My recommended shopping list is here: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4586578&forum_id=2#41143621 -- but I don't give specific recs and there's a lot left up to you, as specific recs depend on price range and your situation; you could spend anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000 buying everything on that list, depending on how gucci you go.

Poast budget, any guns/tactical gear you already own, and your situation and I will give personal recs on what to buy before the coming troubles.

EDIT: This is Hegemon; if you have questions and don't want to drop them here, make a thread with my name in it.

what's your budget for gear? do you already have plates, carrier, or chest rig?

and are you downtown in a major city/suburbs/rural?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41148694)

No plates or gear like that

Currently close to downtown of a major city, but I can easily escape to deep suburbs if I need to

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41148731)

on my to do list at the moment. hard to figure this stuff out during covid

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41148769)

1. Carry holster for whichever of your pistols you wanna CCW, if you don't already have one -- $60-120. Idk which you would carry so I'm not gonna link a specific one.

2. Viper Tactical chest rig -- $60: https://www.military1st.com/bvchrigsopscoy-viper-special-ops-chest-rig-coyote.html

- cheap but not bad at all; way better than condor shit

3. Gas cans for your car -- $80: https://www.amazon.com/GarageBOSS-GB351-Gallon-Press-Pour/dp/B07GBBG5LZ/

- IDK what you drive but your car is the only thing keeping you from walking everywhere when shit hits the fan, so unless you drive a pickup with an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed, get some of these you can throw in your trunk or backseat that you can fill up when things start looking bad so you can extend your range if you have to drive.

4. Cheap backpack -- $50-80: https://www.amazon.com/NEVO-Backpack-Expandable-Capacity-Lightweight/dp/B07PYS7LSD

- I don't know what size you need to pack basic survival shit (fire kit, water container and filtration, tarp/poncho, cordage, sleeping bag) and anything else you want to be able to keep on you if you're on foot, but don't get one bigger than 60l -- you may have to hump that bitch around and weight matters. This should function as a day pack if you need to go out when shit hits and you're already holed up.

5. Solatac Multi-Casualty first aid kit -- $270: https://solatac.com/home/index.php/product/multi-cas-kit/

- if you or your family have an injury you can't treat, you are FUCKED. Get this and then learn how to use it.

6. Lifestraws -- $20-200: https://www.lifestraw.com/collections/frontpage

- You need water filtration for you and any in your party; if you have family, get them each a straw and also get the family filtration system so you can set it up wherever you go. Which individual models you get is up to you -- basic straw is cheaper but the Go and Flex model that come with a bottle and bladder respectively are way easier to use.

7. Baofeng radio pack -- $200: https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-Antennas-Speaker-Batteries-Programming/dp/B077BRMVLB/

- get this if you have family you're gonna wanna communicate with; if not, get one baofeng and spend the rest on a AA battery clamshell and an extended antenna for it.

8. Duty/battle belt -- $200-350: https://www.ronintactics.com/store/p80/Task_Force_%28TF%29_Belt.html

- it's helpful to have a belt you can quickly put on and take off with your gear on it, rather than trying to use your pants belt as a molle belt. Outfit as needed with the following:

• AR mag pouches: https://esstac.com/5-56/

• Pistol mag pouches: https://esstac.com/shop-all/magazine-pouches/pistols/

• Pistol holster: safariland is best but which model just depends on which gun you wanna carry

9. Level 3 plates -- $400-3,000 at this point you should be saving for armor. I know it's expensive. IDK which level plates you want, but get level 3 or better, and I recommend shooter's cut in at least 10x12. Buy Hesco, Ceradyne, Velocity Systems, Protech, BAE Systems, LTC/Hoplite, TenCate, Highcom, or Mehler Vario -- most other brands are chinkshit. AR500, Botach, any steel armor, etc. is largely a waste of money.

10. Carrier -- see approved brands here: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4586578&forum_id=2#41143621

11. Thompson/Center bolt action in .308 or Creedmoor -- $550: https://www.tcarms.com/firearms/bolt-action-rifles/venture/venture-ii

- This is so low because you're very urban and also probably aren't going to be actively sniping people; if you want to be an effective urban guerilla though, this should be way higher. Decent value for the money.

12. Vortex Diamondback 6-24x scope for the bolt gun -- $500: https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-diamondback-tactical-6-24x50-ffp-riflescope.html?vortex_reticle=22

13. Harris type bipod for bolt gun -- $45: https://www.amazon.com/UTG-High-pro-Shooters-Bipod-Rubber/dp/B001BR4VME

There you go.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41149448)

- AR in 5.56

- pistol (full size or mid size)

- bolt or gas gun in 7.62/Creedmoor/bigger (e.g. .300 WinMag, .338 Lapua)

- .22lr semiautomatic rifle

- semiauto shotgun

- subcompact pistol

the rest is just extra, and I'd put armor/chest rig before all but two of those guns.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41153520)

Basic Assault Rifle 15

Get as much ammo as you can purchase with the rest of the money.

1. Canik TP9SA -- find one of these new in box (NIB) (important because it comes with an extra mag and a holster) on gunbroker, and don't pay more than $450: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/882013070

- CCW holster -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/Fierce-Defender-Holster-Winter-Warrior/dp/B075F8S1VB

- light for pistol -- $125: https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-69260-Weapon-Tactical-Flashlight/dp/B00B8Q31UQ

2. Any of the following for under $900 -- but prioritize ones with a longer handguard/rail like the first or second link:

- https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881895664

- https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881972354

- https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881634660

- https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881758403

- https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880064072

3. Sling for rifle -- $15: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071W3P55P/

- sling mount points -- $10: https://www.amazon.com/3-Pack-Swivel-System-Tactical-Swivels/dp/B08JCN5XDY/

4. 5 mags for rifle -- $65: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/magpul-pmag-30-ar-m4-gen-m2-moe-magazine

5. Red dot for rifle -- $140: https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Holosun-Paralow-HS403B-Red-Dot-Sight-with-Push-But-p/holo-hs403b.htm

