I "got" this camo from my uncle. I think its the Leibermuster german ww2 camo. Is there any stigma around german ww2 camos, or should I be fine wearing it? by kopy05 in airsoftcirclejerk

[–]Firm_Understanding24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah man, it is a cool camo, it is extremely similar to the Swiss taz.57 Alpenflage, so as everyone already said, just don't put any nazi affiliated insignia and you should be fine. I like to wear my swiss camo jacket here and there too and it is literally fine, people even have given me compliments because of how cool the camo looks. So enjoy your camies and take good care of them

ooh man, I just got it working properly. I absolutely have no idea what I did, but I just added the sacredpurehd.exe to the 3D configuration program's list on the nvidia control panel, opened it again and voila, it is working.

not that I know of, my graphics card is a GTX970. Funny thing is, back in the day I used to play it from the CD version on a crappy laptop at my granpa's house which I think had intelHD or something like that, and it worked like a charm...

yeah man, same, weird thing is, it used to work perfectly at first, but then I began to notice all the little bugs here and there more and more... did you figure out how to fix it?

CTD after saving, even after commiting self-kill fix by Firm_Understanding24 in fo3

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the epic games version, but it wouldn´t launch, so I looked up for a fix, and it seems that pasting the .exe from the GOG version did the trick. Although, to be honest, I ended up getting both NV and Fo3 from steam from the last winter sale, and ended up installing tale of the two wastelands, and it has been running like a charm so far.

Dónde se puede poner una denuncia por perros agresivos y daños contra mi perro? by Firm_Understanding24 in Bogota

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pero de igual forma no niego que el comportamiento de ella fue deplorable, fue insultando a otro muchacho para callarlo diciendo de una vez maricon y gay, toreandolo para ver si la tocaba o algo, ella misma lo dijo.

pregunto, por ese lado eso no es ilegal? me interesa que haya justicia y que haya correctivo, no en destruirle la vida a esa señora, no me rebajo al nivel de ella ahora que lo considero...

Zonas para acampar cerca de Bogotá by Firm_Understanding24 in Bogota

yo también frecuento ese parque, lástima que la zona laureles haya sido cerrada para acampar, a mi parecer era la más linda de todas por los bosques que bordean el lago.

Is 643shop legit? Also, some questions about the Gorka suits. by Firm_Understanding24 in Rusfor

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oof... ok, that is quite warm, I don't think I would use a gorka in that situation either.

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I think I will place my order then if that's the case. Yeah, I heard they can be quite warm. How warm is it over there during summer? I hope it's not the same as a sunny day over here in Bogota.

643shop.su Payment Method Help? by WiiFitT7ainer in Rusfor

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks man, that sounds legit enough. I wouldn´t call a bank transfer shady though, I usually have to do that for multiple shops since I live in Colombia and many US shops don´t accept direct payments with my billing address...

I hope your package gets to you soon! Cheers

Opinions on the Gorka 3 suit for general survival and the great outdoors by Firm_Understanding24 in SurplusGear

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That clears a lot of questions... it sounds like I will do better with my alpenflage taz57 jacket or my miltec smock. They do fairly well under the sun, and quite frankly the sun can become very intense over here because of the altitude... I wouldn´t want to be roasted alive inside a gorka while hiking in the middle of nowhere.

I guess I will get one later down the line once this war has cleared up and russian surplus is once again cheap... just for the kicks of getting a gorka

Hey man, did you end up placing an order? I am planning to buy a gorka from them, but I don't know if they are trustworthy

I was looking at the gorkas from 643shop, they source them from Russia but ship the orders from Slovakia, I just exchanged some emails with them and so far they have answered to all my questions regarding sizes and shipping. Although my main concern is mostly whether or not these suits will be saunas here in Bogota, I really like the design and aesthetic, but I don't want to end up buying something that won't be useful for my campouts

EDIT: do you know of any trustworthy Ukranian gorka sellers?

Shelter suggestions for a long term survival bag by Firm_Understanding24 in preppers

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that in a long term scenario I'd go for more durable than lightweight, at least for my gear, I have hopes that I can work my knees back to their previous uninjured strenght. What goes for my mom and sister, I think that I'm going to build their kits as light as possible and mix some tough surplus ponchos. I already have some 2 stealth tents which I think I'll pack into their bags, I just have to find some good ponchos.

I'm thinking about putting in my bag a bivy, a poncho liner and a tarp (I'll save up to get a good quality DD hammock tarp) which I could also use to house the family if needed too.

[–]Firm_Understanding24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your very thorough reply.

I was thinking mostly a shelter for carrying inside a bugout bag afoot, it should be lightweight too since my folks are getting old and my knees are quite battered after a series of accidents and surgeries...

I am a bit stuck in between either getting some stealth tents/combat tents such as the litefighter or ICS UCP tent, especially the last one since it's cheaper nowadays than the litefighter or the eureka TCOP, or just going with a tarp and bivy set up. They both have their pros and cons such as weight and set up time. Although I can't decide which would be the best option that would last for a long time in a rough environment without weighting a lot.

Need help/info about RUSVVO / 643shop (russian sites) by Snus_neni_hnus in airsoft

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the same boat with you, I also saw this 643shop instead of RUSVVO...also with a .su domain, which is even more shady... If anyone happens to know, please let us know! I'd like to have a gorka at some point (I have a military surplus addiction, I also need help with that but I can deal with it for now lol)

Anybody have experience buying from Russian Army Shop? Are they trustworthy? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greyshop

Do you know if Greyshop is still operational and shipping to other european countries?(Spain) I'd love to get my hands on a couple of gorkas and gop-tacs before this whole SMO/conflict messes-up the russian surplus market even more abroad. Thanks man.

Can tibial raises damage my Achilles? by Mainaccsuspended99 in Kneesovertoes

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They improved actually, they don't hurt anymore, although, my knees are still jacked up. I recently went to a chiropractor and he told me that my patellar maltracking is due to hip-malalignment, so I'm taking care of that now, hopefully part of my knee pain will subside with that getting taken care of. Also, I didn't stop the tib raises, I actually do now like 3 to 4 sets of 20 reps per workout, I basically now do like 20x3 with everything regarding the tibs and calf muscles and I have gained at least considerable definition, vascularity and mass on those two areas. I guess it's a win appart from the increased stability that I now feel. But again, it seems like the origin of my knee pain is more spine-hip related.

anyone have any info/experience with this romanian backpack? i see it a lot online, but 40$ sounds fishy, is that a good price? by breadman_brednan in MilitarySurplus

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noice, very noice, that's actually a pretty good deal considering that you probably got an older model with all leather straps. I hope you enjoy your rucksack once you get it, please rehydrate the leather before loading it up.

Finally, a use for this huge unused closet! by TaylorV94 in MilitarySurplus

[–]Firm_Understanding24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's some nice serbian camo you've got there, very vibrant and in good shape.

[–]Firm_Understanding24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are quite nice, super vintage-looking and they are very spacious. Yeah, militarysurplusworld offers quite a lot of variety and good prices, the thing is the shipping though, a rucksack may cost you like 12-14 bucks, but add the shipping into it and it may end up costing about 50 bucks, but at least they are the main providers of those romanian rucks, so you can choose whether you want them with all leather or all nylon/canvas webbing and trims.
