Don't forget the paracord...

 

*Just to confirm, I've seen a lot of new pics of SEAL's training and training others greenside at U.S. bases and they still sport woodland BDU's. I'm not hallucinating-right?

 

No. You're not. Woodland works in the woods. Surprise surprise. Thus, it is worn.

Is the founder Chris Osman(cowriter for the new seal book)? I knew he had something to do with TAG and he was a marine then a SEAL.

 

If by had something to do with, you mean CEO, then yes

 

 

Reading must be one of these newfangled ideas

Looks, good, who makes your sling?

 

Thanks. Made by Close Quarters Defense (CQD). Same makers of the CQD front and rear sling mounts issued on MK 18's and Navy M4 CQBR's, M4's that you all have. It's a single/dual point sling used a lot with said rifles. You can see pics of the sling used by the OP: Redwing crew.

 

*Fact: TAG CEO Chris Osman was with the 1st BN-11th Marines and then SEAL Team 3.

Well, considering we don't have jack *suitcase* in the modern equipment lineup that's supposed to work in more lush areas, M84 Woodland is still the way to go.

 

Just like how there's still plenty of ALICE gear used for greenside recon, since the MLCS H-harness doesn't really fit everyone (as I was disappointed to learn the hard way).

 

 

Actually like the USMC alot fo kit has gone to shades of brown MJK, Coyote, etc.it is good in both desert and non Arid enviroments. So yeah we have kit that is for the more "lush" areas it's called Coyote Brown. And before anyone trys to call BS I can attest from first hand knowledge as in..I have Been there done that and CB works well in Wooded enviroments and goes just fine with woodland cammies. The Coyote kit works just as good as OD..now if you wanna get all technical right now there is nothing I have seen for a really green enviroment better than TW CADPAT hands down. Again I have seen this 1st person non airsoft as well when the Canadians were down during a JTE with Army.

I'm pretty sure he was a ranger. He said something in the preface of the book about not wanting to write the book because he was upset about a recent mission where some rangers were killed while they were working with SEALs.

 

That was the co-author, Mir Bahmanyar.... maybe you should have read all of the preface ;)

That's what I was getting at. MARPAT is good for ground-level camo in lush areas because the brown works really well with rocks, dead leaves, and dirt, and the green works well with grasses and low growth. TW CADPAT is what I was kind of pointing in the direction of: it fits the niche for really really really green environments. Sadly, we no longer wage wars in pretty places anymore.

 

I still wish everyone just went with MARPAT instead of using different branch-specific camo. :(

Did you remove try to remove the middle- waist piece? The way the hardware is set up allows you to in case you're on the small size.

I did, the fit still sucks. When you go down from 5 straight panels to 4, you create hot spots. It feels like you're wearing a box the wrong way. Plus you lose real estate. I hate being small. :(

 

I'll stick to my ALICE setup. When I get a belt pad for it, I'll post up pictures.

Many thanks for posting the kitlist soren. I've got to admit that at first I wasn't too sure on what vest/rig you were running, although I realised that the buckles reminded my of the low vis rig that goes with the Hugger - just wasn't sure. Once again, very impressive kit! You say it's a WIP, what's missing if you don't mind me asking?
