Jim thanks man. I've been into this type of stuff my whole life. I took an approximately 10 year break larping but suddenly had an itch for precision AR stuff and you have truly inspired me. So much that I signed up for a bruiser precision class in September.

Paint can openers are also good to remove stuck cases quickly. Always keep one tied to whatever kit is mounted on my chest. Obviously if it’s super crazy stuck the cleaning rod is a good back up but paint can opener can be quicker if speed is imperative.

I think it’s note worthy when more “sensible” KZfaq channels like yours are mentioning “grid down”/ “SHTF” scenarios as possible training objectives. It helps some of us realize that we are not crazy and that others see the same developments that could possibly lead to something in the future.

I know they are apparently considered lame and uncool, but have you considered a USGI canteen? It'll still be 32oz, fit tighter to your body, taking up the same amount of molle space, and let you bring a cup for making coffee/tea/soup/sports mix. You can even get them in nalgene, though it won't have the spiritus logo on it if that's the most important thing. You seem to have brought everything and the kitchen sink, might be great for a specific course- but perhaps adapting more general purpose gear, to make it work well enough, would serve you better in the long run. Those binos are gucci for sure, but there's lots of good reasons to use something else. A passive monocular with ranging reticles will be slower, but doesn't need batteries, will not reveal your location to NODs and other sensors, and will not be so big that you'll be forced to build an entire new rig to accomodate them. That "breaching tool" is begging to fall out, which wouldn't be a big loss- when are you going to be "breaching" anything in that recce loadout? Is it realistically capable of doing anything but pulling nails? As bloated as I think this loadout is, everything in it does serve a clear mission - except for that.

Easier to scan with and easier to spot with. The size of and having two hand on it (there’s a joke there somewhere) make it more stable than holding a monocular when ranging. Additionally, using both eyes gives a clearer picture and for some more perceived magnification.
