because anon would rather complain about the lack of gear queer thread than actually make a gear queer thread.
Fuck you, thanks for staring the thread though :^)
Here's a preview of what to expect
Some inspiration, wonder what years these pics were taken. Everything is fresh so maybe the 70s or 80s
Any lightweight loadouts with web gear? Anyone reccomend something to replace the buttpack?

Ehey guyz, rate me? ?? Thess took awhyle and a lotta moeny and i want 2 look tacticool like y'all you guyz say it as like cool and tacitical and thats what i wont to be.... Thanks guyz!!!!! !
>>30618477
Thank you kindly, looks comfy as all hell
Hey, whats up FAGGOTS? You cunts jealous of my Col. Killgore loadout? I bet you faggots couldnt even pull the money together to buy this fucking helmet. All you faggots should kill yourselves, that might be the only thing you're good at. Fuck you, im out of here. Faggots.
>>30618293

>>30618507
Oops forgot pic. YOUR BAD, FAGGOTS
Would this be a good place to talk about CC holsters or should I just make a thread?
>>30618500
Pretty comfy and it holds everything I need. A lot of people will say to get a detachable hydration source but I have no issues with mine. I can still pull it out to refill it without having to take the whole rig off and I can sit in a vehicle without any real issues. It's bretty gud, TAG had the UCP one on sale a while back, but now they're going for like $220. Got mine for about $180 from Amazon of all places. They may have more, haven't looked since I bought mine.
>>30618514
>that non-existent neck
How is that possible
>>30618528
Yeah I was just price shopping. I'd buy for in Ranger Green for ~100-$120, but for that much I'll probably just stick with what I have. The integrated hydro pouch seemed appealing. I'm not a fan of gear stacking anyway. (Camel back on top of chest rig, on top of PC... so many straps)
>>30618556
They have one without the bib and hydration carrier for $95. It's a lot more bear bones but you could always add the bib and hydration pouch later.
>>30618576
Hmm, and what do they call that configuration. Ideally I'd just want the chest rig and hydration pouch, not a fan of bibs.
>>30618382

>>30618620
Just got the belt, looking to get more TACO pouches for both soon. Along with a new PC and ruck.
A question from last thread, how many mags is too much? I am going 10+1 for my primary, but it seems a lot of people have 6+1 or so.
>>30618520
nope, this is the place. post it
>>30618593
>TAG
>Gucci
Uh, TAG is mid tier at best. And what's wrong with UTG rail covers? They were cheap and I just need something to cover the rail. Nothing special. I also prefer the basic M4gery look, that's just an opinion though.
>>30618650
Thanks again, I didn't see any results like that the first time searching, I appreciate the replies.
>>30618646
Not backwards, PC has a front pull tab.
Basically, pull that and the whole rig comes off. Its so in an emergancy you can remove it with out using medicle shears or struggling with it.
>>30618668
ah, you had me thrown for a loop, neat.
>>30618679
It confuses many. This PC has been through a lot, but its showing its age.
Think I may swing for a new one from AWS, but still looking around.
>>30618654
However many you want or think you need. Dont forget about things that are neccesary though like if you have to dump your backpack, alice pack, rucksack, or whatever. You will want something incase that happens, not just ammo.
>>30614661
why is there a japanese wind chime inside your enclosed room
>>30618708
Yeah. Planned on keeping all the mags on the front and left side of PC with medical on the right.
Belt was gonna have a dump pouch and then some pouches for misc gear I may need close like a small folded poncho, multitool, knife, ect.
Pack was mostly for the larger stuff. Extra clothes, rain/winter gear, sleeping, ect.
how many people in these threads were actually in the military?
>>30618746

