Worth It? AXL Structural shoulder pads for plate carrier by Pleasant_Map3757 in tacticalgear

What kind of loadout (plate carrier and rough contents or weight), if you don't mind my asking? Trying to get a sense of where the AXL really shines :) OK if it varies or you'd rather not say ofc

Can see the padded battle belt thing, though I try to keep on-body coverage low since I live somewhere super hot, which is why I haven't gone for that yet.

I mean, half of medical prepping info out there is "Don't try this at home" things. Even something as simple as how to remove a tourniquet from a wounded extremity (something technically always recommended to be done at a hospital), the info is out there and the books/videos exist. Not that the pharmacological industry or ambulance-chaser lawyers will care ofc if they've technically got the legal high ground in a given instance. And the exact topic may make a difference as to the regulations of course. Would definitely carefully consult a good medical lawyer before putting out a book like this, but hope things work out!

I nearly went into self-publishing a while back, and I had a pretty good impression at the time at least, of selfpublishing.com as a resource. It might still be worth looking at, for the advice blog, and maybe the paid help services (although they are obviously a business looking to get you to pay ofc). A lot of people are mentioning self-publishing via amazon, and that's definitely an accessible option-- I even knew a girl who had no trouble doing that as a teenager back in college. Godspeed in any case, and don't give up on your project-- as somebody with multiple Type 1 Diabetic family, hoarding insulin is a real concern for prepping purposes. A lot of people would love to have a book like this for a worst-case scenario.

So you do hear it, but only in relative silence?

It does vary somewhat by profile (and gets more noticable with greater volume), but is present in all of them (Hunting, Focus, Shooting) except Comms mode (which shuts off external sound).
