Obviously inspired by the Dutch masters... or Caravaggio perhaps.

You should do a series of them for an exhibition, Monty.

I just load other peoples dump pouches with carrots and dead animals during a quiet patch or something- allows you to laugh whilst they walk around unaware!

Corrected that comment for you mate!

 
Im late to the party, but whatever...

I'm still working with the GP-5 bag by my sholder, It's used to keep my lower mesh mask in while i dont need it.

if anyone's wondering, the camo i'm wearing is the Russian 'Ripple' camo (aka Ryab). i got it from here (Hyper link attached)

(before i forget, i need to get some kneepads)

Knee pads are overrated if you ask me.. I play woodland and am constantly going prone or kneeling and I find some decent trousers are perfectly adequate.

Built in knee pads would be good as they're smaller and light weight but I find external ones just get in the way

 
i used to have a pair, but they got ripped off in a game. It helps me alot because the camo i use is VERY thin.

 
Just to clear something up, MealZ, that's a GP-7 bag - the GP-5 bag is long and thin. I use a GP-5 bag as a dump pouch and a GP-7 one to carry my ghillie veil.

External kneepads are great for kneeling in wet mud etc., much better than built in which cannot but wick up water into the cloth. Not necessary, but wet kecks all day are a bummer if you can't change.

 
My knees got kinda messed up in basic training, during just a couple of days of the final exercise they went from absolutely fine/standard spritely teenager, to barely being able to squat. Always having a weapon+webbing+bergan on then dropping to kneeling many many many times without any pads (on top of the monkey running and other larking about) and spending a long old time in the kneeling in general. I was fine at the end in every other respect (apart from stinking badly) but I genuinely felt like an immobile old man when I tried to drop down to reorganise some stuff in the bottom of a locker. Took them probably 3 years or so to go fully back to normal.

For airsoft it's all about the Crye style setup to my mind. I've got a few trousers with the internal foam/neoprene but then you're just wearing through the trouser itself whenever you kneel, so having a foam pad with a plastic cap on the outside not only means the pads will last a long time but if they eventually do wear out you spend far less money. They can be occasionally tricky to position just right, but they're always somewhere in the correct sort of area; pros and cons to all the different arrangements.
