Okay, so I'm bringing back my "Pick Five" series, since folks seemed to really enjoy the mental exercise and sharing of ideas and thought process.
This one is a Ukraine based scenario. Basically, you have decided to join the fight in Ukraine and have made your way to the Polish border. You have a contract and will be joining other foreign fighters in your own unit. You will be given a rifle and loaded mags in LBE, basic body armor and some uniform pieces. You brought some things but not everything you need. Before you cross the border what are the 5 things in this picture that you would want.? Assume you don't have any of these items for whatever reason. (I know, I know what they say about assuming but play along). You can only choose five so prioritize what you pick and think of redundant or multiple uses for each item you select. For purposes of simplicity, some items have several parts so, the medical supplies in the lower right corner count as one item even though its an Izzy dressing, CAT and combat gauze. Same with the pencil flare launcher and flares, or the stove and fuel. Thats also "one item.
So you have:
MSR Pocket Rocket stove with fuel
GPS unit
Burner phone w/ Ukrainian #
Leatherman tool
USGI compass
Flare launcher and flares
IR rescue strobe
HAM radio
SW radio
Makarov pistol w/ 8 rds
WETSU pocket survival kit (fire, multitool, water treatment, cordage, mini compass, etc
Med kit w/ Izzy CAT and combat gauze
Remember kids, show your work! Thats how the rest of us learn.
