Viking, great run-down of your gear. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask about your opinions on some of your stuff.

How has the BH stuff held up for you? Are you using mostly the STRIKE stuff (which seems to be better quality than the normal line of gear)?

On the back of your plate carrier, do you use a purpose-built pouch for your med stuff, or just a pouch that holds it all?

Do you think wider flat straps on your TAS Patroller rig would have been more comfortable, or is padding the only way to go for rigs carrying a real combat load?

Good tip on the 550 for checking bodies!

Is the Camelbak BFM holding up ok?

Is there a decent adapter out yet for hooking an MBITR to a 5590 (besides just stripping the connector wires and wrapping them around the batt terminals)?

Have you checked out the Adventure Medical Kits Pocket Survival Pak yet? It has quite a bit of the things you carry, and comes in a small, lightweight, waterproof package. I really like what they offer.

Which Benchmade are you carrying, and what is your opinion on it?

Do you find that you don't often need the 4x magnification of the ACOG, hence the switch to the EOTech?

Thanks again for all the info.
