Grendel mags?

[RangerRick]

You put bare magazines on the outside of the ruck? How did you attach them?

On the old Alice rucks you put some in the outside pockets. On the inside I used to put some in the radio pouch. That kept them near the top and easy to find in the dark.

Of course your immediate load is in the two triple 30 round pouches, and you usually stuck one in the rifle pouch that you slid down the lowering line so that it rested on top of your ruck before impact.

In the movies you just see guys hook up and jump. Rigging all that stuff so you don't lose anything is a real pain.

It wasn't unusual after a jump to see M-16's that could almost shoot around corners or at least around trees. Sometimes they still worked.
