What a lil bitch.
I was worried because there wasn't a /GQ/ thread up for hours.
>>30198832
>implying im goin to reveal my piwer level at my unit
>>30198781
i can't into GI. I'm too civilian.
>>30198781
Meh, I still have some bdus and silly military shirts I've got squirrelled away and a few ALICE suspenders.
nothing truly Gucci.
Holy shit I've been waiting for a new one. Only reason I come here anymore.
>>30199276
do you just lurk GQ threads?
>>30199328
>dead bird
So I got a Chicom Type 81 four pocket chest rig in the mail, straight by China Post.
It looks unissued, has that good surplus smell, is double stitched and sturdy, and even has that ink moonrunes stamp at the back. It feels amazing.
But the little wooden knobs and loops aren't there. In their place are velcro patches.
Was this something featured on newer Type 81 chest rigs? Was this a just-before-export modification? Was I just sold a knockoff?
>>30198892
I'm just messin'. I know you don't reveal that kind of powerlevel until an FRG event.
Here's a selection of FTX survival gear I decided to inspect today.
>>30199276
destroyed my phone working on a bradley so i lost all my photos. but none of the other regulars would make a damn thread
>>30199478
what the fuck. that looks like a modern reproduction using cheaper materials. it has shiny nylon straps. why didnt you just buy the one on amazon like i told you.
>>30199478
it makes me want to fucking vomit.
how could you let the chinks get you like that.
>>30199478
Not ally
Looks like a knock off senpai
>>30199276
Same here, I was legitimately concerned for a while.
>>30199591
Nigger this one IS the one from amazon.
Seriously, that's the one I ordered.
>>30199478
lol that sucks dude.
>>30199591

http://www.amazon.com/Surplus-Chinese-Chest-Pouch-Green/dp/B00GMO8ZZA?ie=UTF8
Hey, don't blame me, I took advice to get this thing from you idiots.
It was either this or the 3 pocket. And the reviews were equal, so I splurged on the four pocket. On the bright side there was no shipping or tax.
Should I try and return this thing? Or should I just keep it as a fuck-around-on-the-range vest?
Considering getting a kangaroo mag pouch for my AR stuff and just a couple tacos for pistol. Any experience running thr kangaroo stuff?
>>30199876
It would seem others received genuine rigs while you got jewed. Send them the pictures and get those dirty chinks to give you the right one.
>>30199876
return it, it's not what you wanted
>>30199925
I like kangaroo pouches, lower profile than mag pouches
>>30199939
>>30199955
Just send a refund request. I'm suddenly turned off by chink surplus right now.
What should I get instead for an AK mag chest rig?
>>30199328
Yup, I do post but I only have a couple photos and I am waiting for new stuff before I take new ones.
>>30199531
>>30199621
That sucks. I was playing around with the idea of making one tonight after work if one didn't show up.
>>30200037
nothing is wrong with the chest rig you actually want. you're dealing with commies.
be more patient.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271935696732
>>30199960
I think I will too. I hate clutter.
First piece of gear acquired. Next piece I want is a plate carrier, any suggestions?
>>30200114
I feel you. I took the IFAK and hydration off my PC to be replaced with a source patrol pack for when I need more gear.
>>30200148
Mayflower APC or the $280 LBT 6094 that's on eBay right now are relatively affordable options. What are you looking to spend
>>30200148
I'll post my list again
"Quality" carriers:
London Bridge Trading 6094 ~ $398
Mayflower APC ~ $220
Crye Precision JPC ~ $249
Tyr BPC ~ $259
First Spear Strandhögg ~ $419
Shellback Banshee ~ $180
LBX Tactical Quick Draw ~ $169
TAG Vanguard ~ $209
Eagle Industries PC ~ $269
Velocity Systems Scarab ~ $325
Paraclete HPC ~ $179
Protech TAC PR ~ $265
HSGI MPC ~ $369
Tactical Tailor Fight Light ~ $334
5.11 Tac Tec ~ $186
PIG PC ~ $329
MARZ PC ~ $299
>>30200203
Within the 200 to 300 range for a plate carrier, then going to invest 600 to 800 in an ar and another 200 on misc stuff, gloves, knee pads, med kit etc. about to acquire a .22 from my grandfather next time I see him but want another rifle as well.
>>30200273
Listed prices are "new" condition prices
>>30200283
Is that $200-$300 carrier + plates? Or just the carrier?
>>30200273
Would you mind ranking them or they all similar quality just depends on taste?
>>30200292
Just the carrier. Are the ar500 plates decent quality?
>>30200292
That's just for the carrier. Another $400-600 for plates. Armor is expensive and is usually the next to last piece of kit people get aside from NODs or super expensive optics.
If you get armor, do it right. If spending this much is too painful, get other gear instead.
>>30200295
AR500 plates are what they are. Some people prefer them. They're heavier, that's for sure. As for the quality of the carriers, they're all about the same. The Banshee, 5.11, and the LBX are probably a little poorer quality than the rest, but I know several people who run em with no issues. I wear a carrier daily and would run any of these and not worry.
>>30199814
>>30199876
Yeah you got cucked, and you should pay attention to who the seller is on amazon.
I bought a bunch of cheap shit from the cheapest dealers for the stalker challenge, and a lot of the shit was fake.
>>30199610
What sling is that?
>>30200368
>run
>>30199925
Would you be adverse to side by side open topped rifle pouches (either cloth or TACO) and then side by side pistol pouches? That would keep your ammo up front for riding in a car, but would still make the overall front slimmer.
>>30200626
Or just use a kangaroo insert and put the pistol mags on the cbund.
source patrol arrived today, gonna hike with it this weekend and see how it wears.
>>30200557
Ferro Concepts slingster my man
Are there any good options for the back of the plate carrier? I'm not in need of anything, I was mostly just curious.

