Beer Monster said:What problems did you have? Did it have a lack of padding/could you not adjust it to your back properly? Was thinking of buying one
NickBristol said:Not entirely true tho I wish it was - I had a fully-loaded Vulcan disappear out the back of an HC-2 and perfectly placed down a deep ravine courtesy of an over-enthusiastic RAF loadmaster about half mile short of the planned drop off. After a slog back to find it, the lid and one strap had been ripped off and contents deposited all over. Biggest loss was my stash of hot choc from the rat packs
Did some running repairs using lots of paracord and some duct tape, and it was back in use
