Having no personal military experience, I find it interesting how we're coming full circle back to a LBV as a likely solution to sustainment in the field.
Fighting an asymmetrical war with QRF & big brother doesn’t really require this type of load out unless you’re like a scout sniper team moving alone for days in the mountains. However now, carrying all the kit & sustainment looks to be ideal with the way the battlefield is shaping today.
I was just thinking the same thing. I think some of this circle is brought on by the fact that the GWOT was an unconventional war which brought about historically unconventional gear and tactics. We’re seiPeking tactics and gear come back to old concepts because that’s what works for most of the history of armed conflict.
Just want you guys to know, I ran a 34A setup on the recent Arctic Aloha operation that 2/11 IBCT conducted in Hawaii/Alaska. Two static-line mass tacs onto Hawaii and Malemute less than 48 hours apart, both in-flight rigs; tropical climate straight into arctic climate. I jumped rig exposed. The 34A is a true beast. I was comfortable as hell and still had everything I needed on me: water, NODs, 148 radio, compass, mag, chem lights, batteries, etc. Even jerry-rigged an EUD mount to it with 550 cord and hung a conformal battery pouch on the loop strap across the back for guaranteed comms during the follow-ons. I imagine adding the butt pouch to it would make sustainment almost laughably easy. Looking forward to investing in this soon. Love your products, always innovating solutions for problems long before they present themselves. Cheers from a thankful paratrooper, 1-501st PIR 🇺🇸
I honestly would love a “left and right” version of the Mutant Pouch. Having that exterior pouch on either side, to potentially run two radios, would be ideal
Honestly, with that last setup, I don't even need a ruck unless its more than 72 hours. That's going to be my final setup once I'm done. Plenty of room for nods, nav, comms, emergency mags, water and sustainment items.
@@TerryWhisk Did you pay attention to the last setup? It wasn't just the buttpack. two tall GPs, two medium GPs, and buttpack. Along with two spuds. That's plenty for 72 hours on the civilian side. I'm not trying to wreck my body carrying 100lb+ packs anymore, my Army days are over. I'm 34 and I'd like to still be active into my 60s and 70s.
@@longbow0728 If its cold to the point of needing more than a tarp and insulating layer, I can see that. I live in the south though, so unless I'm in the mountains, its usually not bad.
So basically we are going back to 1980's style webbing. This setup is pretty much the same as the CF "82" pattern webbing I was issued in the late 90's.
As a commo guy assigned to the FiST, I can attest how much it sucked being short with butt pack on the LBE/LBV and humping a ruck. I plan on getting a 34A loadout as it looks amazing and has good functionality.
I feel like we went all the way back to the MAC-V SOG days with packs like this. I don't have an issue with that, I just feel like that was worth mentioning. What old is new again.
As a man born out of time who has a heart for nostalgia I totally agree and love how after coming “full circle” we are starting to dip back into the old school gear ❤
Me: "Looks pretty cool and practical" Spiritus systems: "That'll be $185.99" Me: "Oh, for the whole chest rig complete with pouches and the expander kit?" Spiritus systems: "No, just for the expander, the chest rig plus pouches will run you an extra $250 at least" Me: ....."Hey look, Kommando store is selling LBV 88's for 50 bucks, sweet!"
I am really appreciating the videos on patrol basics, machine gunner setups, water basics, etc. Suggestion for other videos, maybe a team medic set up? A medic on patrol set up? Patrol base medic set up? For those of us who have the training but while in, that was not our MOS.
I really liked the USMC LBV for practical applications. The Marines that hated it only wore it with canteens because some SGTMAJ wanted them worn for some irrelevant parade.
As someone in florida i definitely am looking at this. I used tk ruck witha plate carrier and it just started to not make sense in the heat for sustainment. Transfered over to a chest rig and a slick carrier in the bag for when i need it cause going on a 8mile hike through swamp is not fun in ANY carrier
I get that there are some professional soldiers here, but a few days of home guard duty is all I ever expect to face in a wrol situation. Static, well-resourced, defensive. Figuring out that loadout, it won't need much
This is getting into hypotheticals but I feel like as a civilian in wrol you will be spending a reasonable amount of time walking and being close to the ground just observing whats going on, taking notes, setting up barriers, etc. Military LBE is not really geared around carrying binoculars, rangefinders, maps, loose ammo, snacks, gloves, hats, cigarettes, 16oz water bottles, power banks and many other common civilian items. I like that spiritus systems products are very "open ended" and can carry whatever. Of course a walmart backpack or a duffle bag can carry plenty of stuff inconspicuously
This cycle is dope. I watch a Grunt Perspective Video on his belt kit updates to meet a looming peer conflict where threats to LoCs are very real, then Spiritus Drops this bad boy
I do like that it is a bit more streamline that a molle-on solution, and it's height will make it more comfortable, but I feel like I prefer the classic buckle flap top to the buttpack over the roll top. I do appreciate that the roll top allows for more volume adjustment though
@@sergeikolobashin1433 Beyond getting a Nixieworks rig that's built around a massive flap buttpack, the first one that pops into my mind is the Velocity Systems Jungle buttpack. I use a SSO/SPOSN SMERSH myself that's in a similar design, and I've even used older ALICE buttpacks you could integrate into a belt pretty easily.
Did y'all hit 100K subs recently? either way good for you - thanks for sharing the info etc and even the clowns in the chat are entertaining ... "you're not in the circle bro, so you dont know" lol ya ok mad warrior dude...
