Remote Paramedical pain in the ass
Zed was evaluating his ‘combat load’ for his upcoming mission as well. He didn’t want this to be an assault on another group. He wanted information. He also knew he had to prepare in case it went sideways. In this, he had confidence in his pick for the trip. He wanted to do this more like a cross between Kit Carson and the Viet Nam Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol guys.
He had quite a few magazines for his Valmet 62. The Finnish AK variant was a wonderful find in the bin of AKs in Garen’s stockpile of captured and recovered. He spent long hours searching the magazines for the right ones for it as well. He wished he had one of those South African battle vests to put it all in, but those all got snapped up after they were made famous after being used in some movie.
If this evolved into a firefight, they were doing everything wrong. They were supposed to be ghosts, floating along unseen, gathering data, striking only when and if they had to. That was why he picked who he did. He kept reminding himself light and lethal. He needed every pound to be justified. He would remind the other two when they got ready as well.
Camera, monocular or binoculars, lightweight sleeping bag, bivy sack, dehydrated food, rope, flexi-cuffs, and so on and so forth. Zed tried to think and then tried to eliminate as much fluff as he could. The weather here made more gear necessary than walking in the bush in Africa. He tried to think about this as a hunting reconnaissance. Couldn’t let the game see you and spook. Had to see where they were and what their habits were. They might get the opportunity to discuss the situation as well.
Zed tried to keep his brain moving. He was reminded of something his grandfather told him. ‘Old men need their sleep, but they don’t need a lot of it.’ He was still quite awake and could do these things while the others got some rest.
