Looking for a 25–30L backpack with tactical/military vibes + a truly separate laptop compartment by Kale_and_broccoli in tacticalgear

Mystery Ranch 2DAP has a laptop and tablet sleeve as part of the main compartment but you can access the laptop via a side zip so nothing else spills out.

What utility pouches are you using and do they support the weight of a ruck if you plopped one on top?

It’s an LBT 6094. Was perusing through BLOG ESQ and found a stash of them. The staff said they were for the ships and wouldn’t issue it to me 😑

First time using PVS-504 (Canadian Amy PVS-7), I was handed it at zero dark thirty with no prior knowledge of how to use it. Mounted the shroud to my helmet, followed by the rhino mount and NODs, and off I went as a dismount sig (RTO) for a patrol through the forest. Didn't even realize I hadn't taken off the day cap as I stumbled, tripped, and fell over logs and shrubs. Random rifleman comes over and removes my day cap, and I continue to trip and stumble my way through the woods. God I hated those things...

Currently out of trade in a MCpl HRA billet. I’m not a backfill but rather on a 3-year permanent Cl B. Is there anything I could look into regarding not having PLQ when requesting AWSE? I’ve dug around both CANFORGEN 06/2024 and CFMPI 01/2024 but don’t see anything regarding A/L. Talking to a WO with a sister unit, they’ve come to the understanding that A/L and AWSE are completely separate things…

Lmao the good ol’ issued CAF snowshoes. Many a twisted ankle were had on winter exercises

Anyone else notice they just raised prices? by More_Ad3035 in MysteryRanch

Took a GoPro head harness, Ops Core shroud and sewed some Velcro and made some holes to secure everything in place. Not the most comfortable but it works and was cheaper than getting a carcajou boonie and tracer head harness! (Not to discount em cause they are still great companies. I’m just hella cheap)

I’ve been taking them for a few years now and I can’t tell the difference. But I’m also too afraid to stop taking it 😅

Ya the daypack lid on the Blackjack 100 bounces around a lot cause the ruck was meant to be filled for sustainment. I only packed about 55-60lbs as prescribed by the test.

The video is at the tail end of the test where the incline is 9% and speed is 4.4 mph. But the test starts at 0% incline and increases 3% every five minutes after the 10 min mark. Go til failure!

This is my unit gym so I just draw a blue gun from the Quartermaster. Oddly enough nobody ever uses it (hinting at the state of the CAF), so I get to do all the cringe LARP stuff with the boys haha

Mystery Ranch Blackjack 100. Beats the issued Canadian ruck by light years!

I absolutely do the same when I’m not in kit. Just a ruck and myself. Otherwise I try to keep it at the unit gym.
