What Is In My Admin Pouch?

- Whether it's tactical accessories, support equipment for your weapon, or sustainment gear for yourself, there's a lot of bits of kit that are crucial, whether that's for a casual day at the range, or something to scratch LARP itch incurred by countless hours CoD brainrot. In this video, I detail some of my support gear and go into their use case. This is by no means a definitive list for everyone, as everyone's needs are unique to themselves, but hopefully this serves as food for thought in order to evaluate your own kit further.

Nitrile gloves are great, but my recommendation is to dump the tactical black for some standard medical blue, or white. The color of bodily fluids is important to notice and they all kinda look alike on black gloves, you can use the brighter color as impromptu hi-vis for signaling, and you can menace space cowboys two-by-two.
For sure, I do keep blue gloves in my IFAK for this reason, I just have ran out and been running black ones for other purposes for now.
Good kit! One small improvement would be to swap out one of the black electrical tape rolls for red or white, so that you can write on it with the sharpie for labeling.
Oh yes, that's why I carry some green tape!
@@TacticoolGirlfriend consider a silver sharpie as well in case you run out of colorful tape or need to mark something dark colored that you can't tape up :)
I either wrap each battery separately in plastic wrap or take a latex glove, cut the fingers off, insert one battery in the finger and tie it off. It keeps the batteries from getting wet, rubbing against one another, and helps prevent any additional damage should one start to corrode.
Thanks for the hack, Jack.
For spare batteries I picked up a small eva case (5"x3"). It's a little bulky but it has stopped me worrying about shorting batteries with them rolling around loose and really helps keep the coin cells together. Have you considered adding a usb power bank to your bag? More things are moving to rechargeable batteries so it's handy to have.
I also have some cable ties, a few yards of paracord and a poncho that live in my outdoors bag. I'll always dress for the weather but being able to throw up a shelter with the poncho and ties is always handy.
Yes, a battery bank is always a good idea to have. I keep one in my car as well as bugout bag for this purpose, I'll toss it in the pack when I get to my destination if I'm going the distance.
As soon as the cat ran across the floor my attention left the admin pouch and I NEED a 15 minute video on the kitty now! Also for battery storage I run two Thyrm Cell Vault XL battery storage cases. In one case I can fit 6 CR123 batteries and the other can run either 8 AAA batteries or 4 AA batteries but I split the two and 4 AAA and 2 AA
Your kitty is trying to tell you that they need their own YT channel. Tacticool kitty-cat. Or just Tacticat. You can use those. Glad I can support the channel. .

Tacticat!

