Going dark. turns off all RGB lights
Flashbang! spams goatse
That's a Snacktical Vest, and it is vital for preventing fatigue and maintaining focus.
(I know it's a joke!)
I'm wearing a version of that shirt now. About to go hiking.
How the hell these boys think about body armor?! If you want it, practice with it, I got no beef. But fuck me. A gas mask and extra filters would be far more practical for SHTF (shit hits the fan) scenarios.
For those not in the know, the lower half is rigged for 8x, 30-round rifle mags. Top half, can't say exactly, 4x pistol mags? I carry a shit knife, monocular and compass up front. Use those daily.
I walk the neighborhood woods with 20lbs. of gear (largely beer!), got first-aid/emergency gear out the ass (because I'm usually alone). But for a fire fight? Whatever pistol I've been proficient with lately (and works at night) and an extra mag. I usually carry 16-26 shots. If I'm in trouble that requires more? I'm fucked, or fucked up.
And for the "you don't need a gun" haters, I've encountered bears, panthers and gators. I've also encountered far more worrying animals.
Exercise while wearing a gas mask is how you build strong lungs
Don't use the good filters though. Filters don't usually clog with particulate, it's usually all the water vapor from your breath. They get moldy.
The cheapest filters also restrict the most airflow. So for best results buy the crappiest filters that will fit in the mask. Leave them out in the open in a cool dry place to outgas and then they should last a month or so for training.
You are correct, horse_battery_staple
Was that bear in fact coming right for you?
I've had one wander in my dog door. How about you?
There's nothing in the woods that scares me, but plenty that warrants caution.
What's for more worrying? Like the most dangerous game or rabies?
Good question! One example would be the guy I ran into twice while hiking. He was leasing the land to hunt deer, felt it was his land between those calendar dates.
He was nice enough, on the surface. But I could see him boiling inside, struggling to contain his temper. Would he have beat my little ass if I wasn't openly carrying? Can't say. Bet he would have been far more threatening. But an armed society is a polite society. Nobody fucks with anybody around here.
Funnier, and dumber, are the few times I've actually drawn my weapon. Once was on a deer at 3AM. All I see was a triangular, tawny head up close, thought, "Ah! PANTHER!" Nope. Or the time I stumble-fucked around drawing on something making hella noise in the bushes next to me. LOL, probably a coon.
The trigger discipline on the keyboard is a nice touch..
True, but these guys wouldn't have a platform if Disney Star Wars didn't royaly suck.
Doesn't matter how diverse the cast is if the script is an afterthought.
Andor was a surprise... mando was fun... and the rest never happened...
Rogue One us one of the best Star Wars films. As well as The Force Awakens.
I agree with Rogue One, hard disagree with Force Awakens.
Still mad they killed Yord & Jecki mid-series.