I should take some more with my AK stuff instead

Besides, I think even STT tubes are better than the IOTV, no?
>>30201663

Wondering if I should have gone with 45 liters, but I can fit my tent, sleeping bag, MRE's and everything else in this one so it should be fine.
>>30201872

>>30201881

I have >>30202890, they're comfy as fuck. Boots in pic related. I got the wtaerproof ones. They work well in that respect but my feet can get pretty hot and sweaty if it's warm enough out. Not a huge issue I have sweaty feet anyway, but just something to know. The non-waterproof ones breath a whole lot better. I've been kind of debating getting those in low height to use as daily drivers, while the mid's stay my hiking/innawoods/shooting boots.
>>30203022
Yeah I also have the waterproof, and my feet get hot in them too. My feet don't sweat a whole lot so I don't mind it that much.

Do you want one that only has off/on or are ones that have variable output but with memory good too?
Most good lights have an on/off button that you can select level or modes with contextual presses or holds of that one button. You don't even notice the other modes or levels 95% of the time as the button acts only as an on/off during normal use.

You have to be wary of sellers. Make sure the product has at least 50 reviews and five photos.
I only ever got snookered once, but it wasn't so bad. I wanted a Rothco-type TAD knockoff in ATACS-FG, so I was basically asking to get robbed in the first place. The jacket was actually in a pattern called "MILTAC-FG", a Chinese bootleg of ATACS-FG, the same colors but done in a "digital" pattern. I actually liked it and the jacket itself was no worse than a Rothco, so I didn't complain.

How important is a helmet. I noticed a lot of guys with plate carriers don't have helmets.
Also, where to patch?
>>30209014
unless fragmentation is a serious concern helmets arent that important unless you want the best way to carry NOD's
>>30209026
>>30209014
Yeah, even actual soldiers who do real long dismounted missions will sometimes take their helmet off on the downlow during a hike. The weight just isn't worth it unless you are dealing with explosives or need a NOD mount.
Gear queers tend to pretty much focus on rifle threats only. If you wanted more all encompassing protection, you may as well go all out with helmet + full armor carrier + nut flap.
>>30209026
HAHAHAHA THIS fucking guy...
Helmets are what separates the pros from the fuds and protect from 1/3rd of casualties and 2/3rds of fatalities. The people that say helmets don't matter have never deployed, seen someone come back with a hole in their helmet and their nvg plate shattered into pieces thanking Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for their heavy and uncomfortable issued helmet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbCK2Tb_i30
>>30209086
helmets are only IIIA, they're primary purpose is to defeat fragmentation threat, guys can get lucky and have it stop rounds but I wouldn't count on it.
>>30209129
There is no luck necessary, helmets save lives regularly and head wounds are more profuse and take people out of the fight quicker because of the nature of the trauma... What I am saying is, if you plan on actually using your gear set-up and surviving to fight another day, you would have a helmet...

