Hi guys, Sorting out the kit today came across a few bits - one that might interest you is a pretty much brand new bulldog lycan pack. I have only used it once or twice, I did put black and nasty on the main carry handle (dont ask why) but I can easily remove that. I will post the link to a...

No question what this is... Yes, I am slightly Loco for paying this much for what is basically a glorified small ALICE pack/Short back bergen. Made of 1000D Cordura, it weighs about 3kg empty with all the accessories strapped on ( Medium belt pouch on lid, MOLLE pouch on front, Grab-It and GPS...

Yesterday I had the good fortune to run into a friend who just demobbed from the Royal Marines. He had some kit he wanted rid of as he 'has no desire ever to sleep outside again'. (Fool!) I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Among other bits of kit, I bought an unused British Military Issue...

I have an older Karrimor Sabre 45 (the one with the unpadded waist belt and with out the molle attachment tapes) with the 2 detachable side pockets. Is there a way to attach an extra pocket to the front of the sac? Any one got any ideas as to how to improve the waist strap? Cheers Dave

(FYI, today i use a short back OG PLCE bergen) My comment BCUK 22-06-2006 basically I swapped my DPM PLCE long back Bergen for the Snugpak in a bargain deal I thought was great. problems I have came up with: No shoulder tensioners the ones that go from your...
