Wild Things Tactical Andinista Pack

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Originally envisioned for recreational mountaineering, military climbers immediately saw the Andinista’s applicability for their use. Designed for application where a user will need to be able to haul more volume than weight such as carrying sleep systems and bivy clothing, the Andinista is manufactured from a composite VX-21 fabric that is waterproof to 200 psi. Consequently, the pack uses a removable bivy pad to help with rigidity and padding. It also incorporates features you will normally find in mountaineering packs such as ice axe loop, haul loops, snow collar on main opening, haul loops, daisy chains, ski slots, etc. It can accommodate loads between 45l and 90l.

Having seen service an areas such as Nanga Parbat and Sangin Province, the Andinista is a PJ favorite and often used for resupply bundles. It’ll hold 8 rifles as well as a full combat load for each and is jumpable.

The Andinista is currently undergoing evaluation by Master Proven.

Australians Issue Mystery Ranch 3-Day Pack

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

As part of the new Soldier Combat Ensemble, the Australian Army is issuing the Mystery Ranch 3-Day Assault Pack as their Medium pack. The pack’s bolsters make it compatible with the Tiered Body Armor System. The pack was selected for issue after a competitive trial conducted by 8/9 RAR and the 2nd Cdo Regt’s Development Cell. Although Australian Army officials say there is need for at least 6 separate packs, they feel they may be able to get along with just one frame system.

Inside Line Equipment Photographers Bag

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

The Ultimate Photographers Bag from Inside Line Equipment is an actual backpack rather than the more common shoulder bag. This is great for those of you who walk to work or like to hike. It features a waterproof roll top main compartment and camera compartment (12x6x8) padded, with 2 moveable Velcro dividers as well as a laptop sleeve.

Now, this is interesting. It’s made in California. This isn’t very common these days for commercial packs.
