Whats a good belt for a 30 inch waist twink?
Christopher Baker
Can we get some sposn smersh talk going? What am I supposed to put in that breast pouch it bounces around too much when I run if it has more than a hankerchief in it.
Also any mods you guys prefer? I've had to ziptie in the backpack so it stops bouncing with gear in it.
Joseph Rodriguez
Caleb Roberts
Not sure if this is appropriate here, or somewhere else, but for those that do USPSA, am I missing anything here?

Joseph Roberts
A belt belt? Of a battle belt?
Chase Richardson

Blake Miller
Brayden Collins
does anyone make a decent pack for asips? All the manpacks fucking suck and the jtac/117 bags are too burly boy
Colton Brooks
>howard leights
look at this fiscally responsible faggot! I bet he eats 3 healthy meals a day! Do you like penis as well?
Luke Ross
Should I focus more on having space on the front of my belt (so I can go prone), or should I have more space on the back of my belt (so I can ride in a car comfortably)?
I am mostly going to be outdoors instead of in a car, but when I am in the car it will be in duration where I need to sit comfortably and won't have time to put on and take off my belt (getting in and out quickly).
Jason Watson
Going to shoot at dirt is not a battlefield 4 mission, you don't need to be geared up to your pretty eyelashes driving in your car.
Get a belt you can remove before driving, or wear different pants and change innawoods if you direct thread your belt/pants
The only reason you would disagree with this is because you want to look cool and tactical if you get out to get gas or mcdonalds
Christopher Clark
He’s probably doing vic drills. Not everyone is boring, faggot.
Back of the belt should only be for IFAKs or rolled up dump pouches. Some dudes I know like to use those horizontal mag pouches but then you’re just not allowed to bitch when you can’t sit comfortably. Having stuff on the front won’t make you incapable of going prone, especially when you’ve already got your plates on but I recommend setting your gear up so you can comfortable perform a full ROM Olympic Squat and Military Press. That’s almost every rom your body can be expected to perform during combat operations.
Austin Garcia
Where might a young kommando find a flecktarn plate carrier?
Dominic Turner

Ian Rivera
Grey ghost gear.
Carson Ross
No.
Joseph Turner
Considering there are so many NIJ06 passing chinese armor plates for extremely low prices could anyone tell me what the downsides would be to them compared to 2-4x more costly made in US options? If someone could tell me whether or not most ceramic plates have an inch of unprotected area around the plate that would be helpful as well
Aiden Jones
Best multi-tool for EDC, shoot.
Luis Watson
The one you have on you.
Dylan Jackson
Which one would that be then you gigantic gaped asshole thanks in advance peace out boio
Caleb Mitchell
As far as the plates go, I’d rather spend a little more money and know that something has went through proper quality control and isn’t only effective in the center of the plate etc.
I’m pretty sure most plates are meant to stop a bullet no matter where on the plate it hits.
Levi Martin
Zentauron or Lindnerhof Taktik
Nolan Walker
Honestly it’s a much of a muchness, some people will swear by leatherman , others will say Gerber, I had a $15 dollar multitool from autozone that worked for me for years the only reason I no longer have it is because I lost it.
How much money do you want to sink into it.
Jeremiah Miller
Leatherman Sodekick if you like pocket clips and spring assisted plyers. Leatherman rev if you hate scissors and Leatherman Surge if you like little bits that interchange and get lost in Iraq.
Parker Anderson
As little as possible I suppose, but not some complete shit from China either.
Any european/german/swedish brands? Gerber sounds german.
I think the scissors have broken on every pair of pocket knife I've had, maybe skip it this time and more focus on the knife.
William Williams
I see where you're coming from, I've watched some independent testing videos on specifically the "Militech" brand plates which are only ~$80 a piece, ~5.5 lbs ea, and nij06 certified and they seemed to hold up fine. Main difference I can see with them is that the ceramic internals are tiled in different sections and held together with some sort of special adhesive. I almost just want to say fuck it and order a couple for my GGG minimalist carrier. I feel that if I'm getting hit multiple times in the plate I'm probably getting hit multiple times elsewhere as well so as long as it can stop a couple hits of M80 or M2AP it'll serve my purposes pretty well.
Nicholas Martin
Great, thanks!
>tfw a month after getting them I found a pair in the back of a 5 ton that another shop left behind
Gear adrift is a gift
Isaac Flores
Leatherman Rev it is, I think

