posted earlier on the introductiosn thread but thought I should add this here.

Just joined my canadian better half in a Canadian load out for airsofting over here.

Cadpat is UK bought but Canadian made, CF vest is from Canada on ebay. A&K Mk1 M249/C9 just using my 1911 for now may pick up a Sig 226 to stand in for the newer issue 225 although there should be a new high power on way from WE soonish hmmm!

Also have a C8 project on the go just needs an inner barrel and the C8 body from DR!

Little question from a CADPAT noob : what are you guys using as second line nowadays ? I saw a lot of stuff in these 78 pages but I have a hard time clearly understanding what the official issue is.
I mostly saw some gear at CPGear but no plate carriers, are you doing like germans with a bulletproof vest and a rig on top of it ?

Overall not bad. I second the point on scrim. It's more accurate without even if you're not wearing the night vision mount. Definetly a set of gloves for patrolling even if it's hot as balls. And a small nit picky point that's more a personal preference: unless you're wearing an undershirt underneath your OTW style shirt I think it's more comfortable to have it tucked into the pant and wearing a belt. I don't know...to me it seems like that would chafe pretty badly afterawhile of walking around. Maybe it's just me.

Also, why is there a guy only wearing 1 glove, never seen anyone do that. And most guys tend to wear gloves when they are out patrolling.

Also, why is the person in TW CADPAT wearing a AR Boonie hat? Also he should tuck in his boot laces.

Why do you guys have MCpl, Sgt, etc rank insignia drawn on the armour? I've only seen one person do that overseas and it was a Major. Most common thing you'd see on the body armour is the person's blood type or Blood Type and ZAP number or nothing at all. Also, that guy's Sgt rank is missing the maple leaf.


Some weird looking slings and home made ones you guys have. More people tend to use a one point sling going from the rifle to their tac vest/chest rig, either buy one like the Spec Ops Wolf Hook, or made your own out of 550 Cord and a d-ring/carabeaner. The Vickers Combat Application Sling is also pretty popular. Some guys also use the one point slings that loop around the body, again they either buy one, use the issued one(Afghanistan issue) or use the issued 2 point sling and make it a one point.


Theres also no glass bottles of Pepsi overseas, its all tin cans of pop imported from the Middle East or something(its got Arabic writting on the cans)

good comments! thanks!
The dude with the boonie hat and goatee has his own CG634. For some reasons he didn't put it on for the foto...lazy
Gen 3 OD body armour is all we can have for this moment...cannoy find a material for maeking a repro of Arid ones and sure cannot buy issued one

Regarding the scrim...it was an airsoft game of period 2006. Guy wanted to make "a palm" on his head as he has seen on some photos )) Will recommend to remove.

PAQ4/PAQ2..we are working on that

Person in TW is from different photos he is a beginner and still has to collect a lot of stuff... IOW: bad logistics

Regarding rank insignia...remains of folly. Seen few time the same and did. Needs to be cleaned long time ago.

Some slings are to be changed, some are alright...I use soft FN Minimi's sling and want to make one from a paracord

Regarding the Pepsi...it was just an airsoft game..and it was what we have received at our "FOB" as a package BTW, good notes. I didn't thought about it at that moment :banghead:

Good ideas to work on

Same, good notes. Thanks! Will work on it

I've got a mil-spec cad pat tunic and trouser combo. I believe that when you put rank badges on, you are somewhat mocking the men and women who serve to protect our country everyday. it is stealing their glory, and I don't agree with that. If you wear your kit and a forces member can plainly see that you are not in the cf, that's ok by me. (case in point, the pre-cadpat OD BDUs) And there is a difference between wearing it because you are proud of your country, and wearing it because you want people to think you are something you're not. just thought I'd put my two cents in. oh and by the way, my uniform is made by "CAMP/COMP" lol <- not sure how it's spelled. :wink:

[Point_Man]

Great effort guys. Here's a couple of more pics from my tour to give you guys some more ideas. The sling in the first picture I'm using is home made. I like prefered the one point that I could loop around my body.

What is the scope on your C7a2? Is that an Elcan SpecterDR?

[Twin#1[Op-for]]

Yes, that's a spectre

Sure is. It wasn't issue though, I got a good deal on it before I left.

[Roguer]

the new rig is supposed to be issued to troops overseas for trials sometime during 1-10 is what ive been hearin from guys who are over there right now.

[Ninja_En_Short]

Ok so if I understand the regular grunt (no offense guys) is issued with an official LBE but is still free to use his/her own PC as long as it is approved ?

I think I saw some Eagle, Tactical Tailor, CPGear and HSGI stuff on pictures.
