>>2459146Bit over 50. Not much to tell from my side, conscripted, did my service, went home after.
>>2459178Remember the one time the Yanks induced a standing wave in Ivans gas pipeline till it exploded?
Lots of stories to be told, but none has me in it.
>>2459179>Osprey ExosNot a bad pack to be honest. I remember when it came out, very different from anything on the market.
I myself am still crying that nobody reinvented Berghauses Bioflex, which basically is a hip belt on a swivel. Mine is almost fallen apart. The Berghaus Biolite 50 is the only that really sits 100% on your hips, the shoulder straps are basically just so it doesn't fall over backwards.
>>2459262Since i only shot the G3, i can't compare it to anything. Got a Silberne Schützenschnur, which means i wasn't completely helpless with it. We didn't have the TPU magazine pouches, i think ours where leather. Well, it's more than 30 years in the past, i'm sure someone made a website about the stuff.
I for one hated the alu canteen, it always smelled funny. I also hated the Pickpot, the mess kit, it's just idiotic. It has a stupid form, you can't properly eat out of it, to hot to hold in your hand, food got cold almost in seconds.
Backpack and sleeping pad where good, good enough to be used today.
I also liked the Parka, the boots, trousers and shirt. Socks where fine, as where tshirts.
The poncho was a nightmare, as was the rubberized sleeping bag, see picrel, what where they thinking? It was a condensation magnet.
>>2459326Just put some stuff under it when it's cold/hard. It's very comfy just laying on the forest floor with it.
