What’s in your Gear? Clean House: Does your Gear Make Sense?
Written by: Jake Deweese
I want to preface this with; I was never in the military, law enforcement, or any kind of real application involving military gear. That being said, I’ve had the privilege to work with multiple military and law enforcement, as well as friends of ours.
There are people who have done way cooler stuff than I have, most have covered the same topics.
Maybe, you should probably read one of their articles or watch one of their videos, however, if you haven’t found theirs as of yet. I’m glad you stumbled across mine here.
You don’t need to have the most Gucci kit to be combat effective.
Here’s another good point. You CAN have the most Gucci load-out on the field and still not be combat effective.
As it pertains to Airsoft, you don’t have to have the best or newest LBT plate carrier. A $20 reproduction of the same plate carrier can serve you just as well.
In Airsoft there is zero issues with reproductions or cheaper gear. At the end of the day, it’s a game and if you’re a gear fails; it can be replaced and it’s not going to cost you your life or somebody else’s.
It may interfere with your Saturday of fun but it will not make or break you. This article is not about which gear to buy or how much to spend on it It is about the philosophy behind it.
