Emergency Kit (UK)

Load Bearing Equipment.
P.L.C.E Bergan  - With detachable side pockets, can be combined with webbing
yoke to make day sack - ensure size is correct, only use the "long" fitting
if you are 6' 2" or over.  Otherwise the bergan will foul web gear.

2 x ammo pouches, 2 x utility pouches, Respirator Case, Water bottle cover .

Additional Web Items - '58 pattern Compass Pouch.
