If it is the same material that all those lawn chairs / tables are made of, there is spray paint available that is made specifically for that material. I have used it to freshen up some old chairs, and it worked like a Hot Damn.  Just got the paint at Canadian Tire or Home Depot. Maybe suggest...

yup  ;D sorry, didn't put that in the post, thought it was (moderately) obvious from the avatar. Sorry

Not a vet according to dad http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Alleged+shooter+Gulf+father+says/1459580/story.html Ken Howe and his daughter Linda haven't always been close, despite living near one another on the Sunshine Coast. Still, he was shocked when she was charged this week in connection...

Heh, not everyone.  ;D Heck, I'd be happy to get one set.  Not like I need them a lot, but then I wouldn't have had to go out and buy my own goretex socks and liners for when we go on our weekend winter exercise. We just got OD goretex coat a couple of months ago, before that, our outer jacket...

hmmm, you have made me think that I need to do some more research on my Great-Grandmother, to find out if she was a Nurse in WW1 or something.  My Grandma was definitly in the CWAC, I have a couple of pictures of her in her uniform.  I guess maybe she wasn't a nurse, per se, but rather a medical...

So, I assume that you think this might be a British Badge, then?  Interesting.  Thanks for the link. Cheers qjdb

My Grandmother just passed away (CWAC nurse in WW2), and in her house was a buckle.  My father and my aunt both knew that I was the most likely to be able to find out what it was, so they gave it to me. I don't think that it was my Grandpa's, as he was Navy, is there a possibility that it could...

Good day all. Just curious if there are any members of army.ca who are going to be at SAPPER RALLY this coming weekend. It is a joint ex with 6FES and their 3 affiliated Cadet Corps (North Van, Lilloett, and Chilliwack). Well, more like you guys are doing it, and we are tagging along, and...

Maybe a couple pictures so that they can see where you carry it, and how it 'deploys'.  With your after market rig, and maybe one with the TacVest, as well?  Not trying to tell you how to do your job, just trying to make it easier for the rest of us to envision. I am the 'First-Aider' for my...

philb - 10-4 loachman, thank you. I hope that everyone can take something away from this.

You guys seem to be missing the concept that ANYONE can tell you if the piece of raingear keeps you dry, or if the polar fleece keeps you warm. I agree, using the Mountain course as an example was probably not a great example, but I have to say that I appreciate cdn031 for him sticking up for...

Dave's in Vancouver (www.dstactical.com) has the (or at least they <used to have>) the 2 piece TT MAV in both versions of CADPAT. If you phone them, I know that they will look on the shelves for you.  The website appears to have it in Arid, but not in TW, but they do have it in Olive.

If you are still wanting to attach an item to the ruck, you could always use an item like these (about 1/3 of the way down the page) http://www.kifaru.net/MGoptions.htm  The idea is that you can slip the female piece of the buckle onto any 1" webbing that is on the ruck, and then attach the male...

Hi it's me, the guy who wants to paint his son's entire room in CADPAT  :o Anyways, what I am looking for now, is a schematic drawing of the side / front / rear of a Leopard C2 tank.  I am going to build a shell around his bed, so that he gets to have the coolest 'racing car bed' ever.  OK, I...

OK, I just feel SO much geekier, having read that. ;D

That was my first thought as well, "It's awfully dark to be working in such a light brown country like Afghanistan." But, I am guessing that 'natural camoflauge' works it's wonders pretty quickly?

Excellent Job everyone. Just listened to your interview, forcerecon.  Great job. :salute:

And, I have a feeling that it made your eyes buggy doing it too.  How big are your pixels?  Can you post a picture?

If you are doing it at the same scale as the clothing (ie, the pixels being 1 - 2 mm in size), you would probably do a stencil, and then either use a stencil brush, or a spray paint.  There are some really good examples of people doing this to rifles, mostly Americans in MARPAT or ACU colours...

post them here, in case there is anyone else who is as insane as we are. do you happen to have any pictures of the room?
