Gear loadout pics and descriptions

[Koshinn]

OK, I'm guessing that's what Koshinn was getting at... I have an ATS (small) on the way and will move it closer to 4 o'clock.

Thanks for the help guys, sure as hell beats realizing issues in real time.

Yeah, placing anything at 6 on a battle belt really sucks if you sit in a vehicle or lay on your back. I actually keep that part empty.

Gotcha thanks man. Ended up revising the setup a bit.

Banshee PC, BFG tourniquet now, kywi triple rifle. Might add a HSGI bleeder.

HSGI suregrip, 2x kywi pistol, 2x kywi short rifle, ATS small IFAK, Safariland 6378 with 1.5 drop. Draw is good now, might try moving the IFAK up one more row to see if it still clears.

dumb question, how do you post pics?

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

make an account with photobucket or flickr. Then upload which ever site you made and account with. Then copy the [IMG] tag to your post here.

How much does the banshee weigh with the the ar500 plates?

Another good image host is imgur.com
I host mine there, with links to on how to share your pictures.

My gear loadout. Black protective vest and black duty belt are my base gear. I would add additional gear sequentially, and as time permits, in this order:

1. Rifle
2. Chest Rig
3. Swap out duty belt for tactical belt (requires shifting radio)

7.5lbs per plate 2x, 2lbs 5oz for the PC = 17lbs 5oz total.

Updated with a MSM stealth admin pouch, and a general pouch I use for my IFAK, for now. Also got the Ares Armor PC silencer. A lot easier and quicker to get out of. From performing the motions with empty mags, shouldering is fine. I need to get out and train in this now to see if it works well and what needs to change. Do navigation or map reading classes/compass classes exist? Also, I have a Camenga compass but want one that will fit in the pocket with the map. Any ideas on a really good, flat/compact, compass? Thanks.
