Hi Robert
"Mr Zinck" is my Father!!
Yes, they are still in use. What their scale of issue is outside the Armoured units is, no idea but well loved in my old bunch.
Honestly, they are somewhat man-portable. Tasked to teach a Leadership course in Petawawa once, I was horrified that the Course O wanted the Staff to sleep like the students while in the field. Hoochies! What's that??!! Ground sheets and bungy cords?? Unacceptable. I popped over to the Regt's TQMS shop and borrowed a Crew Tent, carried it to the Staff "hide" and set it up. As the rain started to fall, I quickly had an Infanteer MCpl as a tentmate!! The Crse O was informed that I am not on course, I am not in the Infantry and ANY fool and be uncomfortable!! I remained comfortable.
regards
Darrell