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Here's his playlist of all his informative stuff. You've probably seen him if you looked up any camo effectiveness type stuff.
>>30618780
And apparently he's a total bro lol
>>30618746
I wasn't. Shitty eyes and an adversity for literal retards being my direct superiors is what kept me out. Which at the time sucked because pretty much my whole family was military. Now it doesn't really bother me. I got the chance to go to college and get a decent job that could afford me luxeries such as being able to afford to buy gear and training courses. While I have by no means the same level of training as members of the military I have at least something to use.
>>30618780
I can nab a supply of MRE's to throw in the pack.
Another thing some of you guys may want to know, 'nam C Rations came with smokes in the accessory pack. The cigs (and coffee) in the pack are amazing (Chesterfields definetly are the best) and can be added at a pretty small cost if you know where to look.
Have a metal cig container with a box of mint condition C-Ration smokes. If SHTF, its nice to have something to take the edge off.
>>30618661
Aight
Finally got my CC permit in and I need to find a way to effectively CC, as I currently have 4 holsters and can't quite make any of them work.
Firearms in question, each has its pros and cons so more than likely I'll just carry the one I end up having an easiest time with or cycle at random.
>Full-size 1911
>Makarov
>Ruby Revolver (4.5")
I'm 6'5" and 135lb, and at work wear a tucked in, button up shirt. Need something that I can still maneuver around on ducting and shit with, and doesn't require me wearing a jacket all the time.
So far I've gotten 2 IWB tuckable holsters, one for my Makarov and one for my 1911. 1911 was uncomfortable as fuck, Mak was fine except the belt clip is real damn obvious and moving around had the tendency to push the gun out of the holster.
Got a UTG horizontal shoulder holster, could adjust and fit either my Makarov or 1911 in it, but it turns out the bottom of the thing is attached to one's belt, so wearing it with a tucked shirt doesn't work too well
And lastly I got an Uncle Mike brand vertical shoulder revolver holster. Got the size for 5" revolvers but mine was way too small, though putting it in backwards gave a pretty good fit, but the whole setup is so huge there's no way I can conceal it under just a buttoned up shirt
What kind of holsters would other anons look for in this situation?
>>30618914
Lol stale tobacco is migh tee fyn, but atleast its something.
>>30618930
You'd be surprised at how good they are, even after all this time.
Not everyones line, but a flask of whiskey, box of cigs, coffee, or cholcolate seems overlooked by many when it comes to gear. Not essential, but even just a little bit of it can help mentally for SHTF if you have to fight and innawoods for a ling time.

I was in the military but I'm not a combat vet (firefighter POG). I really want to take advanced weapon and combat courses as a civ but I don't know where to start or where to even look. I've got my basic CCW but other than that I dont have any training besides what I do on my own time (draw practice, watching basic firefight videos and shit like that). What is a good way to get started?

I would look into taking a 2-day basic pistol class first, because if you show up to a higher level class you really don't want to be that guy holding everyone else back or taking up a disproportionate amount of the instructor's attention. Read reviews (AARs) of the instructor's work before you sign up. Some key points to look out for are whether they have a good instructor to student ratio, and whether they are any good at diagnosing shooting errors. Read this:
http://pistol-training.com/articles/where-to-start
>>30619114
Also roughly what region are you? I can try and recommend some instructors if you want.
>>30618925
get a glock and stealthgear holster. Most comfortable setup youll ever use.
>>30619149

Don't wear a tuckable, people will notice the exposed clips. Women tend to notice that stuff and then not tell you about it, so they'll talk amongst themselves, and then each of them is going to be paying attention for those clips the next time they see you. Soon enough everyone in the fucking office is thinking you have a colostomy bag or something.
>>30619220
>Don't wear a tuckable
I don't think anything is wrong with a tuckable so long as you are able to cover the clips with a shirt. If you are wearing a tucked in shirt with a tuckable holster, then I'd agree with you.
>>30619206
Personally I'll accept around 1:14. 1:20 is a fucking no-go.
Try Practical Firearms Training (https://pgpft.com). I know FPF training in VA does good work. Green Ops in Northern VA is good too.
>>30619235
I agree but the poster said he tucks his shirt in. So in that case I would heavily advise against tuckables, the whole premise of tucking a shirt in and exposing the clips is stupid to me. I would recommend something like a belly band or a smartcarry holster. If you really want to do it right I would get someone to make a kydex shell that you can velcro into the bellyband or smartcarry for retention.
Can't wait for my pc and belt. Selling my chest rig before getting my pc is biting me in the ass
Also I just realized the guy with the tuckables is probably not in an office setting, in which case nobody gives a fuck and he's probably fine with whatever.
>>30619379
Oh shit I missed the part where he said he tucks his shirt. You're right that shit is retarded
>>30618176
Why isn't anyone running soft armor?
>>30619512
Weight, cost, heat retention. If you're a SWAT cop in urban areas you should wear soft armor but for going into the woods or mountains plates are enough in my opinion.
>>30619512
I do with my 6b45, and probably will get another with balcs cut, defender 2 cut or redout. OR the large r-karbid carrier.
>>30619512
I've been thinking about getting a vest. My milsurp store always has a few vests available. Plus from what I've seen online my Gladiator goes over soft armor very nicely.
>>30619512
Because most of us are subscribing to the Idea that you should be wearing armor that can stop whatever you're carrying.
>>30619799
Only 5 pouches... I hope you're putting more NATO in that water pouch
>>30619512
This is actually a very cromulent question for home defense or static anti-looting defense. Most of the justifications for wearing only plates aren't relevant to a relatively short term and static use of armor. I would say that in regards to static use, wearing full cut soft armor with plates makes more sense than just wearing plates. Especially when considering that criminals primarily use handguns rather than long guns, and that is what you would most likely be faced with in a riot type situation.
The one advantage to plate carriers vs. full armor for home defense is that you can put a plate carrier on a tiny bit faster. Though this is assuming you have enough time to actually put it on at all, which may not be realistic when doing home defense with no prep (for HD I only ever presume to have enough time to get the handgun holstered next to my pillow). However, time permitting, if you have enough time to toss a plate carrier on, it isn't a bad idea.
Many people here are rocking plate carriers because it is more comfortable and because plates and carriers are more popular than aftermarket full armor with military, so there is a wider, cheaper selection.
>>30619969
For the sake of argument, in a static anti-looting situation you have cover on your side, so if you prepare your position well handgun/shotgun threats are not as big a deal, with regards to soft armor on the body. Maybe you could make the argument for a ballistic helmet in that context, especially at night with NODs on. Also new soft ballistic panels are expensive. For the price of a full set you could buy another set of plates and a cheapo plate carrier.
>>30619969
Not cromulent at all, and I'm thinking about getting concealable IIIa before trauma plates for my first set.
I engineer commercial and industrial buildings. I have to go out to sites and inspect fairly often. This leads me to being in pretty ghetto areas next to industrial parks or in large cities that are less than idea for a white man in a suit.
Which leads me into my second question. Does anyone have a preferred brand for concealable soft armour?

ewww derpa holster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXakcPB0evk
>>30620518
Not anon but...
The holster is fine.
Show me empirical data of how many misfires occur due to the serpa in comparison to other comparable holsters and I may reconsider.
But from personal experience with the holster during my time in Iraq and AD, I had zero incidence, and the soldiers around me who had that holster had zero problems.
Also the video you showed was a cut from a guns and ammo review of the serpa praising it as a good holster. That part was the "what not to do" part taken out of context.
Serpa is fine.
>>30620498
Nice and simple but the paintjob on the pistol and AK mag is vomit-tier
>>30618176
Sup fags, there are a lot of Muslim Arabs on my campus, but it's also really liberal and SJWey, so given the political climate I'm worried shit might go down.
What can you guys tell me about concealable body armor? I'm a real skinny dude, trying to pack on weight but anything strapped to my body is going to show. Lowest profile possible is ideal.
>>30618647
It's fine if they are tacticool.

>>30620672
No, that was the part where Pat Sweeney demonstrated his draw without realizing his finger was on the trigger. I'm on my phone so I can't link the rest right now but when I get back to my PC I will. Also the lock gets jammed with debris like gravel (there used to be a video of Craig Douglas and Paul Gomez demonstrating this) and the paddle version can literally be ripped off your belt by a strong individual. In my opinion the SERPA is built cheap as fuck and it shows.
Best setup

>>30620732
The FLC is pretty neat. I ended up getting the coyote brown version after I got out of the army. But I must admit I like the TAP more as far as issued gear goes.
>>30620694
Well im not implying anything here but what if something were to happen to those muslims that made them go away? Like forever? You have to crash the plane with no survivors, anon.
>>30620825
I really don't get it. I know the SERPA is cheap but you can get a Safariland GLS or ALS for around $40 and not have any of the issues. For anyone who's in the market check out the Safariland 7377, 6377, 7379, and 6379. 5 bucks more than a similar SERPA and you sidestep all the issues.
>>30621002
What is that logo thing on your helmet? Also nice holster btw.

>>30621300
I want to say I've seen Mcnig post under his trip sometime in the past 2-3 weeks. I suspect he's still around occasionally posting as anon but I can't confirm my suspicions.
I want to move to 6 mags up front. Should i save money and buy a triple shingle, to which id mount my bomber mags, or go for the cleaner, thinner, and sexier option and just buy double mag pouches?
>>30621300
Mcnig could never be replaced.
>>30620711
I have the same gp pouch.
>>30621357
The other question is how accessible are the back mags behind flapped mags on front. I know people do the BFG ten-speeds in front of a kangaroo pouch insert but I think the SKD pouches would interfere with gripping the mags in the triple shingle.
>>30618176
and it begins
>>30621357
Double pouches for sure. What are you going to get? Double tacos or a 6-mag shingle?
>>30621458
Double bombers. Its not something immediate. As is, 5 is enough for training purposes.