6. Streamlight light/mount/button for rifle -- $170: https://www.patriotoutfitters.com/streamlight-pro-tac-rail-mount-hl-x-weapon-light

7. Viper tactical chest rig -- $60: https://www.military1st.com/bvchrigsopscoy-viper-special-ops-chest-rig-coyote.html

8. Radio -- $60: https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Dual-Band-Handheld-Complete-Programming/dp/B08GPS9MF9/

9. Backpack -- $60: https://www.amazon.com/NEVO-RHINO-Internal-Backpack-Ultralight/dp/B07S8MVT2J/

10. Ammo:

- Rifle -- $200: https://greencountryammo.com/556-x-45mm-55gr-TP-Lead-Free-Frangible-Ammunition-Non-Toxic-FREE-AMMO-CAN-ON-SALE-LIMITED-TIME-Reman-Brass-Bulk-Pack-300-Rounds-_p_156.html

- Pistol -- $125: https://www.2awarehouse.com/patriot-defense-9mm-115gr-fmj-reman-brass-250-rounds-bulk-limit-1/?utm_source=ammoseek

TOTAL: $2,360

That gives you some ammo to zero the rifle and get comfortable with both guns. DO NOT JUST BLOW THROUGH THE AMMO -- do dryfire drills and keep range drills low round count so you maximize ammo efficiency. Keep 180 rifle rounds and 100 pistol rounds in reserve, and buy more rifle ammo as able.

Outer edge of medium-large city

Budget: whatever it takes, but let’s start at $20 G

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41150437)

1. Wilson's Enhanced P320 Carry Action Tune with Straight trigger (second link claims in-stock) -- $1,400: https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Order-Wilson_SIG-Collaboration-Pistols/products/1306/ / https://www.smpguns.com/wilson-combat/beretta-glock-sig-1401/sig-wilson-combat-p320-carry-tan-module-9mm-action-tune-with-straight-trigger-3131371

- three pistol mags -- $150: https://gunmagwarehouse.com/sig-sauer-p250-p320-9mm-21-round-magazine.html

- Concealed Carry holster -- $65: https://fieldcraftsurvival.com/products/sig-sauer-p320-low-vis-holster-iwb

- Surefire pistol light -- $300: https://www.surefire.com/products/illumination/weapon-lights/x300u-b/

- Trijicon RMR red dot -- $550: https://www.opticsplanet.com/trijicon-3-25-adj-red-rmr-type-2.html

- 1,000 rounds 9mm (save 500 rounds; the rest can be used to train) -- $550: https://www.extremereloadingnv.com/product/extreme-reloading-9mm-115gr-rn-reload-1/

2. A high quality AR. I've given you a few options because with that budget, you can sort of pick whatever you want. My recommendation is get the SR-15 or the Radian with the Vortex for $5k. That said, there are a few options for you below. Price is the max you should pay for that model:

- KAC SR-15 -- $2,800: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881868909 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881888136

- Triarc TSR-15SE -- $2,300: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881669655

- Radian Model 1 -- $2,800 (first link is more because it comes with an excellent scope and mount; a great deal if you want it): https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880981697 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880599948 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881780522

- LaRue PredatOBR -- $2,600: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880051851

- Christensen Arms CA-15 -- $2,200: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879608651

- Daniel Defense M4 V7 -- $1,900: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881304796 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881805902 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881597959

- Geissele Super Duty -- $1,900: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881946995

3. Ammo. Zero your optics with the 62gr, but other than that do nothing with it; practice with the 55gr. Stockpile 1,000 rounds of 5.56 (as much of this as possible should be 62gr); the rest can be used to train.

- 2,000 rounds 5.56 -- $1,420: https://www.finfeatherfur.com/winchester-5-56-nato-62gr-m855-fmj-green-tip-case-of-1000-rounds/ + https://miwallcorp.com/winchester-ammunition-5-56-55-Grain-full-metal-jacket-1000-rounds-case/

4. Ferro Slingster -- $55: https://www.skdtac.com/Ferro-Concepts-The-Slingster-Updated-p/fer.113.htm

5. 10 ETS AR Mags -- $180: https://www.etsgroup.us/ETS-Group-AR15-Magazine-30-Round-p/ar15-30.htm

6. AR light -- $430: https://www.opticsplanet.com/surefire-scout-light-500-lumens-white-light.html

7. A high quality Low Power Variable Optic. These are great because you can use them as a red dot and also as a scope -- if you need a single do-it-all optic, these are it. If you got the Radian with the Vortex above, you can skip this. Vortex is backordered but you can find them on Tacswap. I'd get the Vortex because it's a little cheaper with better zoom, better field of view, and they have the best warranty around, but Nightforce is good enough SOCOM adopted it. Can't go wrong with either.

- Vortex Razor Gen III 1-10x24 -- $2,300: https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-razor-hd-gen-iii-1-10x24-riflescope.html / https://www.tacswap.com/post/5f3d149e8351100007af373b

- Nightforce ATACR 1-8x24 -- $2,800: https://www.opticsplanet.com/nightforce-atacr-1-8x24-34mm-riflescope.html

8. Badger 34mm scope condition one modular mount -- $305: https://ustacticalsupply.com/conditiononemodularmount.aspx

9. Offset red dot. The utility in having this offset in addition to the scope is a) having a backup sight in the unlikely event the scope fails, and b) dots have unlimited eye relief, meaning they are much faster than a scope in close quarters. Offsetting a dot with your LPVO is best of both worlds.

