Dude,
Just what are you trying to do? The mission should dictate your gear, not the other way around.
If you're going for re-enactment / "impression" (as they call it in the UK), then get the stuff that matches the time period your replicating.
If you're trying to just carry stuff for games, figure out what you want to carry, then determine what you want to get from that.
Stay away from TAC-FORCE. You'd be better off with USGI surplus, IMO. However I will tell you, that trying to save money by purchasing crap gear, or gear that is merely adequate, will mean you end up spending MORE in the long run buying the stuff you should have gotten from the beginning.
However, as most of us have done, we didn't listen either. Instead, we purchased knock-offs and shit, and ended up disappointed.
"Buy quality and you'll only cry once."
If you need some inexpensive gear while you save your scheckels to purchase good stuff, go USGI for a while...it's reaily availalble, and won't (usually) fall apart.
Also, buy the best , most comfortable footwear you can afford. You will thank me for this piece of advice some day.
