[proud hazel]

i thought about drilling my cold war polish helmet for a nvg mount

[plush topaz]

Same

But figured I don't want to risk ruining it

So I got the clip on mount

[misty mango]

drill an m1 steel pot for nods

[plush topaz]

Which is the same style I actually used in the army anyway

[misty mango]

[proud hazel]

ngl its not a bad setup

[proud hazel]

i kinda want to get a converted cvc helmet

cheap ballistic helmet

[plush topaz]

@proud hazel https://zahal.org/product/masada-ballistic-helmet-with-nvg-mount-and-rail-adaptor-iiia/

Cheap Israeli helmet

Lol you can even buy the flip up visor used by Israeli riot cops

[proud hazel]

nice

[plush topaz]

Tested the IR laser on the Mars sight

It's way, way more powerful than I was expecting.

[sand rover]

mars has always looked kinda cheap in bideo games

I know nothing about it's real world counterpart

[plush topaz]

Very tough optic. The built in laser (visible or IR) is a neat feature. Issue is the sight is very tall. No cowitnessing on an AR. Kind of a shitty cheek weld too

But it's right at home on the Tavor. Which makes sense since all Tavors used to be issued with them bolted to the barrel (like mine pictured)

[obsidian wolf]

Cannoli

You have Geiselle trigger Tavor?

[plush topaz]

I wish

[plush topaz]

Waiting for my nods helmet mount

[raw river]

[oblique plover]

How did you get two tours in Korea back-to-back?

My stint in the Army was boring, after OSUT: Ft. Bragg and Ft. Leavenworth before ETSing

[plush topaz]

You’re welcome for my service

[plush topaz]

Please no

[oblique plover]

I'm good chief

[raw river]

The fuck is this video

[plush topaz]

Something he's about to be muted for

[raw river]

this is why i dont go into irl gear

full of airsofters

[oblique plover]

Gear is tools

If you don't intend to use a tool what it was intended for, it's just a waste and collecting dust

[timber linden]

Oh god no

I won’t be able to LARP on my couch for a day

Fuck

[stuck hazel]

thank you for your service

[plush topaz]

Come larp with me on my couch

[timber linden]

You’re welcome

Just remember who gave you your freedom

[stuck hazel]

[coarse laurel]

Inter-theatre transfer

I was in an MP Battalion

It was kinda unnecessary because my detachment went to camp Casey, Yongsan Garrison, Humprheys and Camp Bonifas at the DMZ

[coarse laurel]

The irony is he is a British subject of the crown

Also it’s not cool to make fun of autistics

[raw river]

fuck the queen

or king

whoever is the royalty now

[stuck hazel]

he must be thanked for his service

[plush topaz]

Daily reminder to thank me for my service.

[oblique plover]

That's a thing now?

[snow scarab]

i’m sorry you had to be in leavenworth

[coarse laurel]

Yes, they do that in Korea for FSTE (Foreign Service Tour Extension)

@oblique plover what’s your mos anyways

Fuck cooks

[zenith gust]

lmfao like i said this the larp channel

[zenith gust]

if a cook hear you say that you gonna be eating chicken sashimi for a week and getting asian beef strip mres for thanksgiving

[coarse laurel]

Fuck cooks because they caused the worst food poisoning outbreak I’ve ever seen

As you can see I’m a medic and I’ve had to deal with the fallout from that

Also I bring my own food in the field lol

[snow scarab]

kek

[zenith gust]

maybe if you hadn't insulted the cooks so much and thanked them for their service they wouldn't deliberately try to poison your food

[raw river]

thank you for your cervix

[coarse laurel]

Damn straight, now I want my free Applebees meal

[raw river]

all i got is feet pics

but my feet are fucked beyond repair

fucking boots caused my right big toe to have 2 ingrown sides and one toe doesnt even have a nail on it

it just fell off during an FTX

[coarse laurel]

I do toe nail removals on the daily here in ranger schools

[raw river]

i highly considered removing all my nails

[coarse laurel]

It’s gonna suck but it’s survivable if you can last through the patrols

[raw river]

oh my medic wrapped my toe so tight i couldnt feel it so i could finish the training lol

[snow scarab]

bro i was at the range during veterans day. shit sucked

[raw river]

never go out on vets day

[timber linden]

[misty mango]

[echo jay]

Fuck that. I've had that done 3 times and they always come back

[plush topaz]

They were done improperly then

[granite tartan]

@raw river @plush topaz I’m at an event with ilose26

[echo jay]

[granite tartan]

[echo jay]

I mean they're doing okay now cannoli but I've had to fix one myself since the last operation

[plush topaz]

Oopsies

[plush topaz]

Your nails should have a warranty or some shit. That's unacceptable.

