HardCoil Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 -When you carry your cellphone in a pistol mag pouch - one on your belt and one on the shoulder straps of you maxpedition backpack (seriously, it's way better than any normal cell-phone pouches). -When you have to decide which camelback to put in your backpack every time the GF wants you to go anywhere. -When "MOLLE compatibility" is the most important feature for any and all out-door purchases.

dacanadianbomb Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 You might be a geardo if : You have 4 molle vests, but still get new stuff for your LBE harness, cus you might need it sometime. You carry one or two duffle bags to a game with only tac gear, cus your gonna decide on your loadout after "you check the lay of the land and opponents strength" You can simulate the loadout of pretty much every NATO country. You know the precise amount of mags from which AEG series will fit in which tacgear companies pouches, and which ones are magpul compatible You know the precise MOLLE/PALS webbing spacing etc. numbers.In metric and imperial. You know exactly how many channels and rows of every large size tacgar producers mag , GP and utility pouches will take up. You start long complicated discussions on whether a piece is more Khaki than Tan or Coyote Brown. You start making your own gear with your moms sewing machine, cus nobody makes exactly what you are looking for. If mid size gear stores know your address and name off by heart. If larger gear stores start telling you that it might be better to open a resellers account for you. Link to post Share on other sites

" Nice, what are you planning on making exactly? A normal lineup of pouches or vests and other high speed gear ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will be starting with pouches because BHI don't do pouches in DPM/Desert unless you order 50. I made a chalker sling adapter for Agent47 a while back, similar to this one for my M4, which was an adaptation of the L85 sling. Generally, I haven't had the money to buy the kit that I need so I've had to learn to make what I want. Link to post Share on other sites
