I've owned this rig when they first hit the Market and is stowed in one of my truck's floor storage compartment...this is a must for anyone who's "preparing for the worst and hoping for the best".
Glad to see a fellow Airman throwing his hat in the ring for this genre of video. Well done. I just got my Classic version in elk red this week and I love it. Plan to use it while cycling. Keep up the good work. Aim high.
I have a very similar rig. I love Hill People gear. Old adage: If it is worth carrying it should be attached to you. No matter what happens you will have the basics to survive.
Cool chest rig! I made one for running 5 years ago (I run 3 miles every other day on trails in a 1000 acre Wilderness Area behind my home) there are Panthers and Bears on the trails I run..I'm lucky, I have only been attacked by a Whitetail Buck and a few Turkeys!!
I was attacked by a buck one time damn thing almost got airated wouldn't stop coming at me, finally after like 10 minutes going around tree's with it then left.
Good morning. Somebody got up early to post another great video. Thanks for your continued excellence. Nice selection of products. Well balanced. You didn’t try try to bring the entire kitchen sink. Hope the young family is doing well. Thanks for providing such good, reliable productions. Good to see you again. Hope you don’t have to go to DC. Stay home where it is safe. Nice job today. Well done. Be safe!
They make those drink mixes with caffeine in them. Same thing just the added bonus of caffine. Sharpens your focus, can help wake you up, can help those with caffine withdraw, or can help you with a migraine when combined with a basic NSAIDS or Tylenol.
very useful little kit it looks like, your video led me to their site and I will likely be purchasing some of their packs. They 100% should hook you up with a sponsorship. I've never heard of them until this video.
Maybe. I like being non biased. I fear a sponsorship could make people assume I'm a shill for that company. If it happened ill let my Patreons and subscribers decide whats best for the channel and if we pursue this opportunity.
Man our setups are identical almost. I run their hook and loop organizer in the front pouch, and in between I run a Zulu nylon gear map pouch. Use to run that tactigami pouch too but switched to a vanquest one to save some space.
Hey man! I know by now it probably doesn’t bother you, but if that gap created by the g20 mag does bother you look on glockstore for those little grip fillers! I would definitely recommend them. Plus you’d get a little more handle on your gun anyway!!
Originally had a kydex holster but it was too bulky and weighted too much. The Vertex holster isn't flimsy and covers the trigger Gaurd very well allowing extended carry with a round chambered.
What about A Ifak ? And you could put a piece off bullet proof panel for a backpack in where the gun goes for some protection since it sits on your chest if there’s room
I carry a small trauma kit apart of my EDC so I have that covered. th-cam.com/video/szpH66onr8I/w-d-xo.html But I would imagine you could get a half sheet of soft armor if you wanted it would probably work.
Yes, I think mine is 12$ a month for the package I have. My recommendation is just purchased the cheapest package and If you ever actually use it in a no joke real situation who cares if it cost you 100$ for 50 texts in the moment. Whats your life worth?
I've been looking at using one of these with and without a plate carrier. My plate carrier uses placard with a clip and/or velcro. Do you think this could attach to a plate carrier placard style? Great video. Good review, perfect audio.
I would say out of the box no it won't attach to a plate carrier. Maybe with some modifications it could. But I would say their are better options for that specific need on the market.
Great video. Thanks. Do you have an aftermarket barrel in your G29? If not I would use “penetrators” instead of the hard cast. I don’t think the polygonal Glock rifling is designed for cast ammo? I bought an aftermarket barrel for my G20, but jacketed penetrators work well. I’d try underwood ammo or Buffalo Bore to find the best penetration for my needs.
Yeah I don't have an upgraded barrel and they highly recommend not to shoot cast bullets but all in all thousands of people have with no issues. Granted I don't plink around with those rounds and it's a just in case load so if it happens it happens lol
Building a similar kit myself and wanted to ask what kind of holster this is? Keep up the professional work! Love the videos. Best regards from Switzerland
I own the mini recon chest pouch for the urban jungle where I live...my morning walks wouldn't be the same without it. Great Products from an awesome U.S. family owned company.
I ran the Original chest rig for a few years and went to the heavy rig for more room. It all depends on what your going to put in it and what's your frame size. I'm 5'11" 145lbs and the heavy fits me fine.
Solar flare (Carrington event), man made EMP or electromagnetic storm. Electronics are very sensitive to these things. You don't need to do this i just do for extra protection because this kit is apart of my bug out bag and get home bag.
