what kind of cummerbund
i have an elastic cummerbund that prevents this
other designs have shock cord in the back that should perform the same function
@onyx skiff the front plate should sit at about the clavicle area and the plate should be nipple to nipple and end somewhere between the bottom of the ribcage and the 3rd rib up. rear plate should be in the exact same area but on the back. if you wish i can give you the IRL measurements for those ballistic plates
Was just an example I could quickly find.
So I thought I had a blem and black boxed my unit and nothing happened.
yeah the problem is it has at minimum a one inch ring around the plate due to USGI requirements
AND THEN
nah its fine i dont have to be accurate by millimeters , i just need for it to look not horrible. thank you
I realized. I didn’t clean the sac lens and it was a piece of dirt.

El Stupido
Strikes again
its not gonna be that. its just so you have proper sizing if your torso is going to be a certain size
Try starting by lowering the entire thing to be basically in line with the armpit
9.5x12.5 is a medium and large is 10.125x13.25
is it that low?
damn
Here is a good image
See how the carrier starts around where the height of the armpit?
Avrg person will fit Medium plates very well
If you are brick shaped Large is good.
If you are 6foot4 + and 250 XL is your size
If ur fat buy medium and lose weight.
This has been my sizing guide.

The truth they don’t want to be told.
this is too low
like i said, top of the front plate should sit around the clavicle/sternal notch.
Yeh I agree that might be a bit too low but it's much better than the start
wow its a shame they banned that other guy he sounds based
Why was he banned
idk if he even is or you just wrote his name wrong
i just thought that was a funny name
His name is white and not in the server
Probably deleted his acc
I want to say the @ should still work even if he left the server
Deleted accts become Deleted User#0000
Smart
Our guy larping seriously
Think I need to redo my carrier. It's too big or something. The sides need to be tighter
What kind of carrier? And how is it fitting strange?
A black one. It's probably airsoft and it's a weighted one to give the weight. It's not a real one.
Almost the same we used all the blue ones
Buying a real carrier with real armour that's properly sized and fitted helps
Yessss :3
mølk
Maito
Piens
Original jugoslavian "penis" helmet with certification and a original ussr ak-47 bayonet
Mine
No wonder my dbal is getting trashed. I have the old Model on the left
The square fire button is garbage
Mom hi
Oh, the give me attention hat
1 euro tho isn’t bad for that hat
I figured everyone was using external switches by now
Found the only real use for a MK6
This is the old 6b7 harness
Luckily as always they just stole the harness design from someone else so the mk6 harness is a direct replacement
This deployment I chose not to.
Picked up three surplus multi cam tops today for 50 bucks
Night shooting last night I was running this
Not enough space on the top rail?
Tape switches are nice. But only if you have a backup primary fire switch on whatever device is connected to.
Also, if you can get something with more powerful illuminators than the LS 321 my God do it
The 321 has a maximum effective range of probably 25 yards
Yeah and I only have the ptt that came with it. Need a picatinny adapter
The illuminator?
I got some 221's for my unit.
No illuminator.
Reckon it's the better model since the 321 illuminator is useless lol
Its basically a ir tlr7
Sounds like you need a 3D printer
Electrical tape works too
Anyone have any savotta stuff
Their ads are rad af
Savotta is superior
i just ordered the savox headsets
hopefully they are good
The material on that backpack is so rough and durable it tears my skin
Time to toughen up 😏
Damn, bad decisions after bad decisions after bad
Wild take. Elaborate for the class
Actually since you wanna start in like that I went and pulled receipts
Absolutely wild you said bad decisions with boog themed bullshit and a strike angled grip and a clamp Handguard.
What’s wrong with the strike grip just curious. I don’t have one but I think it looks pretty comfortable
I think its more of a preference thing
Ah
I dont like angled grips vc I have small hands
Ah I’m the opposite
But there’s no like manufacturer based reason I shouldn’t get one
The strike I mean
and gripping the handguard allows u to control recoil better than sorta holding it bc that angled grip is putting space between the handguard and ur hand
ya
wtf is that barrel length tho
Mainly he posted a picture of him pinching it to hold it.
LMFAOO
300 BO short barrels
that makes sense
8.5?
This dude came swinging so I had to set him@straight real quick.
