My haley with the thing 2 fits everything I need. But I will say that the lunar concept shoulder harness is a game changer. The most comfortable especially loaded.
In regards to the difficulty in pulling out mags with the Haley chest rig I have had the same problem. Magpul mags are difficult to pull out however I use lancer or steal mags in mine and it is much better.
You can heat up those esstac-kywi-like (can't remember if the ones from Haley are the esstac things or not) mag retainers and stretch them out a bit to make them slightly less clingy than the chick from Wedding Crashers. Kind of a pain but when I tried to just remove them entirely from the D3CM and run around, the mags were a little too loose for comfort. Also harder to re-index without those inserts
Brave Castle gear is all great stuff. It’s built well and designed for performance. I own a bunch of their stuff including a BCR. Customer service is excellent, with Renzo you’re not just another face in the crowd.
Wiseman HX Harmness will literally save your life and back can not be beat, surprised I don't see more people running it. It's the best of both worlds without any negative side.
Use a heat gun to loosen the plastic that holds the mag in the Haley chest rig. When warm enough, flex it enough that its snug so you won't lose your breath when pulling out your mag :)
I just ordered the mk5 from spirtus I had the thing 2 I ended up getting giving it to a friend I have a plate carrier but its cheap and has heavy plates in it I do love spirtus products there well made
i got the haley micro rig and I can't stand it. I've used a heat gun for 2 hours and the inserts are still way too tight. Since then I started using a spiritus systems micro fight mkV, it's been awesome. So easy to scale up and down.
Ditch the x and h harnesses. I found them uncomfortable. Got a "padded harness" from Beez combat systems. Have to add the 1" buckles to fit the Haley strategic rigs, but they'll do that on request. So much more comfortable. Plus built in drag handle and molle.
Get the trex arms back strap, the chicken strap is terrible, switched over to the trex one and i cant believe how nice it is and handles weight so well.
Love that Brave Castle setup. It's like having all the benefits of an LV119 with an elastic cummerbund without having to run plates. I'm a fan of the Haley micro, but it makes me feel pregnant, like I have a tactical baby in the front when I wear it. I love the convenience, but it's impossible to go prone if the need were to ever arise. Things to consider.
There is no perfect setup. One thing I found with the bcr1 is that with the tubes I can undo one side and shift it if I need to get lower in the prone.
I just got the Haley micro chest rig to add on to my Drago pack. With a couple of mods, it will work perfectly. The build quality of the rig, though, is not that good, in my opinion. The single stitch job surprised me and is generally sloppy. It is not what I expected. It will be fine until I find another company that is as rugged as the Drago products.
Hahaha well with the cummerbund design you don’t really need expander wings. Also I did say you could build it out just differently and not to the extent of some others. Not a negative just trade offs depending on what’s priority
Reject insanely expensive chest rigs, return to TAPs. 7 mags is a MINIMUM combat load. Tbh, these smaller 3 mag setups could be relpaced by a pair of cargo shorts and a hoodie. You'd be a lot less inconspicuous.
technically in a bugout situation or just SHTF you are not going to take a plate carrier because of the excess wight your get out of dodge gear weapons, ammo, food, water ifak etc. rule of thumb is something like 35% of your actual bodyweight or so I have been told so a chest rig in my opinion would be ideal 35% of bodyweight adds up pretty quick especially for those of us that are out of shape. which brings me to maybe some good content of doing an updated basic SHTF bugout technics and gear and weapons
Entirely depends my man. If you lived in a dense urban environment it might make sense to have a PC to escape the city, even if you are ditching it later.
I think it’s absurd to go willingly into an armed conflict with anything more than a Spiritus Micro Rig with 3 mags. Because if you’re gonna die, you should look like a tier 1 flannel operator while your perforated carcass is laying in a ditch with crappy drawers. Make sure you have your kestrel, laser rangefinder and a GPS in the $79 utility pouch. Because if you’re taking incoming fire, you’re definitely going to want to take time to range the target and dial in your Nightforce optic and take one precise shot. Everyone knows that watching your impact and implementing a holdover to rapidly engage a threat is for noobs, and you’re only an operator if you have your dope chart in your multicam wristband. Don’t be a poser. All those pouches filled with extra mags are for larpers. Your belt should have nothing on it except your sexy plastic holster for a glock with a red dot and flashlight plus 2 extra pistol mags you’ll never use in a fight. Never put any other gear on your hips just because that’s where you’re anatomically best equipped to carry a load. It doesn’t look cool. Everything, including your lunch, wet weather gear, prescription meds, land nav, and night vision, should all be on your chest rig. If it interferes with your reload in a fight and you die from it, it’s only because you didn’t spend enough money going to training courses where some washed up security guard yells at you about your split times and not flicking your safety back on fast enough while you’re rehearsing how to navigate the numerous pouches on your loadout. Get good.
i love my D3CRM, been using it for 5 years. use it for hunting, fishing, hiking, even everyday carry, and range day. i love it.
Heat the inserts over a stove and put the mag in. I find the inserts help with reindexing dramatically.
Haley added new chest rig setups 2 days ago.
Brave Castle looks AMAZING 😍
Brave castle for the win!!!

