Been putting together a home/street defense kit around an FLC and a battle belt. For most of my shooting experience it was just a fun hobby but with how things are playing out better to be equipped and not need it than need it and not have it sort of deal.
Simple stuff, decided on coyote, planning on getting an ACH and some plates to go under FLC. I chose a FLC because I can unzip and drop everything in one go if needed, no Velcro necessary. And I can strip the belt out and use just that if I wanted as well. Multi-use.
Running a mix of condor and surplus stuff, on a 12 gauge, pistol, and .308 rifle you may have seen in previous posts. Going to add more mag pouches but the caliber is limiting so I can probably get 2-4 mags more on the body aside from bandoliers
Any recommendations?
There’s probably a lot of those “Ukraine over run” plates still floating around.
Crazy cheap, but not up to new drop rating.
Honestly tho, plates are more a visual deterrent than anything. Out of anything you’d bring with you, the most likely thing you’d have to use is a tourniquet. Best practice is one on your chest and one on your back. That way if it’s you that needs it, bystanders have one available regardless of which way you fell.
Absolutely ditch the knife. And whatever you’re using the grenade pouch for
