DIY ACH High Cut Mod. Would not do again--it was time consuming, yet annoyingly enjoyable. The only upside is cost overall invested, and being able to set it up with exactly what components I wanted.

I modified the straps on a hydration carrier for that setup. I clip the carrier in top/bottom on the harness to keep it stable without having more shoulder straps. For patrolling with no ruck/pack. |

After years of being skeptical of high cut helmets, I finally decided to pick one up. This guy was delivered on Thursday:  Team Wendy "Epic Specialist". Huge improvement over my old ACH. Lighter, more comfortable and adjustable, and certainly works better with electronic ear pro. Now to figure out what covers fit it, and how to afford the accessories it "needs". |

Originally Posted By Propblast: Are those actual CRYE's? And what are the Tigers you are rocking in your other post? No, both are Chinese knock offs. I call 'em my Chi-Cryes. I have some actual Crye stuff in MC and MC Tropic, but don't feel like dropping the coin needed for their Woodland or Tiger stuff. Overall, the knock offs aren't bad. The Woodland set is Emerson gear, and the Tigers are Helikon-Tex for the top, Krydex for the pants. I'd say the Emerson Gear stuff is better than Krydex or Helikon-Tex, but it's a minor difference. |

For context it's my current gear to spend a couple weeks chasing artillery in the field. My stuff has been changing consistently over the years trying different things and finding what I like and don't like. Vest- Gear Dynamics Split Patrolling Rig, Crye mag pouches, HSGI IFAK, issued gas bag and mask, Carcajou Tac sustainment pouch (L & R) with Sorde dump pouch, Eagle TQ pouches, Carcajou Thermacell pouch and cells, Firstspear Nalgene pouch, HGG admin panel and Crye GP. Helmet- nothing fancy, issued CM735 (but with Skydex pads, sssshh secret) Mystery Ranch SATL- holds a bunch of shit like cook set, rain gear, solo tent, water, ablution kit, and a day or so of food Issued ruck- big dry bag with extra combats, a ton of socks and underwears, spare boots or NEOS, sleeping gear, and space to add more mission gear. On the outside are a Thermarest pad, and Mystery Ranch ripzip pouches with a British MTP basha and issued bivvy bag, so in a pinch I'm not stuffing wet camp stuff into my dry bag stuff. I'm still looking out for an AOR2 pack smaller than the SATL to fit in vehicles with me and still carry shit like a large clipboard and a Jetboil. The essentials

I'm in the whole setup(minus the bayonet and TT-33) ~$85. It's lighter and less bulky than a equivalent ALICE setup but the NVA used it in a different way, the pack comes off and rides in the units kampfwagen(6x6 truck) or BMP/BTR so you generally only wear the Y harness and what's on the belt(IFAK/multi tool, mag pouch×4 mags, bayonet, small ammo pouch, pistol w/spare mag). Inside the pouch is a strichtarn jacket, full mess kit, hygiene kit, weapons cleaning kit, bug net, poles/stakes, gas mask/filters, cordage, and a ground cloth. The only downsides are it doesn't hold the pouches securely in place, it's less supportive in the belt, and the canteen is maybe a whole quart. Might get a second canteen and carry two.

I need an under quilt for cooler nights. Any ideas on that would be nice, but I really only take it out a couple times a year. Great freaking look out point we found, but if you got out of the hammock the wrong side, it was a long ways down. Attached File |

Lost my Princeton Tech red headlamp somewhere in the expanse of wilderness. Decided to try a ghetto fix, instead of making a $50 Amazon order. Went to NAPA and got a $4 roll of red tape used to repair cracked red brake light housings. Three layers provides a good red filter for a white light you already own. Attached File |
