Gear

Do you ever think you have too much gear? I am reconfiguring my battle belt for the thousandth time. I think I figured it out this time.

Pictures coming soon once everything that needs paint is painted and set.

I did get a new plate carrier. I got the Grey Ghost Gear minimalist plate carrier. This PC is far more comfortable than my old PC. I am looking into a UW Gear chest rig to kind of layer my gear. My hope is that this approach will balance my load out. UW Gear is right in my backyard making high quality lightweight gear. I think their design is genius because of its simplicity. I don't own any of their gear. You don't need to own it to know it's high quality. Just look at it. I really dig the Swamp Fox rig!

If you're a gun guy/girl/whatever, and have ever heard of YouTube, you've probably seen the MAC (Military Arms Channel). He did a review on the UW Gear Bandoleer (I want one of those, too)

Check it out!

I've had the opportunity to meet these guys. They're good people with good knowledge and a drive to equip the prepared citizen with gear that meets their needs.

If this sounds like an advertisement so be it. 





I guess this was my way of saying that it looks like I have some more gear to buy.

Task Force Black

Yeah...the name could be much better but you get the point.

TFB is a mix of SAS/Brit Spec Ops, Delta Force (underrated IMHO), and SEAL Team Six operators who cut their teeth in Iraq.

"Task Force Black was used to take out al-Qaeda in Iraq during the Iraq War, and they plan a similar approach against Islamic State, one that uses intelligence to undergird efforts to take out the Islamic State command structure. This will include capturing certain persons in the command structure for interrogation, leading to more intelligence for Task Force Black operations."

Whether or not you agree with the war in Iraq you have to admit that the Special Operations guys were integral in dismantling al-Qaeda's command structure.

 Part of me was hoping ISIS would try something in the US - like a widespread "invasion" just so we could put them in the ground. I was not the only guy who wanted ISIS to try something.


Aside from this news - Hopefully, I'll be able to post more regularly since work has calmed down. I should have some pictures up later in the week showing my new battle belt and PC additions.
