im currently getting everything for the funny Graves loadout

Graves did nothing wrong

[snow scarab]

didn't graves have some weird LEO vest lol

[icy crag]

I’m getting a jpc 2.0, with mostly crye precision pouches and a pack.

[snow scarab]

what size plates do you need?

[muted gate]

BlackHawk S.T.R.I.K.E. Cutaway or Paraclete RMV

[icy crag]

I think 10x12s? I’ll double check though

[muted gate]

blackhawk holster

[snow scarab]

it depends on your size lol

crye is fit to sapi sizing

and the RF2s are sapi sized

[muted gate]

Fucking hate the Prick Backpack

[snow scarab]

https://rmadefense.com/store/body-armor/level-iii-plus-body-armor/multi-curve-nij-07-tested/

these are the ones right?

[icy crag]

Yep

[snow scarab]

don't just get mediums. measure out your torso and shit, size the jpc off of it, then size your plates off your jpc size

ik way too many people that just get medium plates without thinking lol

[muted gate]

i cant wait till my funny airsoft tier carrier gets here

Funny camo carrier go brrrrrr

[granite tartan]

It’s a bad carrier

[compact dagger]

Well either argument your shit or keep it to yourself yknow

At least when I talk shit about other carriers or some other weapon I argument it at least a bit

If still needed remind me in like 13h when im at work and ill take a pic

[granite tartan]

I have multiple times

[plush topaz]

Mike just hates what the internet tells him to hate. Copy paste.

[ancient grail]

Condor vest

[whole vault]

Condor > Crye

[granite tartan]

What?

I have articulated it to you both

[twilit cape]

My k19 came in today

[compact dagger]

Well you didn't now did you

[low fox]

Hey! could anyone tell me where I could order an MMAC plate carrier (Ranger Green, M)? The official Eagale Industires website doesn't ship to Isreal and only in the US.
And no I'm not buying a K19

[misty mango]

why would you get an MMAC

theyre mid asf

especially for the price

[granite tartan]

This is cool

[granite tartan]

Good

[low fox]

they look cool

I mean I would either get the CPC or the MMAC
Cuz they look cool

[stuck hazel]

Nah it’s not allowed to be called cool until I buy some fucking shoulder pads

Don’t encourage me to put it off

[low fox]

Ye that's pain

[snow scarab]

or don’t be a pussy 🤷‍♂️

[stuck hazel]

Good shout

[misty mango]

i still dont understand what the strap above the mags is for

the one that goes over the velcro spot

[plush topaz]

Oh nice! Send pics

[plush topaz]

I could probably get you a deal on a k19

[low fox]

am not getting an K19

I like Beefy Vests, idk just my style

MMAC and CPC
CPC is Obv better then the MMAC in every way
but the MMAC looks cool

[plush topaz]

You like or don't like? Cuz k19 is beefy

[low fox]

nah the k19 is slick AF

[plush topaz]

Ehhhhh

[stuck hazel]

Securing any paper or loose item that are in the admin pouch behind the velcro

[plush topaz]

K19 is pretty wide because of its padding. And once it's loaded up it can get thicc

[low fox]

That's like every vest

[plush topaz]

Well yeah.

[misty mango]

no it aint

its pretty beefy

kinda what it was built for

in some places its deliberately overbuilt for comfort

such as the shoulder straps and padding

theyre thicc

[plush topaz]

Yep

This was my vest in the army

[misty mango]

i tried running my k19 slick as a running rig for when i run in the summer and you just cant really conceal it

[misty mango]

that actually looks kinda comfy

[low fox]

THIS SHIT IS OUTDATED AS FUUUCCCKKK

[misty mango]

looks a lot more solid than a lot of LBE ive seen aswell

[plush topaz]

It's meant to be worn over a bare plate carrier

[misty mango]

cannoli is a boomer

[misty mango]

thought so

[compact dagger]

I wish i'd have a pic of our issued carriers

[plush topaz]

True. But it's solid.

[compact dagger]

shit looks worse than this

at least to me

[plush topaz]

I designed mine. 8 magazines. 4 grenades.

[misty mango]

gen 3 IOTV

[plush topaz]

Canadian maple leaf stitched Velcro

[misty mango]

sheesh

[plush topaz]

It was pretty common for guys to do custom Velcro designs on their vests

Removable rear pack for water bladder radio first aid etc...

[plush topaz]

Nice.

Is it possible to get a cummerbund for it without the stupid plastic quick release?

I hate those things

[compact dagger]

finally found soem pics of my carrier

but cant find any with the old carrier without any comrade faces

[twilit cape]

@plush topaz i think so but im gonna rock them for now

[plush topaz]

@compact dagger beef

[plush topaz]

Good that it's an option at least. They'll be fine for you

[compact dagger]

Nope, at least not from Agilite, the V3 has an option to remove the top QR tho

the cummerbund ones are not swappable

at least on their current gen carrier

[twilit cape]

there really comfy and really light

i like it so far

[compact dagger]

Only thing i'd change about them so far is the inside

not much airflow

so you sweat a lot

[plush topaz]

@compact dagger a LOT

[compact dagger]

well at least on the bright side

you are warm in winter

[plush topaz]

My spiritus has quick dry material on the inside

You still sweat though.

