      We had quals once at range we don’t normally use and there was a porta potty there. We are on break when a female agent goes in and we hear the distinctive double kerplump of two Sig mags down the hatch. Range dude said those are gone forever.

      The meta for larperators is standalone plates in minimalist carriers, this is dumb because that setup evolved in an environment where the users were being ferried to their objectives and engaging in lightning strike raids. Most citizens that fancy themselves potential combatants would benefit from the BALCS ( basic armor load carriage system) style setup where rifle plates are backed by soft armor in a carrier that distributes weight far more efficiently. If you found yourself in a situation where you need to don a plate carrier in anger you are likely going to want frag protection and a way to carry a full combat load and sustainment.

        Not a bad start anon, now do a layout for the class to see

        That’s an option. I was originally going to have double stacked mags (6) in front, and have a multitool and flashlight or something in the side JSTA pouch. I found out I only need 4+1 rifle mags so this setup worked well. I can easily put a multitool in next to the 4th AR mag

        The issue is where do I put the 2+1 pistol mags?

        Is using a belt an option at all?

          Keep pistol related stuff on a belt. Loaded gun in holster + 2 spare mags. I keep 1 rifle mag behind the pistol mags and that's my primary reload for my rifle. IFAK w/TQ at 6 o'clock. Dump pouch if you find it handy. I also recently added an Arbor Arms 16oz Nalgene pouch to my belt at about 4 o'clock. Fits any mass produced bottled water as well. Some guys like to keep water on their chest rig or carrier, but I kind of like it on the belt so far.

          Keep your chest rig primarily geared toward supporting the rifle.

          Belt is a possibility. I want to be able to run my chest rig without a belt though and be set

          At the very least, Im open to running the pistol mags on a belt, and keeping the IFAK on the chest rig for when I don’t need to run a pistol.

          I also wanna throw a little BFG dump pouch on the back strap of the chest rig (or somewhere on it)

            Where do you currently have the pistol? I would assume a belt of some kind. There are kydex mag carriers that can be used with any standard 1.5" EDC belt.

            Only reason I keep my IFAK on my belt is because I pretty much don't foresee a situation for myself where the belt doesn't go on well ahead of the chest rig or PC. That said, I haven't ruled out adding a dangler for meds to my setup. I've avoided it because I'm just not a fan of danglers.

              There's no rule saying you need just one IFAK. I've got a dangler on my vest, one on my belt, one on my assault pack that I use for the range, and one strapped to the passenger seat of my car.

                I know. I've just been avoiding adding a dangler. I've got a car med kit, and my tiny boo-boo kit with band-aids, neosporin, eye drops, etc is in part of a pouch on my placard. I just don't like danglers, but it really seems like it's only a matter of time until I add one...

                How's the Ferro Mini Dangler? Big enough for the usual IFAK ingredients?

              I haven’t even started setting up my belt yet, but the pistol will be on my 3 o’clock. If there are Kydex holsters with double mag retention, that would be nice

              We won’t always need the pistol, so id like everything else on my chest rig.

          Thats absolutely fricking relevant, you dumb frick. This is why you need medical training. You dont even know how this shit works. Chest seals lose adhesiveness (especially Hyfins) within a year sometimes (if exposed to heat etc). Chest seals that are years and years old are just plastic. Same as using a Doritos bag. Kaolin lasts a little longer but any exposure to moisture ruins the gauze instantly. Seeing as you have fricking holes in it, it's safe to assume that shit is nothing but garbage.
          None of this matters to you anyway since you will never need to use any of this, will never get any training and will never own a firearm.

        A thick enough steel plate may stop a projectile, but it wont absorb the energy as well and will still frick you up.

          unless you have a specific cushion behind your armor, no armor absorbs energy. it just spreads it out from a point that is the same diameter as the bullet to your whole chest.
          from a physics perspective there is some energy disapation when the bullet and the armor deform, but that's about it.

            Too bad that common rifles do jackshit for behind armor damage. Between spreading impact energy over a 10x12 plate, lateral dissipation of force through the ceramic, dwell time robbing energy every nanosecond and the sharp divide between ceramic and polyethylene, you arent doing anything major to the person behind the plate.

            Even a completely inflexible steel plate should have no issues with behind armor effects provided it stops the round.

      So what's the replacement for hesco 4401 now that it's no longer NIJ certed?

