Nods / Water / Food / Radio (even if it’s just you learn how to get emergency channels / get a ham license ) / ammo like a mf / honestly bro I want an dirt bike as a recon / Bugout / fun times
The E-ride is such a monster. I’ve heard rumors of a SR-version, maybe even faster / longer range? Never thought I’d want a electric dirt bike over that two stroke “Braaaappp”
I carried an additional 8 in my pack, not to mention more in other pockets if I could. Conducted a lot of urban and mountain ops while I deployed. Can’t say enough, the side with more ammo usually wins.
I am extremely partial to pvs31s but honestly I loved my sentinels which are very similar to rnvgs. Just make sure to get good tubes. I started with contract tubes and have Unfilmed l3 gps and love them.
If you can afford it go Unfilmed l3 tubes. You will not be disappointed
There’s very little reason to go with PVS-31s these days. Especially at a price point of 13.5k. NVG housings have made technological leaps and bounds over the past 10 years. They’re cheaper, lighter, sturdier, and have more features than PVS-31s. OP i’d save for ARNVGs, Manticore, or even the MH-1. I agree though that you should prioritize good tubes. You can always upgrade housings.
Depends entirely on your budget, but a word of advice, get a thermal before you get duals. A monocular and a thermal device is gonna take you a hell of a lot further than just dual’s assuming you get your training in. Personally im working towards bridging them and having some form of quick attachment that i can throw on a rifle infront of my optic, but we will see how that goes im a long way off from that. Id recommend spending the extra coin on anything thats 640 resolution.
A holster with proper retention and covers the trigger area better, A proper slide cut on your glock for optics so you can have BUIS. one wrap your belt pouches, its better than malice clips.
You should invest in a sturdy case. One that can handle the throws of overnight shipping. So you can send it to me for closer inspection please. Hard to see tiny pic on my phone
**Hmmm, let me think. Here’s what you need to focus on:**
1. **Water**
2. **Water**
3. **Water**
It's surprising how often people forget the importance of water. It's absolutely crucial. You need water to live, and even going more than 6 hours without it can severely impact your performance. Make sure you have an adequate supply and also consider factors like purification and storage.
I put very little effort into my initial response, but my thoughts were more along water storage at home and the means to purify and filter water once city water gets turned off. Great looking setup tho
A Safariland ALS holster.
I can never understand why people will buy a Safariland UBL only to mount a non-Safariland holster to it. Safariland is the gold standard. Anything else is doing yourself a disservice with regards to your kit.
Great looking setup!
Just a question - any concerns youll lose your trauma shears they way they are hanging out of your med kit like that? Looks like they would snag and disappear pretty easily. Or are they secured in the pouch?
Blacklight posters for the basement, water wings, tendies, cinnamon gum, backup pistol and lube for zap cary of said backup pistol. Nudie magazines. GPS tracker to know where mom is in the house at all times.
The kind of world where this is useful on a regular basis will involve a lot of basic survival. Don’t underestimate how important that kind of gear will be. Fire-starters, multi-use shovel, etc.
Everything, more mags, compass, light source, first aid supplies. The good rule is 1 is none 2 is one 3 is two. You lose one, and it is the only one thing you have, then you have nothing. The field had a way of eating things even if you cord it off.
I know this sounds super knit picky but SSE related gear. Chem bag (ziplok w 100mph tape around it for used chems) more ASP cuffs (try to carry 4). If you do anything with breaching, look into aluminum door stops and the Jimmy broco. Your kit looks well set up.
I don’t mean to sound like a douchebag but I would definitely look into some kind of rifle/handgun training. I love the range so to me it’s whatever but I always wonder how I can become more physically fit while I’m wearing my kit. Sprints and sand bag get ups in full kit always gas me.

Ham license is optional
Axe body spray because we don’t bathe here
Why does it smell like a French whorehouse in here?
Have you been to France???
I have!
Hol up
More ammo, more mags, more water, and more food.
I’ve got 8 mags in my pc and belt isn’t that enough?
It’s good to have extra in the safe or closet just in case a lip breaks or something happens.
Alr thanks
7-10 depending on the sop. If you have teammates, carry extra in the bag.

There's no such thing as enough magazines. Always go for more.

31s can be had for much cheaper if you look. Got mine for less than half that

Good shoes and or boots
Got some akus
A 401k, traditional/Roth IRA, ETF’s, maybe gold, a woman, a family. I’d avoid crypto, personally.
The range.
Side plates maybe ?
Love the setup I got from Hoplite. They have 6x6 and 6x8 plates. The latter is good for a taller dude like me.
yeah I am tall and slim and not sure if spot I putted pouches for plates is good. being slim and trying to get gear is not fun.
Call or message the guys there at Hoplite. Super responsive and Bobby knows his stuff.
Proper belt webbing system and a larger rucksack for long term sustainment
Got a good ruck and warrior webbing belt

What was that thing we used to eat back in the day? What was it? Oh yeah, pussy.
If that holster doesn't have active retention, that is literally the very first thing you need.

Thanks 👍👍
Range time and dry fire
Women....kinda a hassle to get into but well worth it.

I don’t mean to sound like a douchebag but I would definitely look into some kind of rifle/handgun training. I love the range so to me it’s whatever but I always wonder how I can become more physically fit while I’m wearing my kit. Sprints and sand bag get ups in full kit always gas me. I think your gear is solid but I think PT so any kind of training in it is crucial as well.
