    Designing a Load Bearing System

    I'm using a one piece TT MAV with bib and X harness, completely modular, holds 12 mags, has a rolly polly, dropzone utility pouches under the TT large pouches, and both the vest body and the bib has a map pocket. because of the complete modularity, pockets can be added or removed as necessary.

    Hygene

    One of the worst experences for me regarding hygene had to have been Paris and the people there. Nothing beats hobos using your train car as their personal latrine (leaving a lovely fragrant pile in the center of the aisle for all to enjoy), or the guy driving a Ferrari peeing in the bushes in a...

    How to pack a rucksack

    the OD and black arab style scarf? you bet. I enjoy it, I find the issued waffle scarf too long and found it had a tendency to get unwound and unwrapped and get in the way. EDIT: I had thought the keffiyah was red and white, and the shemagh is a subdued color version used first by the SAS in...

    here is the new chest rig I got. Daves Army Surplus was great in getting it out fast and no problems. its a tactical tailor MAV with Bib and X harness. I plan on getting some Admin pouches from dropzone to put under the large accessory pouches.

    Kit Reviews, issued and non issued

    I just got in my new TT MAV rig, with bib and X harness. Initally very impressed with the quality and design. lots of strapping for adjusting and wearing over top of armor, and feels generally good. will post some pics and a further review after I get some use of it in the field.

    Kit Reviews, issued and non issued

    Oh yes, I do love the ranger blanket. I have the issued one, plus an american one. Most often I use them two and leave the sleeping bag in the valice. A few times camping as well they have been a saving grace for warmth and lack of weight.

    Extra Kit on BMQ ? Cameras, Cell Phones, Laptops..

    I brought my cell phone and my camera. As long as they were not being used during the training hours and the staff didn't see them, it was no problem for us. In the field, the camera was good for taking the requisite and mandatory section hero shots. Lots of good memories. And if you don't have...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Just a question for those who may be more financially inclined than I, if one were to purchase an aftermarket Rig of sorts, would they be able to put in on their tax return as a "work expenditure?" is it possible to claim these sorts of things as necessary for our job and get the money back when...

    Non-issue gloves (Hatch???)

    I have a pair of MEC softshell gloves that I wear with a pair of N2S windstopper liner gloves.  Using them out in the field this weekend in snow, rain, sleet and cold, they worked well. Warm when they got wet, and dried out fast. plenty of dexterity too. I would rate them as comfortable to...
