ATS RAID II Pack with Frame Sheet - $100 This pack needs no introduction. Colour is "Ranger Green," I believe; similar to OD but with more grey. Well cared for, there are no rips, tears, holes, broken seams, or stains. Aftermarket glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls added to main compartment. Map...

Kifaru Zulu, 1st Gen, OD - $150 Purchased ~4 years ago, took it camping once. A little dusty, but otherwise perfect condition (I never even reshaped the aluminum stays). A fantastic pack, it's hard to let it go, but I just don't use it. Comes with standard lid, no hip belt.

Hey guys, Does anyone know where I could find one of the old issue sleeping pads? It's the black one that looks a bit like a camping air mattress. I've checked around in the surplus stores here in Montreal, but none of them have it. Cheers, Pinky

Does anyone have any pics of the DZ 6x6 utility pouch and DZ zip first aid pouch? Cheers, Pinky

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a Lightfighter RAID pack, preferably in black, but I will settle for OD. The newer the better. If you've got one that you need taken off your hands please post here or email me with your asking price (and a picture, if possible). I will be needing it for...

http://maxpedition.com/product/product_cocoon.htm Anyone used this pouch? Being a C9 gunner in my section I figured I might replace the bayonet frog with this on the front of my vest (keeping the frog in my ruck of course, just in case). I figure I can keep a flashlight, a marker or two, and my...

Hey everyone, Do any of you have any experience with Inova's tactical line of LED flashlights? I'm looking at the T2 specifically, and from what I can tell it looks pretty decent. I own one of their little keychain lights, and it has never let me down. Here's a link to their site...

I personally love the idea of modular kit, issue or not. I think that a person's equipment should be set up according to their objective, whether it be taking the trench or bird watching in the Rockies for a week. Shouldn't civvies be given the same ability to customize their gear based on what...

Hey guys and gals, Just wondering if any of you have any experience with the British Bergen ruck. I've been doing some research and from what I can tell the issue ones are pretty good pieces of kit. I've been thinking of picking one up, but I wanted to know what you folks thought of it from a...

Hey all, Just a quick question regarding the 1qt canteen. Mine's got a really funky smell coming out of it, and dishsoap didn't do a thing, even soaking over night. Any suggestions? Cheers, Pinky

EDIT: I just found what I was looking for, on this site even! Sorry if you wasted your time clicking here  :-\ Just a quick question folks: What are the specs for MOLLE/PALS webbing? The one place I found said it's 1 inch webbing stitched at 1 inch intervals, the strips spaced 1 inch apart...

Hey everyone, I've searched all over for it but I haven't been able to find any threads relating to HOW people set up their kit for marches and field exes. What kind of "tweaks" do you use (i.e. strapping a nuke bag to your ruck)? How do you attach kit (and what kit do you attach) to the outside...

Hey all, I'm thinking of getting an ALICE pack from a surplus for civvy use and I was wondering if anyone that has experience with the ALICE pack could tell me what they think of it. I currently have my issue 82 pat ruck with a 64 frame and would like to know how they compare in terms of...

Just a quick question concerning the new small pack from CTS. Does anyone know when (if?) reserve regiments in 34 brigade will be getting it issued? Cheers, Pinky

Hey everyone, I just got accepted for a driver's course starting 18 Dec 2004, but I completely forgot to ask when it finishes (I need to know asap because of potential conflicts). How long is a usual Driver's Course in the reserves? As a side note, what is your experience with course dates...

Figured everyone could use a little useless information that was actually correct  :D  Soap works because one end of the molecule dissolves in water and the other end dissolves in grease. When you rinse the water pulls the grease away using the soap as a sort of tow-rope. That's today's...

To everyone that read and thought very little of my recent poll: First and foremost, I would like to apologize. I have learned a valuable lesson about this forum and the army in general, which, ultimately, is what I set out to do. I would like to learn as much as possible about the Canadian...

Hey everyone, My application for the reserves has just finished (I‘ve been accepted, but have yet to swear in) and I was talking with my friend‘s sister, Heather. Heather‘s friend is in the military and he told her about a test where one must use all the training experience gained to out wit...