And if you're wearing your shit for days you're still going to get rashes

[misty mango]

on the gen 3 they are

[plush topaz]

May as well have the carrier that's comfortable. K19 whewww

[compact dagger]

Really ?

[misty mango]

the qd is removable

yeah

[compact dagger]

didn't know you can swap the cummerbund

well the tiop one is yea

but the bottom ?

[misty mango]

mhm

[compact dagger]

Cummerbund locks*

[misty mango]

yep

but tbf even running a velcro cummerbund over the qd's really aint that awkward

its what i do since funny gen 2

[compact dagger]

ill be back in 20 and ask a few things

[misty mango]

might just either snip them at the back so i can remove em and either replace them with first spear tubes or just use a velcro cummerbund

[plush topaz]

Any other London Bridge Enjoyers?

[misty mango]

too poor for lbt

[timber fog]

Just ask your mom if you can use her credit card

[misty mango]

shes about as broke as me

like fr

cant afford heating type broke

[timber fog]

Relatable

[plush topaz]

@misty mango all I could afford was this bag and their toiletry bag.

No joke I was going through one toiletry bag every 6 months because I travel a lot.

LBT to the rescue

[misty mango]

[snow scarab]

spc go brrrrr

[plush topaz]

Forgot I had this LBT duffel lol

I just it for baseball gear

[snow scarab]

how much that shit cost?

[plush topaz]

I don't remember. Let me see if I can find the receipt

@snow scarab $144 US

[snow scarab]

my girlfriend yelled at me when i tried to get the halftrack even on sale lol

so no bag rn

[plush topaz]

And that's with 15% off

I bought all of it drunk as fuck at the start of covid

[plush topaz]

I don't see why not

[snow scarab]

my upper comes in today

bruh

wanna just go to pigeon hill then?

i’m goin up there anyways on the 4th

fuckin fair enough

get that bread

[icy crag]

Thanks! What carrier is it?

[icy crag]

Hey if your still willing I’d love to see what you got

[compact dagger]

Bit too late for up to date pic but i posted mine above

only difference is that its now a lot muddier :d

and a pouch was moved away and the dropbag was moved more forward

[compact dagger]

. @icy crag

[icy crag]

Oops sorry I’m dumb I didn’t see that

[compact dagger]

Worst case you can use my favorite tool, a file

[icy crag]

Thanks, it looks good. What carrier is it?

[compact dagger]

K19

v2

[granite tartan]

Do not buy a k19

Buy a jpc 1.0

Cheap

[icy crag]

I’m pretty set on the jpc 2.0

[granite tartan]

Solid

Good Carrie

[snow scarab]

get the TRMP-C from haley. better than the AVS 3 mag flap

[icy crag]

Yeah I was actually looking at that yesterday

[snow scarab]

the only real downside to it that i can see is it doesn’t have a button. but that shouldn’t really matter

[granite tartan]

I mean it does

The Jpc doesn’t have a lot of Velcro real estate cause of the edoff

Also the crye stretch flap fucks

[snow scarab]

is it way bigger than the SPC?

[granite tartan]

Massively

I’d run a trmp on an spc not on a jpc

I’d just buy a jpc 1.0

Then get tenspeeds

[snow scarab]

ah ok

[granite tartan]

Read

[icy crag]

Hmmm. Is the jpc 1.0 significantly bigger?

[granite tartan]

Same size iirc

Great value carrier

Actually I might stand corrected it might not have button

[stuck hazel]

LBT6094A

[granite tartan]

Anyways

[snow scarab]

it’s sized the same, just doesn’t have the ability to mount placards

and avs stuff

[snow scarab]

now you just need arc mounts?

[stuck hazel]

Which you don’t really need…

[snow scarab]

no but having the option is dope

plus you can’t mount avs stuff

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab they’re not my V

[snow scarab]

ah. poor

[granite tartan]

K

Also

@snow scarab heh

[snow scarab]

but where NODS tho?

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab ordering soon ™️

[icy crag]

What nods are you getting?

[granite tartan]

Dtnvs

Or bnvd 1531

[plush topaz]

The greatest radio ever made

[stuck hazel]

Ngl it’s kinda true

[granite tartan]

No

[cinder stream]

TOES

[left flax]

Them dogs barking

[stuck hazel]

greatest does not equal best

[plush topaz]

Straight facts

[fickle bison]

God, I hate my uv5r. Sometimes I have to factory reset just to get it to work

[stuck hazel]

😐

[plush topaz]

So buy another. In fact. Buy another 10. They're what. $30?

[fickle bison]

Lol yeah

But I don't use it enough to justify buying multiple ones

[plush topaz]

Disposable radios with decent capability

I only have 2. Use for offroading

No license

Navy seals haven't attacked me yet

[fickle bison]

All my homies break FCC laws

[granite tartan]

They’re just like bad radios

Just buy a yaesu or something

Hehehe

[plush topaz]

Oops what did I press

[granite tartan]

@plush topaz nerd

[left flax]

Yet 😈

[granite tartan]

Just wait till I come for you

WITH A FIRE ACE

[cinder stream]

UwU

[icy crag]

Ordered da jpc2.0

[snow scarab]

from crye? or somewhere else?

