@EDDSkitz id prefer full coverage.. im honestly thinking about getting another IOTV for cheap just for this purpose
I'm partial to crye and first spear stuff... CPC is nice e because of the support structure
But sounds like you're not trying to spend on a nice carrier?
Another spot where im torn; when i do get another nice carrier, id rather it only be for training days at the range and stuff, not necessarily the vest im wearing to go on a long run or roll around in the sand with
I mean, you wanna train in what you plan on fighting in... a good carrier will take the abuse
@EDDSkitz you mentioned crye, do you run a JPC?
Actually I'm due for an upgrade, running an old TAG full coverage carrier. I dont like the JPC.
I was looking at the first spear AAC, but they have been out of stock for a few months. Probably because they just got a military contract and are running production for that.
I've tried both the AAC and the crye CPC, I like both.
The JPC is a minimalist carrier though
im gonna poke at all the Crye gear again now
sooo many places are working with a 2 month lead time for new orders now
They are super top notch stuff if you have the cash... the only reason I was looking and waiting on the AAC is the buckles. Would've spent my trump bucks on it, but decided to wait and see if they came back in stock. Replaced my RMA plates with some level IV hoplite plates instead.
Thinking of a 10/22 as my first gun when I get state side, not really done much shooting except clays and a 22 would be cheap to learn the fundamentals right?
Absolutely
Where you coming from?
miliradians are superior
thought I’d let everyone know
Gettingnl tired of my shit falling appart when i need it, need suggestions for a decent pair of every day shoes or boots that will last more than a few months before the tread seperates from the rest of the shoe
I like the Merrill 8"... wears like a sneaker, tough like a boot
Ive got Danner boots, and hiking boots that last, Merrill also lasts...
I've got a pair of redwing blacksmith boots. They're not made for hiking but work well enough. The only downside seems to be they're a bit slick on smooth floors. Otherwise they're made to last years and years.
Plenty of other good boots out there though, I'd suggest watching some videos from Carl Murawski. They review a lot of boots and other clothes that are made to last for life.
Just tired of dropping 80$ ever coupple of months
Would much rather have a hiking type shoe than a boot but whatever will last im down for
Has anyone ever heard of Hazard 4 or their products
Yeah an $80 pair of boots won't last you. Hell a $150 pair of boots might last a year or two of regular walking on pavement
I wear red wings for work, only thi g I don't kill in 6 months
You don't really get into those 8-10 year boots until you hit 300 or more. Sometimes on sale
granted if they're for work they probably won't even last that long, depending on what you do
I'm a heavy industrial mechanic/electrician... I only get 3 years out of a pair of RW
There's only so much stress that leather and rubber can take after all
But yeah I'd definitely suggest looking at Carl Murawski's youtube channel. They've been in construction for a long time and know a good bit about clothes that last, and practical fashion
But still worth the $350
I work in IT at a grain mill, so I'm in a lot of different environments from an office to mills full of giant industrial machinery, so I found a happy balance with the redwing heritage blacksmith boot. It's not a workboot, but still durable enough to take life. At least so far, haven't had them too long.
Nice, I switched a while ago, on my third pair of the loggers... 3 years on each, and honestly the last time I just got a new pair because it had been 3 years
But I work in a chemical manufacturing facility, so I have to have steel toe, slip resistant, and electrical rated
I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and they're just starting to break in, walking around 8 miles a day. Still not the most comfortable thing but I've been told that because of the cork midsole and stiff leather, they'd be horrible at first and end up super comfortable
Yeah, all redwings are like that
Most good boots with natural materials from what I hear
I've heard it said that a bad shoe will be comfortable to start and uncomfortable after time, while a good shoe is uncomfortable to start but gets more comfortable over time. Then you've got custom stuff which is just always comfortable
but I'm not paying a thousand dollars for a pair of boots at my salary lol