- Aimpoint Micro T2 -- $800: https://www.opticsplanet.com/aimpoint-micro-t-2-red-dot-sight-200170.html

10. Badger offset red dot mount (backordered) -- $90: https://www.eurooptic.com/Badger-Ordnance-COMM-J-arm-Tan-Mount-200-10.aspx + https://www.eurooptic.com/Badger-Ordnance-COMM-Aimpoint-T1-T2-Tan-Micro-Sight-Mount-200-11.aspx

- If you got the Radian with the Vortex on a Scalarworks mount, get the Arisaka offset mount instead (being careful to get the correct baseplate) -- $140: https://milspecretail.com/product/firearm-accessories/sights-optics/optic-mounts/arisaka-defense-offset-optic-mount/

11. Here's where you have to figure out part of how you want to set up your plate carrier. It's fairly personalized -- what I like on mine may be very different than you want on yours. At a minimum, I'd do the Kangaroo panel, side pouches and then get a radio pocket, some 5.56 pouches (which strap onto the lasercuts all over the carrier), and maybe a few utility pouches. This gives you the ability to add carrying capacity as needed, but don't do so unnecessarily -- you should try to go as slick as possible. All told, you're looking at around $700 here.

- LBT G3 Plate Carrier -- $355: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3

- Kangaroo panel -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/6904b

- Side pouches -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/2739qk

- 5.56 speed draw pouches (only need one or two of these) -- $37: https://lbtinc.com/collections/apchs/products/6146

- 5.56 pouches -- $45: https://lbtinc.com/collections/rifle-magazine-pouches/products/9010?variant=16404313079851

- Radio pocket -- $55: https://lbtinc.com/collections/radio-pouches/products/6015d

- Utility pouches: https://lbtinc.com/collections/utlp

12. Hesco 4800 Large 10x12 shooter cut plates x2 -- $2,600: https://sabersolutions.com/collections/hesco-armor/products/hesco-4800-level-iv-standalone?variant=21332281720912

13. Mayflower UW chest rig (it's not uncommon to want a chest rig for times you don't want to lug armor around but also want some sort of fighting capability in the even something unexpected comes up; typically used when moving long distances on foot and trying to stay lightweight) -- $203: https://www.velsyst.com/products/uw-chest-rig-gen-iv

14. A fighting belt is different from a regular belt in that it has molle webbing to attach pouches. It should have a holster, at least one pistol mag pouch, and first aid kit; the rest is personal preference -- I like to run two AR mags on my belt, there are some people who run four, some who run none. More info on setting up a belt here: https://youtu.be/__78Ve2dIUo General upside of a belt is that it puts weight on your hips instead of shoulders (where a plate carrier or chest rig places it). I'm linking the QLS system with the holster below because it's very handy when in vehicles to be able to take the holster off the belt. All told, looking at about $5-600

- Ronin Tactics molle belt -- $200: https://www.ronintactics.com/store/p80/Task_Force_%28TF%29_Belt.html

- Safariland 7377 pistol holster with QLS system: https://safariland.com/products/model-7377-7ts-als-concealment-belt-loop-holster-34850 + https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MF48AQ/ + https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002868Q46/ + https://www.trex-arms.com/store/New-Thigh-Strap/ + https://store.otdefense.com/products/als-nub-mod-black

- Pistol mag pouches: https://esstac.com/shop-all/magazine-pouches/pistols/

- Blue force micro trauma kit (basic supplies, molle mount -- don't use to treat things when you have access to the big solatac kit) -- $130: https://www.blueforcegear.com/medical-items.html

- AR mag pouches: https://esstac.com/5-56/

15. ESEE 4 knife -- $115: https://www.bladehq.com/item--ESEE-RAT-Cutlery-RC4--4378

- you can carry this on the plate carrier or on your belt, but you should have it on one of those. I like belt.

16. Peltor Sport Tac 500 electronic hearing protection -- $120: https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Electronic-Protector-Bluetooth-Protection/dp/B06W56YRWJ

- If you want any situational awareness at all after 10 rounds, you'll want these

17. Waterproof backpack (50 liter) -- $60: https://www.amazon.com/NEVO-Backpack-Expandable-Capacity-Lightweight/dp/B07PYS7LSD

- You should carry the survival kit (#19) in this

18. Solatac Multi-Casualty first aid kit (add ibuprofen and tylenol to this) -- $270: https://solatac.com/home/index.php/product/multi-cas-kit/

19. Five CATourniquets (add 3 to main med kit, keep two on you in pockets/pouches when shit kicks off) -- $150: https://www.narescue.com/combat-application-tourniquet-c-a-t.html

20. Survival kit. This is a combination of things you should throw together; I realize you're likely far from a survivalist, but if shit happens and you've got to move, you'd rather have this stuff than not -- trust me. Keep this in the waterproof backpack.

- You need water filtration for you and any in your party; if you have family, get them each a straw and also get the family filtration system so you can set it up wherever you go. Which individual models you get is up to you -- basic straw is cheaper but the Go and Flex models that come with a bottle and bladder respectively are way easier to use. Lifestraws -- $20-200: https://www.lifestraw.com/collections/frontpage

- Fire kit. This is just a gallon ziplock, which you should fill a quarter of the way with petroleum jelly, and then fill to the halfway mark with cotton balls. Close the ziplock and knead the vaseline into the cotton balls until they're thoroughly saturated; add more vaseline as needed. Add a 5 pack of bic lighters and this is set.

- 200' of paracord -- $25: https://www.amazon.com/PARACORD-PLANET-Mil-Spec-Commercial-Paracord/dp/B00ACL4VJI/

- 20° sleeping bag (if in colder climate, you may want to get a better one than this; I can recommend a few) -- $130: https://www.thenorthface.com/shop/eco-trail-synthetic-20-nf0a3s76

- Sleeping pad -- $45: https://www.rei.com/product/829826/therm-a-rest-z-lite-sol-sleeping-pad

- Poncho/shelter -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/USGI-Industries-Military-Emergency-Survival/dp/B083YNW98M/

- Water container, either a canteen or bladder; I like this one:

- Food; you can get MREs, or get 5 pounds of beef jerky and some of these bars -- just make sure you have some non-perishable food ready to go in case you have to hit the road: https://www.sosproducts.com/SOS-food-bar-p/350237.htm

- Solar phone charger -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/26800mAh-Riapow-Wireless-Portable-Flashlight/dp/B088WG2VXT/

- Garmin GPS -- $330: https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-GPSMAP-High-Sensitivity-GLONASS-Receiver/dp/B00HWL9BQ4/

