    Here is the bag in question for those who may not be in the know:

    The CF issued NBC "Nuke Bag".



    While Nuke bags were originally intended to carry the "Bunny Suit", boots and gloves, while under threat of Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical attack, the lack of a usable small pack in the 1982 Pattern webbing seen the Nuke bag pressed into service as a ersatz day bag.

    It was better than trying to stuff rations and belted MG ammo into your pockets, however, just barely so.

    The replacement CADPAT system began gradual rollout in the early 200's and this actual "day bag" patrol pack was part of that system. I got my mine issued in 2005 or so, and most Nuke bags were written off or turned in for surplus.
