Reddit mentions: The best military accessories for men

You most likely won't catch her feeding.

We just had a litter of 6 about 2 months ago, and I only caught her feeding twice.

They feed late at night/early in the morning usually.

The absolutely best way to help the babies is keep mom healthy and happy. She knows what's best for the buns.

Keeping the box clean is important, but it doesn't have to be done daily. During the time our 6 were in the box, we cleaned it out a few times and made a new litter box for them once.

Make sure the doe has all the hay she can eat. Alfalfa is good to give her right now. And PLENTY of water. We had to start refilling our large bottle twice a day.

Something that will help the buns socially is for you to talk to them from the get go. Let them know humans are normal parts of the environment and that we're not something to be feared.

Some people like to pick them up and handle them from birth. We waited about a week before we started to take them out of their nest to have human time.

A fleece hat makes a great baby bun carrier and it keeps them warm. We'd let the little guys sleep on our chests for 15-30 minutes at a time. We tried not to go longer than that because we didn't want to upset their mom.

If you have any questions, just ask. I'm not an expert, but I've spent hours and hours and hours reading up on rabbits and reproduction so we could give our guys the best chance possible.

Btw, 6 born, 0 deaths, 3 boys, 3 girls, all happy and healthy. :)

Welcome, and good luck!

Since you're an AK user, if you ever find that crossdraw-style vest getting too hot or bulky for you, I'll point you towards the Chinese Type 81 chest rig - 4 AK magazine pouches plus 2 grenade pouches for misc. storage, all in a quiet, lightweight little bundle! You'll have to find another solution for your pistol, but I'd recommend getting a good hardshell holster for that anyways.

General rules of thumb:

1. No rifle is complete without a good sling
   
   
2. No pistol is complete without a good holster
   
   
3. Be fast and aggressive - you're not actually going to die if you get hit
   
   
4. Be honorable and have good sportsmanship even if someone else doesn't - everyone has a lot more fun if they're hearing "Great shot!" from across the field instead of "Call your hits!"

Welp, first things first. Happy Birthday!

I would very much like the Quick Release Belt, (this thing), on my Paintball List.

As for why, I'd like it because I kinda need it. We're playing paintball in a few weeks, and I need that to help me hold more paintballs on the field. Less paintballs means an unhappy me...

Anyway, did I mention happy birthday? No? Oh...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yeah, I was thinking about the mattress covering sheets, but as far as the actual sheet that goes between you and the comforter (which is an American thing apparently) you could always use shirt stays passed under the mattress if the tuck doesn’t work for you.

Also, I encourage all people wearing tucked in shirts without a jacket use these. Wrap them around your legs in the direction you want them to pull and attach the bottom clip to your sock. Be patient until you figure it out and get used to them. They make you look soooo much better in dress attire.

No.

Thank you for sharing the picture of love. I wish the best in your journey with her!

but side tip - get some shirt holders https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Shirt-Stays-Locking-Clamps/dp/B00AERKG94

Good luck man

I'd recommend a Bushnell TRS25. Yeah it's a bit more expensive but it's miles ahead of any 'airsoft red dot'

You only need eye protection. I'd recommend face protection as well. You don't need a vest unless you need to carry stuff.

Edit: Looks like the X9 comes with a mid cap, not a hi-cap. You'll probably want a couple extra mags and something to carry them. Could get something like a Condor belt and SMG pouches

I've seen some people mod their helmets and such, that took me too long in order to set it up. However, the best thing for me was a beanie, I like the puff ball ones with the designs and it is saggy enough to protect the head. Here is the facewrap that I wear. It is nice and comfy, and if you dip it in ice water, keeps you cool. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U

My normal EDC (not including cell phone, car keys and CCW as they all cost more than feasible for this situation) is a multitool/knife, flashlight, wallet, watch, pen and bandanna.

Multitool: Leatherman Squirt PS4, $28.75 Not the biggest or baddest MT out there, but it will do pretty much every EDC task I can think of needing to do.

Flashlight: [ThruNite Ti5, $15.95](
https://www.amazon.com/ThruNite-Compact-Penlight-Output-Firefly/dp/B014SGM234/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1478977407&sr=8-12&keywords=thrunite) Hard choice between this and the Streamlight Microstream.

Wallet: Big Skinny Metro, $19.99 Carried Big Skinny wallets for years. Only recently switched to Recycled Firefighter, just for a change in pace.

Watch: Casio Calculator, $14.99 The ultimate nerd watch.

Pen: Zebra F-701, $4.63 Best damn pen I've ever used.

Bandanna: Rothco Solid Black Bandanna, $5.87 Any cotton bandanna will do, I just picked this one because it was solid black.

The grand total is: $90.18. The remaining $9.82 will buy me a six pack of mid tier craft beer.

There was a thread on r/Weightroom, topic of the day was fashion.

Someone said that Shirt Stays/Shirt Garters are good for dealing with this, though there certainly are downsides. There are some that clip to your sock, some that tie around your thigh, and one that loops under your feet which I hear is the best of those 3 choices. Other option are Magnet Tucks which are more inconspicuous and won't chafe your leg hair.

That, combined with tailoring your shirts should solve the issue.