- Headlamp -- $15: https://www.amazon.com/GearLight-Headlamp-Flashlight-S500-PACK/dp/B07QGRWZNB/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=headlamp&qid=1603254078&sr=8-5

21. Radio. if you have family, get the set; otherwise, get the single.

- Baofeng set -- $150: https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-Amateur-Walkie-Talkies-Portable/dp/B07ZX5CWPW/

- Baofeng single -- $110: https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-UV-5X3-Tri-Band-Amateur-Earpiece/dp/B01J2W4JUI/ + https://www.amazon.com/Nagoya-NA-320A-2M-1-25M-70CM-144-220-440Mhz-BTECH/dp/B01K10B9XK/ + https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-PC03-Genuine-Programming-Cable/dp/B00HUB0ONK/

22. Five to ten gas cans (depending on your vehicle/space) -- $125-250: https://www.amazon.com/GarageBOSS-GB351-Gallon-Press-Pour/dp/B07GBBG5LZ/

- this will extend your driving range significantly; when things start getting bad you can fill them and place them in your trunk

23. Salomon Quest boots -- $230: https://www.rei.com/product/127770/salomon-quest-4d-3-gtx-hiking-boots-mens

- Best boots I've ever worn, and if things go to shit you need footwear that can take a beating in the event you're outside

24. Shooting gloves -- $45: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/ironsight-sensor-gloves-266842?cat=136,26,6

25. Ruger 10/22 (use for plinking, small game) -- $230: https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/ruger-1022-carbine-blackgray-semi-automatic-rifle-22-long-rifle/p/1538005

- Leapers 1-8x28 scope -- $150: https://www.opticsplanet.com/leapers-utg-1-8x28-30mm-close-quarters-multi-range-combat-riflescope.html

- Talley mount rings (high) -- $60: https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/product/ruger-rimfire-10-22-steel-rings-for-dovetail-setup/

- 2,000 rounds .22 -- $60 x4 -- https://www.sgammo.com/product/22-lr-ammo/500-round-brick-22-lr-remington-thunderbolt-40-grain-lead-hv-bulk-pack-ammo-tb22b

26. Thompson/Center bolt action in .308 -- $550: https://www.tcarms.com/firearms/bolt-action-rifles/venture/venture-ii

- As I said in the other poast where I recommend this, it's as low as it is because you're very urban and also probably aren't going to be actively sniping people; if you want to be an effective, active urban guerilla, this should be much higher and we would prioritize a better bolt gun + add in a Kestrel ballistics calculator; as is, this is sufficient for some rudimentary sniping or for hunting.

- Vortex Diamondback 6-24x scope -- $500: https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-diamondback-tactical-6-24x50-ffp-riflescope.html?vortex_reticle=22

- Harris type bipod -- $45: https://www.amazon.com/UTG-High-pro-Shooters-Bipod-Rubber/dp/B001BR4VME

- 750 rounds 7.62 (use up to 250rds of this to zero optics and create a dope chart) $150 x3 -- https://lohmanarms.com/product/fiocchi-308-winchester-147gr-fmj-ammo-250ct-bulk-pack/

TOTAL: ~$19,850 (estimating high where item choice is allowed, and assigning guesstimates to items not priced/linked, such as lighters).

I highly recommend getting training with this stuff. This list will give you excellent quality stuff, such that you will be more than set equipment-wise for anything that comes your way. However, if you don't have training, you're still gonna be up shit creek without a paddle. I fucking love nice guns and gear, as is surely obvious, but if forced to choose, it is better to buy middle-of-the-road equipment and spend the rest on training. I recommend the following training companies, in order of preference:

- GBRS Group (the very best on this list -- entirely former DEVGRU SEALs -- but idk if they're taking civilian clients rn)

- Fieldcraft Survival

- Tony Cowden / Capable Inc.

- Haley Strategic

- Ronin Tactics (stupidly kitschy at times, but one of the best tactical instructors I've ever seen)

- Aztec Training Services

- Core Vision Training

- Esoteric / Yousef Sansour

- Frank Proctor Shooting

- Kagwerks

- Viking Tactics / Kyle Lamb

- Vigilance Elite

- Pat McNamara

- Direct Action Resource Center (DARC)

- Shaw Shooting

- Combat Shooting and Tactics (CSAT) / Paul Howe

- Baer Solutions

- Lead Faucet Tactical

- Trident Concepts

- Thunder Ranch

- Gunsite Academy

- Sage Dynamics

- EAG Tactical

Let me know if you have any questions (or if you'd like the longer range gun prioritized a little more highly).

It'll give you a fantastic AR10 rather than an ok bolt gun.

Only thing left after night vision is to get a little more survival equipment and a drone you can use to surveil targets.

- Garand Thumb (AFSOC guy who does a ton of gear reviews; look at his setup videos)

- Fieldcraft Survival / Mike Glover (ex-CAG, CIA, and Green Beret who runs a training company; look up his "basics of pistol" and "basics of carbine" videos, and his CQB videos)

- Vigilance Elite / Shawn Ryan (ex-SEAL and CIA, runs training company, has great videos on CQB room entry and what range you should use to zero your carbine)

a) motherfucking expensive as fuck to get quality (hell, even the shit stuff is expensive)

b) the single greatest advantage you can have

If you have the cash to burn, fuck yeah; if not, it's not gonna kill you -- people have been doing combat without it for thousands of years.

NV can be scopes, binoculars, or goggles; goggles are typically best. Goggles are typically helmet mounted; this can be either a ballistic helmet which would serve as body armor, or a "bump" helmet which really protects against nothing except bumping your head -- but it is lighter and much cheaper. Another option is a mount like this: https://www.raptortactical.com/home/106-raptor-tactical-sentinel-skull-crusher-gen-20.html -- I don't recommend given that if you're getting nods, you can afford a decent ballistic helmet.

There are a few different types:

- monoculars which cover one eye; half of your vision is dark and half is NV. this is known to take a ton of training and reps to get used to. Don't recommend unless you're able to commit that time.

