This is my OTV I built from the ground up from parts I found on ebay and at local gunshows. The multicam cover is airsoft but it's within spec and I was able to put the standard USGI OTV kevlar inserts in it without issue. I then acquired a set of Dyneema plates (level III) made in Israel. The plates weigh half as much as ceramic plates currently in issue. In fact they are so light they float in water. I also had the neck/yoke assembly custom converted to multicam by (bulletproofme.com). I then put titanium inserts in some of the weak areas. I have HSGI mag pouches in Multicam. Thats about it....

PASGT helmet & vest

The vest is the one I bought from armygear.net, as mentioned in the thread in /trade/

Gen I LBE Vests, purchased from the same company.

South African Pattern 83 LBV when I first got it.

The belt setup (pistol for now)... still waiting for a decent light bearing holster for the Sig and some good mag pouches.

Ugly as sin. Voodoo Tac belt, Blackhawk mag pouch, Serpa (came with the gun deal), Maxpedition Dump, misc pouches usually for shotgun shells)

Other belt kit I have is setup for carbine (TT belt, 2x Taco, 2x Fastmag, TAG Dump pouch)

That's it for now, once I kit up the MCAV I'll post an updated kit list of it, and if anyone wants info on any of the other stuff I'll post some more pics/kitlists.

And yes, I'm a massive gearslut...

- RTF

I also run a Safariland mid ride holster and currently use a blackhawk! open top mag carrier.

USGI LBV, fitted with some surplus pouches (ALICE and M56) on the belt to maximise carrying capacity. Surprisingly efficient and easy to use, even for something so old.
And, you know, looks totally badass.
I dunno if the 1911 mag pouches on the left shoulder are the best place, but it seems to work.

Second Chance OTV, with USGI SDS pouches. No ballistic inserts ATM, maybe when I can afford to eat something other than cup ramen.

I also have a bare-bones set of ALICE webbing at my other home, along with a set of Italian army ALICE webbing. I like to collect web gear, so I think I'll get a set of Brit PLCE or '58 pattern webbing next.

dey see me trollan', dey b hatin'.

But that stuff is mainly for the shitty trip down south to picture related if shit should occur.

From the first post:

"Every post must have an image, and every image must be your personal gear."

Not trying to be a dick, just pointing out that your posts may get deleted without some pics attached.

My SPC:

Left to right:
TAD Gear general purpose pouch
Blue Force Gear triple ten speed shingle
Eagle Industries triple shingle
Eagle Industries grenade pouch
Eagle Industries 1911 mag pouch

Emdom admin pouch

On the back:
TAG hydration carrier

right: My BAE Eclipse set up for OPERATIONS.
Left: my IBA set up for pistol qualification.

I guess I'll play.

Is there any way to make posting kitlists a requirement in the thread?


Also, finally got some pouches for my MCAV:

Marz Tactical Admin Pouch (really liking this design)
Left to Right:
HSGI Bleeder/Blowout Pouch
Tactical Tailor Triple Shingle
BFG Triple Shingle (on top of the TT one, mainly to be kept empty, only used if needed).
BFG Single Shingle

And the back, with one of SKD's PIG Hydration Carriers (2L).
Really well designed pouch, liking it a lot so far.

Tactical Tailor Modular Assault Vest with an X-Harness with 3 HSGI 2XR TACO pouches. The single pistol magazine clip on is going to be replaced with a 2-3 cell pistol mag pouch, it works for now though. I carry the G17 in a Serpa belt holster that isn't pictured. I've been meaning to get a leg rig for the pistol and an admin pouch. I've thought about adding a pistol rig to the TT-MAV but it seems like it would be awkward to draw.

The mags are range mags, hence the yellow tape. Makes them easier to spot when I drop them on reloads. That reminds me that I need a dump pouch as well.

First up is everybody's favorite old whore: Alice!

Next is a first gen LBV sans belt.

Spectre chicom style AK vest, pouch flaps removed to show mags.

FLC set up for shotgun and pistol.

Range/BOB with IFAK

PASGT and Blackhawk! low visibility plate carrier with level 3 titanium plates.

Camelbak 3L Thermobak.

