Got the idea for this thread off another military forum.The idea is to post what kit you carry in the field if you are currently serving and what you used to carry if you are an exer.No comments on each others set ups are allowed.Just list your kit.We can always learn something new from others.Particularly interested to hear from our posters from foreign Militaries and our veterans who can post what they carried before we went all Gucci.