- dual tubes (e.g. a tube for both eyes); this is much better, but also more expensive. This is best middle ground imo.

- pano tubes which run two tubes to each eye -- see: https://www.eotechinc.com/ground-panoramic-night-vision-goggle-gpnvg-white-phosphor -- and will no shit run you $50,000 -- it's also what US SOF uses and there's nothing better. You really don't need this unless you have cash to burn.

Best color to get is white phosphor, imo; see this video for comparison and realize all three devices he's using are incredibly high quality ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zns4sqYTVDg&ab_channel=NITEWALKER

If you get NVG, you can mount infrared and laser to your rifle to see and shoot even better in the dark

Daniel Defense M4V11 pro with light, eotech + magnifier, sling, forward grip. 5 mags, 500 rounds.

M1A Super Match with sling. 3 magazines and 500 rounds.

Benelli m4 (m1014). 100 rounds.

Ruger 10/22 with vortex. 5 magazines and 2k rounds.

Budget of 3k - not looking for body armor / tacticool shit. Urban city with restrictive gun laws.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41150687)

- PSA 9mm "pistol" -- $750. Out of stock rn but decent home defense PCC, can stick a dot and a light on for another few hundred dollars: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-8-9mm-1-10-7-lightweight-m-lok-moe-sba3-pistol-5165450029.html

- Suppressors; get a form 1 and suppress whatever gun you anticipate grabbing if something goes bump in the night (presumably the Glock) -- it will be far less traumatic on your wife and kid if that goes as quietly as possible.

- Alternatively, if the glock is your daily carry, buy a Sig P320 and form 1 that.

- If you don't already carry and you like Glock, get a Glock 26 and your CCW.

miscellaneous factors: single. live in urban setting (high rise with high walkability score but not right downtown in central business district). we had some protests in my neighborhood but nothing terrifying in terms of violence/property damage.

budget: idk you tell me what I need. I'm wagecuck rich ($400-$550k biglaw senior/counsel in a low SALT tax state), so I should probably be able to afford whatever if violent niggers really are gonna be breaking down my gate soon.

1. Pistol accessories:

- Concealed Carry holster -- $80: https://hiddenhybridholsters.com/products/glock-glock-19-23-25-32-38-single-clip-strong-side-appendix-iwb?_pos=4&_sid=adcd6107d&_ss=r

- Surefire pistol light -- $300: https://www.surefire.com/products/illumination/weapon-lights/x300u-b/

- Trijicon RMR red dot -- $550: https://www.opticsplanet.com/trijicon-3-25-adj-red-rmr-type-2.html

- 1,000 rounds 9mm (save 500 rounds; the rest can be used to train) -- $550: https://www.extremereloadingnv.com/product/extreme-reloading-9mm-115gr-rn-reload-1/

2. A high quality AR. I've given you a few options because with that budget, you can sort of pick whatever you want. My recommendation is get the SR-15 or the Radian with the Vortex for $5k. That said, there are a few options for you below. Price is the max you should pay for that model:

- KAC SR-15 -- $2,800: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881868909 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881888136

- Radian Model 1 -- $2,800 (first link is more because it comes with an excellent scope and mount; a great deal if you want it): https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880981697 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880599948 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881780522 / https://radianweapons.com/rifle?SID=58vfs3ukqbh4v2go5nvpicnh95

- Triarc TSR-15SE -- $2,300: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881669655

- LaRue PredatOBR -- $2,600: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880051851

- Christensen Arms CA-15 -- $2,200: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879608651

- Daniel Defense M4 V7 -- $1,900: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881304796 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881805902 / https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881597959

3. Ammo/mags/light. Zero your optics with the 62gr, but other than that do nothing with it; practice with the 55gr. Stockpile 1,000 rounds of 5.56 (as much of this as possible should be 62gr); the rest can be used to train.

- 2,000 rounds 5.56 -- $1,420: https://www.finfeatherfur.com/winchester-5-56-nato-62gr-m855-fmj-green-tip-case-of-1000-rounds/ + https://miwallcorp.com/winchester-ammunition-5-56-55-Grain-full-metal-jacket-1000-rounds-case/

- 10 ETS AR Mags -- $180: https://www.etsgroup.us/ETS-Group-AR15-Magazine-30-Round-p/ar15-30.htm

- AR light -- $430: https://www.opticsplanet.com/surefire-scout-light-500-lumens-white-light.html

4. Ferro Slingster -- $55: https://www.skdtac.com/Ferro-Concepts-The-Slingster-Updated-p/fer.113.htm

5. Forward grip -- $15-30: https://bravocompanyusa.com/vertical-grips-hand-stops/

- Whether to use a vertical foregrip, or an angled grip -- called a "KAG" on that page -- or nothing at all is an issue of personal preference, but in my experience they make it remarkably easier to reduce muzzle rise. Also realize that the short vertical grips are meant to be held like this: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Daniel-Defense-Vertical-Grip-2-1-768x512.jpg -- rather than like a handle.

6. A high quality Low Power Variable Optic. These are great because you can use them as a red dot and also as a scope -- if you need a single do-it-all optic, these are it. If you got the Radian with the Vortex above, you can skip this. Vortex is backordered but you can find them on Tacswap. I'd get the Vortex because it's a little cheaper with better zoom, better field of view, and they have the best warranty around, but Nightforce is good enough SOCOM adopted it. Can't go wrong with either.

- Vortex Razor Gen III 1-10x24 -- $2,300: https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-razor-hd-gen-iii-1-10x24-riflescope.html / https://www.tacswap.com/post/5f3d149e8351100007af373b

- Nightforce ATACR 1-8x24 -- $2,800: https://www.opticsplanet.com/nightforce-atacr-1-8x24-34mm-riflescope.html

7. Badger 34mm scope condition one modular mount -- $305: https://ustacticalsupply.com/conditiononemodularmount.aspx

8. Offset red dot. The utility in having this offset in addition to the scope is a) having a backup sight in the unlikely event the scope fails, and more importantly, b) dots have unlimited eye relief, meaning they are much faster than a scope in close quarters. Offsetting a dot with your LPVO is best of both worlds.