I hate anything under 14.5 unless it has a reason to be shorter
Not a good judge of barrel lengths unless I know the handgaurd being used
I work in cars 11.5 gang. However for my home gun for my long driveway.
probably an all aero build
Unless something’s changed Aeros pretty ok right?
their lowers are ok
everything else is shit
their uppers
Shit is Bear Creek and Anderson
bcm is better if ur on a budget
And other Turkshir.
I hate both lmao
$300 more usually tho. I do t disagree but some people are indeed poor.
When did BCM become budget 💀
I keep seeing vids of them having all the problems and apparently Reno mays friend had one fail in a situation
theyre fucked after around 600 rounds
u get what u pay for
I guess if your paying sub $500 for an AR in 2024 you should know your basically buying a time bomb
I too have strike parts but yeah had to roast that guy on principle
ya
when they started selling $800 uppers that compete with dd uppers
sry I didnt respond earlier
Strike stuff is cool for when you want a little sifi on your gun
Ah I didn’t see that
check their website
And the dual folding brace lockup is better than any SB 1913 brace
@raven beacon @cobalt bramble
Nice
Optimal Coyote Control loadout.
Glock and another mag in the sling bag.
Told them little shits to stop fucking with my dogs and farm animals
he's out of line but he is right, somogear for anything other than airsoft is pretty yikes
We are at 1,700 rounds on 1 unit and 500 on another. No issue yet. For the sake of duty Metal units should be used but the somogear push FP at a sliver of the price.
We are evaluating the somogear NGAL next.
And using a somogear for airsoft is yikes it will take eyesight away it’s full power
Also the civ Steiner sucks money peen
As does basically every other “civ” laser. But especially the Steiner.
western lasers cost too much for my poor ass
chinese ones suck too much
but i'm waiting for the holosun iris
supposed to release Q2 this year
noicee
Looks promising. If it can compete with FP lasers it will game change.
That said. Everything RU/UKR conflict has shown us that lasers get you killed (not political only referring gear usage no sides take, no smiting me mods)
Have to add that disclaimer
And that drones are scary af. Especially since the usage of flying by fiber wire.
New loadout meta is long boi battle rifle and shotgun with birdshot for drones.
yeah its just a supplement
😂
i havent experimented too much with it yet but so far i dont see any issues with passive aiming with an eotech
its just like aiming in the daytime
idk what people are talking about with it being cumbersome and needing those goofy giraffe mounts
it's already the same as aiming in the daytime
Nice
Proper stock to shoulder weld.
That’s my old gen1 monocular
This is what we rock now.
Jerry31 is very competitive for its price point. Gen3 unfilmed is still king, but for the $3800 spent these are very solid and feature packed.
With lens adaptors mount and helmet I’m into this project about $4400
Definetly isn’t as good in transiting low light to high light thresholds compared to other units. People complained of low moonlight it being unusable but that’s hogwash. I live in the middle of nowhere and had no trouble.
2% moon and overcast on this video.
I am now $450 into my loadout
We simply shine a 11000 lumen light at the things we hunt

(Coyotes)
It’s effective for sure
Don’t forget the rail segment and wood skews for the bubba light
you should get another stock and bubba the fuck out of it
That way you can appall visitors and switch it back whenever
EBR makes a stock for it lol
It’s so cursed
Wait no not ebr
Sage international
The dudes that made the m14 ebr chassis
It’s so bad 💀
Fuck yah
The most egregious fit
Looks like an sks killed an EBR and is now trying to wear its skin
In the woods?
Hwhe
Honestly sks bull pup stocks are kinda cool
Oh no

posting here since image perms, spent a while looking for a good image — but @cyan ferry this is the view from my 3 bedrooms windows lol. this is mostly every modern/newly built Dutch neighborhood.
yeah that shit is nice
another cool example; a brand, brand new neighborhood a 10 min drive away from mine. "Emperor's Farm" — with street names and architecture taking hints from the early Roman ages.
instead of 'regular' apartment complexes; they straight up have this:
and the weather looks good. like perfect weather to me
had to look for picture, but found it;
those are like apartment buildings there?
all taking hints of roman architecture. though i must add this is not the standard, this is quite an exceptional neighborhood even for Dutch standards
yes — in this neighborhood, they are. the entire place has just one singular 'theme' which in this case is yet again the early Roman ages.
our neighborhood also has a similar one to the second image, but in our own neighborhood's theme, which is islands and water.
it resembles a very large "atlantis"-like temple
this is 'our' neighborhood's apartment complex.
i live almost right next to it. the picture really doesn't do it justice to how it is irl.
though i'm going to be brutally honest here; this is kind of misleading lol — albeit we have a very decent climate (mild winters, comfortable & enjoyable summers) , the weather itself can be terror lol
we can have brutal lightning storms and ice rain just come and go every other random day
and have a week of 24^C sun afterwards
Dutch weather is basically a dice roll. I've had to go through some wars on my daily bicycle commutes back in high-school lmao
i could go on for hours and hours about just my neighborhood alone, but i'll leave it at one final pic to not flood this channel lol
man, home.
