Hello,
I am seeing Canadian poncho liners aka ranger blankets at surplus stores.
I have US ones and the Canadian ones seem heavier and maybe coated.
Which are the pros/cons of one vs the other?
Very nice kits, similar to mine.
Are you using the small or large mess tin? I have the small and they fit into an ALICE mag pouch if you slide the handle down the side.
Apart from the mess tin, I have to carry SOL Heetsheets on the outside of the tins. This is ok if you keep both together...
Goop is great stuff. I was on a civy winter survival course but my sleeping bag was in a poor carrier so it got wet. While drying the bag over a fire I was slow to notice that my rubber pacs were melting like marshmellows! Once home I used Goop on the very large hole and the boots were good for...
I started to use seam sealent but there are too many tiny spots hwere light shines through the shelter half, although the fabric is perfectly fine.
Anyone recommend a brand of waterproofing? Maybe something I can get at MEC?
Is spray or paint on more suitable? Silicon or urathane based...
Looking for a surplused 82 pattern pack yoke, but in unused condition if possable. I'll be using it on a 82 pack but with 64 frame.
Mine has a tear on one shoulder just before the padded cloth part meets nylon webbing.

I got a 82 pattern rucksack (surplused with a D) and all the plastic parts are black.
Anyone have history on these? Were they R&D models, samples, a rushed order when they ran out of OD hardware?
I am looking to buy IMP parts from guys on here. Side dishes, spreads, etc., anything you didn't eat.
I have emergency packs for my GF and I and would like to add 3 days worth of non-cook foods then add backpacker meals.
Yes I know there are civy alternatives but I like a lot of the IMP...
NBC bag was not issue gear but after market, broken buckle.
Mag pouches had divider cut out, condition stated as worn, but modification not stated.
Buttpack increadably frayed, certainly not "like new condition"
All gear really really stuck, as in smelly unwashed gear. Found freezie wrapper...
Thank you for the reply Sgt. I know it is a sensative issue here but military surplus has been worn by civies for many years and most of it brought from authentic surplus stores. From what I've seen, the military will throw something out for the most minor reason, sometimes these reasons don't...
So that's where they all went! I saw them too along with the carry bags but no netting. Thought they were useless, but apparently not lol.
The signal panels may be good for your car if you get stuck. The webbing straps include hollow climbing webbing in nice army green. These can be used to...
Yeah I know, "read the label", but I am a man and don't need no stinkin label! :dontpanic:
Actually, anyone know how many pairs of holes are in small, medium, large belts? I figure that would be the best way to tell when the labeling wears off.
