Talk about a Bug Out Bag!!??!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Those British know all about making bags and Soldier carry items for sure. With several generations of wars under their belt they know just what a solider needs and what is fluff!
That Mark 7 is NOT fluff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
