“You don’t want this H-gear. It’s old, heavy, and ancient.” *Eyes my ALICE gear issued from my USMC time in late-80’s* *Also realizes that I can use the Over-55 menu at Denny’s* *Sighs*
This channel has really surprised and intrigued me. You can tell he's a genuine guy. I'll be tuning in for more knowledge brother. Keep that kerrygoldbutter on ready. We eating the same damn breakfast man.
I run a Crye SPC with pistol plates. Chest rigs have zero protection and rifle plates are too heavy for me in order to be fast and mobile. I have another carrier with heavy rifle plates but that would be something for sitting in place, not to be mobile with. I think my setup is something most people overlook and I can't understand why because it is light like a chest rig, comfortable, and offers some ballistic protection. Also: Make sure when you load out your gun belt and carrier you are able to sit in a vehicle, sit in a chair, bend over, etc. I thought I had my stuff dialed in until I couldn't bend over because my pistol pouches were digging into the front of my leg. I finally have my kit srtup so I can bend over, sit in a vehicle, and also carry a pack comfortably when also wearing my belt and carrier setups.
14:28 I'm glad you were able to save this video at the end. I was concerned when you were talking about crap like weight and functionality but you eventually got around to what matters.
i detected sarcasm at the end, it was funny to hear, my own plate carrier has every inch of real estate being used, between mag pouches, radio pouches, fak, utility pouches, ontario usmc bayonet / combat knife, multi tool, back up folding recon1, light pouch, horizontal holster on chest, h20 bladder carrier pack, short machete, short tomahawk, plus i have a molle battle belt attatched to the bottom of vest loaded with rifle / pistol mag pouches ,dump pouches, saw pouches, carabiners for hanging more stuff, i don't plan on running very far or fast
Good info. I'm a 65yr old vet with a die in place mentality, a chest rig ,dump pouch, and lots of ammo at each window. Ghille and precision rifle for outside work and the knowledge that when I die I will meet Jesus. Love your channel
@@RoughHouse71 In the military when dug into a heavy defensive position it meant defending to the last man. I didn't like it much then but I'm okay with it now.
PS: you’re right about the H-harness. But it’s all that was issued back in the day. You made it work for you. Same as as you’re M16. No furniture added; just bare bones equipment! No scopes, lights, lasers…. SEMPER FIDELIS!
I usually just carry two mashine guns and I wrap the amo around my body, o ja and boxer shorts and boots. I was getting in trouble one time for me forgetting the shorts .
Thanks for all the great info. I am a civilian and have never been in the military, but with disturbing events and the lack of guarantee of police protection, I am concerned. OK, I'm a little more than concerned. This was very helpful, on a very confusing subject, for me. Again thanks, and thank you and all your fellow veterans for their service to the American people Sincerely and Respecfully
Chad Sir thank you - I have just started watching your videos - I have been in law enforcement for 30 yrs. My father was special forces and I have much respect for what you have accomplished. I would really like to come to your training to learn more - again thank you
You do a great job, sir. I would be interested in a video just like this with coms. Helmet attached and over the head. And then a helmet video would be a great follow up. America needs these pro tips now more than ever. The prepared survive and the rest become statistics as grandpa instilled into me.
Thanks, I appreciate your advice and will consider my options as a Civilian Patriot. Hey things look pretty rocky in the world and in America. The more people who are prepping and can handle their load safe & smart the better we all are.
In my 31 year Career (14 years Marine Corps, 17 years Air Force) Military Police and Security Forces/CATM/Raven, I went from PASGT Flak Alice 782/Deuce Gear to Interceptor and MOLLE, to Eagle IOTV kit. Weight seemed to have dropped in half.
@@bigchief4044I think you meant to say “Thank your for your service. I appreciate the input from someone who has some hands on experience that goes beyond that of a keyboard warrior”……. at least that’s what I think you meant to say.
