New sub after this video. Like minded people. Been doing this for years. Running soe belt. Home depot has the hook and look industrial. Used some of the old digital bdu pouches. Its faster than a chest rig on and off. Chest rig is for boogiloo and belt is for night bumps. Do suggest and additional alarm box in your bed room. 2 reasons. 1 its hard to communicate with those that live in your home over the sirens. 2 once the sirens shut off criminals tend to realize someone is home and they need to leave but the down side is you immediately lose the element of surprise. The other side of that is the alarm it self will put the criminals on high alert. I do suggest putting a radio on the belt or some kind of internal communication device on the belt that will allow you to speak with the other residents of your home. You can pick up electronic hearing protection that also has a Mic really cheap on eBay that will protect your ears, amplify low level sound to keep your situational awareness.
Few people are awoken from their slumber and tasked to go from 0-100 MPH than firefighters. 20 years ago I must've subconsciously thought of this when I began to simply leave the pants, complete with all of my gear, just beside my bed in a manner that allows me to easily place my feet into the legs, pull up, snap and clasp before looping my arm under the portion of my sling nearest me, hanging off of my headboard. Consistency in training and operation has always been a good thing for me, so I never saw value in any other concepts I thought of. It's always the same setup, whether I'm in my bed or across the country. Same guns, knives, light, wallet, belt and shoes. I hope after 20 years, you will feel as good about your system as I do mine. I will say though, there is a reason you only see equipment carried SOB in Hollywood: the spine doesn't care much for anything pressed into it, especially at speed. You may want to train from the ground with that setup, before you commit. Last observation, if I may; fighting without clothes and footwear is a rough way to go. Slipping on steps, catching a pinky toe on a chair, stepping on broken glass, or kneeling in it, are all bad things, and could prove deadly when loaded weapons are in the picture. Normally, I'm not compelled to comment on your videos. I watch the ones that interest me, hit the button and carry on. In this instance, I saw an opportunity to help someone that clearly is open to help (ie. the tools and training you mentioned). Stay safe.
My home defense consists 2 german shepherd and a half naked man in underwear wielding a tomahawk in one hand and shield in the other while I let out a battlecry
LOL My adult son thought it would be funny to surprise me at our getaway at the family farmhouse. No one else was supposed to be there that weekend. Halfway down the hall he was greeted by a naked bald man with a Glock 17. HE will NEVER get that image out of his head.
I understand that you have 2 German Shepherds. I have one question. While the half naked man in underwear is wielding a tomahawk in one hand and a shield in the other, what would you be doing besides letting out a battlecry?
yea. many people seem to overlook that. i have a family so i cant have my hearing compromised. communication is important and i'd like to keep it during those hectic situations
Brian, thanks for sharing! Stories are good fun, even if "em-bare-ass-ing"... Being Canadian, home defense is a different thing for me, but I have done hiking with a belt order for carrying my knife, hatchet, first aid kit, fire pouch, 1-qt water, for 30 years.. combined with a small pack, it makes for a light but capable carryall method.
Great idea! A few critiques: Don't have anything covering the small of your back: a fall could cause permanent spinal cord injury. Move more of your gear to that empty space in the front. If someone is on top of you, how easily can you reach behind your back vs. in front of your groin area?
Hey Bryan, you might want to do some research and find a tactical loin cloth to hang on your belt :)) I have one of those telescoping nubby night sticks with a high lumen flashlight at the busy end of the stick...and I'll grab my pistol off my nightstand I keep covered with a towel (nightstand is also a lockable gun cabinet). I made a sheath for the night stick and it's located just in the space between my mattress and the box spring. I always sleep in a pair of oversized Ex-officio boxers as they look like a pair of gym shorts.
Ha ! Great idea, but i thought of this many years ago, as i imagined the same scenario. So i put a very similar belt together, it's hanging off the edge of my headboard at the ready...
Nice, a couple of us were just asking you about battle belts a few weeks ago 😉 I think when you did the klickbelt shotshow video. Your response was, “what’s a battle belt” haha glad you got this set up!
👍 For years I’ve kept a small pistol in the right pocket of my bathrobe, a light and folding knife in the left. But I really like this quick-on belt idea! 👍 I may not end up carrying everything you do, but this is a great concept.
Damm I never thought of having a home battle belt. I have my nightstand gun with a flashlight and a duty belt for work but didn’t think of a battle belt. Thank you for the info. Will be my next little project.
Great info sir. I’m adding what you have recommended to my house. I have caught some kids Breaking into vehicles late at night, and wished I had a set of long-zip ties or handcuffs until the police arrived
Good food for thought on this belt concept. I hadn’t considered some of the things you mentioned. I may have to add something like this. Thanks for the video.
Hey there boss awesome video I enjoyed it very much it's very informative. It cracks me up when I spend all types of money on something and expected to be perfect and end up spending more money to make it perfect and end up spending more money to make it perfect.
why not use the inner belt to secure the stuff in place. maybe i missed the part about the inner belt to help hold it in but i would use a inner belt to secure everything in place
I had the idea of creating a pair of coveralls that would have body armor in the front and rear and would magazine pouches and holster built in much like a plate carrier. These wolud set beside your bed with a pair of boots very much the same way a volunteer firefighter has his turn out gear ready to go. They would be called minuteman overalls.
so using this belt...when you barely have any clothes on. Wouldn't the velcro mess you up? I have the blue alpha gear belt. It is set up for with PANTS ON....and won't fit right if it is done without clothes.
Since my go to home defense gun is a Mossberg 500, my thump in the night kit is a chest rig. It has front and rear body armor panels, a pistol holster, and I have several shotgun cards affixed to it. I keep it slung over a chair in the bedroom, along with some electronic ear muffs. The ear muffs allow me to hear any possible intruders; and will hopefully keep me from getting permanent hearing damage if I have to fire my 12 gauge in the house. It's just the wife and I at home; and she knows to go to the safe room if she sees me throwing on my plate carrier.
I wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to stay in that locked bedroom and dial 911. Really, maybe all you have to do is sit in that locked bedroom with a nice 12 gauge in your comfortable jammies and avoid a bloody, half-conscious trip to the ER, or worse, to the morgue.
