Couldn't look at my 9 without thinking about deramping it soooo...It looked kinda plain without the ramp so I added some jimping to spruce it up a little.

Most people say the old coating flakes and chips but the coating on this is really taking its time to wear off...

Hey Todd, it doesn't have an "attachment" point, however there are 2 pockets on either side of the pack. I have my TMHawk on one side, and BK-9 on the other. It holds it in there perfectly. The M-18 would fit into these pockets as well I'm sure. If you'd like to send me one to test I'm sure I can take the pictures to send you. :D

Haha. im sure you will have on in time. Murph and I was talking about that last night, guess I gotta figure out how to carve a heart in one huh! :D As far as the pack. Murph has 3 of them I think. I know what I want in a pack, just don't know what pack that is. Im too busy making knives to research it. Murph has been all over my a$$ about this one. He knows a lot more about it than I do. He told me the same thing about the pockets on the side. I trust him, and you. I sent tman a pm.

I have a feeling I'm going to have one in time too... Probably going to need to get a TWS before that though. Between the Hawk and the 9 I got my big choppers locked down.

You could probably cut a nice heart into the finger guard :D
 
O.k. So, I guess Im stupid! (I know, you guys don't need to remind me) my last comment earned me a text message from my buddy Murph calling me a dumba$$ cause Im not the Becker patrol pack Guru like he is. tman038. PM inbound!

yup - both side pockets have a "tunnel" behind them you can drop a chopper in and attach the belt loop to the pals/molle strapping above the pocket. If the pack isn't loaded too full, the lid will cover the top of the handle so it doesn't snag on vegetation when hiking in the woods.
that coyote brown looks GOOD.
if you're not addicted to nylon, check out the Isle Royale Jr from Frost River -- pricey, but NICE. The Timber Cruiser is another good one, as is the Duluth Pack Pathfinder.

Like this in fact! :D
 
I have to share this.....i got a caravan zero gravity chair today.

I feel i owe them more money, this chair is ridiculously comfortable for a patio type chair. I reclined it and in seconds i was out like a light for over an hour.... And i don't sleep much or often, never have, and when i do sleep i need to be comfortable in a quiet bed.... This was a great 50 dollar purchase, i bought it for camping or barbeques but it made its way to the living room since its more comfortable than my 1000 dollar sofa/love seat combo that my wife just had to have or she would explode...

I will say it fits me perfectly. And im 5'9, any taller might be uncomfortable if your feet hang off. But they make an oversized one for bigger people.

My wife already tossed one in my amazon cart for her, and said i need to find other chairs for camping or outdoor events, she wants these staying home lol.

i have the Kelty model - they make a heavier robust model for bigger (cough like me fatter) people. VERY sturdy. it's the first stolen chair at events, but i ruthlessly boot people out. i carried it in, it's MINE. best thing: like those screen chairs (aerons), it totally breaths.

for lounging at home, i have a more furniture grade model. it's the best thing ever. lurve it a lot. LOTS. doesn't breathe as well, but damn, love it.

The kelty looks NICE!

Im glad someone else understands lmao, i felt weird being so excited over a chair!

This is my first zero gravity "experience" lmao but not my last, im impressed just how happy that chair made me! And i agree the breathing is excellent! i can feel the draft on my back :)

My wife already threatened to take it away, well it was on a note lmao... i passed out again for a couple more hours in the chair and woke up to a quiet house and a note saying the chair would disappear soon if i keep passing out in it haha. Passing out 2 times in 1 day is just unheard of for me! And this chair supports my back very well, i wake up not feeling stiff, but "stretched" almost... Cant explain it good, but the chair is awesome lol.

Im all on this chairs nutsack now :)

Yep, happy 4th! I'll get your shirt money to you this weekend. Gotta figure out where my Hanes fit is. I'm somewhere between a L and XL shirt size.

Nicely done, Cam. That widely-spaced jimping looks like it'll provide the right amount of traction without abrading the thumb during extended use. I like it.

I bought one of those last year for camping. Best outdoor accessory I've ever purchased, period. I can sleep for hours in that thing, which is unheard of for a camp chair.
 
Happy Independence Day Beckerheads. Any other sorry soul, working today? I'm in 7am-1pm.. still plenty of time for food, fireworks, and fun. supposed to rain here tho.
 
Happy National Birthday y'all.

Yep, Tman, I'm working' today too.
 
So, this is the first year of my living here that I am actually at home for the 4th. I had no idea the parade goes right past my apartment. I woke up thinking my a-hole neighbors were being loud, but when I heard the Marines anthem I knew it wasn't the neighbors. I have possibly the best seats for this thing!

In no particular order, I'll start with what gives the best point of reference... I'm on the 4th floor of the loft building.

This is the bee as he was coming up the street, it's BIG!