- Aimpoint Micro T2 -- $800: https://www.opticsplanet.com/aimpoint-micro-t-2-red-dot-sight-200170.html

9. Badger offset red dot mount (backordered) -- $90: https://www.eurooptic.com/Badger-Ordnance-COMM-J-arm-Tan-Mount-200-10.aspx + https://www.eurooptic.com/Badger-Ordnance-COMM-Aimpoint-T1-T2-Tan-Micro-Sight-Mount-200-11.aspx

- If you got the Radian with the Vortex on a Scalarworks mount, get the Arisaka offset mount instead (being careful to get the correct baseplate) -- $140: https://milspecretail.com/product/firearm-accessories/sights-optics/optic-mounts/arisaka-defense-offset-optic-mount/

10. Here's where you have to figure out part of how you want to set up your plate carrier. It's fairly personalized -- what I like on mine may be very different than you want on yours. At a minimum, I'd do the Kangaroo panel, side pouches and then get a radio pocket, some 5.56 pouches (which strap onto the lasercuts all over the carrier), and maybe a few utility pouches. This gives you the ability to add carrying capacity as needed, but don't do so unnecessarily -- you should try to go as slick as possible. All told, you're looking at around $700 here.

- LBT G3 Plate Carrier -- $355: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3

- Kangaroo panel -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/6904b

- Side pouches -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/2739qk

- 5.56 speed draw pouches (only need one or two of these) -- $37: https://lbtinc.com/collections/apchs/products/6146

- 5.56 pouches -- $45: https://lbtinc.com/collections/rifle-magazine-pouches/products/9010?variant=16404313079851

- Radio pocket -- $55: https://lbtinc.com/collections/radio-pouches/products/6015d

- Utility pouches: https://lbtinc.com/collections/utlp

11. Hesco 4800 Large 10x12 shooter cut plates x2 -- $2,600: https://sabersolutions.com/collections/hesco-armor/products/hesco-4800-level-iv-standalone?variant=21332281720912

12. Mayflower UW chest rig (it's not uncommon to want a chest rig for times you don't want to lug armor around but also want some sort of fighting capability in the even something unexpected comes up; typically used when moving long distances on foot and trying to stay lightweight) -- $203: https://www.velsyst.com/products/uw-chest-rig-gen-iv

13. A fighting belt is different from a regular belt in that it has molle webbing to attach pouches. It should have a holster, at least one pistol mag pouch, and first aid kit; the rest is personal preference -- I like to run two AR mags on my belt, there are some people who run four, some who run none. More info on setting up a belt here: https://youtu.be/__78Ve2dIUo General upside of a belt is that it puts weight on your hips instead of shoulders (where a plate carrier or chest rig places it). I'm linking the QLS system with the holster below because it's very handy when in vehicles to be able to take the holster off the belt. All told, looking at about $5-600

- Ronin Tactics molle belt -- $200: https://www.ronintactics.com/store/p80/Task_Force_%28TF%29_Belt.html

- Safariland 7377 pistol holster with QLS system: https://safariland.com/products/model-7377-7ts-als-concealment-belt-loop-holster-34850 + https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MF48AQ/ + https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002868Q46/ + https://www.trex-arms.com/store/New-Thigh-Strap/ + https://store.otdefense.com/products/als-nub-mod-black

- AR mag pouches: https://esstac.com/5-56/

14. ESEE 4 knife -- $115: https://www.bladehq.com/item--ESEE-RAT-Cutlery-RC4--4378

- you can carry this on the plate carrier or on your belt, but you should have it on one of those. I like belt.

15. Peltor Sport Tac 500 electronic hearing protection -- $120: https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Electronic-Protector-Bluetooth-Protection/dp/B06W56YRWJ

- If you want any situational awareness at all after 10 rounds, you'll want these

16. EXO Mountain Pack (3200) -- $650: https://exomtngear.com/collections/packs/products/k3-3200-pack-system?variant=19549187145795

- Excellent backpacking pack -- you should store/carry the survival kit (#19) in this

17. Solatac Multi-Casualty first aid kit (add ibuprofen and tylenol to this) -- $270: https://solatac.com/home/index.php/product/multi-cas-kit/

18. Five CATourniquets (add 3 to main med kit, keep two on you in pockets/pouches when shit kicks off) -- $150: https://www.narescue.com/combat-application-tourniquet-c-a-t.html

19. Survival kit. This is a combination of things you should throw together; I realize you're probably not a survivalist, but if shit happens and you've got to move, you'll want this stuff. Keep this in the waterproof backpack.

- You need water filtration; get a lifestraw flex -- $60: https://www.lifestraw.com/collections/frontpage

- Fire kit. This is just a gallon ziplock, which you should fill a quarter of the way with petroleum jelly, and then fill to the halfway mark with cotton balls. Close the ziplock and knead the vaseline into the cotton balls until they're thoroughly saturated; add more vaseline as needed. Add a 5 pack of bic lighters and this is set.

- 200' of paracord -- $25: https://www.amazon.com/PARACORD-PLANET-Mil-Spec-Commercial-Paracord/dp/B00ACL4VJI/

- 20° sleeping bag (if in colder climate, you may want to get a better one than this; I can recommend a few) -- $130: https://www.thenorthface.com/shop/eco-trail-synthetic-20-nf0a3s76

- Sleeping pad -- $45: https://www.rei.com/product/829826/therm-a-rest-z-lite-sol-sleeping-pad

- Poncho/shelter -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/USGI-Industries-Military-Emergency-Survival/dp/B083YNW98M/

- Water container, either a canteen or bladder; I like this one; MSR 4 liter water reservoir -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/MSR-Dromedary-Bag-Water-Reservoir/dp/B01MXWBDLV?th=1

- Food; you can get MREs, or get 5 pounds of beef jerky and some of these bars -- just make sure you have some non-perishable food ready to go in case you have to hit the road: https://www.sosproducts.com/SOS-food-bar-p/350237.htm

