do people care if you dress full tactical while out on the trails

Again? Thete is a thread for this.

>>921157
it's fun to pretend, but pretending to be an operator when you're an adult isn't the sign of a well-adjusted individual.

so, I'm not so sure that people "care" per se, but they definitely think you're a joke.

You clearly want to, so do it already and stop creating these stupid threads or move >>>/k/ where they will circle jerk with you about the advantages of tactical cloth.

>>921193
actually, tactical cloth is great. the fire resistant desert uniforms are awesome, I still have like 10 of them.

if you have tacticool gear yea wear it. it's free. but if you never got issued it, just buy the civilian shit.

I hike in my old army gear all the time. but I would never buy that crap over lightweight hiking gear now.

>>921227
>>921165
this, I lolwut everytime I see these people, they're easy to spot over the guys from the nearby base who are out doing PT

>>921157

Yes because you're a fucking cosplayer faggot.

Why the fuck would you dress like that outside of the airsoft convention you mongrel.

>>921165

Operators irl always dress civilian when they can.

They usually buy high end mountaineering and outdoors clothing, not the tactifudd shit.

>>921363
sort of. I was no delta cia special squirrel, but I have a tab or two. once you get in a nice unit they order shit for you. you don't get to exactly pick it out of skymall, but you get some say.

I literally have 5 pairs of unused s2v boots in my closet.

but yea, we didn't wear the issue shit, but some of the issue stuff is pretty nice for hiking/backpacking.

>>921362
>Yes because you're a fucking cosplayer faggot.

I wanna see a bunch of unhinged full tac nuts stalk a LARP crew innawoods

>>921388
I actually do it all the time. I am the sapper that gets super mad when drunk, I post here regularly.

one of my favorite innawoods pastimes is sneaking/observing morons. I am a fat drunk now, but I can still sapper.

>>921157
Former 18f here. Lost leg in kunar so I'm out now. Don't be that guy. We wear ll bean, Eddie Bauer , rei shit usually. These guys wearing 511 shit stateside look like clowns. I went on missions in cargo shorts and tank tops.

back to the intent of the thread though, if you have military gear it is ok to use, but if you buy it you are a faggot.

My point exactly when I'm saying top operators or ANY professional for that matter doesnt wear tactifudd shit unless they're forced to.

The "tactical" market is absolute cancer and needs to die

>>921443
that was my point. I wasn't secret squirrel level, but our incompetent supply seargeant got us 2 pairs of 300 dollar boots. year. and fishing shirts. and wool socks. and prototype switch blades. I have the sog that the new kershaws are based from.

They zap us in my country, and I'm incredibly afraid of it, i've heard its the worst kind of pain.

>>921438
Also I was never lucky enough to get a 4 wheeler and they wouldn't let me order your wife as a ride. Name drops are only preference. Just saying I'd rather wear a button up and Merrill shoes. I look like a one legged dad. You wouldn't know I'm packing

>>921459
it was super light. it had the sog logo embeded, but itwas a prototype. I have mine to my dad, I thought it was way too light to carry.

aa few months ago I needd gas. I tried to pawn my 2006 sapper issue gerber switchblade and the moron hick offered me 5 dollars. I showed him the 30sv stamp but he insisted 5 bucks.

I hitchhiked.

>>921462
No not me. Depends on what level sere.

It's basically boxer briefs and a Kevlar diaper thing you wear. I only wore it in the truck. I wore it bc we had a lot of ieds. Glad I did bc it saved my dick

the fire resistant gear is lighter. I have a duffel bag full of it still. if you have military gear you mighy as well use it.

also, I truly hope ifind each and every one of you couch cowboys in a shtf scenario. I am not sapper fit anymore, but I bet I can still do the drills that matter.

Is this type of thing more common in the south? I live in the PNW and I don't think I've ever run across somebody all geared out in tactical shit before. And yes, I do go out.

>>do people care if you dress full tactical while out on the trails

Nobody cares but people will think you're a clown and a poser.

Yes, you look like a fucking loser

>>921392
Former 18b, I like the 511 pants. They're comfy, inexpensive, have pockets, and hold up nicely.

>>922420
I have 511 gear from 2010ish that I love. I have a rush 72 that has held up very nicely. but I was in academy 2 days ago and I saw they had a rush 72, but it was cheap as fug. like super shitty cordura, ykk #4s instead of 2s, and it didn't even feel waterproofrd.

perhaps this is just anecdotal, but it seems like 511 is slipping in quality.

also, almost every 18 I ever met was a crybaby faggot. one time we had to stop and change the tire for some sf morons. they were so fucking high speed they didn't bring a fucking spare tire. another time we cleared to a super secritsquirrel sf base to get these morons supplies after the last 2 missions got utterly destroyed, and these roided sf faggits refused to let us eat their fucking chilli mac

I have almost no respect for 18s. I am sure many 18s are good people, but all the ones I worked with were ate the fuck up. the most pro soldiers I ever worked with was the 75th. and the eod dicks.

lol 400 pounds of hme? call it in as a 155 so we don't have to wake up eod.

>>922428
> they were so fucking high speed they didn't bring a fucking spare tire
kek

>>922441
bruh. you have no clue until you actually do missions with some of these morons.

now I did love some sf guys but most of them were lone wolf 4wheeler guys doing tiny base security. but when you put 20 roided morons together shit gets dumb real quick.

"Is he gonna hurt us or something?"

"Wait he doesn't have a gun"

"Is he just LARPing?"

I wear the most embarrassing camo jackets and backpacks without shame, but I do select trails that are fairly desolate and lonely.

Any resource manager in the military can use military credit cards to buy civilian gear. When I retired the limit was $2500 per purchase, but you can split up orders. You aren't limited to the Supply system and GSA catalogs.

Fucking GSA, I have to deal with that shit at the DoI. It's such a god damn pain in the ass to find the things you need. It takes 30 seconds on amazon to find what it takes 20 minutes to find on GSA, and then you have to make sure that they don't have a ridiculously high minimum order, and then sometimes you have to wait 6 weeks to get it.

if you have the camo dress because of other reasons of course you can hike in it. not saying better quality technical clothing does not beat cheap milsurp shit all the way to purgatory.