[icy crag]

RMA

[dusky warren]

jynx

[icy crag]

?

[dusky warren]

big foot jynx

[snow scarab]

ah. you buy the plates with it?

[icy crag]

Haven’t yet. Probably gonna have to wait till after Christmas, I’m buying a lot of gifts

[icy crag]

What’s a good place to get pouches and assorted stuff for my plate carrier. Bonus points if affordable

[granite tartan]

crye

Dont buy shit you dont need its a JPC

Not super great at holding bunch of weight

[icy crag]

Mainly just want mag pouches and a dump pouch. Maybe an admin pouch

[granite tartan]

put it on a belt

mag pouches will be on placard

[merry iron]

Belts do better with dump pouches

They're useful but they're pretty awkward to fit on a PC

[timber fog]

Nah, feng gang

[snow scarab]

jpc you should really only have side plates, some kind of ifak, magazines, radio. everything else should go on a belt

[icy crag]

Well I don’t need a radio, not planning on side plates either

[snow scarab]

side plates are a really good edition

[icy crag]

Nice I like it

[snow scarab]

i used to be super against side plates too but at least kevlar is better than nothing

[icy crag]

I’ll look into side plates, but I’m a little less concerned with them then the mag pouches, ifak, and dump pouch. I will get them eventually though

[snow scarab]

obviously. but better to plan it than not imo

[icy crag]

Fuck now I need a battle belt

I should calculate how much all of this will cost me

[snow scarab]

if you do it right, upwards of a grand

buy once, cry once

[merry iron]

Well, you can get a bit lower on the total kit, but plates themselves will be at least $600

depending

if you're jacked you can just get heavy NIJ4 stuff and not worry

but anything light and able to stop realistic threats can get quite expensive

[snow scarab]

rma rf2 is what we both are looking at. i already have 1155s

like just over 5 pounds with multicurve

[merry iron]

that's pretty good

I had some UARM plates on order, but, well....

Now I'm saving up to get some RMAs

ESAPI for now

it's good but too heavy

[snow scarab]

what RMAs?

[icy crag]

Around $300 for the carrier including tax and shipping. $600 pre tax for the plates. Mag pouches are like $100 if I go with crye, and only use one set. Dump pouch is $40. If I go with their zip on pack (which I haven’t decided on) then an extra $230

[snow scarab]

honestly the pack isn’t worth it. only reason i’m getting a zip on molle panel is to hide my plates

[granite tartan]

IDK about side plates on a JPC

[snow scarab]

plus i can use it for shit like a halligan tool/bolt cutters

[granite tartan]

They sag the cummerbund alot

[snow scarab]

not really

watch anybody that runs around with them, if it’s tight to your body it won’t matter

[icy crag]

I just want the pack for hydration, but maybe I can look for a cheaper option

[merry iron]

the lightweight 3+

to stop M855A1

[icy crag]

That’s what we are all looking at

The rf2

[snow scarab]

https://www.cryeprecision.com/ProductDetail/BLCZP360LXL

[merry iron]

Source Bladder?

[granite tartan]

M80a1 is a problem too

[snow scarab]

comes with a built in hydration pouch

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab I’m still not Sure if side armor is worth it

[snow scarab]

i’d rather have the chance to stop it

[merry iron]

TBH I just put a nalgene in my dump pouch on my belt

[granite tartan]

Also

[merry iron]

I'm very big on it, but there are some setups it's hard to justify entirely

has to do with kidneys n such

[snow scarab]

also lily if you really want, you could easily buy a surplus camelbak and that will work fine

[granite tartan]

@merry iron I know you

[snow scarab]

you just clip it onto the molle and cut off the straps

[merry iron]

Oh, so you do

[icy crag]

Maybe I’ll do that

[granite tartan]

Yeah we had a whole convo about the ammo you carry

The underwood

You shot someone

Anyways

Side plates idfk anymore

[snow scarab]

like it’s stupid easy. just cut and burn the nylon straps and use the clips to clip it into the molle

[granite tartan]

I’d get them if I bought an avs

Kinda working on comms and a radio rn

[snow scarab]

i’m getting it to also help tighten up the SPC a bit

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab they make sense on the spc

Jpc not as much

The cummerbund isn’t super rigid

[snow scarab]

i mean GT runs his JPC with side plates at all times if you wanna watch some intros to see how it fits

[merry iron]

there's two ways to go with them; they're heavy and they suck, but also, you don't want to get shot through both kidneys and bleed to death even if you were shot in a Trauma OR

[granite tartan]

And it says

[merry iron]

but I'd say a radio is probably a better buy

[snow scarab]

because it’s fitting onto your body it doesn’t make it sag if you put it on right

[merry iron]

unless you're very fit

[granite tartan]

Fitnesss doesn’t mean anything to your cartalidge

[snow scarab]

should be butting up against your front plates. or you could but the 6x8 pouch’s and it will cover your entire side

[granite tartan]

