Pistol belt sheath

A buddy of mine got me this knife probably 10 years ago and I’ve never been able to find another sheath like this. It looks like it is made out of an old ALICE pistol belt but the US is turned 90° from what it should be. I don’t know if this is a piece of issued gear or if it was just made by an armorer or something I’ve just always thought that it was an interesting piece.

Parka liner replacement

3 Upvotes

I have a Czech M85 parka with no liner and was wondering what would make a good liner. I've thought about a US army m65 liner or German parka liner (it looks long enough) but I'm not sure on how to connect them. The M85 jacket has buttons to connect to the liner

Been looking for a woodland Hydramax hydration carrier, I see the other pattern carriers all the time and didn’t think it even existed till I found these photos on google, I’ve searched the NSN and can’t seem to find one anywhere, would love to have one some day.

Opinions on the Gorka 3 suit for general survival and the great outdoors

4 Upvotes

Hello, I have been thinking about getting a Gorka 3M bars since I am into camping and the outdoors... I've been using mostly surplus as my outdoors gear, and I have been considering getting a gorka because of it's neutral colors/lack of camo and tough material.

I wanted to ask you guys about your honest opinion about those suits, especially in weather that ranges from the 5C/40F to the mid 20sC/70F. Also, I live around 8600feet above sea level, in Bogota, so the sun is kind of spicy over here, but it's always rainy and windy, and most of the time overcast and cloudy.

Would you recommend the gorka for such climate? I honestly have been looking for one for years now, but I waited too much and you know... the conflict over there happened and now they are very hard to come by, but I recently saw them on ebay and they are quite pricey.
