Took my new Maxpedition Vulture II on an overnight hike with my buddy the other day. It did very well and held all my gear with room to spare. I highly suggest it for a 3 day pack.

Curahee might not be feeling like it, but I am feeling a little froggy and argumentative. What in the high holy hell are you talking about?? Being AD doesn't give you any advantage whatsoever. I've seen and trained my fair share of AD .Mil-types that couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper sack. The same principle applies to some LEO's as well. On the other hand, I've very much enjoyed training with .Mil / USG / LEO's that have been very squared away. Lemme give you a little help on a few things: 1. There's a metric butt-load of Active Duty, Reserve, and Veterans on this site. Those tank icons are what we call a "Clue". 2. I honestly think I see more ChiCom crap than American made gear. You're carrying IR Chem's, but you don't have any NOD's, and what the hell is with all the rifle ammo?? You going to invade Canada or something?? 3. Your planning needs some serious adjusting. I'd start out be deleting your current plan, and then re-evaluating everything. The whole "LeJune is a few miles away" aspect is WTF x 87. So you're going to hit up LeJune, get resupplied with food that you think may still be there... yeah that's just
4. Finally, your gear is borderline substandard, and its waaaayyy to friggen clean to have been used anywhere else besides a basement. Go take a few classes with that gear and see what happens. I doubt your gear would stand up to a four day class over at EAG, Thunder Ranch, or most other top notch schools. 5. "One MRE is a two day supply"???? Holy Crap.... really??? Best of luck with that one.
Try the BS somewhere else... like over on SOCNET or PS. I'd love to see that happen. There's enough men & women here who have BTDT to smell BS when we see it. Now, since I'm not all about being an ass, I'd like to say a few positive things about your gear. 1. You gear is very clean. 
2. You gear looks good for Bugging IN and hunkering down in a single location. 3. You have nice wood floors. 4. None of your pictures have your toes in them. 
-SS ETA: Since you're claiming you're Active Duty... how about you post a few pictures of you *working*??? I'm so friggen tempted to call Shenanigans and BS. Ok, you love ammo. Do you also love fantasizing about invading Camp Lejeune's pantry Commando style? A skinny (5-9 and 130 certainly qualifies) one-man army going on a non-stop, glorious shooting spree cross-country? All right. Enough hyperbole. Brother, regardless of if you're AD military or not, you're fooling NO ONE if you honestly expect anyone here to believe you can hump all that shit even the 5-10 miles you claim. (and I have serious doubts you've ever done that. There's no sweat stains in all that shiny black gear.) Take the above poster's advice. Scrap any plans to raid or invade any military base––it ain't happening. While you're at it, scrap any plans to engage in any lengthy firefight as an individual. If you want to survive for any length of time while making it to your BOL, stealth, speed, and conflict avoidance are key. Look through these gear threads, and step back and look at what the intended purpose of each is. Look at the occupation of each poster. Get some professional training, most importantly. I think that would demostrate that some of your gear is lacking in certain areas. If SHTF is the primary reason for your gear, take a look at Currahee's site, www.everycitizenasoldier.org. He has some EXCELLENT information there, for novices and pros alike.

Also, is it common to mount the knife on the week side, opposite of the pistol? |

God. Needs MOAR GEAR.
My light rig for .civ training, plinking, etc. -BCM 03 MSF Chest Harness (with 4x AR mags) -Camelbak bladder (for motherfucking WATER) -2x Tactical Tailor Magna-Pistol pouches (with 2x 1911 mags) -Specter Gear pistol mag pouch (for Surefire G2) -Tactical Tailor Multi-Purpose pouch (Cav Arms blow-out kit in main compartment, ear plugs, writing gear, small CLP bottle, magazine speed loader in secondary velcro compartment) -Issued ESS eyepro (so I don't shoot my eye out) 
My USMC crap for when MCMAP won't cut it. -Issued flak (OTV, because I'm not cool and the reserves have no funding) -Tactical Tailor 2-Piece MAV w/X-Harness & center adapter -Issued IFAK on tear-away panel -2x Tactical Tailor Magna-Pistol pouches -Specter Gear pistol mag pouch (for Surefire G2) Changes since photo was taken: -Tactical Tailor Enhanced Admin pouch (way easier to access stuff while standing plus better document organization for maps, rosters, etc.) -2x double rifle mag pouch and one Tactical Tailor double shingle (the shingle allows for handier "emergency" reloads than a third pouch) Belt is a padded Tactical Tailor MOLLE affair. -2x 20-round AR mag shingle (30-round mags interfere with the flak/dug into my side) -2x Specter Gear pistol mag pouch -Maxpedition GP pouch (with small Cav Arms blow-out kit) Changes since photo was taken: -Ditched the Rolly-poly (it didn't retain worth shit––switched back to the Specter Gear dump pouch) -Switched to a Specter Gear Universal holster (for a one-size-fits-all holster, it's hands-down the best I've seen and easily adjustable) EDIT: Oh, and got promoted, so I had to turn in my lance corporal underground I.D.

