On topic: i see how you put the buckles on your pouches. Isnīt it hard to get the pouch open this way?
Brother I have some camo spray paint here at the swamp if you want to hit that rig a few times..Id send it to you free of charge just so I can rest at night knowing someone isnt running around with a yellow PLCE rig..Originally Posted by Hydroquip
Here's a pic of my PLCE set up, nothing too special.
From left to right we have: Ammo pouches. For ammunition, funnily enough. Obviously empty at the moment. Entrenching tool pouch, now holds my water bottle. Entrenching tool is now hiding somewhere in my bergen. Next up, utility pouch, this holds my mess tin, hexy cooker plus spare fuel, first aid kit, brew kit and a bit of spare rations - all waterproofed. Then we have my water bottle pouch, obviously sans water bottle. Instead I keep my mug, spare socks, spare rations, tent pegs, green string and a bit of space for weapon cleaning kit/spare parts wallet and spare batteries. Finally, more ammo pouches.

I assure you thats the light shining through my yellow curtains.
The buckles are easy peasy to open, you just yank up on them and they're open. You don't tend to just use the velcro fastenings as things tend to fall out of unsecured pouches, like magazines and other important things
PLCE buckles are great......Does the issue PLCE have the cover for the velcro to keep from securing when you dont want it to?

Yup, very handy for those situations where the noise of velcro isn't particularly wanted
i find with the buckles is each to their own, some prefer the security of doing them doubled, but i prefer having quck access to my stuff by just doing em once, its worth doubling it on one of your utility pouches that you keep all your bits and bobs in though saves stuff falling out.

Me too, but each to his own.
I'd loose the ETC as well - just get a proper Utility or WB pouch - far more use.

Does it include party spray?
Sabre still waiting to see your gear mate

Brill thanks! So what do you use the ammo pouches for? Ive seen a GPS fits snugly in there...
Well the actual ammo pouches on that vest I use them for:
1. Has first aid items in it for qucik access..
2. the second one has my Swiss goggles in them, chem light sticks and forage bag and i hold my facepaint compacts in them..If I was out and about after the hammer dropped It will hold AK mags. Mini14 mags and M4 mags......
the other pouches hold a variety of items incase I should have issues and not be able to make it out for what ever reason..brokn bone,,,snake bit...what ever..I have a pocho shelter and 550...hammock and food in the back pouch....one in the very front on the right stays empty or holds my Steiner Binos or in yesturdays case the digi cam...

Yeap - I wrote a review here: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...ad.php?t=60557
Tasty bit of kit though - I love mine to bits!
Sorry.
I gave it away to a mate off to Afghanistan as I will very shortly be a civvy.
It contained a length of orange mine tape (white doesn't show against snow - too long in the Balkans), red cylumes (can be cut open to pour or drop the liquid on the ground like paint) and marker pegs (metal coat hanger's cut into 4" lengths with hi-viz tape wrapped about the ends).
Thanks for the response Royal. Sorry to hear you will return to civvie street soon. Must take some getting used to dropping a couple of gears...
Sound Mine kit, remembered the red cylumes, so bright even can be seen during the day, right?
HAve you heard of the secret weapon party spray used to discover trip wires? Spray it out in front, let it settle and follow the line to where it loses contact with the ground. Only question is when do you spray? And you leave one hell of a big tell tale...
I'm getting old - it's time for a change
The STRE's (or whatever they're called now) used cans of silly string for checking for wires - but as you say it's a hell of a tell tale. There are other ways too though.
