A bit off topic..... Ban drive throughs, thorugh out all of Canada.  This would solve a bunch of problems problems 1.  Shutting down the cars would eliminate all the pollution created by all the iddling cars wating at the Timmies driver through on the weekend 2.  People would be forced to...

Auction is coming this week, 8 and 9 Feb.  Army textiles and material are on the block.  If youfe thinks you have to much stuff now, image when you have 6 pallets of snowshoes or 8 tri-walls of boots delivered.

First Looney's came out in 1987, that means that most people 20 and under have never seen a 1 dollar bill.

There is plans in the Triple S project to deal with all of these problems.  (see ISS thread above) Once the new snowshoes are sorted, life in the hills should be a bit better.  The list for SSS is quite extensive, and should cover everything you have isted off.  The only thing I would add is...

I was a "model/talking dummy" for CTS/DLR stuff when I worked there for 2 years.  I still get some stuff out of them, and can answer questions on most of the stuff inservice or coming someday...

The ones pictured at the top of this thread are very roomy units, don't confuse these "one man tent's" with hooped bivy's.  The ones at the top have 4 poles, two large ones that criss cross at the head, and two smaller ones that cross at the feet.  There is provisions for pegs, which when...

http://lightningpacks.com/ Companies website, seems like a good idea ot transform wasted energy into useable electricity.  Less batteries if you could just plug all your gear into your load carriage system.

Wieght wise, I compared it to the inservice groundsheet and bivy bag, and it came in about 100 grams lighter.  rolled up it is about the size of a loaf of bread, and can be compressed smaller, in girth, as the poles are fiberglass, and somewhat less compresible than the material.  It isn;t show...

From what I have heard, ISS has morphed into SSS (Soldier Surviviabilty System) It will be a complete re-jiggin of all the little items needed for a troop to live, like the one man shelter, possibly new crew tents, pack style stoves, and a hockey sock of other business like flashlights, new...

Fire up the old twin 35's, I think they are quick enough to spin around and engage in the 6400 mil spectrum.  We have them in the inventory (awaiting a buyer), people still know how to use them, we probably still have ammo, they are on a trailer, and I figure they would destroy anything put in...

I did the JLC/JNCO in Pet the last year it was running.  Great course, lots of stress and hard work, but much better than the courses I watched buddies going on in subsequent years.  I was doing my DP3 Arty in 2004 and saw a PLQ course get pulle din from the field to do laundry on a wednesday...

Next one is 4 and 5 January, I normally go before hockey.

I have a real bad feeling that you are going to be let down. On the other hand, I went to the Government Auction this past week.  Tri-walls of boots, from danners to swats, to the new desert boot with tags still on them, BEW, NEW 5 man Arctic tents, NEW dry suits, wetsuits, winter whites, and...

Ask for assistance at clothing stores, there are two models of beret kicking around, the ones form Logistic hang to the floor, the older models, from a different company, that had the contract before Logistic, are almost carbon copies of the cloth band berets, but witha  leather band. Easy way...

Sounds like it could work, I just don't know how well.  Within my unit, my detachment is made up of myself (Class B) my 2ic (full time day job) and my det of 8 guys (7 are students and 1 with a full time job).  A 2 week exercise in Wainwright may work for me cause I am on the armies time anyway...

HLVW are being mid life upgraded instead of replaced right away.  Such a big truck to replace the 2.5 ton is to handle the armies bigger kit.  M777 with Ammo, engineer stuff, even 105's with det and ammo.  the MSVS from Oshkosh is a big truck, with a seven ton capacity, but it fits in a herc...

The lower your pole is set the warmer the tent becomes. Dont bury the ousides, just a few inches of snow to keep the wind from lifting the edges.  Any more and you won't be able to role out the side when your tent is lit on fire by someone being silly. Try and sleep on an ice shelf, about a...

Matt, Does that mean that I won the "suggestion competition" Back when that was running I went from the top down, and we are now at the "down" part.  They should be in the mail then right.

Another resounding endorsment of the Bates Assault line.  PhilB did you get the Desert version of the M6 or wa sit just the black one?
