searching for a klmk jacket or full coverall, where should I look?

[fickle bison]

Real or repro?

[elder forum]

either works as long as its klmk and comfortable

idc if its a real one or repro

[fickle bison]

AliExpress has a pretty cheap repro that works

They have a white berezka camo over suit. I'll dm you the link

[narrow zealot]

is it common for soldiers to carry a handgun on a chest?

[coarse laurel]

drivers do

or some vehicle crew

i was forced to do it on certain occasions because the gunner's hatch or the TC hatch wasnt wide enough for me to draw from the hip

[narrow zealot]

that makes sense

[coarse laurel]

it was a damn better alternative to just having the sidearm ontop of the radio mount for sure in the case of being in a humvee

[whole vault]

got my ops core helmet but my comtacs don't fit under it with the pads. is it possible to shift the pads into a new position so I can fit my comtacs under the helmet?

i.e. comtac headband is in between the pads as opposed to directly under them

[misty mango]

yes

thats what they tell you in the manual

helmet mounted is better though

[whole vault]

okay, a friend also recommended the 4D pads

I'll get them on the ARC rails in the future

@snow scarab so i recently got the ferro concepts plate carriers

[snow scarab]

oh nice

[coarse laurel]

the fcpcv5 and the slickster

both nice

[snow scarab]

just the regular slickster?

[coarse laurel]

yeah its for concealed stuff

[snow scarab]

ah ok

[coarse laurel]

wear it over a jacket

i do have the attachment that lets it take back panels

https://www.wtfidea.com/wtf-ferro-concepts-slickster-back-panel-64-pals-molle/

i recommend these guys to people looking for specific stuff

like if u want mag inserts for your placards

they have their own placards as well

the fcpc is comfy

[snow scarab]

that’s what i’ve heard

[coarse laurel]

from observation alone, the major complainers when it comes to comfort are the fat fucks

and for that i will tell them drop the fucking fork

[snow scarab]

😂

[granite tartan]

You worship a false idol

The fcpc is not good

[snow scarab]

wha

definitely

[granite tartan]

The slickster is dumb as fuck

[snow scarab]

i’ll listen to the man using it

i’m not getting one, but still nice to hear about it

[granite tartan]

You worship

[snow scarab]

all gods are false idols

[granite tartan]

Now buy a cpc

[snow scarab]

i worship a man

his name is ryan reynolds

[snow scarab]

i might honestly

stuck between it or AVS

[granite tartan]

I’m still doing research

I want it for work

@snow scarab what have you gathered on them so far

[snow scarab]

main difference is CPC is more comfortable to wear from what i’m seeing. that and it uses a cage system obviously

AVS is more modularity, CPC is less modular but much tighter on the body and more contact points allowing for better weight distribution

[granite tartan]

They’re both harness

[bitter charm]

Good, I know people who used steroids cause they wanted to look more strong and it didn’t turn out well

Was just concerned

[snow scarab]

they probably didn't put the work in

[worthy heart]

Best kit right here hands down

[left flax]

[steady forum]

thats a good way to compromise the helmet

and make it weak in that one spot

unless its a bump helmet dont do it

[fickle bison]

Steroids can be good in small dosages with breaks in between each dosage

It's those that are heavily reliant on it that loses everything when they don't get their fix

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab slickster is actually useful for PSD if you have to do the whole grayman thing

its not really meant to be used like a normal plate carrier more like to wear it under your coat or jacket

[snow scarab]

not really

not if it’s kevlar

[coarse laurel]

rather wear that than soft armor

[snow scarab]

definitely

[coarse laurel]

i used to wear the MP soft armor at work lol

when i worked in the provost marshal office

[snow scarab]

ew

[plush topaz]

How.

Drilling and cutting helmets is common

[steady forum]

according to MSA, the holes drilled arent the issue, its the final epoxy sealer that is in those holes between the layers that is the deal-breaker. New holes allow moisture in and over time will degrade the kevlar. They wont even take helmets to redrill at the factory.

[worthy heart]

It wont

[worthy heart]

Guess what it's called reepoxy

If your a fucking idiot then yes you can ruin it over time

But if you're smart it won't do shit

People do this all the time plenty of people have tested converted helmets and experience no real change

Retention is a consideration for him

Safariland is the king of retention as far as I’m concerned

All I’ve trained and used is their level two and 3 SLS/ALS

[granite tartan]

You like the sls?

