Perhaps the process has been sped up for the CTS rucksack delivery issue? I thought i read on here somewhere, please forgive me if I'm wrong but that some were projecting delivery date for the ruck to be around 2010??

If this bid closes in sept. , delivery begins within 6 months and completes within two years, the final shipment would be around 2008 or sooner?

just a thought, i'm sure Andyboy can clear it up though.

cheers.
 
Sorry CFL, I thought you would be able to figure it out on your own, this basically means that bidding for the manufacturing of the new ruck is now open.

Yukon, you have it partially right except that you've omitted the selection portion of the process. Bidding closes in Sept which is when the assessement and selection process begins. Once the winner is announced they have six months to ramp up and start deliveries which end two years later.

How long selection process will take is the key question.
 
Hey guys,

Just thought i would add.  I was watching the CBC the other day on a news story about our troops heading back to Afghanistan.  I don't know what everyone was wearing, but it was definately some form of CADPAT rucksack or day pack.  They looked pretty shiny-new.

have they issued out to any units yet fro trials ? or perhaps this has been covered?


cheers

probably the smallpack system they issued back around november, least thats when i got mine anyways,
 
That reminds me, I saw a guy with a small pack at LaRonde (Montreal's theme park) the other day... lucky bastard, I want mine! :mad:  Any word on when PRes will get them?

Cheers,
Pinky
 
Andyboy,  I hope to see one before 2010  haha wonder if one will show up in the mail.  How's life treating you Andyboy? fill me in when you get a chance and some free time.

A few guys from my unit managed to steal a few from supply in gagetown.
As for when they get issued en mass to the reserves? haha 10 years.
 
are these phototypes or aftermarket?  Hopefully they change all that black webbing...

It's totally beyond me why some still insist on posting information like this. It's not funny or cute. It serves no purpose except to reflect badly on your peers, Unit and the CF. In the extreme, there may now be some soldier on deployment that's short gear, so your buddies can look cool. Time to grow up.
 
Pappy, the one you have looks aftermarket, ours sort of resembles the marines new ruck

http://www.arcteryx.com/leaf/index.asp

only there is an internal valise at the bottom 12 inches of the ruck with three buckles closing it off.
 
Pappy,

Nice floor. Slate? What you've posted there looks like the ruck Gregory made for a Canadian client which I think is the SPEAR ruck. If I recall correctly they purchased them without too much operator input and a lot of hte guys weren't too happy with them.  I recall seeing a smaller one as well. I'm not sure of the model but I'll bet you've got one of those too. Nice enough packs on their own but not hte best thing out there.

I have some pics of a prototype of the new CF ruck from Ostrom that I can post if anyone is interested. It may take a little while to dig them up but I can do it.

One of the corporals in my Platoon borrows her roommate's once in a while (no idea where/how he got it) and she says it's the cat's anus. She says she gets no back pain whatsoever any more (I assume the 82 pat gave her some trouble) and it works like a charm. The only complaint seems to be the one that accompanies all of the new kit: not enough room. Since the sleeping bag goes inside the bottom compartment (or top, if you prefer) it leaves less room for the rest of your kit. Bear in mind this is just what I gathered from hearing/listening to her, so it may not be 100% accurate.

Cheers,
Pinky

P.S. Less space or not, it doesn't look too shabby

    Snugpak...  Wiggy's.......  ;)
 
not my CADPAT Ruck, My buddy up north had it along with some other nice stuff, I just snapped a few picks on a visit.
I passed up on the Ruck for a few other interesting items he traded me. 

I have a feeling it's gone by now.

 
Kal,
I agree with you Sungpak makes some dandy sleeping bags.  I've used thier Merlin 3 down into the low teens (F) and was comfy.  But I sleep a tad warm.  For colder I've got a nice Integral Design's North Twin, real nice bag. I hear some boys up there are using them too.

Haven't used any arc'teryx gear yet, they do some real good gear too from what I've heard.  Damn nice to see the Corps buying some good gear.  I remember when the only stuff we got was left-overs from the US Army or could roll some Air Force guys in Korea for.... those sob's had better cold weather gear to use running from one heated building to another then the Corps had and we lived out in the open...... burrrrrrr  we killed for them styling wool shirts, pretty bad when "high-tech" then was surplus from the Korean War.

Warms my heart to see the New Corps with good gear and getting better....