On the Baofeng, you might also want to get the battery case that allows you to use standard AAA batteries as an extra backup. I have one of those and have 2 sets of rechargeables specifically for that case, plus a fold up solar charging panel that puts out 2.3 amps at 12 v to charge my batteries and a small charger that works on AC (through wall wart) or 12v DC (cig plug).
On your tape, get about a 4-6 inch long piece of 1/4 fiberglass pole (driveway markers) and wrap duct tape, electrical tape and friction tape around it. It takes up much less room, plus I have other types of tape available.
I would add a second pair of good wool boot socks, but that's about it.
Thanks for sharing. Love seeing what other people carry in their kit.
Lots of good tips. I haven't heard the spare bcg recommendation in years, tbh I used to carry a spare gun so I don't have to worry with headspace. Though, I don't have a ton of land to roam on so it's not hard to haul two guns
Its more of a spare item for a small unit. 2IC in each section carried one. One guys rifle craps out, easy fix. Two crap out, not a hig deal, he can trade off and run a 40mm and sidearm.
I love your sensibilities. Always so spot on!
"Choose your own adventure." You're like the perfect human being!
I always learn something new from you and I love it. The whistle for sure is something I never thought about and all these years I've been shouting to signal people like a goon. LOL
Skeletool is awesome. My favorite is the Wave+. Squirt PS4 is a really good affordable super small multitool also that has great tools.
100%, I carry my Squirt in my purse every day.
good info, simple and to the point. Resembles my kit for the military. Solid
Check out Thyrm and Storacell for your battery storage. If Thyrm made a AA insert for the Cell Vault, it'd be perfect. They're supposedly "working on it", but we'll see!
I like the color of your nail polish 😍 Anyway how do you clean your eotech or other optics lens? Do you use just dry cloth or some cleaning fluid? I just got about 650 rounds on my first ar and my eo needs some cleaning..🤔
Honestly, I generally just wipe it down with a damp cloth if it needs it, fog it with my breath, and then wipe it with a dry lens cloth after.
Love your videos, just now discovering them. Your cats hilarious ❤
I'm working on getting redundant battery charging set up for my carrier and battle belt currently since carrying around a ton of disposable batteries blows, and I'm trying to standardize my batteries as much as possible to reduce load and volume, and something I think everyone in a modern shooting environment needs are rechargeable batteries that don't require a dock to charge. A bunch of companies make cells with usb charging ports. Between those, a solid low profile high capacity charger bank, and one set of disposables for redundancy, you'll probably never be left without power again as long as you're good on your kit maintenance which now includes charging a ton of batteries when you get home from the range
Hey TCG, great video and production values, keep up the good work, I enjoy the pacing as well.
I know backpack/bugout bag items can be endless but being in the PNW, having a small packable poncho can be handy in the event your rain gear rips or use it to a small shelter starter.
Also, you could consider using Ziploc on batteries so they don't get wet.
Hey I just found out about you from the Gundies and I gave you a vote! Watching your videos and also, you look awesome af!
Agree that everyone has their own needs and copying directly isn't ideal, also found several items you have that I don't and have to amend, like the electrical tape, that little Spud's lense cloth, and the paint can opener for extracting stuck cases.
One that I add is if you keep your headlamp in your admin Pouch on your chest rig/placard/etc, I've often had the issue of pressure activating the lamp. During the day it's a problem of killing the battery, at night (if you're in a situation where you don't want to be seen) it becomes a safety issue where your admin Pouch is glowing like a beacon. To solve this I went on Amazon and found a hard pill case, shaped like an old film roll tube. I like the Streamlight Bandits, and it fits perfectly and is protected from accidental activation. Other headlamp models are larger than my Bandit but I'm sure there are many similar items on Amazon that are cheap and accomplish the same task.
You might also consider carrying some 550 cord with you. I know you have some on your bracelet. But there are several things you can use it for. Polyken 231 mil spec duct tape is good, too. Also, a few thick and beefy tie wraps. I can't afford night vision. But if you have some IR chem lightsticks or regular glow sticks, they may be something to consider, too.
Nice to see a new video. Love goes out
For battery storage, I really like Thyrm CellVaults. They keep things organized, dry, and where I need them on my gear.
Duracell batteries are more expensive, but less likely to leak.
Great video and awesome nail polish!
Love having a Spuds- stays with my hunring stuff all the time. Being soaked in the rain and trying to keep optics clean- the struggle is real.
skeletool is so good. paired with a victorinox cadet nutnfancy was right.
extraction tool is CLUTCH. i need to add that to my stuff. i always forget it.
headlamps are so handy. princetontec makes great ones. i remember getting one for 20 bucks but it did red, green, and white light. gave one to my mechanic cousin and he used the hell out of it. ive got 2 wowtacs now but theyre not available anymore. just get a headlamp. you wont regret it.
your battery game is so strong plus the boo boo kit. those will be highly used.
Wet wipes for your sanity if you're in the woods for a long time
I both hooted and hollered when the headlamp showed up.
The NUUM tablets that you carry are an excellent choice. The legendary instructor, Pat Rogers (R.I.P.) used to hand one out to every student in his class. Hydration is very important. If you don't pee before 10 am on the range, then you're dehydrated.
As far as the spare underwear and socks, IceBreakers are fantastic. Merino wool is the way to go. If your live in the Portland area, there is an IceBreakers store front by Powells Books
1:44 cat kinda moment
Thorough, practical rigs GirlFriend. Wonder if you'd consider giving us a little history: how you came to enjoy firearms, military experience, did you grow up with firearms/shooting, other interests? Thanks.
I love the paint can opener, great idea.
A lot of smart sustaining kit
great video
Paint can opener. Good idea.
Good stuff!
Bonus points for the cat cameo
just a heads up. Super glue is not the same as a true chemical bonding skin agent (like dermabond). You can grab it online fairly easily too.
Skeletool CX gang! XD
I love mine, it's the best compromise between capabilities and weight/size I have found so far.
Really good video
What brand or who did you say makes the organizer in you backpack?
That's Tasmanian Tiger.
I have a travel sized thing of baby powder in my generic medicinal pouch and lawd lemme learn ya a thang it's saved lives.
My life. From chafing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks combat knives are stupid. Had some troll on my channel act like John Wick and tell me I don't know shit about combat for having that stance despite the fact that I retain debilitating life long injuries specifically from combat lmao. Great video, love your content as usual.
I don't know if this is due to YT's directives or the algorithm, but
your videos haven't shown up in my subscription box at all.
I was scrolling through new content and thought to myself that you haven't uploaded in a while.
Last video I remember actually seeing in the feed was the Q&A.
Unfortunately TH-cam punishes us in mysterious ways. All we can do is watch, or in this case not watch, in horror.
Calories are another good thing to have. Bag of peanuts, cliff bar, etc.
Oh yes, I always pack a lunch at the very least!
Huh. I never thought to keep a spare bcg in my kit. Time to fix that.
Why do you have electrical tape wrapped around the choil of your knife?
To cut down on the glare since it's a stainless blade and some of it hangs out of the sheath.
Got ailce lbe Web gear
Speaking for myself, I see no reason to apologize for your cat's behaviors.
I admit that I'm fond of cats as pets. They are entertaining!
I'm happy I found out about u
I didn't know TGF was a ham. I wonder if TGT has one of those cool 43 inch antennas. CHIRP guide when?
I like to put extra AA batteries as my helmet counterweight
Welp, need to update my shopping list.
That's a very good setup imo; i also like to carry my Cold Steel combat shovel, two sharpening stones, some dry rope and a firesteel and some cotton rubbed on parafine, also candles.
Energizer, eh? Not Duracell?
gummy bears , you left out the gummy bears
No matter what anyone says, electrical tape is more useful than duct tape any day of the week.
We missing extra pair of socks,
A spare mask for making cheese
Zoomies
lot of stuff to carry...
Idk I'd that Is multi tool will work because ik stuff about Electricians stuff that won't cut wire good infact kilens cuter dose better job than that trust me go to home depot u thank me later
Notice me TG 💜
toilet paper? water purification?
So basically it's an old lady purse. 😁
Get to the important stuff, what is your kitty's name???
Her name is Lola 🐱
@@TacticoolGirlfriend Was she a showgirl???
@@gossettcd More like a "no girl" as in "no girl, stop that, get off the counter".
Unsustainable music ( i can not listen to you ,over that "music") !
I like this channel
I was actually wondering what you do for admin storage recently. Thanks for the vid! I’m not sure if you already have this but a video on gun storage could be cool, like a case or locker setup. I’m always here for whatever you do though 🏳️⚧️💜
