Hill People Gear butt pack continues to be my best friend on short hikes. Currently trying to figure out if its worth the weight on a longer range trip tho.

We need a new yorker version of this called "overthrow king cuomo" where we are only allowed to have citizens with SAFE 5 round magazine bolt action rifles against NYPD team which has fucking m240s and 81mm mortars and what not.


Actually sounds really fucking fun...

Any good ways to carry 12 gauge shells?

Does airsoft make the mean man angry. Gear is gear, get over it. We're not talking about best face protection or what company to order bbs from, we're discussing gear. Most of us own real guns. Either way it's military technology that is the focus, and that falls well within the purview of the board. So get over yourself. It's embarrassing.

>>32765212

You can pay a pile of money for a opscor, MTEK or wendy. Or you can try to find a protec.
I've had an order on protec's website since 2013 and they refuse to respond to any emails. I found one in tan in the back of a local shop and just rattle canned it.

Its a Protec high cut (Cant remember if its alpha or bravo) in size medium. It started its life in tan but was assaulted by a krylon can which turned it green.

For the shroud im using a wilcox L4 with lanyard. Mount is USGI Rhino ~2006 and a jarm setup. Currently I swapped to the newer design of rhino mount from 2015 and that helped significantly. Find a surplus store near a base, I paid ~$30 for jarm and rhino mount. Wilcox mount is nice and locks up tight and I really like the lanyard setup.

If you get the protec I suggest you get a dremel and take down the screws on the front most strap retention, they sort of poke the padding out a bit and I was paranoid that they were going to Frankenstein me.

As a whole I like the helmet but I will be switching to ballistic rated MTEK helmet whenever I get around to it.

My (((one day))) kit. Improvements/adjustments since the photo was taken were fully swapping out MOLLE/MALICE clips for ALICE clips to attach pouches, swapping rubber bands out for blousing bands (no particular reason for changing them except for better texture on the hands), adding a small lamp to the front of the chestrig, and swapping the medical pouch out for a GI style pouch (contents of pouch unchanged). Very happy with the overall layout which hasn't dramatically changed in the last two years and I don't expect any major adjustments.

Just some of the stuff I have, the bag on the left is my TCCC bag from when I was in. Lots of good stuff, but I do need to update my IFAK pouch does anyone have idea's on something slim that can sit on the side of a Shellback banshee plate carrier?

Im considering the High Speed Gear Dump pouch

Problem is the green color they have is Olive Drab. My kit is ranger green, does anyone have this pouch and have this same problem? I know its mesh so its not as noticeable.

Slim down your stuff for the IFAK. Masscal and triage stuff should go in your assault pack.
You using a new Banshee or old Banshee?
Depending on how deep your torso is, you may like the Fatboy pouch. Just Google that and you will find it. Count the exposed MOLLE rows and see if it will fit. I prefer to mount my IFAK on my belt, but I see that you have been around, so you do you.

>>32777137
THIS is advice I should consider highly desu.

>>32777160
I thought about addressing the secondary ruck they you call an IFAK, but your tenancy toward exuberance is fine with me. If you want to carry that much stuff, then just be sure to share generously and try to fall on the opposite side.

>>32777192
IRL i'm a very quiet, low energy person. I'm nothing like my persona here. I prefer slim fitting and dull colors. The reason I'm with this pouch is because he sent it to me for free by accident and let me keep it. I'd much prefer While I don't mind carrying infinity pounds, I'd prefer to keep it tight and close to me. I carry 5 mags for the same purpose. Yes I have EMT and CLS training and know how to use it all but I don't think its wise to carry an entire hospital with me on my PC when I can leave most of it in my AP.

#blabbering sorry. Please give me good ideas to cut down on and what pouch should really be using and what not.

>>32775234
>Vomits externally

>>32776952
Thanks, it does. There's about an 1 1/4 inch difference, might have to get an additional rig. That "sucks".

>>32777235
Alright.
One pack combat gauze, one (!) ETB, two compressed gauze, two chest seals, one TQ, 1 pair gloves (large is best, as it may not be you who wears them), one NPA, one chest dart if both you and the people around you know how to use it, one pair sheers, one roll of two or three inch cloth tape, one sharpie, any relevant medical information (medically relevant allergies, chronic conditions, prescriptions), and one roll of ACE wrap if space permits. All of this should fit in an issued IFAK pouch with the sled or smaller container. I may have forgotten something and I am not going to get up to check.

Booboo nonsense, bitch mints, burn treatments, splints, lucky charms, MRE components, lighters, and last smokes do not go in an IFAK.

