Digital Camo Ghillie...
I'm really pleased on how well this new suit turned out. The Desert Digital cammies make a great ghillie suit base. They just blend in much better than the three color deserts. I don't have pic of the other side but I had it sewn up by Tactical Applications Group here in J Ville and they did a great job. Coyote cordura on the front, vented the back, added some pockets and reinforced the whole thing. This is my 5th Ghillie suit and by far the most comfortable and well made that I've ever had.

We're in the process of re-working some stalking SOP's based on some AAR's and are trying to balance out carrying exactly what we need while remaining light and mobile. Just finished reading 'The Soldiers Load, and the Mobility of a Nation' and realized that alot of the shit I carried around Iraq last year was dead weight, so we're trying to lighten things up. This H-Harness set up is stalking specific and pretty much sits in the kit bag until we get tasked out.

Also threw in some pics of our Smocks, urban and desert....

Looks real good. Thanks for sharing.

They also gave me one of these at supply the other day

It's a pretty nice pack. Side access on both sides, internal divider for sleep system, numerous side lashing points for the gammut of equipment an infantryman is tasked with carrying, and of course MOLLE webbing on the outside for attaching other pouches. It's basically the exact same thing as the Arc'Teryx Bora 80, but with Marpat Cordura and PALS webbing and some reinforcing.

We'll see if it can stand up to the task.

Holy crap! I don't own enough stuff to fill up a bag that big. You'll need Tanker Boy to give you a lift if you have to carry that pack more than 100 meters.

Looks very 10th Groupish, skis and a smoking jacket?

I figure I can throw enough brandy and cigars in there for one deployment atleast!

It is pretty comfortable, but you know how that goes. Now they'll just want us to carry even more shit around now that we have a pack that can fit it all into.