Kinda hate it

[cinder stream]

All I’ve used in training was the level 3 SLS/ALS

I got a pretty fast draw from it

[stuck hazel]

So how can you comment on the Blackhawk

[cinder stream]

Because I’ve seen all the mishaps and lawsuits over NDs and the retention hood being unreliable when dirty

[stuck hazel]

But you have no experience

[cinder stream]

I have a serpa for a Beretta 92 actually

[stuck hazel]

You just don’t train with it

[cinder stream]

It’s an airshit holster

imo

[granite tartan]

Do you own a Blackhawk

[plush topaz]

Yup

[cinder stream]

Don’t need to train with it when there’s reasons on paper why it’s inferior and potentially dangerous

[granite tartan]

Safariland is the pretty much only decent option

All the others either kinda suck or are same price and aren’t as good

[stuck hazel]

No, and I don’t rep them either

[granite tartan]

So why you talking shit

@coarse laurel you have any deployments?

I picked up a lot of shit from working with other nation militaries for sure

I’m stuck for a few years in ranger school tho

[stuck hazel]

Neither did I so what’s your point

[timber fog]

This ain’t you?

[stuck hazel]

I need authority to do that?

[stuck hazel]

You need authority to say this

[timber fog]

Nah, you just need to do your homework for that one

[fickle bison]

Good rule of thumb is that if you never owned or used the product. Best bet is to not make an opinion about it

[stuck hazel]

This

My observations come purely from my knowledge of the entity using it

[coarse laurel]

People are so bad about this

“Oh this xxxxx sucks because xxxxx YouTuber told me so”

Shooters preference exist because gear works for the individual and to their needs

[stuck hazel]

Giving logical reasons as to why stuff is where it is on someone’s gear, and what purpose it serves is one thing

You can build off and take away good info from people doing that

But when the viewer decides that what they are watching isn’t simply reasons and advice for them to build off

And they simply go “what I am watching is correct” and therefore preach for whatever kit they are seeing

Simply because X YouTuber says so

That’s where problems arise

[granite tartan]

Lukewarm take

[icy crag]

Isn’t the k19 quite heavy compared to a lot of carriers

[granite tartan]

It’s heavy and the cummerbund is bad

And the QD is bad

And $300

[stuck hazel]

k19 is disgraceful

[plush topaz]

Yup. This is all the internets fault. Although adding, "I heard or I read" to your statement goes a long way.

[plush topaz]

It's good. But it's getting dated.

[stuck hazel]

its never been the best at anything is my probelm

and yet its unironically hailed as such by some people

[plush topaz]

Brand loyalty is a disease

I'd never ever say it's the best. Mostly because I haven't used every plate carrier to make such a claim.

But it has flaws that I'd say hold it back. It's still a great quality carrier.

[stuck hazel]

perhaps

great is maybe a bit much

its acceptable

i have very very minimal time with one

[whole vault]

What about the MMAC

[stuck hazel]

using one i should say, i would never buy one

[stuck hazel]

MMAC is MMAC

[plush topaz]

I deployed with one

And it served me well

Albeit a very old model that lacked a lot of the new features

[stuck hazel]

il put it this way: its not aged well

[granite tartan]

The k19 was designed in like 2015

[stuck hazel]

fuck me dead

its really not aged well

[granite tartan]

It was never a contender

[plush topaz]

The one sold to the public was yes

But it's much older

[stuck hazel]

the comparison I've got in my head is ofc the 6094, and that's been around forever and is still more than viable

ive met people who hated it because its israeli

"ohhh ur supporting zionism" and other anti-semetic nonesense that has nothing to do with the performance of said kit

[stuck hazel]

i dislike it because it doesn't do things that should be done on modern carriers

[plush topaz]

I've seen it in use with Americans. Canadians. British. Europeans. South East Asians.

[coarse laurel]

same clowns who wear russian shit

[granite tartan]

Based asf

[granite tartan]

Adopted on a large scale?

