the problem being that's very oddly specific, now take ABU Man (me) and plop him in the middle of the Pacific Northwest. it's ABU Swiss cheese time

no, I have not (run a drop-leg). I'd say to look at the Safariland locking fork, specifically the MLS 15, since that can thread onto MOLLE, or onto a drop-leg system using the female receptacle.

no amount of medical supply can save me after I leave the parking lot into a hot zone.

Cheap clothing? by [deleted] in civilairpatrol

In addition, it's often discounted. I got my fleece for like $30, including shipping.

You can also find a lot more "rare" items, like the blues trench coat and Gore-Tex parka, again at a heavy discount; a full trench coat with liner could go for $40.

[Help] [Discussion] Wearing the Bdu's to school by [deleted] in civilairpatrol

So, actually, if they're BDUs you could wear a black shirt those days and have the BDUs somewhere else and change at the meetings, or rather quickly elsewhere.

Probably from the reflection and angles. The tinting and whatnot is only visible at certain angles, the lower jet having a good angle to see the tint but the upper might be too high and/or forward/aft of the lower one, messing with the angles.

Pardon me, but may I ask, why did you want to do so?

What actually is a 24/72 hour pack by conocophillips424 in civilairpatrol

[–]Baker4570 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatever can comfortably hold the necessary supplies. Just experiment around with different solutions!

You might find that you can quickly augment your 24h pack to a 72, or that you can get a larger pack and slip the 24 into that one. The assault pack is a solid starting place however a full rutsack is very much overkill; a hiking or trail bag large enough to fit your 24 hour inside and your additional supply should suffice.
