    Gear Stand

    So, in following the storied American tradition of the Minuteman, all my gear is ready to go at a moment's notice. From boots to cover, pack, everything I'd take to fight is there and in a manner that, as much as possible, is quick to don.

    It's all in a fucking pile.

    I remember seeing Samurai traditionally having their armor on a stand and on display in a prominent position in their house. Some of these are impressively imposing BTW, like scare the shit out of guests imposing.




    I don't really want it seen or intricate, or ornate, as it will be out of sight, but I do want it where I can re-position pouches and gear more easily, hang all of my stuff in an orderly fashion, and when it's wet or dirty, make it easier to dry or clean.

    There are still Samurai armor stands made;



    ........but that looks WAY too weak for a 200 plus round load out and eventually plates.

    Anybody have something like this? Anybody have any thoughts/ideas?

    I like the use of cedar. I don't like that it looks like a cross/memorial. I can easily fix that though I think.

    I've got a torch and a welder. And know how to use 'em.

    As for what I use . . . big, red, 1000 pound rated cargo load capacity. Works good for me.


    . . . until I need to find something small in it. Then it has waaaay too much stuff in it.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I'll build one for you and one for me Tack, if you spring for the materials.

    RR, my fully equipped woodshop thinks we should do it the opposite. It told me so.

    My bad. Don't know why I assumed you were "wood shop challenged"

    How about I buy the wood and the beer and we will use your shop ?

    That may work RR. We'll see. I have a feeling it will be some trial and error broken up across a few days. I'll build a prototype, then you and the beer can come over and we can fuck up and/or build yours.

    I think if I build it taller, then put in "shelves" for clothing, boots, socks, etc, and an offshoot of sorts for my pack straps, I could be in business.

    1x4's might not be up to the task.

    You saw his shed building thread?

    That worked for me.
