So lets say for the sake of argument
that you’ve got some gear that serves you well day to day but you have
either decided that it needs a more tactical flair. That’s what my
situation was. I have a great Lowe Alpine backpack that I’ve had since
high school. It’s a good pack and is in good shape. The only problem is
that it’s bright blue. That’s hardly a “tactical” color. That’s not to
say that there is anything wrong with a blue backpack but for my
purposes as a firearms instructor and tactical blog writer, it was less
than desirable.
There
are lots of pieces of civilian gear that are well suited for military
or tactical use. For some reason, people seem to have a need to buy
tactical gear with Molle webbing all over it, that they never use.Have
you ever carried a military issue ALICE pack over long distances? They
can be very uncomfortable to carry unless you spend a bunch of money on
upgrades from Tactical Tailor. Civilian packs on the other hand tend to
be heavy on comfort, heavy on cargo space and light on weight. They are
lacking on so called tactical features but as long as you’ve got
somewhere to put your water, you’re good in my book. You will most
likely be wearing some manner of load bearing equipment anyway.
