Not an assault pack but pattern 82 rucks are pretty decent for 60$. Smells bad though.

Aesthetics/nostalgia/memes aside, is there a reason to use military surplus over purpose made civilian equipment?

>Flecktarn uniform and backpack
>Circa early 2000s US boots
>FN49
How'd I do?

$$$$

Cheapness mostly.

Not at all. Surp is actually going up. It's still sturdy though. That's was the whole idea behind it

Genuine US military surplus coffin. Huge bargain compared to civilian-made stuff, good to have one around so your family doesn't get fleeced by Big Funeral you have a "cleaning accident".

Honestly I don't see why more people do a 3 year infantry tour after HS.

I have some pretty decent boots, combat pants, ocp's for days, ww gear, magazines, so many MREs...

Good thing they don't, have a look at countries with conscription, the quality of the army plummets when every fucking 18 year old is taken in and not shown the door.

that just looks uncomfortable

Just get a short double barrel and makarov

Not really no. My last pack was much worse, surplus rucks frames are top tier when rucking lots of shit if you dont want to shell out for an expensive ruck

what round is the FN49 chambered in?

None, really. There was a point at which surplus items were cheap and widely available enough that they were a good deal all around. Now, more than 25 years on from the end of the Cold War, that's really just not true anymore. If you don't believe me, try going down to your local "Army/Navy store" and seeing how much of their stock is really surplus items anymore as opposed to how much is Rothco, 5.11, and Timberland. And then, of course, there's the matter of what's happened to milsurp firearm prices. The days when you could pick a cheap M1 carbine out of the bargain bin of your LGS for a song and a dance and be all set are long gone and aren't coming back.

The truth is that these days, you'd be better off buying some nice civilian-made gear for almost everything. Maybe there are a couple of exceptions, but not many. There are a lot of reasons for this. Most of the Cold War-era surplus has been soaked up by the market in the years since it ended. A lot of more recently-produced military equipment was beat to shit in Iraq and Afghanistan and not replaced under Obama, making a smaller pool of stuff that can be released to the surplus market. A lot of the stuff that does end up getting surplused out is taken by police departments and other government agencies as they've become more militarized. And some militaries worldwide have decided to release less stuff to the civilian market for political reasons.

So basically, for most stuff, don't bother.

Lol

It can be cheap and maybe the civilian stuff doesn't fulfill a certain need you have like durability.
And sometimes surplus is just pretty good all-round.
Results will vary but that's why you don't just blindly buy surplus unless aesthetics, memes or nostalgia make you do otherwise.

When you steal from the corps you steal from tax payers. I think you forget who pays the fucking federal employees paychecks. Military personnel are all leeches.

You SHTF fags focus too much on gear. Learn a skill that will be far more useful than some surplus items

Ok glad I’m a paramedic, now shut the fuck up and let me larp in the woods.

Wtf is that?

Go away 1sgt

back packs, patrol packs, gear bags, storage boxes, containers & crates, ammo boxes, tarps, tents, traps, sleep systems, canteens, cook sets,
mainly that kind of stuff

what is the best modern combat boot? i have danners that are great but they are goretexed out and are too hot for the summer. been looking at nike sfb but i dont really like nike running shoes im an asics fan.

>>Learn valuable life skills (work as a team, how to handle stress, etc
lol

Nikes are garbage. I have had good experiences with Garmonts and Bellevilles. They make non GTX boots as well. .

Can anyone tell me the name of this milsurp jacket?

If they give you shit, ask them if it's because they still hate Poles after they slaughtered them and lost the war. Post results.

kek.

Actual Kraut here, poles get roasted because a lot of stolen or wrecked cars end up being shipped east where they care less as long as it runs. Same with weels and hubcaps and shite, when you see a car sitting on cinder blocks with its weels missing you know theres polish folks around.

Never even knew his name. Put the car on his tow truck and rolled of into the sunset. Well actually the other way, but you get the idea. The car was totally fucked, but even after driving it east a couple hundred kilometers the guy probably still made a profit selling the seats and tires and stereo and and and. For us, it meant avoiding talking to insurance, having to deal with highway cleanup, and probably other stuff I don't even know.

The tow truck guy being a pole, naturally he even scammed my dad about that one Euro, he never even paid that. Sneaky fucker.

How are the EU monies?

I agree with this minus the boots which should be whatever is the best that you can find. For the pack consider a used commercial pack like an LBT 1476 or similar which can be found in used condition (so technically surplus).

You can also add surplus webbing set like ALICE or equivalent euro synthetic webbing.

Nothing. Surplus gear is for larping faggots, just get your backpack and other gear at a sporting store.