In my opinion, have two! One in the front, for easy access, and a spare on the back in case there is more than one injury or if you collapse and someone has to grab it off of you.
How do y ou knoiw abou the Inforce? It has done fine for me so far. But I am going to keep testing it. And I have an update video coming soon on the belt that addresses the velcro issue
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I don't personally. When I was in the market for a light I really wanted an inforce. They look simple, and intuitive,which I like. However, I asked a buddy who is a trainer and he said inforce everything fails consistently in his classes. I've heard this from other people aswell. You hear it enough it's probably true.
I had a similar experience. 2 o'clock in the morning I woke to the sound of glass breaking! This was years ago before I had any firearms. I jumped up out of bed with a baseball bat. Ran around the house ready to whip some you know what. Finally I realized a glass fell over in the sink. Me and the wife laughed later about it.
Just saw this for the first time. I'm sort of surprised that you don't have a cell phone & holster on your belt so that _you_ can be the one to call the police or EMS if necessary.
What's with American's obsession with tourniquets? Far too many prepers buy loads of junk, without knowing how to use them. I've done my senior first aid certification many times and I know people who work as first responders. We are trained how to use triangle bandages as tourniquets. They're much more practical to carry, because they have many more uses. Members of the fire department, for example, don't even carry tourniquets, because they're not necessary. If you're only outside to check out a problem, there's no need to even carry a band aid, let alone a tourniquet, and carrying a knife just means there's something else for an attacker to grab and use against you. PS. You misspelled pyjamas, and there's no such thing as 1.75". A decimal point is just that: decimal, ie. metric (base 10). Inches are Imperial (base 12) Imperial and metric are different units of measurements that cannot be combined.
If you don't have a light on your home defense gun you're doing it wrong. You might not have time to fumble a belt they could be right out your bed room or kids room. I'm not knocking your belt idea. I'm just not taking that chance I'm grabbing my BCM and it's got everything I need on it. Light tourniquet and ammo. I don't think I'll need more than 30 ways to say GTFO! Lol the belt is a good idea it's quick and easy I'm just not devoting time and thought to that when I'm focusing on speed and efficiency
I had to come back here to say thanks. I was looking to get a chest rig/plate carrier to throw on for home defense. It got to the point of paralysis through analysis. I came across this vid and thought it was a great idea. I got my belt and mag pouches last week and it's just what I was looking for. 5 seconds, I've got my holstered gun, 2 extra mags, knife, and a flashlight on my body.
Great idea. But you need a real duty belt where all your items can stay in place even if you hang you belt I notice you had to readjust all your stuff 👍👍
Actually? Upon further thought, I am indeed a doofus. Dona at Klik Belts also sent me a 2nd Velcro duty belt liner and I didn’t know what it was for. Now I realize that it is to secure everything in place once it is where I want it.
Survival On Purpose ......no such thing as a doofus Sir. Lol 😂 the inner belt that second one you just noticed....is the one you use as a regular loop belt the Velcro part will seal with the outer belt and it will hold it in place just so that you don’t use belt keepers lol👍😝
1. You belt is a good additional to your home defense arsenal, but it is setup wrong. 2. Rules for setting up your belt. a. Become a minimalist. Practice minimalism. b. Don't attach/carry what you don't need. c. You don't want a bunch of items on your belt to get you confused during a fight, especially at night. d. Your belt should be streamlined and secure to your body and yet, be versatile enough to change configuration/your load out, when needed. e. The more weight you can take off your plate carrier and shoulders, the better, if you wear a plate carrier/body armor. f. Always setup your belt to augment and compliment your plate carrier/body armor vest, if you wear a plate carrier/body armor vest. g. If you attach items to the back of your belt, it should be small, compact, soft and when sitting, feel like lumbar support, not like someone sticking a knife into your back or something digging into your back. 3. MAGAZINES. Minimum of two on your belt. One is open/ready to be pulled out and insert into your pistol or carbine. The other is secured with a strap. Why? If you are getting out of a helicopter or HUMVEE and you trip and fall or you slip and fall off a mountain OR you are at home and trip and fall, you don’t lose both magazines. You only lose one. 4. MAGAZINES always face to the rear. Why? Pull and insert your magazines versus pull, flip and insert. It is all about efficiency of movement and speed. In a fight and especially at night, the orientation of the item you want and pull out matters and getting the right item for the task is important. 5. KNIVES. You need to carry two fixed blade knives: a short one and a long one. a. A short knife, one-half the size of your long knife. Five to six inches long and attached horizontally to the front of your belt opposite your strong arm and near your buckles. b. The long knife of nine to ten inches long, placed vertically at the 4 o'clock position. If you’re right-handed, place all your lethal items; pistol, knife and tomahawk; on your right side. Left-handed? Left side. Why? If one or two 'ghosts,' knocks you to the ground, jumps on you, and grabs your firearm (pistol or carbine), you can grab, one of your knives and stab 'em. True life story. c. I carry a Gerber Strong Arm Fixed Blade Knife with Serrated Edge. About $50.00 to $69.00 and comes in different colors with a multilocational sheath. Not too expensive and not too cheap. Best value for your money. d. Always keep your knives and entrenching tool sharp. If you can’t shave with your knife, it is not worth carrying. The only thing worst than an empty gun, is a dull knife. e. In combat, you can carry a folding knife, but not on your plate carrier and/or your belt, always carry a fixed blade knife. Nothing can go wrong with a good fixed blade knife. 6. IFAK. The ‘I’ stands for Individual. That means YOU! More properly called an Operator's Ventilated Kit. Molle attached, rip away, with a safety strap. Why a safety strap? When walking in heavy woods or brush and ‘wait a minute branch or vine’ will catch and rip away your IFAK. When you are tired, hungry and thirsty, you won’t even notice it being ripped away. 7. TOURNIQUETS. For your setup. One in the front and one in the back. a. Tourniquets are always visible. "If you have one tourniquet, you have zero tourniquets. If you have two tourniquets, you have one tourniquet. Excetera." b. In combat, carry a minimum of four tourniquets. One in front, one in back, one on your upper left arm pocket with red tab showing and one on your upper right arm pocket with red tab showing. c. If you need one tourniquet, there is a strong possibly, you will need two. You can never have enough tourniquets! 8. Take a Armed Home Defense course based upon Intuitive Defensive Shooting that includes a final reality-based live fire practical exercise from a firearms training company who trains both the police departments AND the US armed forces. 95% of students fail the Armed Home Defense Course. Why? Stress, they forget what they were taught in class and they default to their lowest level of training. 9. You never move to the sound of a possible breakin of your home. You need to know how to defend your home whether you sleep on the first or second floor. The rules are: 1. Evade 2. Barricade 3. Communicate 4. Arm 5. Defend, if necessary. Take an Armed Home Defense Course. It is an eye opener especially in this day and age where the home invaders want you to be home. Normally, two to four guys and one will be carrying a backpack. What is in the back pack? Torture equipment and zip ties. If four guys, two will go to your front door and two to your rear door. 10. You must learn the laws in your state to use lethal force. Remember, a property crime is not defensible and a 911 call is always recorded. Know what to say, in order, to the 911 operator and then, say no more.