I’d attribute agilite to ferro concepts

Good marketing

[plush topaz]

Dunno

[granite tartan]

So no

[plush topaz]

I said I don't know

[coarse laurel]

ive seen the JFKSWCS instructors wearing them @plush topaz

the special forces school in fort bragg

[plush topaz]

Not surprised

[coarse laurel]

prob because they have to wear them the whole time

[plush topaz]

They're so comfortable

[granite tartan]

Yeah because the agilite marketing is good

[plush topaz]

[granite tartan]

I don’t think I’ve worn a carrier and was like

“This is comfterable”

I’m like oh this is less shitty

[plush topaz]

You haven't worn enough of them for long enough doing work then.

[granite tartan]

8 hr stretches

Going on 12 hr stretches

[stuck hazel]

enough plate carriers do what the k19 does but better, its not one of the best

[granite tartan]

Most modern carriers do everything the k19 does

With being cheaper

Padding sucks to sit in

Especially in the heat it’s miserable

The spc isn’t bad for heat

[stuck hazel]

im trying really hard not to just blindly rep the 6094 rn

i do it too often

[plush topaz]

I used it in Israel and loved it

Hot as hell

[snow scarab]

you literally have someone telling you that it’s better over longer periods and you said 8 hours 😂

[granite tartan]

Have you compared it to modern carriers?

[granite tartan]

Sleeping In plate carriers?

Kinda based

[plush topaz]

I have. I already spoke of that.

[granite tartan]

Sounds awful

[plush topaz]

Sleeping in a k19 is better than others I've slept in

[coarse laurel]

i slept in ntc like a baby with that thing on

its the fucking mojave

[granite tartan]

What other carriers have you been in

Tbh can’t even argue that something is kinda shitty by people who actively use said product

I could staple plates to myself

[plush topaz]

Marom dolphin, Oso gear, custom carriers, spiritus systems

Although I've never worked in my spiritus.

It's more of a covert piece

[snow scarab]

i might build a second kit with a CPC. still stuck between which one to go with, that or the AVS

@granite tartan i did find out that the AVS is known to sit lower on your body in terms of the plate bags

at least with size matching plate bags

[plush topaz]

I miss this carrier as well. Not sure who made this one.

[muted gate]

fuckkkkk that top photo is a vibe

[plush topaz]

Night of my first raid. 0C (32F), snow. It was an exciting time.

[granite tartan]

I heard the avs is better

But I have short torso

I want a black cpc

[snow scarab]

hot

make me think the russians are coming

[plush topaz]

the Jish are coming

Jish means army in arabic

[snow scarab]

do it bruh

from what i’m seeing it’s pretty much AVS is good at load bearing and modularity, not as comfy. CPC is amazing at load bearing and comfort but shits the bed for modularity

[stuck hazel]

Modularity comes after comfort and load bearing in my eyes at least

[snow scarab]

i mean it is still super comfortable and carrie’s amazing weigjt

[stuck hazel]

Both of them are very good I hear

Cant say much more

[snow scarab]

main difference iirc is it has built in soft body armor for the CPC. that or it has built in pockets

[granite tartan]

Yeah that’s what I’m interested in

Probably so cpc for work

[snow scarab]

yeah, cause you could honestly wear that as your overt

cause most of the time it’s cops choice for concealed body armor or overt

[warped mulch]

🇵🇸

[granite tartan]

I want plates

[snow scarab]

you do realize if you go SWAT you gonna be wearing side plates right?

CPC is gonna be king for that

[granite tartan]

Not always

[snow scarab]

for raids you will be

[granite tartan]

That’s county

Won’t be doing road

Raids

[snow scarab]

then what the fuck is city swat good for?

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab your mom

[timber fog]

The same as city cops

Nothing

[snow scarab]

ong

[granite tartan]

Fucking based

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab talk me out of a cpc

[snow scarab]

nope

i’ve already gotten myself committed to buying one too

although idk if they make it in black

[granite tartan]

Only make it in black

[snow scarab]

cryes website is down so we can’t look and i’m not finding it in black anywhere

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab lol ranger shit is expensive

Hundred bucks just for the beret, flash and crest

Coulda waited until my uniform allowance but nooo I gotta help bury a veteran on Christmas

[snow scarab]

bruh

they forced you to?

i mean equal and sharp i get that

but would’ve thought they’d be stringent af with that stuff

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab stringent how?

