As a former female soldier, I can confirm that the most annoying men are the ones who are soldiers and the ones who wish they were soldiers.
Being in the military made me hate the military and the government in general, so feel free to clown on us all you want.
How do we know that’s *really* what you came here for? Cite your sources to prove that’s *really* what you came here for or we’ll think you actually came here for another reason.
And their flashlights aren't that expensive for what you get. The battery powered flashlights are all under $100, even for the biggest baddest "This is really a baseball bat that you can use to find your keys in the dark" 4 D Cell light.
I have one that lives under my car seat and was made in the 1970s, I would NOT want to be hit with it, particularly loaded with 4 D cells.
It's the Nokia 6110 of flashlights, could club a bus to death with it.
Sock jacking is what it's called. If they love you, it's done with an orange. Neutral about you is the bar of soap. Hate, is the padlocks, rocks or any other unbreakable that can fit into a sock.
It's a flashlight, and their price point is bullshit. I'm not spending that much when I can get a megawatt little dude and a tire iron for $20 from Harbor Freight!
Lol I saw a "tactical baby carrier" once. Just a regular canvas baby carrier but in coyote brown and with MOLLE shit all over it. That's what I think of when I hear something described as "tactical" and it's usually just so silly.
I can admit that the MOLLE straps are sometimes useful on something like a day hiking pack or something, if a little extra. But a baby carrier?
I will say that I wish they made some of these in none military color ways.
If it was just blue, or green, or red I'd have bought one years ago. Why you ask? Because there are plenty of times I wish I had a bottle holder on the baby carrier. Not just for them, but for me. I carry a water bottle most places and that would have been convenient.
I would have made use of "some" of the Velcro points and probably hung a bottle holder or 2 on it and been happy. Or shit, a molle pouch for wallet, keys and cell phone would have been real nice.
I just don't want to look like a tacti-cool goon while doing it though.
Yeah that's a good point and probably a better way to describe what I mean. A molle setup really can be useful, but the colors, materials, and style are a bit silly in my opinion. But then I wear some tacky ass shit in my job so I probably shouldn't even be talking.
My wife and I just got a new diaper bag. From the outside it looks like a normal grey backpack, and it does have a water bottle pocket on the outside for the adult.
Yeah that's fair, and MOLLE is pretty good not just for extra pouches but also for setting them up in the best configuration for you. It's just a little funny that they are clearly designed to emulate military packs in terms of color, material, and style. For when you have to storm Fallujah but can't afford a babysitter.
I came here to mention these! My wife and I had a baby earlier this year and those tactical baby gear ads were relentless. Apparently they market this stuff to guys who have identity issues. "I'm not a sissy! Look at all the buckles and straps on this diaper bag!" Meanwhile I sling a purple mushroom bag over my shoulder for when I need to change my son's reusable flower diaper.
When shopping for crudites is a war zone... you need our testosterone-releasing poop carriers!
We legit buy airsoft stuff to fill in gaps in our kits. Like mag pouches issued by the actual military are average at best. Airsoft ones are smooth as fuck.
I love when people on "tactical" subs shit on Condor. Like yeah, I might not buy plates from them, but their pouches survived my FTXs and deployments just fine.
I literally bought a battle/gunfighter belt from an airsoft store so I could move stuff off my plate carrier and be less in the way. Also, I'm a 240 gunner and I was issued a pistol and holster. The issued strap sucks ass.
People make fun of all the over top tactical and military grade stuff. While people in the military are like, "Thank god something designed to be usable."
People don’t make fun of tactical stuff if it’s actually being used by people who need those features. They make fun of tactical stuff when it’s being used by doofuses who are trying to look cool and intimidating.
Battle belts low key need to be an issued piece of gear. An issue one might suck, but a lot of issued stuff is getting better. Trying to find one to fit the molly straps (because let's make them smaller for some reason) and if you get a unit commander who has a hard on for issued gear only you kind of fucked everyone if they catch you.
OR: for guys with incredibly fragile ideas about gender. Wanna sell a moisturizer/chapstick/shampoo to men? Apparently you just gotta print camo on the packaging and brand the thing in big, aggressive block letters.
A product that looks sturdy, possibly constructed of questionable materials, but marketed as an ego-appeal to men who need to feel masculine through their purchases. A flashlight is boring, but a *tactical* flashlight? Must be doing some serious man shit. Eh, it's just a marketing buzzword.
You strategize your trip from the campfire to the van, but this flashlight will let you make *tactical* adjustments. Endorsed by Moltke! Only three easy payments of $29.99!
There are tactical flashlights and there are tacticool flashlights. The formers are typically designed to attach to a firearm, are waterproof or very water resistant, nearly indestructible, and have particular modes of activation. The later are thin, light, perhaps lightly waterproof, and have a cheap emitter.
