it’s the “sunshine is a dumb retard” server
we do literally nothing but insult you
ok <@&559943777024737292>
But no seriously let me out of this newfag hellhole
ehhh good luck with that, took me like half a year mate
what about ALICE gear tho?
I’ve just recently developed a fetish for it I don’t know. Never gave it a try before because it was “the old stuff” when I was coming up
Built out a basic belt and harness loadout as a patrol kit
Going to add a medium pack with some custom stuff like hydration bladder pocket, but it seems pretty optimal
Especially with brent0331s flexseal trick
while it wont make anyone here take glances (afterall, the guys here considers the old gear as the bargain bin special...because they are), I am doing experiments on them and thus is mildly interested
For carrying a patrol/sustainment load without armor, I dunno if it gets a lot better. I own mystery ranch and shit like that but honestly, that web belt and y harness is so comf
have you considered the WAS kit?
Maybe a little bit battle-rattle-y
Not familiar with it
truth be told I much prefer the older H harness over the Y types
doesnt dig into the neck that much
now, Warrior Assault Systems made a belt kit based on the british type with improved yoke harness and stuffs, so if ya wanna do upgrades, that might be a decent pick
or, HSGI Slimgrip/Suregrip belts if you're into belt and harness system
brecon shit is gud
get a high back blast belt and a harness
The m1956 harness is cool but H harnesses don’t work as well for me in general, I think it’s a personal pref thing there
I have a ronin task force, it’s definitely my go to war configuration
What I do with the alice setup is have a “street legal” loadout. I use a pvs7 pouch instead of a holster, and depending on the area’s knife laws, can take the bayonet off easily
Hey at least you know what a 56 harness is
You know how many retards I've met that talk about their half asses ALICE setup and Vietnam in the same breath
Yeah, I mean, some understandable confusion given the similarities and cross compatibility and all that. But yep, Alice gear didn’t even exist until 72-73
Although the field pack was apparently not standard issue Vietnam web gear either, apparently it was bx surplus M1956 gear and some guys just picked it up
Lots of old FMs and TCs on archive.org, fun to peruse
I’m just doing Alice. I like muh 30 round magazine pouches.
Hrmph
Have a very shitty kit
Wikipedia shows OG MLCE with a field pack
Psssh not bad Pilgrim
>when the inside is more interesting than the front
Oooh I like the whisper style attachment
I might be looking for a source of Hypalon to improve it
Here’s my currently very rugged surplus kit
