Night desert camo combat top. DO WANT
Also gear queer general
I guess Team Wendy went full dildo.
Which is a shame, I wanted to get their liner and chinstrap for my MICH.
I guess I'm going with ops core.
Decided to play dress up with some of my gear. Took a picture for a friend and I thought I'd share it here
>>30269408
Holy shit you just get to your unit. You faggot.
>>30268885
So you finally got that thing tailored? I was thinking of doing that with my pair of night desert pants. How much did it cost you?
>>30269754
I got the plate carrier for free from a friend, I'm not in the military
Is there any gear that is made for tall as fuck people like me?
Trying to find anything that fits my long as fuck torso and legs is already a challenge, I don't know if there is any military or tacticool gear that comes in long sizes.
>>30269408
What's that thing around your neck called? I want to buy one but people look at me funny when I ask if they have any hadji scarfs.
>>30269787
keffiyeh or shemagh is what they're usually called.
Been thinking about picking up a night camo jacket because reasons. Since they were intended to fit over other clothes, how do you figure the size so that it doesn't look like you're wearing a jacket many sizes too large? I saw one in person at a gun show and it came down to the guys knees. Are they that long?
>>30269770
All military gear should come in a long variant. For example I'm issued medium long or whatever the fuck sized uniforms. It might be regular long though
>>30269795
Thnx bb
>>30269858
>>30269858
Pure sex
>>30268885
Where to cop?
>>30269800
Get a medium if you wear a large and want it to fit normally. I wear a large and got a large parka and cut it short and it is loose but comfy. I'm going to buy a few more for projects and one to keep and not fuck up
>>30269800
They are supposed to go down to your knees they are parkas not jackets. The goretex reversible one is shorter
>>30270080
I cut like 6 to 8 inches off this one
I need some first hand experience.
I am deciding on whether to get the ATS Aegis V2 or the Mayflower APC.
Mayflower
>testimony of easier shouldering of rifle and punching out with handgun.
>testimony of better weight comfort from higher placement of shoulder straps
>built in kangaroo pouch and admin pouch.
>6x6 hard side plate might need extra plate retention strap or prove to be a bit tight.
>no mesh spacer/padding
Aegis
>Mesh spacers/padding
>cummerbund comes with 6x6 side plate retention
>no kangaroo or admin pouch
>no testimony on how easy to shoulder rifle or pistol punch out ease
both are $220-229
I don't care about drag handle. Anyone have any opinion of take on this?
>>30270777
I don't have any first hand knowledge but I've heard only good things about Mayflower
I am expecting mags, camo, and some patches. I checked my mailbox again this morning and still nothing. I had ordered on Memorial Day weekend, so very disappoint.
I ordered an Swedish M90 jacket from Varusteleka (Finland) and got that after just a few days. How?
>>30270777
Shellback banshee
Also jackpot
>>30270080
>GoreTex
>reversible
What sorcery is this?
Sup, im completely new to gear stuff. Got a question: Can/Does it make sense to use an empty plate carrier to carry pouches?
>>30270777
you can always add padding in the form of pontoons/usgi hip pads, plus better resale value with the APC.
>>30270912
No. get a chest rig or a HPG chest pouch for that.
>>30270903
While the shellback banshee certainly doesn't sound or look bad, I am looking more for a carrier with ample arm/shoulder clearance.
Hell, if I can toss in $120 more, I'd go for the Scarab. But I'd rather put that towards plates.
>>30270899
Some companies create shipping labels and wait until they have enough orders piled up to call ups for a pick up. Some companies send stuff by cargoships instead of air. I've literally got shit from China the day and a half after I ordered it and stuff I ordered from my state a month after it was "shipped"
>>30270910
It's water proof on both sides and you are uncomfortable.
>>30268885
Product name? Please thank you holy fuck need this
>>30271504
from Kratos SOG. They're selling that shit on ebay only though
>>30271544
What's that specific shirt?
>>30270070
So if I'm a medium get a small and get it tailored?
>>30269770
6'8" here
Gotta be willing to look. American bdus come in long and extra long, so those are easily had. Try eBay
Russian stuff is hard, but if you look and ask around you'll find it.
For plates yet esapi large if you're near my height, when you buy a PC you can specify size usually or they'll have a large version.
I'll answer what ever questions you have.
>>30271966
>dat S10 plus riskie camo
Damn son, that looks great.
What camouflages would look cool on a white gas mask? I've got this russian PBF and I haven't been able to reach a consensus with myself in which pattern looks better with it.
>>30271905
if you are gonna get it tailored get a medium.
>>30272135
I personally would like partizan with it, got a boner for it recently
The S10 is my favorite mask, same with the digi flora
I just got a UV-5R and I've been playing around with it, listening to frequencies and whatnot. What are some good resources and what's some cool shit I can do with it?
>>30272208
I'm going to note that for the upcoming months, perhaps on Christmas those eBay sellers will get it for cheap. I also thought it would be pretty correct to use a camouflage coming from the same period the mask was actually used in the Soviet forces and a camouflage from the same country as well. Another point, are the sizes too different from American stuff? I'll admit, i'm a skinnyfat and I got to wear L/XL stuff.
About masks, the S10 is one of my favorites too. I like the PBF as well, but one of my biggest favorites is the canadian C3 as well.
>>30272233
youtube has tons of videos on the uv-5r here is an info graphic
>>30269800
>>30271905
helping you convinced me i needed to buy another one. so i bought a parka and the pants.
>>30272277
Russian sizes are a little different. There are size charts on the internet that help. You shouldn't have a problem finding stuff as long as you aren't as tall as me. Mine was a bitch.
Here's the rest of mine, m40 is my second favorite
The C3 filter adapter sucks
>>30270912
Not really, unless you got lots of neato stuff to clip onto extra molle I guess. Just get a chest rig if all you want to do is carry pouches. I can actually carry two pistols in mine plus AK mags.
>>30272307
Let me ask you something, do you find these masks with a strap system to be any comfortable/less 'tight' as the full face masks such as the GP-5? Sometimes I think I should've ordered a size 3 instead of a size 2, but these are NBC gas masks, they're meant to be air-tight.
That's good then. I guess i'll roll back here when i'm about to buy. Even though the only camo I got here is a Rhodesian reproduction painted in urban camo (i'm a sucker for urban stuff). If you're saying I shouldn't have a problem even being a tad chubby (i'm 5'11'), then it's most likely right since you're tall as fuck (not like that's a problem).
Anyone got any suggestions for carrying a Javelin CLU?
>>30272355
The straps are a million times better
The GP-5 blows if you have any amount of hair. They are Still air right, so that isn't an issue
Yeah. You won't have a problem, you're probably size 56/58-5/6
I'm 58-8
>>30272451
A truck
>>30272451
just put a sling around the two handles. like one of those old milsurp slings for the canteens. or get an extra strap from one of the launcher tubes.
>>30269383
why do people put coyote buttstocks on otherwise completely black guns? why does it piss me off so much?
>>30272479
I know what are you talking about. PBF is pretty good though, especially because of its spooky looks (actually one of the things I look for in gas masks). Yup, the hair kinda bothers you,but it isn't a bad mask overall. Sometimes I use it around the home when i'm cleaning it, or even when i'm cleaning my computer's motherboard (I got rhinitis and that aids me a lot, hell, my neighbors saw me wearing it and dude got interested in gas masks because of me). But I noted that, probably going to get a strap mask when I buy another.
Well, it's good to know there are camouflages that fit me. I was starting to think I was too fat for operator clothing.
Thanks for the info, anon. :3
>>30272522
Gotcha, I highly recommend the S10/fm12 or the m40
Spooky looks are what got me into them in the first place lol
You should post your urban Rhodie
No problem
>>30272518
>why do people put coyote buttstocks on otherwise completely black guns?
cheaper.
also, you lay in the hot sun and put your face on a stock that collects more heat.
>why does it piss me off so much?
That's for you and your shrink to figure out
>>30272565
There you go. I got it tailored by a good tailor I know, did clothes for my family and has also experience tailoring stuff for armed forces (there's an AFB nearby where I live).
Pft, seems like you and me got a lot in common. I like them gas masks because of that spooky look. Probably my next buy is either the S10 or the C3 (the latter mostly because of the looks). And because they just...look cool, you know? And pic related, that's me.
>>30272626
Nice, also you aren't fat
Exactly, only reason I got my first is because it looked cool, the C3 looks even creepier if you can get the tube with it
bumpmang
>>30272180
Thank you
>>30272659
>tfw I had actually bought the mask, the boots, gloves and the camo for a STALKER cosplay
>tfw you look really good
Here's another pic I took. I've seen dark lenses for the S10, I think you should have them for extra spookiness. I'd get some for mine but the reflex of light on the lenses already give the spookiness necessary
Plus, thank you anon, you flatter me with such a compliment. I need to take new shots of myself with it on, those pics are at least two months old. You look good as well. Like I said, being tall isn't bad. I'd be your squad mate anytime, anon.

Nice dubs anon
I have a gulf war fetish and collect shit from that era.
If you aren't a hamplanet a medium will fit just fine.
They're fucking huge
The arms are baggy, and it's more like a 60 than a 35 for the chest
Like the other anons said, it's very very long
Like down to your knees.
They aren't good for NVGs, but they're /fa/ as fuck
Don't worry about it being too small
>>30272774
I was actually surprised it was a Rhodie reproduction. I just told her to get a urban pattern. I'm glad you like it, /k/ faggots really like Rhodesian stuff and I am aware of that.
Hey, it's my pleasure, anon. I would love to be your friend too, lol. You seem to be more experienced than me in the operator life.
>>30272823
they were designed to defeat only Russian gen 1 nvgs. people always test the pattern with other devices. Its rule of cool now days but it was a legitimate idea against the gen 1 russian nvgs because they had a grid pattern.
>>30272699
You need better jeans.
How do you ever expect to get tight groupings with such loose pants?
>>30272827

Oh I know haha, didn't think I'd be here this long. How long have you been here?
Georgia, you?
>>30272578
never seen somewhere where it was cheaper to buy a stock in coyote or FDE. if anything it's usually the opposite because of the colors popularity.
and if you don't have a tactical beard to protect your cheeks then you're doing it wrong.
>>30272953
ive seen brown stocks on sale when black wasnt- specifically the b5 sopmod. it happens.
>>30272952
Well I guess when you are anywhere on 4chan you don't expect to be that long too. I'm more around /vg/ and /lgbt/, but I was always a gun guy too so after this Sakuya tripfag post on /lgbt/, I decided to visit /k/ often since that's my kinda thing.
I'm from Brazil, actually. No guns here unless you're on the armed forces or you're a cop. Wish I could move out ASAP but i've got college and all, or else we could go innawoods together and simulate a firefight, lol.
>>30272985
Why not just go to your local Favela and buy a gun?
>>30272997
My dad has one. A Beretta Model 1934. He says he doesn't know where it is but he keeps it safe. If you got the guts to go to a favela (not my case), one can easy buy a revolver, but i'm too white for that shit.
Can anyone recommend a chest rig for a FAL? Preferably 5 mag that isn't several hundred dollars.
>>30268885
Kratos Gear is so amazing. I want a set from them real soon.
>>30272953
Part native nigger my beard growing operator status is weak.
>gloves
Does anybody have a recommendation for a pair of gloves I can use for anything physical??? I know ever slobbers over mechanix but I think they writing on them visible or not is butt ugly. I've heard of magpuls and oakleys since they've got reputation behind them; anybody care to help me out?
>>30269858
>>30269866
So I want a pair of them badass combat pants; but I keep finding that gen 2 & gen 3 vary in what material they use? In this picture I can see the stretch material above the knee pads. Does anyone know how I could differentiate the two???
>>30273294
USGI flyers gloves
>>30270051
go on Ebay and look up KSOG or Kratos Gear. I've found two of their accounts and they also have a site that is time limited in selection
>>30272985
Ah, well hopefully you can get a job here after college
>>30273340
I would love to. And that's my main goal, actually.
And then i'l try to see if I can find a cute guy to go innawoods with and do some butt stuff, lol.