>>32777137

I will have to look into that one, and yes the stuff or my IFAK will be only the basics to keep it slim...
As for all the triage stuff is in that TCCC leg bag that attaches to my belt.

>>32776952
Nvm, I just saw the "1 part

>>32777400
>>32777489
Sorry to get your hopes up :^(
glad my shit ain't terribly out of spec though

People will tell you that booboo shit doesnt belong in an IFAK. They are generally right, but me personally, I keep a small pack of shit in there. Doesnt take up any space, doesnt get in the way. Does it belong in the pack? Yeah it does, and maps dont belong in my dump pouch and smokes dont belong in my grenade pouch. The reality is ive been mid patrol plenty of times and reached in and got an advil or two. (inb4 OMG U SHOULDNT BE POPPIN ADVIL ON PATROLLLLS)

>>32777402
Brings up great points. But I urge you to take your training and your future missions into consideration. Theres a million ways to skin a cat. For example, anon says one TQ but two chest seals. Id rather have two TQ and one chest seal. Also If im deployed I want burn dressing. If im stateside, I take it out.


Everyone's different, >>32777402 disagrees with me, and thats okay. Personally I say some comfort items are okay. Its an individual first aid kit. Remember what first aid is. It means booboo too sometimes. The reality is an IFAK for combat operations is a LOT different than an IFAK for camping and innawoods larping. So take a look at what your use of it is. If your a LEO and your using it as a response to an active shooter, yeah drop the booboo shit big time. If your larping at nuggetfest, it might help to keep some vagisil in there.

>>32777522
>People will tell you that booboo shit doesnt belong in an IFAK. They are generally right
I disagree too. Think about it. Are you more likely to catch a bullet, or suffer a booboo?

I've had to use my IFAK for cuts and scrapes multiple times. My trauma stuff never.

>>32777522
Everything depends on METT-TC, of course. I get about 43 kinds of pissed off when I rip into an IFAK and find a layer of utter BS before I can get to work.

I specify 1 TQ in the IFAK because I always carry one on a tear away on my PC and one more in a calf pocket.

>>32777572
>>32777522
As somebody who has used the trauma stuff, I'll say that carrying "boo boo" stuff is fine, but it shouldn't be mixed into a dedicated IFAK/trauma kit. Assume that your IQ is going to drop to room temperate in a real emergency and set your dumber self up for success by having an organized, accessible trauma kit. The last thing you need is a spilled cluster fun of medical stuff going everywhere. Aside from that, loading nominal stuff in a immediate care kit takes away space from more trauma supplies, and you can never have too much gauze or occlusive seals.

Carry a separated "booboo"/delayed aid kit for your pills, antibiotics, moleskin, tweezers, salt/sugar, and other non-immigrate life threatening injury items.

>>32777621
I totally get ya man. Just givin the guy some other options and ideas. Im with you, typically people overdo the comfort items.

>>32777657
Again we can agree to disagree. Its so easy to overdo the booboo type stuff, so I understand why most say shy away from it. But ive used trauma stuff too. And everyone ive worked on keeps Combat Pill Packs on them, band aids, and even cigs at time (Which is something I wouldnt recommend) So we can agree on that.

I really think some of the milfags/emtfags/whatever are bringing great knowledge to the ifak talks. However its maybe important to remember 90% of this board will be conducting operations innawoods and innadeserst in a first world country, usually larping, or nuggetfesting, or ranging.

The point is these most of these guys are better served with a few advil, than a neddle d or fast one. Now if they are going for a 'Military simulation' kit or a prepper stfh ww3 simulation kit then sure build it EXACTLY like a military one.

Again I agree with most of what your saying, and im totally with you, people pack too much shit in them. Just a friendly reminder the infantry guys here already know what they need in the ifak and arent coming to the chan for advise on what to pack for their next raid.

>>32777732
Emergency trauma bandage IIRC, its been a while since I've done CLS.

Its gauze with quik clot that coagulates blood. Dummied down, in execution you poke it into holes in the body to help soak up blood. usually torso since you can't TQ the torso.

>>32776326
put those other pouches on it

>>32777785
You are conflating combat gauze and an Emergency Trauma Bandage, which are sometimes called Israeli Bandages. They are used to control bleeding that does not require/cannot be managed with a TQ. They are generally placed over a packed wound to keep other interventions in place. There are larger versions designed to be dampened with saline solution and placed over protruding organs resulting from abdominal wounds.

I get what people are saying about general first aid as opposed to serious trauma tools. I am not saying not to carry first aid gear. I am saying that it should not be in an IFAK. Maybe I should start calling IFAKs blow out kits for the sake of clarity.
I keep a small case of field meds in my left thigh pocket, and a glasses case with band aids, butterfly closures, Neosporin, tweezers, a tick key, afterbite, and other assorted oddments. That usually lives in a mag pouch on whatever pack I am carrying.

