  2. I find it hard to belive that we are sending non military personal to Hati, MSN has reports of groups of young men lotting and roaming the streets with weapons. I do understand that this is a poor country and these people have nothing and now have less but what is going to happen when 1 of our rescue workers comes under attack for a bottle of water. This country was run by warlords before this tradgey. I hope all members of the FDNY and NYPD stay safe and return soon

  16. I for 1 like to always use the waist straps, this takes the weight off of your shoulders and tranfers it to your hips( center of gravity) as we all know we have enough to carry without making it any harder My 2 cents I really don't care how everyone else wears their packs
  17. And we want guns(cool ones like Dirty Harry)
