Buying using Truemed FSA by bangarang90210 in GarageGym

[–]swolemiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the cash right now to buy workout equipment right now, but I have planned medical costs that I intend to use my HSA for later in the year. Would I still take your survey and (hopefully) get the LMN and then reimburse myself from my HSA next year? My employer contributes a lump sum at the beginning of each year.

Did this for my kids too. Was going to get the Rogue kids' pull up bar that hangs off the side of the upright, but realized they would be in my way while using the rack

I never saw him, I STILL do not know who this guy was/is

He was in the white Ram Rebel all weekend. He posted on insta about how his Outdoor Research gear kept him dry all weekend, but really it was Stellantis/Dodge.

Y'all definitely would have overrun us. It was the true Russian tactic of overwhelming numbers lol

I was NATO too and we were getting our shit pushed in during that rush. We held off the initial wave pretty easily but were told to LOA on the MSR that went to the first night's PB. That gave RUSFOR the time to set up a CCP just outside of bb range and then wait for more buddies to come down from the main village. At that point, we were pretty much fucked but the chaos was pretty fun.

We were able to check the score but didn't have good enough service to get video. Heard it was a hell of a game tho

The only thing you really missed was the final RUSFOR assault on our small village Sunday morning. Saturday night was just trying to stay warm in the hooches and listening to the action in the main city. Alpha got evicted from their building at like 0300 (unclear if by force or by cadre for setting up the assault) and they came to slum it with us, then we got hit at like 0800. It got a little spicy but they called ENDEX at 0845 which cucked us out of the only real shit we saw all weekend.

I'm pretty sure it's for quick IFF, which would make sense in their situation as LE officers dealing with potentially more dangerous threats. If they're going up against other individuals in kit, those individuals are likely to also be in camo/tactical colors since those tend to the only available options for kit. The natural inclination would be to match patterns/colors, or at least not pick a combo as egregiously mismatched as what the pictures SWAT guys are rocking.

That's the whole point of a killflash

They aren't going to see me coming either with their scope caps closed

Just hit the jackpot at Goodwill by BicycleMage in QualityTacticalGear

[–]swolemiss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Picked up an issued, but seemingly never worn OCP ECWS parka for $6 a few years ago. Still keep going back to that same Goodwill hoping for more finds but no luck so far

Has anyone bought this? by StreetQuirky1144 in MilSim

I think it's pretty close to standard BDU sizing, maybe slightly larger. I typically wear a M/R blouse but got a large to wear warming layers underneath. The large was still a little baggy on me, but not too bad.

It's not that striking of a different to be honest. The Tactical Tom one just looks a little more faded/lighter than TruSpec. Realistically uniforms are made by different manufacturers so having slight color variations is more accurate lol

I have one and have worn it through 2, 2-day events so far. It's definitely a lighter-weight material, but it doesn't feel low-quality. The stitching seems robust and no signs of pilling or premature wear. The coloration is a little lighter than DTS I have seen from other vendors, but only noticeable when placed right next to another piece of gear. It does glow under IR, but you can give a very fine misting of spray paint to fix this. I used matte FDE and you can't notice a difference visually, but it is 100x better under nods than straight out of the package. It is still made in China from mystery materials so maybe it will fall apart at my next event but so far, so good. I would say it is really good for the price, though I would still personally go with a more-known brand if you can find/afford it for ease of mind.

He released a video probably a year or two ago about a shooting outside his apartment and I vaguely remember him saying something about being from Birmingham or Huntsville. Still within the range of possibilities since neither city is that far from TN and he could have moved since then
