I'm not seeing a gear queen thread so might as well start one.
I have a request for some suggestions, I currently have some british woodland DPM (UBACS, combat trousers, waterproof jacket) I'm a Brit now living in Alabama, I need some suggestions for a plate carrier, boots, headgear etc. For a bugout kit. Pretty much what you see is what I've got. What do you guys think i should get?
Where did you find that Dpm ubacs?
>>29424074
I got it years back when i lived back in the UK. I know there are some places like cadet direct that ship internationally that sell them pretty reasonably since the British army switched to MTP.
>>29424056
I hate using this on my phone "gear queen"
old thread is dead, all hail the new thread. Someone asked for a stt review right at the end of the old thread. I don't want to do that, because i haven't used the STT extensively yet. I have a shoulder injury, and the utter lack of padding doesn't help. Hopefully by the end of april ill have my shit set up and we can have a full review
here's the short version
The tubes system interferes with shouldering and takes away valuable molle estate at the 10 and 2 oclock positions on your chest
There's no good way to set it up for swiftclips
The 6/12 system looks nice, but it's extra difficult to weave shit now
It only fits medium espais and 10x12 plates,
There's zero fucking padding anywere on this. If you don't shell out $50+ extra for skd pig brig pontoons and shoulder pads, you're going to have a bad time
There's no elastic in the cummberbund. Have fun readjusting it all the time.
All in all, it's a poorly designed plate carrier. I will use it, because I spent $200 on it, but I cannot recommend it for anyone else.
Given the very green nature of the pattern, ID skip ranger green. Rg is too grey for that, and the two greens will be uggo.
Coyote brown would be my recommendation

>I'm a Brit now living in Alabama
Do you still have family living in the UK or you on your own? If you want to keep up the British Armed Forces soldier look, ask your relatives to buy some Osprey kit from Ebay. And you can get a pretty decent pair of black combat assault boots from any milsurp shops.
IFAK is is the mail.
Please critique.
>>29424825
What about OD?
>>29425086
I moved here to marry my wife so I still have a lot of family over there, I have someone associated with the Cadet forces over there so he basically has access to all sorts of surplus stuff and he sends it over from time to time but I'd like to get a little mixup going. Plus for plate carrier I'd rather get it here so that I can easily get stuff for it here.
>>29425114
no side arm?
>>29425162
I don't trust my 1911 and I'm too cheap to go buy something else.
Sidearms are over rated anyway IMO.
>>29425114
What do you have in the two large pouches?
>>29425219
Ration, stripped down Cleaning kit, change of socks, some other basic sustainment items.
The idea being that with just my lbe, and a light assault pack, I should be able to perform a 3-4 day patrol.
>>29425285
Why not have food and socks in your pack? Are you concerned about ditching the pack, or is it too small? I ask because your belt seems rather bulky.
In. Still waiting on my antenna relocator to get here.
Also debating on sticking with getting a Vortex Strike Eagle or stepping back to a SPARC and get a bunch of ammo and tools with it.
>>29425316
I'd rather have the few absolute essentials physically attached. The belt doesn't weigh much at all, and the suspenders help keep it manageable.
Basically, I know how easy things can become lost when you're hauling ass, and even if I lost my pack, I'd still have the basics to survive.
>>29425408
I'm curious about the furniture on your AR. What's the benefit over the more standard black handguards?
Nice desk, also.
>>29425652
The benefit in regards to color? I just find it more aesthetically pleasing.
The benefit in design? It's a bit more comfortable in the hand, I can get a bit better grip over a simple round handguard. Plus it has the M-Lok slots so I can add different accessories, like the paraclip loop you see on the side and the vertical fore grip. You could do this with a standard foregrip but you'd have to drill holes into and mount a rail section.
>>29425555
Fair enough. I generally carry assault pack ballast in a small buttpack since I carry an aid bag. It is a general nuance due to size rather than weight. If I have the option, everything but the very time sensitive things (ammo, IFAK) go in a pack.
>>29425707
That's a good way to do it. I keep only the barest minimum of stuff on my belt. I hate the idea of getting stuck somewhere after having lost my pack or something. It's basically my "limp home" kit. lol.
>>29425140
Damn anon, I'm jelly
Sorry for asking, but - besides the obvious - where could one find american QTs? I want to settle down but also to get off this forsaken island
I'm just gonna keep posting this, since nothing has changed
>>29425938
What short shorts?
My crap. I have a fully stocked CLS bag and another small shoulder bag with spare mags and other range stuff. I'm thinking about getting a kangaroo pouch with kydex inserts for the Mayflower vest and replacing the double stack pouches with single mag tacos.