When I can afford it I want to put my wife through you course because she’s a teacher and want her to be able to at least be able to defend herself. Even for just everyday life. She is finally coming around and agreeing she needs to at least learn the basics
Interesting presentation on the Tacgear. I was active duty Navy 2003-2009 and did a couple of tours in Security and we were issued the old school Eagle Tactical Vest with magazine pouches and emergency flotation and extraction and repelling harness added to the vest by Parachute riggers since we were a Harbor Security unit with both Helos and Boats. We had allot of fun flying down the water in the 30ft boats during 4-6 foot seas at 30-45mphs. I see where you are coming from with the newer stuff being lighter and easier to be worn but the older stuff was made of 1000 Cordura Nylon which is a bomb proof material that can take allot of abuse where much of the newer stuff today cannot withstand the same type of operational tempo. I still have good friends on active duty that are OICs, SCPOs, MCPOs and even a OPS officer. When the conversation comes to gear as it normally does since we are all into it the word that I keep hearing is that allot of the Super Light Stuff will not last a deployment and many of their guys have had to go back to stuff from Eagle or London Bridge made from proven materials. Salt Water and Salt Air will start to destroy materials fairly quickly so the life Span of a Plate Carrie or Chest Rig made from One of the Super Light Materials is less than that of a 1000 or 500 Cordura Nylon which can take more abuse. The Eagle H-Harness that you used during your time in Active duty was Originally Issued back in 1999 and it was developed by London Bridge Trading company but Eagle Industries took the design and Improved it to make it more user friendly and able to carry more gear. The H-Harness does go back the Korea War Era but it was made of Canvas back then not 1000 denier Dupont Cordura. Just because something has been used for a while it does not mean that it is obsolete! You showed your Eagle H-Harness as you had it when you were in the Teams I only counted one 200 round SAW Pouch right hand side and it looks like the one on the left was your IFAK but you did not have the small back attached to the back panel on your upper back and nothing on your sides or back part of the rig which normally the SAW Gunner is carrying anywhere between 1400 to 2000 rounds of ammo plus the other members of the Squad have 100rd belts in their kit as extra incase of a prolonged firefight did you just take off the other pouches?
I'm not high speed, but when I worked as a security contractor I rocked a chicom chest rig and with ceramic plates and plate carrier it's my favorite kit today in my early 40's
Back in my day, my kit was a heavy OD green fragmentation vest, and LCE ,consisting of spagehtti straps, 4/ 30 rd. ammo pouches, a first aid pressure bandage pouch with a buttpack, and canteen pouch attached to a pistol belt. later on in time of service, I became a kevelar fragmentation vest, and a kevelar helmet that replaced the old heavy fragmentation vest, and steel pot.
I was a cav scout for 12 years. I'm real fond of my shellback rampage. It's my preferred for area recon, I run the condor cyclone with the skeletonized cummerbund for zone recon. It's light and cool but durable. I still run the old ciras vest for route recon. Maximum coverage and the classics never die. METT-TC dictates set up. Last but not least I keep a spartan armor DL with AR500 plates for weight vest workouts in my truck. Great training and there in case of active shooter. And yes it goes without saying. Look cool. Scouts out!
Great video. Being a 11b infantry dude. I ran a slick Improved outer tactical vest (IOTV) 06-07 and 07-09 Iraq. I had one chest rig I could run over my vest on patrols and room clearing stuff. And when I was on the 50, 240B or mk19 in the trucks. I’d put my kit in the turret to my left and my m4 to my right. It worked great. Lighter while in the turret all day and had access to my kit. We ran that as an SOP mostly because as a gunner. We NEVER left the turret unless we where relieved. Of course unless the wires from the mud hut villages where hanging us up. Then, to the hood I went. Lol. Overall it just worked. I tried the whole putting all my crap on my body armor. It was terrible lol 😂. Just some sharing of my experiences while deployed. Keep up the good work with the content. I enjoy the knowledge you share.
GREAT MORNING TO YOU! LMAO! Gotta love the fact that you said the main thing is to look cool! OUTSTANDING! Because IMAGE IS EVERYTHING!! SEMPER FIDELIS!!
