Recommendations for non-issue MOLLE and other gear?

[Crimson_Phoenix]

Getting back into things, I've noticed a lot of the US based gear manufacturers have disappeared over the last decade. Places like Antipersonnel.net, Bushcraft Outfitters, Fireforce, etc. Other places just really reduced their catalog offerings including big names like SDS/BAE Land Systems, Blackhawk, Eagle Industries, LBT, and so on. I'm finding my choices have come down to mostly airsoft stuff off Amazon if I can't find it from eBay surplus retailers. 10-20 years ago, it wasn't too hard to find all kinds of stuff being made of the same colors, materials, and compatibility as the issue military gear for oddball items like non-issue magazines, Nalgene carriers, ALICE style buttpacks with MOLLE webbing, utility pouches, ponchos, tarps, etc. Does anybody have any recommended brands for good quality military style pouches and equipment?

Currently looking for a pair of 32 oz nalgene bottle pouches with a top flap, stick magazine pouches if I get a 9mm PCC (either Colt or Ruger, which takes Glock mags), and a 10'x10' shelter tarp in USMC coyote brown or olive drab with grommets or tie outs. Also eventually want to upgrade the shoulder straps on my MOLLE ALICE pack I got from Spec-Ops Brand almost 15 years ago, but BDS Tactical doesn't make them anymore and Tactical Tailor's straps are almost $100 just by themselves. I got the pack for $90 new back in the day.

AliExpress has well made web gear. For dirt cheap. I just bought this chestrig. Very well made for a lightweight chestrig. It says airsoft. But quality made gear.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!

I especially like the nylon type fabric they are using these days. It's almost like billboard material and will never wearout. I avoid cotton. But the nylon stuff - priced lower than airsoft - is very good. Lots of nalgene holders with molle. That you could put any number of mag pouches etc on. Lots of those on Amazon too. But the same items from undoubtedly the same manufacturer are in AliExpress for about a quarter the price.

Coleman's still has a lot of issue stuff. They still sell the USMC tarp. Or Allegheny Surplus on eBay. Helikon Tex sells a great 10x10 or 3mx3m tarp with sewn guyouts all around and across the middle. 1.5lbs. great tarp. You might find a better price in eBay. This is the first one that came up.

This is the most bullet proof tarp I have ever seen.

He also makes the best survival poncho I ever seen as well. Built to go over a pack. And can be used as a legit shelter. He will make both of those to order. In whatever colors you want.

Gramp's is still in business? I thought they went under years ago. They had some GOOD improved GI ponchos and pack covers back in the day. Stuff actually meant to be worn over your ruck without your legs getting soaked. Mostly want something I can make a lean to out of to tie off to the side of my car once I get a roof rail installed. I've seen lots of MOLLE system Nalgene pouches around, but all are the zipper top ones covered in other smaller pouches too small to really do anything with. I just wanted a real basic carrier pouch I can mount to the sides of my ALICE style ruck or on the kidney belt I have mounted to the frame for hiking.

I don't recall the USGI tarp having guyouts. But check Coleman's. They have them. If it's just for your car and camping. I would use a poly tarp. Would probably last longer in rough use. And weight doesn't matter. There is a post in the Bargains section poly tarps for super cheap. 10x10 too.

AliExpress and Amazon sell many different styles of clips to use for guyouts. So you could put them down the center.

Amazon has a few nalgene carriers that I have saved. That are molle on the sides and elastic cord top. There are several styles in a couple of these links. You can also find these on AliExpress for cheaper.

Another great surplus pouch is the USMC double duty pouch. They have an elastic cord top with a buckle flap. They're cheap too. And well made.

Coyote sustainment pouches are cheap too. Search that on Google. They have molle.