[echo jay]

My toes just hate me. Which is fair. I hate me too

[raw river]

eh im not spending 4 grand on something i already do myself every 5 years

[echo jay]

[plush topaz]

@low fox convert mike to plate frame

[granite tartan]

No

@snow scarab bro holy fuck these guys have mpu-5s

[snow scarab]

like the atak system?

er, radio

[granite tartan]

Radios

They’re dropping them around they act as repeaters and shit

[whole vault]

I have had cellulitis from them. I have had them cut so many times they asked if I wanted to kill the root with acid next time they cut it. Doing it myself made it 3x worse

Apparently its genetic

[plush topaz]

That doesn't sound right

[echo jay]

I'm free

mine's genetic, the first time I had it they killed the root with acid but did a horrible job, I wasn't properly numbed and they burned the hell out of the side of my toe

took almost two years for the nail to grow back, immediately was worse than before they did that, had it partially cut out down to the root and that one has given me no issues since

the other toe I fought off myself for almost 3? years I think before I finally caved and had it cut out once I had been living with it ingrown for about a year

and yeah I probably had cellulitis in one of those toes for a while but it never spread

[plush topaz]

Who are these back alley doctors you're seeing?

[echo jay]

well the first one was like a urgent care type place and I never plan to go to one of those ever again if I can help it

the second time (which has fixed left toe to date, fingers crossed) was my pediatrician

third time was an actual podiatrist and have had no issues since

first one is also part of why I don't take painkillers

[whole vault]

My podiatrist suggested i kill it with acid next time

The nail is like growing sideways i to my toe but it is fine for now

[echo jay]

considering that you are dealing with a podiatrist that actually knows what they are doing that is probably a good idea

do they want to kill the entire base or just the sides

[whole vault]

Just the right side. I was blowing pus out of it last time

Not fun

Right now it only gets irritated when Im hiking

[echo jay]

yeah doing just the side is good

that urgent care place took the whole nail and killed the entire root

[whole vault]

F

Lazy

Why not just cut the whole toe off

[echo jay]

went to school right after that too, what little numbing they did wore off before the day ended, then I couldn't walk for a day and a half

[echo jay]

trust me I seriously wanted to cut both of them off at one point

@granite tartan what bikini covers do you have? And what wrap did you get?

[granite tartan]

Nocorium wrap

And custom night vision bikini

I wouldn’t get them

Daylight caps are better

[plush topaz]

I want both.

[granite tartan]

Can’t run both

[plush topaz]

Not at the same time you pastrami

[granite tartan]

Or make a butler creek cap thing

Those are cool

With the iris

[plush topaz]

Ya that's what someone else said

[granite tartan]

Wait you got photonis

I wouldn’t do an iris

[plush topaz]

Why

[granite tartan]

You trade light performance for focus

And you have gen 2 tubes

So I wouldn’t

[plush topaz]

Well I could at least test it

See if it works

[crystal halo]

Who determines that?

[timber fog]

The inhabitants of #irl-gear

[granite tartan]

Or me

Which is everything cause y’all are poor

[plush topaz]

Disagree. I think you are the poorest

[stoic bolt]

Ya mike got his balls in a twist because he spent 10k on night vision goggles

[plush topaz]

How long until your binos are paid off

[plush topaz]

He does need to use them.

[misty mango]

[plush topaz]

We're about that drip life

[stoic bolt]

He needs to see inside of his house at night to watch for the Repo man trying to take his car

[plush topaz]

I just choked on my coffee

[granite tartan]

I use them daily

[granite tartan]

I never financed them

[plush topaz]

You paid with credit

So that's what I'm referring to

[plush topaz]

Hell yes

[granite tartan]

I pay for it on a credit card

I pay for everything with a credit card

But I didn’t finance it

[plush topaz]

......

