Kitting out yet another Counter Poaching Unit with hydration packs.
The new approach to appropriate kit required for QRF teams on the front lines of countering poaching activity. I personally also used to wear my webbing or daysack. For those who have been on the ground pursuing poachers in the African bush, operating as light as possible is required at all times.
The hydration packs carry a 2.5L bladder, has a designated med kit pouch, and other small pockets for either GPS/Radio batteries/Snacks/Ammo etc.
A big thank you to one of our Directors Ramana Govindasamy for donating these packs to the unit in Mozambique.
