Great pics Tyger thanks. I noticed you got Eric's sheath in their as well ,I am sure he will be stoked. You guys are doing a hell of a job over there. i can't even comprehend +44C in the shade with body armor on. Thanks for taking those photos ,I know you had more important things to do.
I am not really a fan of the Scrapyard kydex for the DF's. I bet the nylon sheath would have been a better choice. I think kydex is not a great choice for anything over a 7 inch blade.
With the SS4 and DFLE you have the 2 best scrappers.
So those tents have to be air conditioned right?

Thanks guys. Yeah Unsub, those mod tents are set up with 2 air conditioners, one at the front and one at the back. They take a fair amount of the heat away at night while you're sleeping, but if you're say on a night shift and trying to sleep during the day, it's still plenty hot in there. There's no real great way to seal them, so heat from inside leaks in and the A/C leaks out, not to mention that sun beating down on the mod.
That wasn't even the worst part though; several times during the rainy season, I woke up to roll off of my cot to slap my feet down into a lake of water. Not pleasant at all, the ground is so much compressed dust and it's flat, so the water just pools everywhere.
So nice to be back in my own bed, free of lakes of water and boiling heat!