Liam Lopez
Thanks for the advice. I've only considered the basic bodyweight (pushups/situps/pull-ups/chinups).
Easton Carter
Nice $60 Chinese airsoft sight you fucking retard
thank God you don't take your gun outside of its case otherwise you might break it
Andrew Flores
The bodyweight squat should be added to that parenthesis
Christian Murphy
This is also part of why the army PT test is changing to the Army Combat Fitness Test
Josiah Garcia
>No one is coming
Andrew Barnes
LBT 3 day pack non Molle verison works for me
Brayden Anderson
Chinese plates aren't batch tested and a good plate won't have an area lacking a strike face around the edge.
Hudson Ward
how are the SADF pattern 83 battle jackets or for that matter the new ones?
I see a lot of people talk about how a good deal they were but the 2 people I've ask from /gq/ always say they're shit without explaining why
Tyler Davis
Thanks!
Austin Fisher
I'm an ISSF man, but looks good to me.
John Mitchell
As someone who can't get US made plates, I'm rocking the chink ones because it's better than nothing. Feels kinda bad man. But at the same time, feels good to not be noplates.
Easton Adams
Look at the historical philosophy of combat gear in the modern period. Starting with real mass-production and variable-within-limits sizing produces one big problem: keeping shit from bouncing all over the damn place.
Load-Bearing Equipment is designed to sustain an individual soldier during combat operations. As tech developed, we found ways to do it without relying on metal hooks, safety pins, or even buckles in some cases. We found ways to make “shooter’s preference” a reality with interchangeable equipment down to the smallest pouch. We can keep our shit wound right to us with locking straps, molle webbing, and copious amounts of Velcro.
The battle jacket, the ALICE rig, and even the FLC are hampered by their design.
Will they hold your beans, bullets, and band-aids? Yes. Have I and thousands of other young hopefuls used them to their fullest potential? Yes. Are they the best option? No. But it depends on what you’re doing. If you’re gonna outfit a whole platoon’s worth of yahoos on a budget then yeah, they’re the right choice. If you’re going for that “Hollywood PTSD flashback where you accurately recreate your COP in your backyard” aesthetic then sure. Hell, if you just want it because you want it or you think it looks cool, then it’s the best choice.
You do you and make it work. Just keep your eyes open
Ethan Price
those shoes look a lot like vans
i think they are
enjoy wasting your cash because someone put a gun in the pic
Easton Ortiz
update: they are vans.
and I bought a pair for $50 bucks once
Brody Jones
well yours didn't have a little lightning and so were not gucci operator vans
Owen Garcia
Finally got my pouches from esstac I ordered
Jayden White

Easton Wright
Victorinox Master race. All you faggots carry pounds of extra gear you don't even use daily.
Sebastian Flores
Was someone in here posting about SADF 83 chest rigs?
RhodesianCamo maybe?
Chase Myers
No.
Don't do that.
Mason Sullivan
you'll cowards don't even smoke crack
Nathan Rivera
Wearing a 33 is not the same as having a 33" waist.
If you actually have a 33" waist at 6'4", you're stick-thin and need to go to Jow Forums
Liam Wood
Looking for easy to eat shelf stable food. This is a 24hour pack.
Chase Torres
He needs to read the fucking sticky anyway
Nathan Martin
I'm going to guess they have the same issues those cheap american plates I always see advertised on facebook and instagram. Protection for 10x12 plates is probably more likely 8x10 or worse and they probably spit a ton of material when shot reducing multi hit capability.
Isaiah Watson
That's like half the food you're gonna need especially if you're rucking. Pack a full sized can o spam like a man
Levi Davis
They retailed for like $130 but because of the resale market they disappear within minutes after dropping and then show up a week later with a 300% markup average that clout boys willingly pay for these fucking meme shoes to "operate" on social media like all their idols. I tried on a pair my buddy was lucky enough to get and they were comfortable with the insert they have but not $500 comfortable.
Christian Hernandez
i want meme shoes tho
Zachary Lewis
They are Vans, Defcon and LBT worked with Vans to make "maritime" sneakers in mas grey, as well as other patterns and companies like Multicam.
They're $130 but due to the limited production people sell them second hand for ridiculous prices.
Evan Taylor
Sebastian Butler
>tactical vans
welp
Henry Mitchell
Anything that packs extremely dense. The OG trail food it peanut butter mixed in with all sort of dried fruit and nuts. Even Garandman is on the PB stew train. Lots of calories in a small amount of space. That being said 24 hours is nothing. You don't need much food for a short hop, the body can go a long way without it.
Connor Sanders
protip: altama OTB maritime is more practical and half the price if you want meme shoes, also lowtops
Josiah Cook
ok grape shoes
Landon Campbell
>Wearing a 33 is not the same as having a 33" waist.
Where do you think that number comes from, friendo?
Aaron Powell
You’re not that dumb, calm down.
Gabriel Wilson
was looking at these
Bentley Ward
>tactical skate shoes
Are you niggers fucking retarded? I hope you all stand on a fucking nail.
Carter Anderson
Heh you didn't say what direction the nail has to be facing, this is easy
Levi Torres
I don't want to get my actual skate shoes muddy tho.
Jonathan Hughes
nothing personnail, kid

They have pretty decent grip for indoor surfaces.

Tyler Powell
Anyone has a good pouch for mounting to a belt and carrying a Mark 1 NAAK with 3 ANTAA, and one CANA. Want Velcro so I can attach a label.
Henry Miller
I love vans and wear them on a daily basis but fuck I'm not paying 300 for bootie-shoes when there is better options out there.
I would love some DC court graffix in a boot length and covered in goretex just cause.
Christopher Price
sorry im and just was like what the fuck are these nike shoes for? Fucking nonner's to show off to their PC loving desk jockey shit friends for?
Adrian Miller
what kind of retarded nigger would wear that shit lmao
Thomas Price
if they made them in non militaria colors they'd be a great EDC shoe.
Connor Russell
Benjamin Cruz
>black
negro
Luke Martin
>just stepped out of a fox outdoor catalog
also whats up with the filter
Grayson Carter
no filter
Logan Cooper
everything looks like airsoft in this pic, like its probably not but its just got that airsofter aesthetic
Hudson Phillips
wtf, I'm super twink mode and even I'm a 32 waist...
Adam Johnson
spotted the basement dweller. Solid black shoes stick out as much a coy-brown and camo.
Brayden Robinson
Hypebeasts drive the price of these up insanely high. Faggots pay out the ass for a pair of Vans with some LBT Mas Grey color.
Jose Harris
"poor security guard buys gear from ebay and wish" aesthetic
Juan Bailey
es bad to leave your chem stix exposed for long
Jackson Murphy
>projecting this hard
every third person is wearing blacked out roshes, new balances, or converses. its such a meme now that if you just google huaraches the first shopping results are all black or all white. get with it old man.
