how much kit do we seriously need in the field?

[murta369]

i was thinking i wanted to cut down my kit for lighter quicker games i started stripping pouches off my PC and was thinking do i seriously need all this kit in here. i mean i was carrying a small tool kit and large batterys on me. that could just be left at the safe zone. what do you guys ususally carry onto the field

even in my PLCE or on my plate carrier i tend to only carry mags, water, and maybe a little extra sometihng in a utility pouch - hat or gloves or maybe a spare battery or whatever i need for that specific game

as i now have my mp5 im going to build a belt kit consisting of mag pouches, water bottle pouch and a single utility pouch for whatever i need to carry

ive almost abandoned my plate carriers - now its only used for extended games when i need to carry more things

Not much at all, i've ditched vests in favor of belt systems, especially now the weather is decent.

When using MP5, i'll have a 2 mag pouches, holster, pistol mag pouches and a utility pouch... and a water bottle pouch if it's baking hot.

You need nothing.

Just a gun and a full mag.

I suppose I'm used to light loadouts, so that seems like quite a lot to me :D

Completely nude with nothing but Camo cream and a rubber bayonet for bang kills to take this to it's ultimate conclusion.

I tend to take as much as is fun but so it does not cut down mobility too much

Re: how much kit do we seriously need in the field?

Primarily water and mags, though it depends how you carry everything, I like to take a waterproof out as well so I can change into it if it starts raining, and like to have excess utility in case I take layers off. my main load carrying is going to be in the plce Im buying which will have 3 util pouches, 1 for water bottle(s) the other 2 for bb's gas, and my waterproof. on my osprey is everything that I will need quick access to so holster, a double mag pouch and admin pouch for maps, game plans and spare pistol mags.

I did use a weesatch over the front of my osprey and a patrol pack on the back but thats far to cumbersome for a normal skirmish as I dont need to carry that amount of kit, so I've scaled down to pouches attatched to the osprey and soon a plce as well.

Re: how much kit do we seriously need in the field?

I just have my gun, bottle of bb's

pistol in pocked of dpm jacket, spare batt somtimes... and my phone wrapped up in a pair of spare gloves (to stop it getting smashed)

I like the be able to move quick, But still Im going to stop carrying bottle of bb's as it bounces all over and rattles like hell !

Re: how much kit do we seriously need in the field?

Get a bag and fold it over, no rattle at all :D
(I think I should add a pistol + 3 mags, rifle + 8 mid-caps, 2.5 litres of water, Plate Carrier, MOLLE Belt, Radio, 2-4000 rounds of ammo +bottle of green to bomb up between games, and a spare battery , a radio, a SERPA and sometimes a penknife, allen key set and multi-tool.)