>>29426023
>>29426046
I feared that was going to the only course of action, sadly short of wife hunting and guns I have no other reason to go to the US nor the financial means to sustain myself over there either
Bugger. Got the accent and looks requirement down too...
>>29426046
That's the kind of "culture shock" I would happily welcome with open arms mate
>>29424056
>queen
>>29425123
Less popular a pattern. I can't think of a lot of good complained who make good plate carriers in OD green. The 5/11 one kinda sucks cause the back plate hangs too damn low. Itll be hard to find for sure
>>29425114
>>29425285
Yeah, take those sustainment items off the rig and put them in your pack.
>>29424056
>Gear queen
So, you're gay?
Congrats, bud. Did you come out of the closet to your family? Do you have a bf/husband? Legitimately curious.

>>29426418

>>29426381
I now the warrior DCS have a few in ranger green and I've been checking them out I was just wanting to test the water for other suggestions
>>29425114

>>29426406
No I just fuck up my spelling a lot
Neck gaiter or full balaclava?
>>29424056
I don't "think" you should get anything, I don't know you or what purposes you're trying to fulfill with your gear. All I can do is point you in a direction.
First, get yourself a rooty tooty point and shooty
>Plate Carrier
You better buy yourself some plates first.
http://bulletproofme.com/RP-Level-4-Stand-Alone.html
McNig on AR500 plates -
"Every single thread...
>defeated by common rounds
>only level 3 as opposed to level 4 ceramics (level 3+ is not level 4)
>spalling/frag causing preventable injuries and possibly death(spalling cover is useless once it falls off, which it will)
>weight
>the carriers they sell are rebranded Condor with somehow even shittier stitching
If you're going to buy body armor, buy a product that's actually designed for that purpose, not metal slabs sprayed with truckbed lining."
>PCs
Check: Ferro Concepts, Crye Precision, Mayflower, AWS (for their operators choice plate carrier), LBT, Perroz designs, Velocity Systems.
These are just a few names that come to mind.
Personally, I prefer the slick PCs with a chest rig.
Check the prices and see if you really want to go down that rabbit hole, instead of going the lighter faster route just rolling with a chest rig and pack.
>Boots
After your morning's exercise, or working on your feet all day, go to your local hiking shop get properly fitted and buy the shoe that feels nice and suits your fancy.
Feet swell when you are on them all day, and not all feet are shaped the same.
REI is a good place.
>Head gear
Watch Cap or baseball cap will do just fine.
Any further questions?
>>29426724
What about a belt setup?
>>29425938
I fuckin dig it. Looks like good camo.
>>29426724
Also in general I'm looking for a bug out setup
>>29426892
So do you have a weapon? I'm about to throw my 2 cents in and I need to know what all you want to carry to advise you properly.
>>29426755
Battle belt and h-harness.
>>29426662
Depends on what is more comfortable with your head gear.
>>29426755
What are we talking here
Duty belt
Battle belts
Or LBE type webbing like pic related.
Webbing I don't like wearing unless I know I'm going to be on my feet all day
Reason being, if you wear the shoulder straps over the PCs, the shoulder straps get wedged between the sapi and your shoulder, making it almost impossible to shoulder your rifle, and tiring to move around.
The only way I've found that works is wearing the harness underneath the PCs, which is downright comfy, but sucks for vehicle work.
+plus webbing and battle belt share the same problem when loaded too heavy they like to waddle/giggle - which does not feel too good on the joints when in full sprint.
I'm down with a duty belt or a belt for that matter.
Holster, two mags, maybe a dump if you're rolling with something that doesn't juggle smooth.
>>29426892
Don't be the super tactical dildo.
Roll with Normie shit, You'll feel less embarrassed while training.
