@@user-hz2hp7yn4d g'day to you too! Thanks for stopping in! Yep it's a great bit of kit, always gets used as a main area shelter when with the fam. With regard to the dd a frame mesh tent. Yes it would work really well under this config 👆 though I'd personally have it suspended on the main ridge line. If you go for it, let me know how you get on 👌 😎

@@scouseoutdoors5649 will do. Thanks for the feedback:)

Hi mate, thanks for the comment. With the webbing, the weight is on the shoulders as there is no hip support/ and the bergen sits on the webbing so all combined weight is on the back/ shoulders and subsequently, your knees. The hip pad on the bergen sits around the kidneys but when fastened, it does help stabilise the weight in against your back, so again, even the bergen on its own rides on the back and shoulders whereas, a decent civvi hiking pack is designed to sit away from the back and the weight distributed between the shoulders and hips. With the infantry set up, it's more for load carrying rather than comfort. Does that help?

@@scouseoutdoors5649 That's exactly the answer I've been looking for. Would you also carry an 'assault/day pack' for lighter carry with the webbing, or would you just run the webbing needed to be more mobile/engage an enemy force? Thanks for the quick response!

​@@Gideon920great, glad it helped. I also use a British army northern Ireland patrol pack (35 litre and it's a great piece of kit) though I don't use it for military applications but for an overnight wild camp, it works as a great set up. I suppose in a contact situation, the bergen would be thrown to the side and stashed for the reasons you've mentioned 👍🏻

Thanks for the comment mate. ✌️

@@scouseoutdoors5649 absolutely 🤗

Manuel: When the army adopted the PLCE system, the official advice was that Longback was for soldiers 5'11" (180cm) or over and Shortback for people shorter than this. However, everyone's different so it's better to go by back length (top of shoulders to hips) - best done with the help of a friend and a tape measure. I was 172cm tall and needed BOTH sizes: Longback WITHOUT webbing ("CEFO"), Shortback when wearing webbing. I was issued the Longback which was impossible to wear with ANY comfort with webbing and had to buy my Shortback. But, without webbing, the Shortback accelerated fatigue and aches and was never as comfortable as the Longback. I handed in my Shortback when I left service and STILL use my Longback for shopping - still going strong after over 30 years! (I don't wear webbing anymore 😊. And don't apologise for being Deutsch - no need. Besides, "Tommies", today, like "Jerries" - and their engineering.

The bergen is a standard 2013 issued long back infantry bergen and the belt kit is of similar year, pouches on my belt are x 2 utility, x2 water bottle and x2 double amo. Hope that answers your question