>>32778022
Oh shit Ive only ever heard them called Israeli bandages or pressure bandages. I guess you learn something every day.

And why so much medical shit, I never carried anything more than the IFAK contents and maybe some moleskin and hydro from my wisdom teeth surgery. Were you a medic?

>>32778022

when you get shot in the chest air can enter into your chest and cause your lung to collapse you seal it with a chest seal that only allows air to escape and you put a decompression needle in that has a valve to release the pressure inside the chest

Yeah never heard of it. I did combat first aid when I was in, and learned about how to apply tourniquets (we were taught to apply as high up on the limb as possible), treat airway injuries, and treat sucking chest wounds. That's realistically all you're going to be able to do without an actual medic's kit.

I also have a riggers belt I need to turn into a battle belt. Right now I only have the outer belt, but will get the inner one soon. But, should I bother getting a full war belt or just a few mag pouches and dump pouch to throw on the outer belt?

Is gauze just for stuffing into wounds? I can't remember but I think that was the main use

p much solid tips here, also these are sam splints, very handy to have and easily fit into the back of your assault pack to act as cushioning for your spine. Another thing seldom mentioned is making a makeshift casualty sled out of a portable beer-can sized ripstop bivvy, incase you have a casualty so fucked up that you cannot fireman carry them or you need to keep their extremities/spine as flat as possible and distribute weight

but to add onto chest decompression needles, it's pretty easy to fuck up and i typically don't suggest trying it to someone who's never done it before, however having the tools to handle something in a shit situation that is going south is better than not having shit at all

>>32779832
>Is gauze just for stuffing into wounds?
for the most part yes. This is a very vague answer though.

>I know how to use most of that list (except the needle)
learn, i got lucky and was taught by three trauma nurses on a legit dummy chest.
But the other thing about the IFAK is that if you're not conscious to use it, at least have the tools for someone who knows how to use them.

>>32779832
>What's the benefit in 3 different tourniquets?
forgot to answer this. "two is one and one is none"

Id rather carry three and only need one then need three for some reason and only have one. You can treat a bit of trauma just by stopping arterial blood flow. Also learn the different types of bleeds: Capillary, Venous, Arterial

>>32779900
>But the other thing about the IFAK is that if you're not conscious to use it, at least have the tools for someone who knows how to use them
Yeah that's why I really only plan on packing what I know in/around the IFAK, or things that are self explanatory (Celox).
>Israel bandage
>Gauze
>Compression bandage
>Celox
>NPA
>Tourniquet x2
>Sucking chest wound seal
>Trauma shears

All other personal medical stuff like Band-aids, ibuprofen, panadol/codeine, tweezers, alco-wipes, Antiseptic wipes will be kept in a separate container in my day pack, as it really doesn't belong in the IFAK. I'll probably keep a splint in my day pack too.

>>32780061

for anti-septic it's also economical to carry a quality flask of grain alcohol to flush debris out of gashes and the like, plus it takes the edge off so it's multi-use

Self-shilling here, but I'm going to Fort Bragg's surplus shops next week. They stock basically any Army USGI gear you can think of for pretty cheap, along with a grab bag of used aftermarket gear sold by soldiers. Helmets, armor, mags, FLCs, LBE, uniforms, whatever.

If enough people are interested in giving me a shopping list, I've got a scheme in mind to make everybody happy.

>>32782687
Im stationed at Ft. Hood, so don't need anything.

Buuuuuut, can you check the prices on ACHs? I have an extra I need to get rid of, I ended up finding my issued ACH.

But why 3 different kinds instead of 3 of the same? The SWAT-T kind of makes sense cause it can double as a mediocre pressure bandage but I don't get why you have a RATS in there.

also i'm really tempted to buy some TX2 tourniquets, apparently this is the new hot shit in CAG.

just got a banshee. what plates should i get. I was looking at the ar500 advanced shooters cut lvl 3 plates with the multi curve. do i need a curved plate for the back?

>>32786155
>Blue tape on camelbak handle

I havent seen that in a while. Who were you with?

>>32786932
Single curve fits my back better than the multi, but spinal curvature varies a lot between people. I suggest tracking down plates to test out or looking into the return policy of wherever you are getting you plates.

>>32786932

whats the point of that?

t. neverserved

>>32787003
Platoon/squad markings. Sometimes you will also see small indicators for prior heat or cold injuries. If you ever find surplus duffles or rucks, you will likely find tape residue on handles and straps.