Homes are IRL Gear
why hydra mount on ar
That rail isn’t rated to hold zero. It’s a clamp style. Something like the wedge lockup is better suited. Like my ral8000 pew.
Also NV height and it’s cool.
i mean, you dont need a sub moa rated zero for a lazer habibi
But I can 
Not when you buy China mount and use real screws.
You are thinking too hard
Welcome to the thunder zone.
It also blocks the piston adjustment
is pvs 7 NV actually as bad as people say
I had a weird idea of putting that stock on a shotgun
I mean you can get a pvs7 with a decent tube. But they require both eyes leaving no peripheral vision and poor depth perception
I wish there was a way to get NV under or around $1000 so can frolic through the woods at night and perhaps use with rifle
but the peripheral vision thing, depending on how bad it is, could be an issue for that
I'll trip and die on a branch or something lol

It's worth saving up for
But at the same time it isn't. It's the dumbest most expensive hobby ever
I know I would have an amazing time with some night vision. I love hiking through the woods at night, most of the time with no light 😂
would be really cool to see everything in the dark and see all the stars
PNV-10T looking real nice rn
its ultra sick
youre american so you can get away with paying 2000 dollars for a pvs14
we gotta pay 3k eur for the same spec
Damn where do you find em for 3k? I Wana know
shady people on discord
Fair enough xD
you need to get over your initial reflex to not buy expensive gear from randoms on the internet
at that point you can buy state of the art gen3 online for 3k eur
Maybe we'll get some influx of NVG/Thermals from Ukis after the shitshow is over.
i PMed you
Thanks
w or not

First actual pc setup @grand walrus
nice
Que the AC1 flaming 😂
didnt read the message and i was still about to talk shit
I have that same patch in my truck
looks like a modernized version of the over vest plate carrier they tested while they where waiting on the IBA
i mean, it’s an AC1. it does nothing special but charges like it does
amazon basics ass PC
pretty much
Hey my buddys 6B47 replica has a fucked liner, can yall help him out?
Is it bad or something
it’s pretty meh
I heard you can buy a good suspension system wtuh something better
No people just hate on it because it’s from T-Rex arms
much apretiated
it’s also just meh. little extra money and you get much better quality and expandability
I just caught a soldier using a fake acog
tregiconn
Chinaconn
he brought it himself?
send him to the armory lol
You can use just any ties if the adjuster straps snapped and any 1cm webbing will work if you can sew
Tried to tell me it's real
Y I K E S
bruh
I’d agree it’s really a slick carrier and nothing beyond that build quality is fine. Granted if you have any issues with their customer service team will mail you a brand new one next day.
I’m just gonna run it slick under an LBV from now on
That a 10x12 plate?
Yes
Wide lad
@plush topaz
^
Im still chubby iv lost 23 pounds since January so some of that width is over artificial
What the hell lol
Homie even got the combo
Im 6’1” 237 pounds rn
@plush topaz what do you think wait to change size till im down another 20 pounds ?
Your frame is wide and your torso is tall.
So I don't know
But if you intend to lose weight then wait. I always say buying new clothes to suit weight gain is a form of quitting
36” waist pants to tight in the groin area but waist on 38 is to big
Even with a a glock 48 appendix 38” waist is big

Thick thigh problems
Size up and belt it down or get your shit tailored
I’m a 35” waist but I need 38” waist relaxed fit pants just to not hang up on my thighs
My dress pants look like shit then i do that
I need to get a proper leather shoulder holster and go for suspenders/braces
Take em to a tailor, get em altered
A good tailor will probably even account for your ccw if you tell them
Although having an excuse to get one of those shoulder holsters never hurts lol
Those things are classy

good job man
Baller moves
I needed to use the stretchy inserts to fit the new M7 Lancer mags lol
I caved and got the AXL placard adapter
Used to own a stich profi QD plate carrier in AU. Been searching the last couple weeks and damn. Is rough
WAS DCS too but that'd be easier if I wanted to settle
Old AU horde. Has shrunk by 2 PCs but retained most of my pouches for the SPC-1
Trust me, we all look like that the first time we found a surplus store
Me walking out of ammunation ready to attack fort zancudo (the tank instantly blows my adder up)
Lmfao i believe it. Yet my gear was issued to me. You dont even want to see the battle belt. I leave that shit in the barracks
Xperttheaf thug life
Peek gta content
Heheheh very much so indeedy
I agree with this
Heheh
Even if you’re not necessarily wide wouldn’t you want the extra coverage from larger plates if you’re taller
Your entire abdomen is exposed
not necessarily. even though i’m 6’4 i wear a medium because my chest isn’t wide enough to accommodate a large easily. but as long as the plate covers 90% of your vitals, it’s fine sizing wise
There are ways to work around that.
