Wow snickers 😂

@Prepared Pathfinders when one is using a compass is it used the same as the cammenga vs silva brands

Great series. 1 2 3 + survival tin!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Def wondering what a modern kit would look like now for a british sas. Video idea if you have the resources.

People don't realise that even the manufacturers who make these rations say that they shouldn't be consumed for more than 21 days. This is because they are TOXIC! There's an abnormal amount of preservatives and crap in this stuff. Yet we go on tour for 6-12 months lol. Enjoy. :)

I hope you check the stability of the surrounding trees before setting up, a lot of campers die by falling trees.

You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite military gear and skills channels. I bought a DZ Rig after your review. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of that kit. Time for a CF2 I think. Much respect for the British Army. Top notch soldiering all around. Anyway, Cheers from Alaska!

Wonder what you think of a heavier machete type knife like a ESSE Junglas. Have one of those and would think it would work great for the jungle, unless your swinging it all day clearing a path to walk through (cuz its heavier).

Great review! Might have to buy one. Been looking for a good "assault pack", and this thing is so modular. Love the tiger stripe cammo. Looks almost like a hunting pack vs screaming "military" which is good for me being just a civilian if im trying to blend in with non mil.

I never understood why the bergans weren't waterproof

I hated plc bergan. Simply because they only had short or long back. That never made any sense to me. Should have done a medium as well. Or adjustable back frame, external frame is a godsend so your back is vented even in temperate climate. This looks a great bit of kit. mesh side pouches is great idea. Ive got them on ecm daysac. Good review as always. I used to laugh when we attempted to do contact drills with bergans on. Not a chance of getting away. Only option would be to dump them and leg it. But we paracticed time and time again with them on. Better than that was contact drills on skis or snow shoes. Even better fun. Those were the days. Groin strains a plenty. i never understood why cspep was so small. It used to be a nightmare trying to fit bergan etc.

I can hear the chinese copycats rubbing their hands...

Iv had my SPUR since 2006 ish. Looks as good as the day i bought it. No busted buckles ir flayed stitching. Solid gear and great investment. The harness and frame system is amazing on long range ops.

Got to be said : That Ribz rig looks suspiciously like my old lady's bra. Just sayin'.

Cracking video Tom 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and load outs atb

I wonder how many parachutes are buried in the dirt in the Middle East

Great video and review, taking notes on your production as well!

Ich habe den CF2 bestellt und bin begeistert von der Funktionalität und Verarbeitung. Fast perfekt, bis auf den Reißverschluss, der im Gegenteil zum restlichen Material leicht wasserdurchlässig ist. Auch vermisse ich die Abdeckplane des DG16 wenn man nämlich den zusätzlichen, großen Deckel abnimmt. 2 Seitentaschen fehlen leider auch (wie beim CF3) so dass man lange Gegenstände zwar hinter den zusätzlichen Taschen hindurch stecken kann, diese aber dann durchrutschen und herausfallen. Ansonsten perfekt. 🙂 Ehr enttäuscht bin ich vom zusätzlichen, großen Deckel der laut Website auf den DG16 und auf den CF2 passen sollte. Hier liegt definitiv ein Konstruktionsfehler oder Produktionsfehler vor. Enttäuscht bin ich auch vom Kundendienst von Crossfire. Auf 4 E-Mails inklusive Fotos des Fehlers kam innerhalb von 14 Tagen nicht eine einzige Antwort. Das ist enttäuschend und für mich nicht verständlich! 😞

A "kit pest" I felt that...

Another great video. Really inspired me to get outside more.

Good vid but I’m pretty sure that’s not how cache is pronounced

Nice one mate👍

Great review, very helpful. Thanks 👍

Pretty sweet pack! Nice that it is ripstop nylon! Thanks brother for the review!

Give me mountains or desert all day, the jungle is for the birds 😂

Ordered mine a week ago to replace my work field bag. Looking forward to something will handle the weight better! Great review man. One day when im a rich man, im gonna buy one of the larger bags too

Looks like one hell of a ruck Tom. Thanks Nate

Great video as usual with loads of relevant info. It would be interesting to see a video of what you take wild camping in the UK. The kind of things you'd take would obviously be different from a military setting but it would be interesting to see what you think you should take.

Great review from a proper kit pest. Way to go Tom. Once a pest always a pest. Ive got the issue ecm daysac. But literally just waiting delivery of the issue 40ltr mtp daysac. Just for fizz carry. Ps i visited bug out the other week. I was a Proper kid in a toy shop. Spent 600 quid or so. Money well spent. He has a great little set up .

Looks like a really sturdy bit of kit 👍🇬🇧

awesome review, Great pack

I love my Crossfire packs ! Excellent packs for sure ! 👍👍

£310 for a packback! Unless it comes with an exoskeleton that carries the load for me that's far too much! I get it if your job relies on it.

You really need to stop reviewing CF packs. As soon as you mentioned the daysack lid, I knew it's going to cost me...

The rolls royce of rucksacks.

Does is compare well with belt kit?

If one can only replenish water at the end of the day of climbing, even during a hot summer (such as we just had in Croatia - and that means QUITE a few liters), one can easily fit enough for 3 days if extending the size with external pouches.

Hi Sir, im on the path to recovery from having a full replacement hip, and are hoping to do more tabbing in the future, fan dance and sponsored walks for help for heroes, i was thinking of the Berghaus crusader or the crossfire what are your thoughts sir, thanks in advance, David your a true inspiration and thank you for your service

Our MREs (US) we use the actual brown bag for the main meal, taped like you did. Snacks go in pockets and keep the coffee. I would keep electrolytes and would eat them like a pixistick.

I just got a dz right as my first step into lbe. What Iv finding is what is the appropriate way to fit it to your body? Should the buckle be in line with my belt or more by my bellybutton? Also shoukd the back side be above the butt on the lower back?

I'm still working on assembling this, but I've started by getting an Esbit 1100 cooking stove in hard-anodized aluminum as the container: it's a little larger, AND since it's a stove unto itself, won't require me to carry a separate unit inside (I hope). It just barely fits into my "bum bag" from Maxpedition.