Hi! Nice kit! So you think, that 10mm. will save you against bears? I saw a pictures of Alaska's fisherman, that use huge revolvers against bears. But maybe against people will be good)
10mm is actually really popular for bear protection here in alaska is ther bigger better options yes but a 10mm will drop a bear with the right loads and shot placement
I am interested in this set up but have a question. Can you somehow run ar mags on or in it? Could it be turned into some sort of full on tactical chest rig if the need arises?
Great video thanks! If you want you could add a combat gauze, swat t and a rats t gen 2 I use the swat t for compression on the gauze that's my combo for a ifak👍✌
Surprised you didn't have an emergency space blanket in there, unless its in the survival kit? You do know they make grip extenders for your mags ?, An I thought you were rock in a G20, switched it up did ya, thx for the vid bro.
I don't own one but I imagine you could make it work. HPG also make a harness attachment for all of there kit bags so you can add storage in the back like water. www.hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1/ProductID/60
Thank you for he quick reply brother that earned a sub. I plan on getting one for running but I carry a full size gun, it will also aid me in hunting and hiking though so I think I will like he size of this. Do you think it will be overbearing to run with?
It will be just fine for short runs. I've actually moved to a better kit bag recently. Take a look at the Fulltang tactical kit bag. This is more modular in my opinion. fulltangtactical.com/collections/chest-rigs-accessories/products/modular-chest-rig-kit-bag
This is always loaded out to be in my Bug out Bag with me as a worst case seneiro. If I actually go hiking I will take out 2 mags for weight. And yes Active duty 10 years still serving.
@@PreparedAirman Well, that's fine but on a day or overnight that's fine but can get you in trouble in some areas. And if you got the bug as we called it some 40 years ago you need more time in the woods. Was on a hike where a guy had a full load 280 plus 60 to walk Florida trail.
How tall are you for a reference of size? I want the capacity of the full-size kit but wonder if it will be too big with a pack on also. I’m 5’5” 145lbs give or take.
I'm 5'10" 140lbs. I have the original Recon kit bag then later upgraded to the heavy kit bag. I don't plan on going back. The heavy kit bag is 11.5 inches wide across the chest.
I totally agree on that statement! I'm going to to my next video on my chestpak! Thanks for sharing this bruv! Hope you check mine when I do it...that bag for the electronics where did you get that? Anywho cheers, Jerbs.
@PreparedAirman thank you! Also super based of you to reply to a comment on a 2 year old video! I want one of these for when I travel through our local state parks. When I'm super remote I've traditionally just rocked a Safariland on a mid ride.
I do my best to read all the comments. I would also recommend looking into the FullTang Tactical Kit bag. It has replaced my Hillpeoplegear rigs. fulltangtactical.com/collections/chest-rigs-accessories/products/modular-chest-rig-kit-bag
You could have demonstrated this clip in half the time. The more natural you are the more people like the videos. I write this with the best intentions not negatively.
So, you carry an “EMP-proof” bag full of electronics in case an EMP knocks out the grid… but none of the electronics in the bag work without the grid… even satellite communications need a ground-based network to function… 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
More then likely satellites will still work for a few months after an event. They are already designed to be EMP hardened because they are already in space with no atmosphere/magnetics to protect them.
FYI Everything here was bought with my own money. I have never been in contact or contacted by Hill people gear. I just enjoy their products.
I'm the same...as much as it would be nice to have freebies...all on my dime!
That's a great set-up. I would REALLY like to see you carrying a TQ along with that beautiful gun
I've owned this rig when they first hit the Market and is stowed in one of my truck's floor storage compartment...this is a must for anyone who's "preparing for the worst and hoping for the best".
Glad to see a fellow Airman throwing his hat in the ring for this genre of video. Well done.
I just got my Classic version in elk red this week and I love it. Plan to use it while cycling.
Keep up the good work. Aim high.
Came across your channel abt a week ago, and like the straightforwardness of your videos
I have a very similar rig. I love Hill People gear. Old adage: If it is worth carrying it should be attached to you. No matter what happens you will have the basics to survive.
Any thing from hill people gear is top notch and worth owning.
Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
Huge fan of your vids. Thanks again for sharing. Ended up buying a HPG chest rig based on your experience. Loving it.
Just got a runner's kit bag and love it. Just big enough for essentials but still slim and generally low vis/concealable.
Cool chest rig! I made one for running 5 years ago (I run 3 miles every other day on trails in a 1000 acre Wilderness Area behind my home) there are Panthers and Bears on the trails I run..I'm lucky, I have only been attacked by a Whitetail Buck and a few Turkeys!!

Quick question
What bag do you have for your two GPS devices? Txs
I use this one- disasterpreparer.com/product/anti-tracking-emf-blocking-pouch/
iv had the og kitbag for ever, and love it. for along time i had it docked with the tara. super versatile piece of kit
I run the Recon Hill People Kit bag. It is a bit smaller..I love mine!
