It's just a condor pieceashit I got got $50 with bladder pouch, 4 mag pouch and 2 mag pouch. It's adequate for my purposes and actually is pretty sturdy, regardless of it being low tier gear by manufacture.

What brand is the plate carrier?

Are you in the market?

Are you in the market?

Yes

Fantastic lists, but all of you forgot to mention porn. In my eyes that's poor preparation.

When I was in SERE one of my instructors told us to take some porn, scan it and then shrink it down so you could put 20 pictures on one letter size paper. then once you have 12 pages, double side it and get them all laminated as one large piece. You can fold it down, use it for cover for from rain/snow/sun and still give yourself something to do. ;)

Packed up. The back pouches are 5.11 and easily removed if I'm going to be rucking with the carrier on.

Condor plate carrier? I use Condor Modular Operator Plate Carrier in A-Tacs.

 

[Ranger Psych]

Yeah, I think that's the one. Condor got started w/ airsoft stuff from everything I can tell, with build quality on that level... but they've actually made some good stuff as well.

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

Yes

I've got a Large Eagle LE-PC in Multi-Cam thats like new, it has the Cummerbund and I added shoulder pads. Here is a link to one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eagle-MOLLE...rbund-multicam-LG-XL-/310496536896#vi-content

$150/make me an offer, I'll snap some pictures in a few days if you want.

Most of my gear is now Condor. They do some very good gear and cost is reasonable. One thing that helped sell me on them, is (I do some work at a local tactical store, so I can order wholesale direct from them) is when I ordered a chest rig. They called me back about a week later and told me that the kit had arrived but they were not satisfied with the work on it so they sent it back. Asked if I wanted something else or would I wait. About two weeks later got a call that the kit was shipping out.

 

[Ranger Psych]

Yeah, I generally don't CARE who makes something for the most part if it's something I can actually inspect in person as far as being put together well, etc.

Stuff off the web, I buy straight out only from reputable manufacturers others or I personally have used before and have seen that their gear holds together without fail... ie, TT, LBT, other manufacturers.

We've been putting together what we believe is the ultimate "go bag." What items do you have in yours?

For the medics out there, what medical items would you deem essential for the medic kit portion?

Screw the Go Bag....get a Go Truck and haul all the shit you need and some buddies

 

[pardus]

Are you in the market?

Kinda...

Don't forget booze and cigars with matches.

You're scaring the shit out of me right now... You really are a Ranger! The funny part is the room is a mess with soda pop lids and disorganization all around but the kit is squared away. I'll bet you eat MREs and have a weight set in the front room as well. Not to mention dry practice targets taped to the walls.

That was a quick picture while I was cleaning up after modifications on my computer tower.

Mres taste like ass, Power switches work well for dry fire, No coin for a weight set.

My 28lb 2 1/2 year old daughter does mule around the 20lb kettlebell though. I don't think X_SF_med or LL are surprised to hear this in the least. Good form too, although I tell her to leave it alone.

I guess that the wife has matching loadout with differing carrying system (TT 2 piece MAV and armor system seperate due to female physique) both with L4 multihit AP-resistant plates probably doesn't surprise you either.
