Title: How Tacticool Are You?
Post by: ExurbanKevin on September 25, 2014, 09:00:18 PM

Okay, 'fess up. How many pieces of MOLLE gear do you own, and in home many colors?

Me? I have 4 bags with MOLLE straps on them, a messenger bag in black, a slightly larger bag in green, a bug out and a rifle case in tan.

No vests or plate carriers, though, and I don't own a drop-leg holster, either :D

I have a few flannel shirts...

I like a good mole sauce on enchiladas!

I've reached the point in life that I am seriously looking at those velcro shoes advertised on the back of magazines old farts read, does that count as one piece or two?

There's a couple of molle strips on my black (egads....BLACK) AR case..... I have nothing to hang on them though.

I just use Craftsman or other tool bags for go-bags and range bags. They work as good for a fraction of the cost.

When Kevin and I were at Prescott, I specifically bought a plain backpack for the range trips.  It was black, but zero MOLLE.  I don't have any MOLLE accessories so I don't see paying for it.   Plus I wanted to appear LAID BACK COOL, not TACTI.

BUT THEN, this month, I needed another pack for my Get Home Bag project and decided to buy the MidwayUSA MOLLE backpack.  Reasonably priced and I may hang an outboard bag or two on it.   

I do have a lot of Velcro cable ties both at home and at work, though.   Does that count?

I've got a couple of camo tee shirts, and 5 gun cases with MOLLE straps and stiching on them, but that's about it. I'm going to get a nice camo range bag for when I retire in just a couple of months. I'm eyeing a pair of those big, baggy camo cargo pants they sell at Cabela's as well. I'm like Rodney Dangerfield. I like pants with a lot of room in them, and places to put stuff!

If those farts have pieces I think they qualify as number two cuz you've just shat yerself...

I have two pairs of boxer brief camo underwear.  One pair is woodland camo and the other is in that blue pattern worn by the Navy and Air Force.  One must be prepared when trou is dropped for mother nature's call in the woods or the urban environment.

I have a few back packing back packs if that counts for something.

I want to get a Ghille suit. It can double up as a Halloween costume when I play "Cousin It".

2/3 of the population wouldn't get that reference.  It's a good thing this forum has a bunch of OFWG's.
