PM function seems to be NS

I guess it will.

The ruck can be put on quickly, throw it on your back and start walking.  However, by putting it on, and adjusting it before you start out, it will be more comfortable.  Remember that the Hip belt is an integral part, but not a critcal part.  By doing it up and adjusting it, you can make the...

Feed back should be coming once the folks being issued it right now start writing.  I do know that when it is not assembled correctly it is uncomfortable and when put together properly, it can handle some pretty heavy loads comfortably.  The 1st is very simple, an intro to the parts and the...

Anyone from Shilo interested in commenting on their rucks today or tomorrow?  See you all in Edmonton next week to teach you how to assemble, wear, and use your new rucks.

Didn't realize the US was using them for their helmets as a standard item.

I also have the Skydex pads in my helmet right now, and am still trying to find info from the company about "Behind Face Deformation" test results.  If your helmet gets hit with something, that doesn;t physically penetrate it, the kinetic energy will still go into the interior.  my question that...

Give these respective organizations a call, and ask about thier coverage.  They will be mor ethan happy to tell you, and even refer you to documents that will support what they say. Failing that, I couldn't imagine you not being covered if your eyes get screwed while wearing non issue glasses...

Tell me who, cause my clothes need a cleaning.

This all works out well for me, I am crossing the border some time this weekend to buy a new Washer and Dryer team.  Savings should be around 500 bucks after the fuel, food, and GST/PST are calculated into it.  NAFTA works for me.

The simplest way to describe it is two compression sacks sewn together, the top one faces up, the bottom one faces to your rear.  O, when the bag is standing up, th ebottom if empty is floppy, but the top can be filled, and compressed with the straps.  If the ruck is laying down, on the shoulder...

Couldn't tell you Matt, I kow it got thrown from a plane a bunch of times and survived, all be-it in the drop bag.  A benefit of the composite/fiberglass rods is that over time, they won't degrade in performance, until they actually fail, much like the hockey sticks.  The materials are less...

At this point, I have not seen a broken load transfer rod, I have some experience working with this new ruck, and can say it is a much better item than before, I have todl this to Matt on the phone, but have still yet to put on the armour and check the fit.  Perhaps today.  Carrying outsized...

Did the Taliban have a huge tank force before 2001 that required the US to use DU penetrators?  I am on the Out of A-stan site, and it seems that there are very gruesome pictures of young children that have been diagnosed with DU suffering.  Not to try and out these people as unfounded fruit...

There is always two sides to a story, non issued kit can be great, think stealth suits, and bivy bags back in the day, even boots.  BUt the problem arises when people have no concept of what they require, and buy stuff off the cuff, through hear say, or because of glossy magazines.  Everyone...

Totally argee with the mitten strings, but mine are run through my parka, and the cord runs along my back, inside the outfit.  I have also seen people remove the threads in the old white cord and run the dog tag chain through it, but leaving it untied, keeping the chilly metal of the skin.  I...

Don;t wear things around your neck, unless they are on break away chains.  Paracord will hold a para trooper, jumping from the back of a truck, it will hold you as well, by the neck.  In the dark, or on the move, your buddies may not realize until to late that you are "hanging around" the...

Sole insoles are also available in the Ottawa Physio clinic at HCC.  I used them in a trial a few years ago, loved them, and got the press kit from the company that I dropped off at the clinic.  At they time they only had the Sorbothane, Superfeet, and Birks insoles.  When I went in there a few...

The unit always had the issued Canadian ones with the 4 small arms and webbing in between, they open like a small umbrella, but in a strong breeze, one of the arms can pop up, and the entire unit then folds up like a brollie.  Once this happens, the net is held up only because it is tangled in...

CFD Mountain view still lists there being some Kiowa's in storage http://antonakis.ca/12102005.php#9 Maybe with the mini gun and some new missiles?  They are stored indoors....