What size carrier should a 5'9 guy at 165 lbs get? I'm looking at the BRIG from SKD tactical and I'm wanting to wear it under my smersh.
>>30621881
Probably medium sapi or regular 10x12
>>30621739
>>30621779
SKD UCR is pretty great. Love mine, just looking for a PC to attach it to for the next big step up in gear.
>>30621881
You probably are around a medium size SAPI. Test this by looking up the plate dimensions and cutting out some cardboard or something and laying it on your chest. You want the plate to be wide enough to cover the outside edges of both nips. The carriers are sized off the plates.
>>30621853
SKD has a kit that'll do it and a video to show you how it works $18. Just got mine in the mail. I would post a link but my phone hates putting links on 4chinz.

>>30619512
If the threat were pistol rounds then soft armor. On the battlefield soft armor is too due to the nature of injuries... fragmentation and hemorrhage from multiple trauma sites. I find plates by themselves to be kinda iffy because of the small coverage area and the fact that if you're at an oblique angle then that round could get what you think you might be protecting. Something like an interceptor vest is decent but retains heat like a motherfucker as any soft armor will. So go with whatever options rubs your Buddha. Although koko sums his reason quite well >>30619799

>>30623581
Chem lights -Dusk signalling.
MREs - Always have extra food, one meal more than you think you need.
Towel - take away sweat during a break
Socks - lol jk its just a meme, use the same set of socks you'll be fine :^)
Cleaning kit, preferably a rod, to clear some types of jams
, 35 feet of para-cord minimum, always useful.
poncho w/ blanket liner, to stay warm at night or to aid a shock victim
I recommend a hammock too
Binocs, for recconing avenues of patrol
Compass and GPS, to know avenues of patrol
Matches, Lighter, to light things on fire. Keep lighter in easy access and matches tucked in reserve.
IFAK. ( + )
Google Maps can be a passable map, if printed off.
Bayonet, because its a utility knife that is already a spear
I'm forgetting something.
Pic related is a little out of date, but some of what you should have.
>>30623581
Well, what you carry in your SADF battle jacket is very different from what I would carry.
First, you need to think what you're using it for?
since you can't fit a pack over it comfortably what you have in your kit is what you're probably going to have to use.

You guys joke but this guy is a legend on the M14 forums. He was a LRRP in Vietnam and when his patrol would run low on food they would send him off and he would always return with Mars bars and half-eaten c-rats.
>>30624474
pretty nice
>>30624601
thanks bby
Posting an older setup I did a while ago that was well received. I've since gotten an AK, more water, and misc gear. But I have a hard time justifying doing GQ alongside guns, is there any reason not to get a Chicom, looking for something cheap as a vest.
>>30624798
Also getting a pistol soon, may need some sort of holster.
>>30623178
Safariland Concealable Body Armor, IIIA protection.
Unfortunately this vest was discontinued, there's still some probably floating around if you look in the right places.
>>30623441
LBT-2758A????
Thoughts on the HSGI MPC Bravo plate carrier? Thinking about grabbing it and a SureGrip belt setup with a Safariland 6354 (thigh rig).
Also, thoughts on HSGI taco mag pouches with 30rd AK47 magazines? The whole 'fits them all' makes me a bit leery.
>>30624798
Noice SKS is it a Tula?
>>30624798
>>30624809
you should add a sks chest rig.
>>30623432
I wear my Moabs every day to work, I own a backup pair as well.
>>30624996
I've been pretty pleased with them.
>>30624880
Why the thigh rig?
>>30624955
Tula 51', such a great gun. The guy who sold it had it in a safe since the Clinton ban and the wood is that just right red laminate. More fun to shoot than my AK, but I handle her with care because SKS guns seem to be more collector pieces nowadays. I abuse my AK though.
>>30624980
Looking for AK, but maybe I could do the one they made for the SKS-D (or whatever had detach mags) so I can use for clips and mags.
>>30625191
forgot pic
>>30623581
Maybe a space blanket and/or an emergency bivy if your using the battle jacket for innawoods.
>>30620732
SP2022?
>>30625191
that's the one on top. i'm pretty sure 30 round AK mag will only fit like this.
>>30620498
How you liking that mystery ranch?
>>30625255
Is that seated all the way?
Here's something more updated, I have a boonie now. These Austrian pants just suck hardcore, I prefer regular jeans at this point.
>>30621817
>>30621830
I'm sure this has been asked in other threads, but what is that camo you got there?
>>30625367
yep, type 63 chest rigs are designed for 20 round sks mags. they fit battle rifle mags tho. like 20 round FAL mags.
>>30625381
out of focus m81 woodland pants and a dpm shirt it looks like.
>>30625206
I want to make sweet passionate to that Tula
>>30625155
Because operational operating operations.
Honestly, have never tried one. Seems like SWAT and such around here like them, figured I should give it a shot. The belt won't be crowded, so I could always switch to a belt mount. Current plan for the belt is:
Holster (drop rig with 2x mag holders, or on belt)
Trauma kit (TACMED drop rig + 2xSOFF-T on the pouch)
2x HSGI Taco rifle mag pouches
Surefire light holster
Possibly a chemical weapons pouch