>>30273294
>>30273324
can confirm flyers gloves are cooooooomfy.
>>30270777
Mayflower has APC's in Kryptec Typhoon if you're into that...

Good luck to you haha
>>30273555
Thanks bro! I should be around /k/. Who knows if I won't turn into a tripfag? Anyways,best of luck to you, anon. You're cool. Although something says this is not the last time we wre going to talk.
>>30268885
Currently working on a Vietnam U.S GI build.
>>30273294

>>30273766
Shit, forgot about the web gear.
>>30273766
>>30273881
How much that little diversion costed you, anon?
Also, you're doing that build for reenactment purposes?
>>30273766
>>30273881
bretty gud
>>30273895
A pretty penny to say the least, >>30273901 and yeah I'd like to do some reenacting with it.
>>30273941
Hey, nothin' wrong with that, buddy. Reenacment stuff ought to be cool, and if you feel like it, go ahead, I encourage you to do so.
Already got a matching weapon?
>>30273983
Sadly I do not, I'm saving up right now to go get a AR15 from an upcoming gunshow then gonna give it the furnishings from an M16A1 but finding an upper with no forward assist is gonna suck.
>>30274049
Alternatively you can find a genuine M16 from them but I think they're going to charge it as a collector's gun. Best of luck to you, pal, and show us your Vietnam gear when it's done too.
>>30274078
Thanks buddy I'll be sure to do that.
>>30273085
I think there's Fereday repros with 5 pouches floating around, check ebay.
>>30274049
Just grab a lower and slap an m16 kit on it. Then fondle the auto sear and imagine a world without idiots where you could enjoy it.
>>30274670
I was under the impression the M-16A1 kits had dried up. You got a source...?
>>30274750
I think he is just making a joke bud.
>>30273850
Any brand names on that, Anon? Or a specific kind?
>>30272944
nope we had to cut it down
>>30274911
Fox makes some nice gloves including a pair that are similar to the coveted Oakley gloves
keep in mind that MTB gloves do have graphics on them which may not be desirable
generally though i think a lot of the MTB gloves are a more robust than Mechanix
they're also not as cheap as Mechanix
https://www.foxracing.com/store/browse/mtb-gloves/_/N-fpwa0y
>>30274750
Whatacountry should be getting more in. There are others that had them when I looked at options a few months ago but I don't think I saved it.
Gun broker and armslist have them from time to time for reasonable prices.
Google around a bit and you might find one in stock.
>>30274877
Was not, was serious.
>>30273294
I love PU coated work gloves; it fits like a second skin and is a pleasure to work in.
I just keep a pair of cowhide gloves clipped to my belt loop on my pants if I'm expecting anything more.
So, thinking of grabbing a k98 bandolier to run with my M24/47. I'll probably use a wildland camelback and some sort of belt. Pic related, should I get?
I'm thinking about getting one of the reproduction Rhodesian chest rigs.
Should I?
>>30276345
No.
It's an old inferior design. If you are a collector sure why not. But if you are planning to use it for innawoods or airsoft i'd avoid it and get a more modern design.
>>30276572
Fair point, any suggestions?
>>30269383
How much is that bag?
>>30276572
Okay...
How about some 1958 pattern webbing?
>>30273085
Chicom type 63 worked good for me
>>30276624
The bag is a Blackhawk barrage hydration pack
MSRP $204.45 USD
I picked up mine in like-new shape for $50
>>30272952
No plans to cut it up yet. I might make a bandana to start with. It's not the thickest material so I wouldn't want to make a bag or anything out of it
>>30273227
I've been waiting over a month for my combat shirt from them. If it's quality i will be ok with it but I'd it isn't great I'm gonna be upset

it'd probably cost you like 20-30 bucks to ship from me to you.
definitely better than the baseline 200 dollar SADF rig he currently has listed.

I enjoy your loadouts, it feels more practical. Also the fact I love your back story.
What would be a good backpack for going camping solo with? Would I really need to bring a lot of stuff? I'm not gonna be hunting for my food.
And what are some resources that I should have if I'm gonna go out in the woods for around 3 days or so. I'm in the PNW.