      • 11 months ago
        Anonymous

        People talk up the 5.56 zap angle, but it goes much further than that, any FMJ going faster than 3200fps will destroy steel. So effectively every hunting cartridge in North America.
        This, and a complete lack of AP protection, there are no steel plates that handle even 7.62x39 API. Kind of a problem now that standard issue ammo is M855a1 and M80a1.

        My opinion is to put the SAS Hexar alumina IV back instead. 299 each, 8lbs, OMGWTF multihit performance. The pedestrian Apex-shilled plates like the 4s17m offer nothing over that Hexar panel.

        In line with the 4401, I wonder when Hesco is getting off their ass and releasing their fresh lineup they teased last year.

    Opinions on what sort of medical stuff I should get for my work van?
    It came with a basic first aid kit, but it's pretty cheap and basic.
    For context, I'm I'm mobile technician, and I go out to some reasonably remote places to work on stuff, and the factory guys occasionally don't grind the burrs off of the plates before assembling and shipping, as well as having to squeeze through some tight places. We service ATMs, so there's a risk of having a nignog come up to us and try to score some easy money, but it hasn't happened in my area yet. I picked up some bandages and gauze and stuff as extra, but was wondering on opinions from you guys.

      Other then being a volunteer EMT, what are some good resources for First Aid self study? Is it possible to reach or get close to the skill level of a combat medic as a civilian?

      It's heavy and hot as shit to wear for less protection than a plate carrier. It's also too thick to be worn covertly underneath normal clothing. If you're putting on a full armor carrier and carrying a rifle to face a threat then you should assume that threat could be armed with a rifle. You're not going to be around this armor carrier if you're at work or anywhere the most likely domestic threats are going to occur, so why not get thinner concealable soft armor that you can more readily wear instead?

    I was thinking about joining my local rescue squad to gain FA experience and knowledge. However, I'm not sure what level they train to.

    Other then being a volunteer EMT, what are some good resources for First Aid self study? Is it possible to reach or get close to the skill level of a combat medic as a civilian?

      Honestly that’s perfect. Take every volunteer opportunity you can. 68W training is often unit and provider dependent - the bog standard, never learned anything else ever again guy is an EMT with some IV and minor procedure experience. For a couple years, chest tubes and fresh whole blood transfusions along with vitals charting and here-and-there pressor drug functions have been taught but maintaining those skills depends on the medic to seek additional opportunities and is heavily reliant on his medical director’s investment in the soldier.

      The Ferro mini dangler is what I bought. It’s supposed to have enough space for normal IFAK stuff

      It works, just use a 4” ETD

      Enjoy your moronic lopsided shit gear with a huge water bottle dragging you down on one side. If you mount a fricking water bottle on the cummerbund of a plate carrier you are as moronic as those people who mount huge rambo knives to their shoulder straps.

      Why not both?

      Open up the sealed brick dipshit, people shit on others for not having a staged tourniquet and you still have your entire ifak in its fricking bubble wrap? Lmfao ok also why don't you just throw the tourniquet in the pouch and solve two of your "problems"

        Do you have any suggestions for where I might source some woodland rack pouches? I can find the base rack on ebay but kitting it up is going to be expensive. Are the shoulder straps on the rack adequate or should I look into aftermarket options?

    I’m building my chest rig and I need to fit 2 pistol mags, and 4 rifle mags on the kit. So far it’s all Spiritus systems stuff, and I’m throwing a mini dangler on the bottom for an IFAK

    Where would be a good place to store the second pistol mag? I’m trying to avoid throwing stuff on a battle belt as much as possible

    • 11 months ago

      i don't want to shit on your idea, but have you considered just ditching the pistol altogether (for the chest rig) and replacing the mag pouch with a full size multitool instead?

        That’s an option. I was originally going to have double stacked mags (6) in front, and have a multitool and flashlight or something in the side JSTA pouch. I found out I only need 4+1 rifle mags so this setup worked well. I can easily put a multitool in next to the 4th AR mag

        The issue is where do I put the 2+1 pistol mags?

      Keep pistol related stuff on a belt. Loaded gun in holster + 2 spare mags. I keep 1 rifle mag behind the pistol mags and that's my primary reload for my rifle. IFAK w/TQ at 6 o'clock. Dump pouch if you find it handy. I also recently added an Arbor Arms 16oz Nalgene pouch to my belt at about 4 o'clock. Fits any mass produced bottled water as well. Some guys like to keep water on their chest rig or carrier, but I kind of like it on the belt so far.

      Keep your chest rig primarily geared toward supporting the rifle.