Yes
Anyone got straight blade recommendations?
does anyone know of a good alternative to the filbe hip belt? should i just get a TT alice frame and just giveup on the downeast plastic one
What are you using it for?
I have a benchmade SOCP dagger and love it
stabbing cutting
Benchmade SOCP is deff good for stabbing (allegedly)
The fucking thing idk how to spell fits in molle webbing too
looks like kiriko's knifes
Gonna lose that thing inside carcass
Luckily it has that huge ass ring
Ah yes, the last of its kind, ifak gen right before ucps were replaced
idek use my ifak 2 in OCP lol
took all the contents out and put it in my roll 1
Like I got both the Gen 1 in ucp and ocp, then Gen 2 in ocp, but no Gen 2 in ucp
So I'd say that's a nice rare find
I'd rock it
whats a good milsim backpack?
Depends on what you're trying to do
a milsim west 40hr event
Really would just need a 3 day pack then
I enjoyed my issued SATLs for 3 day packs; I would suggest going with something like the eblerstock g3
I'm quite a fan of my eberlestock gunslinger 2
dem floor floppers
@storm peak I need a new 80L ruck
That's a big ruck that's gna be pricey and obv to be packed heavy. I would lean towards mystery ranch for that as their nice frame is still somewhat comfy on a 90lb bag
Something like their jump mountain or cheaper 6500
Mystery ranch is overpriced imo
Especially in Canada
I have my eye on a pack from Poland but it's always sold out
They really are, but you're limited on things with wanting a 80l pack lol
In terms of offerings?
I have one of these
I got it because the grip fits my hand very well. I have the smaller ak47 folders.
Also didn't they just get bought out
By like yeti coolers or something
Felt cute might delete
Oop enjoy jumping every 2 weeks
Yeah if only ever other jump didn’t get scratched 😂
I don't know
All my jumps were scratched
I'm a paratrooper that never jumped lmao
Well then are you really a paratrooper?
Who are you with
Wym
I’m guessing 82nd from what I can see on your patch
Rather when did you graduate jump school because you look super fucking new
please for the love of god don’t try to tell “legs” you’re better than them because you are airborne
you’re antiquated at best, useless at worst
just being honest
I dont
Lol
Jesus Christ. Lol for context I work at ranger school but I also cover the drop zone in fryar as a medic
I covered some of the January jumps
Oh well thank you 👍
I was alr
Does that mean you are an RI or do you just work at 4th RTB as a medic?
Medic, RI’s don’t go to fryar
Are you an NCO?
Yup
I’m not normally part of airborne squad I had to fill in for some dudes I normally work back in Rogers
Oh shoot alr well I was thinking about going to Ranger School you got any insiders other then come prepared physically and knowing RTTs and patroling?
Well first get thru RAP week intact, double and triple check your 249 to reduce the risk of ND and getting a major minus. RTT’s aren’t a hard requirement as of 2 cycles ago
Ranger school land nav avoid the northern limit of the AO they can ding you for being on the old railroad tracks
I will say that Darby phase is the toughest just because it eliminates the most people, if you can get through patrols and stay awake and peer good you should be fine. I suggest you go when you have abit more experience under your belt and develop some maturity because it will count for a lot out there
Rog. whats a good indicator that I have the experience to attempt Ranger School? A JRTC rotation?
Oh and don’t be like a buddy of mine who got recycled because he didn’t double check his M4 after drawing from the arms room and came to Darby with an M4 w/o a firing pin
Apparently it was the armorers fault but it’s his fault for not doing his PCC/PCI
How tf does that even happen 😂
Shit happens
Indeed it does
Get some team leader experience, patrols will have you at leadership positions at random times and you will be graded heavily
That late? I was thinking about going as a joe.
