Add fire starting and water collection and purification tools. One gallon of water each won't last long.

good post!

Didn't see any extra magazines

You may want to switch that flashlight out for an LED, will last longer and the bulb won't break, and weigh less

Also i'd remove alot of the stuff that's still in the packaging, saves space as they hold air etc

Not sure what you have in the square blue container but it looks bulky

Missing toilet paper?

Fire starting kit?

1st aid?

I picked up a new to me bob at a yard sale the other week. I paid 5 bucks for it and the guy gave me a tactical vest. I was just wondering if any one know what type of bag it was and what the buckles on the belt are for. There are two on both side that fold away in to the pockets. If I don't need them I'm going to cut them off. If you know anything about the bag please share.

That was a Rucksack that the army tested in the early 90's it was supposed to replace the Alice pack. It was not the greatest. The "day pack" strapped to the top was odd shaped and really too small to fit much in. The straps are quick release attachment points for quick release straps that attached to the D rings on a parachute harness. Pretty much dead weight when you hit the ground.

My unit at the time briefly tested them and they were unsuitable for airborne ops. They were too long/tall and very bulky to move around in the planes with. Guys would trip on them trying to walk with them attached. They also tended to catch wind and spin jumpers up pretty good. Thankfully they and the combat vests (They were also very awkward to rig in a harness) were short lived and we went back to Alice packs and the old load carrying equipment.

I preferred the Alice pack but everybody is different and different things work for different people. If it works for you, use it.

The H20 filter straw, is that the LifeStraw that has been advertised on F.B.? I have the big Katedyn that will pump 13,000 gals. of water before you replace the filter.(ceramic)
