we’ve ran with collin at numerous mil-sim events. he always proves himself to be a valuable asset, good communicator, and always has squared-away kit.
In this video he breaks down everything he has on his body - his gear, kit, and rifle setup - and how his experience in the usmc informed some of those decisions.

Mil-Sim led a young "Dan" to the Army and his experiences over the years have drastically changed how he plays "the game".
Over the past year we've linked up with Dan at two separate events and greatly benefited from his leadership.
In this video, he covers his kit and loadout and how it compares to what he still uses today as an SFC in the 82nd Airborne.
Dan can be contacted directly on his Instagram page.