>stainless steel wide mouth canteen and a mess kit
>water purification pump or filter.
>an axe and a folding saw if you plan on bush crafting
>synthetic base layer clothes for warmth.
then you add food and snacks and other shit.
as far as packs you could get a medium alice pack or any modern backpacking pack. There are really nice ones and meh ones and shitty ones. You can go to REI or dicks or some sporting goods place and find something. depends on your dosh and how light weight and comfy you want to be.
an alice pack will last for the rest of your life but its heavy and uncomfortable.

ESAPI's at work in an Ares Armor Derma (not issued side plates, I want some)
The Brig has Protective Products Swimmers cut and rectangular plates, back when SKD was doing the package deal. No side plates, not a direct action kit.
Now, my PIG is my "fuck you I know where you are and I'm plowing a truck through your front door" kit. It's meant to carry all of the shit I'd need for a direct-action people-snatching kind of mission, not that I go on those anymore. It's got the SKD LV IV Swimmers cut plates and the 6x6 Polyethylene sideplates in it.
I know the sideplates are only good for a hit or 2, but I have no business eating that kind of group.
I picked up a Safariland Concealable IIIA vest last week, I've been EDCing that shit because why the fuck not. I'll probably have second thoughts when the weather heats up some more.

I come from the age of woodland, I had worn out most of the BDU's and DCU's from back in the day, got all nostalgic and have been picking up bits and pieces for a few months now.
Passed an Air National Guard convoy rocking BDU's, M35's and ancient Humvees, thought for a second I'd gone through a time-warp and got all excited.
>>30277654
It's really a shame considering he's one of the few people who work in patterns like night desert and tiger stripe
>>30279172
You'd love going to Fort Polk. The OPFOR wear OD uniforms and the OPFOR "Special Forces" wear BDUs. They roll in humvees and humvees kitted to look like BMPs.
>>30279021
they are, you're doing gods work.
what's a good AK chest rig for a fatass like me
>>30269383
Why not just wait and buy it secondhand from sperges who are pissed off over a helmet company supporting an anti gun politician?
>>30279206
Never been to Polk, know a couple guys who have though. I've seen M551s modded to look like BMPs, I wonder if they're still a thing?
Have a parachute teepee.
>>30279316
They were as short as a few years ago. They also use Hueys both as training as for actual CASEVAC from the training areas.
>>30278860
Do they make sleeves for take down shotguns? Something that would keep it waterproof and something I could attach to a backpack
>>30279415
A hydration pack would almost certainly do the trick. Waterproof it with trash bags or XL stuffsacks.
>>30279334
Groovy.
N3-B parka
F1-B trousers
Mittens and Mickey Mouse boots.
For the snowpocalypse.
>>30277872
That mask looks familiar
>>30279445
If my purpose for the the shotgun is to defend myself from wild animals in the PNW should I bring around my take down shotgun (that's in 2 pieces sitting in my backpack) or my pistol-grip Mossberg w/ shell holder? If I got attacked by something I feel like having to put together the takedown before I could use it would be something that could get me killed
anyone know where to source some stretch material like crye uses in their pants around the knees? I have a project in mind for my DPM smock
>>30279697
Is that a ar15?
>>30279712
Nope FAMAS. He is French foreign legion
>>30279742
Yea, you see,, it was a joke... Like... They always ask is that a famas... But this time it's an actual famas... But I said ar15...
I have been carrying a USMC ILBE for a while and using it as luggage on flights, but it really skylines me as a Marine, it's just obvious looking at it.
I'm thinking about buying something a little bit bigger and nicer, my first thought is a Mystery Ranch NICE 6500. Would this skyline me just as much?
I can't get away from military designs, I am really rough with my gear and count on it to be thrown around in trucks, dragged on rocks and through sand, etc.
>>30279799
+1 like
>>30279822
at first glance, I'd take you for a backpacker
>>30279841
same desu senpai
>>30279841
>>30279869
You don't think the color makes it obvious?
Maybe I'm just thinking about it too much?
>>30279893
You may be overthinking it, but if still in doubt, see if they come in a color like blue or red.