Is this a good deal? Here is the description, all this for $650 and some 9mm. German Sig Sauer P226 in 9mm single/double for trade. I think it started life as a police service weapon, but I am not sure. The finish is beat up (read "character"), but rifling is great and internal function is very smooth. I replaced the decocker, hammer, and recoil spring(s) with factory parts when I got it in trade.
It's sporting a set of trijicon night sights, Hogue finger groove grips, two holsters, and five 15rd mags (three factory.) I also have the original box and documents from 1989 when it was born.
>>30625449
That shoulder flag is throwing me off though
>>30618176
In light of another terrorist attack, i feel like i should look at more realistic gear. It might not stop a truck, but does anyone wear concealable body armor? Lets get greyman/active shooter response going
>>30626120
>>30626154
>claw hammer
you want a framing hammer if you are gonna use it on people.
>>30626221
It's not mine but I remember anon making this in response to "make your shtf kit in 5 min, go" threads a while back
>>30626250
well the tools are a good idea if it's a general shtf set up. if you are in an urban area you will most likely need to open a locked door. the mask would be good for smoke from fires, CS gas, and entering abandoned structures.
>>30623123
Why'd you want american plates?
>>30626120
You are not going to have time to throw on concealable body armor and I highly doubt you're wearing that shit all day. If you do, it'll interfere with your ability to draw a concealed handgun IWB so you'll have to go up a size in shirts and probably switch to OWB.
To me, realistic gear means a double stack semi-auto, at least one spare mag, the ability to hit vital zones out to at least 25 yards on demand, a flashlight to PID threats in a dark environment, and possibly an ankle or pocket medkit.
>>30626403
Id like to see level II vests in person. From what i see, its a third of the thickness of rifle plates. Itd almost be worth wearing.
Anyone know where I can find some armor (preferably ar500 or similar) with carriers included?
I'm a LEO , so if there are sites with discounts you know of, or places that are LEO only , that's fine too.
>>30626463
my stepdad was a cop for 30 years and we talked a lot about wearing soft armor under clothing for long periods. He said that if you buy soft armor vests you want to buy literally the most expensive one you can find because wearing is sucks after the novelty wears off so you want the nicest most comfortable vest you can get. Aslo wearing a synthetic performance moister wicking shirt under it is mandatory.
>>30626503
>ar500
>>30626503
Why AR500? That shit sucks cock.
If you're open to other options AT Armor is a good place. You can get 2 standalone level IV plates and a carrier for $400 there with LE creds.
>>30626503
you don't want AR500 especially if you are a cop. You should be looking for level IV ceramics. most places only give LEO discounts if you are ordering through a department email.
Gear Queers bestow your wisdom what do you think about the triple double on a battle belt?
>>30626463
Actually if you are really worried about active shooter shit it's time to start carrying a Roland Special everywhere you go. RMR for those distance shots, bigass light for PID, KKM Precision barrel for those bomb vest headshots.
>>30626582
really fucking bulky
>>30626582
Seems like a lot of weight on your hip for no real benefit. Three pistol mags is pushing it especially considering you already have 2 rifle on the belt. A lot of BTDT guys barely have anything on their belt line. Medkit, holster, pistol mags, maybe 1 rifle mag.
>>30626670
i'd rather have one rifle mag then three pistol mags.
>>30626687
I think that depends on the situation. I personally don't intend on carrying more than 2 pistol mags on a belt line. Rifle mags are nice and all but if you're going to the effort of carrying a pistol I would want at least 1 spare mag. Otherwise just run a slick belt.
>>30626709
if i was carrying a pistol i would have one in the gun and one in my kit but wouldn't waste all that space and weight on pistol mags if i could have more ammo for my primary. I don't want to ever be close enough that my pistol is a viable weapon. i want to be hiding in the woods avoiding people.
>>30626744
>hiding in the woods avoiding people
>>30626638
>>30626670
it isn't for CC it's just a range belt
>>30626744
Then that's situational. I don't live anywhere near the woods so the handgun is a backup if the rifle malfs or I run dry at close range. In an urban environment it's a lot more effective and it's more likely to be used, so some spares are nice to have. Again, my ideal belt setup is 2 pistol mags, 1 rifle, blow out kit, TQ, holster, and a knife.
>>30626781
Then I would recommend some individual OWB kydex mag pouches like the Bladetech ones. The pistol ones can be used for CC, the rifle ones might conceal okay under a big jacket.
>>30626781
Also I don't see the point in having separate CC and range gear. Short of training all jocked up because "race war", why not shoot from your CC gear?
>>30622804
Jesus Christ man have some dignity... Go on /b/ if you wanna talk to trap faggots.
>>30626808
Exactly the kind of advice I was looking for thanks bro.
>>30626817
The way I thought of it was
>carry more mags on my person
>longer drills and such
>3gun if I wanted
my pistol will still be IWB for CC drills.
>>30626762
no one can kill you if they can't find you.

