i had 5 of these packs one time they are one of the best packs i have ever used.
i wished i hadnt parted with them i wasnt thinking at the time !
but im a very determined person and its fun and rewarding restoring stuff .
i really enjoy restoring stuff back to its original state and yes i definately plan on useing it alot once again ...

My God! I was in the army and my father was in the Infantry for 33 years and we both had one...lol...I will see if he still has any parts. What did you need?

I like them too, the only reason why I don't use them is I hate having to take my sleeping bag off before I can get into the main part of the bag.

Sweet...should look good when she's all done. The sewing machine would be perfect for making my wool anorak! I have to make it single layer because it is to thick for the machine. Two layer is much warmer!