Honestly, when I set up my belt... from SWAT equipment to the civilian side.... I just used a bit of tape to hold them in place. And wire ties. Always wiretie that shit in place. They don't give or break.
If I hear a crash in the middle of the night, battle belt is the last thing I'm grabbing. first is lv4 plate carrier than my 10.5' ar pistol magged up Hornady 40gr v-max ballistic tip. which both are right beside my bed. just in case someone comes looking for toilet paper. just saying.
My answer is not to investigate that’s what I pay police for, presuming they haven’t been defunded. Only reason I leave is to get to the kids, then I barricade the door.
Very nice. Might I suggest a Kevlar and/or ballistic cordura loincloth attached to the front of the belt to cover up the goods when the belt is all you’re wearing.
Brian, I don't know if you are ex-military but I learned to keep a "loaded belt" next to my bunk while stationed in certain areas of the world, namely the Middle East. I continue that practice today. My weapon of choice on the belt is more a deterrent than to do extreme harm. However, I do keep a shotgun in my closet next to my bed. I also set up a chest pack with essential survival items just in case. I've never had to deploy either and hopefully never will. Your belt idea is a great one and I'm sure that it will become a common item in many more homes.
Nice belt. I have the same belt clip on mine but it is a thinner web belt. You have to keep the small of your back clear though. Move that 30rd to the front or far off to the side as you can behind your glock mags. Even a light collision against a wall or counter can incapacitate you like a stun gun if you hit the small of your back just right/wrong.... and much worse can happen.
Put electrical tape on both sides off the magazine pouch. Electrical tape is the soldiers best friend:) And one more thing, you must have hearing protection close to that belt. I mean..its a very very must have when shooting indoors. Not pluggs , active hearing protection. Do u call them active hearing in english?
The story puzzled me; how on earth could a door just open? The security system alarm went off because a door "blew open"? Really? After being latched and locked?
Suggest you add a set of cuffs or at least some zip ties to your system. If you dont have to go lethal but you do have to incapacitate an unwanted guest while you wait for LE to arrive a good set of hinged cuffs will be vital.
20+years ago SanAntonio Texas, at that time the drive by capital of the US. 11 at night My wife yelled some one is trying to get into Jennifer’s room (my 14 year old daughter). I threw on my robe ,put my glasses on, and grabbed my nickel plated 9mm Taurus. I went to the front door and looked down the cul-de-sac and thought I would maybe get a shot off as they drove away.heard a noise in the bushes, spun around and faced a 6 foot 16 year old boy 1 foot from my barrel, he peed his pants. I had more trigger control than I thought. He was helping her sneak out to celebrate his birthday with him. I brought him in and sat and chewed him out in the living room. I put my pistol in my robe pocket and every time I wasn’t paying attention it dropped to the floor and exposed my junk in my whiter tighties. I could have really used that belt to present a more resurrection appearance.
Very nice, so now i just have to add a knife..... Had a similar experience several years ago. Dog barking, pulled gun from dresser drawer, flashlight from top, ran past my pants with hands full thinking i should put on my pants. In the end suspected it was a racoon visit. But none the less got me thinking. In my logic, no pants, no belt. So i use a shoulder holster....gun, spare mag and a flashlight that i clip to the mag side leather to grab easily. Out the door, hands free if need be, quickly.
What the hell could you possibly use that for? Think of everything you could get done while you're fumbling around with that stupid contraption. Grap your gun/light combo and get to work. Just put your pants on before the cops get there.
Bryan, I don't know if Klick-Belts makes one, but some of the other tactical gear suppliers make a padded liner for those Velcro belts. I would look into one to save your skin, and by adding one to the inside it would keep your gear from sliding around on the belt. This would allow your gear to remain where you want it to be instead of having to adjust its location every time you put the belt on.
Say you did have a home break-in and you chase the intruder out of your house. Now for whatever reason (for example, they have something or someone you really want back), you need to continue to chase the intruder while outside the house. If the intruder is hurt by you and then when the police arrive on the scene, they see you wearing/possessing an "assault kit". Will the police consider your actions premeditated? If you're still in your house, you'd have time to put away your belt, but not if you're down the road.
If you chase the intruder out of your house and then use deadly force against them, you are going to jail. Once they are fleeing your justification of self defense is gone
Back before I was married, I had a robe that hung on the open bedroom door where I could easily find it in the dark. You need a tactical robe. Have you considered hearing protection? Have you ever discharged a firearm in an enclosed space, like the interior of your home? Consider noise amplifying earmuffs.
I too had an incident at a former residence one cold January night around 15 yrs ago. We were awoken about 3am to a sound I can only describe as loud and disturbing. My wife was first out of bed and attempted to run out the bedroom to check out one of our dogs who was sick and in his kennel. I of course stopped her because I was convinced it was a home invasion which called for me to be the man of the house and handle it. So I, shalaylee swinging, began clearing the house with my 12 ga. To my surprise there were no invaders just the top of the 90 foot tree out back that had broken off about 15ft off the ground and laid itself down across the yard and house putting a rather large hole in roof of the house utterly destroying the kitchen. I have not changed my sleeping habits but I now have a side saddle on that shotgun.
