What sort of electrical outlets are present on the interior of the Canadian Army's BV206? 24V, but what sort of plug? Any cigarette lighter ports? Any in the rear, or just in the front cab? Does it have a Cooking and Boiling Unit?
I wouldn't imagine that it has any sort of electrical...
The canopy for the bison windshield? We've got loads of 'em in our TN stores. Most in fairly new condition, with frames. They don't do bugger-all for the aforementioned wind whistling past the bottom half of the crew commander, though.
Howdy.
Anybody who has done any winter road moves in a Bison is well-acquainted with the Arctic blast through the driver's hatch which is directed at the crew commander.
A month or so ago, I heard somebody mention that the M113 had something like a kayak skirt to fit around the driver; would...
Haven't been able to get a pair since '08. Yet here they are, never issued judging by the tags on 'em in the photos, and being sold off in bulk, and I'm stuck with the bloody moon boots. ...
Yes, the bison does have a Prosine to invert to DC, and I've made sure the ignition was on. I don't think the batteries were too low, but I'll try again after the next road move.
I have a kettle, but I still like having the BV in order to safely boil water on the move, without scalding...
C3I, I guess we'd call it. RRB.
And I've just found frying instructions.

The powers that be have made the colossal error of giving me a Bison. I like to think of it as a self-propelled tea kettle with a machinegun.
Trouble is, my BV won't work on generator power. It'll only run with engine power. One of our drivers suggested ensuring the ignition switch was on...
Like I say, the retaining pin on the left hand side came out easily enough, but the axis pin that the sight turns on just won't come out. I don't know if the end might've swollen from my first attempt at removing it years ago; in hindsight I don't think it's bent, since the sight pivots on it...
I'm trying to swap out the sight on my No.4. I've got the retaining pin out, but the axis pin on which the sight turns won't come out. It rotates, and it moves laterally about a millimeter, but that's it.
Any idea what the trouble is? All I can think of is that it might be slightly bent...
I happened to come across this on my job search. Don't think I'm quite qualified, so somebody else might as well have a go if they're interested.

If you have to be awake, and you're not actually doing anything, you might as well be eating.
Buy one or two of those massive 400g chocolate bars from Wal Mart.
Get Hexy tabs from CQ. Make sure you have a hexy stove and canteen cup. Bring teabags and sugar packets in a zip-lock bag. If...
Not sure what all has changed in the past two years, but it was a fairly plush camp when I used to visit. Still had beer, even after the pub in Camp Souter closed. Didn't like the food, though. Multinational camp, too much rice and pasta and curry and such. And yes, either hardship or danger...
