaning the wood with oven cleaner to remove 60 years of grease....

George, lay off  a little will ya.  Dr Mindbender has a very valid point.  The Canadian female officer in theater that spoke to us post -incident was in way over her head despite her  education and qualifications.  The American Sgt. younger and with combat experience at the same debriefing was...

Paracowboy, a big +1.  I bought my "64" complete for $45 cdn when I was twelve. I will be thirty next month , have used it on five tours and God knows how many ex'es and I am still using the original rubber bag of 1973 manufacture.  (a few recent gun tape patches) ;)

The ever-present rifle and blank ammo allthrough training is one of the best ideas I have ever encountered.  It is even more important in the support trades where one constantly encounters deployed soldiers so afraid of their weapons and of having an ND that they don't load them, or leave the...

The diemaco plastic crappy back up sight is still issued. :(  I-6 my good back up wouldn't stay torqued on the Canadian upper due to the different specs. >:(  As stated above several times and in other weapons threads  Get the blessing of the chain of command before attaching anything usefull to...

Yea, if you want magnification, go for the Acog TA31 4x mag.  Price is about the same @ $1000CDN 

No doubt, but I figured better there than laying on the ground.  Though it couldn't  have made it much dirtier.  Thank God for the air hose on the LAV. :)

Well  said Bndkst.  I am anxiously awaiting the release on the rest of his footage.  RED DEVILS