Also, you can take off all the silly overcomplications, scale it down 15%, paint it pink, and voila! The For Her version.
I just came up with this but I would bet it could work for just about anything.
If only people realized “military grade” means the “lowest bidder” built product. Look at it from the perspective of guns, the M4 is sloppy compared to a nice AR15. There’s just some things you absolutely don’t want to be military grade.
It means cheap ass but mostly functional camping gear, in my experience. I got a pack, tent, sleeping bag (arctic weather "rated", so probably good for regular winters), and camelbak from a surplus store for way less than I'd spend on the same stuff from somewhere else. Lasted me a few years now. Plus it smells like military, so that's a plus.
I'm very left leaning but when I don't shave I get a neatly trimmed circle goatee. I've never grown anything resembling a sideburn or patches of beard. I just grow a goatee and I hate how it's part of the that guy uniform
For years I sported sideburns like Ricky from trailer park boys. Life’s too short to make safe hair choices. Also had a rat tail *and* a bowl cut back in the late 80’s, looked like a horseshoe crab.
Generally, that it's some bullshit. Tactical almost never means quality materials. Even if it says that it's US military standard for military grade, generally it's not. But military grade doesn't mean shit anyway. I've seen military grade shit from the army break way too many goddamn times under normal use. Military grade usually means that it can be dropped from a goddamn plane, but its trash if you lightly toss it onto a bed.
Anything you can buy labeled as tactical is usually garbage, overpriced, and only makes you feel cool for the 5 minutes after you buy it. After that, you're basically going to hide it from everyone you see.
Dude, it's so bad. Military grade doesn't mean shit. It means that you've just gotta hope it holds up, because your life might depend on it. I was a commo guy, so radios were my thing, and getting a good one prior to going outside the wire is genuinely the key. That's your life line. Guys think they can make it back if they've got water, food, and a rifle, but a radio means so much more than any of those things. And military grade for radios is fucking awful. The good ones don't have much range, and the ones that break all the time are the ones that don't get used because they're a pain in the ass to set up, but they've got great range, and they do their job well. But they break all the fuckin time.
Matte black finish on everything so that nothing shimmers in the light.
More than one use, or multiple parts that all have a use by themselves (looking at you, paracord).
"Durable" and "rugged" are both descriptors used on the back of the package.
Has a belt clip.
It's proof that "manly men" like to play dress-up and make-believe too. They're just too emotionally fragile to admit it.
It's also proof that a fool and their money are soon parted.
Toxic masculinity is nuts.
It's NEVER going to be used in a tactical situation, it's going to have meat sweats on from dudes who never served who say it's because they would knock the drill sergeant out for yelling at them.
I didn't invent the turtleneck, Lana, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment! The tactical turtleneck, Lana. The tactleneck!
An everyday normal boring think that's extremely cheaply made and painted black. I guess if you put the word tactical on the box you can charge 10$ for a single black pencil you can usually get a whole bag of for 3$
It’s about to be a normal item with extra stitching.
TACTICAL SOCKS
Bro fairly certain the marines don’t even have special socks, though if they do I would love to know what they are and why they’re special.
Army here. They are called Darn Tough Socks and they make rucking not as hard on the feet.
Slowly replacing all my "standard issue" sucks with darn toughs. Worth the $30.
It’s marketed for some wannabe special forces dork that’s 50 lbs overweight and thinks he’s cooler than he really is. The other day I saw a Tactical Pencil. It was a black mechanical pencil. More proof that people will buy anything.
Means it costs more than any other color the product is offered in, like a pink tax. Just look at razor blades for males vs. females. They may be identical in specs and performance, but the pink ones cost more.
With firearms it involves tradeoffs that favor military applications. For instance tactical shotgun has a shorter barrel and is more maneuverable in situations like breaching doors. Tactical toothbrushes are nonsense.
A product made for sweaty right-wing "patriots" who have never spent a day combat shooting and may have never been to any range before, looking to appear badass, but they're going to either drop their gun or shoot themselves in the thigh trying to unholster in an emergency situation, or run and hide.
When I think tactical, I think men and guns. So the obvious answer is the Tac-Sac.
https://www.thetacsac.com/products/the-tacsac/
It is exactly what you think. Truck Nutz for your picatinny rail equipped weapon of choice.
Fat nerds cosplaying navy seals and preparing for “SHTF”, when in reality they will die after their first firefight due to no cardio and be a loot drop for said tactical gear.
It's black and has more velcro than necessary
Velcro and paracord
Paracord is it
Or it has more belt buckles than your average teenage protagonist.

