Yeah it was riding much too low; I adjusted it last night and pulled it up a few inches higher. The bottom edge of the rig without the dump is right at the top of by belly button; with the dump deployed, it's above my package.

Any higher and I'd probably have a hard time drawing my pistol unless I rearranged things to a cross-draw from the left, which I haven't ruled out yet. This whole setup hasn't even seen the range yet so I may change some things but I like the JSTAs on the ends; they're perfect and I feel like I'm getting close.

You should just need these wedge adapters for the kywis.

I think haley makes a pistol insert.

Yeah, it says those work with all KYWI inserts, so that's all I need. One thing I noticed with the KYWI inserts though is the retention is REALLY stiff. Might try and heat those wedges up and ease the retention a tad.

Any ideas on assault packs to buy? Specifically Made in the USA is great but not opposed to foreign so long as it's not made in China. And needs to have molle on the sides and maybe the front. Has to have sternum strap as well, I don't really want a cummerbund because it would make carrying a battle belt a PITA.

Or should I stick with purchasing a USGI surplus in mulitcam or brand new? Leads to places to buy the legit real deal and not copies?

Would like to have internal space to store for a water bladder or water bottles, poncho, poncho liner, extra IFAK, rations, snacks, hatchet, possibly a folding shovel, and maybe some admin pouches to store the smaller things like batteries and chemlights. Definitely needs places to mount D60 drum pouches, M18 pouches, Esstac mag pouches, etc.

Figured I ask here instead of making another random thread.

Your "newer" version is actually the Medium Rucksack, 72-hour bag. Meant for a frame, bigger than the assault pack.

Hmm, I thought there was an updated assault pack. Not the one I linked to apparently but I thought it looked similar.

I remember seeing one and thinking it looked a lot better than the one I had when I was in.

Total weight if I had to guess is ~45-50 lbs. Since the THOR III is designed for a specific military purpose, there really aren't many practical applications in the civilian world. You can pick these up brand new for $175-220 if you are diligent. Much less expensive than the $620 MR Crewcab (which admittedly works better for its intended purpose).

I'm thinking this will also make a great drone hauler if I can find the right sized Pelican case.

The Crewcab is also like triple the size and comes with a NICE frame.  Both of them absolutely sucked for the equipment we bought them for.  They literally blocked the fans and made the thing overheat.

Been getting more into the Spiritus stuff lately, I spend a lot of time out and about with a radio on and was tired of always wearing a full PC, so I got a spiritus rig.  I ended up wanting to expand it a bit because the PRC-163 is pretty heavy and gets really hot, so I wanted something more dedicated than an expander wing.  Ended up going with the Spiritus "thing 2".  It has internal radio pockets on both sides but I will be putting an external radio pouch on one side to let the radio cool better, and a utility pouch on the other side.

While setting it up I figure I would try some of my other placards on it, and to my surprise they worked...really well.  So now I have a base chest rig I can add any placard to from just about any manufacturer.

The offending piece of equipment, the PRC-163. With an expander wing It just gets too hot and tilts the entire rig to one side because of it's weight.  With a utility pouch on the other side filled with a nalgene or something I can easily balance it out.



Base setup...havent added the utility pouch or radio pouch yet. Just ordered extras of both to dedicate to this rig.



With actual spiritus MK5 placard and esstac kywis installed




With Esstac dedicated 308 placard



With velocity molle placard and esstac subgun setup



With esstac molle placard pulled off my JPC 2.0

Yeah, JSTAs, and I had them modified a little to stow TQs and chem-lights on the outside; the inside keeps a range finder, IFAK, tape, paracord, and other small shit. I'm not using any inserts inside the pouches though.

Ah yes, I see the elastic you added, now. Very clever. I added the Tracer Viper Panels to mine and the shock cord on the sides that helps retain the mod and keep a flat pouch can also do some minor retention of a similar type.

Nice, thanks. I was wondering why yours had the elastic and mine didn't, thought it might have been an older design. I like the pouch so far, running it on my first line belt.

