Badlands Fieldcraft: Junk on the Bunk: Buttpack contents

Originally appeared on Badlands Fieldcraft. -NCS

For rural, dismounted patrolling I still like running a rig modeled after the LBE systems of the by. That being said, I'm always looking for a better manner to skin the true cat, and I feel that an ideal system gives good weight distribution, is comfy, isn't as well bulky to motility in, is quiet, protects the gear from exposure to the elements, facilitates rapid access to important gear and has enough room for everything you lot need to behave.

I don't consider myself an expert on every piece of gear issued in the final l years, but I've had feel with ALICE and MOLLE enough to be able to choice and choose the components I similar the best. Ane piece of gear that I've always liked since I first was issued one was the ALICE Buttpack. At that place's been a few ALICE Buttpacks and the 1 I'm referring to is the more modern woodland camo one with fastex buckles.

This is a very durable piece of gear, made from the same tough nylon as military packs with strong webbing and one inch buckles. The compression straps are large enough to fit a large amount of gear inside. I nonetheless have a lot of room to go with the gear list above. At 1 indicate when I was doing foot patrols in wet rain woods areas I was able to fit an MRE, goretex summit and lesser, socks and cleaning gear. At that indicate information technology was getting pretty full, and I dubbed it my "Ghetto booty pack".

1. USGI poncho 2. OD space blanket 3. Wool beanie, thermal glove liners and wool socks in ziplock pocketbook iv. Rifle cleaning gear to include: steel rod set, diameter snake, Rand CLP, brushes and lens pen 5. Camo face paint and point mirror vi. Uco Storm proof matches and exotac candle tin 7. 12" zip ties eight. BCB Fire dragon stove with three fuel bars 9. Surveyors tape and electrical tape x. thirty' bank line 11. 100% deet bug spray in ziplock bag 12. Bipod (stored on top under straps) thirteen. Emergency ration bar and java in ziplock bag

Some other feature I always liked was the expandable cuff inside is made of the same textile at the USGI poncho, a nice way to keep rain out when yous demand to open information technology up to get something out in rainy weather condition.

It's been a versatile pattern I e'er find myself going back to. At one point I had it off my gear in favor for a MOLLE utility pouch. I took a shoulder strap and hooked information technology to the barrel pack and used it as a haversack for solar day hikes.

I've been out on enough patrols that were either FRAGO'd and extended past many hours, or where the weather turned bad suddenly to know that having some basic items with you while out in the bush-league is e'er a good idea. I similar to have the kind of items that I would demand if I had to go by for some other 24 hours. Even if I only programme on being out for a few hours, this stuff comes with and information technology's always packed.

Information technology'southward not necessarily a survival kit, merely rather equipment that will help to stay in an extended fight that isn't planned. I do have some survival gear in it though since you should exist layering those kinds of items throughout your gear.