>>32787003
In basic training (or OSUT if you were an MOS that mattered) it was to separate the training platoons within a company. So all the guys from 1st PLT had red tape, all from 2nd had blue, 3rd had green and so on. You can also barely see the name stenciled on the camelbak which was another basic training thing.

Although the tape is still there. Whether by design or happenstance impressed he didnt take it off or it didnt fall off through regular field use.

So I noticed you guys don't use admin pouches. What's the deal with that?!

Not really used for anything besides holding markers or other small shit. I used to use one during land nav to carry maps but you were at the mercy of the map cause hlaf the time it didnt fit.

So it became a panel to attach pouches.

All appear to have dedicated admin/map pouches. That is to say nothing of all the with DC3R or whatever canned rigs with GP pouches.

>>32787055
ITAR you aren't even allowed to let foreigners LOOK through gen 3 night vision.

>>32787158
Actually, all I see is GP pouches except for >>32786155

Admin pouches go on your upper chest, anon. It's the rules. I didn't make them, so don't cry to me about it.

>>32787190
Huh. Well ok then. I guess I'll be moving my stuff into a location that inhibits use of my three mags on the front of my PC and snags when I transition shoulder to shoulder. Do you have a solution for guys with chest rigs that will not accommodate mounting a pouch over the sternum?

>>32786997
whats wrong with ar500? I cant afford 400$ of plates so it seemed like a good option.

>>32787297
The lie about their rating the plates wont stop 5.56 out of a 20 inch AR.

they are constantly having to recall their plates. The plates are twice as heavy as ceramics. The small coating separates from the plate when it takes a hit and it could separate completely and you could have spall shoot up into your face and throat.

I own Ar500 armor, i am also a poorfag, i made a mistake not waiting until i could afford ceramics.

>>32787064
Don't need it. I used to wear an admin pouch when I was still in the military, but it held some specific stuff that I just don't use as a civilian.

Same reason I have a lot of gear changed up from when I was active duty. Different requirements for what needed to be carried and the context.

I still carry a mini green notebook, but it goes in my back pocket, not into a piece of dedicated kit.

Yes. I found this. Most people have Velcro areas on their PC. Hook tape on the back is to attach. Pretty good, right?

>>32787406
>could have spall shoot up into your face and throat.
Or into the guy next to you. I wouldn't operate with somebody using those if I had a choice.

there's four versions, this is the V1

>>32787288
he's not wrong
by and large all the "admin" pouches on the market were intended for wear on the sternum of the plate carrier. in my experience they don't impede mag access as much as you suggest.

some alternatives:
put admin stuff in a small GP pouch on your cummerbund or something
put admin stuff in your pants pockets

>>32788055
I am engaging in a bit of low-key shitposting. I keep both maps and cheater cards in my condor (joke goes here) map pouch, which I wear on the left side of my cummerbund. They only people I see running around with a campaign desk on their chest are PLs and PSGs who dislike putting things in their pockets.

Anyone here have experience with the XGO Phase 1 baselayers? I saw a post by Kyle Defoor about his and am thinking about getting some for myself.

Hey Baofeng owning fags, I need help with mine

Every time I turn it on, all noise is distorted with high scratchiness, even the beeps the radio makes. When I turn it up high, I can hear the sound through the scratching, but when it's at low volume, all sound is replaced by the scratchy noise.

I have no fucking clue why that is. It started when I was trying to make it work with consumer grade walkie talkies, and it got some bad feedback I think. Now it starts and stops randomly.

I have a small built in admin pouch that's in my PC. I also keep admin shit in the claymore pouch and a dedicated admin pouch on the molle inside my assault pack.

>>32769560
It'll kill someone if you stab someone in the right spot or open up their throat. It's not very utilitarian otherwise, but it's also compact and light and you can just stick it behind a mag pouch or something.

>>32779832
Not him obviously, but you can use all those for different things/reasons. The cat is just really good for quickly getting on a limb, the rats can be applied to a limb of any size (children, smaller framed women, manlets, dogs, etc) and is very compact which is why a lot of people have them in their EDC, and the swat can be used on limbs but more importantly it can be used to apply pressure to dressings on the abdomen. Each one has its pros and cons, so just get a few of each imo.

To clarify: I want something with modular options and MOLLE webbing. This is gonna be my, hiking, backpacking, BOB, HD rig.

Budget is around 150-190 for the rig itself. I have an issued Eagle Industries one but the price is too much for something that isn't being issued anymore.

Good thing about the SOE rig is you can always sell them for what you payed for the rig if you have a getoffthex account.