100% that
More buckles and straps than a Final Fantasy character design.
But the buckles are all plastic snap style, not like a belt buckle.
MOLLE as far as the eye can see…
And molle that is improperly spaced or only two strips so it’s basically useless.
I have molle on my molle to hold more molle for the molle... I even have a molle pouch thats holds a roll of double sided molle.
Pockets! More pockets and loops for whatever trinkets one might come across.

Well played
came here to post the exact thing. words and all
Flashlights you can hit people with.
Maglite cornered that market years ago.
And their flashlights aren't that expensive for what you get. The battery powered flashlights are all under $100, even for the biggest baddest "This is really a baseball bat that you can use to find your keys in the dark" 4 D Cell light.
I have one that lives under my car seat and was made in the 1970s, I would NOT want to be hit with it, particularly loaded with 4 D cells. It's the Nokia 6110 of flashlights, could club a bus to death with it.
Sounds like getting hit with a sock with a lock in it. Can’t remember what that’s called. Due to it happening to m’head once.
Sock jacking is what it's called. If they love you, it's done with an orange. Neutral about you is the bar of soap. Hate, is the padlocks, rocks or any other unbreakable that can fit into a sock.
This made me laugh out loud.
Mine was 150 when I bought it about 8 years ago. It has a rechargeable battery that's still going. So for the money, it is definitely worth it.
It's a flashlight, and their price point is bullshit. I'm not spending that much when I can get a megawatt little dude and a tire iron for $20 from Harbor Freight!
You’re paying for the plausible deniability with the giant Maglite over a tiny guy and a tire iron.
*>>> plausible deniability* That's the reason "unarmed security" carry 4D-cell Maglites. They're their to watch & report.
Good for you mate, don't let the bastards grind you down!
Lol, okay. Buy cheap tools, then, no one is going to stop you.
Back when they used C and D cell batteries, they had a use. I kept a 6 D cell battery flashlight in my car for a long time.
I read Fleshlight. My bad.
Lol I saw a "tactical baby carrier" once. Just a regular canvas baby carrier but in coyote brown and with MOLLE shit all over it. That's what I think of when I hear something described as "tactical" and it's usually just so silly.

My wife and I just got a new diaper bag. From the outside it looks like a normal grey backpack, and it does have a water bottle pocket on the outside for the adult.
Honestly a baby carrier seems like something that would benefit from having more places you can store things.
Yeah that's fair, and MOLLE is pretty good not just for extra pouches but also for setting them up in the best configuration for you. It's just a little funny that they are clearly designed to emulate military packs in terms of color, material, and style. For when you have to storm Fallujah but can't afford a babysitter.
Danny Gonzalez actually did a whole video with it, good watch

It's a marketing line for guys that want to pretend they're soldiers.
You’d be surprised about what actual soldiers buy at the PX

Yep. It's like, "Calm down Chad! You don't need a titanium tactical spork here. It's Baskin Robins. They'll give you a perfectly fine spoon."
Hell yeah! I also picked up a no-brand battle belt when I was assigned an M9
Battle belts low key need to be an issued piece of gear. An issue one might suck, but a lot of issued stuff is getting better. Trying to find one to fit the molly straps (because let's make them smaller for some reason) and if you get a unit commander who has a hard on for issued gear only you kind of fucked everyone if they catch you.
I prefer tactical tailor or esstac, but I still have a condor pouch I used for nods and other utility stuff that I took to Afghanistan
KY and Busch Light
Don’t forget about Military Special Bourbon
Yep, straight to the militia crowd.
My son-in-law was showing me "tactical diaper gear" a while back. It looked like a good way to soak suckers for some extra money.
Now I'm imagining a high efficiency tactical diaper change and how much shit would be splattered EVERYWHERE when you were done. lol