You will literally be trying to herd sleep deprived dudes through an objective and you will get super frustrated
Im an 11B obv if you couldnt tell so do you think going as an nco is better?
Because going for e6 or even e7 is pretty tough without a tab
In the infantry world at least
One of my soldiers is going the cycle after next and the issue with him is he doesn’t have line experience so he’s learning this shit from the book not experience
He’s doing our unit internal pre ranger
I mean that could be a positive cuz the line often half ass or doesn’t even follow doctrine for patrols
Like area recon we just took are ORP by force and only sent 1 recon team and 1 S/O team.
They don’t look for whether you can follow doctrine but how well you handle yourself in that situation lol
You get major pluses for being creative too
Oh well thats interesting
What benefits do Major Pluses bring?
Other then bragging rights
Helps you when you board lol. Gives them less of a justification for getting rid of you
Also hopefully you get stuck with a good peer group
Unlike that poor dude from 25TH ID stuck with a bunch of regiment guys
He got peered just because he was the other
Dang
Like new Surplus
Eagle Industries MPCR chest rig Multicam DOM 03/12
Looking to recycle, anyone interested?
Any way to get a quality aor1/2 carrier without spending $500 on eBay?
Just gotta settle with an emersongear one then @empty sorrel
😭
le Gen 3
really? that’s stupid
@coarse laurel our new PL is a 12A like a year into his contract. he said he’s gonna push for those of us that came from the engineer unit to get any schools we want. imma try my fuckin hardest to get sapper tabbed
aint no better tab than a sapper tab
What the ah hahahaha. "wow"
you can barely see if
and it looks like it’s SOF shit
so not regular issue
im romanian
still probably special operations equipment
i mean it probably is lol. the GDP and budget of romania ain’t that big. i doubt they are supplying pvs31s to their regulars
oh yea
those are fake
bunch of plastuc and glass
the mic too
headset
only the mags are actual mags
no ammo in them ofc
it was my first time using nvg. It was very cool
It is isn't it. So fun
Even with those massive blemishes
Clean it
worth?
Spending over $800 on mid earpro just for the aesthetic is wild
Just buy repros at that point
People buying shit because of tarkov has gotten to be way more expensive than $800
Don't forget about those stupid ass offset angle grips
I really want to test out the 7s but I really don't want to dump $2k into a modern ptt
The 6s are really nice
Can confirm comtac fives are great
When I was lasted the range and it started to rain very lightly, I could hear the pitter-patter of the rain hitting the shotgun shells in the ground around me
Not sure tbh, I'm very satisfied with my 6s but I resorted to a 2010 Era ahead of its time but large ptt
The sixes are when they added the short range built-in radio right?
Ye, near field communication
With two preset freqs on the gov model, one for the civi model
It's kind of baller, but the range is kinda whack. Great for in vehicle but not really anything else
I can shoot 338 lapua all day with my 5's and it doesn't bother me
Nice
I use toiletpaper as earpods 🔥
Id still keep plugs lol
Wish 338 wasn't like $10 a shot lol
Makes my AP look reasonably priced
Free for me 😁
so I'm paying for it then eh
No the air force gets all your money
Hey at least that way it ends up back at Lockheed Martin
it's a permanent burn. Can't fix it
thats why it was like 70 bucks
for the tube or whole unit??
if you got an entire unit for $70 blems be damned
Ah rip
slide me one 🤑
got a pvs 7 front lens too. And it's a gen 3
also plossl objective lens
wrong channel for your scalping efforts.
Heres the pic of em
What do you guys think the necessary gear is that someone should have to accompany their main rifle without going into larp territory (I want to larp)
Also, does a backpack like this have potential for more “tactical” purposes. I originally bought this for bushcraft style camping but may use to it carry some gear. It’s 30L, metal frame inside. MOLLE webbing, hydration bladder compartment and access
I don't understand what this means.
Like what are you doing. Camping. Hunting. Hiking. Going to war with Iceland?
Basically, fucking around in the woods/just in case prepared citizen
Not trying to be something I'm not or some spec ops larper
So hiking.
