Main compartment measures 15 x11 x 3 inches. Inside there is a radio pouch which has an antenna hole in the top of the bag.
External features:

• 3 SA80 mag pockets each holding 3 mags.
• 2 pouches on the front for FFDs or Grenades.

• Molle fittings to attach extra pouches.
• Pocket on the back.
• Waist strap on the back.

Hmmm, well, this is turning into one of those maths problems they used to give us at school – "how long would it take you to empty the bath with a teaspoon and a thimble?" I always got into trouble for my answer which was, “I just pull out the plug!”. I can't screw my head around a piece of kit I wouldn't buy and a way of doing things that isn't me . If what you're after is a list of what any of us would carry on a day walk or a longer outing then just ask for that.

I use pockets and Snugpak and sometimes strap things on the outside depending on what I'm doing, how long for, where, when and who with. I even carry my Murmur on occasions ... there you go

top of the class perfect answer

because even though this is all theoretical for now because i am no where near good enough eventually i want to be able to turn up to a meet with this bag and my bed roll
and eventually without the bed roll

but one step at a time because as our very own Mad Mod Mad Dave would say

from iccle acorns big oak trees grow
