Not referring to new LBVs or rucks, but rather team level equipment? If so- please have a wish-list in this thread, rank ordering what you need, and giving a short two or three sentence justification for why APC should provide it, before Christmas. Also include how many people the gear would be regularly used by, and whether you need instructor support initially for said gear. I'm not promising you will get your request fulfilled, however we are actively working out budgeting for the next year and want the full picture. You can post up questions as needed. Thanks much! |

Wishlist: Compass Climbing gear For 6-8 people. Justification: 2023 plan includes land nav and mountaineering for our candidates. We are poors, and would like to be able to provide the correct gear to people for training. Hard for many people to budget travel for this kind of activity, would like to be able to offer locally. We have people who can instruct, but may not do things same way as APC. PS: Please no APC snowshoes  |

Thanks much! 1) steel targets and stands. To be used to create recurring APC 2 gun match for marketing APC, cap off instructional events, or create a mini Warfighter challenge. 2) ropes, ropes for swiss seats, carabiner, skedco. To be used for hosting basic mountaineering class, SAR scenarios. 3-8 people. We have instructor support available if conditions remain as discussed. 3) wire obstacles, tools, ppe. 3-6 people. Would need instructor support. 3.1)would like additional instructor support on constructing survivability positions, obstacles, and basic engineering as per Pioneer Task Book. 4)Chainsaw? and ppe? We're pioneers and I hate trees. None of these items will be needed before Christmas but will be utilized in spring and quarterly thereafter. Thanks |

Would the targets be transported to and from, setup each time for use, or setup and left? Do you have a place available to store all this equipment? It looks like we are talking about potentially two pallets worth of gear. |

PS: Please no APC snowshoes We can recommend some compass options (a functional compass for navigation can be had for under 20 dollars, and that is most certainly an individual item each person should own). The climbing gear should not be a problem. Please confirm you have a relatively secure place to store the mountaineering equipment when not in use? Also, we can get you printable, properly scaled for standard printer paper, PDFs of maps for your preferred training locations. Let us know. |

I have secure storage could fit 2-4 standard storage totes. Affordable compass options would be appreciated. Maps of the training area would also be helpful. We have a ton of National Forest, what would be ideal AO acreage and terrain? |

It looks like we are talking about potentially two pallets worth of gear. @ben the targets will be transported to and from each time. The primary location for the mini events and post instructional events from line 1 is a national grassland. the smaller marketing 2 gun events can take place on my land but will ideally take place on a large range nearby. I have indoor storage space that can accomodate. |