From a retired peace officer you need to move that magazine in the back. When you put something in the small of your back and then you are pushed into something like a fence or a wall you will destroy your back. Move the magazine to either side of your back along the muscle and you will be fine. Nice job.
I don't understand why it's all good with just sons but it would be bad with daughters? Maybe it's because I'm European. But a good video and a VERY good idea. Maybe attach a skirt to the belt so when you're sleeping naked (as I always do) you now have the skirt to cover private parts and your tools all in one go. If you make wide loops on the skirt they can even keep your gear all in the right place for you. Use some Scottish fabric so you look frightening. Of course you will now have to adjust the position of the tools on the belt so you can put the belt on with the buckle more on the side so your private parts are covered.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Nudity is not a big problem over here. But I like that idea of having a belt ready. Of course we can't have guns here but a knife, ax, machete, baton etc. is possible. For me this is not just about intruders but also in case of a fire or something and you have to leave the house in a hurry. I do sleep naked. So I have a 3 quart pants with an elastic band band ready and flip flops. (that takes 2 seconds) I have a big knife, a machete and baton ready in case of intruders and one of those Marbles 'fire mans ax' for breaking down a door, smashing in a window, etc in case of a fire. 4 tools and 2 hands. I can easily make a belt for those tools. Than it would be 2 seconds for the pants and flip flops, 2 seconds for the tool belt, 1 second extra to grab my small BOB in case of fire. Good idea that belt!
I have a sub2k with a laser/light combo attached underneath and a 33 round mag loaded with hollows. I’ll skip the belt because if I come downstairs at night because I hear a noise I’m not gonna be wearing pants anyway.
What ever works! Defensive Spray? Because not every situation allows lethal defense. Plus if you become on the losing end and have lost your defenses that spray can change everything against the aggressive. especially more than one.
"Go to investigate..." is a bad tactic. It's the ensconced defender that has the advantage. If you have to go round up the kids, that's another matter. But leaving a secure position when you don't have to and giving up your advantage is not wise. You could even end up dead, or worse.
I too have a Tac belt for the very reason that you stated. I'd like to suggest having a couple of sets of handcuffs. In the event that you do catch an intruder or two. You can detain them in a safe for you and safe for them manner until the law arrives. Also, a set of house keys and car keys on a silent key holder in case you lock yourself outside or you need to drive around the block. Keep up the good work.
If you are going to sleep like that please put a change of clothes in the trunk of your car with shoes. House can have fires. I sleep is shorts and T-shirt just in case I don’t have time. My father he always has a change of clothes in his car.
Things sliding around was the issue I had with the belt so that's why I switched over to a vest. Just as easy to put on and take off, allows me to carry more gear, and the gears are kept tightly in place.
Good one brother Bryan. I agree with your idea of velcroing everything in place. It takes precious seconds to adjust the things on your belt. If they stay put you can develop muscle memory and your hand will go exactly where you need it to go without trying to find what you need. God Bless and I pray you never need it.
Brian, we all appreciate you demonstrating with clothes on!
Uh, yeah ;-)
DEAD! HAHAHAHAHA!
I would have preferred with them off 😜
Seriously I had all these pieces laying around. Thank you for the common sense wake up call.
cool
New sub after this video. Like minded people. Been doing this for years. Running soe belt. Home depot has the hook and look industrial. Used some of the old digital bdu pouches. Its faster than a chest rig on and off. Chest rig is for boogiloo and belt is for night bumps. Do suggest and additional alarm box in your bed room. 2 reasons. 1 its hard to communicate with those that live in your home over the sirens. 2 once the sirens shut off criminals tend to realize someone is home and they need to leave but the down side is you immediately lose the element of surprise. The other side of that is the alarm it self will put the criminals on high alert. I do suggest putting a radio on the belt or some kind of internal communication device on the belt that will allow you to speak with the other residents of your home. You can pick up electronic hearing protection that also has a Mic really cheap on eBay that will protect your ears, amplify low level sound to keep your situational awareness.
Thanks
Few people are awoken from their slumber and tasked to go from 0-100 MPH than firefighters. 20 years ago I must've subconsciously thought of this when I began to simply leave the pants, complete with all of my gear, just beside my bed in a manner that allows me to easily place my feet into the legs, pull up, snap and clasp before looping my arm under the portion of my sling nearest me, hanging off of my headboard. Consistency in training and operation has always been a good thing for me, so I never saw value in any other concepts I thought of. It's always the same setup, whether I'm in my bed or across the country. Same guns, knives, light, wallet, belt and shoes. I hope after 20 years, you will feel as good about your system as I do mine.

All good points
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Hey, good people look out for good people, brother. 👍🏽
This is TOO funny! 😂
I can just hear my wife saying
“Lose the pajamas, keep the belt on.”
😍😂
All righty then ;-)
Thanks for wearing pants when you did your show and tell. :) Good stuff.
;-)
A belt for all the occasions
My home defense consists 2 german shepherd and a half naked man in underwear wielding a tomahawk in one hand and shield in the other while I let out a battlecry
@Andrew LOL!!🤣😂🤣
@Andrew Funny you should mention "good laugh," and not recognize humor when you see it.
LOL My adult son thought it would be funny to surprise me at our getaway at the family farmhouse. No one else was supposed to be there that weekend. Halfway down the hall he was greeted by a naked bald man with a Glock 17. HE will NEVER get that image out of his head.
Your husband is a brave man.
I understand that you have 2 German Shepherds. I have one question. While the half naked man in underwear is wielding a tomahawk in one hand and a shield in the other, what would you be doing besides letting out a battlecry?
Missing the most important thing - electronic hearing protection. Especially since you’re using an AR pistol indoors
It is suppressed. But yeah, you are right.