    Recently picked up one of these Hgear ABU vests for super cheap. The camo is ugly as hell, but I really dig it. It's got enough webbing for a light load of mags, and the back panel can take hydration. Currently have a 3liter, but soon to swap out for a 1.5 liter. Not the most turbo high speed but I think the price was a steal.

      For a long time, LBT had solidly built shit, and even though the designs are now older, for a while they held up. Unfortunately, QC at LBT has sunk like a stone over the past 2 years. Stitching and materials used aren't as good as they used to be. And I say this as a long time LBT simp. makes me sad that the company went this way, but it is what it is.

    If you need constant access to water, nothing beats a bladder held in a ruck or bag attached to the back of your carrier. There are some chest rig harnesses that provide MOLLE for mounting smaller sized bladder bags on the back as well. Holding water on the front of a carrier or chest rig isn't great. Anything bigger than 16oz is definitely going to get in the way.

    I keep a bladder in my ruck, but for basic range outings and whatnot, I recently picked up the Arbor Arms 16oz Nalgene pouch for my belt. Pic related. Stows away completely when not in use. Holds a 16oz Nalgene perfectly, as well as any common bottled water. You could even use it to hold a couple AR mags or other random shit if you wanted to.

    Hanging canteens from carabiners works too, but can get floppier than I like when moving.

        Plates really have a very narrow use case. Going to be in a situation where you're mostly static and have a very real chance of being shot? Like guarding a location or being in a vehicle during SHTF. Plates come in handy there.

        For everything else, chest rigs are superior and cheaper to get into since you're not spending hundreds of dollars on just the plates themselves. Nothing sucks worse than cheaping out on plates and ending up with 15+ pounds of armor weighing you down, like the Highcom 4s17m plates mentioned here [...]. If you want decent plates that don't weigh so much, you're going to need to budget out at least $800 for them, unless you hop on the deal for the Blackbeard plates in that same infographic.

        You might want to first get into a placard-based chest rig setup that can be transferred over to a plate carrier down the road. There are even some chest rig setups that will let you use a cummerbund (Defense Mechanisms LCP, Javlin Concepts JCR, etc) that you could transfer over to plate bags too.

          It depends on what you want to carry. The Spiritus Micro Fight chest rigs sort of set the stage for modern modular chest rigs. Pic related was the super typical basic configuration for a long while. 3 slots for rifle mags in the back, 2 slots for pistol mags or other tools in half of the front, a general storage pouch in the other half, and a dangler for medical supplies.

          Probably the most popular pre-configured rigs are the Haley Strategic D3CRM and the Velocity Systems Gen IV if you want more pouches compared to the D3CRM.

          Chicom type 56 chest rigs are $20 but they are kinda shit for anything except 7.62 AK mags.
          My personal suggestion is for you to waste a bit more money and buy a Blackhawk chest rig like this one for $40.
          https://www.ebay.com/itm/224699327424?

          You will figure out quite quickly whether you will conceivably see yourself using any of this shit once you spend a few hours wearing it, and this chest rig is almost identical to the Garand Thumb Recce Rig which is $400 more expensive. If running around in gear is something you enjoy doing, then you can continue to use your chest rig or maybe consider future gear purchases. If you go out and spend $300 on some fancy chest rig then you'll likely never do anything strenuous with it and treat it like a cordura safe queen because god forbid you compromise the resale value.

        How did it work for you guys. I think a truly slick carrier like this is actually viable to be put in a pack if need be. The split front makes it so simple taking everything off as well

          Split-front chest rig like an LBT1961 with an ultra-lightweight slick plate carrier is the most scalable way to carry first-line and second-line gear. If you have a pack you can put the plate carrier in the pack and wear the chest rig.

        • 11 months ago
          Anonymous

          It worked good because it was scalable based on need. Many times, I’d wear my lighter Eagle Rhodesian rig that held 4 AR mags and 2 pistol mags without any other pouches because our mission was low profile more often than overt. The whole rig + comms could be covered with a big shirt or breakaway haji outfit which wasn’t “deep cover” but good enough to pass through a checkpoint or causal observation without letting anyone know you were kitted up. We also used luxury hard cars instead of Suburbans or actual APC’s and that can be a tight squeeze when dong vehicle work where less is more.

      Most of that is for Alice or belt tie-offs. Similar clips can be found on Ontario Mk3's and Kabars.

