First of all, pay very close attention to the posts from Cyberraven and Resqman. It's good advice.<br><br>Let me add a few things....<br>1. The "Y" harness sucks and should have never replaced the old "H" harness. Get one of those if you absolutely must have military gear.<br><br>2. GI anglehead flashlights suck. You can find something better. You should find something better.<br><br>3. Why do need a vest AND web gear (the harness)? <br><br>4. If you MUST have military style gear, get a large ALICE pack, not the medium. I have carried both, for many, many, many miles and will take a large anyday. They hold more, are more comfortable and they require a frame, thus preventing the folly attempting to carry the medium pack without one. How do I know this? Trust me, I know this.<br><br>5. Get rid of ALL of your ALICE clips. They are of the devil. I have scars (plural) from the !@#$%^ things. Replace them with cord or wire ties. Again, this is if you MUST have military style gear.<br><br>6. 36 Triox bars? How do fit all of the marshmallows in the ruck? <br><br>7. BDU's are great....if they fit. They also come colors other than camo. I like the khakis, not the desert camo, the khakis. They are are less likely to "spook the horses" and if you wear one pair in the field for long enough they become camoflaged (dirt, blood, grease, etc...).<br><br>8. As for the gun, I vote for the .22. Ammo is lightweight, cheap and ubitquitous (sp?). Anyone who may question it's stopping power obviously has not heard of a brilliant technique to double (shoot twice), triple (shoot three times) or even increase it more (you should have the idea by now).<br>I reccomend Taurus's new 62A. It holds 15 rounds, is fairly accurate and breaks down into two easily carried and hidden pieces.<br><br>That is all.<br>Ade
