HILL PEOPLE GEAR - MULTICAM HEAVY RECON

HPG Heavy Recon, mated to a SOE heavy harness, mated to a Direct Action Tactical Mosquito Belt. Back straps pulled off a Kifaru E&E for the rear attachment point (belt to H harness) and the HPG Gear HR pack attachment straps and two Grimlocs for the front belt to HPG HR kit bag attachment.

 

Well, it's official. You've out-tacticaled me.

 

Also, I both want and need a set up like that.

Absolutely bad ass. What are you using for the bear spray holster? I need something more solid than the elastic stock holster my Counter Assault came with.

 

would you believe there are 6 knives in that set up? Cleaver and SK5 Blackbird in the back hydration pouch, Esee 6 on the belt, Esee Izula2 on the harness strap, Grohmann #3, Fiddleback Forge and a Leatherman in the HPG kit bag.

oh thats actually 7...

 

HSGI SOFT TACO. Can be used for anything cylinder shaped, like magnum can bear spray, beer bottle, beer can, wasp spray etc.

not a rig that is easy nor quick to put on or take off.....But once its on.......very comfortable. Take out 6 of the 7 knives and the weight drops by 5 lbs.

do your research on vests and load bearing setups.....you may prefer a pack........(< faster to put on / take off)

 

Nice, I'll be looking to pick one of those up in the near future.

 

Quite the set up you have there Bushman,I use my reg recon chest bag often,but that Heavy does look tempting.Great review.

 

Thats awesome. Is the small bag on the back of the belt SOE?

 

^ ah , which one? on the battle belt behind the small of my back or the one on the rear shoulder harness ?

 

Small of your back on the belt

 

High Speed Gear Industries (HSGI) SAW/CANTEEN pouch. It holds a complete GSW/SLASH & general FAK.

Do you guys all work in the same mall?

 

It might look mall ninjy, but it's actually a really practical set up for the dense, humid rainforest we call home. It's easier to crawl under dead fall with no pack on your back to get snagged. I was thinking about making a similar set up to @Bushman5 above, before I ended up buying an HPG Umlindi.

Or do you mean about the kit bags?

I know you're just making fun, but there are legit reasons for their use. Besides, I don't even have a mall in my town

 

What's a mall? You talking about the tool used to split wood? That's spelled "Maul", I can't imagine you wouldn't have a bunch of those in a Canadian town
