    failing to prepare = preparing to fail

    Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.

    hello,
    'Tabbing' & 'Yomping' A loaded march is known as a "Tab" in the SAS/Airborne and a "Yomp" in Royal Marines. Practiced yes, originally & as a refresher in a true survival situation with the bare essentials, usually the complete parachute, harness, & pack used as a Bergen (rucksack) the parachute folded into a sleeping bag, along with the survival tin 'bare essentials' the rest scavenged on route distance varied. Parent Regt RAF I've dug in too but never checked in BTW
    Regards
    David
