I don't see the gas mask on your site.

Oh... I read the whole post.

These are new?

I'll take two masks and three filters.

Message me if you get them.

Any info on the pack? Size?
Click to expand...

I have the large main pack of the USMC FILBE style like the one pictured.

The one pictured if it is complete like that has the extra 3 day assault pack.

The main bags are pretty large. I don't have exact specs, I'd say 40L.

They're covered in molle, and can attach what you need.

If it is the gen 1, the straps are not sewn properly and can fail.

If you take it to a shoe repair shop, you can get it reinforced.

Mine cost me 10$ to do the fix. There's a few web pages up on the defect and fix.

Decent packs.

I had an Eberlestock F4 terminator and chose the FILBE system instead of the Eberlestock instead if that's worth anything.

200$ is a good price. Without the assault pack I paid 150$

So you're saying it would be suitable for overnight trips?

The assault pack at the most is 40L. The main pack is easily 80-100 litres
 
Is that the C3 gas mask or older?


Would you be able to source any Avon FM12 gas masks? :D


I would be in for the Parka, 3 gas masks and RD40 Abek filters if you can source them cheap and non expired :D

It sure looks like the old combat shirt we wore over a t-shirt in the summer but am interested, what material is it made of? Those snow shoes been around for over 40 years but are pretty good, still have a pair. Seen a few snapped on jumps but they are tough and light.
The wind pants and jacket would be a nice item depending on size.
 
Oh yes. I have the 3 season jacket and would love a new one. They are a nice loose fit and can accommodate a heavy wool shirt or wool jacket underneath. This combo keeps me warmer than the Canadian winter parka and lets me shed layers depending on the conditions. I would also go for a few pairs of the wind pants. I also have two of the USMC packs that were bought used. My boys use them when they go camping and they love it. I would love a new one. Great packs, but heavy. Princess Auto has (had?) the radio pouches for them for a few bucks each. I bought a dozen to remake custom pouches for the outside of the pack.