[snow scarab]

like with ranger equipment. berets, flash, tabs. they type

just not thinking shit through lol

i’m tired and it’s below 0

[coarse laurel]

Oh yeah they are

I got this from ranger joes

Outside of post

Because the PX sold out

[snow scarab]

damn

[granite tartan]

Man honestly

I should’ve transferred to Washington state with my job

Fuck ah shut

[snow scarab]

to an even more cold and expensive and restrictive state?

[timber fog]

Can’t be too bad, the suicide rates are about the same

[plush topaz]

Wtf.

Why isn't that issued

[coarse laurel]

The supply people are on leave and we have to do funerals

[plush topaz]

What does that entail

[coarse laurel]

We have to do funeral honors for veterans and fallen soldiers

Idk people chose to have their burial around Christmas

[plush topaz]

Old vets?

[coarse laurel]

Yes

[plush topaz]

That's a great honour

headgasket issue

[coarse laurel]

It’s an FA24 engine there hasn’t been a head gasket issue in a decade lol

[oak gazelle]

FA24's are pretty damn nice now

They've always sounded good, even with some of the inherent issues they had at launch

[coarse laurel]

@oak gazelle I literally push 300 hp stock by just replacing the filters

With the grimmspeed ones

Its not bad

[oak gazelle]

Yeah I'd bet, they can put down some power with just some really minor mods

My k20c4 is pushing about the same as your fa24, haven't really don't shit to it yet either

Want to upgrade to the fk7 turbo and intake, just haven't gotten around to it yet

[vast lily]

Scav bosses when they spot a player 2.5 miles away

WHAT TRIGGER

[snow scarab]

@granite tartan i’m boutta buy a CPC from evike, istg

cryes website is down so i can’t see the price on there

[granite tartan]

You already have a plate carrier

[snow scarab]

and?

i have an SPC, not very useful in terms of winter time use

[granite tartan]

I’m about to buy an cpc too inshallah

[granite tartan]

It’s water resistant should be great

Cpc will absorb bunch of wtaet

[snow scarab]

they have different use cases for me. plus i’m buying one to use when i switch to the infantry unit

talked to someone and found out they don’t like the super minimalist carriers like the SPC/JPC and the FCPC

plus CPC has way more material and i trust more material. still smaller than an IOTV tho

[ancient grail]

High-speed asf

[granite tartan]

The dick flap

[ancient grail]

Wee wee protection

[echo jay]

Shovl why u ask if Im west already

[balmy mesa]

Hey y’all anybody familiar with pouches/attachments for plate carriers?

[coarse laurel]

Yes

What are you trying to do

[snow scarab]

jesus christ

yo izu you wanna guess what happened like 5 hours ago?

[coarse laurel]

What

[snow scarab]

goofy shit

that’s what

[coarse laurel]

Whaaaa

How

[snow scarab]

changing lanes to avoid snow, hit said patch of snow while changing and lost control

it was between hitting a full suv or the divider

[coarse laurel]

Were you speeding?

[snow scarab]

swerved to hit the divider otherwise i would’ve also sent a family into a guard rail

nah

was transition from a highway to the freeway

[coarse laurel]

Damn

Is it an rwd/fwd?

[snow scarab]

FWD

[coarse laurel]

That sucks

[snow scarab]

it was a hand me down car, cherokees are just light as fuck compared to most SUVs

[coarse laurel]

This is why I’m glad I drive a subie

[snow scarab]

just registered the fucking thing this monday too

[coarse laurel]

My car thrives in the snow

Rip my dude

[snow scarab]

yeah i’m looking at other SUVs or possibly a subaru

[coarse laurel]

Get a crosstrek

[snow scarab]

miraculously i have no injuries

like a cut on my hand but that’s it

i was easily going 55

[coarse laurel]

You get the awd and it’s a fairly safe car

[snow scarab]

yeah that’s what imma try to do

but now i just gotta figure out how to get to work and shit. can’t get a rental

[coarse laurel]

Or get an Impreza hatch haha

Damn dude

[snow scarab]

cause stupid ass laws

stupidest law ever IMO

[echo jay]

What

Ohhh yeah don't you have to be 21 for rental

[storm peak]

Show you cac, most rentals don't care about age when you do that

[snow scarab]

25

[snow scarab]

i mean i would like to try that but not in this weather

not taking that chance lol

parents are helping me out with it all

[echo jay]

Bro what the FUCK

[storm peak]

