the poncho liner is the greatest military invention ever. But other stuff, not so great.
the only part of my gear that's milsurp is the ALICE pack and BOBelt, and even worn together there's no way anyone's going to confuse me with military or LE; what with all the rations i keep around my middle.
i don't wear any surplus or tacticool clothing, preferring jeans and a t-shirt most of the time.