VF77 as the proud rider of such a barking little steed--most AR pistol owners have already given up their hearing, or already lost it. Lol
Rah!
yea. many people seem to overlook that. i have a family so i cant have my hearing compromised. communication is important and i'd like to keep it during those hectic situations
Brian, thanks for sharing! Stories are good fun, even if "em-bare-ass-ing"... Being Canadian, home defense is a different thing for me, but I have done hiking with a belt order for carrying my knife, hatchet, first aid kit, fire pouch, 1-qt water, for 30 years.. combined with a small pack, it makes for a light but capable carryall method.
Nice setup Brian!
You should add some body armor to go along with your belt
Great idea! A few critiques: Don't have anything covering the small of your back: a fall could cause permanent spinal cord injury. Move more of your gear to that empty space in the front. If someone is on top of you, how easily can you reach behind your back vs. in front of your groin area?
champy1210 True story...nothing in line with the spine👍🏽
Hey Bryan, you might want to do some research and find a tactical loin cloth to hang on your belt :)) I have one of those telescoping nubby night sticks with a high lumen flashlight at the busy end of the stick...and I'll grab my pistol off my nightstand I keep covered with a towel (nightstand is also a lockable gun cabinet). I made a sheath for the night stick and it's located just in the space between my mattress and the box spring. I always sleep in a pair of oversized Ex-officio boxers as they look like a pair of gym shorts.
"tactical loin cloth" ;-)
Sometimes I answer the door wearing only 3 things, a battle belt, black socks, and happiness
I think I will add some shoestring cuffs to mine... if you subdue you need quick access to restraints....
hmmm
It sounds like your battle belt needs to include a loin cloth.
sometimes
Ha ! Great idea, but i thought of this many years ago, as i imagined the same scenario. So i put a very similar belt together, it's hanging off the edge of my headboard at the ready...
Very cool!
Very well thought out set up! Put a hole in em and patch em up all before the boys in blue show up!! 😂😂😂
if needed
Nice, a couple of us were just asking you about battle belts a few weeks ago 😉 I think when you did the klickbelt shotshow video. Your response was, “what’s a battle belt” haha glad you got this set up!
Sometimes I learn
👍 For years I’ve kept a small pistol in the right pocket of my bathrobe, a light and folding knife in the left. But I really like this quick-on belt idea! 👍 I may not end up carrying everything you do, but this is a great concept.
Lane Dexter sew some heavy duty belt loops on that robe for the gun belt ? Maybe a tactical bathrobe should be a thing 🤔
Thanks
Kevlar Tacticle Bathrobe
Damm I never thought of having a home battle belt. I have my nightstand gun with a flashlight and a duty belt for work but didn’t think of a battle belt. Thank you for the info. Will be my next little project.
Cool
Looking everywhere with my little pistol. Well, that's TMI. lol
“This is my rifle, this is my gun....”
Great info sir. I’m adding what you have recommended to my house. I have caught some kids Breaking into vehicles late at night, and wished I had a set of long-zip ties or handcuffs until the police arrived
Good stuff
Good food for thought on this belt concept. I hadn’t considered some of the things you mentioned. I may have to add something like this. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
not going to lie, I never thought of this, I guess im gunna have to make myself a home defense belt
Where is the cape and mask? Lol
Alfred was ironing them.
Thanks Brain my humor is blue, it’s an acquired taste
Hey there boss awesome video I enjoyed it very much it's very informative.
It cracks me up when I spend all types of money on something and expected to be perfect and end up spending more money to make it perfect and end up spending more money to make it perfect.
All you're lacking is a fig leaf and you'd be covered!
It has worked before
Next video, the tactical loin cloth! Or even a kilt.
;-)
why not use the inner belt to secure the stuff in place. maybe i missed the part about the inner belt to help hold it in but i would use a inner belt to secure everything in place
Stay tuned for an update.
Your door blew open? Was there a big bad wolf involved?
A good idea! 👍 It doesn't take more than a few seconds to put it on but it can really mean the difference of the potential outcome 😊👏
Thanks.

Cool video.. Buy if i was buck naked that internal velcro might get scratchy
Stay tuned for the new improved version coming soon
The world needs a tactical bathrobe! with velcro built in around the waist for attaching belt.
I had the idea of creating a pair of coveralls that would have body armor in the front and rear and would magazine pouches and holster built in much like a plate carrier. These wolud set beside your bed with a pair of boots very much the same way a volunteer firefighter has his turn out gear ready to go. They would be called minuteman overalls.
whatever works for you
Very interesting idea!
Brian I've always loved your videos this video also incredible
Thank you.
You forgot your cell phone case and cell phone so you can call for help if you go outside or chase someone.
so using this belt...when you barely have any clothes on. Wouldn't the velcro mess you up?
I have the blue alpha gear belt. It is set up for with PANTS ON....and won't fit right if it is done without clothes.
Stay tuned for version 2 which addresses that
Me - baby go to sleep
Wife - don't forget your battle belt
Me - ok baby
Since my go to home defense gun is a Mossberg 500, my thump in the night kit is a chest rig. It has front and rear body armor panels, a pistol holster, and I have several shotgun cards affixed to it. I keep it slung over a chair in the bedroom, along with some electronic ear muffs. The ear muffs allow me to hear any possible intruders; and will hopefully keep me from getting permanent hearing damage if I have to fire my 12 gauge in the house. It's just the wife and I at home; and she knows to go to the safe room if she sees me throwing on my plate carrier.
Good idea
Great vid. Brilliant advice. And, thanks for the "SOP15" too. Very Helpful review, keep-em coming.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice i like you set up thanks again
I'll get two of these belts with my Pandemic bucks.
TrumpBucks* lol
I wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to stay in that locked bedroom and dial 911. Really, maybe all you have to do is sit in that locked bedroom with a nice 12 gauge in your comfortable jammies and avoid a bloody, half-conscious trip to the ER, or worse, to the morgue.
Except I have other people in the house I care about.
I would move the tourniquet to the front. You need to be able to reach it with either hand in the event one hand is out of commission.
Thanks
In my opinion, have two! One in the front, for easy access, and a spare on the back in case there is more than one injury or if you collapse and someone has to grab it off of you.
The inforce light is not a durable choice. Also that velcro might not feel too good on naked skin.