Yes. But have you paid off your credit card

[granite tartan]

It’s been paid off

For a while

[granite tartan]

Credit is based

Financing isn’t

[timber fog]

Nah

Credit’s a scam

All forms of it

[granite tartan]

Bad opinion

Because you’re bad with it doesn’t make it bad

Just makes you bad with credit

[stoic bolt]

[stoic bolt]

Cope on this Dick

[timber fog]

My credit’s fine, just because you’re cucked to big bank doesn’t make credit not a scam

[granite tartan]

You are cucked on big bank regardless

If you use a debit card

[timber fog]

We live in a society

Crazy

[granite tartan]

If you use only cash based

[timber fog]

Difference is you’re advocating for it

If you are relying on big bank

[compact dagger]

sometimes yes sometimes no

depends what socks i have on

[low fox]

u ever worn gortex boots before?

i thought it was cool too

make sure not to wear it in the sun or in hot weather

i tried to play tennis on a sunny day and damn near passed out bc my feet sweated all my water out

[low fox]

nice pickup brotha proud of you

[compact dagger]

nope

all the issued stuff was shit

and only heard good reviews from colleagues

[compact dagger]

tennis in goretex boots ?

wut

[low fox]

i was in utah to visit a friend and didnt anticipate how boring that place is/how fun exercise is

didnt bring me athletic gear

[compact dagger]

damn i guess it really was boring if you decided to play damn tennis in boots

[naive maple]

boring????

utah?

big wide open places to shoot

great mountains to ski

[plush topaz]

Tennis in waterproof boots

What. The. Fuck.

Do you play basketball in jeans too?

Maybe soccer in a snow suit?

[granite tartan]

Are those the gen 2

Those do be 🙏

I need to snag another pair

[compact dagger]

its Zephyr MK2 GTX HI

so i gues its gen 2

at least usually mk2 means generation 2

or smth like that

[granite tartan]

Why hi?

You military?

[compact dagger]

ye

i guess Hi is just the height ?

[compact dagger]

If so, idk why would one immediately jump to military

[granite tartan]

I have two pairs of these boots

[granite tartan]

People outside of the military typically don’t run hi cut boots

[compact dagger]

ah

was thinking i'd get either mid or high

[granite tartan]

I like mid

[compact dagger]

the store only had high in my-ish size

[granite tartan]

Not too many uses a high cut boot has

[compact dagger]

43.5 too big, so next ones im getting will be 43 flat

[granite tartan]

You’re euro?

[compact dagger]

ye

[granite tartan]

Lowa is my favorite boot

Easily

[compact dagger]

same with my mates from the unit

those who have lowas praise them

[compact dagger]

except the part when you get water in them while out in the field and legit no way to dry them

[granite tartan]

Goretex boots suck

In heavy water

Don’t dry I gotta pick up another pair of boots for that reason

[granite tartan]

Boot dryer

[compact dagger]

in the field ?

Doubt i'll find 220v plug in the nearest tree

[granite tartan]

Yeah…. No

If you’re going to be faced with a lot of water

Sealskins and quick drain boots

So the Lowa non GTX

Is the way to go

[compact dagger]

Ye i have socks like that, not sealskins tho

didn't have them in stock in store when i went there

[granite tartan]

What country are you in?

[compact dagger]

Hate that there are no proper military stores here

[granite tartan]

Slov?

[compact dagger]

maybe outside the main base where the foreigners are deployed to

nah Latvia

And even if i'd be in that main base i wouldn't be allowed to go into the store regardless

sicne its just for foreigners

Also hate that when we went to Hohenfels base we couldn't buy items above 25$

or whatever the limit was

so couldn't get anything good from stores

and since i'm pretty closed guy IRL i can't just go to random american dude and bother him by asking if he could get me something from the store

[granite tartan]

Lmao

[compact dagger]

I know that they would most likely help out

but fuck me i'm not asking some guy to buy something like a JBL speaker for me

[granite tartan]

Get bent my friend

🇺🇸

[compact dagger]

ngl kinda tempted to throw on my tracksuit and take those boots for a run

to see how well they handle ice

[plush topaz]

Id also get highs

[plush topaz]

[uneven oriole]

Ballistic resistance: shrapnel-proof – V50 rating above 600 m/s for shrapnel of FSP 1,1g, bullet-proof – 357 Magnum JSP 10,2g (425±15) m/s and 9x19 mm FMJ 8,0g (360±15) m/s - according to PN-V-87001:2011

You like Texas?

