m@tt-4576 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 After a couple minutes of searching the forum I'm relatively confident that this hasn't been posted before. So, like the title says, post pics of your packs. From those 3 day assault packs to the massive MOLLE IIs. And as a good poster should, I'll give the first picture.

apmaman Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) My lovely Multi-sham 3 days assault bag from Ebaybanned. Pretty tough little fella that I use almost everyday. Need to get some mag pouches for easy access bottles of juice. Edited January 11, 2009 by apmaman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HaVoC Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hoo boy Kifaru EMR and E&E, with other bits and pieces. Lived out of this for 3 months straight. Yes, it weighed a metric f***ton. With a cover, it looks like I have a body in there or something. Beaten on height, but not on overall size. I win! E&E in 'day hike' config. This is, indeed, the life.

Lerch Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 CPGear GenIII '64 Rucksack and my issued Small Pack. Those are my field packs right now, the packs that don't go out often are my issued 82 Ruck and CPGear OPS pack and Nuke bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench Bender Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Lerch, I like the application of the cat eye band. Is that a personal touch or something that is unit mandated? I just always had some bits of glow tape sewn on the top flap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just always had some bits of glow tape sewn on the top flap. Personal touch, I've been stockpiling helmet bands whenever I get a chance, and put them to use on packs and the old gas mask carriers (they were horrible if you needed to stash the mask quickly). Here's my score from today, the new issued Pelican 1630 case. Basically for the same purpose as my old footlocker, but as you can see...bigger Perfect for me since I'm moving on Wednesday.

-MOOSE- Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Lerch: What's the point of keeping your '64 Ruck so low? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Lower center of gravity = More stability (although, from what Badlands suggests, the most weight, for men, should be directly under the shoulder blades, right against the back, but above the small of the back).

the roob Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 my pack: 3col desert assault pack. pic taken on 2 day hike through swampland of florida. no airsoft =( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Lerch: What's the point of keeping your '64 Ruck so low? Comfort. After doing a few 13k marches with the old P82 rucksack, which has the main sack on top, it puts alot of stress on your shoulders. I've found the 64 to put the stress more on your back and less the shoulders, which after a long walk tends to be a good thing Aside from that the 64 frame compared to the 82 is MUCH stronger. It's similar to the ALICE frame in which it's a sturdy 'empty' frame, while the 82 is almost a wire latice that can be bent with little effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lerch Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 While trying to cut down on my private kit, I decided to make use of the old issued shitsack and make it better The only non-issue bit of kit on my ruck now is the kidney pad and the A7A straps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siygess Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Hey Skyflash, do you keep an online archive of your photos? Your earlier CAG pictures in particular were excellent but they're not visible any more. Anyway, here are my packs: Camelbak BFM in OD. Holds all my gear including my MICH.. except for my repro PACA because I can't bring myself to fold it to get it in! Blackhawk Slimline Load Bearing Pack. Now I just need an Omega medic vest to attach it to.. Thinkpad Backpack. Standard IBM issue, don't ya know! Edited April 1, 2009 by Siygess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyflash Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 well I have some archives here, I don't know if you can find what you search... http://mathieu.chirico.free.fr/reenactement/gear/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HaVoC Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Just got some goodies in the mail, courtesy of Kifaru: The E&E G1 isn't new, but the MOLLE Express G2 and Organiser are. Check the Woobie G2 in the last photo - that's new too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gbiscuit Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) So, all in all, how long did it take to get from your credit card to you? Oh yeah, un ban me while you're at it. Haha. Edited April 24, 2009 by gbiscuit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SgtBojangles Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) That Kifaru stuff is really expensive... I like my Camelbak Motherlode with my issued ACU cargo pockets and other stuff. It carries my books, three supplement shakers, a pair of shoes, my PT jacket, PT pants, a towel, my PT uniform (shorts, spandex, shirt, socks), deodorant, Ipod, and other small things. I lug it around on Mondays, Tuesday, and Wednesdays so I can go to the gym after classes. It can get pretty heavy, but that's ok. Pictures sometime?

I was quoted 8-10 weeks (usually 6-8 weeks) because of the rush on the G2 stuff. I was watching the website and put my order through within about 15 minutes of the new site going live with all the G2 stuff on it... Order placed on 24th February. Turned up on 23rd April. Work out the days for yourself. Worth the wait and expense? Abso-f***ing-lutely, as usual. Also had one slight hitch with the order but I rang them about it and they made it right within 15 minutes over the phone. Oh, and the Woobie is the real sleeper in this order. The pack and Organiser are cool and all, but the Woobie is just so cool. I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the money when I ordered it, but now I'm damn sure it was. So many uses, and so well packable!
