just realized it's called a cross-tee
I think its called PVC cement
Talked with another friend who lives where I do and they think 6.5 might be the way to go for me
Do yourself a favor and buy PVC cutters, makes it easy af to cut
I normally just use a saw. But cutters are good if you plan on doing a lot
Having cut a lot of pvc, the cutters are definitely a good investment. They're cheap too.
10 bucks doesn't sound too bad for cutters
@Crye_Salesman what are you using the chem lights for?
This isn’t something I typically do, but I’m lost. I don’t normally ask for help because I know quite a bit about gear. But I’m trying to decide whether I should invest into a better PC (I’m running Condor) or get my medical backpack squared away.

@Ballsdini
Marking doorways, rooms that are cleared or not, casualty marking, there’s a variety of uses depending on your units SOPs.
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I suspect that's what they're for but there are other applications that require large chem lights.
Blue Force Gear makes a mag-sized small chem light dispenser that holds a bunch of tiny ones. You just flick them off the top like unloading a mag. Much more compact, lighter, can carry way more, and aren't nearly as conspicuous. Let me find the link...
Still lost on my next decision.
I don’t know what PC I’d get, although I do know I probably need an upgrade.
I’m a broke boi too
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I have a Condor PC as well. The issue with it is basically shitty stitching. I re-stitched a bunch of it myself and its solid AF. Been running it for over a year with no issue. Holds a lot of gear too.
I'd get the med bag sorted before worrying about redoing the whole rig.
I don’t even have a cummerbund : (
Wat? Which PC is it? Mine has cumberbund and side plate pockets
I have the Sentry..
Zoomer, chemlights have a variety of functions within the military. From marking people, to locations, or even setting up a sleeping perimeter. We use chemlights around the sleep area so vics don't run over us at night.
100-150
I was told medical pack would be priority though.
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I'm not telling you what to do with your gear, brother. Just tossing it out there that Condors are totally serviceable if you pay some attention to them and qualified people with medical kits are always in short supply.
I’ll probably run my medical stuff first
I will say that you can use friggin jansport for medical, but there isn’t an equivalent for plate carriers
But is a Jansport going to have organization for quick grab and go?
My condor shoulder straps are currently intact.
For medical? No. For math class and then recess? Yes.
I got no advice on med bags, just that those are in short supply in every group.
@Crye_Salesman you see my.post about the BFG marker kit?
I’m gonna go ahead and probably get a medical backpack I guess.
Stock it however I can.
Gauze is generally cheap.
Meds are the hard part.
Because most meds useful for me to have are not OTC.
I'd say a medkit should be first priority. It's much more likely you'll need one over a pc. The only real use for a pc I see today is if you're overtly protesting something. Otherwise it's an end of the world prep item
I already have medical supplies.
I have a decent start.
Just wanting a dedicated pack so I can have it all organized and have room for stuff.
Pro strat
Be at protest
Slap giant red cross on bag
Be less likely to be shot at by police
Lol more likely. They love executing EMTs
