Got a little bit of woodland gear left. Sometime I would like to build myself a Smersh type rig in woodland.

Yep, plenty. I doubt I could sell it for what it's worth (to me) so I'll probably have it forever.
There are plenty of places here where Woodland works well, Spring-Fall. |

I've still got a pair of cammies in the closet and a few other things laying around. I gave the rest of it away to the Boy Scouts at my church because I don't have a 28" waist anymore.

Yes. Most of my gear is woodland, ranger green or OD green. Woodland works great in the woods down here.

I have one M16 double magazine pouch. Right before Afghanistan I was reissued an M16A4 from a SAW. I had no M16 so I scavenged within my friends and got one coyote, one black and one woodland all on my coyote plate carrier. It is still my favorite go to pouch now that I am out.

Emdom will make woodland by special order.
I still run occasional woodland gear orders updated armor designs in woodland pattern to blend in with client local environment or to blend in with the local nationals they train. |

Tons. Good for my environment, and many others. Will be selling-off excess once I inventory and cull.
Over the years, and many sales, I could probably equip a platoon. Time to sell excess. |

Woodland works great in AFG. Lots of high end gear makers still do runs in woodland since the ANA mentors and the ODAs and MARSOC guys pushing commandos wear woodland. The afghan commandos have a new digital pattern but most of the mentors still wear woodland.

I am still collecting woodland molle gear, just started a few months ago. Making me a few shtf setups for cheap, been hitting a lot of the mil surplus stores. right now i have 3 of the flc vest, 9 m16 double mag pouches, 4 canteen / utility pouches, 2 small utility pouches, just got in 8 m9 pistol mag pouches the other day. I also have a few other things that are not woodland (ACU/Coyote/Tan). may try to hunt down some rucksacks here soon.

Upgrade the frame, and either will do as long as you have them set up properly. |

I cut and separated the Y suspenders, added a couple simple 1" bands to hold the RACK webbing in place, then sewed the diamond-shaped piece to keep the straps from separating too much. (Got that idea from the forums here) I also added a Fastex to the back left strap, makes doffing way easier. On the medic medic pouch, I added a long strap of 1" webbing between the two sides of the zipper. Just grab the strap and yank: both sides unzip and out spills the IFAK insert. Best part, is that woodland gear is WAY cheap nowadays so I don't feel bad cutting it up. |

I really dont use the bottom zipper on my ruck much anyway, and theres little to no stress on the zippers themselves if you use the cinch straps. The bottom compartment on the original always seems too big for just a sleep system where as on the ACU/Multicam one you can distribute the load however you want and arnt tied to using a certain pouch. I'll admit that my only time with the woodland rucks was at school where Cadets who had no idea how to pack a ruck would have shit hangin out like a damn gypsie traveling circus. Alice packs for short and light term stuff, MOLLE 2 for long term, cold weather stuff. |

It's not just a question of stress on the zippers alone, which can be relieved somewhat by using the compression/backup straps, as you suggest above. It's also that what with dirt and so forth zippers degrade over time, and eventually fail. But, to each his own. either rig will do, and each has its drawbacks and advantages, depending on how one looks at things.

Piss poor picture but you can get the idea. Mostly surplus items; USGI Molle warbelt that I setup in a more traditional LBE style, works great in the hills of East TN/West NC. IFAK is S.O. Tech, suspenders are Condor and are surprisingly more comfortable and robust than expected - I'll be replacing them with a padded harness from Beez Combat Systems soon. Emdom USA is now offering Woodland as a custom color option, no idea what the extra cost is like, I intend to eventually take advantage of that as well. I'll try to get some better pics later this week.

Most of what I run is Woodland. I still think it is all around the best camo for most greened up environments. The black tones especially help you fade into shadows which is important.

I'd argued that green-dominant ERDL lowland is the best forest pattern. (Did you know that pattern was developed in 19-freakin-48?)
ATACS FG would probably be runner up. Multicam Tropical looks like a contender. I'd like to see more pictures of it in use. No freeloading- Im going to get some pics of my other woodland stuff tonight. |

I have tons, probably 3 or 4 large totes filled with the stuff, not to mention various packs and so forth. IIRC, I have one lg tote filled with all sorts of pouches, another with vests and belts, and some other totes with misc stuff. I even have a brand-new Chaplin's Kit Bag. I'll be selling a lot of it in the EE at some point, but I'll keep a fair amount, as I want a decent rig for each long gun.
I need to inventory all this stuff, set up various rigs for all my long guns, and figure out what is excess. That will take a while. |
