Counting Count

It's an awful lot easier when there's site photographers, though it poses the problem of posers who try to hog the camera

No such thing as "first line" in my opinion... PLCE thats missing the radio pouch on my yoke and bayonet frog at the small of my back. '58 pattern webbing heavy on the '58 and '44 waterbottle pouches. Top is my light '58 belt and holster often with a kidney pouch, bottom is a PLCE belt and holster with a single utility, usually used while supervising. Sent from a smartphone... and?

Not tried a PC for a while prefered my old webbing but have aquired a clone PC and added a few Trojan pouches as well as a bit of "holly green" spray in the old skool way of painting. You can see why it got a spray of holly green... it was a little too tan! Sent from a smartphone... and?

Very Old Skool rig used during directing, '68 pattern jacket and trousers, modded boonie and '58 belt with kidney pouches to hold spares for hire equipment. Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2

Cheers, I'll have a look into a clone. As I'm in the UK sourcing a SILS loop 6004 / 6005 / 6285 is more awkward than the current fashion SERPA and clones, which frankly is a PITA when the suppliers charge more for an order. Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2

I'd just like to know what mods he had to do to a SERPA to assist in the retention of a TM.... At the mo. I just have a nice stock TM 17 usually in either a '58 or PLCE holster (why fix what aint broke) with optional m6 but I'd like to try a SERPA before shelling out for 6004 / Safariland.

Its all that wind damaged grasses and the like, mind if you ask the Penguins just about anything work's OK....

Just a few shots of what's stacked in some boxes (that's just out of 2 boxes, I've got two more, not including the webbing, vest and bergan boxes)those Smocks (windproof arctic) with the yellow / orange sliders are my usual umpiring jackets. Just excuse herself's poor reading material... silly formulaic dross by an average author... As you can tell I do quite like the old faithful DPM, Tropicals, DDPM (Windproof, tropical and '95 cut), Barrack wear (lightweights and OG shirts / Heavyweight jerseys), Cold weather gear, the only thing that you could class as a flier is the Bundewher OG

Very nice, very nice, it is normal, however where a scrim net is used for foliage, that the elastic foliage loops are removed from the cover. Here's some (very old) pics, it seems that one of me in full dessie with the stable belt is the newest one I have. Far left hand (as you look at it) last time I bothered blousing at the top of the boots, prior to a staff / regulars v's everyone else game (the two with SLR's and Baldy in the middle were the staff). Prior to a game a few years back fiddling with a tennis ball (which came in useful as an impromtu grenade later on, cle

Oh noes SEALS (Can I has a fish now plz?) I'll have to see i I can dig a few more out, though you may notice they are all quite old...

In games are fine, actually putting the stuff on an posing? nope, kind of feels set up, anyway I reckon there's enough of me on here from an umpiring session a few pages back in dessies from last year. I am knowledgeable about the kit and set ups, with the experience of the later stuff as well, however I really can't stand stitch counters and standing up in gear like a glorified clothes horse.

I gotta admit I'm looking at the pic on a USB dongle here... (with basic 3g not the good stuff) either way its stonking up, kind of makes me want to pull my '68 and the like out for use, though I may pass on it... Don't like having pictures taken posing.

You sure about that Voodoo? Kind of seems more per mer to me... though the resolution on the connection is atm shocking...

Very nice , Obi, the '14 reminds me more of either the Aussies or Kiwi's though, not sure why, but it will come to me at a later date, and knowing my luck it'll be about 0200.

Whoops, forgot about you Jazzy, with the kudos . OK I'd prefer to see more PWRR, Royal Irish / Welsh, Guards, OK to be honest I'd prefer to see more Royals, but people have this media based thing about a set of wings and red hats (with the lack of brains to go with them).

Its always sunny, when your either going up to or leaving the area, that is. Skalp, excellent photo's nearly had to double take with a couple, just get the webbing and Assault vests a little dirtier and you won't be perfect but will be closer the many British air softers ever get,

Most of these are pretty old (Older than the ones in dessies... most are a mix of desert, tropical and regular dpm, and differing patterns there's so few shots of me with whatever set up I have on the day as I'm naturally camera shy. (more like I normally stay away from camera toting people and I now umpire!)

the sidearm holster can be mounted on a PLCE belt, with and without the cover flap, on the rear of either an issue or compatable holster will be the pull the dots and T bar locking / locating units, generally you are issued (if you required a sidearm prior to the new fashion) a holster and shoulder loop set, normally pre connected, and usually advertised as a "Shoulder holster" on ebay and the like, even though its got more capability.

Yes we do don't we... mind you now I mostly end up working with someone who's ex RHA using simulated mortars a la the last picture, or walking round shouting at people, its been ohh almost 6 months since I last played... the joys of being promoted to a club official

My Usual get up now... DPM & Hi Vis wear... L110A2 & All Arms Vest (plus Black hat) L85A2 (A1 Handguard) Just Before I murder some poor person (him with the Camera) Playing with an M11A1 (US Designation) BTW the Caption on the Forum for this pic was "In the immortal words of Dave Lee Travis - John You are a dead man" Providing Mortar Support during a game

It all depends who is doing the supplying... I've come across officers supplied by the US with an M9 sidearm and random others but if its from our supply lines it will be either a MkIII Hi Power or a P226. I've also come across squaddies being issued P226's for FIBUA operations so for an infantryman its not so strange a piece of kit.

That Plate carrier is an Osprey Vest, available on Ebay (Search Osprey Armour cover) Flecktarn.co.uk and quite a few other surplus / militaria sites, the backpack (most likely) will be a standard Bergen in Olive green (slightly out as its olive most infantry are issued with DPM ones, or now Desert DPM) as for the smock you can search for SAS Smock in Desert DPM or go for an Arctic Windproof in Desert DPM. for your radio set up you will need either a converted Bowman PRR Headset or a Cavalvy Toto(?) Frogman headset. Hope this helps.

Down the front of your smock / shirt (making sure the waist is tied / tucked in) is the best option unless your wearing some form of body armour, and in most assault vests you've got a pair of general "dump" pouches either side of the vest (ususally used for a sidearm or map). I really don't see the point (unless you're wearing CBA / ECBA / Osprey etc.) of using a dump pouch just use a clay bag or a ressie bag, though that's my opinion its up to the individual though...
