I am somewhat among the living now.Anything for us on the B list?
Let me know if you need help.I am somewhat among the living now.
I finally got a storage unit to take some of the non-back pack stuff. I now have some space to sort and count the number of non-issuable or needs repair" packs in addition to the number of Gen 1 packs. When I get that established I'll compare that with the handful of packs I found that were almost new if not non-issued. Based on the money lost from the non-issued ones I'll price the newish ones to recover that. I need to get the Gen 1 packs sorted out so they are being sold also.
Also, there are more lots of these being sold on government liquidations. However, it does seem like they are all in Oklahoma. But if you figuring in shipping, it might still make them affordable if someone else had the up front funds for another GB. I know Doc Hill really went above and beyond. This just shows that a group buy can be done with almost anything.
I AM NOT VOLUNTEERING , but I wanted to let people know that these packs are still being auctioned off.
Just a heads up, there seems to be some new hydration bladders out there that appear to be nearly identical to mil-spec and should work with the USMC GI carriers.
They are made by Skilcraft and are 3L bladders. They are around $15 which is a lot better than the true mil-spec at half the cost if they work. I ordered two and will report back here if they fit well or not.
LOL I wouldn't do that to you.LOL, I read this and thought you found a better price on the carriers. I thought, DUDE! I'm sitting on 200 of these things, now I'll never get rid of them.
Nice find.
I was in Indy yesterday for a doctors appointment and tried to pick up my stuff but didn't hear back from doc?
