Dedicated Gear/Kit Forum

[Send Help]

Just suggesting creating a separate forum under 'The Arsenal' for everything gear/kit, whether it be for what shooters wear to the range to what is worn for work, and even kept to the side for an active shooter scenario. It would be a good section to start as people who want to build up their range gear and/or professional kit could learn and interact with each other on brands/etc. they like. This would be my most used forum as I'm constantly changing and testing gear for work. I'm sure everyone, including myself could learn a wealth of knowledge in this area.

If this is beating a dead horse, I apologize as I couldn't find a dedicated section just to gear not pertaining to attachments on firearms.

I think it's a good idea but I'm just an LTWS shit poster with a fetish for precision rifles. I've worn full kit and I ain't doing it unless someone is paying me or things are so bad it's time to toss cash in the trash and seek food/ammo/booze. I prefer being ignored to being armored!

Most of this sort of thing currently goes in the Depot but I think you are on to something.

I'll start off with pictures of the Pink Taktikewl TuTu. & army boots!

Being ignored over being armored is definitely the way to go and we need to keep booze a priority. I may have to search the depot then because I couldn't find much. Maybe I can't read, probably that.

The search function is not amazing as it is pretty specific to the search word but there's some threads in various subforums to be found. A long running thread on body armor deals, a couple on other gear, and we have a few bag whores here too.

If we say 'gear', the boys will think we're talking about Marijuana...

I'd think you meant construction equipment if we were out in the field. If we were in a bar, I'd assume you had spotted a tranny and it was time to change bars.

It's quite possible this is something I should think about and consider more, but I don't.

I have a range bag full of stuff for when I go to the range, and various ammo boxes for what I plan to shoot that day.

My range bag usually includes, but is not limited to:

-- First aid kit - nothing I put together, but one I bought with some bandages and antiseptic wipes
-- Extra Magazines
-- A few random tools - Allen wrenches, small screwdrivers
-- Gun cleaning/lubricating products - I have an aerosol can of CLP, FP-10, TW25b, Hoppes grease and oil
-- Hoppes bore snakes
-- Cleaning brushes
-- Extra magazines
-- Extra eye/ear protection
-- Empty chamber flags

Otherwise? I don't have a "kit" per-se. Should I?

There's nothing wrong with any of that. In fact, I think you're better prepared than most, especially with bringing along first aid. I personally had a similar setup before I enlisted and ultimately ended up where I am now. I typically shoot in a "full" getup (belt, plate carrier, sometimes helmet with the green-eyes) because for me, unless I'm carrying concealed I will be wearing at least a belt. Since then I've gone full dingdong and just like using the gear I currently use/may have to use.

I forgot a couple of things! I also have a folder of home-printed targets that are printed on card stock, a staple gun, and extra staples. I just recently bought a second staple gun that's dedicated to the range bag due to leaving it at home by accident once because I'd used it for a project.

I have a pair of Mechanix gloves that I bought when I went to SLC in January of 2019 to keep my hands warm when we were training outside, but those are way too porous to be worth a dang in the cold - something I didn't realize at the time I bought them, but they'd be nice to have if the SHTF.

I suppose if all else fails, I at least still have some OCPs, ACUs and a good pair of combat boots, but none of my OCIE. I don't wear any of that to the range though.

Maybe add a spotting scope, the small chapman screw driver set, and a lead sled if shooting the big stuff. What ever you need to remove a breach plug from your muzzleloader to use a bore snake/clear squibs.