[verbal karma]

Yes

Most based state

[granite tartan]

I am considering moving

[verbal karma]

Literally the only downside is no BLM land

[granite tartan]

That sucks

I like having private free larp zone

But it’s paid for by work

[verbal karma]

I mean the only reason the western states all have tons of BLM land is because the government essentially claimed the land and “gave it away” to them

Texas it was all already owned when it was brought into the union

So imminent domain is much harder here

[granite tartan]

I was looking at Austin

I miss city living ngl

[verbal karma]

Gross

[granite tartan]

Figured

What parts of Texas are based

Where I live kinda fucks ngl ngl

[verbal karma]

The parts that aren’t cities

[granite tartan]

Fair

[verbal karma]

Or small college towns

Those are kinda dumb too

[granite tartan]

Idk yet, I might stay in SC

Move to the upstate

[verbal karma]

Didn’t you just start a job as an armed meter maid?

[snow scarab]

💀

they have dumb af laws

[verbal karma]

Before you try and say something idiotic like Arizona remember who your state voted for in the last election

[snow scarab]

texas is just stupid all around

[verbal karma]

Sounds like cope and seethe

[snow scarab]

from some stupid things regarding guns, their taxes, prices

[verbal karma]

What stupid things regarding guns?

[snow scarab]

“oh cool no income tax” “why is my sons school so shittly funded”

[verbal karma]

It’s all at the local level

[snow scarab]

not true constitutional carry mainly

[verbal karma]

What

Lmao what are you on about?

[snow scarab]

you have to be 21 to carry a firearm in texas

18 if you are military

[verbal karma]

No you don’t

That was overturned in a court case recently

Also stop reaching to justify your cope and seethe

[muted gate]

"As of 2021, Texas law no longer requires people to have a license to carry (LTC) in order to carry a handgun in most public places. See our Carry of Firearms page for more info on this new law. However, Texans are still able to get a license to carry after the new law takes effect."

[snow scarab]

still have to be 21 for handguns

[verbal karma]

Again

[granite tartan]

I don’t want 18 year olds near me

Let alone around guns

[verbal karma]

That was recently overturned in a court case in the 5th circuit and there is an injunction preventing LE from enforcing the 21+ portion of the law until the state can amend the law.

Stop coping and seething because you’re an agelet

[snow scarab]

i can carry no matter what in my state lol

[verbal karma]

It literally says so in your “evidence”

[snow scarab]

plus lots of land and cheap as fuck to live in

[verbal karma]

What state

[snow scarab]

kansas

[muted gate]

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/25/us/texas-handguns-under-21.html

[snow scarab]

literally one of the cheapest states to live in the country

[muted gate]

found the citation

[snow scarab]

and kansas is based af

[verbal karma]

Okay so you and the literally three other people who live in Kansas can carry to your lack of a job because no economy

[granite tartan]

Holy fuck this was under federal court of appeals

[granite tartan]

Stay there

[muted gate]

IM NOT DISAGREEING

[snow scarab]

lol kansas has a pretty high per capita

[muted gate]

IM JUST POSTING THE CITATION

[granite tartan]

I wasn’t arguing with you

I meant

This is based

[verbal karma]

I think he was pointing out this was 5th circuit

So it effects more than just Texas

[granite tartan]

Applies to all 5th circuit

And become persuasive in other court appealing a

District courts is wack ngl

[verbal karma]

It also creates a potential for a circuit split and supreme court intervention

[granite tartan]

Still need a writ of ceretori

Certiorari*

[verbal karma]

Because 9th or 7th or 2nd try some hankey pankey “interpretation” and create a split the supremes would probably step in

[granite tartan]

[low fox]

if its the summer and you want to do anything other than shoot guns, there is nothing to do. most utahans i ran into (i was in mormon country) are antisocial and a bit odd (i was on a 3 hour car ride and all they talked about was whose moms potato salad was good).

[echo jay]

ye okay then

[low fox]

i thought id be hiking in the cold and rain (but forgot my utah buddy was a fatass) and forgot to pack not warm clothes.

suffice to say i still whooped his ass at pickleball (some stupid white person version of tennis)

[low fox]

[snow scarab]

@oak gazelle was it you who asked the pics of the padding?

or was it @misty mango

[misty mango]

yeah it was me

ok that doesn't actually look bad

on the product pics it looks like a single layer of slightly suspended mesh

actually looks kinda comfy

id get an SPC if we actually had reasonable prices for crye here

cheapest ive ever seen a JPC 1.0 was like 300+

second hand

i dont even think they exist in the uk for less than 1k

[snow scarab]

i mean it kind of is but it’s a thickish layer

[misty mango]

yeah but it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as i thought

@low fox

cant have shit in europe

almost twice the price

tis the plan

[granite tartan]

Bro

Come

To EVO

DO IT

Yeah, and?

