0 gazzaw Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've seen them issued from a central stock but more often nowadays they are used by Cadet units as most of this kit was backloaded to them and we tend to use the DPM (or desert) poncho type shelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bazz Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 W have some at our Cadet Unit, however on exercise we either stay in Stone Tents (Buildings) for our Junior Cadets and our senior Cadets just build Basha's. For more formal "Camping" such as Duke Of Edinburgh Awards ExPeds lightweight 2 man tents are used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep deffo Basha's but I knew they were on the G10 for cadet units but seldom used Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bazz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Main reason we don't use them is the weight, they are much heavier then the modern ones that the Cadets have to carry and use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chevpol Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 so a couple of them lined up at the side of a 1985-1995 display/diorama would be ok then? Mark Thinking of a future diorama!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bazz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 They would be perfect, when I was a CQMS 2 years ago the DLI Association used some of ours for the same sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