Mmm comms

@snow scarab the comtac V man

I wish they were $600 again

[snow scarab]

i’m honestly gonna get a pair of 3s probably

[granite tartan]

Things a rip off for 1k

[snow scarab]

good enough for the job

[granite tartan]

I told my buddy to get III didn’t listen

The menu is sick as fuck on them

Lots of customization

[snow scarab]

although my buddy is selling an entire sordins comm set up with helmet mounts for like 300 bucks

[granite tartan]

Resist

Comtac III ach dualies should be like $450

Or buy a fixed lead amp for like $600

[merry iron]

Yeah, but having lots of muscle to support your joints does

at least, your knees, possibly your hips

[granite tartan]

Ruin your body

Be toxic

[merry iron]

2 steps ahead of you

[granite tartan]

I have enough lead poisoning for the both of us

Post kit

I require

[merry iron]

I suppose I'll find an old photo of the "old" rig

[merry iron]

I'm mid move RN and my shit's all over the place

and I'm 3 plate carriers deep as is

[granite tartan]

@merry iron where you going

[merry iron]

just moving across town, new place in a different neighborhood

[granite tartan]

Fair

I moved to SC

From florida

Great here

[merry iron]

I'm still hanging out in the frozen wasteland

[granite tartan]

Stuff I waiting on

[snow scarab]

PIG?

[merry iron]

Nah, it's an older BCS carrier

[snow scarab]

ah

also the fde aero rail

i’ve honestly never gotten those types. no space for IR if you ever buy it

[ancient grail]

Silly goofy mood

[snow scarab]

KONG YOU SEE MY RIFLE?

[ancient grail]

NO I HAVNT I JUST GOT OFF THE FIELD

[merry iron]

I'm stinky and believe in maximum passive aiming

also, the rail is incredibly light weight if all you want is white light

I don't think I'm gonna have time to put on NODs or whatever if someone kicks down my door at 2AM, but I guess I don't own NODs either, so who knows

[granite tartan]

You have nods?

I got my breaker in my room

[merry iron]

probably my next big purchase

unless I get into a belt fed or a 40mm

[granite tartan]

You have a helmet?

[mental junco]

Finally got new boots

[granite tartan]

What Dey be

@mental junco

[snow scarab]

do you happen to be danish or estonian?

[mental junco]

Lowa's

https://www.lowa.ca/en/product/z-8s-gtx-c/

[mental junco]

im not

[granite tartan]

Praise allah

More lowas

Can’t stand goretex tho

[mental junco]

i like it for the field

[granite tartan]

Sealskins man

And fast drying boot better

[mental junco]

not to bad for garrison

[granite tartan]

If water gets in goretex

Awful

Also very wet by me

So goretex is just bad

[mental junco]

that is true

[granite tartan]

Goretex works wonders for snow

But lots of water nah

[mental junco]

yea alot of snow in Canada

[granite tartan]

Makes sense for you then

[merry iron]

no

I was waiting for rifle rated stuff to hit the open market

[granite tartan]

But duck canas

[merry iron]

and it sort of has now, so I might

[granite tartan]

So you can spend like $3200 for 20% of your head to be covered

[snow scarab]

opscore already has some

[granite tartan]

And still be 3lbs

[merry iron]

3200? it's way cheaper than that

[granite tartan]

It’s 2.5 lbs and costs 3.2k

[snow scarab]

ah

[granite tartan]

And the coverage is bad regardless

[snow scarab]

i know most of the rifle rated ones weigh more than an ech

[granite tartan]

Weight savings and frag is mainly what I care about

My helmet was like 2k

1.47 lbs

It’s getting heavier adding more shit to it

[plush topaz]

That's cadpat bra

[snow scarab]

shut

[cerulean flower]

What is this weapon's name?

[burnt tulip]

AR-15

[wind cave]

nice ar

[granite tartan]

It’s a micro roni

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan I unlocked the uv5r for gmrs

Took 30 seconds

[granite tartan]

It’s capable

But uh

Goodluck

[timber fog]

Better than nothing

Almost costs nothing too

[plush topaz]

@timber fog oh its way better than nothing. It's a very capable radio. For the money it just cannot be beat. Especially for someone who is getting into comms

[merry iron]

I should really get into a radio

[granite tartan]

Till you drop it and it explodes

[timber fog]

Legal ied

Sounds like a plus to me

[stuck hazel]

Just buy two lol

[wicked portal]

Lowas gotta be one of the best boots ive worn

Dad got them from the military and they landed in my hands

[icy crag]

You run hescos right?

[granite tartan]

Yeah

[snow scarab]

got the expensive ones

[granite tartan]

What I say

[solar crest]

does anyone know what exact items are attached to the strandhogg in game? im trying to recreate it on mine

[snow scarab]

send a picture, someone might be able to identify it. most people here don’t actually play the game

[fickle bison]

Dead-ass? How did they find this discord then?

