The Things They /k/arried

Portable hard drive? For what computer? The one you're not carrying?

>>30496810
The one I got has ports for a standard USB, Android Phones, and a smaller USB found on many digital cameras and smaller electronics.

Allows carrying around entertainmemt or any digital info I need around.

>If you had to make a packing list for combat, what would you include?

Extra ammo
Extra grenades
Water

>>30496810
Well he left out what the context of the list was for. Depending on the METTC you could in essence be digital capable. even if not at the present case but where Intel would be organized like a TOC or TAC in a reconnaissance mission.

>>30496857
To combat you only carry essentials. Extra things weigh more, make noise, and give the enemy more material aid or intel if captured or killed.

>food
Body needs fuel.

>>30496902
You don't waste time and weight with food

>>30496897
>essentials
Okay tell that too the 120+pound rucksack we carry. The definition of essential has been so misconstrued by fucking officers and NCO's that's a useless fucking word now

>>30496917
>we

>>30496908
Shut the fuck up please. You clearly never left a wire if you don't realise why you always have bullets beans and bandaids. Ammo water food medical bare minimums.

>>30496917
Do I have to break down the difference between combat loads and subsistence loads Barney style?

>>30496928
Yes, I'm sure you know more than me, I only have experience of it after all. I'm sure you're an internet expert.

>What is a combat load vs marching load

>>30496932
Don't you fucking even tell me there wasn't a peanut butter, Ranger bar, or m&m''s stuffed somewhere in your kit. Implying you even know the difference between a doctrinal combat load and an actual I'm leaving the wire set up.

>>30496857
consider a micro SD instead. 128GB micro SDs are cheap (Mixza 128GB for $32) and 256GB Samsungs exist ($250 though). Frigging pinky fingernail sized and adapters for everything are common.
another option is mSATA SSD with USB adapter. A little larger than a flash drive, smaller than external HDD, but SSDs are much more durable than HDDs.

>>30496932
The thread is in reference to a marching load he even asked about digital cameras . It is implied what was carried in a marching load

>>30496956
Jesus Christ you fat fuck, I can honestly say I didn't stuff candy in every corner of my ruck.

>clicks on pictures of candy

>>30496987
>peanut butter is candy
Just turn off the computer dan.

OP here. Thread is in reference to both Combat-Marching loads. Combat was only in the specific "packing list for combat" question.

For combat I was wondering what helpful bits others include or even the specific brands/types you guys use in the 3b's (bullets, beans, and bandages) is.

I've rucked days with a 240
