As a retired Air Force dude who went through weeks of aircrew survival training, I can directly relate to this setup-- it's downright righteous.
You're a ranger. You don't need to explain anything to anybody. Anything on this channel kicks ass. ❤
" If circumstances should at any time obligate the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of ARMS who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist. "
~Alexander Hamilton Federalist No.28 January 10th 1788
I saw the auditioning process to be accepted to the portion where they are accepted to be invited to try and take the course. In this The Audition the Instructors put The Log on the ground and proceeded to order all The Inductees on the ground and had them roll around on the ground and to roll around The Log ALL day. To simulate having all four 8:02 blown off. Then a couple other things which were crazier.
Exactly
I have never seen Alexander Hamilton described as anything like a supremacist. Just being prepared to deal with a possibly misguided military does not make you evil.@@YELLTELL

Right! If I'm gonna take advice from anyone how to set up my belt... it's you brother. Nice RTF with the gills btw🤘🏼
I'm not a shooter, myself, but I do appreciate your taking the time to talk about how to set up a belt, which is a simple subject that everyone seems to overlook. Advice on how to choose or evaluate a belt was particularly welcome, and I wouldn't mind going into it even more.
There are tons of ways to setup your belt. Really depends on your "mission" and budget. As a patrol officer, you'd for sure want as slim of a small-of-back as you can. More tactical rolls, I'd say this would work fine.
If you are looking into good places to get gear, like medical, check out Dark Angel Medical. For holsters and pouches, SKD Tactical. Both those sites run awesome deals around the holidays.
LOL Never underestimate an angry woman who's table was painted by her hubby.
Love the chem light on the med kit in case you don't have a headlamp. Only things I would add would be pistol light and red dot sight. Bad things happen at night. Thanks Major!
My team leader showed me a trick he was taught in BN. Put empty mags down your blouse until you can safely unbuckle your LBE to drop them out to reload and store. This frees up the space on the belt where dump pouch is on. In the 90s we didn't have dump pouches or plate carriers. At best a flak vest and Kevlar. Only wore those at the tire house MOUT site and the point man course. And of course Kevlar on jumps.
Major, thanks for another fine online class. When I'm watching your videos, I feel like I'm with the platoon in the classroom, the 1st sergeant got detailed to HQ for something and you're teaching the class instead. Thanks again.
I also use a pistol mag pouch as multi tool holder. It works very well. Although I like the one you have better because it has the buckle
The belt belt needs water.
Another method of dealing with all those holster swaps is the Safariland QLS System. Everything is addressed with only one holster👍
Great set up demo, sir!
As always Andrew, a very thoughtful Battle belt ready for a combat situation. I created a Battle belt as well but tailored it for survival in a wilderness or an urban environment. Probably not the focus of your Ranger-minded preparedness.
I like your idea of attaching the gloves to the belt. I have a similar belt and attach a Streamlight to that specific loophole.
I don't carry a firearm and I use a Janus pack instead of an IFAK. Instead of magazines, I have a military canteen and cup/stove with a brew kit inside.
I also carry a Mora knife on my left side (instead of a pistol) with an emergency flashing beacon on my Janus Pack. The pack has all of the typical survival elements like a mini Silva compass, a small frontier water filter, and a Fero rod. (and a lot of other things too numerous to mention)
And I lash a poncho rain tarp to the top just like I did in my 11B10 days when we had web gear. I am just not using the shoulder straps and don't miss them cutting into my shoulders.
I learn something every time I watch your videos.
Lol, I'm still waiting for my wife to notice the camo over spray on her table on the back porch. It's been cold here lately, so she hasn't been out back yet. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Maybe she can't see it??
Really like your system Andrew, particularly the knife placement. Enjoying and learning from these videos, thanks again
I'm digging this military aspect of your Channel. And love the concept of the kiss method. A lot of folks get spun up into a gear junkie status and have way more crap on their belts than they need.