[snow scarab]

like they don’t play anymore

and i mean the people that talk in these chats

[fickle bison]

Oh, yeah I guess. I was actually gonna play the game again next wipe, I haven't played for over a year and a half

[snow scarab]

i’m tryna get back into it

[timber fog]

I’ve never played EFT but I used to watch a shit ton of FairTX and Kotton

It looks fun, but between my mid-spec-for-2014 pc build and my shitty ass internet… yeah, I’m cool off that

Maybe one day

[fickle bison]

Ok, which one you mf ruined a good real k6-3

[covert tinsel]

I don’t have a system strong enough to run it not good Wi-Fi for it

I was not really allowed to play video games

[timber fog]

Nothing a new paintjob can’t fix

[fickle bison]

Every time it gets chipped its gonna have adidas trademark on it

[timber fog]

Sand it first

[muted gate]

Im partial to the Nike SFBs but they fall apart

belleville c320s for life

[muted gate]

my new pair i wear are a pair trekstar ROKA that are comfy as fuck

[snow scarab]

does everything the nike boot does but better

[muted gate]

for about 25% more the price

i got my first set on sale for 115

then they fell apart a year later

[snow scarab]

you get what you pay for

they used to be 130

but now are like 175-180

[muted gate]

They do feel nice tho

[snow scarab]

Current boots are a meme

trying to find a few other pairs

[fickle bison]

I hate mine tbh

No matter how much I try to break it in, I keep getting blister on one of my foot

[muted gate]

mine are fine, ive just go through 3 of em

[stuck hazel]

Just not funny anymore is it

[solar crest]

? the in game item. my actual strandhogg only has a few pouches

[stuck hazel]

He’s looking for the pouches on this.

[solar crest]

yeah

[snow scarab]

yeah that’s what i meant, the in game item

[whole vault]

People who run a pouch under their plate carriers are secretly into genital spanking and want to be slapped in the balls when they are running

[snow scarab]

what kind of dangler you running that sits that low?

mine sits on my belly lol

[timber fog]

Tell us you run your pc too low without telling us you run your pc too low

[granite tartan]

@timber fog be chad

[whole vault]

Plate carriers are supposed to cover your stomach @timber fog . Stop playing so much video games and actually go train with your gear

[solar crest]

? have you ever worn one? its never close to hitting your nuts what

the plate covers around your lungs even with a hanger it doesnt really get to your waist

unless ur a 4"3 goblin

[cinder stream]

properly fitted carriers barely cover your stomach 💀

idk what PC you're wearing

[snow scarab]

i’m sorry what? you are just wrong. something like a military issue body armor like an osprey or IOTV will cover your stomach, but anything modern basically just holds the plate. why do you stop playing so many video games and train in your gear

[solar crest]

got to respect the courage to call someone out while having 0 idea what you are talking about

i have a medium gen2 strandhogg with a medium hoplite lvl4 sapi it stays up at the lungs

[naive maple]

[misty mango]

modern plate carriers are designed to cover the vitals

while being scalable for more protection

(most are scalable)

[fiery dew]

sir...dont expose this...

[stuck hazel]

Yes thank you bruv

[snow scarab]

what do you mean by patch panel

[silver nexus]

I love arisaka

[solar crest]

i think he means the large velcro strips that cops put the logos on like the big fbi and swat patches

my strandhogg has it but i only have metal gear patches lol

Nah im good

[plush topaz]

Shut up

[muted gate]

[low mulch]

[plush topaz]

Not as old as you think.

They were only replaced 5~ years ago.

[low mulch]

have you seen the red vegan boots LMFAO

[plush topaz]

God. Yes.

[low mulch]

i cringe so hard when i see soldiers wearing that shit

[plush topaz]

Actually no. Not red. Tan

[low mulch]

istg the vegan boots look like something a hooker would wear

[plush topaz]

Those are the vegan ones?

They look just like the leather

The old vegan ones looked like this.

[granite tartan]

Why is everyrhing you use from Israel

Like there is nicer stuff

[whole vault]

Oy vey

Whats wrong with Israel? Hmm?

[granite tartan]

Something something Kanye

Kanye Kanye

Something

[whole vault]

🤣

[plush topaz]

Because in the idf we use Israeli gear you moron

I definitely don't use those boots anymore. They're so bad lol

[low mulch]

no, but the it has the same style for the heels

[low zodiac]

At long last

A worthy curtain for my window

[plush topaz]

WOOOOBIE

[low zodiac]

Woobie

My dad gave me one when I was like 7, never saw it since

So I bought a new one just now

Things awesome

Smells like surplus store

Clean tho

[plush topaz]

@low zodiac I love them.

I have a woobie hoody

[low zodiac]

I saw those lmao

They look cozy asf

I want to get like 5 woobies and make a mega woobie for my bed

[plush topaz]

I feel like I'm wearing taxpayer dollars that have been sitting in a musty cargo container for 40 years

[low zodiac]

[plush topaz]

MEGA WOOBIE

[low zodiac]

Yes

For a full sized bed

It already kinda fits but none of the edges hang over the side

[plush topaz]

Aw babe. Nice quilt!

