Thats not the same as having the pack with all the doodads on the equipment list included.

*shrug*  Pay another CAP member to do it for you?

I mean, honestly, if you want a pack of field gear you should be able to put it together yourself.  Nothing like having a bit of familiarity with the stuff you're using.

ok, i can totally see buyin a premade first aid kit as long as you knoow whats in it and how to use it, but jeez, there is NO way to get a 24hr pack premade. Heres what you need

      LBE/LCE
"y" style suspenders
pistol belt
m16 ammo pouch x2
2 one-quart canteens
2 canteen covers (with tin cup optional)
a compass pouch or 2
ranger beads
a military issue butt pack (thehock.com ones are cheapo tiwan BS)
     now fill it with basic survival items, waterproof everything

have about 100' of 550 paracord on you, and a good lensatic military compass, maybe tritinium one

get a military issue camo poncho, throw it in the butt pack

now fill the rest of the stuff into ammo pouches

secure all ur gear, have no straps hanging off, as well as gear. make sure its adjusted for ur height and width.

cant get that down and dirty course anywer but the army, good luck
