Final Verdict...Awesome! :o

Awesome looking kit, but how well does it work? Thought about ditching my mini-mag and getting a SureFire LED Flashlight...but with this kit, I could upgrade my mini-mag and have a cheap "SureFire-esque" LED flashlight that still fits in MagLite pocket on my TacVest.

It not just the cheap buckles; it's mainly how they are attached to the fabric, because of...

...and this is why so many "Tac Vest Sux" threads and horrible stories of the Vest's failure are abundant. With all the other shortcomings (could fill a page,) the Tac Vest needs a revision (at least improved manufacture.)

Yeah, anything but that, don't give them a reason to blame us for the vest's fragility (even though it's supposed to be mil-spec) and thus design something better (or, with our luck, something worse.)

I have the last-gen CADPAT Recce Patrol Pack by Wheelers (arguably the best pack they made for the cost-to-performance balance.) Padded back panel, padded shoulder straps (like the 82 ruck,) a 522 shelf in the main compartment (like the 82 ruck) and radio flaps on the lid for running wires...

...and who could forget MTV's "BEAVIS and BUTTHEAD" during the '90s... "Uh huh huh huh huh, you said 'head.' Uh huh huh huh huh." ;D "Yeah, heh heh hmm hmm, and 'butt,' heh heh hmm hmm heh heh." ;D

You should be talking to your QM about that. I know my regt made us at least keep the buttpack for use with the Tac Vest (since it has a shoulder strap built in it, you know, that thing you were told to tape up and forget about) and use it for raingear (or for other small items) but could use a...

Yep, he did (even I couldn't believe it.) I even saw people that had the fastex buckles on their field dressing pouches rip themselves out (after a few weeks) because the pockets were stuffed with kit (ouch.) Yep, it's not just lack of modularity and carrying capacity that make CTS's creation...

I remember this stuff like it was only yesterday...I'm even more surprised that other people do too!  :P

heh...CrapVest...I saw one of my buddies pull the zipper right off his (without even trying) the first night he had it.

Food in the '90s... Pepsi Crystal - It's Pepsi...but it's clear...like water...yay fake water! Cheetos Paws - Cheetos that were in the shape of Chester Cheetah's Paws...yum. Dunk a Roos - I'm sure some of you had these in a lunch bag at one point in life Pepsi Max came out the first time during...

Here's a great one...(seen it before) 16. Walk to the toy department with a lot of friends (namely ones who do stupid sh#t) and grab Nerf guns and start a Nerf War in the store. Ray Guns and anything that makes noise works too.

After using a nukebag to haul C6 ammo with my nuke bag (bunk) I got the Recce Patrol Pack in CADPAT (before CDN PCKPR became CP Gear Online) and haven't parted with it since. As a daypack, it's much better for carrying stuff (nuke bag's only good for light but bulky items like fleece) thanks to...

Another advantage with using Shaving Oil is it's mostly Aloe and natural oils (thus you can dump your shaving water anywhere when using it and it won't go wierd.) Lately, however, I try to go electric instead (but use Lectric Shave with Menthol) because my baby face can't take the punishing...

Ah the memories of my childhood... - Pogs (played at school constantly) - Devil Sticks (I had 3 sets) - Marbles (1990 equivalent craze of playing Jacks) - Colin James (before he played Swing Music for GAP ads) - Green Day (when preppie punk and swearing in lyrics was "rad!") - Mini-stick hockey...

This is usually used with "EN Force like to put Visine in your water when you sleep" to scare recruits in the field into staying awake.

Done and done.

I am surprised no one jumped at this...so I'll give it a whirl. Basically this thread is for April Fool's Day experiences...your best prank, the worst prank you fell for, e.t.c. ;D For my prank, my family and I put newspaper and FOR LEASE signs on the front doors of our convenience store (but...

Go to the A/V Department and put some violent movie (anything with swearing and gunfire) in one of the demo setups (preferably with a loud sound setup.) That'll teach 'em for always playin' annoying kids movies while you're shopping. ;D