How do y ou knoiw abou the Inforce? It has done fine for me so far. But I am going to keep testing it. And I have an update video coming soon on the belt that addresses the velcro issue
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I don't personally. When I was in the market for a light I really wanted an inforce. They look simple, and intuitive,which I like. However, I asked a buddy who is a trainer and he said inforce everything fails consistently in his classes. I've heard this from other people aswell. You hear it enough it's probably true.
I had a similar experience. 2 o'clock in the morning I woke to the sound of glass breaking! This was years ago before I had any firearms. I jumped up out of bed with a baseball bat. Ran around the house ready to whip some you know what. Finally I realized a glass fell over in the sink. Me and the wife laughed later about it.
Funny
Just saw this for the first time. I'm sort of surprised that you don't have a cell phone & holster on your belt so that _you_ can be the one to call the police or EMS if necessary.
I thought about that and I may add that. Although my wife will be the one calling them, I don't need that distraction
What's with American's obsession with tourniquets? Far too many prepers buy loads of junk, without knowing how to use them.
I've done my senior first aid certification many times and I know people who work as first responders. We are trained how to use triangle bandages as tourniquets. They're much more practical to carry, because they have many more uses. Members of the fire department, for example, don't even carry tourniquets, because they're not necessary. If you're only outside to check out a problem, there's no need to even carry a band aid, let alone a tourniquet, and carrying a knife just means there's something else for an attacker to grab and use against you.
PS. You misspelled pyjamas, and there's no such thing as 1.75". A decimal point is just that: decimal, ie. metric (base 10). Inches are Imperial (base 12) Imperial and metric are different units of measurements that cannot be combined.
You know every man that does this will at some point stand in front of the mirror wearing only the belt and gear lol
Hmmm
If you don't have a light on your home defense gun you're doing it wrong. You might not have time to fumble a belt they could be right out your bed room or kids room. I'm not knocking your belt idea. I'm just not taking that chance I'm grabbing my BCM and it's got everything I need on it. Light tourniquet and ammo. I don't think I'll need more than 30 ways to say GTFO! Lol the belt is a good idea it's quick and easy I'm just not devoting time and thought to that when I'm focusing on speed and efficiency
Being naked is part of being tactical too because you show the other weapon Jajajajajajajajaja great video i subscribe THANKS
I had to come back here to say thanks. I was looking to get a chest rig/plate carrier to throw on for home defense. It got to the point of paralysis through analysis. I came across this vid and thought it was a great idea. I got my belt and mag pouches last week and it's just what I was looking for. 5 seconds, I've got my holstered gun, 2 extra mags, knife, and a flashlight on my body.
Great idea. But you need a real duty belt where all your items can stay in place even if you hang you belt I notice you had to readjust all your stuff 👍👍
It’s not the belt, it is the pouches I am using. The belt has the Velcro liner
Actually? Upon further thought, I am indeed a doofus. Dona at Klik Belts also sent me a 2nd Velcro duty belt liner and I didn’t know what it was for. Now I realize that it is to secure everything in place once it is where I want it.
Survival On Purpose ......no such thing as a doofus Sir. Lol 😂 the inner belt that second one you just noticed....is the one you use as a regular loop belt the Velcro part will seal with the outer belt and it will hold it in place just so that you don’t use belt keepers lol👍😝
1. You belt is a good additional to your home defense arsenal, but it is setup wrong.
2. Rules for setting up your belt.
a. Become a minimalist. Practice minimalism.
b. Don't attach/carry what you don't need.
c. You don't want a bunch of items on your belt to get you confused during a fight, especially at night.
d. Your belt should be streamlined and secure to your body and yet, be versatile enough to change configuration/your load out, when needed.
e. The more weight you can take off your plate carrier and shoulders, the better, if you wear a plate carrier/body armor.
f. Always setup your belt to augment and compliment your plate carrier/body armor vest, if you wear a plate carrier/body armor vest.
g. If you attach items to the back of your belt, it should be small, compact, soft and when sitting, feel like lumbar support, not like someone sticking a knife into your back or something digging into your back.
3. MAGAZINES. Minimum of two on your belt. One is open/ready to be pulled out and insert into your pistol or carbine. The other is secured with a strap. Why? If you are getting out of a helicopter or HUMVEE and you trip and fall or you slip and fall off a mountain OR you are at home and trip and fall, you don’t lose both magazines.
You only lose one.
4. MAGAZINES always face to the rear. Why? Pull and insert your magazines versus pull, flip and insert. It is all about efficiency of movement and speed. In a fight and especially at night, the orientation of the item you want and pull out matters and getting the right item for the task is important.
5. KNIVES. You need to carry two fixed blade knives: a short one and a long one.
a. A short knife, one-half the size of your long knife. Five to six inches long and attached horizontally to the front of your belt opposite your strong arm and near your buckles.
b. The long knife of nine to ten inches long, placed vertically at the 4 o'clock position. If you’re right-handed, place all your lethal items; pistol, knife and tomahawk; on your right side. Left-handed? Left side. Why? If one or two 'ghosts,' knocks you to the ground, jumps on you, and grabs your firearm (pistol or carbine), you can grab, one of your knives and stab 'em. True life story.
c. I carry a Gerber Strong Arm Fixed Blade Knife with Serrated Edge. About $50.00 to $69.00 and comes in different colors with a multilocational sheath. Not too expensive and not too cheap. Best value for your money.
d. Always keep your knives and entrenching tool sharp. If you can’t shave with your knife, it is not worth carrying.
The only thing worst than an empty gun, is a dull knife.
e. In combat, you can carry a folding knife, but not on your plate carrier and/or your belt, always carry a fixed blade knife. Nothing can go wrong with a good fixed blade knife.
6. IFAK. The ‘I’ stands for Individual. That means YOU! More properly called an Operator's Ventilated Kit. Molle attached, rip away, with a safety strap. Why a safety strap? When walking in heavy woods or brush and ‘wait a minute branch or vine’ will catch and rip away your IFAK. When you are tired, hungry and thirsty, you won’t even notice it being ripped away.