Are you talking about the HX hybrid harness?

I been running a ready rig love it for its role
Just got one and so far so good. Thinking about adding the admin pouch and being done with it.
@@MDallDayPrepper it disappears under a windbreaker breaker 👌🏻

Always good advice. Thank you!

Get the esstac kywi inserts for the Haley. It’ll work better and it’ll be much less bulk
You should look into Shaw concept rigs
Can I get the link for those AR mags? They look dope.

Try the new Haley mp2 inserts. Might help 🤷🏻♂️
@@charlesl5226 that's what's currently in them. Can't stand them.
@@ghost8six just leave mags in there fully loaded for long time
Have you tried the INVRT Bandoleer AR15 Kit?
Great content.
Thanks!
Beez Combat System makes a nice comberbun for the Haley Strategic chest rig. No more chicken straps.
I love my brave castle it is my favorite chest rig by far they also sent me mine in the small😂
I just had an aneurysm trying to read your hat lol another great vid!
Brave Castle is the one!
Yessir
Your outta Dallas, Texas? 💪
Who makes that 4x pistol insert on your BC Rig? I didn't see it on BC's or Firstspear's site.
Im a hunter so I run the FHF FOB gen2 chest rig and it is modular and has tac options, butni never have seen it represented in the guntube space

Where do I get one of those “Average Joe “ patch
Have you had any experience with unabtanium gear?
How do you mount the medium pouch?
What pouch are you using to hold that flashlight?
Can you attach the Brave Castle to the carrier?
How do you attach this to a PC with no velcro on the back of the thing 2?
What watch did you decide to wear for todays video?
Datejust
@@jimmybrodriguez Nice. Maybe do a little shoutout to each watch you wear when you make a video? Just maybe…Lol
Need a belt regardless to carry duty pistol unless you put it in your chest rig wich im not a fan off
Has bcr1 small been released yet?
Get the trex arms back strap, the chicken strap is terrible, switched over to the trex one and i cant believe how nice it is and handles weight so well.
I’ll check that out for sure
Damn, bro did you just call out Baltimore?…I mean you’re not wrong..but it still stings 😂 Great informative video !

Watching this video while wearing a type 56 chest rig 😭 I'm a damn peasant
Me too
Don't lie to people. You can build the BCR-1 out. The BCR-1 is very versatile and accepts danglers and expander wings.
Hahaha well with the cummerbund design you don’t really need expander wings. Also I did say you could build it out just differently and not to the extent of some others. Not a negative just trade offs depending on what’s priority
So I run a tactical fanny pack. It's like the best parts of a chest rig on your belt.
Qvo tactical has thinking of getting a Fanny pack

………….”operating”…….; another great video; fit your kit
Appreciate it
Peep the datejust
Did you call me fat?
Nah bb
Do a videos after you ride around a big city with your chest rig on and rifle near by. Love to hear how well you do in court and prison
I don’t think they’d let me film and post the video from prison
Mayweather? IV VI?
