One sock?
One sock?
Are you wearing the one sock like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Gospel.Take out a lot of that ammo. That should be on your second line gear.
Add some fast portable food, like Cliff bars, meal replacement bars, MRE peanut butter, beef jerky etc.
Add shelter: nysil tarp, 550 cord, contractor bag and space blanket.
You need more than matches to make a fire. Add dry tinder and a bic lighter.
Ditch the screwdrivers and add a multitool
Replace one of the folding knives with a short fixed blade. I would simply keep a folder on me, a fixed blade in the BOB, along with a multitool.
Add a pair of light wool socks in a ziplock bag
Add some way to treat water for drinking.
Anyone know the typical round count is for special operations/light infantry guys is? That round count seems very high and is a lot of weight.....
Go on a long hike with your pack and that much ammo and then go on one with considerably less ammo......
In my Backpack
-Bandages, Gaz, Tape, tourniquets, tweezers, moleskin , assorted pressure pads and cloths, steri strips, soudafed and pain relievers, wilderness first aid manuel, boyscout handbook.
Suggestions on what I could add or remove? The backpack is a maxpedition condor II and the Active shooter bag is a US Peacekeeper Rapid Deployment Pack

Well anyone who would post that info on the Internet is a douche bag and jeopardizes the lives of our soldiers and opsec. So I'm sure someone here will be along shortly to post it anyways. (Rolls eyes)
But I wouldn't recommend a civilian arry a combat loadout.
If you are on your own or with your family your priority is to be fast not to stay and fight. If you go through a couple 30 round mags without an egress your in big trouble. I say 6 30 round mags and 2 mags for pistol.
A military issue poncho takes up little space and weight and has many uses..
I see several people saying they have an ar-15 armorers tool. I think that's highly unnecessary. Have one at your Bol or in a cache. That's a lot of unnecessary weight when you wanna be fast.