I guess you could say that
what do I need to get from point A to point B 😂
I already have some rain gear and boots that I beat the piss out of so I got that area covered
All I carried on patrol in my small 18L assault pack is radio, pvs14, rifle night sight, rain gear, cold gear
But for the bag I was thinking, first aid stuff, water treatment, physical maps, hydration bladder, some sort of temporary shelter/sleeping gear, some sort of gps, maybe a radio? And then maybe add some pouches for magazines
I definitely need some better clothing. I usually just rough it. If weather is going from 40 degrees in morning to 75 while I'm hiking up a mountain, I'll just freeze my ass off
Water treatment?
Are you living in the woods lol
Or just taking a brisk Sunday walk
woods
I don't understand the purpose here sorry
I've used that lifestraw thing before. Small. Works well
basically spicy hiking/camping
Gotcha.
Might need more than a 30L. I know I would.
But if you're an efficient packer and have some light weight gear. Could work
I guess most of this stuff would intersect with my bushcraft kit, minus a rifle. I just want to get out into the woods and learn to use survival tools. I'm already really good at starting fires with nothing but a knife and a ferro rod. I would like to learn how to navigate better, find and purify water, set up temporary shelters
basic things I think a prepared citizen living in the sticks should know
You can use that backpack for anything
It’s nice as hell, I’m just trying to figure out how to set it up, what to pack it with
For “survival” 😂
High quality sleeping bag and a good tent would be a good start
No need to try it too hard
At first at least
Yes there are 4 hour long vids on YouTube where they basically make some sort of a yurt...
Ya I've watched to many dudes from Finland on youtube build log cabins with a 5 inch knife and a folding saw 😂
People get too wrapped up in thinking they need to buy every single peice of equipment that
*insert random special forces unit uses
That pack specifically falls into the midsize assault pack range.
Good enough for mild weather overnights, however amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.
If you are really down with that larp lifestyle you 100% NEED a proper 50-80L rucksack that you can comfortably hump for several miles with 40-50 pounds of shit excluding kit and rifle
Be it one of the surplus general issue spine destroyers or something along the lines of a mystery ranch OVERLOAD pack (sex), eberlestock, ect
Lifestraw is a grift product imo, sawyer squeeze is king
sounds like a satisfying way to excercise 😂
but ya, I should have gotten the bigger one but the original purpose of the bag was camping for 1-2 nights with minimalistic supplies and kit
@restive stratus
This is the pack I mainly use right now, its an airforce surplus LBT 9031a 45L 3DAP
The side and admin pouches bring it up to ~65/70L tho
i also have a Filbe which is a pretty uncomfy but serious hauler pack if need be
damn, that looks a lot smaller than 70L but those pouches definitely help
I've thought about getting pouches for my bag, I could probably add 20L at least
I got it for $100 new with tags because the US government is so good at spending money wisely
Its kinda a rare find tho
Is savvotta just using a framesheet or an actual aluminum/carbon frame
You dont nessasarially want to pack the hell out of an assault pack
I bought the aluminum frame insert
but the default was just a sheet
It is way harder to estimate pack volume than you might think, also some packs are just very inefficent about their storage space
Also some companies like *cough The North Face *cough fudge the numbers by including stretch pockets and stuff
You could add at least 2 of the large USGI sustainment pouches, use em to hold soft goods and rain gear or whatever and keep heavy loads right against the frame
true, that's a good idea
this bag is basically just one giant compartment, and it can really be filled to the brim
Tube with straps style bags are kinda a pain in the ass ngl, when its that small its not a huge deal
Ive been spoiled by full frontal opening packs for a few years tho
Not a fan? Sorry I don't understand your lingo I'm old
I mean if your gay the lifestraw seems right at home, gotta get on your knees and suck fluid out of a rigid shaft
The sawyer squeeze with a bunch of the 32fl bags is just a much better system
Thats all
North face is chinesium while savotta is made in finland
Ya the savotta bag is built like a tank in every aspect
Wonder what some of the higher end mystery ranch stuff is like. I have a mystery ranch as my daily backpack to carry my laptop and stuff in and it’s really nice
Im picking up a terraframe 65 that i scored for $200 in a min here so ill let you know lol
there are many north face criticism’s you can make, chinesium is not one
The northface recon is a bombproof pack
My father was a ski patroller and used one for 15 years dozens of times a season
Its still kicking too, my 2021 model is holding up flawlessly to similar abuse
Still made in sweatshops in china, Bangladesh etc
Some people don't care
Some do
It's an expensive brand and probably better quality than Nike etc. But still.
I will gladly profit physically from slave labor when i can get a waterproof ripstop backcountry ski/ 1DAP for $100
Ok literal chinesium is probably wrong since it's not something from alibaba
Did you dye it?
