New guy here, so bear with me. There has been a lot of useful material posted in here, so I thought I would try to return the favor in some measure. Candidly, I’m more experienced than most at rucking and living in the field. By November, will have spent over 150 nights living out of my ruck this year. Less experienced than many with the shooting. Did “precision” shooting in LE and other shooting in combat arms, but nothing to write home about. LE sniper was really just shooting small targets at pretty close range under pressure. For those of you unfamiliar, it’s not as hardcore as it can be made to sound. For those who are familiar…well, you know.

First time competition (of any kind). January 2026 Mammoth. No sponsors. Thought I would toss out a “PAR” and follow up with an AAR. This has as much potential to be about what not to do/use as it does what to do. Critique is fine. I have thick skin.

Guns and gear are made up of what I already have and use. WMLRF would be great, but can’t swing the cost.

Position: Secondary (Primary is shooting 6mm)
Weapons:
DT A2 in .308 with 16” barrel, two five round magazines, MPA one piece mount, Arca rail, and DD LTI suppressor (It’s what I have. Prefer the 300NM barrel for her, but not allowed at Mammoth)
P365 (I built) Fuse-ish with 4.9” barrel and Holosun. It’s a basic-bitch gun. Maybe bringing a suppressor for it, but probably not. Has both 21 and 17 round magazines.
Ammo:
Maybe staying with factory FGMM, but will load up some Bergers if I have time
Federal match 9mm synthetic.
Glass:
NF NX8
Tripod(s): (All Spartan. Not bringing bipod.)
Springbok tripod head, lightweight tripod head (“Hoplite”)
1 set carbon legs short, 1 set carbon legs long (the latter also work for hammock suspension, trekking, and tarp tent)

Pack & Tent:
Warbonnet enclosure tarp with some custom dyneema rigging for use as tent with tripod legs
Warbonnet suspension hammock (I use on ground as well as hanging. Sleeping pad goes in its sleeve.)
Sleeping Bag and pad…haven’t decided yet. Will play some more in the mountains this fall with my setups. These are two items I’m not opposed to upgrading or changing (e.g., I have never used a quilt system.)
Bivy/Rain jacket/drag bag/backup shelter: Outdoor Research Wallcreeper (one of my favorite pieces of kit ever)

Exo Mountain Gear 7200 pack (won’t be very full, but way better design than the Dana Designs/Mystery Ranch I used on heavy carries for many years. Also quieter, more liveable, and better for stowing rifle or bow than my custom Alice setup.)
Lightweight Velcro belt and an outer molle belt (old version of “Misty Mountain Operator Belt”) with pistol, basic Alien holster, and dump bags. In warm to cool weather, I can (and sometimes do) carry rifle and this belt and pack everything I need to hunt and live in the woods. Not ultra light, but makes up for it in being tough and ultra useful.

Packed Clothes: (their stuff sack is also shooting bag and pillow)
4 pair socks
3 pairs Ranger panties
1 pair pants
1 light and 1 mid layer shirt
Eberlestock insulated pants
Mid and outer layer jackets

Other:
Kestrel
Razor HD 4000
Mystery Ranch pack rain cover
Notepad & pen
Maybe a phone
Clip on thermal? No idea if I might need it. Long nights and short days in January and don’t know if there is low light or dark shooting.
1 pair gloves, 1 pair mittens
Weapon & optic tool kit (my own setup, and I don’t go anywhere with rifle without it)
Baby powder & wet wipes

Food:
All cold and dry. Chia seeds, instant coffee, homemade fruit leather and jerky. Maybe some peanut butter. Not for everyone, but not my first rodeo on that front.

Ruck training:
Started with 5 mile runs, some with 70lb pack and some without pack. Rucking is my jam, but my body has banked some years and injuries. Never slower than 13 1/2 min/mile pace with or without pack. Curious what approximate longest movement is at Mammoth.

Shooting:
Primary focus is on odd and uncomfortable while under physical stress. That’s the reason I wanted to participate in Mammoth.

If it makes sense, I’ll add before Mammoth. Regardless, I’ll follow up with an AAR and whatever success or failure occurred.

My wife's 2019 Tiguan's AC has quit............I removed the cabin filter, and watched the fan appear to struggle to run a couple of times, but it's not running now.

There is a fuse, and probably a relay that allows this fan to run, and I am just guessing that the fan has to run for the compressor clutch to engage.

VW, as well as most manufactures of anything don't want you working on they're stuff............can't find a good print out of fuses, and relays................anyone know more than me........

Thanks for any advice............
