HaVoC Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 This thread is basically my worst nightmare. I'm coming into a substantial sum of free cash soon (thank you, university grants) and I wanted to put most of it towards a freefall course, but oh no, smokey greeny goodness just has to tempt me away. Oh god, oh god no. I'm not sure I can withstand the temptation. I hate you all, and I hate Paraclete for designing such an awesome looking rig. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Awesome RAVs on this page so far. Purly awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. Shadow Fox Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 This makes me feel like I need to trade up for a Ranger Green Pantac RAV and cover it with smoke green so you cant tell the difference. My thoughts exactly. Luckily mine is so dirty that it looks smoke green anyways. Link to post Share on other sites

tom lawson Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You can resell a RAV, you can't resell classes... Yeah, but once you're a fullied qualified skydiver you can make money back by packing 'chutes. (It won't ever be much, but its something) Plus freefall is so damn awesome!

And it should be. I would kill to go on a real jump, but I am under 18 so I had to settle for the wind tunnel. Still fun as hell though Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Kinnaird Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Here is mine: Right to left on the cummerbund: 2X double M4 mag pouches triple 9mm pistol mag pouch double M4 mag pouch upright general purpose pouch with carabineer and SOF tournie 2X frag pouches upper chest: firing system pouch back: RAV zip-off pouch back panel with 3L camelbak stashed in the hydro slot. Im currently in the process of really re-working this rig. I would like to get a woodland or smoke green firing system pouch, two TXI shingles to go under the cummerbund, a TXII shingle to go on the cummerbund, and MBITR pouch.

HaVoC Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is the IFAK alright back there on the rear panel? I know it's used to treat YOU, rather than you using it to treat someone else, but it still looks inaccessible. If you were shot and laid out on your back, your team mates would have to roll you over once to pull out the stuff inside, if not more than once, depending on how you've packed it.

If you were shot and laid out on your back, your team mates would have to roll you over once to pull out the stuff inside, if not more than once, depending on how you've packed it. Its there because thats just the way it was made on the back panel. I may decide to get a paraclete SOF aid pouch in the front, or a small medical pouch for like a hemo dressing or something. Having it on the back there isnt as in-accessable as I first thought before I got it. I can manage to open it and feel around easily for what Im getting. Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench Bender Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 If you get hit in a firefight you will be moved around most likely out of harms way even before the leak gets plugged. Sp having to move you to access your blowout kit will be rather small compared to being dragged or man packed out of the line of fire. Link to post Share on other sites

Castle Bravo Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Because these photos are from about 5 years ago, the specifics of why I had what setup where are lost to me, but nevertheless, some RAV Photos. - HSGI holster, Recce Gear dump pouch, (In the back) the rest is Paraclete. All Paraclete All Paraclete I remember some of these had the contact email address listed on the tag as "Paracle777@aol.com" Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Castle Bravo and Kinnaird, stunningly awesome RAV's. Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench Bender Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Fair enough. I didn't realise it was actually designed as an IFAK - I assumed you'd just drawn the cross on there and designated it as such. Wrench Bender, very true mate, but surely if a guy goes down and he's in a position where moving him at all is going to be life-threatening (bullet lodged somewhere awkward, say, or a broken neck), having to roll him to access his IFAK would be a bad thing? Not arguing, just wondering why Paraclete designed it to sit right back there. There are different ways to move people who are injured, I only have basic life saving skills as were needed for my duties in the service but those are some of the skill sets I remember. As for why Paraclete put it there, all I can say is it was most likely end user requested. Link to post Share on other sites

As for why Paraclete put it there, all I can say is it was most likely end user requested. The concept of putting it there, and back panels in general also have got a bit of history too, starting with the PBPV II and AWS DA vest. And if anyone was wondering, here was where I got my inspiration for putting the camelbak in panel slot. http://www.specwargear.com/images/armor&am...0customed-2.jpg That looks like a DCU 3L secured with a carabineer to the drag handles, and the hydro is between the velcro on the vest and the back panel (assuming the early Paraclete DA didnt have a hydro slot).

Azulsky Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Because the side with the velcro and the seam created by the two flaps should be facing up, which would then orient the padding side down on your shoulders... All you guys suck because i am going to have to get one now too. There is a pic of a SF guy somewhere and he has 6 mags going across behind the bund, is he just a big guy or do most people restrict to 4 mags back there. I realize that would entail 2 of the triple pouches with the velcro on both sides Link to post Share on other sites