I understand this product is designed to be used in conjunction with the 34A split rig, but molle was placed on the rear showing you guys gave some consideration to alternate ways of utilizing the pouch. Yet you omitted the belt pass through on this product, why? In the video Adam even states "the belt pass through that is organic on almost every pouch that we make." This is a buttpack, why does it not have a native way to belt mount it?
Yeah I understand that. I was just pointing out that "The Buttpack," which are typically belt mount, lacks the way to belt mount "that is organic on almost every pouch we make." Also I would assume 5 -7 inches of belt pass through would both carry the weight better and be more secure mounting wise than two 1 inch nylon straps.
Ergonomically, it would be easier having all essentials waist level in combat. As an ironworker who has to wear a full-blown fall arrest web harness with bolt bags, scabbards, rod bags, and hooks, i can attest to that.
I know the tarp is an experimental product you guys are toying with… what on the market can mimic in in the meantime while we wait for y’all to release it?
Any chance there will be an option for no shoulder straps? Using a Warrior Assault Systems molle harness for a make shift battle jacket system and while this bag would be a great replacement for the Beez padded back strap matched with a molle sustainment pouch, the shoulder straps are essentially just going to be chucked into storage and likely never see the light of day again
I think the industry, that means you, is almost there. The added weight and complexity of "modular" systems makes them less efficient. They're heavier, bulkier, an almost less adaptable. When you get to the point of purpose built systems where everything has its place with a few GP areas here and there, then tye industry will be right on target. There are only so many roles people will play and the base gear is all the same. It isn't necessary to have such modularity and it just detracts from the system. For instance, just sew packets for the Nalgene bottles on either side. It will cost less to manufacture, hang better on the side, lower profile, and less weight. If you're worried about limitations then make 2 versions and add one for canteens. It's cheaper, works better, and creates a certain level of commonality that will he helpful when teaming with others. I'm excited for the direction you're taking things.
Can you provide any info on the small/LW looking shelter piece that you show in the packout example? I would be super interested in that for survival purposes. Most shelters are slightly too bulky to carry in an e&e kit
I got two lbv88’s off goodwill for $20 a pop. Put my modern Molle belt on it. Saved hundreds by switching to surplus. Most of us are just enjoying our autistic special interests. Why not save some money.
You pulled out a wind shirt and poncho, surprised you didn't have a change of socks, too. If you're walking, you have to take care of your feet. Every grunt should know that.
Preference really. I’ve tried these old setups numerous times. Can never set them up in any real way that I like them. If the butt pack is too small, you might as well just use a GP pouch or nothing at all. If the butt pack is too big, it makes it a real pain to wear anything other than a daypack. A pain to ride in any vehicles, a pain to access the contents without taking off or moving the belt around, etc. If I had to choose between these old school belt kits, or a 25-30L assault pack for being out for an extended period of time, I’m picking the assault pack every time.
this allows the pack to rest on your belt gear. more comfortable when patrolling or riding atvs and bikes. also carry your personal items on your belt and mission critical in the pack. if you are a casualty , team mates take your pack and drive on without you.
What size dry bag will fit in the buttpack? Didnt see the dimensions on the website, didnt want to buy a dry bag thats too big and difficult to put back in after its been getting rattled around in my ruck and the items inside settle weird.
Been playing around with different configurations. I would like to know how this would work with micro chest rigs or other chest rigs. As for just some 2 or 3 day campout this make a current belt/LBV a lot easier. Forest service can use this as well while fighting fires or searching. The LBV has been used for a lot of different things.
It works fine with regular chest rigs and kit bags, just not with double belts. This setup does remind me somewhat of mystery ranch fire service bags. I even priced one out and its half the price but has limited accommodations for magazines
With just the 34A, all the weight is in the front, pulling that center cross strap up and into you, keeping the harness on you. Once you put weight in the back with the buttpack, that can pull the H harness back off of you. The X is supposed to fix that by crossing the sides that the front and back are supported from
No different from the old alice lbe setup I used in the Army. I still use a h harness with buttback,m16 mag pouches, and a compass pouch. Although I did update with a padded belt with old school pistol belt.
I've been trying to set up my duece gear (same set up as yours), but I must be wearing the backstraps too high. It's putting a lot of pressure on my upper back. I need to have one of my kids help me adjust it for me.
When we switched to the Alice "Y" suspenders, I went out and bought a (new) old "H" suspenders for myself. I kept the old wooden handle E-tool instead of the tri-fold new one.
Get a triple placard from T3 Gear. It has Moller on front so you're adding the capability for mags, and still retaining the molle to put your gp pouches and such up front. I agree it should already come like this but 🤷🏼♂️
See i like the mix match elastic pockets on the back cause i run both 5.56 and 7.62 so it works great for me. If i had to choose one tho id go with a bigger 7.62
190 bucks for a single butt pouch thats proprietary to spiritus systems kit. Get the Fox Outdoor Recon Buttpouch for 40 bucks and you'll have the same roll up internal design and external waterproofing these have, plus more pockets and space, and it can be made to go on any belt/vest. If you want a removable internal bag just buy one that fits for 10 bucks. Now use the rest of the money you saved to buy an Enhanced LBV-88 or a USGI LBV and whatever belt you want + pouches.
A lot of people are noticing that this is kind of a throw back to older gear. I think the thing to take away from that is how war is changing back into what it was
