Well I got this new plate carrier and a few pouches from USGG. Its a sweet ass vest. This sucker is built to last! I did not pay for this myself, god knows I couldn't afford it. A friend of mine was so generous that he decided out of the blue to buy it for me and have it shipped directly from the workshop, to my house. I'm forever grateful and will make sure I put it to good use. No closet decorations here! Its setup to supply a shotgun as a primary.

@ken, it looks like each shell has it's own elastic loop, correct? Nice setup for running multi load shotgun outside of competition .

Thats correct. I prefer it to the velcro shot cards for speed and simplicity and the ammo is secure and out of the elements until its needed. I run all #00 in the pouches and all slugs on my fixed side saddle.

Shellback Plate Carrier with 3-HSGI Rifle Tacos, 1 HSGI Pistol Taco, 1 HSGI Taco for Flash Light, 1- Freeman Knives Blade, 100l Bladder, Blowout Kit
- If not using the battle belt I use a Ory-Gun Kydex Holster  with a kydex rifle mag holder for my "happy mag".
- I add my comms Pouch as necessary. As i only occasionally get to shoot where I use comms, I dont generally have my kit set up with it.


Battle belt with 3 HSGI Rifle Tacos, 2 Snake Eater Tactical Pistol Mag holders, Ory-Gun Kydex Holster, HSGI Taco for Flash Light,  HSGI Pistol Holder for multi tool, ESEE-4 Blade, Blowout kit

I generally wear one or the other, and cant remember the last time I wore both together.  I run these fairly slick with a choice of 2 different packs (24hr or 72hr) that I use in conjunction. My Nods are part of my Pack load out.

For a sling I use a BFG VCAS sling that I stitched to work as a 1 or 2 point sling using Magpul hardware. I set up my rifles the same so that I can use the same sling and they all operate the same. 90% of the time I use it as a 2pt sling, but it is nice to convert to 1pt in higher intensity and cqb situations.

I like the HSGI Tacos for rifle mags as they will accept AR mags (80% of the time for me), .308 Mags (15% of the time for me) and AK mag(5%) though the AK mags are not "ideal". Last class I ran my AR for 1 day and my LMT MWS for 2 days and used the same kit all the way through.

AWESOME CJS06!  :thumbsUp:

Pic 2, is that your IFAK in the pouch to the right? I don't see a CAT tourniquet anywhere: Do you wear one?

Damn it, all this talk of food is making me hungry!

I'm super jealous of all the real-estate you've got for patches on your carrier there CJS06.  :thumbsup:

And how well does your K knife draw from that position?

Johhny That is my IFAK. My CAT tourniquet is just hidden in that view. It is on my right side and i can reach it with either arm.

Burt while I was typing I kept wondering why I was having such a hankering for Mexican food. :)

The knifes position with the kit on is vertical...in the pic it looks like it is angled back but it isnt once the kit is put on. I can draw easily with either hand as the knife is located just to the right side of my torso.

Actually I RIT dye them dark green and it's blending a good bit better.  Works well looking through night vision as well.  $15 pants are to good to pass up.

My first attempt a few years ago... works decent. However if its hot out I would die probably lol... needs like half the burlap it has. I ended up adding dark brown and green to it as well.
