shortridge Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm wondering if anyone out there has a source for plans for the Green Bar Bill pack. A 10-year-old thread from Scouts-L referred folks to the 1968 Patrol Leader's Handbook, which had plans for other items of gear as well. But the only copy I've been able to find is online from an Australian bookseller, and I'm not sure it's even the right edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuna Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I've got the 1962 printing of the 1950 edition. It's in there. There are a bunch of copies for sale on Amazon. Very inexpensive. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-3528510-4226218?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=handbook+for+patrol+leaders&x=14&y=14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epalmer84 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 It is also in the 1967 Fieldbook. Ed Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortridge Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Fantastic! Thanks very much. On a limited budget, I didn't want to go around buying up old books if I wasn't sure it was in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rythos Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Shortridge (or anyone else) if you have a scanner I'd love to see a picture of this pack. Depending on what it looks like It could prove to be an interesting do it your project. Ry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortridge Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 The first edition Fieldbook (brown cover) has a picture of the pack. (Alas, it refers readers to Boy's Life for plans.) I've been looking at lots of plans online for DIY ultralight backpacks (no frame, like a slightly oversized daypack), and am very curious how the GBB Pack compares.

Kahuna Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I tried scanning the pages from the PL Handbook, but they don't scan well enough to post on a website. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
