Okay Beckerheads, Let's See Those Murses (Accessories Optional)

[Guyon]

I knew you were a closet bedazzler. I just knew it.

[Guyon]

Now THAT is some old-school murse. Thanks for sharing.

That last pic is a old school camelbak

 

[trailbum]

That is a nice rig.

[/QUOTE]

To buy this setup, am I correct that the total cost would be about $100+.

 

[Guyon]

To buy this setup, am I correct that the total cost would be about $100+.

Let's see...

Condor 10x4 water bottle holder ~$25
Fox Multi-Purpose pouches ~ $30 ($15 each)
Fox mag pouch ~ $8
Condor shoulder strap ~$7

Total was around $70. About the same as some of the Maxpedition rigs.
The parts are more portable though since all the pouches attach with integral molle straps.

THANKS!!

I always liked the more primitive look. I also have the Ted Cash tobacco tin. The blow pipe is a good addition for a number of reasons. Fuel for fire, suck water out of pools, concentrate breath on coals, etc.

 

[Cutshaw]

Hmmm... I've owned five pre-ontario Beckers. Can I post?

5.11 Push pack. I sold my Maxped FB and kept the 5.11. There were features I liked from both but more from the 5.11.

It's amazing how much one can stuff in the main pouch.

 

[Bladite]

Oh, come on. You know deep down that you want to look FABulous.

I think Flexxx could easily place top-3 with his latest pack...

someone bedazzled a tribble? how heartless! how... 70s

some of those murses have a lot of draw strings - on some of my bags, i use grimlocks or small carabiners to make sure they can't get snagged and open... or as easily pick-pocketed...

 

[panzertroop]

I have tried many shoulder bags in the past few years and none have been satisfactory. Too small, too big, I feel like Goldilocks sometimes. I was at a local gun show and I noticed the Finn gas mask bag for $7. I have messed with them in the past but never gave them much thought. For $7 why not. I honestly was going to use it for a tool bag or range/ammo bag. Started messing with it and discovered it can hold a days kit easily and with style. I had the leather shoulder pad strap from a buddy and it fit perfectly. Now for some patches!

Inside is divided. The main area has a button flap that secures several organizer pockets

The side compartment easily holds a USGI canteen cup and canteen.

Bag rides well and the waist stabilizer straps actually works and keeps the bag from sliding around. I like the shoulder bag concept because you can still carry a firearm or knife strong side.

Anyone on a budget looking for a nice bush bumming bag should check out.

 

[tradewater]

Panzertroop, that's the bag I've been looking for. Haven't found them yet.

The water bottle setup like Guyon's is handy as the dickens though. I've got a lot of use out of mine since I put it together.

 

[Arkanian]

I'll post up shots later of the set up for outings but I carry a murse everyday. I can't seem to fit all my junk in my pockets.
Junk inside:
Pager (it's a work thing)

I didn't know pagers still a.) existed or b.) worked
Only Doctors and Street Pharmacists should require a pager...

 

[trailbum]

Thanks GUYON.

 

[never too sharp]

Street pharmacists, lol. I didn't know those gas mask bags had pouches inside. I love all that mil-surp stuff because it's inexpensive. It's rare I get to actually handle the things, though.

 

[Widerstand]

Well since getting back I really have not made a post of quality so I thought I would jump in on this thread some and show off some photos.

This ain't really a murse since its a small pack but close enough I guess, this is often what ive been packing around as most of my time not at home or on a train is in the woods so its built to suit.

The more I learn the less I carry.

The bag is an Italian Mountain Rucksack ($15), which is pretty much about the size of a small school pack, canvas on the outside and rubber on the the inside.

Also I got a good amount of room for anything else I might want such as food, tarp...etc.

That's an excellent idea, mind if I borrow it?

Oh, I copied trade and Moose in large part.
Moose was putting together a 10x4 kit, and I told him about the cheaper Condor version.
And I saw trade's kit at the last Gathering and liked it.

But I TOTALLY invented the idea of putting a glow stick on my murse.

Actually, Flexxx got the idea from me, then you copied him...