When I didn't have to wear an IBA or IOTV I loved my riflemens vest. Pretty standard lay out. From left to right, IFAK, two double mag pouches, 3 singles, and an empty canteen pouch. For various things.

It may not be super HSLD, but it's functional and comfortable.

My go to IBA:

7.62x51 rated SAPIs front and back
9mm subgun rated soft armor front and back
8 primary mags in velcro mag pouches, not sure but I think they're eagle
Eagle ACOG pouch, houses my gloves and other misc. shit

Thinking of picking up a PIGBRIG and an AO small chest rig, along with maybe a battle belt eventually. I like the idea of being able to run my armor under everything else, being able to stow my chest rig/belt and still retain at least some protection.

Alice rig:
x4 triple stack mag pouches
x2 canteen pouches

eagle ciras land

I dont have any pic of it straight on. I would take one but it's in my car right nnow and Im fucking lazy.
I run HSGI tacos and an HSGI bleeder/blowout bag w/blood stoppers and trama shit and some Blackhawk 50%off hydration carrier.

Am I a mall ninja yet mom?

Pretty simple rig, mostly just a thingy to hold magazines for me for classes and competitions. It is the tactical tailor split front MAV. I've got 4 1x AR-15 magazine pouches, one double pistol mag pouch with the magnets in it, an egl dump pouch that rolls up tiny, and also a little zipper pouch on the front. I am currently waiting for SKDtac to get the tactical tailor x-harness in stock again to improve comfort.

my new PCEB

(Person of Color Evasion Bag)

I think I could fit more in here, but for now it's mostly a range bag.

I still need to get a good vest/chest rig or something to hold mags.

This is a picture of my Saiga 12 double mag pouch. Since nobody out there makes them worth a shit, I had to make my own. (the vestguy.com) makes them. I bought them and they suck almost as much as he does. So I have some HSGI mag pouches, and I figured since I like them so much, I would make some. Except big as fuck enough to fit not one but 2 Saiga 12 mags in. So here is my first one I have made so far.

>>1573 Not bad.
>>881 Looks good. Is there kevlar in it?

<<< Another picture of my homemade Saiga 12 pouch. I made it so the mags are staggered. I must say I'm happy with how it turned out but damn it sucks making your own.

Took out the plates and swapped out some pouches on my SPC for a 3 day airsoft event coming up this weekend.

Eagle Industries SPC:

Front (left to right)
Emdom admin pouch
TAD Gear general purpose pouch
Eagle Industries triple shingle
Eagle Industries frag pouch
Eagle Industries 1911 pouch
LBT double 40mm pouch
Blue Force Gear triple shingle

Rear
Paraclete radio pouch
TAG hydration carrier
Paraclete flash bang pouch

Time to bump with more gear...

I liked how much SPCs setup worked out, but I also wanted to make a similar setup in a chest rig version:

SDS RACK
(Left to Right)
TAD Gear GPP2
Tactical Tailor shingle
Tactical Tailor triple shingle
Paraclete frag pouch
Eagle Industries 1911 pouch
Issued double 40mm pouch
Eagle Industries M60/SAW pouch

Worn with the ATS war belt setup I've posted around here somewhere, going to pick up a standalone camelback w/ a small pouch on it to go with it for hydration/sustainment.

I'm using the center inner pocket of the RACK as a map pouch, going to try and find a way to paracord a smaller pouch in there to hold other admin stuff too.

>>2372
Gonna have to dye all that shit green if you move to Portland, it is how we IFF

My go to rig as of this afternoon:

Tactical Tailor MAV with MAV bib
2 surplus MOLLE II 3-Mag Shingles
Condor AK/AR 3 cell mag pouch
Maxpedition mega Rollypoly dump pouch
Spec-Ops large medical pouch
Spec-Ops frontal assault pouch for gloves (need to buy Mechanix tactical gloves
Ontario Knife Company Ranger Assault Knife (RAK) with MOLLE sheath

I've ran my AK74 with this rig and have had much success. If the SHTF I will put mags with 5.45 55gr HP's in the MOLLE 3 mag shingles and alternating 60gr Hornady V-max with 53gr 7n6 FMJ's. With all 12 mags loaded and in the vest it weighs ~16 lbs

FOR CASCADIA

(obviously not full battle rattle)

>>2375

Better? Got bored and took some rattle cans to it.


