Lindybeige (a military YouTuber whose tank videos I’ve used before) interviews a British volunteer fighting in Ukraine as to what is and isn’t useful field kit.
In: Mini hot water bottles, ghillie kettles, combat tourniquets and machetes.
Out: Fancy optics and Rambo knives.

Not while on the march or direct combat. But when you have the down time and wants to have actual hot water for coffee/tea/ramen, you’d rather have it than not.
There are two more segments of this 2-hour interview on YouTube. Watch them all. It’s like hearing Hemingway or Orwell just back from Spain.
Oddly enough, the US Army is testing (or was) suppressors that reduce the noise from ear damaging (literally) loud to jet engine at takeoff loud to aid communications between soldiers. It may specify suppressors on soldiers basic rifle in the near future.
