Webbing question

Post by booty cadet »

OK. I've searched under every different thread name I could think of and every word relevant to this question but I can't find anything so here goes...
It's been a while since I got issued webbing (we get it took off us straight away at cadets when we don't need it) and the prospect of Beckingham (spelling?) in borrowed, uncomfortable kit is something I don't want to face. I'm looking at getting a set of webbing (belt, yoke, 3 water/utility pouches, 2 double ammo pouches) but I've forgotten, what is a bigger pouch, the water or the utility?

There's not that much of a point but sometimes we do yomp! (not far though) and they issue the webbing, if we don't wear it, beasting, so I may as well make myself as comfortable as possible.

Mostly it's all the rage in Paris, but back in the day when I did cadet stuffs, was also quite useful for carrying magazines on a fun days march'n'shoot etc.

Booty Cadet why not try an assault vest or chest webbing.

Get a set in black to go with your overalls (flame retardent) and embassy blue prints for them weekends hanging out with mad Iranians (possibly in Denmark)

I've just come back from Dale Camp in Chester where we had a fun day on the ranges. We needed our webbing for that (carrying mags and water)
then there are the various weekends to Leek ( :lol: ), Altcar and Nescliffe which we need to webbing to carry everything you'd need to survive for 24/48 hrs without a bergen. You also have the annual camps (been to Nescliffe, Wathgill (Catterick) and Stanta. Also vital for this.
So as you see there are many times we need webbing mate :lol: WWW
