That's some serious dedication!

 

Like em? Not really

Think they could sell? Most likely

If you market them on eBay as "Mark 1 Mod 0 Tier 1 DEVGRU chem light holders" you could sell them for $20 a pop.

On another note, how about just taking the length of fishing line, tying knots in either end, then over lap them in the middle and use the heat shrink to hold them together?  Saves you on using the crimpers.

 





 

 

Thats pretty much it. If I could get another VS-17 panel I'd cut one up to make what we used to use for room clearing/signaling.

::shrug:: It would end up being just one more of dozens of products on the market that are just prettier and "more tacticaller" versions of things made with $.08 of random bits that now sells for $5.  

Kinda like a $10 pack of twenty Ranger Bands versus $10 for a pound (approximately 240 ) of rubber bands at Office Depot - and that's going with the fancy, expensive brand, too.  

But hey, there's hope - MagPul got it's start marketing the equivalent of a six inch piece of gutted 550 cord, the snipped off end of a zip tie, and a strip of 100mph tape.  


Like I said - they look slick - but that doesn't mean you'd ever get me to pay for them.

Late to the party on this one but just use the entire cord no need to gut it. Square not it into a loop after sliding on the chemlights and you're good. It's reusable too. To prevent fraying melt the ends with a lighter.

Then you don't have to tie each chemlight individually.

Thats what I do.

Saving pennies for radios, liberator III, D.A.R.K. IFAK, insert for belt pouch, and waiting for my distro to get more Chip McCormick 10+ and Tourniquet Nows.  It's all fairly redundant so both can be used independently.  It's coming together.

Some of my gear

I am have just about all my stuff optimized.  Now begins the long job of saving for spare NODs or thermal

Which chest rig is that. Also how do you have the mags on the APC?

You've got good taste.

Can list the gear in that picture please?

NOH Tactical (Steve Nolan). Anyone interested in one, IM me. The APC has the Mayflower Tripple Mag Insert in the kangaroo pouch.

Thanks!

Regarding Mystery Ranch packs: Anyone happen to have a Nice Day Pack Lid laying around that would be willing to measure between both upper and lower buckles?

Made a few more revisions. I am still looking for a kangaroo pouch 3 mag solution that does not use bungie cords.





















 

The banshee crowd seems to like the HGG Kangaroo Pouch, its one of the only that fits. i think i'll be getting one for mine in the near future.

 

PFRAN, I really like your kit. It looks really clean and functional, without too much crap.

I've been working with my kit in cycles as I run it. My main function is as a Medic. Currently EMT-Basic certified, finish school and cert EMT-Paramedic this may. I started with just a basic LEO style inner and outer Safariland belt system, which was replaced by a MOLLE battle belt by Condor and eventually became an ATS War Belt in Multicam. Then entered the plate carrier. I went through several iterations before settling with a surplus IOTV that I got at a great price and I really like some of the features including its quick removal system and large level IIIa soft armor coverage area. I've experimented with various drop leg platforms as well, but never found anything that fit well with the system that I have. I think starting from just a belt and incorporating the plate carrier later has given me a different mindset about setting up my plate carrier, and I wanted some advise. Basically I've got all my essentials on my belt, and if I put anything on my plate carrier I'm limited by whether or not it will interfere with access to my belt. I see a lot of guys effectively utilize the side areas of the carriers and I feel like it would be better if I were able to run maybe more of my stuff on the carrier and go more simplistic on the belt. Do we have any other guys running a belt and IOTV that can post pictures of their set ups? I will update with pictures of my current set up and a comprehensive list of my gear that I have/want on my rig.

Dick Flap lol

QFT

The whole reason I got a plate carrier, got to protect the family jewels! Haha

Fu*k that's a lot of pistol mags. Nice set up though.

 

Take a look at the safariland single legs strap drop leg panel and remove the drop leg strap and use the drop flex adapter instead.  Much more stable and lower than straight belt mount.

Yep.  Hate those things.  That being said, a guy from my squad  caught a bunch of grenade shrapnel with his and ended up with shredded dick flap, some bruises, and just a little tiny cut on his actual equipment.  So there is that.

Nice set up. I would consider keeping the two tourniquets together with your primary line and IFAK. If you must ditch your secondary or don't have time to don it and end up with severe wounds to two extremities, you might be in trouble.

Yup, it's all fun and games until it saves your dick from getting shredded.

If Call of Duty has taught me anything (and it's taught me everything)... it's that switching weapons is much faster than reloading them.

Do you even Ballistic Boxers bro?

This.  the ballistic diapers were way awesomer.  And nobody ever ran around camp in the ballistic undies, helmet, boots, and weapon.  Not ever.  

Wow, I am at a loss for words....


I wish I had that kind of $$ to blow on gear.

Needs more guns

Needs more PT belt.

Needs more SHARP "Smart Card"

I'm jealous of everything in this picture.

Perfect........
