To go along with my post on the Ground Cache. I thought you guys and gals might like to see something. That I think is amazing.

Back before most of You guys were born. We had this stuff called M1956 web gear. Yes, the green cotton duck canvas crap. The stuff that can triple its own weight when wet. Anyway, Alice was around but it was expensive. Besides when you put something in the ground it's expendable.

Take a look at this pouch.....

I used a Tilia foodsaver, to vacuum pack a bandoleer. This was a prototype of the ammo bandoleer I described in the Ground Cache thread. What I did here was lay out the cloth bandoleer and suck out the air.

This went into the ground in 1987!:eek: The Tilia bags are still tightly pulling a vacuum. Almost twenty years. If you need something water proofed. look at these machines.

Hmm everything I vacume packed with my Tilia eventually lost its seal.


Same bags as that too.
