San Antonio

Nice light pack, I remember my days of having a pack in the military, way heavier.

 

oh man I've heard from friends that everything is still really heavy in the military. They'll still take the heaviest, most durable things possible.

 

My pack minus the m60 tri pod was 80lbs, I believe the pod was another 23lbs in top of that, plus ammo

 

The tall guy treatment sometimes it pays to be short

 

I can't even imagine having to carry all of that. I'd barely be moving anywhere with over 100 lbs on my back

Really have to respect the guys that do!

 

Ya short guys always made good foot stools

 

I'm right there with you on that!

 

I remember walking 8-15 clicks in the dark carrying that kinda wait, just to get on a helo and do it agin later in the day.

 

it was worth it to not get singled out for everything. tall guys in my unit are always color guard, at the front of every ceremony formation, and voluntold for everything. I'm always at the back of the formation just hanging out

 

Yep got called for all of those things,,, my last squad leader wanted me to be assigned to the old guard.

 

That would have been so much fun

 

Not!!!

 

It actually helps to be short when rucking. yeah your strides arent as long but it makes carrying that weight easier I think. at least for me

 

C&C at Cabelas...I do have a need for another set of neoprene waders.

 

My apprentice was just rolling the dice?.??

 

What job site are you working?

 

Hvac?

 

Nope metal worker, look at the cart