God bless you and the men that followed you as rangers now your channel is 100% legitbless U.S.A❤
Thanks for the professional tips. I learn something every video.

LOL. This matches my BB almost exactly. I do have a dump pouch and a HT pouch for comms. Thx for doing this.
I have used those belt buckles for years, I work where safety harnesses are often needed, environmental factors (welding) destroy the nylon webbing material. I have taken the buckles out when we scrap the harness to use it as a regular belt buckle.
Thank you, this video provided excellent guidance for those setting up something like this for the first time. Tweek to meet your personal requirements.
Thanks for sharing. Keep your outstanding videos reeling in!!!!
Great instructional video, can hardly wait to start making mine! Thank you.
Great video, I run a similar setup. I rig a ball bungees on my non-retention holsters as a retaining device. I secure the bungee through the bottom screw of the holster to the belt mount . Very easy to use, reach down behind behind the holster and stretch the bungee over the back of the pistol. Wrapping Goon/hockey tape around ball to eliminates any rattle when moving not retained.
Great idea! Pretty hard to shoot a mean gator if you lost your pistol in the water at Camp Swampy. Those ball bungees are also ideal for securing tarps.
If I'm ever in a SHTF situation,.. I want this cat with me
Technically and you should hit the fan scenario. You don't want anybody with you... Especially on patrols. See but be unseen, listen yet. Be unheard smell but give off. No odor. Always travel upwind most of all, mind your surroundings surroundings
My father taught me these things.
He was ECMR Vietnam US Navy 65 to 68...
The number one cause it is going to be most prevalent are the people that are going to be eating other people after the food runs out. There ain't no coming back from that... They will have the shakes..
and, do not fall for a honey pot..
Watch their eyes and watch their hands... The telltale signs will be there
Another awesome video!! Thanks, Andrew!
Nice set up Andrew, thanks.
what I want on my belt is a canteen, maybe two of them. Anyone who doesn't think the same has done damned little forced marching, for a fact. You can easily go thru a qt of water in a couple of hours when you're highly stressed and if you are pushing hard and dont take a swallow or two of water every 20 minutes, it WILL show in your diminished performance, both physical and mental.
I agree about having a pistol, I dont agree wth having a big , double stack pistll and 45 rds of fairly feeble rds for the pistol and having all of that ammo on the belft if the ammo is 9mm, you can probably replace it in the field and youll probably be very dead long before you can fire a dozen rds from the pistol, on any one occasiaon, If yu're HITTING anything with the pistol, you'll almost certainly have solvered your problem in 6 rds, at least well enough to get to cover and once you have coer, you can swap mags. Missing dozens of times does not solve the problem, especially a pistol type problem.
Safariland has battle belt holsters that can use the QLS system for quick removal when needed. They don't ride too low, and still use one thigh strap. They are worth the money.
Great video Sir . Proven battle born tactics . It's always good to see your material come across the wire. Let's be ready patriots.
Like the simple clean setup Col.
Thank you Andrew
Thanks Andrew for another excellent video.
I have the 5 c's on my battle belt. Cheap condor rig but it's held up to 3 years of competition shooting and larping around in the woods, it's been solid. I've changed it up and moved things around a lot over the past couple years as I figure out what works for me and what doesn't. Everybody needs a go belt.
Man are one of the best presenters I've ever found on youtube. Really like your channel, thanks so much
Awesome stuff. I been waffling on getting my battle belt set up. This gave me confidence. Thank you Ranger. This 10th Mtn Guy is grateful.
Love the tan coloured ESSE over the illuminus / toxic green versions !! Super thick blade stock ! Bomb proof! Definitely one of the best survival / outdoor knives imo! Good video Andrew 👏👍
First time I've seen one of your videos, loved it! Thanks for the down to earth low down on a great belt review. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
No mil experience here but was cool to see you attach the extra TQ the same way I ended up doing it (rubber bands). I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not but it's worked so far. Gonna keep rockin' it now! Thanks!