Damn, I just realized that majority of yall ain't even 25 yet

Welp @plush topaz pass the benegay because my knees just started aching

[snow scarab]

yup

[snow scarab]

yup couple of youngins. my insurance boutta skyrocket cause of this shit

[storm peak]

I hope ya premium want high

My insurance was $520 a month to get my car off the lot with no tickets on record

With $1k deductible in nc

[snow scarab]

mine was like 220 a month but idk what all my coverage is

i’m boutta switch to usaa if it’s worth it in july

[echo jay]

The fuck

$520/mo

I think thats about what I pay semiannually for a mid engine convertible the fuck you drivin

[timber fog]

Seriously

My insurance hasn’t been in the triple digits since I was 20

[echo jay]

Okay not quite I'm paying about $125/mo

[timber fog]

Still better than $520/mo

[echo jay]

By a lot

No tickets no accidents

[storm peak]

It was back when I was 18 a long time ago

2011 lancer

[timber fog]

But with no tickets?

[storm peak]

I've never once gotten a ticket

[echo jay]

That is a whole decade newer than my car

[timber fog]

So why the hell were you paying so much?

[echo jay]

I've gotten a ticket it's just not on my record as a moving violation

[timber fog]

Did you get full coverage or something? Lol

[echo jay]

He was 18 in a lancer

[timber fog]

So

[storm peak]

Worst state in the US, 18, New driver, lancer, full coverage

[echo jay]

Ahhh

Yeah that'll do it

Cali?

Or NY?

[storm peak]

Got a car on a loan, so full coverage

Nc bro

[timber fog]

Oof

[storm peak]

Nc is beyond the worst state for insurance

[echo jay]

Oh yeah that's the one I was forgetting

Also shitty in general for car ownership is it not

[storm peak]

I don't think yall really understand, it was $520 a month to get it off the lot, that was the cheapest quote I got

[echo jay]

Wonder when I will have paid more on insurance than I paid for the car

[storm peak]

It'll catch up, I paid off my car a few yrs ago and still whip it

[echo jay]

I paid cash for my car

[naive maple]

what kind of tires

[snow scarab]

all weather

[naive maple]

you need real snow tires

studded snow tires

[coarse laurel]

Lol wtf I’m paying 148 a month with State Farm for my 22 wrx

Then again I’m 31

[fallow pendant]

scav mix and match gear ✅
M4 found in bush ✅
I’m a rat scav.

[snow scarab]

wtf

m81 with a UCP IOTV but a pretty clean rifle

[balmy mesa]

I’m trying to set up my carrier, for sure I need a radio pouch and some type of detachable bag for the back I can work with. I’ll send what I’m working with now.

[coarse laurel]

Ok

[snow scarab]

you don't need a bag for the back

[balmy mesa]

I’ve been debating about the bag.
I’m for sure taking that assaulted back panel off and putting hydration pack.

[snow scarab]

if you have no friends that is a great idea

[coarse laurel]

@balmy mesa what kind of radio

If it’s a baofeng it can fit on a regular m4 style pouch

[balmy mesa]

haha. so I’m a medic so I most likely be in the stack possibly.

[coarse laurel]

If it’s a 152 you need an actual 152 pouch

[coarse laurel]

Army? Or just larping?

[balmy mesa]

Army

[coarse laurel]

Lol is that so? Where u stationed at

I’m a 68w as well

[balmy mesa]

the fucked up fort sill lol.

[coarse laurel]

I’m guessing you with 75th FA

[balmy mesa]

hell yeah. That’s what’s up

neg meddac 🙂

[coarse laurel]

Lmfao gotcha

Rip my dude

[balmy mesa]

but I go down to hood to kick it with sfab.

So that’s why I’m trying build some of my gear up.

[coarse laurel]

@balmy mesa I’m cadre in ranger school atm down in Benning

[balmy mesa]

oh shit, you went through the whole socom? and jazz

[coarse laurel]

I literally just came from bliss

Lmao

[snow scarab]

mans got fast tracked

[balmy mesa]

LOL, I need to add you as a friend hold up

[coarse laurel]

Finally made it out of III Corps only to end up in tradoc in ranger school

[snow scarab]

days boutta get a lot longer lol

[balmy mesa]

I was just going through MMaG(medical master gunner) down in hood.

