lol what do you mean? Its just a green rucksack. nothing special, I think the seller just stuck the word "para" on it to make people think it was something!

LOL, the auction title does read "para military", but no, its just a tactic used by sellers to attract gluebags that love parachute reg stuff, just like lots of military clothing/equipment will have SAS, SBS, Commando, navy seal, swat and many other stupid things in the title, even if they are just selling boot laces

I know, but I just thought it was funny the way it read.  I thought the Local Brigade had started an E Commerce battalion!

That actually looks like the very model I have!  Quite a good piece of kit

This will probably go down like a lead ballon and i know this thread was started in jest but i really hate coming onto NI Wild and seeing uvf/uda, there is enough of this crap plastered over the countryside carved into trees and sprayed onto walls!

That's a very fair point but still - you have to laugh at these things or else they'd get you down.