Get to know your neighbors, and become friends.
Duluth make great pants
I like operating in dress shirts, or button down shirts.
Get into survivalist stuff; You may never need to just survive with only a condom and a sharpened toothbrush, but it doesn't hurt to know how to.
With experience, your kit evolves.
are pre built ifaks worth it?
>>29427050
Generally no.
>>29427050
No.
Learn and build as you go.
>>29427076
how to ifak then
went ahead and added more shit to the back of my PC.
I'm so used to carrying rounds back there anyway that having my coolguy stuff back there feels natural at this point.
>>29426952
Scar 16s so 5.56 and I'm planning on getting a p226 so something to work with that
>>29427101
You can take courses.
Or you could be like most people.
Search up what other people put in their ifak.
Research on the individual components, and how to apply them.
Then buy them off eBay or Amazon.
Throw them into a med pouch and forget about until the medic slaps your dying ass for putting several cans Chef Boyardee ravioli in your ifak pouch.
>>29426528
>implying I care enough to samefag
Sorry man, but food and socks aren't an immediate sort of thing you need. You could use the space and weight to carry more ammo, water, or medical supplies. You could use the new space to carry a pistol if that's your thing. It's my suggestion.
>>29427160
Gee /K/oko! You NCO lets you hump two Hydration packs?
>>29427219
Just one hydration pack actually. the other two are filled with anything from flares to SSE equipment.
That's not my work gear anyway, when I DO carry two hydration packs as an AG, they're full of about 400 rounds of linked 7.62 apice.
Combine that with the feeders on my TAP and my belt, that comes out to about 1400 rounds of linked 7.62.
This doesn't even count what I have my ammo bearer carrying.
>>29427193
Is it breathing?
Make it breathe, or let it die.
Is it bleeding?
Make it stop bleeding, or let it die.
If it's got a collapsed lung you could get fancy and do valve and decompression needle. But honestly without medical evacuation you might as well pretend it's that sniper from metal gear and tea bag her corpse.
Stinky Juicy fruit coming out of their head or ears? Severe spinal or head injury. Taste some and keep them as still as possible. Ideally don't let anyone know you ate some. Practically need a full hospital to save them. Or just fucking eat their brain cause that shit is good.
Any questions? You all just passed CLS.
I'm a queer
>>29425408
Magnification > red dot, from experience. I also got hands on with a strike eagle at my meet. I liked it. I'd spring for it.
>>29426001
So you'd still be double stacking magazines. I
like asking people, single stack vs double stack
>>29426755
I like my tyr tactical belt, but it's not for heavy loads.
I'll put 1 pistol, 2 pistol mags, 1 rifle mag, and a dump pouch on it eventually
>>29426533
I have the warrior DCS but I don't have any plates, neither real nor fake.
Sizing is ok provided you're not a spooky skellington and you have something in the plate section, I bought nine second hand off eBay for an absolute steal so ithink they nicked the foam 'plates' that are supposed to come with before passing it on
3D mesh I think would work very well (haven't run around in it yet, live in a city) but rubs on the nips a little when only wearing a T-shirt
>>29424988
The only things you got right were rifle/optic helmet and gorka. Where is your smersh! THOSE ARENT THE RIGHT KNEE PADS. WHY DO YOU HAVE YOUR GOGGLES ON YOUR HEAD BUT UNCOVERED! Is that a fucking airsoft vest!?
>>29426755
Verseidag Tacticum Battle Belt or go home
>>29427262
/K/oko tha man with titanium knees & back.
>>29427431
Do you think that belt would comfortably hold that?
>>29427497
I know right, no suspenders. What a fucking faggot.
>>29424737
Well shit. Thanks for your honesty.
>>29425188
Pack your ruck/lbe how you see fit, but a sidearm is crucial. Your finicky 1911 is better than nothing
>>29427270

