http://cgi.ebay.ca/MICH-Helmet-Replica-CADPAT-Airsoft-Kevlar-TC2000_W0QQitemZ6577107524QQcategoryZ36068QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not being a dweeb complaining about CADPAT. Look at the inside, those pads look strikingly similar to the ones I and a bunch of others have put in our helmets.  Might be...

I use a pair fo the MEC booties, that are like mini sleeping bags for the feet.  They are good enough for 2 trips out, any more and I am going to have to suffer gettting more kit together.  I usually brew a good tea just before bed, toss it in the thermos, and then have a hot beverage for the...

People that just strip down to long johns are still wearing all the dampness they produced that day, the nature of advanced wicking material though is that you can put a pound of liquid into the stuff and it feels dry, but don't be fooled, it isn't.  Just like if you ever fall through ice, the...

That was nice, I figure you would receive the same response if you said in your initial letter that you were a ten year old doing a project for school instead of a grown adult with valid concerns.  He may have full confidence in O'Connor, but so did the makers of the Titanic.  Keep sailing this...

Someday, I will have that job.  I keep pushing, and people keep resisting, I think it is cause I surf this site and ask valid questions. A cold sump is just the entrance of your tent, find the deepest snow that you can, deploy your 10 man tent on it, and then dig the entrance down while leaving...

Once your body adapts to the cold, it gets better.  To the point it is liveable.  Remember to always have a cold sump, a sleeping shelf, and sleep naked as you were born.

Lets just not talk about the new "Snow" shoes.

With a fleece liner, both bags, on an old black air matress, on a ground sheet, in an artic tent, with a stove going, in the Artic, I lived to write this after sleeping through temperatures in the low 50's.  Those little thermometers people buy from MEC and put on their zippers were bursting it...

Bivvy bags are 200 on ebay.  and there was three of them on there this week.  Go gettum.  Small packs, would run a bit higher cause they are newer.  Save some cash and get one of the decent aftermarket bags offered by all the online kit stores.  Spend no more than 200, and try to get a brown...

Mowag makes a 4x4 piranah, lets get that.  Or maybe chop some of the MTVL's into a super Lynx.

Just like BASF "We don't make what you use, we make what you use better" Coolmax is a material made by dupont, sold to standfields to be made into shirts.

Stanfields makes the undies, you can buy it at the outlet store for a really good price, Factory seconds of course, you can also get the heavier weight stuff, ours is mid wieght, and some light weight boxer shorts, which are surprisingly comfortable

All QM staff should be receiving danger pay.  I say this because with the new boxers ad sock system, we have to turn them in for exchange.  I think you guys need to push from your end to have the whole next to kin cash sales revisited.  You never know who is a spiteful, non laudring, bad driver...

I am diggin what mortar guy is saying, I have some questions to ask around the office now on Tuesday

Is it odd the way some believe that NDHQ is mentally retarded?  Do experienced officers normally leave units and say things like "we can do it better, for less, in Canada!"  Everyone is into this idea that NDHQ has a procure "Made in Canada" kit only mentality, that mentality is actually owned...

Stopped by the Princess on the way home from hockey this afternoon, and saw that they had the cam net spreaders on sale, not the rinky dink little metal ones with the webbing, but the big helicopter style plastic ones.  Anyway, walked around the store with one looking for an employee for a price...

There was a bunch of people in my office that had never seen a CADPAT bivy bag, until I brought a bunch of them to the Surplus store in Gatineau and showed them one.  This time last year.  I can almost guarantee you that there is ICE in the surplus stores.  Just leave it, ignore it.  I have...

If you build a Canada only dart, could you not transport the stuff by truck or rail?  Driving in shifts can get anything, anywhere in less than 5 days.

A great APV "Armoured Patrol Vehicle" which was its own job description, if we use them for close recce then that is our problem.  As a bigger, more robust vehicle that could end our long running "we need hummers thread" I see this thing as great.  And it is home grown.  Unfortunately we will...

Nuts to all the complaints, this is a big friggin truck that can finally mount the bigger guns, take a blast, and not tip on a hard corner.  This truck has been trying to get into the Army for a while, some of you might remember this as the Rhino, then the Eagle 4 and now the Duro Armoured...
