I sure hated to see it go, but I am not spending as much time on the trails as I used to. It was new unused surplus when I got it. Bunch of us got together and bought 40 of them. The company that was selling them for the CDN Army said that was all there was, anymore that might come up for sale would be used by the Army, well used he said.
I was living in Scottsdale, Az at that time and I would watch Phoenix Craigslist and e bay in that area you might come across one of the guys who is dropping out from the scene...
