Your arm goes through that end loop and the top of the lanyard is on your shoulder. In Class C or with a jacket, the loop is held in place by the epilet/shoulder strap of the garment. If no epilet, you took a thick baby pin and from the inside poked through the fabric, over the lanyard, back down through the fabric to the inside of the shirt so it is hidden. Yep, the military issuing crap you had no equipment to use properly. Kind of like doing jeep patrol on gunner position in Korean winters with no head warmer gear. You had to buy/improvise your own. Then the rest of the time they yelled at you for not being in uniform :)James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-7025407482252399362017-06-04T00:10:04.251-07:002017-06-04T00:10:04.251-07:00Damn... you're too nice to say it... so I will...Damn... you're too nice to say it... so I will.

As far as I can tell, his plan is not very interesting survivalist-wise (following the Ms, who works for NGOs, to some Third World SHTF-insta-death large city with no water).<br /><br />I was also quite annoyed by his (perhaps real, perhaps fake) conversation with a young guy where they tried to see who had read most survivalist articles and concepts, which was something of a pissing contest, measuring each other's dicks or something.<br /><br />This guy is hungry for credentials, and his blog screams this. There is nothing of use for me there.<br /><br />The story of a guy trying to move with a truck to a desert planet... I mean, desert Junk Land, and experiencing critical problems along the way is much more valuable to me.<br /><br />Also, the hair.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-32017607810858652902017-06-03T11:02:36.552-07:002017-06-03T11:02:36.552-07:00I'm getting tired of waiting for the lazy, nar...I'm getting tired of waiting for the lazy, narrow minded gun companies to create a box magazine adapter for the Rem 870 12ga pump so I'm gonna have to go ahead and invent it myself.

Only now he had horrendous over heads which he couldn't afford nor get out of. So he went broke. <br /><br />The link to your post is that his customers told him what they wanted.
