It's really great at humanizing the pirates and giving an insight into their society beyond the stereotypes. I think the author may have gotten a bit to close to his material in terms of idealizing their society and downplaying the bad shit, but overall it's really the only book I've read which tackles pirates as people.
>>30251037
Well put, I havn't read it in long time. Probably time to bust it out again. I wish they would delve in the bad shit more.
>>30251518
I just picked up 'Pirate Hunter of the Caribbean' about Woodes Rogers, who is a privateer mentioned in the other book. This book will probably take a more negative view of the pirates.

I can recommend 2 small/medium packs
The smaller one is a Black Diamond Bullet - my main daypack. I think it's just under 20L capacity, accepts a hydration bladder, and is incredibly comfortable and durable all around (mine has held up for the past 8+ years without any notable wear, and the YKK zippers are invincible)
Other pack I can recommend that expands to 42L - Spec Ops brand THE pack. It's even more robust and compresses nicely, though molle isn't really greyman approved

So you're a serb-boo?
>>30252587
Wool has the lowest abrasion resistance of probably anything in your kit, and certainly an order of magnitude less than your pack. Putting it on the outside-bottom is just plain daft.

first of all, that blanket is probably older than both of us combined, second of all, I've taken that blanket on countless hikes and trips camping and its yet to magically unravel itself like you seem to think its capable of.
>>30252391
I'm too old to act like a tough guy. I'm all about quality of life. The pillow weighs almost nothing and packs easily. The flip flops are actually a great piece of kit for foot health, because the more you wear them at camp the more both your feet and your boots get time to air out. The coffee cup allows for actually drinking instant coffee in MREs.
>>30252735
Those tri-zips are da shit for mission packs. The way they open allows for accessing specific things so easily.
I'll have to snag one eventually to be my daypack. I currently just use an old Hydrastorm pack for day long walks.

>>30252708
You're right bud. Clearly we've all forgotten what your enlightened intelligence has not, that the proper way to backpack is to use the backpack as a sled and push with our feet across the terrain, this leaving a wool blanket to be ill suited for being carried outside. I tip my fedora to you, gentle sir.
>>30250829
No dude, the wool blanket is on the bottom or your pack, with zero/debris water protection. If you set it down it'll pick up shit. If it gets wet it'll weigh 20lbs and take forever to dry unless you start a fire to dry it because it's wool.
There's nothing wrong with using one or having it on your pack, but it's certainly possible to do it wrong
Semi-newgun here. I need help making a kit to go with my M24/47 SlavMauser. Here's all my gear from my airshitting days. What use?
I'm working on an ALICE B.O.B./ruck, does anyone know some mods
>>30253051
everyones a critic. I pretty much always hike with my blanket on the outside of the pack, if I stop for a short while I just rest the pack on my foot, if for a long while I usually end up sitting on the blanket anyways. wool doesnt really soak up water like you think it does. I hear your point and maybe I'll toss it in a ditty sack I carry but I've yet to have an issue with it simply strapped to the outside.

I know this probably gets asked every GQ thread, but is there some kind of first time PC buyers infographic/list somewhere? I was wanting to grab the ats aegis v2, but don't know much about PCs in general.
Do any of you gearfags actually go long distance running or do fitness training in your kit?
>>30253783
that kit looks comfy and functional tbqh, not everything needs to be low drag operator gear. do a few hikes in 18th or 19th century kit and you start to realize that old school gear isn't so bad.
>>30253876
Yea bro, I go to zumba classes in full kit

>>30253876
Long distance running in kit is a bad idea. I know a lot of people do it as a young guy moto game, but really, it doesn't do much positive for you.
No matter how motivated you are, you will not stop your knees, shins, and backs from getting blown out. Making long distance impact exercise with kit part of your routine is a recipe for long term residual pain.
Low impact like ruckmarching isn't too terrible, so long as you keep it to a low impact sustained walking pace. (and really learning to *walk* efficiently is an undervalued skill anyway).
If you truly think you must exercise with kit on, try things like pullups, bleacher exercises, and *short* duration explosive sprints.
In terms of building leg and core strength, it is much more efficient (most people ignorant the efficient part, so I'll restate for emphasis that weight lifting gives faster gains) and safe to do exercises in the gym than it is to try and turn running into a weight exercise.
If you in a combat situation need to run in gear, you should be physically conditioned from proper exercises to manage. But it's like shooting without earpro on- in combat, you do what you have to do, but if you do it in training you are only hurting your body.

