> @Crye_Salesman what are you using the chem lights for?
@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...

2020-05-03 22:55:00 UTC  

Still lost on my next decision.

2020-05-03 22:55:27 UTC  

I don’t know what PC I’d get, although I do know I probably need an upgrade.

2020-05-03 22:55:34 UTC  

I’m a broke boi too

2020-05-03 22:56:21 UTC  

@[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.

2020-05-03 22:57:29 UTC  

I don’t even have a cummerbund : (

2020-05-03 22:58:08 UTC  

Wat? Which PC is it? Mine has cumberbund and side plate pockets

2020-05-03 22:58:47 UTC  

I have the Sentry..

2020-05-03 22:59:36 UTC  

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.

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ What Budget are you looking at?

2020-05-03 23:01:40 UTC  

100-150

2020-05-03 23:03:41 UTC  

I was told medical pack would be priority though.

2020-05-03 23:09:38 UTC  

@[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.

2020-05-03 23:10:39 UTC  

I’ll probably run my medical stuff first

2020-05-03 23:11:22 UTC  

I will say that you can use friggin jansport for medical, but there isn’t an equivalent for plate carriers

2020-05-03 23:13:03 UTC  

But is a Jansport going to have organization for quick grab and go?

2020-05-03 23:13:22 UTC  

My condor shoulder straps are currently intact.

2020-05-03 23:14:29 UTC  

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.

2020-05-03 23:14:55 UTC  

@Crye_Salesman you see my.post about the BFG marker kit?

2020-05-03 23:16:52 UTC  

I’m gonna go ahead and probably get a medical backpack I guess.

2020-05-03 23:18:45 UTC  

Stock it however I can.

2020-05-03 23:21:16 UTC  

Gauze is generally cheap.

2020-05-03 23:21:26 UTC  

Meds are the hard part.

2020-05-03 23:21:39 UTC  

Because most meds useful for me to have are not OTC.

2020-05-03 23:25:01 UTC  

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

2020-05-03 23:27:51 UTC  

I already have medical supplies.

2020-05-03 23:27:56 UTC  

I have a decent start.

2020-05-03 23:28:23 UTC  

Just wanting a dedicated pack so I can have it all organized and have room for stuff.

2020-05-03 23:31:00 UTC  

Pro strat
Be at protest
Slap giant red cross on bag
Be less likely to be shot at by police

2020-05-03 23:31:24 UTC  

Lol more likely. They love executing EMTs

2020-05-03 23:32:21 UTC  

I guess even i have too much faith in American police

2020-05-03 23:32:32 UTC  

You do, sir.

2020-05-03 23:33:29 UTC  

New strat
Stand perfectly still. They're more likely to hit innocent bystanders than you

2020-05-03 23:33:52 UTC  

Be in a van on the interstate. They will shoot all the other cars.

2020-05-03 23:41:07 UTC  

So I'm looking around at large frame receiver sets and I think I've fallen in love with something

2020-05-03 23:41:16 UTC  

fuuuuuuck bolt catch roll pins

2020-05-03 23:42:06 UTC  

Lucky bastard
