I'm just wearing this under the armor. My costume is inspired by the original Gates/Cooper recolour.

But, they will need to be shined. If y'all are at Bragg just go to General Jacksons, and than to any of the boot shiners on yadkin.

Any other post should have them at clothing and sales.

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. :)

This bad boy right here.

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!"

I don't know about tops, but I really, really like my Dickies Scrub pants. They're very comfortable, have held up for nearly a year with no sign of wearing down, clean easily, and can be worn in pretty much any situation. They don't really look too specifically like scrubs, so they're versatile.

As for tables, I have an oakworks table. It came with my tuition and it seems a decent quality. I like it, but haven't really shopped around for tables sense I feel more or less set for the moment.

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.

This doesn't have a hood but also doesn't have a pocket.

I have an old one laying around, haven't tried an r1 but they look the same. Ritmore dye if you don't like the color.

Woah, really appreciate the detailed response! You really do utilize the bomber well in a lot of your fits.

I always see the AI slim MA-1 recommended, but the gold zippers and puffiness put me off. I do love the cut of Zara's bomber, but they don't currently have any in black. Killion offered an awesome bomber, but I missed the pre-order... Uniqlo and Gap both discontinued their black bombers. I really just want one with silver zippers and a matte or wool finish.

So currently I've been refreshing Grailed every day, but I still can't find the perfect one for under $150.

I haven't tried them, but word is the Thursday boots aren't that great. Docs aren't that great either, but I'd go with them because they're not trying to be something they're not. With that budget, my choice would actually be Thorogood Heritage like [these](Thorogood American Heritage 6" Plain Toe Rubber Boot, Walnut, 9.5 D US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HWYW7OY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_S0gsxbS2D6ERX) or maybe look around for some discounted Red Wings in your size.

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.

Wrong bandolier ya dink.

You need a few of these surplus molle 6 magazine bandos for all of your extra packing peanuts.

The bandos with the clips are for when you go on a LRTP (Long Range Tendie Procurement).

Best $6 chest rig ever, just add a strip of paracord through the bottom to secure it and you're good to go.

here you go

Does anyone have experience with the Defender or the Brandit Giant? Over-all thoughts and sizing.

That looks like some nonsensical Chinesium clothing.

I was looking for a rugged field coat-like jacket on Amazon previously. I think you can find better quality for a similar price. Check out these options I found: 1 2 3 4

I love my army surplus microgrid quarter zip, it's amazing (LINK, but you can usually find one for less than $20 on eBay or at a military surplus store). You get all the benefits of a Melanzana without the annoying bit where you actually have to go buy a Melanzana, and it's basically a Patagonia R1 for $100 less. I also prefer the modularity, so hoodless was a huge bonus for me. Other than that, it's super basic. Patagonia Capilene base layer and a puffy outer layer.

Wool is great, but heavy. I usually have a wool beanie and sometimes I'll bring a Pendleton wool shirt for the aesthetic, but I think the quarter zip performs a lot better.

the brotherhood suits are more like a polymer flight suit instead of spandex the difference is that they are completely form fitting

Living in Central FL myself, you'll want to wear a normal shirt. Wicking ones will get caught on branches and torn apart. Close fitting shirts such as underarmor tend to not dissipate the impact quite as much, which may not be a problem for you, but some people prefer to soften the hit somewhat depending upon your field's max FPS.

A normal T-shirt will stay cooler than a BDU, and still allow you to do camo. However, BDUs are still an option as long as you bring a large fan and lots of water. If your field is outdoors, staying in shade also helps much more than you'd think, and BDUs can also be fairly breathable, despite their appearance. I myself wear a woodland camo tee, and an ACU BDU, including pants. If you want the pants to breathe well, order a size above what you would normally wear, and wear a belt.

I actually wear a lot of gear, and in fact wear a pair of sports-pants underneath my pants to prevent chafing. You will get hot, but I actually found it easy to get used to, despite having moved here from northern Illinois.

As for what camo to wear, you need to observe your field, and figure out what camo will be most useful. I used ACU because I usually go to the Combat City by Orlando International Airport, and it blends fairly well in the CQB house, as well as in the greenhouse, forest, and even tall grass better than other camos I'd seen. I'm also one of the few (I guess) on this sub that actually likes ACU, so take that with a grain of salt I guess. Most of the time though, I'd just go with whatever camo you like best if you're not planning on sneaking too much.

I received their MA-1 Flight Jacket in Sage Green as a gift last year and love it. I'm 6'0" and 165 lbs with a long torso. Mine is a size medium and the arms fit me well but the torso is a bit short.

At the time Alpha Industries didn't sell a slim fit version, but they do now so I'm picking up both a medium and a large through Amazon using the code HOLLYJOLLY mentioned in another comment and I'll return whichever one doesn't fit and sell my old normal one on Craigslist or something.

Green is showing up as 118 for me :-/

I am torn between two bomber jackets that I've narrowed down. The Alpha Industries Men's MA-1 Slim Fit Flight Bomber Jacket and the Levi's Men's Ma-1 Flight Jacket. Both look awesome from the pictures and ratings but I would love to know if anyone here has had any experience with either of them. I'm partial to slim fits rather than the poofy jackets they traditionally come it.

Any input would be welcome. Thanks everybody.

Both are brand new, never worn. Can provide pics of mine if requested.

After looking at the wiki, the style of boots that stood out for me was this design or this one.

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.

How do these grab you? http://www.amazon.com/Corcoran-Mens-Jump-Boot-Black/dp/B0007WTTUS

Not the best boot ever, but resolable and look great with some polish

Shoes: I wear my Doc Martens. I have 3 pairs that I rotate through so they have time to breathe and reduce foot funk. Each pair has gel inserts (Dr Scholl's I think?).

Scrubs: I swear by my dickies for bottoms and tops. I've tried various brands, these are the ones I like best.

Stethoscope: I haven't needed more than the disposable ones on the unit in 5 years of behavioral health. Been in the ER for 6 months, think I've needed a good stethoscope 3 times (2 asthmatics, 3rd time for bowel sounds on an obstruction).

Edit: clarified statement to reflect needing more than disposable stethoscope
