At 55 and carrying a spare 20lbs I am not ninja anything and I'm not playing soldier. But I am going on night patrol! For predators or hogs.

I have found a "battle belt" or "war belt" with suspenders to be a really useful piece of gear for perator and hog hunting. I can carry just enough gear that is quick and easy to access.

A surplus radio pouch which fits a 20oz bottle of tea, water or soda as if made for it, a mag carrier for one extra mag, a medium to large pouch to stick my thermal scanner in quickly, a small pouch for spare batteries, a pouch for a 22lr suppressor if bring along my P226 with the 22lr conversion kit installed, a SERPA holster for it's retention when climbing berms, banks or fences.

I always carry a set of stand up height trigger sticks.

I usually wear a pair of jeans which are forest green, if they are in the laundry then the darkest blue jeans I have, a dark shirt if it is warm, my all rounder lightweight camo jacket if cooler, a hoody under that if it is cooler, polyester thermals if it is cold. Snake boots when hog hunting in TX, GA or FLA, hikers or Muck boots here when predator hunting. Tin of Long Cut back right pocket, ball cap if not wearing NODs.

I use NV less and less frequently, but if I use NV it is a dual PVS 14 set up with a TW helmet. More often these days, if the PVS 14s get used it is to augment my two thermal set ups and one gets mounted behind an EOTECH on 15/22 for someone to quietly pop coons, opossums, skunks or mounted with a 3x on a 5.56 with a laser for the property owner or other guests.

All rifles suppressed!

If you can still fit any belt from High School, you are doing MUCH better than I...

I take every chance I get to flush my gear out and make sure I'm good with it. I'll wear a chest rig while hunting deer and I really don't care what anyone else thinks about it.

Cuz holding NVG goggles is hard to do and shoot at the same time, so that's where a helmet comes in with the NVG mount.
Shooting 1 hog with a bolt gun will do nothing to control hog population, so semi auto rifle with 30 round mag is best.
Cheapest semi auto with 30 round mag that's effective for hog is ar-15.
When shooting at night with NVG the large fire ball is a problem as well as the sound, so a suppressor comes into play.

Using that type of kit, dressing in under wear and sandals you will still look like an operator in the sandbox in summer.
AR-15 with suppressor, helmet with NVG, and chest rig or belt rig for additional mags, no deer hunter looks like this apples and pineapples.

Best reason is type of hunting taking place (deer daylight hours only legally, hog hunting usually at night), well hog hunting with thermal and NVG is not really hunting more like extermination services

For me its the difference in species i'm hunting. During the traditional hunting season for small game and deer I look like 99% of all the other hunters out there. Camo that covers all and blinds well with surroundings. Wood stock rifle 10/22 for small game and a few loose rounds in my pocket. For deer 308 bolt action with only the rounds it can hold. During archery season i'm even more traditional than most because I use a recurve and no sights. I hunt like that for the sport. BUT HOGS?!?!?! Those I hunt for fun, meat and to help stop the damage they are doing to the farm. I use helmet mounted NV so I can ride and stalk at night. I wear a tac vest to carry knife, gloves, range finder, bug repellant, binocs, batteries, small arm, mags and ammo. All of witch have proven useful during long hunts. My rifle is a Keltech RDB 5.56 bullpup with 30 mag, red dot sight and green light. Its light weight with low recoil and that's important when you have 20 hogs running in all directions after the first shot. Its simply having the best tool for the job. There's gear for sport, and there's gear for ERADDICATION!

Because hogs are like ISIS and deserve the same fate.

What if she's super hot and really into foreplay?!

A better question would be...why would an Army guy dress up like a civilian?

They think they are in the mall or something?

How else are you supposed to dress when you're on patrol for jihogs?



Pretty sure our concept of "getting head" is quite different from that of muslims.

Jihadi sausage sounds so less appealing....

Besides, they're too lean to make good sausage and I'm told they have a gnarly aftertaste.

This.  I want to go hog hunting though, because it seems like it would be fun.  

Maybe your not hunting the same hogs the rest of us are?!

That is interesting.  A friend of mine wore a kilt and used a spear to kill a huge ass wild boar.  I mean this bitch was HUGE.  A spear.  A kilt.  Go with it.

where is the promask???

There is a reason they wear burkas....

THIS  .......  STILL  

Your suppressor cover is on backwards, but otherwise nicely done.