>>30252857
Bivvy, pad, and bag are lightest. Hammocks need trees but dont need a clear spot and are great in warm whether but lower than mid 50s you end up needing insulation other than a sleeping bag. Tents are harder to pack and need a clear footprint but are comfier.
If you try hammock camping in cool temps without an under/over quilt, you are gonna have a bad time.
>>30255469
Can confirm
I've done it twice
Both times assuming since it was 70-80 during the day, the night wouldn't suck.
It is terrible, your feet get insanely cold, the rest of you is freezing. Not fun
>>30254092
Ok. I was going to use grenade pouches for that, but I might grab one.
>>30255498
I went camping in 70s days and thought mid 50s. I had to use a space blanket with all my clothes on to keep from dieing when it ended up going into the mid 40s.
Shit sucked.
I ended up buying a SOL bivvy and reactor bag liner in case nature decides to say fuck your week of backpacking.
>>30250735
In my pack in pic related I have a change of clothes, food, TP, paracord, duct tape, extra water, extra medical supplies, and extra ammo. I have a larger High Sierra hiking pack that I keep my tent, sleeping bag, and other long term survival gear in. It's what I take camping and hiking. I took it out and was able to easily survive 3 days with it with just shit I had without issue. I actually ended up over packing which lead to the 12 mile hike to the camp site a bitch since I had way too much shit with me for only 3 days. The good news is I'd be confident I could survive with that stuff for more than 3 days.
>>30255508
Where can I get M24/47 stripper clips online?
welp I ended up getting a really good deal on a pair of Alpha LT pants in multicam. not the biggest fan of regular multicam but whatever they'll work
>>30255600
Can confirm, definitly had some cold as fuck nights in my hammock. But for me not being on the ground is worth it. I now have an under quilt and a down blanket I bring with me during colder temps or if I'm hiking to higher elevations.
>>30255469
>>30255498
I feel like hammock camping here in Florida would be the way to go. Not likely to wake up sleeping in a newly formed puddle and easier to find a place to set it up. idk though I haven't done much outdoorsing down here

>>30256335
And how much should a kit weigh?
>>30256035
The bivvy goes "on top" of the sleeping bag. Good for one-nighters. I'll use the hammock if there are trees around. For more comfort, or for a few days, I'll use the tent.
>>30256239
Is that a problem?
>>30256435
>again, someone who's actually depolyed correct me, but when have you sprinted more than a half mile in a firefight? carrying bullshit for hours is way more important than brah, dyel.
I like ya mostly, so I hope I'm not misreading you here. I am against running for distance in kit. Very much so.
>but when have you sprinted more than a half mile in a firefight?
Actually it happened a number of times, while I was carrying a ruck no less. But the point of my earlier post was that sprinting with all that weight wrecks the body. Of course in combat, shit happens, but in physical training routines there is no reason to run for distance with a ruck or kit. It is both safer and *gives better results* to instead do proper, safe physical training to condition the body for when it comes time to be forced to run with weight.
>>30256335
A rucksack is a framed (internal or external) pack that is larger than a backpack.
>>30256482
As much as you need, but as little as you can get away with.
>>30256584
So it's mission dependent? Could I get away without a sleep system?
>>30256624
It's a big container. You put stuff you will need in said container and then lug it to a place, then you take the stuff out.
Are you going to need a sleep system for where you are lugging all your stuff? If so, bring. If not, leave it.
>>30256663
Gotcha. Just wondering if there is a list of items that you take with you no matter the mission.

Hey /gq/, first time poster here, with a really stupid question.
I have an antique surplus harness similar to the one pictured here, and I love the simplicity and function of the belted harness with two pouches - with a spare in the back.
Barring it's effectiveness in a real-life situation, or even it's decidedly outdated design, is there any way to reproduce a "modern" equivalent to this?
Would it be a battle belt with suspenders? Is there something even similar to that?
What are some options?
>>30257135
>Would it be a battle belt with suspenders? Is there something even similar to that?
Yes and there are lots of battle belt and suspender manufacturers just google it, fampai

I don't use a sleeping bag. I custom made a "sleep system" its essentially a liner bag inside a fleece bag and that goes in my sleeping system. I made it (got my sister to sew it up for me) and for lighter hot weather I can do just the liner or for colder I can do another fleece or bring a blanket in with me etc etc. It works really fucking well.
So I want to get a bunch of gear but I don't know where to start.
pls help

I'm in central California. I've only had a tick bite me once and that was in northern Cali with no repellent. I am more worried about mosquitos when I'm innawoods. the low water levels really concentrated them in one area w
Right where we camped last time I went backpacking. We used deet and I smoked my jacket on the fire and hey would fly right at me and about 4 inches from my skin they would veer off.
>>30258379
Depends on the kneepads but generally yes. If you wear pants with built i. Kneepads it's not an issue. Dead bird knee caps are pretty comfy but I personally have never worn them for longer then an hour.