Also gonna be adding some awesome stuff to the collection and adding some more pics over the week, just waiting on some stuff to come in the mail to finish a setup I'm working on...

>>2680
looks good

LONG LIVE CASCADIA!

Flyye 1961a and a cheap-ass Chicken PC...
Because buying original gear is fuckspensive here, also customs is a PITA regarding US stuff.

>>2748
lol no, just a dummy,
(is hard to get real gear here, getting an MBITR is near impossible even for military personel)
also, gear thread
Camelbak HAWG 500 and Scarpa Kailash

S.O. Tech Callahan.

Used to have one years ago, but foolishly sold it. Saw one for pretty damn cheap, and had to pick it up. Basically one of the earlier plate carriers with the removable chest rig attached to it, not as good a design as the newer ones since it attaches via malice clips as opposed to fastex buckles, but still a great rig.

And my little Lo-Pro project...AKA, I wanted a second SPC...

Eagle SPC
Blue Force Gear triple shingle
MSM small admin pouch
Custom made Ferro Concepts Cummerbund w/ built in elastic mag/misc pouches and 2 larger ones for med inserts/random items.

Pic of the how the mags sit in the cummerbund.

Also forgot to mention I put a set of SKD's PIG shoulder pads on it. Pretty comfy.

Got bored, tossed my AR mags in my AK rig just to see how they would fit. Interestingly enough, they fit pretty well. They sink down a little more than they would in an AR mag pouch, but they don't fall out and they're easy enough to get out. Nice temporary solution until I get my AO small...

>>2973
Yeah, I was just throwing them in out of pure curiosity. I was thinking of getting some magpuls, and back in the day, guys got issued ALICE M16 mag pouches, for 30rnd mags, of course the 20rnd mags slid right down in, so the old trick was to throw an extra pair of socks in the bottom to keep the mags raised up. I'll probably do that, but again, it was just me playing around and I'm gonna get an AO small real soon.

HSGI Warlord V-3 Bravo 8 loaded pmags, IFAK kit on the left side, general shit/canteen in the right pouch. They are nice in that they can be cinch down small but open up to hold a canteen and than some.

Blouse is crye's field and bottom is tru-spec OD green pants slightly faded.

not picture is my Lowa Zephyr GTX mid-length in olive.
gloves are either some shitty wiley x's tacticool or the issued crap. hard to find decent gloves that are comfortable for my paws.

Babbys first Battle Rattle

All posts in this thread need an image of your personal gear, or they will be deleted. Thanks.

IFAK contents + CPR mask.

Best photo I can get of it now... this is gonna be me at the next practical rifle run. :F

>>3163
I certainly hope you aren't serious with that rig.
That looks ridiculous, also it's too low, prepare to be fucked with while running.

>>3189
Ahem.... Where's your photo?

>>3188
This depends entirely what you mean by Serious. I'm not a high-speed-low-drag operator. I shoot for fun. One of my fun runs is a monthly carbine match I was recently introduced to. It's not run by any national organization. It isn't USPSA. It's Randy's (the match director) version of the world, once a month.

The general rules stay the same, but the specifics can get moved around quite a bit. He has a very specific outlook on the world... very tactical. I'm a USPSA gunner at heart. I want to run fast and pull the trigger - fuck finding cover and retaining my reloads.

The people who actually show up at this competition run the gamut from middle-aged computer nerd ( http://www.operatorchan.org/k/src/133931422860.jpg ), to Airsoft Tacticard ( http://www.operatorchan.org/k/src/133937469232.jpg ), to Sergeant Major ( http://www.operatorchan.org/k/src/133931329343.jpg ). And yes... he seems legit. And he wears Sergeant Major insignias.

I ran the match last time with 2 spare mags stuffed in the back pockets of my jeans. There's not a whole lot of running involved... certainly not more than 100ys under actual time. Remember I mentioned "Randy's Rules"? He's pissed about blackhawk down. So pissed that he wants us to retain magazines. That's his cited reason, anyway. My back pockets are not conducive to retaining my magazines.

