I have a Camelbak BFM that I use for day to day as well as Patrol evaluations. The thing has more pockets and penholders than I know what to do with. Pretty damn comfortable and only set me back about $140.00

Dang it, another pack to consider now.

You guys kill me, I post here to have you guys help me norrow my selections down, but the only thing I have accomplished is compound my list of Packs to evaluate.

Step 1 is to see if the RAID is even going to be available in the color and time you want.

If not, you can narrow your list down.

Very true Sir. I'm calling LF on Monday morning. I just saw a post over there from a guy who has been waiting for an OD RAID since August. 5 months is not acceptable to me so I'm thinking the RAID is most likely out.

Unfortunately, the RAID is a LF exclusive item, and they are subject to the manufacturer's production schedule.

Good luck. You might call their retail stores and see what they have on hand.

The Ft Bragg store had 10 or so on the wall last week when I was in there. No CB's in stock though.

As a side note, they have come down on the price of the ABN RAID to 199.00.

Pack Question

What you really need is Mountain rucksack circa '50-'60's. You can put all you listed plus a Greyhound bus and room left over.

I wouldn't want to hump the extra hardware.

Army wants you to jump something, they will give you the gear to attach it.

Joe:

Only other colors for the RAID than the CB I know of is OD and Black.

They are the same, but I do not think they pull stock off the shelf for internet orders.

You call the stores, they might be willing to help you.

Could be new. Never saw a 3C Desert.

Ask over on LF.com, maybe one of the employees (or Brad) will square you away.

Noted Sir. I dont wanna hump it either. I was just making note of it if there was anyone interested in the ABN version but was turned off by the additional price.


SJ:

The RAID pack comes in Black, CB, OD, WC, and 3-color Desert. They had OD in stock when I was there.
