    Using the method in this video you can get the length of your back and then adjust your bergen yourself seeing as most place don't seem to have the stick yet.
    The bergen has the back length in inches written beside each adjustment position.
    Very good, nice one F_M....

    • We have the bare bones too, bought my own dump pouch.

      Really with nothing written in stone, its going to be different from unit to unit.
      It is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

        "No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

        • Dump pouch, you can get them for a tenner from China. Don't put anything on your legs if you can avoid it.

            I bought one of these and have it on one of the side pouches of the vest.

                `
                Remove rear strap from issue dump pouch.Place strap in secure location so it doesn't get lost.Attach pouch to vest at left hip.Tighten straps till pouch top is just below bottom hem of vest.Tape straps.pouch will be empty most of the time so wont bounce.When needed all you will have in it is empties anyway(max4).

                Also seeing as most of you don't get issued Respirators you can attach the Resi pouch to the front of the bergen or side of the patrol pack.makes a handy pouch for your basha kit!

                  I posted on this already in the "Good kit/helpfull hints forum".
                  Why do you ask? Areb the RDF issued the IPLCS now?
                  A lot of sense here. Must rejig the pouches on my vest before I hand it back in

                            • Issue hexi cooker with adapter for metal mug.
                              Issue plastic mug instead of metal one.
                              Another win for the army!

                                I have seen those but the latest ones I saw in crates the other day were the good BA type ones with the full size hexi blocks.
