MilitaryMorons website just did a review of our new Rider, Dagger, and Razor 3L systems as well as our ILPS and WLPS reservoirs: http://www.militarymorons.com/equipment/packs4.html#source2 http://www.militarymorons.com/equipment/outdoor.html#sourceilps Anybody using these yet?  Feedback?

Resurrecting this 4 year old thread as I am one of the North American Representatives for Source Hydration. I'm looking for any feedback, either positive or negative regarding Source Hydration products that milnet.ca members may have been using, whether it be the Tactical WXP 3L system...

For anybody who's a Scotch whisky aficionado who's at Gagetown, a little known fact is that the Lunar Rogue pub in Fredericton has been awarded a 'Gold' ranking by Whisky Magazine as an outstanding whisky bar in terms of the quality of its whisky appropriate glassware, its range of whiskies, the...

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have Dalmore as the Regimental Whisky of the Seaforth?

What's the worst issue with donning the rig?  Having to put it over your head each time you put it on/take it off?  Or the way that you have to reach to the  back to fasten the buckle?

Anybody on the boards get a chance to use the SORD trial rigs in theatre? If so, how durable did you find the Velcro shoulder strap adjustment/retention system? -did the shoulder straps ever slip apart or become disengaged? How secure were the side panels on the rig?  -did they flop around...

Whilst I believe while the Canadian government and its Canadian Armed Forces should provide support and a degree of security to Canadians living abroad, that ultimately some degree of personal responsibility lies with those citizens who've made the decision to live abroad. Getting 20K citizens...

Good knee pads are a solid investment.  Elbow pads on the other hand are a 'so-so' item.  Granted, they do help with respect to reducing bashing your elbows all up, but given that the only time they're used is when you're firing in the prone position, the amount you use them is often times not...

You may not be that far off from what happens in the future regarding garrison/field training uniform vs. a true combat uniform. FR fabrics would be used for the 'Combat Uniform', i.e. CF Hybrid Shirt, USMC FROG Uniform, or US Army FR ACUs/Army Combat Shirt, etc.  Shirt would be the 'Hybrid'...

AT4 is used in the Marine Corps as a squad level anti-armor weapon similar to how the M72 is used.  It's not just the HMG platoon that gets these.  As far manportability of the Mk19, very very very rarely is it ever carried by hand very far.  Usually employed in the dismounted role for defensive...

I talked with a footwear manufacturer back in December that will be bidding on the contract when it comes out.  DND is about a year behind schedule with this program.  It'll probably go out for tender sometime between now and September, with the contract being awarded in October.  First fielding...

Photo of the latest version of the Temperate Combat Boot is on the Clothe The Soldier Project website:  http://www.forces.gc.ca/aete/temperatecombatboot-bottepourclimattempere-eng.asp Looks to be that they've decided to go with a brown boot which uses full grain leather, a Cordura upper, and a...

Woah, So a Highland Regiment RSM would in fact be carrying a pace stick, sword, dirk, and a sgian dubh.  1 martial stick, and 3 lethal blades... talk about a parade square ninja!  ;D

I largely agree with what George is saying.  Despite being in close geographic proximity, outside of Brigade level Ex's (when is the last time we ran a full on BTE... 2004-6?) where units garrisoned in Edmonton would be operating out of Suffield, Wainwright, or Shilo in a field environment...

I wouldn't be surprised if before too long either CPGear, ICE Tactical, Dropzone, or somebody else have a commercial version of this thing available, with or without some improvements.

I was told a few months ago through the grapevine that DND had licensed SORD's design for their rigs and pouches.  With that said, even if they hadn't unless something is specifically patented or has some other sort of IP protection, i.e. registered industrial design, design patent, trademark...

I wouldn't know as I haven't been involved with that organization since December 6th, 2010. Cheers, Matt

This could be somewhat easily done as a non-permanent mod using field repair hardware, some extra 1" webbing, and some DIY ingenuity by the user.

The rig is in fact the SORD 'SCS Chest Rig Front' http://www.sordaustralia.com/details.php?catid=162&parentid=84&checkpage=1&oldpage=1 and the SORD 'SCS Chest Rig Back' http://www.sordaustralia.com/details.php?catid=165&parentid=84&checkpage=1&oldpage=1 I'd be surprised if the risk averse CF...

The system which Sully describes sounds very similar to what Mystery Ranch have come up with in terms of the NICE Crew Cab system:  http://www.mysteryranch.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5850/.f?sc=7&category=50  As 64 pattern frames become increasingly difficult to source, I'd suggest that you have a look at...
