My 2 week old son and I just up watching your video. He apparently owns the night now.. Thanks for the share and the list of equipment you've included. Nice little go bag.
I recently got into better radio systems. Mostly for personal use as we have a large piece of property and my kids like to go play. We upgraded from a good quality set of FRS radios to GMRS radios because the license was easy to get, covers the entire family and has no problem reaching a mile or so. We also camp a lot in the FRS radios did fine there but the GMRS radios are much better and in the last 7 camping trips we have been on, we haven't had any issues with someone else using a channel that we were on. That being said, I recently started getting into learning about different types of radio systems and was completely blown away by the vast depth of radio technology. I don't know that spending $4K or $5K on a complete radio system setup is in my future but your content sure does make it tempting!
Totally agree! I have a CAT5 kit, I should just throw it in here. But tend to keep it separate with other networking gear. I have also been eyeing a little Wera screwdriver with multiple bits to it
Thank you for the information A question. The smaller bags and containers that make up the kit, most of them are softsided. Was that intentional? If so, what was the goal in mind?
Yes, so the DAKA bags are soft but actually a very durable material. I guess I naturally settled on this configuration after a long time working with this gear, it’s just a lot less bulky and heavy rather than bringing tons of hard sided cases to the field. There’s also a lot more flexibility in sizing options for soft cases so you can really get it fine tuned and well organized
Could you elaborate some on useful applications of making cables in the field instead of pre staging with estimated lengths. Scenarios or potential situations and what not.
Yes definitely. The most common reason for making cables on site is when your pre-staged cables break (happens all the time) or when you need to improvise something that you did not expect, like moving an antenna where you may need a new or longer cable, or needing to adapt a piece of equipment to an antenna with different connector types.
Great point, yes I always have at least a couple on hand in a bag with other RF connectors. I realize I omitted that from my bag during this video. Would definitely recommend bringing those
That bag has got to be all hype. I guarantee it is not "EMP" proof. At best it'll stop SOME weak EMR... but nowhere close to all three phases of a real EMP. Other than that great kit, thanks for sharing. This is very similar to kits I work with to do "stuff".
Would be worth testing, but I think you make some bold “guarantees” considering that there is a lot of speculation about EMPs and not a lot of concrete information out there. The threat itself is overhyped IMO. I’m more interested in the bag for anti-surveillance/privacy reasons. Would be worth testing/validating the faraday claims of the bag! Thanks for your comment
Testing faraday bags is next. A cam, scoping the s meter of a recieving radio, in the bag, with a transmitter outside of the bag, with set rf watt ranges to choose from. Emp events strong enough to hurt a radio are rare, and require a massive groundplane, conduit, pumbing, ect to absorb enough of one to get it to spark jump to b+ voltage circuits or overcharge electrolytic capacitors to cause a damaging secondairy event to destroy whatever transistors, ic chips they were "biasing" or nuxlear event. The real threat is accidentally using a "faraday bag" as luggage at the airport or border, makes for a long day, or more.

Bro, I’m in the same boat mine is 7 weeks.
The signs of a true professional. Great content.
I would have a 9in1 screwdriver instead of a regular screwdriver. Takes the same amount of space but offers so much more. Great stuff
Great point

Thanks for those links. Great info for COMU's and COMT'S.
That's way overkill for most ppl, but I'm glad some guys are preparing like this. Every large group will need a guy like this for any long term plan.
So far I’d add a cat 5 crimper, and your screwdriver should be one of those with a bunch of small bits like “torx just in case”

Solid stuff, thanks for sharing this
Very well thought out many thanks.
Lots of intersting stuff, would like to see this kind of things on the other side of atlantic :)
Awesome video! Ever consider having your own Amazon store front?
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Solid info on this channel
no banana binding post bnc adapter?

I use that same meter every day for work.
what radios were those? i couldnt make out the name of the bran on the front.
Most likely a hytera PD682i UHF version
Yep ^ nailed it
Y’all are amazing thanks ❤️
Which tough book is that?
CF20!
Great size to carry
And it turns into a tablet. I found one on FB marketplace barely used for less than $400. Semper Fi!
Wow

Maybe... maybe not. There's enough "confidence" to have a mil std on it soooo... ill stick with my bold guarantees given my experience in the field.
Fair enough I’ll let you know how the bag does when the EMP makes landfall

Total waste of time. This guy is nothing more than a cable guy. His presence is nothing more than an insult to the United States Marine Corp RTO's.
😂😂😂
You got a problem with cable guys? What would COL Frank Toney say!? (smh)
sir, you're a sad ham
Here, sir, you dropped your nose 🔴
