The Art of Rebellion – LBT Multicam Tropic 8000a Review

I spotted good friend over at AlliedRisk Equipment letting go of some gears surplus to requirement, including this little gem, London Bridge Trading’ 8000a Pack.

Naturally, not only did he part out with at an exceptionally good price, it is to all intents and purposes brand new.

Promptly shipped, it landed on my mat today with today’s post and it is upon inspection is as every bit as good as I expected.

I recall as far back as my formative years, when attending high school I’d clock up considerable mileage on foot walking the three miles there and back again.
