"Bring Your Own Ammo" Top 5 Page for this destination Iraq Packing List Tip by american_tourister

Luggage and bags: You need something with straps that you can carry as a backpack. Wheeled luggage is useless on crushed rock and river rock. Cordura Nylon is best. You can beat on it, cut it, and run in sand storms with it and still wash and use it. Most of us use Bug Out Bags.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Heavy duty clothing from good manufacturers is a must. Columbia, 5.11, Timberland, any of the top brands but it must be ruigged construction and able to withstand this harsh, harsh environment.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: AFEES carries just about anything you need. Bring a weeks supply and restock here.

Photo Equipment: I use a DSLR now but in the early days I had a sereies of cheap digital cameras as the weather just beat them up. Don't bring anything you can't afford to replace.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Living here is camping! Everything is a hoot!
