Johndanger Posted August 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2008 picked this up today, not sure what to make of it. It is made of crunchy raincoat material and lined in nylon or parachute fabric , grommets are larger than normal and seems like overall size is larger too. has a small white tag with size 7 inside. is this early, or survival kit , custom , in country, or just civilian camping gear? Any thoughts? thanks , John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted August 9, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2008 These were available on the surplus market in the late 1980's. I used to see them at some of the surplus warehouses, I frequented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