They make those drink mixes with caffeine in them. Same thing just the added bonus of caffine. Sharpens your focus, can help wake you up, can help those with caffine withdraw, or can help you with a migraine when combined with a basic NSAIDS or Tylenol.
I like it. I'll add some.
Good video but there is a good chance the GPS satellite .ay be down or turned off
If so you can just pitch the device to save weight.
very useful little kit it looks like, your video led me to their site and I will likely be purchasing some of their packs. They 100% should hook you up with a sponsorship. I've never heard of them until this video.
Maybe. I like being non biased. I fear a sponsorship could make people assume I'm a shill for that company. If it happened ill let my Patreons and subscribers decide whats best for the channel and if we pursue this opportunity.
Great overview!
Man our setups are identical almost. I run their hook and loop organizer in the front pouch, and in between I run a Zulu nylon gear map pouch. Use to run that tactigami pouch too but switched to a vanquest one to save some space.
Great kit. enjoyed the video.
i have the original kit bag with 3 pockets very good for concealed carry & the price is good for what you get!!
Very good setup I like it.
Hey man! I know by now it probably doesn’t bother you, but if that gap created by the g20 mag does bother you look on glockstore for those little grip fillers! I would definitely recommend them. Plus you’d get a little more handle on your gun anyway!!
I’d also probably swap the holster to a Velcro backed kydex for better weapon retention if you carry with one in the pipe
Originally had a kydex holster but it was too bulky and weighted too much. The Vertex holster isn't flimsy and covers the trigger Gaurd very well allowing extended carry with a round chambered.
Good video! Thanks.
Great videos!!
What about A Ifak ? And you could put a piece off bullet proof panel for a backpack in where the gun goes for some protection since it sits on your chest if there’s room

But I would imagine you could get a half sheet of soft armor if you wanted it would probably work.
Great video. Where did you get you watch band? Thank you!!!
Nice set up. I think that drink mix is sugar free. Also i would keep a spare phone in the faraday bag. Jmho
3:58 actually the lithium counterpart was 14500.
Does the Garmen Reach Mini text device require any subscription service?
Yes, I think mine is 12$ a month for the package I have.
My recommendation is just purchased the cheapest package and If you ever actually use it in a no joke real situation who cares if it cost you 100$ for 50 texts in the moment. Whats your life worth?
The one thing I never notice is a small pair of hemostats which can be very useful
I've been looking at using one of these with and without a plate carrier. My plate carrier uses placard with a clip and/or velcro. Do you think this could attach to a plate carrier placard style? Great video. Good review, perfect audio.
I would say out of the box no it won't attach to a plate carrier. Maybe with some modifications it could. But I would say their are better options for that specific need on the market.
lol, I have the same multitool in my HPG rig. Great vid, new sub.
I like the idea minimalistic, where's 1st aid
Its already apart of my EDC
Great video. Thanks. Do you have an aftermarket barrel in your G29? If not I would use “penetrators” instead of the hard cast. I don’t think the polygonal Glock rifling is designed for cast ammo?

Like those locsacks
I like it !
Building a similar kit myself and wanted to ask what kind of holster this is? Keep up the professional work! Love the videos. Best regards from Switzerland
I use the Vertex Tactigami holster. Works well to hold the pistol in place and attaches to the velcro backing on the HPG rig. amzn.to/3yq4FkA
I own the mini recon chest pouch for the urban jungle where I live...my morning walks wouldn't be the same without it. Great Products from an awesome U.S. family owned company.
Nice kit but you need some medical items for bleeding control.
My EDC covers down for that. New video will be released soon on that very topic.
Would you recommend this chest gear bag for hiking or one of Hill People's more compact chest rigs?
I ran the Original chest rig for a few years and went to the heavy rig for more room. It all depends on what your going to put in it and what's your frame size. I'm 5'11" 145lbs and the heavy fits me fine.
What is the purpose of keeping your GPS in a Faraday bag?
Solar flare (Carrington event), man made EMP or electromagnetic storm. Electronics are very sensitive to these things. You don't need to do this i just do for extra protection because this kit is apart of my bug out bag and get home bag.
@@PreparedAirman nice, I guess it's been 150 years since the Carrington , so we must be due any day now 😳
Nice
Hi!
Nice kit! So you think, that 10mm. will save you against bears? I saw a pictures of Alaska's fisherman, that use huge revolvers against bears. But maybe against people will be good)
Well I would say its better then 9mm lol😋
10mm is actually really popular for bear protection here in alaska is ther bigger better options yes but a 10mm will drop a bear with the right loads and shot placement
I am interested in this set up but have a question. Can you somehow run ar mags on or in it? Could it be turned into some sort of full on tactical chest rig if the need arises?
