fett SG have both the 'bra' and 'corset' type of webbings. include all SOP items (bino, compass, knife etc) and i made it a point never to have food (other than SAF rations) on my personal gear. not a good example for my men, i feel.

fett SG it's a wonder we can still run around with this load sometimes we really lost track of the amount of 'trash' we lug with us until we start counting them
wuming78 SG hey! i dont consider what i carry in my sbo as trash - they are all important and all useful. in fact i have to prioritise what can go in cos of the limited amount of space, esp during exercises when there are real magazines and other stuff to carry as well. well... those are the days when i still could and loved to carry my sbo and run around. but now i dont think i can do that again!
lwflee SG Yea, its comms cord. I just edited your list btw, because i can't be arsed to rewrite the whole thing. So dun be surprised if the list looks like yours!