[coarse laurel]

I work 24 on rotating shifts and 48 off during ranger school cycles

[balmy mesa]

III corps is a doozy

[snow scarab]

oh not too bad

[balmy mesa]

sounds like the life bro. Anywho you need to tell me your cadre stories some time.

Back to the gear. Rn I have a normal ole baofeng. I want it to be ITC(inside the cummerbund) or else it’ll just be dangling around when I run lol

[snow scarab]

thats an FCPC right?

[balmy mesa]

Yeth

I can give you a list of what I have currently attached if you like.

[snow scarab]

i wanna say ferro has an ITC pouch for it, i could be wrong

[coarse laurel]

Sure haha and yeah a normal m4 pouch works for a baofeng

That’s what I used for awhile

If u wanna keep it simple

[balmy mesa]

haha. I’ll keep the m4 pouch in mind. let me see if they do offer that.

[coarse laurel]

On the JPC

Kinda wonky picture but I have a whole ass 152 setup

[balmy mesa]

Does it dangle when you run?

[snow scarab]

i need to build up my SPC more before i start doing a CPC

[coarse laurel]

Nope it’s flush on my body

[balmy mesa]

don’t be shy show us 🙂

[coarse laurel]

I bought an FCPC and a Ferro Slickster recently but I’ve been busy with work to bother setting it up

[snow scarab]

haven’t been able to do much with it

punisher skull is gone

[balmy mesa]

okay, can I see the back?
Right now my mind is set on finishing this carrier, then onto the gun belt then helmet and finally the AR

[coarse laurel]

I fixed the no MOLLE issue on the rear plate bag by buying this https://www.wtfidea.com/wtf-ferro-concepts-slickster-back-panel-64-pals-molle/

[balmy mesa]

I like it simple but deadly.

[coarse laurel]

So I can mount my flatpack

[snow scarab]

i need radio pouch internally and then side plates and preferably new main plates but gotta put everything towards a new car now so

[balmy mesa]

One thing I noticed is that you need to memorize what you have in your dangler. cuz you can’t see shit when you look down lol

[snow scarab]

are those fucking comtac 3s with amp arms

[balmy mesa]

Lol noticed that to

[snow scarab]

i’m disgusted

[coarse laurel]

I’ve shown this to you before

[snow scarab]

i don’t think i saw them. you showed the front of the helmet with the NODs

but otherwise that’s all i’ve seen of the helmet

[coarse laurel]

You can’t judge you heretic

lol

[snow scarab]

true, i don’t have any thing lmfao

[balmy mesa]

Where do you get your comtacs?

[snow scarab]

i wanna get a wendy bump with 3s soon

[coarse laurel]

I bought one of em and the other was off the books from work haha

Also if you noticed I ran placards so I can stuff more MARCH shit on my person other than the dangler

[balmy mesa]

fucking mint, where did you buy it from exactly? I got scammed last time I tried to get one lol.

[coarse laurel]

I got mine from Amazon back in ‘19

I can put so much stuff on the pouches

[balmy mesa]

I did notice that. That’s why I was thinking of either detachable bag or just waiting till my mystery ranch comes in and just go hydration on the back.

[coarse laurel]

But I mostly run around with this mystery ranch RATS

Gotta have the CT 6 and the Sam J

Lol

[balmy mesa]

That’s what I got!
speaking of medical gear ever heard of cro?

[coarse laurel]

Cro?

[balmy mesa]

https://www.cromedicalgear.com

[coarse laurel]

No actually

[balmy mesa]

they have like a March belt, portable blood warmer

I just found them a few days ago and was trying to see if anyone put hands on the gear before I buy.

[balmy mesa]

where did you get those patches?????!!!!

[coarse laurel]

The fuckin trauma rolls haha

we have so much patches for em I literally just took em

[balmy mesa]

LOL bro that’s a game changer. My handwriting is shit.

[coarse laurel]

The thing with battle belts is I keep an IFAK, my nods/utility pouch, my mags and my holster

I never put medical shit on it

With the exception of the ifak and a dump pouch for discarded supplies

I can fit everything on the placard and my dangler and if needed I can just go for my rats

I was also mechanized for quite abit

[balmy mesa]

I gotcha. been trying to run some stuff to see if it works or not.

when we did. Our FTX for PCC(prolonged casualty care) My aid bag wasn’t enough supplies nor the trauma hanger.