>>30279822
Totes, just looks like an ILBE with more pockets.
>>30279905
They make them in hiking colors, but the hardware isn't mil-spec.
I'll probably just buy it. It's nice to have a big rucksack for hiking, or even camping trips where I need to carry a tent, sleeping mat, etc.
>>30279893
it looks military style to me.
>>30279893
Mystery Ranch tactical packs used to come in foilage green (aka grey), you can buy a used 6500 in that color if it bothers you too much.
>>30279959
Right, but what would that make you think if you saw someone carrying a pack like that in an airport? Would that skyline me as a target?
I'm thinking more terrorism awareness here, not about what people would think or assume about me on a personal level.
>>30279981
That's a good idea. I'll look into that. I actually like foliage.
>>30279822
I'm leaving for boot camp in august, do you have an allowance for gear, is it given or do you have to buy it?
Also how often do you pt in phase 1
>>30280069
You are not given an allowance at all.
You are loaned all of the gear you need, but you are free to buy whatever you want, as long as it's coyote and doesn't detract from any SOPs. Buying a JPC or something like that is a bad idea. When you change duty stations or EAS you are required to turn in all your gear. You can take whatever you want, but you're going to have to pay for it, probably more than you're willing to pay.
I don't remember PTing in boot camp at all because I have blocked out most of it, but I went through during christmas time in 2012, so the whole schedule was messed up, you might PT a lot more depending on how many holidays are in your cycle.
You'll do your initial three mile a few days in. Hydrate and stretch. After that you'll do a lot of team building PT and other things with cowbells and sprints.
>>30276572
SADF chest rig. The shoulder bits actually have padding, once you get it fit to you it's not uncomfortable
>>30280069
You don't buy or have the option to buy shit for gear in boot. Wait until you're at your unit and then take a note from what they use.
>>30279228
Nice empty mags
>>30279306
things I don't buy used
>hats
>socks
>underwear
chinstrap and liner are something I like the idea of getting new.
>>30280128
I go august 1, so no holiday except thanksgiving I believe. (I don't think usmc gives Halloween off and I should be out before Christmas )
Thankyou for the insight. I didn't know the cammies I would be salting with sweat wouldn't be mine by the end of it. Seems weird but oh well.
Many more thanks for the advice on pt.
>>30280229
No retard, you keep your cammies and all your uniforms. I'm talking about gear like your pack, warming layers, sleeping gear and Gore Tex stuff. All that you turn in at the end.
>>30280206
typically when I head to the range I'll shoot my ammo so yeah.
>>30280344
A-are they all pinned?
So I got my $20 SADF chest rig with no straps. Went out and god a cheap condor harness (holy fucking so much single stitching) and some 2in buckles and straps and put on my own backpiece. Ready to operate all comfy now. (until the back falls apart)
>>30280344
Nu uh I see ammo in some of those mags
>>30280206
Canada AR mags are pinned to 5 (Most, chill nerds). So they probably do have ammo in them.
Anyone have any good suggestions a medium plate carrier that would be good in use with an assault pack I am curious to find something worth while. Also any good suggestions on boot knives?
>aforementioned assault pack
>great grand pappy's Koran war sleeping bag
>>30280607
>Koran
Soon we will be fighting ISIS
I'm just starting any tips. And my military surplus burned down so I can't stuff cheap anymore
I'm special.
>>30280162
Fal mags don't fit in sadf rigs
>>30279537
I hate hot weather. I love wearing this shit.
>>30280785
Need to get me some of that camo.
>>30280453
most are, some are LAR-10 round pistol mags.
>>30280820
I feel ya brother. Heat is awful.
>>30268885
Bought a GoreTex reversable jacket with choc. chip on one side and NDC on the other for $30 the other day.
Win
>>30281373
>mfw starts fraying after 5 wears
Okay. Fucking BELTS.
Who makes a good belt for this shit? All I have are thin casual wear belts that will break 3 weeks after shit goes down.
>>30279912
>triggered
holy shit somebody better secure those straps
>>30281564
I have an area gear belt. It's just a stiff friction buckled belt. It has worked for me sofar
>>30281373
Welcome to the Meme camo team.