7. TOURNIQUETS. For your setup. One in the front and one in the back.
a. Tourniquets are always visible. "If you have one tourniquet, you have zero tourniquets. If you have two tourniquets, you have one tourniquet. Excetera."
b. In combat, carry a minimum of four tourniquets. One in front, one in back, one on your upper left arm pocket with red tab showing and one on your upper right arm pocket with red tab showing. c. If you need one tourniquet, there is a strong possibly, you will need two. You can never have enough tourniquets!
8. Take a Armed Home Defense course based upon Intuitive Defensive Shooting that includes a final reality-based live fire practical exercise from a firearms training company who trains both the police departments AND the US armed forces. 95% of students fail the Armed Home Defense Course. Why? Stress, they forget what they were taught in class and they default to their lowest level of training.
9. You never move to the sound of a possible breakin of your home. You need to know how to defend your home whether you sleep on the first or second floor. The rules are: 1. Evade 2. Barricade 3. Communicate 4. Arm 5. Defend, if necessary. Take an Armed Home Defense Course. It is an eye opener especially in this day and age where the home invaders want you to be home. Normally, two to four guys and one will be carrying a backpack. What is in the back pack? Torture equipment and zip ties. If four guys, two will go to your front door and two to your rear door.
10. You must learn the laws in your state to use lethal force. Remember, a property crime is not defensible and a 911 call is always recorded. Know what to say, in order, to the 911 operator and then, say no more.
Honestly, when I set up my belt... from SWAT equipment to the civilian side.... I just used a bit of tape to hold them in place. And wire ties. Always wiretie that shit in place. They don't give or break.
If I hear a crash in the middle of the night, battle belt is the last thing I'm grabbing. first is lv4 plate carrier than my 10.5' ar pistol magged up Hornady 40gr v-max ballistic tip. which both are right beside my bed. just in case someone comes looking for toilet paper. just saying.
My answer is not to investigate that’s what I pay police for, presuming they haven’t been defunded. Only reason I leave is to get to the kids, then I barricade the door.
Very nice. Might I suggest a Kevlar and/or ballistic cordura loincloth attached to the front of the belt to cover up the goods when the belt is all you’re wearing.
Pretty sure I heard you right your gonna put that belt on with all that stuff on it and search your house naked? Kinda weird buddy
Maybe Brian is a little kinky
I did NOT say that ;-)
I will do my best to throw on some shorts or sweats. They are always right there.
Any intruder seeing me naked ought to be sufficiently freaked out to flee in terror....or uncontrollable laughter.
Brian, I don't know if you are ex-military but I learned to keep a "loaded belt" next to my bunk while stationed in certain areas of the world, namely the Middle East. I continue that practice today. My weapon of choice on the belt is more a deterrent than to do extreme harm. However, I do keep a shotgun in my closet next to my bed. I also set up a chest pack with essential survival items just in case. I've never had to deploy either and hopefully never will. Your belt idea is a great one and I'm sure that it will become a common item in many more homes.
Nice belt. I have the same belt clip on mine but it is a thinner web belt. You have to keep the small of your back clear though. Move that 30rd to the front or far off to the side as you can behind your glock mags. Even a light collision against a wall or counter can incapacitate you like a stun gun if you hit the small of your back just right/wrong.... and much worse can happen.
Thanks
If I'm an idiot home intruder and see a buck nekid dude running at me sporting a tactical belt I'm def haul assin the other way...lol
Put electrical tape on both sides off the magazine pouch. Electrical tape is the soldiers best friend:) And one more thing, you must have hearing protection close to that belt. I mean..its a very very must have when shooting indoors. Not pluggs , active hearing protection. Do u call them active hearing in english?
Yes. And that is good advice.
Just can't get over the fact that it's so scary over in the us that you have to tool up at bedtime. You folks need to chill . Seriously
Why watch a channel called “Survival On Purpose”?
I know. Whatever you do, don’t move here.
@@latorgator23 just random watching as I'm locked down. Stay safe
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I really hope you never need to use the belt. All the best and fly straight.
I added an extra hook next to the bed for this. Glad I'm not the only one. Great video.
Thanks
I just ordered and received a flashlight holder from Nitecore. NHT25 that will go on the belt. Nice setup!
Nice!!
Seems like you might want to lock your doors at night.
The story puzzled me; how on earth could a door just open? The security system alarm went off because a door "blew open"? Really? After being latched and locked?
Obviously, it wasn’t shut all then way. I think one of the kids had gone out for something. Give me a break. It was years ago. I don’t remember.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose You know how YT is, brother; tough crowd...:)
Suggest you add a set of cuffs or at least some zip ties to your system. If you dont have to go lethal but you do have to incapacitate an unwanted guest while you wait for LE to arrive a good set of hinged cuffs will be vital.
Thanks. Stay tuned for an update soon
Fake news, every body knows best setup for home defense is flashbang and a tomohawk. Another plus to this load out is, that pants are optional!
Cool set up. I'd suggest a cell phone as well. Even an old one that does not have service can be used to call 911.
Good idea. I think I would consider adding pepper spray or a taser. Options are nice.
20+years ago SanAntonio Texas, at that time the drive by capital of the US. 11 at night My wife yelled some one is trying to get into Jennifer’s room (my 14 year old daughter). I threw on my robe ,put my glasses on, and grabbed my nickel plated 9mm Taurus. I went to the front door and looked down the cul-de-sac and thought I would maybe get a shot off as they drove away.heard a noise in the bushes, spun around and faced a 6 foot 16 year old boy 1 foot from my barrel, he peed his pants. I had more trigger control than I thought. He was helping her sneak out to celebrate his birthday with him. I brought him in and sat and chewed him out in the living room. I put my pistol in my robe pocket and every time I wasn’t paying attention it dropped to the floor and exposed my junk in my whiter tighties. I could have really used that belt to present a more resurrection appearance.
I bet he didn't do that again
99 cent zip ties will hold your gear in place. Costs less too.
Very nice, so now i just have to add a knife..... Had a similar experience several years ago. Dog barking, pulled gun from dresser drawer, flashlight from top, ran past my pants with hands full thinking i should put on my pants. In the end suspected it was a racoon visit. But none the less got me thinking. In my logic, no pants, no belt. So i use a shoulder holster....gun, spare mag and a flashlight that i clip to the mag side leather to grab easily. Out the door, hands free if need be, quickly.
