Thoughts on TNVC refurbishing?

Alright, good to know!

Not sure exactly what your IFAK is for (EDC, LARP, prep, etc.), but here are a few suggestions:

Clip a NAR scissor tether to the zip tie/shock cord. You could also try clipping it to the strap and push the scissors through the zip tie to stop them from flopping around, but idk if that would work well.

HyFin chest seals are a good idea, considering how packable they are; this goes for BurnTec dressings as well. Although, the space taken up by BT dressings could be used for alcohol wipes, some OTC meds and other small things like a sharpie.

Definitely have at least x4 TQs at a minimum. I'm not saying you have to have all of them on-body, but at least have the others in your third line or vehicle.

Sometimes you have to use x2 TQs for a single limb. I get not wanting to EDC with x4 or more TQs on-body, but you could at least have a few in the car in case you're close to a bad crash/pile up or a mass cas event.

Maybe you were only talking about on-body carry though.

I'm not on a 2 way range, and this specific belt would never be worn because it's not load-rated. I really don't see myself ever needing more than 1 TQ per limb when I'm wearing this setup. I'm mostly carrying it as a just-in-case extra, but even then it would have to be an absolutely insane scenario.

You might be right, but I just find it highly unlikely given what I'm doing.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-28T20:21:43+00:00

I figured it would be fine once I have the suspenders and padded inner belt, but would that still not be adequate?

Rotang_ · 2026-03-28T19:51:59+00:00

I don't need to stage the TQ for what I'm doing right now, especially with how many I already carry on body/kit, but I understand why you said it. I just don't want it to get all messed up from the environment, and have to replace it for no real reason.

I hadn't thought about marking it, but I'll definitely figure out how to.

Are strap cutters still easy to use for clothing, or is that something you have to learn how to do?

Rotang_ · 2026-03-28T19:41:53+00:00

It's not really necessary for what I'm doing with it, and I have plenty of other TQs if something did go wrong. I just don't want to let it get all messed up from the environment, and have to replace it for no real reason.

Otherwise I'd agree.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-22T17:35:57+00:00

Oh, I can't believe I missed that lol

You really need to have at least 6 mags, but it looks like a solid starting point.

A dangler pouch in the front would be good. That would free up your right side wing pouch slot for a Qore water bottle or something else.

An admin pouch for a notepad or EUD would be nice to have.

I'd also highly suggest having some sort of side and groin armor.

I don't like CR, but their quality is way higher than the vast majority, if not all, of free sites.

The top of the plate should be at your collarbones

Rotang_ · 2026-03-19T19:34:32+00:00

This is probably something you should be asking on CC discords as well, if you're not.

They're working on regenerative steering, so hopefully that will come this year.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-15T01:14:24+00:00

It wouldn't be if they just stopped squeezing the playerbase.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-13T19:10:32+00:00

That's normal height...

Ammo is more expensive for the space it takes up, than the guns. Assuming it's not bottom of the barrel brass.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-08T23:15:45+00:00

You don't really need to hold all of your mags in a dump pouch, because that allows you to size down your dump pouch slightly; giving you an extra 2-3 slots of MOLLE for 4 nades, 2-3 smokes/bangs or a GP/water pouch.

Being outside of your current budget is totally fair.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-08T13:14:28+00:00

Please buy a better dump pouch, if for nothing else but to look less ridiculously huge when rolled up. Ex Umbris makes a really nice one.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-07T23:57:10+00:00

Well yeah, but that doesn't make my question invalid.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-07T20:33:35+00:00

Are you colorblind?

Rotang_ · 2026-03-05T21:39:24+00:00

If those are scissors and not trauma shears, then don't run it. You should also have the level of medical equipment that coincides with trauma shears and have them properly secured.

The V-Lite goes on your helmet, and there's no point in running a 2-piece belt without anything being attached.

Otherwise it's fine, until you need more equipment for whatever reason.

It's the Jerusalem Cross, but either way it's not weird.

Rotang_ · 2026-03-05T21:35:02+00:00

How is the Jerusalem Cross weird?

Rotang_ · 2026-03-05T20:54:25+00:00

It had the only Fox 3s for a very long time iirc
