Must Have Kit, Canadian Style

[aesop081]

I know that this is more of an army orientated thing but i can't go flying without my US helmet bag

 

[jonsey]

map and compass is always nice too  ;D

Howabout a uniform? It could get pretty cold with just some socks to cover you.



Unless you're one of the RHCP, then socks are all you need.

FOOD 

 

[Armymedic]

Rifle, ammo, socks, and boots   everything else is a luxury  

luxury would be proper fitting boots right for the enviroment we are in....

good gloves,

neck gaiter,

stuff sack pillow,

baby wipes,

a norgie coffe cup,

polypro underlayers,

bivy bag.

A lighter.  When it comes time to fire up the coleman in -42 weather, suddenly the smokers are popular individuals.

 

[Armymedic]

Forgot the lighter...

actually I carry a mini soldering torch.

 

[Sh0rtbUs]

bivy, bungee cord and all the gucci fleece  ;D

I invested a $1.00 for a army green lexan spoon at MEC drilled a hole in the handle and put a piece of 550 cord through it keep it around my neck so i allways have a good spoon for coffee or whatever.next a fleece scarf or head tube keeps the neck nice and warm.Bungee cords gods gift to the solider.

Hanwag Alaska GTX boots,

Own a pair and must say that these are a damned good pair of boots, and when worn with the right socks, are worth there weight in gold, there sold at Track 'n' Trail in Edmonton, heres a link -

I dont know, from experience if the Hanwag Special Force GTX are as good as mine, but if they are, im buying a pair when I go into the reserves 

 

[honestyrules]

I have to agree with Mars, the head lamp is sweet. The sleepingbag liner is good too, but i got the new ranger blanket/slleping bag liner kinda thing this weeks and it is good stuff!
