I often ditched as much gear as I could. Sometimes it bit me in the ass though...one time in training we had to build entrenchments, but I'd left my e-tool behind. There's an old saying, "Pack light, freeze at night." I often chose to freeze. Infantry is not a comfortable life!
- Bahamut 8y agoSometimes you end up freezing anyway - I remember one time on a field op we settled down for the night, and there was freezing rain out. We put a tarp in the dark over where we slept, and got greeted a few hours later with a flood of rain over all of us. It rained so much that our tarp gave way to the rain.
