I started off with surplus kit, DPM and some ALICE webbing stuff. It was ok for a budget starting loadout, but it didnt suit my needs. A "one size fits all" loadout from surplus pouches and ALICE kit bodged together is just nowhere near as useful as a MOLLE setup for exactly what Im using that day.
If I was going for a certain era look Id be all over that surplus. But for a generic skirmish loadout Ill go with whats comfortable and works for me. Which usually isnt surplus kit. Unless we go up to super modern surplus and start using MOLLE surplus kit, but then Viper et al sell all the same stuff for a fraction of the price of a surplus plate carrier etc.
ALSO why ARE we RANDOMLY allCAPS some RANDOM words?