Yes absolutely the laser cut molle in the front allows this. I have a flat 3 Magazine pouch set aside in my vehicle for this very purpose.
@@PreparedAirman Awsome thanks
Great video thanks! If you want you could add a combat gauze, swat t and a rats t gen 2 I use the swat t for compression on the gauze that's my combo for a ifak👍✌
Agreed! I always carry a small ifak with me. Its apart of my EDC. th-cam.com/video/szpH66onr8I/w-d-xo.html
Vertx tactigami holster
I use one in my Hill People Gear rig. Works great.
Surprised you didn't have an emergency space blanket in there, unless its in the survival kit? You do know they make grip extenders for your mags ?, An I thought you were rock in a G20, switched it up did ya, thx for the vid bro.
I got the g29 and Swapped the g20 to another kit. Trying to cut down on weight.
Punching up the algorithm.
👍
Any chance of you rigging a condor water bladder pack to that chest rig?
I don't own one but I imagine you could make it work. HPG also make a harness attachment for all of there kit bags so you can add storage in the back like water. www.hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1/ProductID/60
Is this in addition to your edc?
I guess it would be an addition to my EDC for the back country 😁
What size is this
This is the Recon kit bag Heavy.
Thank you for he quick reply brother that earned a sub. I plan on getting one for running but I carry a full size gun, it will also aid me in hunting and hiking though so I think I will like he size of this. Do you think it will be overbearing to run with?

fulltangtactical.com/collections/chest-rigs-accessories/products/modular-chest-rig-kit-bag
What brand/model is the faraday bag?
Here is the link- disasterpreparer.com/product/anti-tracking-emf-blocking-pouch/
Definitely should change out your gun sleeve for something made of a more rigid material. The only safe holster option for glocks is kydex.
Originally I had a kydex holster but due to weight and bulk I removed it. The vertx holster is fairly rigid and is designed for this type of use.
I found a kydex trigger guard "holster" made for a WML on ebay. It works pretty well! Highly recommended for this purpose.
4 mags? What division?
Im not tracking on what your asking.
@@PreparedAirman You are caring 4 mags to go for a walk, that is a combat load for side arm. Either trained in military or bad shot.
This is always loaded out to be in my Bug out Bag with me as a worst case seneiro. If I actually go hiking I will take out 2 mags for weight.
And yes Active duty 10 years still serving.
@@PreparedAirman Well, that's fine but on a day or overnight that's fine but can get you in trouble in some areas. And if you got the bug as we called it some 40 years ago you need more time in the woods. Was on a hike where a guy had a full load 280 plus 60 to walk Florida trail.
Each situation is different for everyone. It's hard to outline where and what you can or can't do.
How tall are you for a reference of size? I want the capacity of the full-size kit but wonder if it will be too big with a pack on also. I’m 5’5” 145lbs give or take.

disasterpreparer.com/product/anti-tracking-emf-blocking-pouch/
@@PreparedAirman fantastic bruv thanks a bunch! I'm gonna order one for my bday! Cheers, Jerbs.
You think this rig would accomidate a Glock 19 with a TLR 1 HL and a red dot sigut (507c)?
No bear where I travel, but tweakers abound.
Yes absolutely. My FNX 45 tactical with RMR and TLR1 fits lol
@PreparedAirman thank you! Also super based of you to reply to a comment on a 2 year old video!

@@PreparedAirman thanks!
No medical and no water? Seems risky
Medical is apart of my EDC and water is in a supplementary pack that changes based on what I'm doing, Hiking, fishing caving, off roading etc.
Why not carry a Glock 20 for better ballistic performance
Had one for a long time. But mainly it's weight and length.
You could have demonstrated this clip in half the time. The more natural you are the more people like the videos. I write this with the best intentions not negatively.
Probably, I'm long winded and still figuring things out haha
nice👍
toilet paper? whistle?
Whistle is in the small survival kit. But I will add a small but of TP now that you bring it up!
@@PreparedAirman I like it because it can be used as tinder and a quick temporary marker. great work keep them coming
Swap out those drink mixes for electrolyte powder
Too big for me, im using a smaller one, the Badlands Bino Case C
Good luck finding 10mm in a survival situation got a better chance of finding 9mm or 40
10mm is used for the current with rule of law events. I have a glock 19 always with my GHB to transfer too incase of WROL for ammo availability.
Keep getting shot by this dude in tarkov 🤣🤣
Terrible. Better than nothing
