Backpacks...WTF?

[baboon]

A real photographers vest is perfect for all the stuff photographers use. I have two so I acknowledge the utility of cargo vests of all sorts.

That said, I no longer use them for anything for two reasons.

First, they look silly unless you're actually engaged in photography and even then only journalists and hikers who use view cameras get an unconditional pass.

Second, mine are far too big for me. They'd probably slip off my shoulders and fall right down to my ankles. I bought them over 200 pounds ago and now that I'm back down to what I weighed when I was 20 years old, they just swallow me up.

Invest in a molle assault vest

Just to make you, gents, feel better:

LoL, a Kel Tec...

And a 6.5CM.

Sorry, I draw the line at 6.5 Need More.

Come out of the closet. This is a safe space.

Good problem to have. Proud for you. Lots of work and discipline to do that.

Thanks for the kind words...but I was overweight at 20, too. . I acknowledge that I've come a long way but that gives me confidence that I can reach my final goals.

Support like yours means the world to me.

Personally I think that carrying spare mags in a back pack, or any other junk depository is retarded.
"Oh wait a second Mr. bad guy, I have to find my spare magazine".

Those poor kids.

Does this mean you hate the Alamo?

Ha! It’s sufficient!
Seriously, it’s the most packable PCC.

You may be very surprised by how quickly I can retrieve a spare from my Vertx Transit 2.0 which was brilliantly designed specifically for EDC.
Some say, off-body carry is no-go, because someone could grab your bag. Same can be applied to belt holsters and pouches. I’m speaking from my 10+ years of Russian Military and LE experience, incl. four BOTG deployments to Chechnya in the late 90’s.

Officer Patrick Maher was shot and killed after breaking up a fight between two brothers and one of the brother's ex-girlfriends at South 272nd Street and Pacific Highway South in Kent.

I have met this officer once or twice. He was a great man.

I think there's a famous saying about "assuming"

Sorry I didn't run my itinerary by you for approval. I will make sure to do that next time.

I usually have one spare mag in a pocket and the others in the backpack. I don't want to carry 3+ mags on me.

I did get a backpack for Christmas. It came with the jacket my wife got me. Came from bullerproofeveryone. It is level III jacket and backpack. So I guess if I am going to carry a backpack it will be my new bulletproof, slash proof, stab proof one.

 

[surevaliance]

Nice suit! Where did you get it?

 

[TheDan]

The only proper use of a backpack.

I've seen photographers vests worn covered with NRA, Glock, Colt and other patches.
While useful, we called them 'shoot me first vests".

Good Will, in Moscow...
