bradberry00 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Has anyone on here made their own version of the field pack? Or even made a cleaned up version of the known screen used packs. I was thinking about making a custom field pack using some of the classic found parts but with my own touches, maybe some found surplus parts and other bits and bobs that makes it a bit more "real world". Just curious if anyone has done this and would like to share some photos. I don't plan to go for SWAT or anything so could be fun. -david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Nothing wrong with that but it's not for me. I would say the majority of us around here strive for screen accuracy. But like I said, nothing wrong with making something your own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradberry00 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Oh, don't get me wrong...I LOVE screen accurate stuff!! I am just thinking about wearing these things out and making them look more like real military packs, maybe swap tape out for straps, etc. Just ultimately curious if anyone has done it. -david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Boucher Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I realize this is a major necro-post, but since no one else responded I thought I would give my 2 cents in case anyone else finds this thread. In my build thread (note the title, it's fitting) I posted a couple pics of my pack. When I first joined the legion years ago I had my FX armor with the big bucket so I knew I wasn't going to go SWAT without major changes. The CRL allowed for a loose interpretation of the pack so I decided to do something different! I turned the seed trays into storage compartments with egg crate foam, I added a pair of silver "pressure canisters" with a gauge instead of the siphon, and I added another braided steel tube around the left side of the radio. All of the other usual elements of the backpack were present so it's not too far off. I will probably retire it soon and go for accuracy now, but it was loads of fun to build something and just wing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