>>30273766
Looks good but it belongs in a surplus thread
Thats not really /gq/
MAGA
>>30281866
It's gear. It belongs here
wz. 93 Pantera
>>30272944
HAHAHAHAHA
did anybody here ever bought something from ecop us ever?
Are they good or bad?
>>30282411
I'm not an auburn student and I don't care about football. I'm also not a tree hugging hippy but it seems really gay to destroy a hundred year old tree over a game.
>>30273085
The SA chest rig is probably the best bang for your buck you will ever get for a chest rig.
>>30282787
I don't think fal mags will fit in the rig
>>30269770
Pretty much any adjustable carrier will work for guys up to like 6'8", and there's shit like IOTVs that come in fuckhueg sizes. Most BDUs/combat shirts, etc come in long sizes as well. 10x12 plates come down to my belly button and I'm 5'7" so they'll cover vitals on pretty much any human. Basically you just need to find sizing charts for what ever piece of gear you want or buy an adjustable model.
>>30270912
Nope, carriers get you a good bit hotter than chest rigs and LBVs. And I find the shoulder straps to generally be less comfy.
>>30273085
DC3R heavy, I think 7.62tactical makes a few, or you can always get a molle covered vest or chest rig and put m1A mags on it.
>>30282794
The openings on mine are 1.5 inch by 4 inches.
Can fit just about any magazine easily.
>>30273294
I think these are USMC issued, got them from a marinebro. They're pretty nice all in all. I also love my army issued ones as well, but I finally wore them out and can't find them in my size anywhere unfortunately.
>>30276345
Those things rock. Simple and too the point, they hold ammo securely and are comfy.
>>30279822
Check out snugpak
>>30282891
They look like Outdoor research gloves, do they have a label or logo?
>>30282891
Lol those are not USMC issued.
You get a shitty pair of leather gloves, and a shitty pair of green cotton gloves.
>>30281564
Ares among many others. 5.11 if you're on a budget. It's not that they make things cheaply, they're just not overbuilt like most other companies that make really good stuff. Which is actually nice if your hip bones stick out like mine do.
>>30282931
I somehow never looked at the logo on the tag...
>>30282948
I have no clue where he got them desu, he hooked me up with them and a flight suit (for maximum comfy when operating)
Well im about to start building my inventory up since my house fire took my /k/ommando goods anyways im about to buy some packs and gorkas and was wondering if going ahead a spraying heavy duty tent type water proof or repellent will help with keeping water off my happening supplies and myself innawoods also what else do you folks do to prepare a proper innawoods bag
>>30283041
It will keep the water off but it will make what ever you put it o. Ridged and darker. If you put it on clothes they won't breath and you will sweat like crazy when you wear them. On a backpack it's probably fine I wouldn't trust it to be 100% water proof tho. Always individually pack Everything in dry bags. It helps you stay organized and it keeps things from getting lost or ruined.
You are less likely to have shit all over your campsite if you pack it in smaller dry bag.so when your inna woods and you hear a skin Walker or something you can pick up and leave quicker
Howd i do /k/?
>>30283373
You're a big guy
>>30268885
why is night desert so fucking sexy?
>>30283522
it's the era
>>30280561
Looks pretty cool.
>>30281564
I'm using a Tactical Tailor Rigger's belt with a cobra buckle. It's the comfiest belt I've ever used, just speaking generally. Keeps my pants up, and doesn't bend under my holster. I've only had it for about two weeks though, so I can't speak to it's durability.
>>30284419
TT stands behind their products, so if it fails you, they will take care of you.
I love their shit, hasn't failed me yet.
>>30284002
nigga wut?
Can anyone do a full rundown of their loadout I've been trying to get an idea so I can put a good kit together.
>>30271966
what is it like being 6'8?
>>30285756
I'm 6"2 and having a cock long style is like cc but inside your pants
>>30276696
What PC is that?
>>30286534
I think it's the Ferro Concepts Slickster
>>30278762
Have you ever thought of teaching civies what you know? You seem down to earth enough with enough experience, I'd pay for that shit
>>30278877
i just bought another balcs kek
