Cool picture, very good representation.
Very nice kit, I remember it well
Loved the jacket and the pants, hated the combat shirt
Hated the webbing too, if you wonder why, try living with it for a month in Wainwright
I see you even have the gas mask bag, brings back memories of gas training
For a long time in the 80's we didn't have the band for the helmet, we used rubber bands made from the inner tube of a tire. The buckles on the webbing where often wrapped in gun tape. We used the FN C1 (FAL) wich I loved but they were so old, mine was made in 1958. Around 1986 trials started to find a replacement, in the lot I remember the M16 but my favorite was the FNC
Nobody wanted the M16 at the time