>>30209014
Here's where you can get the patch:
http://www.kelsmilitary.com/HeerBreastInsignia/GBI-007.html
But before you buy it look up how to apply a German Bevo patch, it's requires lots of complicated cutting and taping down to get it to look right. I did that plus added velcro to the back.
On the helmet, the brain is the most vital organ, and I'd like to protect it. Others have mentioned fragmentation, but many people have survived rifle shots to the head from wearing their ACH. I didn't see it on my deployment, but in the deployment before mine two guys were hit with rifle rounds and survived because they were wearing their helmet. One from an AK and one from a Draganov.
When returning fire, your head is going to be the most exposed. To not try and protect that, and cite "it adds weight" is hypocritical. Plates add weight, but you want to protect your vitals, don't you?
I don't criticize anyone for not wanting to wear a helmet, I've worn them long enough to know that it does suck for long periods of time, but the helmets we have now (the ACH) is the best in the world and taken 100+ years to get to. To not take advantage of that doesn't make sense to me. Y'all roll with what you want, I'm wearing a helmet.

>The people that say helmets don't matter have never deployed, seen someone come back with a hole in their helmet and their nvg plate shattered into pieces thanking Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for their heavy and uncomfortable issued helmet...
Generalizations, the post.
Having reduced weight, especially on your noggin allows for better situational awareness. If you're sweaty, uncomfortable, and fighting against your own gear, you're taking your attention away from your surroundings.
In some circumstances it is preferable to sacrifice material protection for increased mobility and awareness. Comfort is a constantly overlooked aspect of weighing gear choices.

If I were you, I would look at the 6sh117 or TNTG 83 VEST MODULAR.
>>30209728
i would be buying it to add to my collection of surplus rigs
>>30209747
ah, then carry on.
Here is a resource that might be helpful.

So where do you guys buy your new gear?
What brands are good for what products?
Looking for solid field shirts that dont break the bank, any tips?
>>30209234
I like it anon but why the us army? that's kinda gay if ur not a real solder
>>30210869
Dickies. Durable and comes in many solid colors.
Bonus: If you throw some dickies shorts on, tube socks, adidas, and unbutton the shirt, you cholo now.
>>30210869
literally any shirt in a neutral color.

5 bucks a pop. -20% since youre not paying swedish sales tax, but i dont know about shipping.
>>30210969
I am. I just took my nametape off.
>>30211738
oh neat
>>30208739
I did a physical event in that kit that required 3 miles of running and obstacle course. Shit was tits and light as ass.
>>30212636
>and light as ass
over 20lbs is pretty standard bud.
>>30212684
This kit was lighter than my old kit. I never weighed my old one though. So maybe it just felt better and didn't weigh any less.
>>30200431
What carrier are you using broski? Looks pretty slick.
Just came in today, really fast ship time surprisingly.
>>30212801
Ferro concepts slickster
Bring your own trauma pad, because there is no padding
>>30212829
neat, I wish they'd make ak74 holster
>>30212912
so theres no 3d mesh on the inside?
learned a few things today
1, helmet from now on, even when gear queering. it is straight saving my noggin.
2, ear pro. the cheapo peltors i got have been on point. never going back to in ear.
>>30212938
have you been banging your head on shit?
>>30212916
FC were very conservative with the spacer mesh, so much, so that's was uncomfortable to wear the slickster over a button-down shirt without comfyizing it.
I fixed mine by putting the plates in a bubble wrap envelopes.
>>30212938
In-ear has its purpose like packing away just in case, but wait until you get the double up red pill
Using the muffs for SA
>>30212954
nothing i could avoid. but thats what happens when working with vehicles. something i hadnt, couldnt work on by myself in the woods
>>30200790
What boots? What kneepads?
>>30213151
Kneepads are deadbirds.
>>30213151
>boots
Lowa Renegade LL mid - all around what I sport.
Salomon quest 4d gtx - good for rainy days.
>kneepads
Arcteryx knee caps
>>30209371
Hadn't thought about the rifle/pistol pouches. That's definitely a good idea.
>>30212912
Coolio, and that that's the same issue I had with my velocity systems low vis but I picked up some surplus ones cheap at a place near base.
>>30212916
You could try shooting them an email and asking, I remember them saying in a video they made custom one off jobs here and there. No harm in asking. The quality is really great actually
>>30212999
interesting the Perroz is quite comfy to wear on its own
>>30213211
>>30213230
Thanks famalam
>>30213287
I'm waiting for them to release a Sphinx Holster before I drop money on HTC
>>30213288
comme si comme sa
I was eyeballing the Perroz at the time when I was shopping for a slick. But, I got the notice that Ferro had restocked the slickster, so I went that route.
>>30213379
I'm just glad they carry an m1 PPQ holster, been looking everywhere for a quality one but they are pretty elusive.
I can't really remember if I even had trauma sheers at any point, but if I did, I can't find them
>>30209348
gonna stay tuned regarding the fresh rig
>>30213041

