From another site.

1st Line: Stuff you carry with you ALL the time. Includes any of the stuff you carry in your pockets or on your trouser belt, can include a holstered handgun and knife,

2nd Line: Warfighting rig - LBV, Assault Vest, Chest Rig, plate carrier, etc. Stuff that you "wear" that holds all your fighting stuff.

3rd Line: Your pack and everything that goes in it.

Some items can float from one line to another...like a small survival tin can be 1st or 2nd line. Handgun might go on a MOLLE belt or in a chest rig, which is 2nd, or on your trouser belt, which is 1st.

Or

1st line: Dump puches, small first aid pack, drop legs, etc, the minimum you would need to fight, think small and light, and fits on a belt.

2nd line: The main stuff you carry to sustain a fight, think your vest and everything on it. Comms, ammo, armor, atc.

3rd line: Think heavy long sustainment. Packs, extra Beans, Bullets, water, cold gear, wet weather gear, etc. Think anything you would put in a truck or in a pack and hump.

This list is just one idea of what to have.Some of this stuff you will never need.

Never forget the all essential Ranger Handbook; ask anyone on the internet all the Tabbies carry one..


Judging by the "combat load" he owns one of these:

All I know is that lack of water can take you out of the fight before you ever even get there sometimes.
Water is always level 1 or 2 for me.

this guy seems as though he's going TO the fight, not trying to stay out of it.

True, water is a level 1. Needing to forage for it adds risks.

If he is, he won't have much energy left for the fight. :D

you got that right!

when i saw the loadout of 7-13 30rd mags and 2-400rds of ammo i remembered the day i humped just 6 mags, an AKM and a bit of fencing gear up the ridge out back to check my borders. granted, the climb is 250ft to the top, up a 30-40 degree rocky grade and i smoked then, but that whooped my ass.

yeah, i didn't need all the mags....no mehicans 'round here. i just wanted to see if i could do it. :)