Although youre some arrogant fuck, that outfit is fucking rad
>>30626928
I bet the Vietnamese thought the same thing before they were napalmed.

they were doing shit tho. they were part of an army that was attacking places and actively exposing themselves.

>>30625674
Yes it is. I'll see if i can post a pick, but basically i have the MAV X-Harness, I attached the top to the molle and just thread the waist through the bottom loops. Pic to follow.
Hey /k/ommandos
I recently bought a Mayflower APC from the SKD sale. I got a coupon in the package and I won't be buying anything anytime soon and figured I'd give you all the coupon. Expires July 31.
First to take it. $15 off a purchase of $150+

I know I asked this the other day but does anyone have any epirience with these gi canteen straws?
>>30627491
>>30627575
>>30627581
I really like your setup. Not going to lie.
>>30627581

Fits pretty well but you need to have your harness set to your mid torso so the waist strap doesn't get muffed up.
>>30627515
rah, nice night nine patch man.
>>30627584
>30627584
i won the canteens but i don't have the hose. I've talked to dude who used them. they used to hang the big canteens upside down on to the top of their alice packs and drink it like you would a camelbak to save the water in their canteens.
>>30627592
Thanks anon.
Really.
>>30627575
Thanks, I have a 2 piece a friend is trading me and I'm using your setup for inspiration.
>>30627313
Oh fuck me you're right. I got 1 & 2 mixed up
>>30627584
The reason I ask is actually more SHTF related than gear, I'm specifically asking about the straws because I keep an ALICE get home bag in my car with both a 1L and 2L canteen on it that have the adapter caps. I also have actual gear for shooting with a camelbak and shit but the camelbak bladder doesn't work very well with he ALICE packs.since I already have these two on my pack and 4 other canteens with the straw adapters it just seems appropriate to get the matching straw. It is designed for this gear set up after all, but I'm not going to purchase one if they are notoriously shit
>>30627616
I forgot to ask, while you're here. Where did you get the hat you have in your other picture you post?
>>30627618
i was trying to tell you that but you doubled down.
>>30627631
ayyyy alice pack buddies
you can slip that axe into the pass-throughs behind the three outside pouches.
>>30627636
Yeah, now i look like a dumbass
>Such is the way of 4Chan
>>30627631
if you have the room what i do is put my camelbak under the top flap when i cinch the bag down. that way you can run the camelbak tub out the side. works fine for me when i am backpacking.
like i said here >>30627614 guys would usually mount a big canteen upside down and high up on their gear when they used those tubes. i've never heard that they were particularly good or bad.
>>30627631
also you can wear a chicom chest rig for you AK mags really comfortably while wearing your alice pack.
>>30622770
Then fuck off back to plebbit or wherever you came from. /k/ has always had guys who wear womens' clothing, furries, and dragon dildos.
