Old pattern yes. We made a new pattern harness similar to both Iphod and SMERCH with molle and less chest, Soflcs...... the closest current issue surplus is probably the A-Tap but even then....

Just got one. It’s dope. Camo pattern is under rated over hated imo

i have a kydex sheath for my russian shovel, think it was like $30 off etsy or ebay

Put the harness mounted knife on your belt. Sooner or later, you will lose it mounted like that. The neck knife is a good idea and should take care of any need for a fast access knife.

I'd really recommend to put some sort of safety sheath on the shovel if you want to carry it with sharp edge toward you back.

I do not if you still rock this belt kit. But take another alice mag carrier and place it on the dump pouch. Then attach the dump pouch on the grenade loops

zip tie a piece of sleeping mat into the belt for padding to make it significantly more comfortable, maybe spray paint the shovel so it stands out less.

Did you ever dye it?

No dump pouch?

You’re devolving.

2IC means second in command in the British army

That Soviet e-tool was made to be worn on the belt, on the right butt-cheek (among other integrations) - it's the Soviet soldier's "multitool": hatchet, shovel, hand-to-hand weapon - all in one - some have even used it as a frying pan. My 2 pence: Make a sheath (to protect yourself and gear from its sharp edges), and place it behind the buttpack with sharp edges facing outwards. Alternatively, you can have it handing behind one of the canteen pouches (would make it easier to sit on the ground). Alternatively, you can place it horizontally above the buttpack. Also you can place it vertically on the yoke on your back (handle up for quick access). It's awkward shape is it's only drawback - otherwise, the Soviet e-tool is really the best out there. I usually keep mine on the side of the bergen (rucksack). Personally, I have the Austrian folding shovel (identical to US Vietnam-era e-tool) ...it's good, but if I'd choose again, I'd probably for go with the Glock E-tool.

Ever since the ABU load carrier I’ve just seen you slowly fall into the darkside😅

give British PLCE webbing a shot. Genuine JayJays is the top of the line, as far as i can tell. Vastly superior to LBVs in most regards

cool stuff, got a mich helmet myself, im in about the same spot. no night vison, but i had the single hole helmet so i have that mount and a cheap arm for it for now, i've not had it cut yet but im not sure if i will. no rails yet but i may grab some, rip off team wendy ratchet headstrap, and electric ear pro from walmart. pure poverty set up, lol.

Maybe you should just stop shooting the video and resume when the burping is over?

About the "smell" part I have a tip from my dad who served in the Croatian war for independence. "We could always smell when the chetniks had a change of men on the front because the wind carried their cologne through the woods"

Damn dude I've been a sub for a while don't know how I missed this.

You can get a ww2 style etool holder on the back of the suspenders

Thank you for sharing ❤it 16:10

It’s rare that I go a day without using my AK. So I get having a shower gun.

Nice stuff..... where can I get my copy of the manual?

YOU ARE RIGHT, I LIKE IT A LOT

Yah apple juice my foot and the fuel canister they are all one standard size except for the bigger ones does it matter which one you buy the base is all the same size in the top that you screw the burner into is all standard all the same size no matter which one you get and on your canteen those little pouches on the side are for your water purification tabs to go in to

Kit is great! Its good to see ALICE being used in a modern world and seeing modern gear integrated in a meaningful way and it shows some actual use! Things I've noticed while doing stuff in the woods and whatnot: -foil top items can often break and cause the contents to spill (apple sauce, PB, etc.) take at your own risk, and check often if youre a little more vigorous in activity with your gear -all packages with moisture can break and move into other things (wet wipes for example) can bust open. At worst they can wet other items, at best, they just dry out to a scented dry wipe -boo-boo kit is nothing if you dont have an alcohol wipe or two in there. Minor cuts that arent clean will get funky and painful. Good to look into the single-serve antibiotic pouches so they fit easier in the kit compared to a whole tube. -bayo is great to have as a beefy knife to use to make shelter and other outdoorsy crafting things you can come up with -ALICE rigs allow for chest rigs for modularity and adding on more stuff like ammo and other specialty gear, to include plates -handguns are nice, but retention of a sidearm can be a nightmare. Losing the sidearm with a dot and light can turn a fun RECCE-whatever mission into a legit search-and-rescue for YOUR weapon. Its nice, but you will pay the price in making space for your sidearm and the ammo it needs

The main way I've seen these fail are the shoulder straps turning into spaghetti. This won't happen for awhile but this one and the large ruck will fail eventually.

