[Snow_Raven]

got a question for you aussie gear people, is there any specific reason why this guy has 550 cord through the loops on hit bush cap?, or is it just that its a convenient place to put it.

It is a very simple system for carrying 2 3 meters of paracord and not many Australian soldiers used this system.

This way of carrying paracord is a left-over custom from Australia's involvement in the Vietnam war. When the Australian were operating togetherwith US forces, they ( the ozzies) would put white or coloured paracord around the crown of their giggle hats ( bush hats) as not to be mistaken for the VC who wore similar head gear.
Seems the custom has stuck around, except for the colour.