>>29427050

>>29427653
>type56 vest
my nigga
>>29427497
we'll have to wait and see. I can always drop a rifle mag and pistol mag and move it to my plate carrier, shedding 2 pounds. So long as i stay under 8 pounds on the belt, it should be fine. I can buy an innerbelt that works as my pants belt that has hook velcro and the inside of the belt under the pad has loop velcro.
>>29427503
you're pretty salty anon. Lots of people have battle belt and belt rigs with more weight but no suspenders.
>>29427262
>>29427307
i can't imagine suspenders working well with my plate carrier.
>>29427716
>i can't imagine suspenders working well with my plate carrier.
Try wearing suspenders under you PC.
It might help prevent your STT tubes beating you like a cheap steak.
>>29424056
where can I get one of those DPM combat shirts?
>>29427758
The shoulder tubes don't bother me. The side ones are real issue, as the design means no easy fitting adjust, and muh molle estate like I said. I have broad shoulders, so with ar15s, aks, and my .22 I can shoulder fine. With the m1 garand, it's not so easy.
No attachment points for suspenders anyhow. I'll buy a velcro pants belt for the gunfighter, and that'll be enough stability
Finally got a meme vest to go along with my meme camo.
>>29426286
Any big British city tends to have plenty. London in summer is crawling with hot American girls
>>29427766
I got mine while I lived in the uk from a website called cadet direct but I'm sure amazon and eBay probably have them floating around. Hopefully I'll be getting some more dpm gear shipped over soon
>>29427101
>how to ifak then
stop looking like me
>>29427853
but ware r guns?
What are we expecting to happen in the near future that recquires you to have bugout kits and being prepared to go out on patrols etc?
![image1 [349380].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/EKMcdVS.jpg "image1 [349380].jpg")
my ifak stuffings and pistol mag pouches came in - plates still in the mail
>>29427953
I've been in the military so long that not having a kit would be a weird, nagging feeling that would keep me restless at night. PCC/PCIing gear is a soothing experience after a long civilian day.
Either I get my autism out like this or I wear Oakleys, moto shirts, and scream at people about stolen valor in shitty vertical videos. I find my private autism outlet more acceptable.
>>29427953
idk man but people are pissed out there. its naïve to think that the US or wherever you live is above or immune to social unrest.
>>29427653
I keep hearing people hype up sidearms. Maybe it's just the way I care for my rifle, but I have not once had an issue with it that couldn't be fixed in a couple seconds. For the entire time I was in Afghanistan my m9 was just a paperweight strapped to my leg... I'd rather do away with it altogether.
>>29428038
Most people have sidearms because we also CC.
I'm looking for a slim tear-away IFAK closer in size to a mag pouch so it doesn't flop around on my rig. Any recommendations?
>>29428038
Ever do LN training? Stuck, alone in close proximity with Afghans makes one appreciate having a one handed defensive weapon.
>>29427953
I don't think it's necessarily about expecting it. I mean, I like to think that if I had any idea some shit was coming down the pipe I'd be able to avoid the problem/area
>>29428038
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it
>>29428053
On point. also explains the IWB holsters in my kit - CCW is meant to integrate smoothly with my chest rig/ruck
>>29428053
Nothing wrong with that. Carrying your AR around wouldn't be practical.
I own a couple hand guns, I just don't think it's worth carrying one around in addition to my rifle.
Don't get me wrong, I see the merit. But it's still not worth the pain in the ass factor, because it's just another thing to maintain, another thing to risk losing, etc.
Besides that, if shit ever got so bad that I needed to break out my kit, I can expect a low survivability. So fuck it. I'll focus my training on my rifle so I can as effective as possible before for the (likely) short period of time that I have the opportunity to do so.
>>29428102
I agree to a point.
Reading S.L.A Marshall 's book "The Soldiers Load And The Mobility Of A Nation" made me reconsider many things though, including the necessity of a packing handgun for a rifleman.
Its definitely a must-read for anyone interested in building kits, or warfare in general.
In general, the "better to have and not need" mentality drives people to carry far more than they will every use.
To each their own, though.
>>29428071

