Sabbel Empty Pockets Joined: Oct 17, 2015 Messages: 14 Likes Received: 22 Hi Everyone After my pockets had the tendency to become more and more full, I have decided to cut down on what I carried around with me. Things tarted to be a little…. scary when I was looking down at my cargo pockets. I now have things trimmed down quite a bit, but there is one thing where I really cant make up my mind and thats my flashlight setup. This is for my tier one gear on my person, everything else is already set. I currently have available (for this purpose) three Olights (M1T, I5T and I3T) and two Surefires ( Backup MV and G2Z MV). Everything else has already either been assigned a different role, or has been selected out for various reasons. I want to cut this down to two lights on my person, but I cant really decide which ones they are going to be. This is purely for civillian carry. During my dayjob as a pilot and my volunteerwork with the german federal agency for technical relief (frack, thats one hell of a name in english) I am set up and this kind of carry is either impractical (pilot because of the darn uniform) or simply not right (volunteertime, with lots of equipment available anyways and pocket carry not feasible for safety reasons). So, which two should I carry. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter (if possible including your reason for saying so). Thank you all in advance.
