Pionier shovels
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2012 9:00 pm
Some questions that I am struggling to find answers to:
- How did the pionier shovel carrier attach to the webbing? Apart from the two belt loops - which need to be opened to remove the shovel, hence causing the carrier to come loose - how did the clip at the top attach to the setup?
- Was the shovel (and carrier) always worn in conjunction with the assault backpack, or were there alternate ways of carrying the shovel? My reason for asking is the haft tie that the assault backpack has on its left - I have not seen any other backpacks that make the same allowance, so I am wondering how a different, non-assault backpack would have dealt with it.
