I have an M4A1 SOPMOD block 2 that's semi-clone correct. It's basically inspired-by. I have all the necessary parts save for minor variations (EX: EXPS 2-0 vs 3-0). That said, all I have left is the BUIS and my rifle will look identical. To be correct, I need the Matech... But I do not like the Matech. It's so clunky and outdated with long-term reliability issues. I can't bring myself to take that final step. I see sights like the Griffin M2, or the Peak 02 rear sight from Scalarworks and it makes me second guess everything. I don't know what to do.

I’m very late to this party but I used mine in wyoming as my winter hiking jacket, it’s warm enough while I’m moving and doesn’t make me sweat. I’ve also used it as a snowboarding jacket in Colorado and Wyoming, even as often as I crash it stays dry and warm.

no vids in the last 6 months , have you stopped doing content ?

what do you think about the LMT rear sight. is it worth the price they gouging out there. I've seen em for $300. I'm looking for a solid "Red dawn" situation rear iron just in case there aint no resupply, LOL.

Semper Fidelis

There two extra button holes on the hood. They attach to the epaulet buttons at each shoulder

Lol. Army issue junk that I have to rely on for my life. Hmn I don’t believe anyone on TH-cam anymore. Their only after money and or agenda

Man I have struggled with this set up with the same hood and jackets. I always seemed to have some out of place buttons.

I really can't decide if i like my m65 or bundeswehr parka more. The m65 definitely fits better and it actually attaches to the liner, however while the BW parka is not attached to liner, the longer tail does a better job blocking wind. Either way, vintage surplus wins the day and can't be beat

Does your water filtration system have anti microbial filters? I would consider boiling your filtered water prior to consumption if it doesn't.

Fold the gen 1 ruff back😂

I was in the Army for 8 years. Every single person in my unit, 200 people, had this matech mounted on their m4. Never once, not once, did anyone ever have an issue.

This scenario feels timeless. Could be from the French and Indian War or American Revolution. Great job and considerations.

CONGRATS ON 1k!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there are any Aussies watching that are curious about the Platatac Woobie Hoodie - all I can say is; you won't be disappointed. Like any new garment these days though no matter the price you pay; always look for signs of seam failure and shoe glue it. This should be routine in equipment check.

Nice to see SOMEBODY had teh good sense to carry an ILBE!

So what brand is considered to be USGI issued? Propper? Rothco? Alpha? Enquiring minds wanna know!

Great video! Thank you!

Good kit. I like that you go with everyday bic lighters as a primary fire source - keeping it real not playing bushcraft ehen not neccesary. More observation tools? Binos? You need to do minimize casualties so you need some intel. Of course if you have at least one scope on rifle that will do the trick without adding weight. I recommend cutting down even further on tools. You are walking as a group so even the folding saw amd camp axe can be shared and are pursuiting so speed is key and each gram counts. As for batteries - once again if it's mission critical you need to power it. Even if it comes to having 1lb battery pack on the back of your head like in old school gen 1 tanker gogles it's still worth it

Ive never witnessed one of these breaking. I got a new one from my armoror before I received that 214, back in 12. Still running it today on my main. Zero issues.

It was a great time. A little cold, but otherwise a good break from the real world.

How much of that turbid water do you think you can do with that filter? I’ve used Grayl’s and Sawyer’s on water like that and they don’t last long enough for me to justify carrying them.

Fact, both Canada's versions of the poncho liner and field jacket liners are like moving blankets, not nearly as soft as the US liners. Both US items rock!

You ain’t kidding that’s more important than anything

Doing the things....🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻

Outstanding! Stay motivated! Real shame you fellas are 6 hours away.

So close to 1k! 999 as of 9:39 PM EST 2/12/24

That was a good time. I am glad we had a small group of people to pause modern life during winter for a period of time to go and work on survival skills.

One of my knees got messed up but i really need to get out and do this. I can use trekking poles if i have too im tired of excuses

Good job getting out and training! That hill looked brutal for sure. I’ve got a set of Kahtoola K10 crampons that help immensely on that half frozen winter ground when snow shoes aren’t quite necessary. Keep up the good work!

Good job fellas!

How far did you go?

Great pistol training video!

A Military Specification (tough as nails) 5 gallon Specter jug is more cost effective. Put it on a frame pack from a sports store near you. A Vario or something similar is adequate if the water source will be hard to reach, like a Talus slope. A powered pump of some sort is optional, and may be too loud. 🎶Meet me down by the railroad track, track. 🎶

Don't buy anything from eBay ever

*ProTip:* stay proficient! Get out _at least_ once a month to re-myelinate (that's muscle memory) those neural pathways. It's crucial to fix that sight picture, perfect and hold it on those longer stages. You've got the time, use it to put 'em the 9 or 10 ring. *DB* - might need to shift your sights a smidge. Move those groups 2" right and the score climbs dramatically.

You would have a much better score if you improved your pistol prone position. Instead of doing a roll over, monopod the gun off the ground for more stability, it lowers your silhouette as well. If you need more height to see the sights, you can modify your grip and stack your fists or use an extended magazine. The same can be said if you used bone support during the kneeling position instead of taking a double knee.

I like the hat! Congrats on 1k!!!! 994 as of 2/11/24 2:48 PM

My red dot is the Romeo 5 XDR. It takes a AAA battery, has up to 40,000 hours on one battery, and I have a 24 pack that is supposed to have a 10 year storage life. Oh, it also has an accelerometer in it. It's on standby until I move it. Then I have MBUS sights on it also. My 4X multiplier doesn't take batteries, so I should be good. Oh, I have been looking at the CMMG conversion. I love it.

For a shovel on your LBE, can't you just get an E-Tool and pouch?

How big is that pack? And weight?

Oh, you where a 2111 and a 91f? I Became a 91f last year, NG as well. Wish I did my job more often.

I’ve got a few of these. Very nice and about the perfect mid layer. But as an outer in the woods it gets torn easy and it’s worthless in the wet.

Tools mentioned are good. In addition to the previously mentioned, I am thinking bolt cutters, pry bar, sillcock key, and even a hack saw.

Got to be able to observe..Great idea about cutting the bino in half ..

This series was a great idea. I am glad to see your sub numbers growing. People thirst for good information and this channel is definitely providing. Keep up the good work.

Your channel deserves more views

With a solid handled shovel, you can use the edge as a hatchet. I mean you _are_ keeping the edges of your shovel clean and sharp, right? *Highly recommend* an alternate non-filter water solution. Look into treatment tabs, or iodine solutions as these are lightweight, won't break, clog, or freeze, and they work passively while on the move. You've got multiple edged tools, weapons, and fire starters but a single "fast" water source. Boiling is great if you can stop & ignite a heat source, but fuel may be difficult to find or use.
