Yes I know :D

I wasn't sure at first either but it didn't seem to matter, people still had problems seeing me- ask Steve, and he was marshalling lol :P

It was hot anyway, I don't cope well in heat so I was going as light as possible

Right then, been away from the gear for a while, so here's the actual gear segregated from the great big stack pictured in the 'Just bought' thread. Stripped out all the guns, mags, optics and knives and here's what's left. Couple of accessories in there, but hopefully you guys can let those slide just this once.

F**K ME :o

That's a lot of multicam :D

II'm half-way through your strandhogg video right now, looks like a brilliant piece of kit, and I hope more developments in the tube and 6/12 systems come out in the future. It does look like a great advancement on previous pieces of kit. Great video as always too :)

 

God i'd love to sift through all that :lol:

Cheers. If you're interested in the 6/12 stuff I'd recommend checking out the FS website to see their new low-pro chest rig and watching out for it at retailers. Not sure if it'll ever make it across to the UK, but it's about $70 which is an awful lot more reasonable to most than the Strandhogg at $400, heh.

Yeah fair one, that picture does make it look like an awful lot when you lay it out flat like that. :lol: I've actually got more kit that's not MC at this point though, it's just older and far less gucci.

Here's me in my cold wet weather kit:

 

MK6 Helmet & Cover

OD Skrim

MK IV NBC jacket

Web-Tex DPM Vest (the rarer type with multi-tool and torch pouches)

95 Pattern JACKET DPM COMBAT LIGHTWEIGHT worn as a shirt

Remploy TROUSERS MAN'S WATERPROOF Moisture Vapour Permeable

95 Pattern TROUSERS DPM COMBAT LIGHTWEIGHT

Viper Security Belt Black

US style DPM Water Bottle Pouch, plastic water bottle & aluminium cup.

Custom Bum-Rig (Wilkinsons' gardeners kneeling pad, Web-Tex elastic, permanent markers camo)

KH Mountain Elbow & Knee Pads

German Para Boots

Generic Hiking Socks

M&S pants & thin socks (the foundation of outdoor gear - comfy shreddies!)

 

Sadly I'm carrying an M4 in this shot, but in my defence, I was doing so to see how I liked the feel of them before I knew any better (and it is an ICS).

 

Since then I've added Pyrohide gloves and a Web-Tex 3L Hydration pack.

I was going to say "whoa dude, airsoft girl" looking at that second photo, but experience has taught me it's never a girl. It's always a 17/18 year old lad who's in that stage of life where he thinks long hair is dead cool wearing a hat and full face pro.

 

Anyway, it's a nice loadout nick, well put together. I couldn't run a shotgun sling like that myself but if you find it comfortable enough to use then more power to you, at a site like the outpost I've no doubt at all it'd come in very very useful indeed. Next thing on the shopping list has gotta be a UBACS?

No that is actually a girl! I know its amazing!

 

Anyway, the nice thing about the tri shots is they're quite light to only issue can be when crouching down as the muzzle can go into the dirt.

 

And yea an A-TACS UBACS is defo on the list but at £60 it may be a while :D and before I need to get some A-TACS FG BDUs

I was thinking the same; standing or prone you're alright, but crouching, sitting or squatting would be rather awkward. At those sorts of CQB sites must people just stand all the time anyway though so I can see why you made the choice you did.

 

If you're considering the Propper TAC-U... well I don't recommend it myself I'll say that. I'll be using mine in the winter and I reckon it'll work very nicely, but the design is not comfortable in the summer one bit. I'll look in to picking up an OPS/UR-Tac shirt to compare since they do both types of ATACS at similar prices.

 

Long hair is cool.

In the 1980s. :P

 

I'm not fussed either way in all honesty, fashion choices are the same as airsoft choices; do what you like, it's your life. I just knew an awful lot of guys when I was around that age who grew their hair and every single one has since decided it was a bad idea (including my own brother); the trend just makes me chuckle slightly on occasion is all.

I'm 44. For pretty much all my life I've oscillated back and forth from skin-head to letting it grow out long and it grows fast. For now, while I've got no bald spots or noticeable grey, I'm giving it a last chance to blow in the wind etc.

Sorry don't quite follow, are you saying the Propper A-TACS is not very good? I was planning on getting the Propper BDU A-TACS FG kit

Perfectly reasonable plan of action. In fairness, if I was allowed (which I'm not unfortunately) then I'd probably give it a go, but I don't think I could hack it for very long.

No the Propper stuff is fine, it's built very tough, just a bit too tough I think. They use a heavy weight of poly/cotton mix material which is great for the cooler months and resilient to general wear & tear, but compared to issued DPM/MTP and most other high-end gear it's really hot in the summer. I'd hoped they'd use a thinner fabric for their combat shirt (which is called the 'TAC-U' http://www.uktactical.com/acatalog/A-TACS-...t_Shirt_FG.html ) which is why I bought one, but that's not the case. My own fault because I could've just actually read the product description but you live and learn.

Ahh thanks a lot, I've never had an issue, my vest etc was way hotter than my legs. I will hopefully get one of those when budget allows, will stick to the BDUs as they're only £35
