Bruno, I'm back from my little hiking trip, everything is packed and will be dropped off tomorrow. Expect it sooner than later

As for your shingle... What's the contact number? Could be an SFLCS... Allied pouches are always different in color from Eagle, but it should more or less match the MAP and MBSS (depending on their year).

Sounds good! All this waiting is making me anxious, I wanna finish this impression and get the photoshoot started! Did you take your ILBE pack with you (assuming you still have it) :P? I'd definitely use that if I ever went backpacking.



Anywho, here's the tag for the shingle. As I'm looking at it, it's kinda got that trademark green-ish looking tint to it, the kind you see on most tactical gear advertised as coyote tan. I've never owned anything khaki / MJK to know that this is khaki for sure, as I have nothing to compare it to.

That's SFLCS, so in other words, MJK Look up the NSN on google, you'll see.

And nah, I had my Mystery Ranch. The ILBE is great and functionnal, but insanely heavy and too big for most situations. I did hike a couple times with it back then, though.

Ah, dammit. Oh well, I'll just have to pop this one up on Ebay and grab an FSBE II one instead. Unless someone around here is looking for an SFLCS 3 mag shingle, look no further :P


And I think you just steered me away from getting an ILBE :P

Here's a few sneak-peek pictures of my impression. At this point I'd say it's 98.99% finished.

Also, excuse the over-exposure, my camera was about to die and I was having a hard enough time messing with the focus and self-timer to worry about closing the aperture a little more.







So, what do you guys think? Am I pretty?

Bulking for the fail... There's nothing in this world that make laugh more than those jocks witch bulky muscle but are as about in good shape as a fat bastard who only eats junk food.

Go for endurance instead. Sure you look tinnier but that doesn't keep you from being strong. Find a local Crossfit Affiliate near you and run/swim/bike everyday!

I knew I should have specified, I'm not looking to get huge like everyone does when they start lifting weights, I'm definitely going for lean muscle with a lot of endurance. I currently golf which is good for core and my legs (I walk, don't use a cart), but I don't do much for upper body so I'm doing light weight with a lot of repetitions.

It's empty because I'm still waiting on the pouches that are going on it to get here, but I'm using it to hold 2 M4 magazines and 2 frag grenades, this way in case I want to ditch my second-line to run fast or something, I don't sacrifice all of my ammo by leaving it on my MBSS.


I threw everything I had on in that picture just to show progress, naturally I won't be running it empty :P

Alright guys, so I might have another FSBE II haul coming in soon. I bought it solely to resell, so now I need your expert opinion- Do I resell it all as one kit, or piece by piece? I'm hoping that I could toss the entire package on ebay and get hundreds for it, but I'm worried that if it doesn't sell for what I want I will lose money. I'd rather sell a single pouch for less than I want than a whole entire kit :/.