It doesn’t really look like ACU anymore or is it because of wear
Spray paint
Aye
Forest green rustoleum
Just dont paint parts with body contact unless you want stained clothes
mayb a dumb question but is it reflective under nv
Ive found no affect with stuff thats already nir compliant like this but for cheap chinese shit spray paint does help
At least under digital, ,cannot attest to analog performance
looks better than multicam imo
Multicam is nice, its just its status as fed camo that makes it an absolute no go
Every law enforcement agency, natl guard unit, military unit of every country in the world uses it
Huge friendly fire risk
i’m not full on of the boogaloo shtf in minecraft opinion
maybe because im not american
but it’s more that literally everyone uses it
it’s genuinely the gwot npc camo
Idk, im out in a litteral rainforest rn so where im at m81 woodalnd, dpm ranger green and marpat are king.
hawaiian/fred perry shirt era…
Im moving to idaho in a few weeks here tho and i might be able to still get away with my current getup
Idk, north idaho is pretty lush but nowhere near as dark as WA
I live in a hellhole nature wise
my country is literally just
green polder
thats it
Is it that same shit with the midwest where their “woods” is just flat plots of land with trees and grass
So pathetic
no lmao
worse
mfs will say dont cross the open field but then this shit goes on for 200 km
I can see the most prominent mountian in the world from one side of my city and across the sound i see another whole mountian range
Damn
Rip
Knew it was something like that
Hows the guns situation up there
Its a mixed bag for eu as far as i can tell
very regulated, marksman shooting and hunting only
hunting must be done on private land (which there is almost none of)
and only with shotguns
And here I am moving because my state government wont let me own an AR
Marksman shooting with bolt action rifles
Managed to get one right before the ban but that aint enough
I thought the ATF decided what was legal or not not the state
One of my neighbors actually owns a very nice Swiss K31
Atf gets final say federally but each state can elect to add further restrictions
Got to cycle the bolt a few times
Take away the atf and im ok with each state deciding how firearms legality should be handled
Dawg just move to the US
Hell NAh
Permanant injuction while it goes to supreme court
So banned but officially unenforced so basically legal
I’m better of going to Switzerland or somewhere like Slovenia
And the case isint going well in federal court for the government
Are gun shops still selling with the stock on or not
Yes many are
Regardless AR pistols are here tk stay its just a question of wether or not **legally you can attach a “brace” which is just s shitty stock
So stocks are banned fully, and the right to put a brace on there is contested
With braces you mean like the shitty thin non adjustable stocks right
The atf was trying some constructive intent nonsense wherre they were going to charge people who owned an AR pistol with a NFA violation for having an extra stock or brace laying around
You can still file an ATF form 1 to register a rifle as an SBR and you can then do whatever you want with it
But thats got a glaring problem being the registration and “tax” on it
Is the 200 dollars yearly or a one time payment
Once time, however it gives the right to do a warrentless search of your home to see if you still have it
Which is insane
And kinda never happens but give an inch take a mile
I understand your superstition towards law enforcement agencies regarding that
Due to past incidents
Can they enter your safe too
Or is it just the premises
If they have a warrant with evidence of a crime they have the right to enter it, either open it or it will be opened
But not during a warantless search
warrantless
Not an expert past that point
The lurker in the chat taking this conversation as legal advice
Did you just send something that immediately got deleted
I got a notif
someone probably got automodded I never saw a message
I had a big long shpeil about a small handful of the attrocities commited against the american people by federal law enforcement
Apparently it was spam
In response to this
I wouldnt exactly say that
Time will tell
From what ive seen theres no apparent drop in quality
I have the mystery ranch urban assualt 21 and I love it
i put it through heavy use (I gently set it in the passenger seat of my car everyday with a laptop in it)
i DESEPRATELY need a new ruck
i have a medium molle and that thing is fuckin terrible bruh
you want a filbe?
how many dollar
$100
Oh well, theres always a high end pack market. Somebody else will be chomping at the bit to take their place
Be it eberlestock, keifaru ect
is it multicam?
sick

Why not just get a set of comtacs if you're using em daily
I mean if you don't thrash them, they shouldnt break too easily
for most people sordins are gonna be the best values
and if you have money to spare then get comtac Vs
razors are pretty shit compared to the more expensive options
but for the 20-30$ they go for, they are very good
I paid about $500 US for mine

$300-500
Depends on which Gen of comtacs
I’ve seen beat up ones go for sub $300
It's already been used to trick. Pretty sad.