You could even spray paint this whole set up to your liking. The spray paint will pick up all the natural stuff in your environment and make it even more camouflaged. I've rattle canned gear before and it works pretty well even with heavy use. The fad right now is micro chest rigs but bit load bearing vests still have their place. Also, is that knife cumbersome at all? I've never used this system so i can't tell how it fits on your body. To me it looks like if you took a knee, that knife would be in your way.

I was born with CHD. (Congenital Heart Disease) So to be applicable enough for these kind of situations has always been a concern of mine, I’m 6ft 170-80lbs and have good dexterity. Even though I have this condition being applicable enough for these situations is mandatory and important to me.

Go and get the U.S.A.F. 10O ounce Comes in ABU Tiger stripe and molly laters perfectly to the webbing on that back h‐herness. Pluss more webbing on the back of it.

The poncho is going to fall off, put it in the but pack or kiss it good bye. Where is your camo kit?

Ditch the bayonet, tomahawk, rubber gloves, use 3-4” knife. Water bladders suck, leak, grow bacteria, ditch it get 2 more canteens.

I think such ETLBV / Alice gear with the DBDU was used by some marines during Operation Restore Hope in Somalia ... before BLACKHAWK DOWN

What size did you get and what're your dimensions? Thanks!

I think you can cary 7 mags in m-60 100 round belt pouches. Heck it's only wait. Bayberry attach them to your assault pack ?

Nothing worse than running out of mega-zines in a gun fight

As for the fast rig set ups of today I don't think k there as good. Plate carying rigs are or can be over loaded then with a full set up battle belt it's to much like clutter. A good web gear is the basic same set up with much better suport and comfort.

I just started to set up a FLC Vest. I have been running and gunning since the late 70s with the vietnam web gear. Waiting for my FLC Vest and all new pouches in the mail any day now. I will be able to use any of these pouches on a different chest rig + belt set up if the vest doesn't work out. At my age now the vest seemed the best at wait distribution. I did upgrade in the mid 80s to the same Bianchi pistal holster. You know your going to lose your gun in that one. Thanks for sharing ❤

M81 is boss. It’ll be the patriots color. I would not run any multicam if something bad happens. That’s the fed color.

Cat 👍

You need to focus on carrying more ammo. Way too much ouch pouch stuff. All that kit should be attached to your plate carrier anyways. Sidearm, pistol mag pouches, canteens, IFAK should go on a battle belt.

At 6:47 The spoor is the sign the tracker is following, i.e.: prints, broken branches, dropped trash etc.

Great tips at the end! Thanks. Here's a couple more: I'm picking up a NOS lbv88e tomorrow so I havent tried it yet but I'm going to try the trick where you soak the mag pouches in hot water and shove pmags in there and let it dry. I heard guys did the same to cram like 6 20rounders in the canteen pouch. I'll report back with results. I'll be replacing the harness with the british plce which I hear is the best. And while you could cut up a sleeping mat to use as belt padding, the british have a nice looking DPM hip pad that just velcros over the belt. I'm excited about that cause alice clips freaking suck when they create hot spots. Also if you're like me and don't want to tie 550 cord on every alice clip and just ziptie them instead, make sure you file them down after trimming them flush so they don't cut into any of your gear. 🤙

Crusier ready. My shot gun load out i have 80 rds. Yes 80 rds.

Cool kit nice and simple!

Good stuff I have an eagle h harness multicam load out for $150 I love it.

What belt liner do you have?

😂

I believe ALICE is the way to go. That what I used in the U.S. Army as a Infantryman from 1981-95.👍😏

Yo brody. You need to do a video of proper food to fuel your body. Alot of these jokers think ramen noodles and tuna will cut it. No way.

Did you ever serve in the military?