I was not military, I tried when I was 18, but back in '81 there was no real conflicts going on so our military could be more particular of whom they were allowing to join. I do have the Utmost RESPECT for all who Have, Are, and Will Serve this Great Nation. I would not want to live in any other country on planet Earth. Thank You For Your Service.
Love your stuff, I just upgraded from steel plates to UHMWPE so I can lighten the load and look cool as I walk from the couch to the fridge....Semper Fi.
The old gear still works fine, got the same piled here era stuff ,watched your holster vid,ended up with a replica holster patent 1912 for the 45 and just love it for range work
I remember in the mid-late 90s finding stuff at surplus stores thinking how badass it was. "High speed as fuk! 🤘🤙". Lmao. Hearing you say "old old technology back in 09-10." 20 years at war in that crazy ass terrain has really honed gear. Necessity is the mother of invention. Another great video brother! I love hearing the way you approach pieces of the kit.
Chadd, I have been looking forward to this video coming out for so long dude. So well done, one of my favourites. The explanation of how the 'H' Harness and Chest Rig were combined with the plate carrier was very cool. In addition to this, it would be sweet to include a more detailed breakdown of the rigs you rocked in the SEAL Teams, including the use of any specialist pouches and hydration. Am also looking forward to seeing your take on camouflage & concealment, brother. Keep up the excellent work 3 of 7.
I am planning on getting a chest rid soon. I have a plate carrier that holds 3 m4 mags my tourniquet a multi tool aka Leatherman. And I keep a good sharp pocket knife in the pocket. I carry my fixed blade on the shoulder strap for ease of use with either hand and extremely quick to deploy
For shtf get the plate carrier and train put at least 6 mags on it and train with it and also train with it wearing your pack shit does happen it won’t be a while till it is somewhat stable to wear you can do recons and stuff me personally I’d rather be prepared then not so I’m strictly plate carrier
This is a perfectly valid way of looking at gear, but you definitely should do more than add extra stitching at stress points. Mesh padding, building out the shoulder straps, scaling it, etc. Gear is obvs majorly mission dependent, but you definitely want to really build it out with Rockywoods, a sewing machine, and a bottle of JD.
I use a micro v3 chest rig and for my kit I use the crye jpc 2.0 in coyote brown with the crye 1 front mag flap and a blue force gear 3mag pouch in front of it
Nice gear pack old issue pants shirts shoes and h pack .3 mag pouch for machine gun.london bridge is great but it can rip in places.4 m4 rounds pack alic pack full rounds for 45 caliber.m16 semi automatic dump shells in pack easy carrying
As civilians we need more than 6 + 1 mags as we don't have supply drops, and if the kit works for you that's all you need until you can get lighter kit but use what you have to say in the fight. Belt kit is easier on the back for the old and outdated.
i would strongly recommend the lv119 made by spritus systems. the modularity and integrated features are endless. it is bar none the best plate carrier i have ever used or owned. i think you would like it.
@@MrZachgonz most everything in almost every color is in stock most of the time. i just checked and you can huilt out a fully loaded lv119 in like 5 colors. add most of the accessories.

Looking cool is everything, when I was an active duty Cav Scout looking cool was everything. We worked hard at cool.
782 gear for the fail. You put the magazine pouches and canteens where they tell you too and they become wheel chalks when you hit the deck
Matbock makes some of the sweetest gear on earth! They even make a dip pouch just to carry your Copenhagen on your plate carrier!

Awesome vid Chadd! Keep rolling out these reviews and information! Lovin it.
Is there a link for these items? Good content 👌🏼
That H gear setup you showed first has MOLLE. That wasn’t introduced until the 1990’s so it didn’t see service in Viet Nam. That was ALICE gear.
If you buy a cheaper chest rig they can work, but add more stitching at stress points (strap connections) or carabineers
This is a perfectly valid way of looking at gear, but you definitely should do more than add extra stitching at stress points. Mesh padding, building out the shoulder straps, scaling it, etc. Gear is obvs majorly mission dependent, but you definitely want to really build it out with Rockywoods, a sewing machine, and a bottle of JD.