Bitch it's a woobie

[low zodiac]

Leave a opening so you can stuff other blankets into it lmao

Make a literal duvet out of woobies

[plush topaz]

Aren't the real ones like.... Super flammable

Lol

[low zodiac]

Yes

[plush topaz]

[low zodiac]

The label tells me to keep it very far away from fire or sparks lol

[plush topaz]

🤔Must be why the military doesn't use them anymore

Turned soldiers into hot pockets

[low zodiac]

I have read that sparks will cause it to melt into a plasticy substance lol

[plush topaz]

I can confirm just from cigarette ash and embers

[low zodiac]

You ruined a woobie???

How dare you

[plush topaz]

Nah it just looks…..used

[low zodiac]

If it was a ACU one I would care significantly less

But the woodland ones look cool asf

And the multicam

[muted gate]

Woobies are great. But I am partial to the woolen army blankets. Suck to carry and dry. But warm as shit

[low zodiac]

They look itchy

[plush topaz]

They aren't called Scabies for nothing

They really are great blankets. They're just never. Ever cleaned.

[muted gate]

I like the itch

[low zodiac]

Maybe I should sandwich one between two woobies

[plush topaz]

You may die of heat stroke in your sleep

[muted gate]

doesnt work

[low zodiac]

[snow scarab]

i’m sorry? i’m gonna need that link rn

[plush topaz]

Done have one sorry

[low zodiac]

I sleep under a mink blanket followed by a comforter

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

that looks amazing

[plush topaz]

Ya it's cool

[snow scarab]

how soft is it?

[plush topaz]

@low zodiac would you use soft to describe a woobie

[low zodiac]

It is fairly soft

Moreso air

Very air-ey

[plush topaz]

Air-eh

[snow scarab]

i barely use my wooby lol

[violet geyser]

Woobie hoodie under uniform is the new move

[muted gate]

issue is the woobie well stops working due to the compression

[violet geyser]

Really? I know we take a million classes on the science/reality of layers because I work in 30 F and below and I believe it but I haven’t had a issue with it.

[low zodiac]

I’m sure it still keeps some heat, just probably not as much as the full sized blanket

Due to less air pockets

[muted gate]

^

[violet geyser]

Yea that’s why I went with it. I wear it on movements so it’s nice when your stopping,then walking,then stopping. Because the blankets you’re pulling out of your ruck and what not.

[snow scarab]

what MOS?

[plush topaz]

Well, use it more, bitch

[snow scarab]

probably should. it likes to piss rain here

[stuck hazel]

London outlet

Sabre jacket

[granite tartan]

Pretty drippy

Little overkill ngl

@stuck hazel dead chicken fucks

[stuck hazel]

Does

I’ve now got both hard shell and soft shell

[granite tartan]

Is that the popular one in Europe?

Popular shell

[stuck hazel]

Not really

Popular one is alpha SV

Costs about the same

Only difference really is goretex pro on the SV

But at the end of the day it’s just arcy fabric either way

If they had the medium SV I would have bought one there and then yesterday, but I’m glad I didn’t because I prefer the cut on this one

[stuck hazel]

Fuck. I think I’m getting another.

[naive maple]

i just ordered an arcteryx hardshell too

[stuck hazel]

Two jackets one day

Very much applying the “you can never have too many” mindset

[naive maple]

its just the consoom mindset

lets be real

[plush topaz]

@stuck hazel nice.

[stuck hazel]

Truly

[plush topaz]

Isn't the sabre a skiing shell

[naive maple]

yeah

freeride

i also got a ski shell

the ski guide

ive been waiting for them to restock it for a full year

its not in the color i want but c'est la vie

[plush topaz]

What's the difference

[naive maple]

the ski guide is made for professionals like ski guides, ski patrollers, and avalanche forecasters, so it is made out of more rugged materials

it is also made in canada instead of.. wherever

[plush topaz]

Awesome. You get them on sale?

[naive maple]

there's a 40% prodeal discount

[plush topaz]

Holy shit

Huge

[naive maple]

from msrp

so not that huge

but yeah makes it more tempting to buy arc

its bad for the consoomer brain

[stuck hazel]

Tis

Just better than a normal hardhell

More durable

Alpine guide is more durable, I would have gotten one if they came in a none Florencant colour

[plush topaz]

@stuck hazel they're all pretty durable anyways

I wear a cold wx hoody Lt as my daily winter jacket

[stuck hazel]

Ofc, you just have to look after hard shells anyway.

[naive maple]

civilian shells in subdued colors are still gonna glow in the infrared spectrum anyway

[stuck hazel]

Beefy atom Lt. yeah I can imagine it’s good for cold weather work, I’ve just worn my atom lt to the point where it’s no longer water proof

[stuck hazel]

I don’t care about the infrared spectrum

[plush topaz]

So waterproof it

[stuck hazel]

No point anymore now I’ve got a new shell

[plush topaz]

So.... Sell it

[stuck hazel]

…

It’s a soft shell.

Soft shell for cold, hard shell for wet

I now have both

I had both before, gamma AR and a sidewinder, the gammas pocket broke and me and my dad agree to share the sidewinder

Shit shame they don’t make sidewinders anymore

One of the best designs arcy has ever had

[plush topaz]

The one with the funky zipper yeah?

