If you are looking at those cheap radios its worth concidering and takeing a look at some murs radios instead. Will cost a bit more for 2 radios but have some pros over FRS walmart radios (in my opinion so many answers to whats the best radios/frequencies seem to be "it depends")

My recommendation also is licence free.. if you dont care about being licensed or want to get required licenses then there are other options

I like the Geigerrig because you can pressurize the water, makes drinking a lot easier, and allows you to spray water if you need to.

The FROG top: Genuine Issue USMC Desert Marpat Frog Combat Shirt Size Medium/Long https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VTR6D4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_D0gXDbH4ME16Z

For $30 the US issue USMC combat top is a steal, but they only seem to have medium long.

The grid fleece: USMC Genuine Issue Coyote Brown Grid Fleece Quarter Zip Pullover (Large) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MAXVY4R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G2gXDbKWH1D7X

It was a lot less when I bought it, but it's a fantastic warming layer. I'd keep checking back if you don't feel like dropping over $70 on it.

I've had this guy for a year and it's falling apart:

The name brand version is pretty fine. It's got a cover for the tube, a decent enough mouthpiece, and it's of a decent capacity.

These are the most common carriers or bladders with bags I see in the army:

The I lost/threw away my camelbak after basic but I want to look professional
May or may not come with side clips for the carrier.

Just out of basic/I don't want to spend useless monies. Comes with side clips to attach to molle.

The only people that buy these in the units I've been in (3 intotal). Tend to add even more pouches and pockets with random cringy patches. They don't even carry anything in their bag.

If the product doesn't come with clips you can use any generic clip or carabiner.

My personal advice

Literally any bag that can hold or fit the brand name 3L bladder. Just buy the camelbak bladder on it's own and find a used bag at a second hand store the carrier doesn't mean much as the bladder as you could literally just have a neutral colored draw string bag.

Then stuff both the bag and bladder in the bag you intend to use. If you need to clear your house (an Ill advised move) then you won't need water in the immediate circumstance. If you intend on wearing your backpack such as when you need to fully bug out and do foot march to your chosen location. From there you can sip and shoot (Ill advised move as well) needed. You still retain the option of walking around with the bladder and carrier on it's own when doing a patrol or when just sitting around.

Directly attaching the bladder to the armor is something I do infrequently as I find I need to attach it or strap it to my bag.

So following my advice:
