Quoted: I kind of am leaning towards people who are so unhappy with themselves they only exist to talk shit over the internet or disrupt actual dialog, as they would never say a word to anyone in real life, in fear of facing actual consequences for their big mouths.. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: What happened to everyone on this site. Some dude puts out info that he was trained on in SERE school, that I can only imagine civilians in war torn shitholes would have paid everything to absorb before conflict happened, and everyone shits on it. Calls it larping etc etc. If that's the thought process then almost every CCW person is a John Wick larping wanna be. I've had to stop myself from being so negative the last 24months.

I kind of am leaning towards people who are so unhappy with themselves they only exist to talk shit over the internet or disrupt actual dialog, as they would never say a word to anyone in real life, in fear of facing actual consequences for their big mouths.. And yep, they'd never dream of saying that shit to his face. It's why I'm off all social media except arf and why I took an 8 or 9 month break from this place. I browse for a little bit of news now, but mostly here for the tech forums and EE with occasional glances at GD for the rare firearms-related thread. |

I've been watching his videos on the treadmill for a few months. It helps with the boredom and I'm not just staring out how much farther I have to go. At the end of the day, it's entertainment that you occasionally pick up some knowledge from or find some new gear that you didn't know you needed.

Quoted: That was always weird to me. How some people will own multiple AR15's but a sturdy belt to carry mags and a med kit is going too far. View Quote Because having guns is ok, buying other stuff makes you a LARPer and the object of ridicule around here. We are often our own worst enemy. |

Other than the Thermal, what was so outrageous with his gear in this video? Seemed his 1st aid kit was a ziplock bag, everything else seemed standard.
Is his water filtration gtg? Haven't been following the new filters for about 15 years now. |

Haven't been following the new filters for about 15 years now. View Quote His first aid kit was a boo-boo kit, not a full IFAK. One presumes he has an IFAK on his belt or in the pack somewhere. That's the same water setup I have for camping. It's a great idea. Get water, hang, filter into smaller pouches or even into a cup. It's not cheap, though, especially if you buy a spare filter. |

They don't take up much space and you can just drop em in a nalgene. |

Haven't been following the new filters for about 15 years now. View Quote Those mini/micro sawyers are good to go. $20-$30. Most thru hikers now use them with smart water bottles. Sawyer started making them where they would thread right on. You can also run them in line off of a bladder so you can drink and filter simultaneously on the move, though that set up has its drawbacks of course. I used them on my AT thru hike along with aquamira, and boiling, so I had 3 options for drinkable water. |

The sawyer mini filter is cheap…..like $20. Cut a section of your hose on bladder between the bladder and mouth piece, tie in the filter and your done. You can filter all your water while it’s on your plate carrier, pack, whatever

Quoted: First step to surviving urban combat is don't live in an urban environment View Quote Die early, be fit, live rural… So much great advice here.

Quoted: Quoted: The thermal screen was neat. I'd never heard of it. I had not either. It's on the list now. I’m thinking some simple plastic wrap or sheet would provide the same thermal barrier concealment against thermal scans. Just don’t let it touch you. If I get a chance tonight, I’ll try to see if it works well. |

Great videos. I'm guessing the haters on page 1 are fat and unfit and will die. So they take it out on me, a LARPing ARFCOMMER.

Quoted: Last I saw, he only released two videos in the planned series. I'm disappointed, I'm no stranger to being out in the woods with a pack and rifle but additional/different opinions and experience are welcome. At best it challenges assumptions and drives improvements, at worst it cements existing decisions. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I thought he released them?

I'll have to watch it, as he's a good watch on topics at times. Before I even do so though; I have to say, if shit's going down that you need urban combat kit - I can't think of a brighter beacon flag to indicate you're the first guy to put rounds into, if you go around dressed and kitted out like he seems to demonstrate from my quick 10 second snap-through.