Soviet Plash Palatka. Cheap and very useful

>Surplus Rifle
You can get far better guns for far cheaper nowadays.

>>What are some surplus items everyone should have

user, I understand but truly I wish we could all have surplus rifles.

shits overpriced as fuck

yep.

that poncho cape thing has super-hero written all over it

>he doesn't understand funding.
Representatives(elected) raise taxes for yada yada because yada yada is a problem

Dohoho

For camouflage at a gay pride parade?

Canada made some jammy gear back in the 80s its still the most comfy pack for extra heavy gear

Well what freeze dried brand would you go with, smartass?

This. Mountain house is the worst freeze dried meal. Get backpackers pantry or pic related, apline aire isnt bad. Just stay away from any of the vegetarian shit

Attached: 20180716_163537.jpg (2560x1440, 1.7M)

I like alpine aire more cause its got a fill line on the side where you fold at whatever number it says instead of guessing in the field what 2 cups of water looks like

no word on where the back is

Damn you lucky SOB I envy you

Use your head. Unless you're out for a week plus you can eat like a king. Even longer if you can hunt, fish, or forage.

you posted it

Make sure you get an actual surplus M81 Woodland poncho liner, all the others are fake and gay

Maybe you want a surplus US Mil. M65 Field jacket
several other countries, like Croatia, have an M65 clone jacket for their military and those are also available in surplus

>roughly half of that shit needs to be refrigerated
>the other half isnt good to be set in a bug out bag and left for a few years
>just go out and fish lol
Some of us gotta live in cities, man, freeze dried shit is the best bet I have if SHTF.

Pilot bread can last up to 50 years and easy to make. Try it out you won't be disappointed. Really good addition to a kit

Only like 3 of those things are good for backpacking. The rest is ship if your camping with the family.
Freeze dried or mres or nothing if you hiking the back country, otherwise you WILL have a terrible time. You can have some light comfort foods like instant oatmeal, potatoes, hot chocolate, coffee, tea. But no not pack canned food or anything that requires more than just adding water.

>muh typos
I type too fast

there is no canned food on that list and all of it will keep for at least a weekend without refrigeration, most of it for much longer. It's all light and requires nothing more than application of heat or boiling water. What do you think on this list "isn't for backpacking"? I'll explain it, I don't want to argue, want to help you and others here save money and enjoy your meals more while /out/ and learn to be better backcountry cooks.
>SHTF
>BoB
I forgot we were LARPing, I guess. Your preps should be a part of your diet and cycled through naturally instead of some tucked away stash, but that's a whole can of worms.

I appreciate you because I had forgot about pilot bread and had been wanting to stock up

shame I can't buy it commercially in lower 48

Yeah I know about the m65 I’m just looking for a jacket that looks similar but is lighter

I had planned on making it. I didn't know it wasnt available commercialy damn

The eggs bacon chicken cheese veggies for sure, oatmeal, knorr, peanut butter and DRIED fruits are fine, same with the biscuits and breads, idk about the other stuff. But still thats all way too much weight compared to mres and freeze dried meals and snack bars/nuts/berries. You should be carrying more water and take into account the weigh of everything else. I made the mistake of carrying a ton of food i liked in the mountains and realized lightweight food is the only weigh to go if you have to carry it more than a mile.

>eggs
Don't need refrigeration if not washed, buy from a farm they taste so much better anyway Very light, they make plastic hardcases for them.
>bacon
Cook it ahead of time and the grease preserves it for a few days at least. Weighs nothing.
>chicken
pouches, nigga. Lighter than cans. Like an MRE main course bag but it's all meat.
>cheese
hard cheese keeps a good while because of the low water content. Heaviest thing on the list BUT if you shred it at home you immensly increase the packability and spread out the weight
>rice, pasta, couscous, gnocchi, dry soups, etc
Weighs nothing, just boil for tons of carbs
>veggies
onions, peppers, carrots will be fine for a good three plus days. You will feel good with fresh veggies in your dinner instead of salt laden preservatives!
>MREs
>light
you're high. the goody bags and the cheese/ pb pouches are great though.
I eat fresh on some of the most rugged hills on the east coast (Whites, NH), It's not super heavy at all when packed smart. But hey, if expensive mush is your thing that's cool too, at least you actually get off your ass unlike everybody else here.

Underrated

Asolo boots, if you want to feel what a blowjob of the feet feels like!

they are comfy but thwy are not well built. Plus the proprietary outsole gives them a very meek tread. Somebody needs to take that full leather upper and nail it to a vibram outsole instead of laminating. Recraftable Asolos would be sex.
