You guys got issued underwear? ;D I prefer to go commando, especially in the spring/summer months, much cooler. The poly-cotton OD shirt isnt that bad...I still like to wear it in garrison, for the field it gets ditched for under armour shirts though. The thermal underwear work very well, for...

I did some more reading up on Quik Clot on the lightfighter forums and decided to remove the quik clot from my kit.

Are the Wiggy's bags dropzone sells good?

Pte Pinky Depending on the exercise, I might take an extra pair of boots if the ex doesnt involve alot of humping the ruck (ie range ex)

Im still experimenting with the patrol pack, i was using a blackhawk LRRP buttpack attached to the tacvest, but decided to ditch it because i was keeping way too much on the 2nd line with it.  Ill try moving the patrol packs contents to the ruck and keeping the patrol pack between the frame and...

I have one of the old USGI ponchos, they are a real nice piece of kit paracowboy, thanks for the tip, ill move the lighter from the vest to my combats

Thanks for the replies guys Cpl Massecar, im Infantry with the LSSR Kevin B, ill ditch the groundsheet and go with the US poncho only, so far im just running a bic lighter, but ill look around for a good butane lighter. I carry about 4 extra socks so far (2 in patrol pack, 2 in the ruck) I...

Just looking for some oppinions or suggestions for improving my field kit, some guys say i pack a little too heavy, ive only been in for 1.5 yrs so far and just did my BIQ this summer, im open to any ideas from guys with more experience then me.  Anything I should shave off?  Or anything I could...

I really like black US Jungle boots (good ones not the made in china knockoffs) for field boots most of the time, and in garrison they are really hard to spot (I have a chit anyways).  I tried the Danners with goretex liner for a day in Wainwright this summer and started to get a little water...

So thats what those things were :-[

I just got a pair of Danner Acadia boots in the mail, and I seen that on the danner site they mentioned something about "Airthotic insoles", however no insoles came with the boots, do danner boots have insoles built into the boot? Thanks

Whichever watch you get, If it has a leather watchband, I really, really recommend  switching it out with a nylon one, I nearly lost my Traser on a winter ex when the leather watchband decided to rip when I rucked up.

I recommend a Silva Ranger with mils.

I made my own and carry it in a medium Ziplock baggie in a utility pouch on the vest. I carry: 2 Gauze pads 2 gauze rolls 1 Triangular Bandage 1 Medical tape roll 2 Gauze rolls 1 bottle of Ibuprofen 10 Alcohol Swabs assorted bandaids 1 Antibacterial cream (ozonal) Blister care pack...

Thanks for the sizing info, I was just about to ask that :salute:

Roger Skic at customtactical.com also makes custom stuff/pouches in CADPAT and DIGICAD.

I think it would just complicate the rifle. 

I think im going to go for a pair of Danner Acadias..

I see dropzone tactical has the original swat boots for sale. Do the danner Acadias breath well?  I prefer a boot with a textile upper cause of my really sweaty feet lol.

Thanks to all who replied :) So far ive heard good things about the Hitec Magnum boots and the Danners. What are some of your oppinions on the Hitec magnums?  I see a couple guys in my unit wear them. I take an 8W running shoe but am running a 7F Combat boot and I find it fits me perfectly...
