SHTF patrol gear: British military surplus PLCE

When we think about carrying our gear for whatever reasons and purpose we have to think carefully. One way to carry gear in a patrol situation is the British military P.L.C.E. a great piece of gear.

New sub. Say eh to da up eh?! I like the 165 truncated 40 cal bullet too.. perfect defense and woods gun for our great state! Keep the vids coming. We need some new material!!

I use PLCE in the Alaska winter and its fine. Never had anything plastic fail..

I have to agree as a kid seeing some war movies with the UK soldiers in it with this piece of gear on always looked cool

That fold down velcro flap in the mag pouch is to cover the velcro if you want the pouch to open silently, but you lose the ability to quickly close the flap and expect it to be somewhat secure without reinserting the tab.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know the other way to fasten the British PLCE pouches more secure? It´s just using both ends of the closure through the U shape buckle thing (yes, it´s somewhat difficult to explain, but very easy to do when you know it)

Interesting, did not know that one thank you

[@travismorris9404]

I'm liking the info bro

[@jake-fn1eo]

360 rounds straight on that thing dang dude

[@loneoaksurvival]

I think its an amazing advantage

Nice kit been stalking some myself

[@loneoaksurvival]

I think it's worth the money especially for a defensive scenario in a SHTF situation where you might be only a few hundred or so yards from your main place.

[@ShepherdCater-be6lw]

Nice setup, how do you think camping with something like this would go?

[@loneoaksurvival]

I think for a small kit it would do just fine more than enough room to carry essentials and some extras

[@declineofthewest.]

Excellent info. I just bought a plce setup off of eBay. All of my pouches (8 total) are sewn into the hip pad.
I wasn’t expecting that, but I don’t mind it.
The belt is sewn into the hip pad as well. Mines a metal glider style of buckle.
The only issue I have is that the two “A” rings closest to my kidneys dig into my back when fully loaded. If I adjust it- the weight distribution is off.
Have you had any issues with the A rings digging into your back?

[@loneoaksurvival]

I don't actually the connection points seem to sit away from my body when I'm wearing it.

The sewn in versions are custom made pieces, companies like Dragon Supplies and Jayjays here in the UK made for nigh on 30 years
