Mac Class Load out.

[30plusretlaw]

The closest the day gets, the more umprepared I feel. For those who are attending anf for those who had taken this or a similar class, what would be the ideal load out in terms of equipment/tools/clothing. I have an Idea, but I keep second guessing myself. I really don't want to be unprepare. Thanks in advance.

He has a recommended gear list:

Weapon & Gear Class Requirements:
- Carbine/Rifle of minimum 5.45 / 5.56 caliber
- Sling
- Minimum of 3 carbine/rifle magazines

- Minimum of 3 pistol magazines
- Serviceable holster
- Minimum 2 pistol magazine pouches
- Eye and ear protection
- Suitable range wear depending on the season
- Weapon cleaning & lubrication supplies
- Good attitude


Maybe some knee pads and a chest rig to round that out, if you think you need them.

[AB]

Whatever you bring, be prepared to be in it all day with the possibility of a lot of movement.

[Evil_McNasty]

Oh and a steel groin cup.

Just kidding.

[OscarMike1127]

Dress rehearse. Train how you would fight.

If you are unprepared, you will know for sure once the class is done.

[Dale Gribble]

What should you bring?



Depends.

Damm I have everything but the good attitude. :-)

[Dale Gribble]

I'm going to wear a thong. That is the right range wear for any season.

Did you learn that from the thong biker up your way?

Yeah, I think he finally put on pants or died, haven't seen him in years.

[Bodo]

Me neither and I'm kind of thankful.

[Dale Gribble]

I believe the guy is dead. It's been about 5 years since I have had the unpleasant site of old man taint on a bicycle..... or in Wal-Mart.... Crazy bastards did not give a fuckkkk.

[Airgator0470]

I'm wearing comfortable clothing, paddle ALS holster, simple Mini-MAV with 3 AR mags/2 Pistol mags, maybe one kydex AR/pistol mag on my belt, and that's it.

[HarleyBrent]

He was up on sexual battery charges maybe he got convicted?

[SB]

Duty belt with places for 3 or 4 or pistol and rifle.
Will bring a chest rig, but I don't know if I will use it.
Truck load of ammo, guns, and snacks.
Probably carry pistol in Mule rig or dropped offset.

[mattb]

A friend told me once, "don't be the guy that shows up with the minimum number of mags".

[AB]

Solid advice.

[Dale Gribble]

I think I've decided to run the AK in this little soiree. Anyone else running something other than a M16/M4 gun?

Late to the party but I'll be running an AK as well. We can be Kalashnikov Kin.

[Tack Driver]

This may shock you all, but I procrastinated a bit getting my non-SHTF kit together.

Fuck it. We'll do it live! :gunfire:

[Gatorvet]

Not gonna practice like you play?

[Tack Driver]

I tell all the time, if you have to "get ready", you ain't ready.

[Josh]

Yeah I screwed the pooch on this as well. There always seems to be time till there ain't.

[SB]

Also, load some mags up beforehand. That way you can listen while instead of loading all the time.
And dump all 20 round boxes into an ammo can.
What is the food situation like? As in where we gonna eat or is it lunch on the ground.

I'd bring my lunch in a cooler....

How will the roads be with the rain? Will a regular car make it?

Bitch, you got a Jeep.

[Tack Driver]

If anybody still up has Bob's range address, I need it ASAP. Text me at 850-fo' 5 9-1461.

[Tack Driver]

Got it. Thanks y'all.

[Josh]

Bitch, you got a Jeep.
Said jeep just blew a rad hose and who knows what else. I will be renting the cheapest car I can get to make sure I am not sitting on the road side missing any Pat Mac time.

[Airgator0470]

The road is fine even when it rains.

GO SLOW.... YOU WILL NOT GET STUCK... DO NOT RUN THROUGH THE WATER PUDDLES AS YOU WILL ONLY MAKE UNNECESSARY RUTS. Even after much more significant storms than what is coming, the road ahs always been good to go... it might look bad but it is good.

Jeeps are awesome.

They break down where even tow trucks can't go.

Rental cars are the best off road implements ever!

Most of them come already trained.

You'll obviously never dealt with a rental car agency on an insurance claim. Trust me you don't want to. 1/2" hole in plastic rear bumper, $1000.

The additional insurance on a rental car is the only way to fly. For about $30 per day you can beat the living fuck out of the car.

Dale, have you actually ever had a claim?

I bought airline tickets, rental car, trip and car insurance online at Travelocity. After the fact I find out the insurance is with a third party not Enterprise. It was a major cluster, and they aren't real forth coming with any of that on the front end.

Yes. I turned the car in and walked away. But I didn't buy third party insurance.

When you rent a car you are responsible for anything that happens to it. If you return it with a ding you have to pay to fix the ding and pay for the time the vehicle is out of service waiting for the ding to be repaired. Often your auto insurance covers this, however its a major PITA because (as you found out) they want the money NOW.

When I rent its mostly from Hertz, they are self insured and there car coverage is a waiver not insurance so it waves your responsibility to the repair/damage, you just walk away.

I found out a few years ago a couple of reasons why they self insure.

#1. They make a big profit they don't have to share.
#2. They pay to fix the cars themselves, and ergo nothing ever gets put into CarFax.

BRING PISTOL AND RIFLE BOTH DAYS....

[Tack Driver]

It was terrible. He let loose a a cage of spider monkeys that came at us with a vengeance. We had to shoot them. Oh, the wailing and waning.

[Bodo]

Translation please

[SB]

Were they ill tempered?

[Airgator0470]

Translation please

It was the first time I've ever seen one close up... they are very hard to hit and even harder to put down... I should have brought my .45ACP