You don't even need a bulky mess kit. How do you replace a blanket and an axe and a knife and backpack and rope and a tarp with a mess kit please tell me

Hey there my dudes
I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Osprey Mk4 body armour?
I'm autistically in love with how it looks, and I want to know if it's got any major flaws that would make it a bad buy
>>30250890
>>30259646
Sorry for having nothing to say, but that is one cute puppy
>>30254045
half a days worth of salt if you are just sitting at home maybe.
if your innawoods doing more than just floundering around a campsite then your going to need salt to keep your sodium levels up from all the sweat.
One time I went on a 100 mile bike ride and by the end of it, the tops of my shoulder had these fat salt crystals growing on top of them. It literally looked like I used a salt shaker on my shoulders.
>>30259943
It is awfully cute
I wish I knew what kind of dog it was, the best I can tell from the image is that it's a mongrel with some bernard in it

I see exbong guys sporting them when fighting against isis with the peshmerga
So they couldn't be too bad, or they would have swapped to something more gucci.
>>30252698
Always wanted more info on that kit. Only ever saw two pics of it. Also wanted to know what that pack was. Looks like the serb packs, but not totally from what I have seen.

>Mystery Ranch 3
How do you feel that pack is holding up?
>>30258201
its like Arcteryx' lowest costing item with its best performance.
>>30256563
>It is both safer and *gives better results* to instead do proper, safe physical training to condition the body for when it comes time to be forced to run with weight.
This man is correct. For the people that have the joints and ligaments to spare, go ahead and run will all the weight you like and enjoy being forever young.
I want a 3 day pack, the Swiss surplus packs look nice and I've seen people using them. In my price range the best one's I can get are either surplus or some shitty made in china oper8tor knockoff, so inb4 "muh milsurp is shitty for camping"
Anyone got any suggestions on a nice surplus pack of small or medium size for about $25-30? I'd really rather avoid the shitty made in china oper8tor knockoffs if at all possible but if I'm wrong about the quality by all means tell me.
>>30261171
>excuses old people tell themselves
>>30261376
Well, yeah? Because we burned up what we had while young lol. If you are one of those that can sprint a 5min mile with a 50lbs ruck on, good on you for being a PT stud, I'd be jelly.

>>30261131
its a home made roll up pack. It's a oil cloth or wax canvas rectangle with belts sewn to it.
You can very easily make one.
>>30261658
It isn't a milsurp pack? Or are you just saying that one can be made relatively easy?
What are some good chest rigs for a FAL (pic related)? I have six mags and I feel for 7.62 that is enough.
>>30261740
Anything made to take AR10 mags will work
>>30261740
chicom type 63
>>30261717
no that is not a milsurp pack. That pack in the picture was made by hand. Its called a roll up or roll top backpack. Its just a rectangle shaped sack. like imagine a brick with cloth form fitting to its shape then remove the cloth and roll the open top up like its a lunch bag or something then add straps to keep it tight and shoulder straps.
pic related is a Serb pack you are talking about. It's fucking tiny. I use it to carry two one liter bottles of water, my jacket, and a couple granola bars and it is completely full.
i was able to put a order of chicken wings in there and use the fold out pouch to carry my water bottles tho, I bought it for a small cheap bushcraft kit. I'm gonna just put really small stuff in it and see how it goes.
i would love to make a roll top backpack like that other image tho. it looks comfy and aesthetic.

I've heard good things about these. Downside is you're paying for 5.56 inserts you may not want.
Another option is the HSP heavy rig.
>>30261740
>>30261771
this is an option. There are chest rigs specifically designed for FAL mags, surplus, reproduction, and high speed nylon gear.
>>30261785
Thank you, I can find the patterns for the roll top packs easy. Finally can get to work then heh.
>>30261740
I've been using a standard USGI FLC with AR10 mag pouches. It has room for fighting load and IFAK.
>>30251888
South GA bro here too. What store are you talking about, I've yet to find a good one. (Golden Isles area)
>>30250735
Does anybody know of any functioning (Kevlar not nylon) re-incarnations of the PT Armor from the 80s-Early 2000s? Only thing I've found are Airshit 'replicas'.
so have any trips rethought their stances on ballistic helmets?
>>30259979
For a second I thought you meant on a motorcycle and I was going to accuse you of being a filthy lying pussy. Boy do I have an egg on my face.
>>30262058
it stopped a pistol bullet in a situation that he knew he needed one.
good job, you gunna wear a helmet 24/7 now to avoid possible active shooter situations?
point still stands, for 95% of civilians a bump helmet will work just as good.
>>30262089
>implying you wouldn't wear full kit 34/7 if it was socially acceptable
>>30262101
I would without hesitation. Chest rigs and PC are good at holding stuff
>>30262089
it stopped a 5.56
any comments on the AWS operator pc?
>>30262187
At indoor ranges?
>>30262187
do you have actual proof of that?
even if it did it looks like it got a grazing shot.
>>30262200
yo, you get your alpha LT pants yet? i managed to score a multicam pair for 170 bucks.
>>30262101
probably.
>>30250767
nice cadpat does your Sgt. know that you wear kit while airsofting
>>30257288
Just get an ALICE belt and suspender you can attach most if not all molle pouches can attach to it.
>>30262236
>implying there arent huge airsoft nerds in the military
loyal eddies are huge gear queers and airsoft on the regular.
>>30262200
was trying to find the picture I thought was put out by OPD that specifically said 5.56. Can't find it now so it was probably wrong and deleted.
>>30262214
You got the wrong gear queer. I wear Levis, as a general thing.
I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but i am looking for a big Backpack for a several week long hike which also features Molle webbing. Can someone recommend me a backpack?
>>30262262
ah right, I'm thinking of chimps.
long night.
>>30262270
mystery ranch seems pretty based.
>>30262270
The old Marine ILBE ruck is comfy as hell and has about a half acre of webbing on it. They run $100 on eBay.
>>30262270
I love my Mystery Ranch pack. It has some MOLLE on the sides.
Some people swear by Eberlestock packs.
If you can live without MOLLE, then you can start looking at civilian Osprey packs for some good stuff.
My biggest question/concern is this though: You don't seem to already have a large pack, which implies that you don't do this a lot. Yet you are asking for a pack capable of a multi-week outing. It seems like a quite a jump to go from nothing to multiweek.
>>30262199
Is good design, slightly heavier than LBT because of 1000D cordura on the outside vs 500D. Not anything super cutting edge but is very well priced.
>>30250735
Clothes, shelter/sleeping bag, food, a water filter, ammo, and a canteen
Nothing is in my ruck currently as I don't have one, but I have a Yukon Outfitters pack on the way I'm going to give a try for shits and giggles.
should be neat
>>30262323
I'm looking for functional, comfortable, inexpensive, durable. Not really worried about it having super high speed features, I live around Orlando and I want something I can train in and grab and go. I've heard it's basically a 6094 copy and sounds legit to me.
>>30258614
What is saving 30$ a month even less or more if you can.
>tfw can't justify buying the flatpack yet.
>>30262318
The Mystery Ranch pack looks good, thanks for the tip.
And i'm just looking for a new Backpack now because the old one i have has a few holes in it from the last time i crossed the alps and is roughly 30 years old by now.
>>30262371
Alright, just making sure. I've had some people in person really overestimate how much innawoods they were capable of doing with no prep.
The Mystery ranch internal frame is very sturdy. I've got a tactical 6500. If you're do real long term shit look at the tactical Mountain Ruck.
>>30262350
Those it'll do. One consideration is that a velcro type cummerbund, especially with a front flap, is not going to be as fast to throw on as one that has tubes or fastex clips. If you want fast don/doff and don't intend on running any side armor, then I would look into the AT Armor Contingency PC or a similar design. Or you could try the First Spear Tubes retrofit cummerbund on the AWS.
>>30262362
Nothing flat about that pack. Goddamn.
What's the best way to secure floppy backpack straps?
>>30262701
Tape.

I'm in Columbia right now, so basically nothing except the usual tourist items.
on a side note, after noticing that whole fiasco with Team Wendy hosting that murderous hag hillary, I'll be looking to upgrade the helmet liner on my ACH when I get back.