As in the video I saw it in was sad.
But like idk if it's the best camo either. Are there better ones
Also i really dont know how the whole geneva conventions thing about wearing enemy uniforms works when every single modern power has a varient of crye multicam
Even north korea for fucks sake
Which are the best camo patterns in your opinion tho.
I wouldn't want to be spotted if I could avoid it in an actual life and death situation
@deft pond
For high desert or actual desert then multicam is is the best objectively, tho DCU works ok
For mountianous and wet areas like oregon, washington, north idaho ect m81 is really nice, marpat is objectily better but less sexy
For gravel parking lots UCP and ABU are king
i got them for free at our FTX
assigned 7, ate maybe 4.5
they are super filling
im gonna keep them in my truck as emergency food
People tried telling me this was disgusting
They are outta their minds
I ate it cold and it was still pretty good
Lmao, i get them for $4-6 each from random military spouses on facebook marketplace
Oh god, people are still buying chicoms in 2024
I'm sure you do
That was shitty advice even in 2016
Surplus Taps are $30, airforce H harnesses are 20
Eagle h harness is like 40
Please dont buy chicoms
Yeah don't care
Got one crate of 2020 mfg and one of 2021 mfg for ~6 per mre
why not? its a cool historical piece of kit to go with my cool historical firearm
it was specifically designed for this weapon system
plus it was 8 bucks
Ok fair
Im talking about general use
Before there was a giant dump of GWOT stuff onto the suplus maket people were shilling hard for chicoms
If its for a sks then whatever
it feels durable enough for "real" use, but the lack of molle is obviously a problem
good for coyote hunting tho, its pretty low profile compared to my FLC
much more comfortable
I got some good chicoms
No no it’s not
They are at least $80
But they are very good I love my H harness
715 enjoyer aswell ?
Yeah)
nice
I have another their patch
Went a bit to shit with all the SMO stuff, but understandable in their case, sadly not as frequent videos tho
but he's quite provocative
I'd get their patches and some other, but 1) cant wear non issued patches at work unless they make sense ( country flag, blood type and stuff like that ) and 2) higher ups also know about them and i'd get fucked
wdym provocative ?
I can use what i want, i am not military or law enforce yet
does it actually fit the sks stripper clips? I've heard some people say it doesn't fit them nicely
They're spoiled
Like actually
Those MREs aren’t exactly tasty when cold, but definitely not inedible
There were people giving away their beef patties because they didn’t have time to heat it up lol
When heated they’re actually really good, like, better than a lot of dinners I’ve had at home
Our rangers have camps where they hunt the food
I also have an official FDF manual for field nourishment
Yes
Yeah
Saving these 😂😂
Translate for the win on.. well.. translation
Yea there is not too much text
Yeah I boiled mine
Got all the cosmoline off that way
Oh it’s cosmoline?
Yep
Open it up it should be thick and nasty
Yeah
Supposed to be
Idk which side is which tho lol

I can’t read the letters
I used to but now im not sure
H is probably
нефть
oil, petroleum, petrol, naphtha, mineral oil, rock-oil
I find it funny that the Russians would just dump oil onto their guns
Unless there’s a separate brush that I don’t know about
But petroleum is solvent...
Yeah
We didn’t put any oil on our guns when we cleaned them because the clp brings more carbon out
For my personal guns I have literally never cleaned them 
I cleaned my ar one single time and that was it
Wait what is this Russian Mickey Mouse lookin thing
Oh that’s sick
Or Soviet tbh
Ya know maybe if I would’ve looked back in the chat I would’ve gotten my answer 🤦♂️
Interesting
it came in these cleaning kits too
Isn't Naphtha like highly flamable.
Saaremaa (Fin: Saarenmaa) is one of their big islands
i wanted it for the sks larp
We call diesel nafta
Here it's usually lantern fuel.
Yeah
I would imagine.
Ground oil is the old meaning
Same!
Hmm
I'm not really sure lol
I might have to ask
The problem is it's over 2am here
All rational people are sleeping
shine a red light in their face and tap them with your foot
Back to this
An island in NATO lake
For sure
There's a Canadian poutine MRE
Heard that Jap/Koren ones are pretty good too.
Tho you better like rice xD
No doubt
Unless they include thst fermented soybean stuff lol

Bro, I need to take a break from this game. I was walking around in my yard and thought I found a Ledx