Cool
no handcuffs or zip ties...
stay off this man's lawn!!!
What the hell could you possibly use that for? Think of everything you could get done while you're fumbling around with that stupid contraption. Grap your gun/light combo and get to work. Just put your pants on before the cops get there.
Fumbling for what? 3 seconds?
Hey Brian, That's better than Batman lol great story.. excellent belt setup really smart idea..
Hey, thanks!
Bryan,
I don't know if Klick-Belts makes one, but some of the other tactical gear suppliers make a padded liner for those Velcro belts. I would look into one to save your skin, and by adding one to the inside it would keep your gear from sliding around on the belt. This would allow your gear to remain where you want it to be instead of having to adjust its location every time you put the belt on.
Stay tuned. Dona at Klik Belts and I are working on some tweaks to this setup that are going to be a major improvement.
Say you did have a home break-in and you chase the intruder out of your house. Now for whatever reason (for example, they have something or someone you really want back), you need to continue to chase the intruder while outside the house. If the intruder is hurt by you and then when the police arrive on the scene, they see you wearing/possessing an "assault kit". Will the police consider your actions premeditated? If you're still in your house, you'd have time to put away your belt, but not if you're down the road.
If you chase the intruder out of your house and then use deadly force against them, you are going to jail. Once they are fleeing your justification of self defense is gone
Back before I was married, I had a robe that hung on the open bedroom door where I could easily find it in the dark. You need a tactical robe. Have you considered hearing protection? Have you ever discharged a firearm in an enclosed space, like the interior of your home? Consider noise amplifying earmuffs.
Good point
I too had an incident at a former residence one cold January night around 15 yrs ago. We were awoken about 3am to a sound I can only describe as loud and disturbing. My wife was first out of bed and attempted to run out the bedroom to check out one of our dogs who was sick and in his kennel. I of course stopped her because I was convinced it was a home invasion which called for me to be the man of the house and handle it. So I, shalaylee swinging, began clearing the house with my 12 ga. To my surprise there were no invaders just the top of the 90 foot tree out back that had broken off about 15ft off the ground and laid itself down across the yard and house putting a rather large hole in roof of the house utterly destroying the kitchen. I have not changed my sleeping habits but I now have a side saddle on that shotgun.
Good call
From a retired peace officer you need to move that magazine in the back. When you put something in the small of your back and then you are pushed into something like a fence or a wall you will destroy your back. Move the magazine to either side of your back along the muscle and you will be fine. Nice job.
Thanks
I don't understand why it's all good with just sons but it would be bad with daughters?
Maybe it's because I'm European. But a good video and a VERY good idea.
Maybe attach a skirt to the belt so when you're sleeping naked (as I always do) you now have the skirt to cover private parts and your tools all in one go. If you make wide loops on the skirt they can even keep your gear all in the right place for you. Use some Scottish fabric so you look frightening. Of course you will now have to adjust the position of the tools on the belt so you can put the belt on with the buckle more on the side so your private parts are covered.
If I had daughters I might not think it was bad. But I don't.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Nudity is not a big problem over here. But I like that idea of having a belt ready. Of course we can't have guns here but a knife, ax, machete, baton etc. is possible.
For me this is not just about intruders but also in case of a fire or something and you have to leave the house in a hurry.
I do sleep naked.
So I have a 3 quart pants with an elastic band band ready and flip flops. (that takes 2 seconds) I have a big knife, a machete and baton ready in case of intruders and one of those Marbles 'fire mans ax' for breaking down a door, smashing in a window, etc in case of a fire. 4 tools and 2 hands. I can easily make a belt for those tools. Than it would be 2 seconds for the pants and flip flops, 2 seconds for the tool belt, 1 second extra to grab my small BOB in case of fire. Good idea that belt!
I have a sub2k with a laser/light combo attached underneath and a 33 round mag loaded with hollows. I’ll skip the belt because if I come downstairs at night because I hear a noise I’m not gonna be wearing pants anyway.
That is the whole point of the belt
What ever works! Defensive Spray? Because not every situation allows lethal defense. Plus if you become on the losing end and have lost your defenses that spray can change everything against the aggressive. especially more than one.
Maybe so.
"Go to investigate..." is a bad tactic. It's the ensconced defender that has the advantage. If you have to go round up the kids, that's another matter. But leaving a secure position when you don't have to and giving up your advantage is not wise. You could even end up dead, or worse.
depends on the situation for sure.
can you give the item # or the type of the belt that you have because i do not see it on there web site ????
This "Situation" Knife/Gun guys talk about is just a excuse for another Knife/Gun... admit it guys... deep down you know it is true
Mr. Translater shhhhhhhh bro the wives will see this. That’s the unspoken language.
I'd say spend that money on more training
My wife always wants me to come to bed with just my Battle belt and cowboy boots 😉
I too have a Tac belt for the very reason that you stated. I'd like to suggest having a couple of sets of handcuffs. In the event that you do catch an intruder or two. You can detain them in a safe for you and safe for them manner until the law arrives. Also, a set of house keys and car keys on a silent key holder in case you lock yourself outside or you need to drive around the block. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
If you are going to sleep like that please put a change of clothes in the trunk of your car with shoes. House can have fires. I sleep is shorts and T-shirt just in case I don’t have time. My father he always has a change of clothes in his car.
Thanks
Things sliding around was the issue I had with the belt so that's why I switched over to a vest. Just as easy to put on and take off, allows me to carry more gear, and the gears are kept tightly in place.
I have a solution coming up soon. Stay tuned
Lol for the butt naked story🤣🤣🤣
Great idea. Your belt reminds me of the western gunfighters with a 21st century twist. Now I have to go look for my old military surplus click belt.
draw!
Good one brother Bryan. I agree with your idea of velcroing everything in place. It takes precious seconds to adjust the things on your belt. If they stay put you can develop muscle memory and your hand will go exactly where you need it to go without trying to find what you need. God Bless and I pray you never need it.
I actually will be making an update video very soon showing a solution to that problem.
Maybe add handcuffs or quick ties to detain someone if need be 👍