[stuck hazel]

Yeah

Gold and black

🥵

[plush topaz]

Drip

[stuck hazel]

Truly

[plush topaz]

Gotta sharpen these today

[violet geyser]

11B

[low fox]

Mom says I look handsome

[plush topaz]

The Tims

[low fox]

Bruh I went to a store in tel aviv where they sell boots, I didn't even know what timebs were, the cashier asked me where am from and told her then she went like: "these would be perfect for your lifestyle"

I Said ok and bought them for 800₪

[timber fog]

Israel 🤝 NYC dudes

[snow scarab]

ewwwww. 12B supremacy bitch

[umbral pine]

any tips on sharpening titanium

[violet geyser]

Engineers are the dumbest guys in existence. We be doing exercise guarding them while they deploy wire and shit and we take contact and they just stand there while we return fire lmao

[snow scarab]

probably charlies honestly

they a little slow but tell everyone they combat engineers when they just bridge bitches

also would like to see you set up a breach charge probably lol

[misty mango]

you either nail it first try
or its no longer your problem

[plush topaz]

I'm dying

[low fox]

Am a simple man what can I say?

[plush topaz]

You have a pure titanium knife? I didn't know what existed. I know of titanium COATED knives though. Which you sharpen like any other

[plush topaz]

Looks badass. Tims are good. As long as you get the right size and actually tie them up

Also 800 shek is cheap!

[umbral pine]

i dont actually know alot about it my dad found it yesterday at an abandoned camp site

stuck in a tree

I’ve started on it but it’s really tough

Can’t get the angle right with how many strokes you have to do

And the pressure

[plush topaz]

Don't overthink it. Don't try to be a perfectionist

[umbral pine]

ok

thanks

[plush topaz]

@umbral pine it's most likely titanium coated

That's apparently a $10 knife

I wouldn't waste too much time on it

[umbral pine]

aw damn lol

[plush topaz]

Hey free knifes a free knife.

Still useful

[umbral pine]

yeap

[icy crag]

It’s not as cool as you think. Titanium can’t be heat treated as far as carbon steels

[low fox]

100%

[small isle]

Cool

[stuck hazel]

Homie sexual

[plush topaz]

Ballin

[proud hazel]

no

yes the swfa is great uses Japanese glass

yea its japanese glass

[plush topaz]

Everything b tier and above is good on that chart. It’s pretty true.

[granite tartan]

I’d move vortex sig and eotech into b tier for

Mainly cause this mid tier glass is mid

[granite tartan]

Don’t think I’ve looked through a PA yet

Need too

[stuck hazel]

Eotech b teir is one of your worst takes

[granite tartan]

Explain correct me

[misty mango]

eotech has drip

[granite tartan]

That it does

@misty mango I think he’s got an eotech that’s why

Mfw thinks b is bad

[misty mango]

probably a repro lmao

[granite tartan]

Based

I’m tempted to get an exps3

But I had to buy a new belt

[misty mango]

[misty mango]

[granite tartan]

[granite tartan]

[misty mango]

(since uk law kinda bans the cool things)

[granite tartan]

Move to the US

[misty mango]

its a thing run by ex SOF and some PMC's that trains people in weapon manipulation and all the shit like that

they also teach people about living in the field

its pretty solid

[granite tartan]

Neet

[misty mango]

uses an abandoned military base for CQB

[misty mango]

tis the plan

[granite tartan]

Based

What state

[misty mango]

i was looking at Arizona because i know quite a few people there and i do want to end up going through vegas at some point

plus the west coast has the funny airshit milsim west

but im still not entirely sure

[granite tartan]

Arizona kinda sucks

[misty mango]

i would want to get around a lot more

i like travelling

[granite tartan]

Honestly the east coast is less of a shithole

Midwest doesn’t exist

[misty mango]

Midwest is mid

wanted to go to texas but its kinda a shithole law wise

[stuck hazel]

Go with buddies and the entertainment value is 10/10

[stuck hazel]

I don’t have an Eotech lol

What would you consider A teir?

We’ll actually il put it this was

EO tech is leagues above primary arms

It’s not as good as some other shit sure

But their glass is still above mid

Night force should be S for sure

[violet geyser]

I run eotech at home but and work I use ACOG. Both are fucking great durability wise @stuck hazel

[coarse laurel]

[snow scarab]

[solar crest]

holosun???

[violet geyser]

Well good for you. Some of our 68s said half people are too fat and slow to keep up so if you’re on the line with dudes let alone working with Ranger that’s good

[plush topaz]

I don't understand anything you just wrote

[coarse laurel]

been in the line with mortars, scouts, tankers, infantry and MP's lol

MP's probably the best time for me

[eternal gale]

[plush topaz]

This hunter is dripped tf out

[stuck hazel]

nah

hes legit just wearing some shitty camo, with an even shittier camo backpack and some hunting rig

might be that "gucci" rig thats going about

either way i heavily dislike it all

[muted gate]

better camo is better

[plush topaz]

I love it all.

[stuck hazel]

its all disgusting

[muted gate]

more your speed?