- Solar phone charger -- $40: https://www.amazon.com/26800mAh-Riapow-Wireless-Portable-Flashlight/dp/B088WG2VXT/

- Garmin GPS -- $330: https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-GPSMAP-High-Sensitivity-GLONASS-Receiver/dp/B00HWL9BQ4/

20. Baofeng + antenna -- $110: https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-UV-5X3-Tri-Band-Amateur-Earpiece/dp/B01J2W4JUI/ + https://www.amazon.com/Nagoya-NA-320A-2M-1-25M-70CM-144-220-440Mhz-BTECH/dp/B01K10B9XK/ + https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-PC03-Genuine-Programming-Cable/dp/B00HUB0ONK/

21. Five to ten gas cans (depending on your vehicle/space -- you need space for the rest of this list too) -- $125-250: https://www.amazon.com/GarageBOSS-GB351-Gallon-Press-Pour/dp/B07GBBG5LZ/

- this extends your driving range significantly; when things start getting bad you can fill them and place them in your trunk

22. Salomon Quest boots -- $230: https://www.rei.com/product/127770/salomon-quest-4d-3-gtx-hiking-boots-mens

- Best boots I've ever worn, and if things go to shit you need footwear that can take a beating in the event you're outside

23. Shooting gloves -- $45: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/ironsight-sensor-gloves-266842?cat=136,26,6

- shooting fast gets the gun hot and gloves help a lot

24. Ruger 10/22 (use for plinking, small game) -- $230: https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/ruger-1022-carbine-blackgray-semi-automatic-rifle-22-long-rifle/p/1538005

25. DD5V4 in .308 -- $2,600: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/881820326

- This is an excellent longer range gun; you could snipe or hunt well with this.

- Kestrel ballistics calculator -- $700: https://shop.opticsplanet.com/kestrel-elite-weather-meter-with-applied-ballistics.html

26. AGM NVG-40 Dual Tube Gen3 NVG -- $6,700: https://www.nightvision4less.com/agm-nvg-40-3aw2-dual-tube-nv-goggle-gen-3-auto-gated-white-phosphor-level-2.aspx

- To start with, you don't NEED night vision. You could ignore this entirely and probably not know the difference. But if you want the biggest advantage there is, this is it. There are several different types of night vision devices; suffice it to say that this is one of the best, and while you could spend about double this on NV stuff, your marginal utility diminishes pretty sharply. There are two different vision types: green phosphor (which is the stereotypical dark lime green), and white phosphor; here's a video illustrating the difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zns4sqYTVDg&ab_channel=NITEWALKER

- if you do get NV, that gives you another option: infrared. NV lets you see infrared, meaning that you can use IR lasers and illuminators to see very well in the dark and shoot very well in the dark -- and ofc IR is invisible to the naked eye. This is what US SOF uses to rayp sand niggers in the middle east. If you do get NVG, mount this to your rifle and zero it: L3/EOTech IR laser and illuminator -- $1,400: https://tnvc.com/shop/l3-insight-atpial-c-class1-ir-laser/

TOTAL: ~$30,000 (~$21,000 without night vision).

I again highly recommend getting training with this stuff. This list will give you top quality equipment, such that you will be more than set equipment-wise for anything that comes your way. However, without training from knowledgeable people in how to use them, you're still in a bad position when the nigs come knocking. I recommend the following training companies, in order of preference:

- GBRS Group (the very best on this list -- entirely former DEVGRU SEALs -- but idk if they're taking civilian clients rn)

- Fieldcraft Survival

- Tony Cowden / Capable Inc.

- Haley Strategic

- Ronin Tactics (stupidly kitschy at times, but one of the best tactical instructors I've ever seen)

- Aztec Training Services

- Core Vision Training

- Esoteric / Yousef Sansour

- Frank Proctor Shooting

- Kagwerks

- Viking Tactics / Kyle Lamb

- Vigilance Elite

- Pat McNamara

- Direct Action Resource Center (DARC)

- Shaw Shooting

- Combat Shooting and Tactics (CSAT) / Paul Howe

- Baer Solutions

- Lead Faucet Tactical

- Trident Concepts

- Thunder Ranch

- Gunsite Academy

not a Glock, tho?

Glocks come with a SPS trigger and you should always replace them with a superior aftermarket trigger if you want to enjoy the gun or shoot particularly well with it; even before that (which adds another $140), Glocks run about $600 (now inflated to $700). The Canik has one of the best factory triggers in a handgun, and it's cheap as FUCK.

I recommend the survival gear though -- if you're in the city and can't leave, you could end up ultrafucked. Now then:

1. Any of the following for under $900 -- but prioritize ones with a longer handguard/rail like the first or second link:

7. Forward grip -- $15-30: https://bravocompanyusa.com/vertical-grips-hand-stops/

- Whether to use a vertical foregrip, or an angled grip -- called a "KAG" on that page -- or nothing at all is an issue of personal preference, but in my experience they make it remarkably easier to reduce muzzle rise. Also realize that the short vertical grips are meant to be held like this: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Daniel-Defense-Vertical-Grip-2-1-768x512.jpg -- rather than like a handle.

Close the ziplock and knead the vaseline into the cotton balls until they're thoroughly saturated; add more vaseline as needed. Add a 5 pack of bic lighters and this is set.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41156798)

Own: Mini-14 in 556 (own because I'm in a DEEP BLUE state and it looks less scary - previously owned a Colt AR Carbine), Colt 1911 in 45. Civilian gun ownership in my region is about 0%

Budget: Anything under $30K, but I feel like I'm covered.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41156642)

Biggest bullshit is the fact extended mags are like $50 bucks, so I only have a handful.

My next buy was already going to be a 9mm. Never got around to it.

Would probably buy a cheap 22 too.

EDIT: Thoughts on AR pistols? Not worth risking right now with incoming Biden admin and recent NFA takebacks on braces?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41157006)

Absolutely get the 9 -- do you have any experience with Glock, Sig, CZ, or S&W?

