It seems like there's endless stuff I feel compelled to buy. I saw the $13 Amazon discounted storage crates and I spent an hour looking into MTM caseguard and bought a variety of storage things from them. Stuff I didn't realize I "needed" but now that I know they exist, I need them.
I watched some YouTube videos recently of some influencers reviewing their gear and guns and I learned about a few accessories I didn't know existed and ordered them because I "need" them too. I don't mean like adding unnecessary shit, I mean like lower profile and or higher quality stuff than I currently have on there. Or stuff that's a good idea like add a small piece of pic rail to the bottom of MLOK hand guards near the front so you can zero the gun off a QD bipod. Even if it's a gun you don't run with a bipod.
I've been upgrading my tactical gear lately. Ignored it for 15 years, just used some 2005 to 2010 era stuff. Steel armor plates. I knew I'd need to upgrade eventually. And now I see the improvements over 15 years are huge. The laminate gear material. The 2 pound HDPE armor plates that are positively buoyant. Built in low profile pouch straps that are low profile and laminate, instead of MALICE clips.
Then of course I realize I could get modular setups and have a PC and a chest rig that each use the same placards. Depending on whether I need armor or not. And then I realize I need a few different placards. Different weapon systems, different placards.
Last year I got into comms stuff, radios, PTTs. Year before I got into NODs, IR lights, IR lasers, helmets, etc.
I eventually want to get into thermal.
I feel like if I had infinite money and infinite storage space, I still would never be done.
