    What colors would you be more interested in? (Out of curiosity)

    Mainly so I can easily find my gear if I take it off. If I lay a tactical color down at night then it's gone. We always try to designate a gear area so nothing gets lost but sometimes things get laid down by themselves. The way I've resolved this is putting a red light on my HPG chest rig. If the rig comes off at night then the light goes on. I do the same with my tactical colored packs.

    Have you tried contacting them, just mention RB and I'm sure they'll make it. I'd personally like to see Rescue colors also.

    Looks like the Snubby Original pattern. It's the same size as the normal Snubby, but it's thicker.

    It's the one I'm likely going to be picking up.

    @Jeff Randall have you considered using something like the CountyComm Universal Glow Markers to mark your bags? I personally have not used them but have considered picking up atleast a few of the dot size to tag smaller gear. I think the larger size would probbably work great to tag some of the larger items like the Chest Rig or backpacks.

    My daughter is on Spring Break and wanted to do some hiking. We had planned to snowshoe at Mt. Rainier, but she thought it might be too cold:(
    We went to a place called Little Mashel Falls, where we've hiked before. It's mostly gravel fire roads, so pretty easy walking.
    In the spirit of this thread, I thought it would be good to break out the chest rig, which I really haven't used in a few years. I attached a Tactical Tailor Luna pouch to the front to hold my G43. The rig rode well under my pack straps and allowed easy access should I have need anything. The Tactical Tailor mini-MAV, which forms the base for the rig is 1000d Cordura, so as is, is not very breathable. I had forgotten that I added a piece of baffled fabric to the interior pocket, to create some air pockets to allow better air flow. I only had the G43 in the pouch, so it rode a little front heavy, but held up well and I'm looking forward to finding other uses for the rig and maybe finding a rig with a smaller footprint.

    We've been talking about it here as well. I just created a poll over here to get people's thoughts. @Jeff Randall , I hope you'll chime in.