[stuck hazel]

no disgusting digital camo or hunter shite so yeah

hunter camo can be ok but

not just like that.

this

il concede this is tight

[plush topaz]

I might get those pants. Look nice

[stuck hazel]

not the digi camo please god no

[proud hazel]

That camo is fantastic and insanely expensive

[stuck hazel]

fat fucking rip off

[misty mango]

hunter camo is extremely effective

but its ugly

[plush topaz]

Ya. I'm not dressing for war in Iraq to hunt water fowl lol

[misty mango]

so no likey

no drip?

[stuck hazel]

its also extremely specified

[plush topaz]

Theyre just good outdoor pants.

Drippy too

[stuck hazel]

not in the slightest

[plush topaz]

Ya. Very popular in Canada.

[granite tartan]

First lite is good

[kindred delta]

Does this count as irl gear

[grand walrus]

are they tasty?

[kindred delta]

Idk im about to find out

They look delicious in game

Checks out, they are delicious

[plush topaz]

I love sardines

[granite tartan]

Ofc you do

[plush topaz]

Who doesn't.

They're delicious and immensely healthy.

[granite tartan]

They are not immensely healthy lol

[plush topaz]

They are. As with all fish.

Loaded with healthy fats, calcium, and vitamins.

[granite tartan]

They’re literally drowned in oil

[plush topaz]

And?

[granite tartan]

And salt

[plush topaz]

If you're drinking the oil you're doing it wrong. Who raised you?

[granite tartan]

You talking canned sardines?

[plush topaz]

Any form of sardines.

[granite tartan]

Canned sardines are loaded with sodium

[plush topaz]

Not particularly, no.

Very healthy.

Just don't eat them if you have high blood pressure 😊

[granite tartan]

@plush topaz one serving is 23% of daily intake of salt

[plush topaz]

Who said you should eat them all day? Moderation.

Anchovies are amazing too. Much saltier though.

[umbral pine]

ya freakin sardine addict

[granite tartan]

They are not “immensely healthy”

[plush topaz]

They are.

In every respect

[granite tartan]

Besides the salt

Lol

[plush topaz]

You're nitpicking one ingredient to establish a straw man argument

For the sake of it. As usual.

[granite tartan]

You’re being dense, you’re saying it’s immensely healthy

Which it’s high in salt

[plush topaz]

It is.

Any anyone with a brain would agree

[granite tartan]

So it’s not immensely healthy

[plush topaz]

It is.

[misty mango]

salt is tasty

[granite tartan]

Salt is delicious

[plush topaz]

You already felt compelled to google it. Go read the rest of the nutritional info.

If you have an issue with the word I used that's your issue. The fact Stands

[granite tartan]

Don’t say stuff is immensely healthy when it’s not

It’s disingenuous and wrong

[plush topaz]

But... It is.

[granite tartan]

And then attacking me after is cringe too

“Loaded with salt”

-healthy

Cringe

[umbral pine]

there is just something so morally corrupt about using the wrong words...

[granite tartan]

Kanye

[plush topaz]

Again with the straw man. Ignoring the entirety of somethings nutritional info just because one ingredient is somewhat high lmao. Pathetic argument.

Sit down plz thx

[granite tartan]

It’s not a straw man

[umbral pine]

just remember we are talking about sardines

[plush topaz]

Exactly.

[granite tartan]

It’s negligence

Intentional

[plush topaz]

What a waste of time. Any reason to be negative and argue. He takes it.

[granite tartan]

^ yes based

[umbral pine]

lol

[plush topaz]

Sad pathetic human

[granite tartan]

Gaslight gatekeep girl boss

[umbral pine]

slay

[plush topaz]

Word salad

[granite tartan]

Ya know

I could say something incredibly intolerant

That is true

[plush topaz]

Sardines are great MRE's too. Especially in oil.

[granite tartan]

Sure say that

[plush topaz]

Can cook them in the can with a bit of toilet paper

Tuna as well.

[granite tartan]

But don’t be disingenuous

Then insult me

Cringe

[umbral pine]

poopy doopy

[granite tartan]

@umbral pine Kanye west

[plush topaz]

Use it as a wick and it uses the oil as fuel

Works great

[granite tartan]

Based?

Anyways

[plush topaz]

Are you still talking?

[umbral pine]

[granite tartan]

@umbral pine warm to the touch

@plush topaz how’s the gun confiscation going

[plush topaz]

Sorry I only talk to people with high school diplomas

[granite tartan]

That’s crazy

Good thing I have one

[plush topaz]

Pics or it didn't happen

[granite tartan]

Fuck you got me

[plush topaz]

As usual

[granite tartan]

You have never once beaten me

You need to take your anti-hallucination medication

[plush topaz]

I've never seen someone so mad about being wrong about sardines.

[granite tartan]

I’ve never seen anyone cope so hard

It’s okay

I’m here to help you

[plush topaz]

Radio!

[icy crag]

Minus mc black 😎

[icy crag]

Getting a Haley chest rig to put on it

[plush topaz]

I like ranger green and mc tropic

[icy crag]

Ranger green is cool, mc tropic is also cool, I just don’t see much good gear for it

[snow scarab]

[plush topaz]

Hey to each their own

[plush topaz]

You mean not much available in those schemes?

[icy crag]

[icy crag]

Incorrect. Heresy even

[plush topaz]

Mc tropic maybe. But ranger I see everywhere
