SNEAK PEEK: Kondalilla Falls and the DG-3 Slick
Thanks to our old friends and long time supporters at Crossfire Australia, we had an opportunity to try out a new pack.
The DG-3 Slick is an internal frame, less “tactical” looking pack for those wanting to look a little bit less obvious, or just not needing external pouch capability.

SNEAK PEAK – The Field Office
A recent discussion amongst Primary and Secondary moderators had us comparing notebook sizes.
One of the lads had a fairly decent collection of Australian issue Field Notebooks that he acquired whilst deployed and co-located with Australian troops.
It reminded me of my field notebook setup.

A Group Shot or…. I emptied my shed!
A challenge was set awhile back by someone who didn’t believe me when I said I have “a few packs”.
This is after doing a decent cull of the herd last year too.
So what do we have here?
.
*Ahem*
21x packs of various types/sizes
1x satchel (HRO)
3x sets of chest webbing (I know there’s another set of belt webbing somewhere in the shed)
2x plate carriers
.
Can anyone pick what I’ve got in the line-up?
