mysl1 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 There's nothing wrong with the green MICH, there are pics around of SEALs wearing ones on deployment. Hah! No need for whitehawk to commit harakiri Link to post Share on other sites
korea115 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 What other backpacks do SEALs use besides the Camelbak HAWG. I'm trying to find one to complete my MJK RRV. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 What other backpacks do SEALs use besides the Camelbak HAWG. I'm trying to find one to complete my MJK RRV. How about you just get the Eagle Spine MAP? It comes in MJK and is issued in the MLCS kit. Link to post Share on other sites
asniperkill Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nice stuff Mario! Small tip though. Most pics of seals that ive seen have the mk13 flare covered with black electric tape on the just the tube. Link to post Share on other sites
owmanthathurt Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 i would just spray the whole thing down with OD as it stands out really bad for obvious reasons. Link to post Share on other sites

MarioCK Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 thaks for the tips guys, mk 13 is now attached with plastic zip bands - its temporary as I'm waiting for the kydex sheath for my sog to arrive. I will probably attach it with electric tape later. As far as sprying the kit is considered, so far I have sprayed ALICE pouches with brown krylon. LBT pouches are new and I didn't have time to paint them yet. Some pics of the SOG and "working - dummy" of Mk 13 NOTE: I'm not wearing the uniform from the first pic-the Budwisser and Branch tape are for "decoration" purposses only Link to post Share on other sites
asniperkill Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I bought the same knife, and asked if it came with a kydex sheath before I bought it. Was told yes, got it home and found a nylon sheath... Could you send me a link of the sheath your getting? I need one pretty bad. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The kydex sheaths pop up on eBay all the time - failing that, there is the 25% code I posted up on CR. Link to post Share on other sites

zarda999 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've been thinking about an OTB loadout for my next kit. Here is a list of what I have and am considering using: Weapons: 226 M4a1(Desert worn) -203 -ACOG -PEQ(?) -MLCS signal on the stock for "survival gear"(read batteries) WC top and bottom (Should I use a WC combat shirt?) Belt Boonie UDT vest Belt kit: Eagle belt pad (blk) USIA Dry drop (OD for Demo supplies) OMEGA IV (blk) Carabiner (Link to the team in the water) Protec hanging from belt ID panel Second Line: Eagle TAC V1 (mesh OD) MULE (DCU zip-tied to attachments on vest) 12 STANG Mags GPS (.mil waterproof kind) 3x226 mags On the way: Radio (MBITR?) Fins (Kind?) Knife sheath with Mk13 zip-tied on Suggestions appreciated. I used the Somalia photos for a half-reference. -Ryan Link to post Share on other sites
MarioCK Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 @ asniperkill The guy who sold me the knife sent it in a nylon sheath and he is making up for his fok up and sending me the kydex one. Link to post Share on other sites

Personal preference dood...wear what is most comfortable Belt Boonie UDT vest Belt kit: Eagle belt pad (blk) USIA Dry drop (OD for Demo supplies) Unless your carrying simulated demo why bother? OMEGA IV (blk) Carabiner (Link to the team in the water) Protec hanging from belt This is just useless and more ###### you will have on you that you really don't need. ID panel Do you mean VS17 panel? Second Line: Eagle TAC V1 (mesh OD) MULE (DCU zip-tied to attachments on vest) 12 STANG Mags it's stanag mags, and we don't call them that. STANAG is a NATO "Standardization Agreement" for us they are just AR mags. GPS (.mil waterproof kind) This is good to have if your in a HUGE filed...if not..again not necessary 3x226 mags On the way: Radio (MBITR?) Well there isn't a 152 replica yet so MBITR is your best bet. Fins (Kind?) Rocket Fins Knife sheath with Mk13 zip-tied on Suggestions appreciated. I used the Somalia photos for a half-reference. Which Somalia photos did you use? If it the one I am thinking of..those aren't SEALS. -Ryan And you guys where talking about the Kydex sheath for the SEAL PUP, it is garbage just buy an aftermarket sheath. The Kydex sheath is not really compatible with anything..just a pain. I ditched mine long ago for that reason. I bought a SPEC-OPS T.H.E sheath for my SEAL PUP I was issued for Iraq.

PlasticMag Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ooo... I've got a PRC152 water bottle from a trade show... If I use that, does that make me a legit SEAL type? Giggity. Link to post Share on other sites
navymp28 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 PRC 152's are the new hotness...not everyone is useing them AFAIK. Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Anasek, that Sig looks shady... like you bought it out of the back of a truck or something. mp28, spot on with the excessive gear comments. Unless you're putting a real 'end of the world' loadout together, or you plan on posing only, don't waste your money on gucci points. Granted, I'm coming from a pure practicality point of view, but that's also how I operate. Minimalistic, low drag, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
zarda999 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks navy. Yeah the field where we play is about 500 acres in west Texas... I am the demo guy hence the demo bag . Yeah the protec was incase we went into any old farm buildings... I think I might drop it because it slaps my *albatross* to much. Yeah the VS-17 chopped into like a 4x4 square on my belt for IFF. -RYan Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 ... Either wear the protec, or don't. You're not going to have time to swap it out in the middle of a fight. And if you're gonna wear a UDT vest and fins during this uber-deadly direct action... Wait. Never mind. Here's the test: If you can swim with all that ###### on, wear fins. Otherwise, don't bother.

Yeah the VS-17 chopped into like a 4x4 square on my belt for IFF. -RYan Ryan- #1.) Like it was said by a few others that reasoning for the protec is pointless...and I am glad you are taking it off..good rule of thumb. Gear for gear's sake is no bueno. #2.) From my experience with VS-17 panels you use them less for IFF and more for marking your flanks to fire support, and signaling aircraft (Which is a no duh seeing as how it is a VF-17 Ground to Air signal panel) Use 550 cord and attach it to your rig where it can be shoved into a pouch to keep it hidden until needed or attach to shoulder pocket's to mark your flanks. But you can use it for what you need for Airsoft..but be aware...that is REALLY bright I can track my guys when they are on deck in dense foliage easily from over 150 meters...which is WAY past Airsoft ranges...so you would be easily seen and tracked.

zarda999 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I got the panel today and damn that thing even small it's bright. I might make 1 inch velcro squares and jam a 4x4 in the MULE. -Ryan Link to post Share on other sites
