New article on the marching pack (T Edwards)

[Decius]

"With the stuff tied to a pole, you only have to throw the pole, and you are ready for battle."

Or lower the hasta and the impedimenta just slides off?

I think this is still too slow...you probably have to bend your knees, turn the upper body, let the full thing slide down your pilum and if you're ready to fight you are already dead.