[raw river]

I slept in my lbx 0300 last night was too drunk to take it off

[misty mango]

[raw river]

@granite tartan ferro radio pouch got here yesterday its pretty nice

[misty mango]

[granite tartan]

I use the airlite pouch

[raw river]

Was gonna buy one but sold out everywhere

[granite tartan]

That sucks

Now you need plates

[raw river]

Should be coming next week ish

[snow scarab]

i might actually use mine as a magazine pouch

@low fox i’m tempted to get the S&S plate covers

[granite tartan]

It kinda sucks as a mag pouch ngl ngl

Don’t

[snow scarab]

yeah with two it sucks

one it’s fine

[granite tartan]

Get a uh

Fuck idek what it’s called

[snow scarab]

it’s literally just to go over the plate so it hides better bruh

[granite tartan]

Sounds cool

I haven’t even gotten my shit from s&s

[snow scarab]

i’m not buying straight from them

[granite tartan]

Where??!

[snow scarab]

https://offbase.co

[pseudo fossil]

Hey kids

Is Crye spc good

[snow scarab]

extremely

it’s mega based

[pseudo fossil]

Awesome that looks cool I ordered just the carrier last night in black where u get the rest of the stuff I don’t know nothin!!

[snow scarab]

where did you buy it from?

and you bought both the bags and the cummerbund right?

[granite tartan]

its alright

I dont think its better than a JPC

Id wait for the JPC-R

[snow scarab]

that’s because you didn’t set yours up properly and don’t have a use case that fits it honestly

[granite tartan]

I fucking hate you

You are so dumb it baffles me

i set mine properly, i literally told you how to set it up

[timber fog]

😂😂😂

[granite tartan]

it is missing a bunch of admin shit for a place carrier

And its annoying

it doesnt even distrubute the load better its a sandwhich style carrier

and they're big as fuck

i think 2023

pprobably Q4

or Q1 2024

I swear SPC owners are fart huffers

[snow scarab]

i have 0 weight on my shoulders lol

like i can literally shrug myself out of my shoulder straps and the plates are still firm on me

[granite tartan]

its literally a sandwhich carrier

its nothing special

[low jungle]

anyone know where I can find an MG3 adjustable stock? anything will do (real, reproduction or 3d files)

[muted gate]

hahahahahahaha

[low jungle]

?

[muted gate]

you aint gonna find shit

anything bund is expensive as fuck

[low jungle]

hence why I asked about reproduction or 3d files

[timber fog]

Best bet’s probably gonna be to ask in #irl-weapons if you haven’t already

[low jungle]

have done already
Just put in here and airsoft channel to hopefully get more results

[timber fog]

Word, good luck

[stuck hazel]

boutta cop a LEAF wolf grey set for 150

[snow scarab]

DAMN

[stuck hazel]

used ofc but i mean who wouldnt

[granite tartan]

Gray cool

[timber fog]

That’s a come up

[stuck hazel]

rlly like my current leaf assault shirt so

more cant hurt

[wind cave]

i like kansas

[snow scarab]

yessir

[raw river]

@snow scarab honestly if you get a light frame and know how to sew an Alice pack can do everything a modern pack can for a 1/4th of the price

You can buy some crazy Alice packs with carbon fiber or titanium frames with Molle, extra waterproofing and extra pouches online wouldn't be surprised if @muted gate has one

[muted gate]

I run a stock alice pack. The Fuck you on

No light frame. I enjoy the pain

[raw river]

Cringe

[muted gate]

Legit alice is the best

Correction second best

The ones after alice are great

Modern army ones suck as the sleeping abg carrier is inside the pack

Cutting internal volume by half

And a bitch to pack

[raw river]

If u can sew you can just make attachment points

[muted gate]

Nah. Google the current ruck

And then the old BDU one

Sleeping bag carrier is seperate

[snow scarab]

the current one has it as part of the same compartment

[snow scarab]

the current ruck is comfortable as fuck

[raw river]

https://rokmangear.com/product/rokman-carbon-fiber-pack-frame/

[muted gate]

READ WHAT I WROTE

[snow scarab]

the MR frame is the best from what i’ve heard

[muted gate]

https://bandmmilitarysurplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WC-Molle-Pack.jpg
BDU HAS A SEPERATE POCKET

[raw river]

i might get an alice pack for a new ruck

[muted gate]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/otEAAOSwhkJgynDP/s-l500.jpg
OCP IS ONE PIECE