Nice to hear you refer to your wife…
I’m sure you teach your family all these things…
~Grow your own team…
God bless you, Andrew and your family…
Thank you for all you do to share your knowledge with us…every week… you are appreciated and loved…
🙏🏻❤️
That's an excellent setup Soldier. Love the concept and ideals behind the thinking 👍🏾🫡
Great video, gave me something to think about on my setup.
Very cool very informative. Thank you!!!
Outstanding AF.
Plain and simple, nice
Thx Andrew, perfect set up. I like this content as well. Something different to bushcraft and survival but anyhow related. 👍🏻✌🏻
Agreed at the end on a dump pouch. More practical than jamming stuff into pockets, especially if the pants cargo pockets aren't easy to open with gloves.
Im so glad youre showing this stuff. Keep it up!
Great video. I love the setup
Great battle belt layout & setup.
Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!
Awesome!! Great simple set up!!
Just one word..."Awesome"!
I agree anything on this Chanel kicks ass keep it coming
A really cool battle belt! You are awesome ranger!!!
Love the skills I'm learning I'm homeless in nashville and the videos are super helpful thanks from an ex navy with ptsd who can't work
Andrew great video and always love the info great teaching info.
Major Andrew thanks for the great information 🇺🇸👍
clean, small enough to stash easily and everything you need at a moments notice
If it hasnt been mentioned already and you arent familiar with it...check out the safariland system for holsters. I only buy safariland because of the versatility and modularity, Another great video as always. Currently working on my 3d iteration of a battle belt, but what doesnt change is the safariland holster system. Thank you so much for your videos and more importantly your service to our great country.
I too just made a 3rd battle belt / LBE rig. I like the molle stuff but have a couple Bianchi military holsters. I really like the security / protection of them. (I prefer full size pistols) and found that it's actually pretty quick to draw surprisingly enough. I don't do chest rigs / body armor as I'm old but love the suspenders of LBE and have a molle 2 patrol pack with my get home LBE. Fits good.
One tip I have is to keep lightsticks in a sorta shielded compartment as if you bump em hard enough you can set em off and then be lit up at the worst of times.
Well presented
The irony of insisting on calling them retainer bands by all the JMs is that the supply nomenclature IS rubber bands. They only become retainer bands in the TM once they're placed on the parachute system
SIR ANDREW, dumb to all of this but trying to learn. The rate that myself and i am sure other are learning can be over whelming at times..Thankful for your calm and helpful approach and instruction.
Never heard of anyone else doing this but it really works.
i cut up innertubes of bicycles from fat tires on down , and motorcycle tubes of mini bikes on up to use as Rubber bands.
Same color as the B2 and just as veratile
Plus you can stack them 4 or 5 high to double as a tourniquet
I see you got that Glock Gen 3 RTF2 on your belt. A true man of class I see.
Simple and straight forward. Thanks Andrew. Hope the wife appreciates your effort in teaching others and lets the table thing go..otherwise nice knowing you. lol.
Nice setup. My training is all pistol or 3gun competition so my belt is alway too full. It’s good to have some ideas on how to rearrange for emergencies.
I feel really good about my setup. Thanks.
The only variances are: I use a bicycle inner tube stretched over the belt to hold a _CAT and penny cutter_ on the left side and my multi tool on the right. Very accessible and low profile. My IFAK is in a fanny pack that I can swing around to the front to work from, and it has few more options. My knife is a _Khukri_ style mount roughly in the same place and manner. And I do have a dump pouch. Additionally, I use the _Safariland QLS system so I can swap weapons or configurations and continue using the same belt.
Thank you
Down right dirty setup for a battle belt..we like it mate. There a couple of mods you can do to the holster that will secure the gun. It's so easy that even you can do it yourself. As for that table cloth...mate you're on your own. Good luck.!
That OD G-Shock is pretty nice
Been looking at different battle belt set ups to see the different ideas out there and which ones work best for me.
