"In Somalia one hundred years ago, one rifle cost three hundred camels."

Worth it, I'd say.

Armstrongists and others wishing to challenge me may contact me on TruthSocial at @LTWalker03 Though sometimes — actually often — covered up in outreach, original Armstrongist doctrine prohibits members from politics (including voting), military service, and personally bearing arms “for use against humans.” Below is a biblical counter to this. Basic OT Law stands: Deut 4:1-2; 12:32-ch13; 30:1-10 - No adding to or taking from the Law, to which the New Covenant (“circumcision of the heart”) is identical.

It is a flaw in the original W40K design. The smart way would be to have the hose more closely clamped to the body. It would still permit free movement of the head.  I like this backpack design, even with the exposed tube or two. Needs a better image of the soldier. O D Dedese   UL: Uses original bag, but hangs low. UR: Hangs higher, but cat has no forward view. LL: Forward view and cargo carriage, but large and dome looks odd. LR: Forward view and cargo carriage, but...