Cheap 22:

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41157056)

Also, see edit above. Would be interested in your thoughts

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41157088)

I'd go for it, but I also probably envision a different level of compliance if they're banned than do you. I think AR pistols make great truck guns (short length makes them more maneuverable getting in and out, as well as more concealable). Someone who already has a quality AR can go cheaper on the pistol; in your case I'd get a nicer one since it's really gonna be your do-it-all gun if you have to pick. Triarc makes phenomenal ones. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, get it in an 11.5" barrel; 5.56 has exponentially better ballistics from 11.5+ than it does from anything any shorter.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41157374)

Thoughts on pistol AR vs. a compliant pinned and welded 14.5 inch barrel? I was about to by an AR pistol a few years back. Glad I didn't. I have no interest in fucking with the NFA. I live in a GUNSRBAD area of a GUNSRBAD state (which for historical reasons doesn't have many gun laws). Not worth it to me. Both state and federal prosecutors would fuck me if I played that game. Is pistol that much better than a 14.5?

Also, any thoughts on Colt ARs these days? That's what I had when I owned an AR. Obviously a lot more players making stuff these days, but instead of researching the exact models I might go with a midrange reliable choice where I already know the rifle.

Also, I'm in theory willing to spend a lot, but in practice probably more likely to spend 5-10k. What would you do in my place with 5K? Assume a tactical AR, a poly 9mm and body armor? That the best spent money?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4656146&forum_id=2#41158019)

I don't like them nearly as much as I like other manufacturers -- paying more for rollmark and less for features. literally name what you're willing to drop on an AR and I'll drop you links lol.

Yes, that's exactly what.

Guns are solid. Gonna rec some attachments to the guns, ignore if you already have.

1. Sling, light and foregrip for the BCM:

- Ferro Slingster -- $55: https://www.skdtac.com/Ferro-Concepts-The-Slingster-Updated-p/fer.113.htm

- Light -- $430: https://www.opticsplanet.com/surefire-scout-light-500-lumens-white-light.html

- Grip options: https://bravocompanyusa.com/vertical-grips-hand-stops/

- Also consider getting a Vortex Razor 1-10 ($2,000-2,300) or an ATACR 1-8 ($2,800) for the BCM.

2. light for the P226 -- $270: https://www.opticsplanet.com/surefire-x300-ultra-led-handgun-long-gun-weaponlight-500-lumens-w-universal-moun.html

3. Bipod for Ruger American -- $45: https://www.amazon.com/UTG-High-pro-Shooters-Bipod-Rubber/dp/B001BR4VME

4. Plate carrier. Here's where you have to figure out part of how you want to set up your plate carrier. It's fairly personalized -- what I like on mine may be very different than you want on yours. At a minimum, I'd do the Kangaroo panel, side pouches and then get a radio pocket, some 5.56 pouches (which strap onto the lasercuts all over the carrier), and maybe a few utility pouches. This gives you the ability to add carrying capacity as needed, but don't do so unnecessarily -- you should try to go as slick as possible. All told, you're looking at around $700 here.

- LBT G3 Plate Carrier -- $355: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3

- Kangaroo panel -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/6904b

- Side pouches -- $70: https://lbtinc.com/collections/g3/products/2739qk

- 5.56 speed draw pouches (only need one or two of these) -- $37: https://lbtinc.com/collections/apchs/products/6146

- Utility pouches: https://lbtinc.com/collections/utlp

5. Hesco 4800 Large 10x12 shooter cut plates x2 -- $2,600: https://sabersolutions.com/collections/hesco-armor/products/hesco-4800-level-iv-standalone?variant=21332281720912

6. A fighting belt is different from a regular belt in that it has molle webbing to attach pouches. It should have a holster, at least one pistol mag pouch, and first aid kit; the rest is personal preference -- I like to run two AR mags on my belt, there are some people who run four, some who run none. More info on setting up a belt here: https://youtu.be/__78Ve2dIUo General upside of a belt is that it puts weight on your hips instead of shoulders (where a plate carrier or chest rig places it). I'm linking the QLS system with the holster below because it's very handy when in vehicles to be able to take the holster off the belt. All told, looking at about $5-600

- Ronin Tactics molle belt -- $200: https://www.ronintactics.com/store/p80/Task_Force_%28TF%29_Belt.html

- Blue force micro trauma kit (basic supplies, molle mount -- don't use to treat things when you have access to the big solatac kit) -- $130: https://www.blueforcegear.com/medical-items.html

- AR mag pouches: https://esstac.com/5-56/

7. Mayflower UW chest rig (it's not uncommon to want a chest rig for times you don't want to lug armor around but also want some sort of fighting capability in the even something unexpected comes up; typically used when moving long distances on foot and trying to stay lightweight) -- $203: https://www.velsyst.com/products/uw-chest-rig-gen-iv

8. ESEE 4 knife -- $115: https://www.bladehq.com/item--ESEE-RAT-Cutlery-RC4--4378

- you can carry this on the plate carrier or on your belt, but you should have it on one of those. I like belt.

9. Peltor Sport Tac 500 electronic hearing protection -- $120: https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Electronic-Protector-Bluetooth-Protection/dp/B06W56YRWJ

11. Solatac Multi-Casualty first aid kit (add ibuprofen and tylenol to this) -- $270: https://solatac.com/home/index.php/product/multi-cas-kit/

12. Five CATourniquets (add 3 to main med kit, keep two on you in pockets/pouches when shit kicks off) -- $150: https://www.narescue.com/combat-application-tourniquet-c-a-t.html

13. Survival kit. This is a combination of things you should throw together; I realize you're probably not a survivalist, but if shit happens and you've got to move, you'll want this stuff. Keep this in the waterproof backpack.

- micro survival kit -- $80: https://fieldcraftsurvival.com/collections/accessories/products/fieldcraft-survival-minimalist-survival-kit

- jetboil -- $120: https://jetboil.johnsonoutdoors.com/stoves-systems/flash-cooking-system?id=566