Definitely going to use the TQ placement and ironically the belt used is the same I have.
Very cool. Sensible.
Good setup Andrew, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Tysm!
Thanx, great video. I’m gonna camo my gear and the wife’s table as well. Honestly in light of other things I have done, she probably won’t even mention it.
What I was looking for, the 1stcaid kit. Then you
Great video buddy
T Y again, Sir! A lot is to like about this belt setup. The Glock is hard to beat for a dependable semiauto. The back scout position for the excellent knife offers carry within strong hand reach, plus concealment from front view. The terrific tourniquet on the belt, plus one with a pack, make an important pair for compound wounds. The inner friction-belt band seems to help obviate a shoulder yoke. The skeletal Kydex paddle holster is comfortable, durable, & versatile. I use a vintage G.I. tanker holster over shoulder for a semiauto 9mm , a compact .357 revolver, or a single-action .45 Colt revolver, all equally well-fitting. I like the bandolier stud for its quiet operation of the holster strap. A pistol can fall out via a neglected strap, though! .
Or maybe choose a smaller and lighter gun? It is not the primary weapon, but only a backup - emergency one. I'd rather have more AK ammunition than burden myself with a pistol. You have to remember that all this has to be carried.
Nice setup, the only thing I’d add is a blue force gear dump pouch
Nice RTF2. Bit different than my belt, but I'm cross-dominant and I've been shooting this way for 40 years, training scars are deep and untraining has failed. Little bit of a drop panel on the right side, holster and primary mag next to each other, with the panel covering my RF pocket for security. But I'm a mutant. I kinda hate that holster- open tipped holsters just scream "FOD me!". The only thing I'd add to that is a light, and a third rubber band for your second TQ.
Andrew try turning your pistol magazines around with the round facing to the rear. Much faster on the reload with the glock. I had them facing forward for years, and it required more manipulation when reloading, then was shown how it was faster rear facing.
Great video
Thanks for the great video and details on how to do this. I just wonder if a torch should be included and, if not, why?
Good video.
Great to see someone with your background using a SERPA holster.
So fun fact, I'm cross eye dominant so my rifle mag is behind my pistol and pistol mags on my weak hand. Balances things out like a western gun belt.
Was a Seabee we did this shit too. Miss it..now.
Like this kind of content!
Interesting video on your belt set up. Food for thought. Enjoy your videos. Take care.🇺🇲🌲🔪🔥
Nice setup. If you haven't heard of the Blackhawk T-Seriew holsters, check them out for sure. You can get lvl 2 or 3, non-light bearing or light bearing. Limited in selections. I think only Glocks and P320 versions are available.
The non-light bearing lvl 2 runs just over 100 bucks and the compact lvl 2 runs a little over 60 I think.
I've run the lvl 3 as a duty and it is by far, the best I've used. It's fast, intuitive, durable and not too bad looking.
A cool option they have is the leg strap. Not needed on a stiffer 2in wide belt, like a Bianchi. Kind of needed on more "loose" fitting belts. The leg strap rotates on a spacer so no more movement when you have to pick up you leg or offsetting your draw if you need to draw from an angle that makes your leg bend.
Solid overall except the serpa holster. Can't use those in many different classes for good reason. If going with a serpa I'd use one without the press lock button on it. Better yet, add a light on the pistol and use a solid light bearing holster.
Retainer bands, roger that. LOL. Nice video. RLTW!
Awesome! Alliteration always amazes any academian....
Shooter preference is for people who know what they are doing.
I also recommend hair ties for the tq instead of retainer bands. I’ve seen way too many tqs break while moving through the brush.
Good vid. looks like a nice rig.
Awesome video! Reminds me I have to post a new one about what I changed on my belt. If yours changes in the future please post a new video on your updates!!!
Awesome
After getting over spray paint on his Wife's table.. this was the day he went missing...Hopefully he can run faster than she can...😂😂😂
I'd love to see a video on the basics of a chest rig or plate carrier
