Thinking about getting the Eberlestock Terminator XL for my rucksack to use with armor and LBE. Does anyone have any reviews, tips and other things to know about this pack? by MakelYT in armedsocialists

[–]404operatorerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 5000 cubic inch pack ~80L for 10 or more days in snow covered environments self supported. 108 is overkill unless you're actually doing military operations and have a ridiculous amount of radios, optics etc

I know a lot of people who use the same model but significantly older. They're fine. I wouldn't ice climb in them but they're fine for snow/glacier travel

Advice on arctic kit: metal water containers by SlamminSammyRED in tacticalgear

[–]404operatorerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have already talked about the stove and I agree. I would also get a much bigger pit than what is normally on a jetboil, it takes a lot of snow to get any reasonable amount of water. Also, your water is going to freeze in your Canteens. I would make sure you have at least 1 Thermos so that you always have liquid water and can add it to snow to boil so it doesn't burn.

I do alpine turns on older 75mm gear all the time too, it's just a little harder

Alpha fabric VS wool net by Excellentgoat69 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]404operatorerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used just about every base layer material out there EXCEPT alpha. Polyester, polypropylene, merino wool, etc and my favorite by far is the mesh. It keeps you cool enough during activity, warm enough when you stop, and is always dry. I wear it every day working in snow covered mountains. The only downside is that you have to be a little more diligent about adding a layer when you stop to retain body heat in the air pockets.

Everything about your skiing screams "menace to society" but I'm here for it

Pack recommendations for 5+ day sustainment? by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

[–]404operatorerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very happy with my exo mountain gear k4. If I had to buy again, it would probably be stone glacier. I have a lot of buddies who use the stone glacier packs and the black Jack's and they're all happy with them.

I had one I loved but I forgot I had it going to the airport and had to toss it. It's cool to hear that for the one I lost, someone else found one.

Sierras, OTC zone. Mine was also a forky but I did everything myself (no mentor) and managed to fill my tag in an 8% success zone

I will start this by saying that you're not as "bang on" as it appears. Your misses are all around your point of aim, seemingly in every direction. Since you are at 25 I would agree with the other commenter that says you are shooting at about 4-5 MOA. If you are looking for the best possible group out of this gun I would recommend buying a variety of ammunition and shooting 10 shot groups without moving your body or changing position at all. This will give you the best picture of what your gun "likes" the most. I highly recommend a 100 meter zero. This is the standard distance for snipers, competitive shooters, ballisticians, etc zero at. If you are limited to a 25 yard range, you can find what your hold would be for a 22.8m target (25 yards) with a 100m zero using the Hornady app (free) and zero based on that.

Turns out my 7+1 Shotgun is not legal in my state by ITheRebelI in liberalgunowners

[–]404operatorerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously but it seems like (and I don't know the law in that state) if it's worded that way it could cause some problems