        The metal buckle is for attaching it to a standard-issue pistol belt or to webbing. The horizontal strap is backwards in your photo. Unsnap it and wrap it the other way. It will go around the handle of the bayonet.

        The buckle will go on pretty much any belt. The strap is for securing the knife in sheath.

        Makes sense, thanks bros

    I don't have wide feet as far as I know. In fact I have another pair of non-wide Salomons that fit me fine.
    What do bros? Keep breaking them in and hope for the best? Clean them and see if I can exchange them for a half size up? Sell them (I got a good discount) and order a half size up?

      Personally I never had to break in my Forces (Mid XA) and they were true to size. I wear 43, bought 43 and they're a perfect fit. I'd try cramming them with wet paper (like really cramming them) and leaving them like that for a few days. If that doesn't fix it, sell and move on. I'd also consider not buying overpriced meme boots like Salomon and Lowa and just sticking to cheap, tried and tested Merrell's, Danner's, Karrimor's etc.

        kek I was thinking of going for Lowa next if these don't end up working out

        Were the Quests from REI Salomon Quest 4s? Note that I am not saying 4Ds, but 4s. (The difference is that 4D is merely a part of the boot name, the type of the chassis it uses, while 4 itself refers to the 4th gen)

        Salomon Quest 4s have a completely different fit compared to Quest 1s, 2s, and 3s. Specifically, they're longer, like clown shoes (far oversized, as you said), but also narrower at the same time, compared to the old gen ones. While on the other hand, Salomon Quest Forces are based on Quest 2s, and thus share the basic design and fit with the older generation Quests.

        I should have prefaced that I'm a fricking manlet and need small or medium short. My ACUs were always small reg or small short so I assume it would be the same from crye or patagonia.

        That's where it seems like it's unobtainium to get used so new would be my only real option.

          SXS here. Literally just put the foam pads in the knee and elbow pad slots on your acu's and just wear them all out. Who cares about high speed uniforms. We're all going to have to paint our helmets in red white and American anyway.

            That's pretty much what I plan to do for a lot of the year but the main reasons I want a proper AOR2 combat set is for the actual camo pattern and breathability. My area is extremely green and hot as frick for half the year. ACUs are hot as hell and even worse with a plate carrier on.
            I could get creative and buy a navy uniform set and cut the sleeves off and sew them onto some kind of green golf polo so the body is still the moisture wicking shit.

    I like going for woods walks around the family's property, my ALICE belt is about perfect for the job.
    Nice and light, perfect for carrying my water, Poormetto® Glickoid™, and accessory pouch.
    However, I can't seem to find the ideal load balance between the belt and suspenders. The belt should carry most of the load around my hips, right? But I think I might have it too tight right now, because the suspenders are loose and don't really do much, and might be contributing to hip pain afterwards. (skinnyfat early 20's and not getting enough exercise to begin with, very hilly terrain) Should I even be bothering with the suspenders with this light of a load? Do I loosen the belt so the suspenders do most of the work? Or is it fine and I'm just too out of shape right now?
    What's your guys' light kit for short walks innawoods?

      the alice belt should only be around your hips if you're wearing it with a ruck. when you're just wearing the belt and suspenders it's meant to ride high and tight, so the belt would be at or above your navel

    Lost pictures of my gear in PC move but I got a Unobtanium Gear placard for my MEPC. I hate the placard system.

      Anonymous

      The SLEDS placard? That shit is so good. Only downside I've come across with it is that the MOLLE on the mag pockets add up to 5 columns, and the only 5 columns wide GP pouch I've come across is the HSGI Mini MAP V2. I might grab it and see how well it works mounted onto it. Not a fan of bulking up the front of my placard, but having a pouch front and center can be useful.

      Yeah, I remember looking into DM's placard system but it's just too much velcro. Guy I know has their placard and damn near every time he did anything with it you could hear velcro noises.

        Yeah SLEDS, plus a mag pouch to stick on the cummerbund since I originally purchased a sidekick pouch but that sucked.
        Honestly aside from the MEPC all of DM's stuff is either lackluster or moronic. Pure elastic placard pouches so reindex is a b***h and you can't even use kydex inserts, and everything velcro as mentioned. Should've just gotten a JPC or upgraded my cheap 6094

          Yeah, after using the Unobtanium placard and mag pouches, I'll never bother with pure elastic ever again. They can lay flat when empty like pure elastic, but the tegris sheet makes indexing pretty much as easy as KYWI and MP2 insert pouches and placards.