>>29428120
So what about if you find someone useful (a doc) who has no weapon? I can give him my sidearm to slightly improve his survivability

If he doesn't have his own weapon, I'm not about to arm a (presumably inexperienced) person with a weapon they have not been trained on, especially not in a stressful situation.
>>29428170
I've been completely black on ammo after a 7 hour firefight. I was down to my M9 and a few guys were just sitting around with their knives waiting to get overrun before QRF got to us, and every CAS-EVAC bird dropped off bandoliers. Ammo goes fast.

What chest rig is that?
Do you guys think its excessive to have 4 pistol mags on a rig and one in the gun? My main gun is bolt action so I was thinking more of a suppressive action if anyone got close
Also what do you think about messenger bags?
I run a simple chest rig without plates or helmet. I figure carry as much ammo on my body as possible. take contact drop the messenger bag and be super light
Tell me what I should replace my ALICE rig with.

Archives ain't shit, anyone could have said they doxxed whoever it was you're talking about.
I could DDOS someone to the point of tears, and have someone in the US take the fall if it gets too hot.
TL;DR Your comment isn't shit, brev.
>>29430122
lel, both you and Frozen Veggies can fuck off with that bullshit.
I won't even touch on the BLM just because that's a whole separate mess but when I found out and confirmed saiga did try to rob the black MN /k/ommando he was dead to me at that point.
I don't know if this J.S. trip is or isn't the real saiga and I really don't care. He's a piece of shit who tried robbing a guy of money that was absolutely necessary to his family's financial success in order to fund his own flight from the US. I don't know if he's really in Venezuela or not but wherever he is he's a scumbag.

Remington Model 783 in .308, got it at a gun show in Fayetteville NC for ~$360 with a 3-9x40 scope. $50 more dolla dollas for the 3-9x50 from Wally World. $40 more for the bipod that I had to bubba onto the stock not once, but twice.
/arg/ sucked me in for a few months so im outta the loop, can I get tl;dr on what ever this BLM thing is? I didnt think anyone went out to the ranger station from here.

Oh shit, good thinking.
What would you guys have in a basic IFAK kit?
Im just thinking med scissors, gauze, bandages and maybe a tourniquet or an israeli bandage
I really have no knowledge of more complex things other than putting pressure on a wound and covering it with white bandages/cloth

I wouldn't recommend attaching that big heavy thing to your belt. That sounds damned awkward.
>>29427160
That's the Patagonia PCU? Where did you get it?
>>29430496
shears, 2 TQ's, one 6" OLAES, nitrile gloves, a roll of 2" cloth medical tape and an NPA at minimum, more if you live in a place that doesn't have fast EMS like rural areas
in any case, more gauze doesn't hurt and a quikclot dressing can always come in handy
>>29430334
still doesn't make doxxing okay. I didn't like saiga, but I don't think robot hitler deserves to get doxxed.
>>29430553
If Anons want to doxx a guy whose face was posted by news sites stemming from a video where he actually calls himself his trip name that's not even surprising.
>>29430553
I won't argue that either way
>>29430533

You can get the Patagonia one off Ebay, depending on size.

why goggles?
>>29431848
Something to mount to my kevlar helmet. I never use the thing in the first place, but if there comes a time for it, I would welcome some eye protection.
>>29431799
Thank you for yoir quality contribution to this thread anon. What makes you say that?
Also, here's your (You)

