I was in Iaq three different times wearing anywear from 85-120 lbs of gear in temps above 110. It sucks and you need water but you can get use to it. NEVER saciface protection. If it is a concern train for it. put on lyers of clothes and a back pack with some wieght and go for a hike. Start off with just minutes and work your way up to hours. Never thought of having a lock pick cool idea! Weapon wish list is cool but keep it simple. Will there be rounds for the weapon? Not saying for a month I'm saying you can find them for a year.
