Excellent, thank you.

I have it. Way too many pockets, great quality but the added weight of the 350+ pockets wears the front fabric. I read a review, the dude ripes his open. Costumer service replaced it though. Also quite a bit heavy because once again of all those useless pockets.

You had me at "Tigerstripe"!

Impressive pack and great review thanks Tom. I think I will stick with my old Berghaus Munro ( suits and old geezer like me better)thanks again for sharing this.

Now I can’t use my canteen

A bit late but wabted to say the bag idea is great. To often i isee these kits with everything loose - for me anything not in a bag or container will eventually get misplaced and potentially lost forever

Wish I could have done that, so jealous. Thanks for the video it brought back memories and as you were getting close to the ground, the voice in my head said feet and knees together. AIRBORNE.

Great video.

Rabbit is really tasty not seen much in stores in America. Are they in stores across the pond ?

I normally don't like these non military belt set ups. But this one is quite nice and thought out. Then there's the tiger stripe. Icing on the cake ❤

Just wondering, do you carry chinagrapgh pencils for the map, or are you one of the no need to mark the map great video btw

Crotch rott is the worst I have tried everthing In my area and doctor advice. Powders creams and even female vagine creem wich works really well after days of having and it's becoming more than just a hot area. Didn't start getting this until my mid fortys I ran pretty dry until I put some mid life weight on.

I know in England you don't have gun rights or ownership but can you carry your air soft guns and do you have wilderness areas you can go out and train without being checked by someone. Like in America we all have wilderness we can get to.

I don't need one, but you lost me with metric. Feet and inches mucker and miles we're not foreign.

A great review there. One question to ask though. Would you say this is the best pack you have come across in this size and capacity? In other words I’m also a strong believer in Buy Once Cry Once also, so would this be the one worth crying over? Or would you pick another?

thanks! needed this video to visualise how it's all put together ever since I got a copy of the book years ago.

A good video Where did you board the aircraft in the UK ? Did anyone jump with a leg bag or weapons ? (deactivated of course) It was good to see most people used original jump gear (even if most of it was reproduction) I was there in my Jeep I went to Pegasus Bridge, had a beer or two Then went to the museum and saw the real Pegasus bridge Yes it was a memorable 80th I never saw Bruce there, sorry Are you doing a jump in June at Arnhem ? I served with 9 para, Royal Engineers

Area denial

Could you please stop reviewing these packs? It's getting a bit expensive.

Morning Tom, Ive been looking forward to seeing this, great indepth review. I was trying to decide for a few months if i wanted the crossfire or the platatac echo mk3 ( small one ). I went for the platatac in the end. Im not convinced on the LTAS. Im all for innovation and mollie does add up on weight. However mollie looks more secure. It looks a bit long and i wonder if it would top flap ok in issued bergans. Thanks again mate

Great gear review, Tom. Thanks for sharing.

Was wondering how/if it could direct-attach to the DZ rig, thanks for the in-depth overview. Probably the most feature-packed and overbuilt assault pack on the market... And it's not annoying or time consuming to reconfigure, less than five minutes to set up as either a standalone, or integrate into the DZ yoke. Crossfire really needs to expand on all the features of this thing on their website, especially the bit on how it integrates into the DZ rig, that's a huge bonus to have a pack integrate without adding layers over your shoulder pocket.

Just found yer channel. Great Kit Review. Love the UK perspective of what is basically a copy of your kit you never went away from. Thanks, you made me a subscriber. From one Former Paratrooper to another, Airborne!

This was awesome to see

This is the review I've been looking for. Cheers Tam !

Trust a Brit to say "That's what your MUM said!" 😂 Nice going, Tom. What a great accomplishment and superb way to honour the the "original" Red Devils, Screaming Eagles, and All Americans. Seeing you all milling about on the airfield before emplaning reminds me of the scene in "Band of Brothers" where the guy is looking at a Luger belonging to a British para who tells him "you're having a larf if you think you're half-inching that!" Well done again. I'm jealous, I'd love to do that. Even though I'd be sh1t-scared! 😂

Good Times--- was in 2nd stick--same plane, you are right it was an absolute privilege!!!

Once a paratrooper always one. From the look on your face you've really missed this, even at your age

Absolutely brilliant. Well done and you too are now part of history.

Where in the UK can you shoot this?

Brilliant 😺💙🐾 Cheers Mate 🍻 AATW

Where did you find this pouch, and how is it attached

A camp site should not be at the bottom of a ditch...

Thats a good video Tom ! Nice one !

Tom thank you for the respect that you gave to these heroes.i was airborne 1980 to 92 2 para only the very best respect to you all.

Thank you for your take on the survival tin, it gave me great ideas

Great review. Thanks. I would recommend you shorten the grab handle by sewing it with light stitching. Sew it enough to lift the filled kit but not enough to drag your body. Think of it as a fall arrest kit. It rips open during a fall.

Once more here there is a usefull and informative video Everybody laughs with "survival navigation" until they get in trouble where they cry because they never learned it. In my civilian life 3 times i got lost in a foreign land and i was able to find my way using these techniques. First time in Slovakia where nobody spoke English (and i speak no slovak) to tell me how to get to Vienna. So with these techniques i found where is west and in 4-5 km i was in the boarders. Another time we were in the middle of nowhere in Western Serbia inside a forrest when my car and there were no signs and no GPS signal. we got in a crossroad and again i found my way. Third time again in the boonies having got with some locals "who knew the area" and they experts got lost. Again i found my way. So do not underestimate the usefulness of survival navigation. everybody will need it whether he is military or civilian. GPS can always break, run out of batteries or not having signal. I still praise my instructors in the army who taugh me this

What company are you In , I'm in E company Yorkshire n/w as a cadet loving it so far

Hi there, understandably I know this is a late one considering the vid came out 2 years ago. But when it comes to combining all 3 layers would you do the standard daysack under your top lid or would you primarily be using your bergen on patrols given your job role? I've got a beast bergen and a similar sleep system and I'm finding it a pain to top flap my daysack as it just seems there's not enough room? Many thanks and I appreciate your insight into this topic

i have a ka bar knife. amazing but the user needs to be careful since it is a large knife and thus it is cumbersome. i believe this knife you are showing is more workable

Cool immediately knew you had military experience - brill 😊 going to do this early September can’t wait 🎉 thank you 🙏 for sharing

Great to have permitted to see this. 👍

Hell yea. Airborne All the Way. What a cool experience.

Are any planes in that ww2 base restored to fly again 🤔?

Nice and excellent jump guys ❤ thank you for all your participation and reenactment of the D-Day commemoration day💓👏

Great to find this vlog thanks for sharing, I was in Duxford last Sunday had a chat with some of the guys taking part in the jump as you were getting read, what an awesome scene. Much respect for you all taking the time out to show your respects the the hero's of 80 years ago. Lots had travelled from the US to take part at Great personal expense. Thanks again Great day.

Awesome Tom, the greatest generation 🙏

Greatest men on earth ,what a generstion
