One's set up for my Kel-Tec Sub2k/Sig 226 combo.<br />Another could EASILY handle a 16"Bbl carbine broken down.<br /><br />I also have a large "fanny pack" that holds 2 water-bottles along with mags, FAK & etc.<br /><br />Nalgene/aluminum water-bottles can be "silenced" through creative use of baggies or even "dry" condoms as "liners." purge the air and collapse the "liner" as you drink to prevent "sloshing" noises - or carry a "collapsible" cup and share a bottle among all so there's no partial-bottles to make noise...<br /><br />Thoughts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-18420667463871312172011-05-20T21:05:03.279+01:002011-05-20T21:05:03.279+01:00I'm going to e-mail Mike a few photos--I have ...I'm going to e-mail Mike a few photos--I have an improvised rig for stripper clips, and I'm sure it'll be of interest for a lot. I'm thinking it'll do best in with other such things as a praxis post though.<br /><br />Funny, word verification is "preptics."

Dropping ~$100 on just an ammo+ bag is nuts. <BR/><BR/>Might I suggest surplus US or combloc stuff? It's gobs cheaper. Or if you're a garage sale peruser, camera bags can be had for a buck or less... Then there are cargo pants/BDU's found on sale...<BR/><BR/>I'll spend my few extra $$ on surplus gear, ammo and food, etc., thank you very much. For less than a C note, I can afford gas to the local surplus store, outfit a couple of folks with that type of gear and still take the little lady out for dinner.<BR/><BR/>bobcatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-40962763775784631512009-01-11T21:06:00.000+00:002009-01-11T21:06:00.000+00:00I heartily disagree. just "Rifle and Ammo" is nev...I heartily disagree. just "Rifle and Ammo" is never enough. A VOK, H2O and some minor food are always required. Even in Urban/Suburban areas, you might have to hide in ambush beside a road and moving will not be an option, so some water is in order. Some one might get shot, duh.<BR/>Magazines, should be collected if possible after use :-), as they will be in limited supply, +1 for the SKS and Garand shooters. There are also some things that are nice to have even in the suburban jungle, like a crowbar, remember all that free food and water around, those that abandon their homes to get out of the way of the fighting will lock the door, sure you can shoot the lock off, but you attract a lot of attention. <BR/>There is a reason, even with logistics and supply, that "regular" .mil, carry a bunch of crap.<BR/><BR/>I think the sneaky bag is a much better alternative, to a ammo only load out.Hollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485244792426813497noreply@blogger.com