I went out and found a basic platform that I could mount a few mags (only gonna pack 3, not 6), and a dump pouch (yay retention) on. As a plus, it puts my reloads about where I expect them from USPSA. A little lower, but I've got that buckle cinched up tighter than in the photo. I've run around in it a bit... it's more comfortable than some vests I've used.

Am I entirely serious? No. I don't thing anyone could mount a machete like that, and be entirely serious. I enjoy tweaking people who take these games too seriously, see? Randy has a thing with knives. I've been warned he will occasionally set a stage where you must "fight your way to your gun" using only the knife on your gear. He starts many matches with a knife check, making sure people are carrying. People have these $$$$$ Benchmade Fixed Blades, and Gerber FLM-IIs, and other huge pieces of expensive steel strapped to their $$$ super-tac molle vests... Well, fuck that. I have a $5 machete and some mags on a leg platform. And I still have a damned good time. So, no. I'm not serious about it. But yes, I AM serious about it. See?

>>3199
Basically what PJ is saying is, you have the rig extended too far down your thigh, it looks like it's sitting somewhere around your knee.

Ideally you should have it sitting so god damn high that the horizontal straps are touching your balls. That might mean modifying that vertical strap, taking that buckle off and having that tiny portion of strap go around your belt.

This will have it sit higher up, make the mags easier to grab and have the weight closer to your centre of gravity which will stop it flopping around as much when you run, keeping you at speed and your gear from tearing itself apart.

Here's a picture I made a while ago in regards to thigh holsters, but it applies to any sub-loads.

>... (only gonna pack 3, not 6), and a dump pouch (yay retention) on.... but I've got that buckle cinched up tighter than in the photo ...

:)

TT split front mav with x harness, not a lot of rattle.

I made a few revisions to my rig

My daps dawg

Here's a picture of some of my old gear, I just got another EPC recently. Before you jizz the AOR1 is repro.

Nothing much to brag about.
LBT 6142A
EI Canteen
The vest is a TAG Banshee. Nothing too great about it, except for it's size for me. I don't like it much. I'm trying to get a AI FSBEII MBSS soon enough.

>>3771
>lolBanshee

Not terrible and very good for the $. I picked up one for some old plates. The Mayflower apc and skd pig have better straps and are better thought out but much more $.

"Not terrible and very good for the $. I picked up one for some old plates. The Mayflower apc and skd pig have better straps and are better thought out but much more $."


Yeah, I can agree on that with you. I do like the fact that TAG's gear, although not the GREATest quality, It's still US Made gear.
So, you do have some pluses in getting TAG gear, But I'm trying to get avoid it now. Reason being is mainly for the reason I like EI, AI, LBT, etc.. Gear companies like that.

trololololo

Pic of how my gear shelf is looking right meow. Minus the KDH Plate Carrier, just sold that and shipped it out this morning.


>>4535

Is that a LBT one, or a Ferro?

>>4320
Sup brah?

This + PACA lo-pro cop armor are my go to rig while out and about.

Unless we're gearing up for full retard, but that vest is already posted.

It ain't much, but it's what I got so far.

Eagle RRV and Tactical Tailor Mini-MAV

Still need to find a IFAK that I like.

Soft armor stolen from the IBA I won in CC's amnesty. Thanks again, CC!

Just realized it's been a few weeks since I posted in this thread...and I can't do that.

Eagle Allied MBSS
Mixture of pouches I took off my other rigs, gonna switch out the utility pouch with an IFAK soon, and take off the frag and 40mm pouches, also need to get another hydro carrier, or I might take my PIG 2L one off my SPC.

Nice cheap tac vest with my Combat knife I keep on it. holds 4 rifle mags and 4 pistol

>>4911

This flack jacket only cost 40 bucks yet it stopped bullets from my 9, 40, and 45. I just purchased some steel trauma plates for it too.

>>4912

Cheap Czech M10 gas mask I put a little 'trench art' on. Works great with tear gas.

>>4913
and last I have a basic steel pot with netting on it. I plan to get a good German Kevlar helmet from a friend still in service. Also have the tacti-cool hat and bala there. The googles are just for riding my ATV. The trails get rather dusty.
