  1. Hey all,

    Recently I did a troop that lasted around three hours in full TD kit. Nearing the last hour are so my shoulders and neck were throbbing in pain from the backpack. I'm looking for suggestions on how to wear the backpack and remain comfortable. Also do you have suggestions on how to keep hands from drying out after wearing rubber gloves for an extended period of time?

    Thanks,

    Pat

  2. I can't believe it! I'm shocked and amazed and beside myself right now. Stunned. Thank you!

    I owe a big shout out to UKSWrath since it was only through his encouragement, advice and patience that SWAT was even attempted. Also thank you to Smally and the command staff for approving me. Still in shock here.

  3. Hey Joe,

    I don't know whose handguards you have, but I have Karen's and she recommended this Loctite for the flexible hand plates.

    I did a test run by placing one on the glove and marking where it looked best, then gluing. You paint the bonder where the edges of the hand plate will be. Run a line of glue around the edge of the plate, place it and apply pressure. The glue hardens in just a few minutes so be sure of the hand plate placement before gluing.

  4. While you are waiting you could look into buying pouches and a pauldon. You may also need to get another pair of boots since the TD ones will need to be "dirty".

    P.S. My wife wants to someday visit Prince Edward Island because she is a big Anne of Green Gables fan.
