In this episode i will be sharing my modified Crye Precision Nightcap. All of these modifications were easy to complete and did not require any specialized equipment (but a sewing machine helps). These modifications make a big difference (for me) in the realm of comfort and usability. As i state in the video, the upgrade of the chin strap something everyone should do to increase comfort. Here i...

zhlédnutí 196Před 10 měsíci

You could easily make this with shock cord as well (instead of 550). Having something like this is also good in an emergency (your fancy high priced lanyard breaks). Surviving isn't about what you can buy, it is...
