okay guys befoe anyone bites my arm off for this, i wasn't sure where to post it so the "sinks" seemed the best place.
Now i recently bought the haversack depots type IIIa shelter 1/2 kit. I've been in need of this piece of equiptment in quite a while and with a tight budget of a high school student that works at minimium wage at sears, this was the only way i could afford one. Now this is not an advertisment or anything by anyone, I just decided to post a review on the piece of equiptment i recieved.
I recieved the package in a very prompt time in a nondescript packaging envelope, at first i figured that it was some instructions from VMI or the army on somethign else i needed to do for my scholarship. I soon saw the label and was excited like all of you have experienced. I went inside and within the day i set to work. The material was perfect not too stiff and just wright for what i had always expected it to be. The instructions enclosed were prompt and direct he told me exactly what to do and had examples already on the 1/2 for my visual use. It took a couple days of work to finish it, mostly because i only worked when i was on the couch watching TV. I was pretty sure this project was gonna be death by buttonholes, the grommets were very easy to do and i had extra thread left over should it need repair. I took great care in every stitch and made sure to wax the thread i used to make the button hole and apply the buttons. The hemp line used was outstanding and inspired me with awe the first time worked with it. I re-whipped the ends on the guy line and the loops in the corner of the piece, with me being a boy scout i deemed it nessecary to rewhip them but they were already done to an outstanding quality. Upon finishing the work on it i packed it up and it folded very small and is extremely light. with a blanket, gum blanket, shelter 1/2, and 3 days rations plus socks and clothing my knapsack is extraordinarily light but still stuffed like a pillow
Mr. cavanaugh thank you for such an exemplarary product and should anybody ever ask for a suggestion i will direct them to you. You have done a great job and your attention to detail set a president for all other manufacturers.
once more this is not an advertisement just a review on my experience with his product.
