US seismic intrusion detector (SID) with built-in battery-powered VHF radio transmitters. Upon a trip or disturbance, the SID transmits a VHF signal to hidden radio receivers within their communication range (typically within 1,000 to 1,500 feet) to sound an alarm, analyze the signal, and/or transmit a retransmission, for example). These SIDs were used to detect enemy troop movements in jungle environments. Therefore, they were camouflaged to look like objects naturally occurring in the jungle (e.g., twigs, rocks, etc. covered with moss or mud). However, soldiers often called them "Turd SIDs", "Dog-Doo Transmitters" or "Monkey Turds" because of their shape and color.

Lightly used M1967 USMC Combat Field Pack. Year of manufacture 1970. Very nice condition. Rubber collar is in good condition..
The M1967 USMC Combat Field Pack nylon pack was designed by the Marine Corps Airborne Forces Development Center as a replacement for the M1941 Haversack.1 The design of the pack evolved from the experimental XM1964 Haversack and featured two external pockets in addition to the main storage compartment, which had a waterproof rubberized collar. The top flap had two side strap hinges and one in the middle for attaching a blade carrier.
When matching USMC M1967 straps were used with the gear belt, the pack was worn on the back by attaching the top loops to the shoulder hooks of the straps and connecting the pack carabiners to the carabiners on the straps. Alternatively, it could have been worn as a backpack by connecting the front and back sling straps to the D-rings on the bottom of the pack.