got the MEC (Canadian outdoor store) version for 5$
>>29429082
>phone as big as entire torso
>>29431891
I would advise you to pick up some shooting glasses from ESS and just keep them handy
same ballistic protection as goggles, much comfier to wear and higher quality than what revision puts out
you don't actually want goggles unless you ride in open vehicles or helicopters a lot
>>29432046
I'm set on glasses.
>you don't actually want goggles unless you ride in open vehicles or helicopters a lot
which is exactly, why I want some on my helmet.
Getting dirt in your eyes sucks.
>>29432076
Look on Ebay, for $15 I got ESS NVG profile goggles with clear and tinted lenses as well as the goggle cover for when it just sits on your helmet.
>>29430543
What's with the fasination with NPAs on /k/ all of the sudden? There is that one trip will loves them, but before that nobody really much talked about them.
I've seen people cause bleeding or blockage by shoving in not lubed enough NPAs- and that was in a training environment for people under training supervision.
I'd skip NPAs, chest decompression needles, and anything else overly invasive as suggestions for people who have zero experience. The "I'm helping" syndrome can cause more harm than good.
>>29430496
Keep it simple. I'd add gloves. Lots of gauze and (buddy tabbed) ACE wraps make for excellent multifunction pressure dressings. Add some premade chest seals (trust me making improvised ones in the heat of the moment sucks, make life easier for yourself).
I'd pack multiple tourniquets all set up for quick use. Remember that if you apply a torniquet and it doesn't work, leave the first one in place and keep adding more. Get trained on how to apply them and your other med items.
And yeah, just focus on stopping bleeding enough to hand off to a professional.

>>29434381
>people who have zero experience
probably shouldn't be worried about using a FAK to begin with.
nobody here has said to avoid taking a damn CLS class
>>29434999
When somebody is asking the basics of what to put in a medical kit, I presume they are untrained.
Somebody untrained is perfectly fine applying pressure dressings, seals, or even a TQ based on YouTube videos. Applying those things has a low risk of doing more harm than good.
Something like a decompression needle? A definate chance of a big fuckup without training.
>CLS
People think they got a big swinging dick from having done CLS. What CLS taught me is that I wouldn't trust 90% of "graduates" to do anything invasive.

I was taught that if you can see a door anywhere in your vision, or are heading towards a place that has a door, a pistol isn't a bad idea. Same if you have the "upper hand"
>>29428071
I can't recommend the blue force gear ones enough. They're light as fuck, "tear away", and when you open it up the whole "roll" opens up so you can immediately start grabbing shit, the back panel is that helium whisper shit which is stiff enough to not let it wiggle at all

>>29435111
since they're asking to begin with, I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they know they need to receive proper education and to practice with each of those items, just like using their firearms.
I never mentioned decomp needle. all the layman needs to know about NPA is to not use it when the patient has a head or neck injury and use lots of lube, as all things in life.

Cool man, I know the general area. What made you move from Britain all the way to the southern states? I'm assuming job, or simply because of much better gun rights and such? Also, sorry it took me so long to reply, my phone ran out of data at work.
>>29438631
haha neither I found myself a Southern Bell, the choices were either she moves to the UK (fun free) or I move to the United States of America... the latter was obviously the smart option.

Lol I have to agree with you there. Grats on finding that special someone. Hope you like it here. Born and raised here myself, wouldn't live anywhere else.

Same thing, was told i had balls cancer, but turned out it was just varicocele with a bunch of cysts.
A year or so passed already and i haven't got rid of it.

9 out of 10 medics agree! Motrin and water will make you shut up and leave them alone!
Seriously though, it is nice to know that somebody does not have cancer.
Anyone know where you can buy a helmet like in pic related?
>>29427431
Yeah it would still be double stack, but it would be more stable and easier access. Open top with good retention. With these issued double mag pouches if you want to tuck the flap back for open top access, you lose acceptable retention especially with only one mag in the pouch.
>>29429192
Yeah I think the profile would be about the same. Only issue is I think I might have to move the knife which will be awkward. I've trained with it there for the last couple years.

>>29442957
If I didn't get it in sale for $60, I wouldn't of bought it
It has lots of small compartments, so it's not as efficient as a small backpack with one big pocket. The magazine pouches on top are kinda silly. They work for I want them to do, which is cycle in fresh magazines into my pouches during a lull, but don't think you'll get speedy reloads off of them