If you’re going to have the tubular nylon on your kit I suggest securing the two running ends together either with a water knot, or have a loop on each end and connect them with a carabiner.  It’s one of those things where if you need to use it, it’s typically a thing where it has to go fast

It has loops sewn in each end. Why would I want the ends clipped together? I used to keep a carabiner on the front but replaced it with grim locks, I should go back

We used those for dragging people, you would loop it under their arms and pull them like you are a plow horse, or to lower someone from one story of a building to another, or you do a girth hitch around an object to make a fixed line…. All of these tasks typically happen quickly.  We always kept overhand-type knots on each end that formed a bite and used a carabiner to make the line into a loop for this stuff.   It’s just one less thing to worry about or fuck up when you are moving fast in the dark/gunfight/medical emergency.

Ive dragged plenty of people with those lines, you don't want it pulling at one side or the armor is just going to try to come off the entire time. You want it under their arms or run through the molle and an even pull across the entire carrier.  A Grimloc will not hold together at all.

The only thing I don't like about the water knot is that it can come apart when shaken, so getting in/out of vehicles likes to pull it apart.  I just do a double overhand to tie it off.

Here's an older setup I used, you break the rubber band and 4 feet of pull line drops already connected to drag somebody to cover. No running lines through or around anyone (which may not work if the person is missing their arm) and no fucking around connecting carabiners in the dark.

My newer setup has an overhand knot tied off instead of a water knot (for the reasons motioned above) and the rubber band was replaced with a quick pull velcro flap I made.

Ah yeah, in extraction and climbing and you definitely don't want to be getting pulled by your carrier for that.  I carry a separate line for lifting/lowering stuff and people.

Mine is not attached to the carrier except for quick access.

It is intended for looping under arms.  I wouldn't try to pull some by the carrier if there was another option.

if I had a team that practiced that shit regularly, with SOPs it would be run under the carrier and attached to the belt then excess gathered at the top.

Earlier at some point i was taught the under arms way.
Some swore by It (expecially trainers).
Not something stable or particularly usable in my opinion.
I think the way shown by daemon Is the best One.
I think someone also used a climbing carabiner to attach the lower part to a rigger or a blast belt to mitigate the armor riding up, do i remember wrong?. Needless to Say you needed a quality carrier.

We used the early Kosmo Mout lifeline, a design that could definitely be improved.

At some point we had carriers that had rescue handles attached at the end of a 2-3 feet webbing tucked into the plate bag that popped out when you grabbed the handle so you had a Little more space as the handle cleared the wounded Person neck, head and helmet. It put a lot of strain to the material, but It held securely.  I still prefer the standard One and the large webbing loop.

Edit: i forgot that the large underarm webbing loop technique was standard procedure for those african wildlife Rangers i met that run unarmored.

A webbing method I have seen that seems to work well is the following;

Run the running end under their torso just under their armpits

Take the working end and pass it through the loop at the tip of the running end

Pull the working end tight to cinch it around the body then drag.

Not sure if that makes sense the way I typed it.  The PC kind of acts as a cushion between the body and webbing. Plus cinching it tight and being under the armpits prevents the PC from pulling off.  It’s only meant to move someone from a danger area to better cover.

That is the best way with regard to comfort of the individual.  It isn't the best way if you are taking fire.  It takes too much time to set up and limits you to pulling a single line which means you are forced to walk backwards and it's hard to do prone if you have to crawl, as opposed to tossing it over your waist and walking forward.  It also doesn't work if the guy is missing an arm and can take more time depending on how he individual is laying on the ground.  If the arm is pinned to the ground you have to roll the guy around before you can loop the line under the armpit.

I've gone through a LOT of training iterations of this and a few live runs and the SOP always shakes out to nylon run through the carrier. You can access it with the casualty in pretty much any position.

The only revision i've made was swapping rubber bands for a velcro quick pull tab, I can get pictures of that later.

I went to our sew shop and had the riggers make me a sheath similar to the lowering line used jumping.  I keep it rubber banded to my kit and it keeps it slightly safer from constant rubbing/sand when helps keep the integrity of the line in case you have to use it for something like pulling a vehicle or something.  TBH, a big loop of nylon is always in my emergency shit, even at home because you can do damn near anything with it
