1 BASIC GEAR KIT FOR MULTIPLE SOF IMPRESSIONS (MIL-SIM)

[Unconventional]

This post is not for myself or for my son. We already have "real deal" gear kit put together for 3 SOF's impressions...for the most part, although not perfect...lol! This is for those out there who want to acquire an accurate/semi-accurate, "real deal" kit/load-out for multiple SOF's impressions but want to only buy one gear kit....or can only buy one gear kit.

Again, I'm posting this for those who are wanting to put together an accurate or semi-accurate, universal or multiple SOF's impressions kit/load-out for both "greenside" and "blackside" events or environments, but don't have the money... or do have the money but don't want to spend a lot on their MIL-SIM/air-soft gear and/or are item specific when they shop. Meaning they target and then buy each specific item that could go with multiple or at least more than one load-out.

After we get a solid, full-on consensus over a period of time, I'll put up a generally agreed upon kit list right here for the "multiple impressions kit". Remember...this is for multiple SOF type impressions, not standard military, PMC or other impressions. AND...this is just for the main kit items, not what you're going to attach to your kit (those items are obviously impression specific...and changed out per what impression your going to use this universal kit for)...get it?

Let's keep this post limited to the following basic items, starting from head to toe:
