Edit Reason: Moar questions!
)
I'm looking to start building up some kit. Like a range belt and maybe a plate carrier in the future, I'm not too sure about the plate carrier idea yet, but I do see the prudence of having the armor if its ever needed.
I want to take some civilian tactical weapons courses sometime in the future. You don't get much of that in the Air Force, it makes sense not to waste training dollars on troops that don't need it, but I do wish we could be trained at least a little bit in those skills. I digress. Most of those courses require a load bearing belt or vest of some kind, I'm leaning toward a "battle belt". That's what we've been calling LBE for years right?
I'm sure there are many opinions on this, but what is the "safest" color in a WROL situation? In my opinion mutlicam, ACU, etc. looks too "operator-ie". But black is "scary black gear". I'm leaning more to black or olive drab because they're both solid colors and are pretty low key, I don't think they would stand out all that much.
What are your thoughts?
EDIT: Same goes for get home bags and such. I try not to be too alarmist, but just like a belt/carrier in a WROL, going to "town" to get supplies, what kind of bag would carry? Would you wear LBE and openly carry a weapon(s)? Or conceal carry and carry a nondescript backpack to carry home your supplies. I'm full of silly questions like this, I think me and my generation have been fooled into thinking nothing could ever happen to our civilization so we never think about this kind of stuff.