[raw river]

the one i have is from when i was in the boy scouts fucking 10 years ago

[muted gate]

It cuts internal volume by about 1/3 to 1/2

The ocp one is the same as the one introduced with the ACU

It sucks

You cant fit a whole sleeping system in easily

[snow scarab]

two pockets

it zippers off and you still have around 3k cubic inches of space

[muted gate]

Dude. It cuts the volume by a third

If you sit them side by side

[snow scarab]

how much volume does your ALICE pack have?

just the pack

[muted gate]

IM NOT TALKING ALICE

[snow scarab]

you literally are

[muted gate]

IM TALKING THE ONE RIGHT AFTER ALICE

[snow scarab]

then how much space does that one have

[muted gate]

WHICH IS MOLLE 2

[snow scarab]

yes

[muted gate]

Off the top of my head no clue

[snow scarab]

you say the molle 2 is dumb

because it doesn’t have a seperate compartment

[muted gate]

IM SAYING THE NEW MOLLE 2 PACK IS DUMB

[snow scarab]

and i’m telling you, you don’t realize how much space it actually loses

[muted gate]

Holy fuck im doing something. Ill yell in 20

[snow scarab]

because i guarantee you, even with it closed off

[muted gate]

Till then fuck off

[snow scarab]

it still has more space than an alice would

the molle 2 is amazing

at this point i honestly don’t know what you are crying about

cause you said the molle 2 is dumb cause it doesn’t have shit the alice does, but now you are talking only about the molle 2

[coarse laurel]

i hate the molle 2 just because of the frame but it does have a fuckton of space

[snow scarab]

if it wasn’t so god damn squeaky it would be perfect

i think it’s comfy

[coarse laurel]

i do not like the fucking creaking when im doing movements

[snow scarab]

i like the medium rucks

[coarse laurel]

also fuckin amateurs are the only one who complain about sleep systems being too bulky inside a ruck

learn to compress that shit

[muted gate]

fuck im done with my shit

there are two different molle rucks

[coarse laurel]

yes its called the large and medium ruck

[muted gate]

The old woodlands and then the newer ACU ones

[coarse laurel]

medium ruck being the one with zippers also without the sustainment pouches

[muted gate]

The older woodlands are the same size as the newer ACU and OCP ones

[coarse laurel]

their nomenclature is also molle ii

[muted gate]

Except the older woodland ones have a separate pouch for the sleeping system

[muted gate]

yeah i have the OG manual with the old old assault pack

my point is, the older BDU rucks have more internal volume with the sleeping system being stored in a SEPERATE POUCH

as with it being internal to the newer OCP and ACU ones it cuts about a third of the internal volume

which is inherently how volume works

[coarse laurel]

give me the nsn

[muted gate]

of the old one

[coarse laurel]

yes

[muted gate]

ill have to find the manual

its in my shelf

[coarse laurel]

if u cant find the manual it should be inside the bag on the tag

personally i dont use my molle II outside of transporting shit

when i ruck i use mystery ranch or erblestock

[muted gate]

i use it due to doing living history shit

and they were cheap and great

[coarse laurel]

tactical tailor MALICE packs are great as well

[muted gate]

god damnit, this is the 2009 manual

i dont want to go dig for my ruck

[storm peak]

Whatcha rock for Eberlestock?

[muted gate]

wait found the 99 manual

[storm peak]

I picked myself up a gunslinger 2 bag just the other say for this winters bear hunt

[muted gate]

@coarse laurel So i completely forgot this, but the OG M81 Molle had 2 seperate packs that linked together (I never removed them)
The main pack which didnt have space for a bag and the multiple other attachments under said bag on the frame

one of which was the sleeping system carrier

http://inrd.gotdns.com/alice/MOLLE_Care_and_use_manual-1.pdf

with the old shitty gen 1 frame

PG 15, 17 for pics and 37-38 for NSNs

https://ciehub.info/ref/TM/10-8465-236-10_2009-11-02.pdf

[snow scarab]

[cold ledge]

I felt like a ghost buster when I tried a set on so I hope it’s better for you lol

[plush topaz]

@stuck hazel Gen 2 pants?

They fit smaller right. Like a medium in leaf pants would be a large normal pants?

[stuck hazel]

Basically

My medium gen 2 shirt is definitely bigger than a medium

[stuck hazel]

Gen 1

Gen 2s would be alphas

Which I nearly nabbed in MC for 180 a while back but

The Gen 1s are apparently just as good

Hate to say it…

[plush topaz]