Cotton as in a boonie hat?

A boonie hat will soak up water/sweat to help cool you off, and a straw hat will allow more airflow to help cool you off.

By far the best purchase I’ve made https://www.amazon.com/Condor-Tactical-Fleece-Watch-Black/dp/B00F9IGIKO

I love those damn things. I can be inside a warm car and still have it on and not get overly hot, while I can be outside during my whole shift and feel warm.

Congratulations! Are you going to put up a link to your etsy store so we can see your work?

Thank you for the contest!

Bought these and they work wonderfully

More comfortable than I expected

Option B: just adjust the grip strength of the shirt stay clasp.

It takes about 5 seconds to complete. Inspect the metal clasp that attaches to your shirt or your sock. You should see that one of the pieces is bent into a kind of L shape. To increase the grip strength, bend that inside piece so that it's more perpendicular.

This can be done by opening the clasp, inserting a thin piece of hard material (like a small metal nail file) through the back of the clasp, and then closing the clasp slightly. Small changes can have very large effects; don't overdo it.

Note that I'm talking specifically about this style of shirt stay. They only cost about $10 and they last for years with everyday use. You just need to tighten them from time to time as the elastic gradually stretches.

This type of hat is awesome. Nice wide brim and mosquito netting. When you don't need the mosquito netting, just tuck it up into the hat.

No endorsement specifically of any of these. Nametapes are pretty generic and fairly easily found.
You might also be surprised if you check local surplus stores and / or embroidery shops.

Surprised nobody's mentioned shirt stays. They might be annoying to put on if you need to wear dress shirts every day but the fact that they keep your shirt tucked in at all times means the amount of 'bagginess' you experience will almost always be nonexistent when you wear these. These are the ones I got years ago and they still work like a charm. I say try these before you go even go to a tailor

Epic Militaria Replica WW2 German M43 Field Grey Wool Tunic (38 inch) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M9Z79RK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mpVSDbGMKHHTP

I think the M43 is as close to it as you'll get. Her uniform isnt necessarily 100% accurate. None of them are. But this is a really close shirt. Hope I was helpful.

Had this satchel for a while, super durable perfect size for biking or airplanes. I can even fit my MacBook Pro in it no worries.

Also if you ever wear tucked in button-down shirts, get a pair of shirt garters. Theyre super cheap but might feel a little odd for the first wear or two but they make a huge difference on how you look. Would always recommend.

It's not an easy find. I've been through more than I care to admit. I think the best pair I've ever had were from a small independent men's store. Check those in your area. I've also found okay ones at Army/Navy stores (they had them behind the counter). I've got these off Amazon, and they're shit. The foot loop ones always slide off my foot, so I don't use those. These are the type that I always use.

Rothco makes a good milspec boonie hat. It's hard to beat at $10 on Amazon. Lightweight, tough BDU fabric. Comes with chin strap, brim loops, and metal screen vents for the top. Can't go wrong at this price, I suggest giving one a try.

I use a [Condor multi-wrap.] (https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U?th=1&psc=1) It works quite well and can keep me cool on hot days and warm on cold ones.

I got one of these green hats then picked up some craft foam, yarn, and faux fur from a craft store near me. Hot glue gun to stick it all together. It's been through a few music festivals and is still in great shape!

This awesome Russian pin. I want it to go on my airsoft vest or ushanka.

I use a rubber belt style shirt stay. Other comments are correct that shirts probably fitting you properly, but for $15 these can help a lot. I go all day looking exactly how I got dressed.

Well to be fair the suit pictures were taken right after putting everything on. Kinda rushed to get some of them as you can see untied shoes in the tailored fit pictures.

For all day well tucked shirt my go to are these bad boys- http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Shirt-Stays-Locking-Clamps/dp/B00AERKG94

Ooh should add that I do get my shirts taken in to slim them down and have darts put in the back. This album shows that kinda. Especially the gap part-http://m.imgur.com/a/heKEB

Midcaps or highcaps? Define "a few". You could tape them together, or get mag clamps. It's a pain if you run more than two and need to ditch the clamped ones, however.

Something like a Chicom chest-rig sounds about perfect for your needs.

They definitely help. I remember they use to sell a silicon belt that you put over your shirt, but under your belt line, that keeps the shirt in.

These work very well also.

This is what you want, its an elastic belt that goes between your shirt and your pants, and has a velcro like feel on both sides and basically velcros your shirt to your pants. I use it cause I dont like long socks required for most shirt stays and if I wear it I dont have to retuck everytime I sit down.

Haha no I was in the military and I had to wear them. I prefer the kind that hook to the socks.

EDIT: these ones.

I wear this and it works pretty well.

Doubt the little metal piece will set off the detector but I'm not 100% sure.

It wasn't a ski mask. Just a little cloth mask to hide my face.

Or you could just get bed sheet straps....same shit



Edit: Jesus H Christ, Marine. do you not know how to use google or know about Amazon? Found this after doing a simple search.

I use shirt garters. I hated them when I did honor guard in the military but when I started dressing up for work I realized I hated tucking in my shirt more. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AERKG94/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1427503954&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=shirt+garters+for+men