Apologies to those who have already seen this in another thread.
Posting my everyday man-about-town gear or, as I like to call it, my natural habitat: 
Eagle FSBE Plate Carrier w/ cummerbund from Eagle CIRAS vest because the plate pockets are bigger Eagle MLCS 3 x 2 M4 mag pouch w/ MLCS thumb break strap to retain my least favorite combat pistol, the M9. (3) Eagle FSBE 1 X 2 M4 mag pouches because I forgot my other triple shingles and it's too damned difficult to talk my wife on target to try to get her to find them in the pile o' gear in my garage 8 total PMAGs. 6 w/ M855A1 and 2 w Mk 262 Mod 1. Eagle MLCS Surefire pouch w/ Z2 combat light Eagle GP/Canteen pouch Eagle FSBE MBITR pouch Spectre vertical large GP pouch (combat purse w/ extra batteries, Clif bars/shots, strobe, etc.) Eagle RCO pouch w/ EO Tech (I switch over to the EO Tech when the sun goes down and the NVDs go on) SO Tech SOF IFAK TT vertical E&E pouch used as an admin pouch. Garmin E-trex GPS, chem lites, note book, pens, sharpie marker Mystery Ranch Mystery Cinch (great for that Eagle Patrol (FSBE) pack whose straps keep slipping off the shoulders) BFG tourniquet NOW w/ SOF tourniquet. I carry one more in my IFAK and one in the lower cargo pocket on my FROG trousers. (2) Eagle FSBE CQB double stack pistol mag pouches Eagle FSBE hydration carrier w/ Camelbak 3L bladder Eagle MLCS shoulder pads Standard ESAPI/Side SAPI Standard MICH helmet w/ OpsCore chinstrap and VAS mount, ANVIS battery box and mount w/ homemade retention bungee made from the elastic cord out of the MTAV cummerbund (I knew I'd find a use for that vest!) And for the RARE times that I wear a gun belt: 
BAE Eclipse belt BFG suspenders Eagle MLCS leg shingle (2) Eagle 1 X 2 M4 mag pouches w/ single PMag each. Eagle MLCS 1 x 2 flapped double stack pistol mag pouch. My PC rides too close to use vertical mag pouches and mounting the CQB pouches horizontally has lost me a mag or two. I also lost the horizontal adapator so I just zip tied the pouch sideways. Dump pouch, don't remember what brand. Safariland 6004 holster with, once again, my least favorite combat pistol. I miss my SigG and my 1911A1. No sheath knife, I almost cut my own nuts off with an overly sharpened K-bar that had poked its way through the end of an overly waterlogged lateher sheath. Thus I've not carried a sheath knife for about 20 years. For cutting jobs I use a Benchamade AFO and bandage scissors. If I can't stab you I will clip your fingers and your lips off! 
And before anybody asks, yeah, I've trained, walked around, ran around and fought in this rig.

Dedicated pistol belt, dropped holster, more trauma gear on the 1st and 2nd line, commo gear and the rifle is a complete change I really miss the hat in the first pic Ain't that the truth? As you can see from my post above, I'm still pushing around MLCS gear that I got in '04/'05. Of course that's also because I've still got three kits of it left. BTW: the SWA Cyber center blocks your website over here. The first thing I clicked on was the physical fitness page and then every link after that was blocked by my friendly neighborhood cyber dudes due to what it claims as "possible malicious content." I beleive that means something with the code your site is written in and has nothing to do with the actual wording in it. I'll have to check it out when I get home. |

Since I can run the shoulder straps to where the front and back touch, it is fine. I can see on a thicker person that they may need to add the HSGI WaWee pads to make it comfortable in the long term. I have a 42" chest for comparison, and I run the plates high, just under the sternum notch.
It is no PIG (which I have as well) , but for 1/3 the price, it is probably the best deal around for a straight forward, high quality USA made PC. I paid less than $100 for it by walking directly in to TAG this morning (25% off at the storefront in San Diego). |

The PIG just has more bells and whistles, a better shoulder strap system, more real estate, more configuration options, etc...
The Banshee is a nice rig, and very inexpensive and is USA made, with a lifetime warranty . I Could buy 3 Banshees for the price of a PIG. Either way I am keeping both. |

I see that the pack is attached by QR buckles. Can you un-ass that thing quick enough? Or do you need help (by someone behind you) to drop it? One thing the Doc has learned that many of us have learned: Keep the stuff on your gear that you need for the fight, and only that stuff. Pare that shit down. Everything else goes in the pack. If you get in a firefight, the first thing you should do is un-ass your pack. It's extra weight you don't need in a firefight, and it can mess up your balance at critical times. You can go back and get it later. God––and grunts––love Corpsmen! Semper Fi, Doc! |

One thing the Doc has learned that many of us have learned: Keep the stuff on your gear that you need for the fight, and only that stuff. Pare that shit down. Everything else goes in the pack. If you get in a firefight, the first thing you should do is un-ass your pack. It's extra weight you don't need in a firefight, and it can mess up your balance at critical times. You can go back and get it later. God––and grunts––love Corpsmen! Semper Fi, Doc! I have one on order, would have never known about them if Doc hadn't posted it. I was thinking about rigging up a Camelbak Hawg in a similar fashion, but this will be much better. Here's a video of how easily you can access it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLnHPS1j5eA S/F Drew |

Thanks guys, but I am not a Corpsman, I am a RN.
Anyways, I am a fan of keeping the rig simple and carrying more supplies in a pack. I do not have the need or desire to carry a full combat load on my chest. The pack QR works better than other designs I have tried and the pack is stiff enough to ride well and not flop around. |

Ha, fair enough. You will like this pack though, and the folks at Ares Armor are awesome to deal with.

trickpony, you need to buy yourself a fucking membership and come over to the military forum.
in related news, i had a TAG MAP that i liked but didnt like having it MOLLEd to my back. i used the compression straps and put female field expedient buckles onto the PALS on the back of my MTV and used it like that, same thought process as the ARES pack but can be applied to other small packs. |
