Kit Builder
Build the right kit for your budget.
Pick a mission and a number. We'll build the loadout from our catalog — essentials first, then upgrades until the money's spent — in the order to actually buy it.
1 · Mission
Home Defense
What actually matters at 3 a.m.
Range Day
Train safe and comfortable.
Duty / Patrol
Load-bearing kit for the job.
Night Fighter
Own the dark — the expensive end of the hobby.
Backcountry Hunt
Glass, layers, and boots that last.
72-hour / Bug-out
Leave in ten minutes, be all right for three days.
Grey-Man EDC
Capability with zero signature.
2 · Budget
3 · Environment (optional)
Pattern guidance · Urban / Low signature
Solids only — grey, black, navy, wolf, ranger green. Camo prints in town are a signature, not concealment.

Reference ranges to set expectations — KitID doesn't sell or link firearms, and these aren't counted in the gear budget above.
Night vision goggles
Nightfox Swift Monocular
$150
budget
The single biggest capability jump — and cost — in the hobby.
No analog unit fits this budget, so this slot shows the digital option instead — a sensor and a screen, good for watching, not for working under. KitID’s call: save for a budget analog tube before you buy night vision to move under.
Inexpensive handheld digital monocular for close-range viewing.
Some links go to sellers — KitID is not paid for those. Gear Wizard Armory is our house brand.
Save up for next
Helmet · NVG mount · IR laser · Weapon light · Plate carrier · Armor plate · Comms headset · Red dot sight · Medical gear · Thermal optic · Sling · Pouch
These didn't fit this budget — the next tier up covers them.
Prices are catalog street-price estimates; high-ticket optics and night vision move the most — verify before you buy. "Where to buy" links are third-party searches, except where an item links to our own store (Gear Wizard Armory) — that's labeled on the item.
