The enemy will carry a rifle, or RPG, a shemagh, and a water bottle, if he is lucky.” “You will be weighed down with body armor, rations, extra ammumition, communications gear, and a thousand other things. A plate carrier is objectively better at stopping a bullet than a chest rig, but in relation to most scouting operations, ends up being a possible mission-crippling burden. ![]() ![]() We’re often sent looking for the best piece of gear only to be reminded that there are objective and subjective elements in play. We’ve talked before about some of the history of load-bearing equipment such as a bullet proof vest, and even as gear development goes through phases and cycles centered around the current situation, we are reminded the real world is very different than the “current meta” in a video game. Whether for situations of civil unrest or scouting for feral hogs: where ammo and other gear might be carried, where mobility and stealth are higher priorities, a chest rig might be the right answer. For those not in such positions, it can be tempting to spend time and money on gear, hoping that the possession of such equipment will inspire or create opportunities to use it. Before this principle can be followed, the objective itself must be clearly defined and established.

To me that is markings of a Great company, great customer service, and great products: excitement to serve their customers.Īs I finish my "Uncle Bidens Comin4U Reaction Kit", I sit and admire how above and beyond this team went to serve the community. They didn't just tolerate or endure this newbie, they were actually excited to participate in this new members new learning experience. They asked what kit I have at home, offered advice on which products would best compliment my home kit, and answered email after email, question after question. The customer service with Spiritus is beyond amazing: they walked me through the entire purchase process. Problem is that I didn't know what gear I truly needed.
