not the packs themselves but more the style and type difference.
I long for a condor II but can't afford one just yet however the only packs anyone in Australia sells is the type on the left, why is this? You can get surplus gear but its worn to shit most of the time and surplus stores give no shits about anything being quality.

Whats your opinion and explain.

I tend to avoid tacticool shit for two reasons:

1. It's not practical.
I own a bag like the one on the right and I'm embarrassed that I do. It's a horribly cumbersome bag that you literally have to under pack in order for it to feel right. It has no frame support so all the weight is on your shoulders. Also the bag itself is unnecessarily heavy.

2. I don't want to be poser (anymore)
I finally moved away from military looking crap when some guy was convinced I had been in the army at one point because of the field jacket I was wearing. I felt like such a douching poser. I just thought it looked cool, but I wasn't trying to pretend I was in the army. I tend to avoid anything olive drab at this point.

Wearing mill is fine if you were mill but for anyone else, its beyond gay. Especially when civ equipment is good enough or better than depending on what you're doing.

Being a military veteran myself, I would have to disagree. If somebody is pretty broke and can pick up an old alice pack for $30 until they get something else, they're going to get something pretty durable and practical for the money. Might not be the most comfortable, but on a budget like that it's the best they're going to get and will be leaps and bounds better than a civy ruck in that range.

If you have the money though there is literally no reason to buy tacticool molle bullshit. Just overpriced, doesn't always fit well, might be rugged and well constructed depending on the manufacturer/materials though. Overall though not really worth it to drop $200+ on some zombie survival backpack with molle on it since if you took the time to shop around you could get a great ruck with a great frame that disperses the weight a lot better. The only use outside of my IOTV I found for molle was for my etool and to throw a canteen on my ruck.

I've had a camelbak backpack, one of the larger ones I believe they stopped making them, since before I joined the army and I think maybe since my sog has a molle sheath I put it on there once? Maybe? Point being is that it's not really all that useful. I mean are you going to cover your entire backpack with pouches or something and take 100% advantage of all that molle webbing, then snag all your shit on some tree branches?

I'm not necessarily telling people that they are faggots and they shouldn't get it, but don't buy one of those expensive molle backpacks for a backpacking trip and expect my to take you seriously, when I know full well that you could have gotten something much better for the job, likely for a better price.

I guess you can still buy it from camelbak actually, but they only have coyote available.

Mine is in black and damn I'm glad I got it as a gift for joining the army. It's the only remotely military thing I'll take out, with the exception of my poly pros and my field jacket liner. For just taking it out hiking for the day it's not too bad, and has plenty of space to use to take to the airport or something along those lines. If I saw somebody who wasn't in the military using it or anything similar I could really care less, unless they were trying to take it on a backpacking trip or just something impractical. Then I would start to make assumptions about their intelligence.

Another vet here, you can get an ALICE pack and frame for cheap and mod it for MOLLE. It's a good inexpensive way to get out and you can get used to it, though civilian gear tends to be more comfortable.
It just depends on your budget really.

The problem with psychadelics is that it feels like your mind has been opened and whatnot when in reality the opposite is true: it actually massively reduces the activity in your brain and worsens your ability at things like problem solving. So you may feel like you've understood the universe but it's actually all a lie

Yeah, you don't need anything more than 'camper walkies.' This particular type was developed so people could talk at the range you quoted without buying a license or having to pass an exam. Unless by "2+ miles" you mean "2-2,000 miles" then MURS is more than enough. GMRS requires a $90 license fee, and FRS doesn't have enough power (legally) to do what you want.

>A GMRS license will cost you (and each non-family member) $90 for 5 years
Price went down a year or two ago, iirc it's a $60/5-year license now. Might even be less than that.
Callsign/license is good for a family. You'll need that callsign if you want to use repeaters.
No exam for that test, just fill out the appropriate forms and send in your fees and the FCC issues a call.

>>620944
>HAM (amateur radio operator, technician class) is free
Most VEC's (group of volunteers administering the exams) charge ~$17 to take a test... covers administrative expenses, postage, etc.
If you pass one, they'll almost always let you take the next test as well.
If you're good, you can go from no-license to extra in one sitting for one $17 fee.
Might be able to do it for free through a university/school-sponsored VEC, but the vast majority of them are in the $15-20 range.

Commercial's a bitch of an exam, and a little over $100 plus filing fees. Coordinated pairs or trunk groups are big $$$$$.

MURS is okay for small group comms. My biggest issue with those radios are that you limit yourself to you and your group with them. Using FRS, almost everyone has them, and they're readily available for cheap at sporting goods stores. Want to go out with a different group one weekend? Coordinate a channel/tone with them and you can all use your own equipment and comm with each other.

If you do go with a baofeng/yaesu/kenwood/whatever and program in FRS/GMRS freqs, print out a "cheat-sheet" of the codes/tones. It'll save you from having to spend 10 minutes searching through the PL tone frequencies for the equivalent "7" "sub-channel". (85.4Hz PL).

True, but the benefits of VHF vs. UHF propagation, as well as the extra (legal) power, are enough to make it more effective in variable terrain.