>>30209300
good bro is that glock mag even seated? Inspired by this KISS shit.
>>30211394
Jesus Christ, shit is cheap on there. I poked around and the prices are super low as a whole.
>>30201704
how was NTC?
Sure I have my Eagle RRV and my new LBT 6094S but I got mad jelly of cheapy comfy surplus rigs people have and I decided to make this fucking abortion.
I have never bought condor garbage ever but I figure because I only paid $20CAD for the SADF Pattern 83 I could just use it make this my cheap ass comfy rig. I am pretty excited. Will update when I get everything in.
>>30214035
>don't talk to me or my son ever again
>>30211394
I can vouch for the site, guy emails you personally after placing an order and it came faster than some shit from canada. what the fuck canada?
>>30213379
Hey Skelly, where was it that someone found out where you live by looking at the landmarks in the background of your pictures. Was that /arg/? That shit is bananas.
>>30213379
what gun exactly?
>>30210869
fuck Filson dont buy their over priced shit. Only shirts I will ever spend money on are Peterson and those are easy to find at the goodwill or value village for like $15.
>>30213504
The mag wasn't seated in the photo. I just threw it in for the picture because I was about to clean my Glocknade.
Eventually this secondary kit is going to be upgraded to match my other kit a little more, but it's what I had laying around.
>>30209026
>unless fragmentation is a serious concern helmets arent that important unless you want the best way to carry NOD's
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Helmets are the singlemost important piece of ballistic PPE. If frag isn't a concern then bullets and just plain bumping your head into shit is. I know that uncontrolled hemorrhage from multiple sites (i.e extremity) is the largest killer but goddamn protect your fuckin' melon.

>>30214884
got any recs?
>>30214703
Valmet m78 that was converted to a 74 look a like.
>>30214884
so you're saying you need a helmet to walk around daily? good for you bud.
>>30214884
if you have basic reading comprehension and can understand things beyond whats written you'd understand that statement was clearly meant for civilians with gear.
SHTF ain't gunna happen in a full combat scenario where a helmet with IIIA is at the top of your to buy list.

>>30211394
Thanks for the tip, looks like it would do great outdoors.
>>30214708
Yea probably overpriced, but they sure look the part.
Looked at Mountain Khaki ones and Patagonia etc. all expensive as hell too.
>>30202655
What??!!?! WHY?!
>>30198781
Holy fuck, buy a non-shit camelback. The issue ones are awful.
>>30198781
>>30217484
Just buy Source.
>>30217484
first, that isnt the issued, its actually camelbak
second, source beats camelbak by a mile
third, not going to buy a piece of acu gear. thats fucking stupid. ill use whats issued or whats free.
>>30217069
Sorry, I was just whining because I've been waiting for months. The websites says they'll have them in July though.
>>30217698
Oh thank god! Practically the only retailer that sells them in the UK got restocked after several months a couple of weeks ago. Sold out entirely within a couple of days. I was panicking madly.
Bloody airsofters, they ruin everything.
>>30213885
Not as bad as it could've been.
Still no reason to stay there for 21 days if we were just training for 3.
>>30217951
You guys get to eat from those taco trucks? Honestly, those alone make NTC a little less shitty.
>>30220382
We were bigger fans of the Schmuck truck and the ice cream trucks.
The tacos would induce explosive shitting, and there was always a shortage of toilet paper.

Anyone have experience with PIG gloves? Are they worth the price over some Mechanix?
>>30220382
Did you make the PC?
>>30221348
Short answer? Yes, get the PIG gloves.
I've only been using the FR versions for about 6 months now, but they're not even that worn out around the fingertips, even after all the fuckerey I've done with remedial action and barrel changes on the 240.
My old Non-FR FDT gloves are sitting in my bedroom drawer, after 2 years they just have a couple holes in them around where the vents were.
>>30210021
Ebay or military surplus shops, evike becuse airshits buy real gear too
>>30200431
Clean the cum off your pants.
>>30202934
What boots?
Where does /gqt/ buy their medical supplies?
Just got my first pouch on my chest rig and now need to fill it.
>>30209517
Go onto bidorbuy, you can get one shipped to your door straight from south africa for 90
