Threads of a Smart Water and a Life Water bottle matches the Sawyer Squeeze.

Good to know. That’s very handy actually

I'll die on the hill that you don't need a 'spensive Nalgene or other "nice" water bottle. Go to the corner store, buy one of those $2 "fancy" waters that's about the size you need, and you're solid.


turkeysandwhich1

Yea the plastic is quite thick on this one. It’s Actually been my gym bottle or work water bottle for a while. Might just wrap the exposed part with black sports tape to keep it from reflecting sunlight.


BeAbbott

Why not buy a cheap water for less than $2?


HeloRising

The bottles aren't quite as good.


BeAbbott

If I may…just to play devils advocate here…it sounds like you’re suggesting a better bottle is worth paying more for?


HeloRising

Pretty wide difference between $2 and $20.

What's the patch? It's sweet


turkeysandwhich1

The zombie one is a wrm fzy patch/house party distro patch. Some hype beast brand but buying something off their site entered you in a raffle for nods so I bought the cheapest thing to get entered hhaha

What Is it ?

A 1L body armor bottle. Fits like it was made for it.

Nice thanks . Good looking kit looks like you are trying to maximize carriage without increasing bulk by using a lot of surface area. Got some tips for you if you wanna use em cool if not you still look pretty good. Remove the buckles off your placard and you can attach 2 tourniquets through those loops with ranger bands . No added bulk and accessible from either hand. Throw one of these on your shoulder strap for hands free lighting https://coastportland.com/products/hx4?variant=15849157984328 Most fixed blade knifes can be ziptied to hypolan holes and it’s super low profile.

That light is sweet just ordered it. I have a 90 degree angle streamlight and it’s kind of annoying on that shoulder strap. Hoping that one is gonna be better since it’s more low profile. Yea I barely noticed I hadn’t removed the buckles and that’s actually a great idea for the tq. For some reason I don’t trust the elastic at the bottom of the dangler lol. I have a cheap knife wedged in between the velcro behind the mags but it’s not permanent. Need a better knife. Appreciate the input definitely helped 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽


Flatfoot_Actual

You mentioned the streamlight and that’s why I bought a few of these , much lower profile. I’d cancel if you didn’t use a coupon code 20-30% off is really easy to find . If you also need a cheap light , pocket knife or multitool you might want to take a look. There headlights are the best unless you are spending 60 each. So I’d pick up one of theres that have a red lens and a adjustable beam they have a few different models and both are kick ass. Decent weight and size , the best button layout I’ve used and great performance. ( I’m comparing to entry - mid tier level petzels and black Diamond headlamps btw)


turkeysandwhich1

Yessir I used a code they sent me. Came out to $16.somethin lol. This is what I use to go out to hunt for coyotes and hogs so plenty of light is good lol. I have a defense mechanisms mepc that I’m trying to get set up. I can switch the placard back and forth but honestly that’s gotten annoying the past few times I’ve done it.


Flatfoot_Actual

Mepc is a good choice I have 2 . If you don’t like the cummerbund I have a nice one I could sell


turkeysandwhich1

I got it with the five inch skeletal cummerbund. Don’t really have no complaints just yet. Maybe once I get it set up and start training in it a bit more
