In the *old corps*, we were taught to ECHELON our gear. Fighting load goes on the body. Ammo, power bar, water. The assault pack (sustainment load) is for replacement of those items if/when you use them. Your ruck sack (existence load) is for those items you need for health and comfort. Far too many of these “look at all the random cr*p I thought of to put in this bag” videos.
Another great video and tips. Well thought out content and presentation. I’m not part of a M group. But I am part of immediate and extended family, and have like minded friends. So my setup is for protection first, then defense of others, and maybe last as an auxiliary to support my local Sheriff’s department. So, we have the Right to open carrying in my State. Therefore my primary system is a belt kit that lives in a gym bag. It holds a Glock pistol and a spare mag and supports 4-5 riffle mags. And other items to get me by for 24 hours. As well as a bump helmet and light weight foam knee pads. I also have a small roll up day pack to put the helmet, water, rain or warming layer, and chow in. But it could hold team gear as well. A separate gym bag has the resupply to my belt kit and stays in my vehicle. My ALice is for bugging out on foot from home to get to several locations, and holds extra ammo, 72 hours of food, clothing and sleep items. While a large duffle and tubs in my vehicle will help me set up home temporarily away from my residence for a month. I do have a small diy chest rig that can hold a front plate during vehicle transport or static defense.
Folding saws rock but I'm still a big fan of small tomahawks. Pounding stakes, digging, breaching, prying, splitting wood (likely beyond a 24 hour gig). The Cold Steel hawks are very decent- a cut down Trail Hawk with the OEM sheath is lightweight, compact and affordable. I have them everywhere. I forget the brand (Neutrogena?) but I really like that water resistant, rubbery medical tape. It can serve as a bandage and you can cover hot spots on your feet. I've used it for years working outside, well worth it.
I set up a FILBE assault pack with all the trimmings, then found out it won't sit right with my plate carrier on. Now I'm looking at the medium MOLLE 2 pack.
Finding a pack to fit a carrier can be a challenge. I have found my Camelbak Lincpin and HAWG fit me great with my carrier. I also have the Marine ILBE assault pack and it doesn't sit right on me with my carrier on.
My 24r pack setup has an extra pair of Soffes, power bank to keep my phone going for livestreaming teotw on IG, makeup kit for touching up my clown costume, 2ltr bladder filled with Jim Beam (cause JD is white trash), squirt gun, wet wipes, a rape whistle, half-gallon ziploc of Topo Chico bottle caps, 8 pack of Roman candles, 24pack of crayons and a designer face mask. All extra space is filled with Gummi bears. No need for a fire kit when there's dumpster fires burning in all directions!
Chem lights can be used for signaling other units or aviation support, marking out a LZ at night, used for marking doors during room clearing, mark infrastructure points like tent runners. Etc.
Great info! Have you looked at the British/Dutch Bergens? They have 10 liter PLCE pouches that zip on the sides of their packs. You can take these off and use a yoke to make a 20 liter daypack. What are your thoughts on a system like that?
If I had to nitpick I would say that I didn't feel some the gear necessarily fit the categories you placed them in (saw in admin, comms in sustainment, etc.) & in my experience those chem lights wouldn't pass a shakedown but overall good kit & good content. A lot better than most on the tube. Liked & subbed.
Thanks for the support! Yea a lot of gear seems multi-category sometimes and eventually you just have to pick a spot for it to go in. This video is a little out dated at the moment as far as my official pack set up. 2023 will bring some updated videos
I’d like to segue onto that chemlight note: not only would those external mounted Chemlights not make it through a shakedown, they’re likely to get snapped and “burn out” during the bag’s standard storage and usage.
I mean an assault Pack 24h Pack or Bugoutbag is a huge different right? Assault im using as a mil guy for an objectiv. 24h is for patrolling and bugout im using for exfil from something to somewhere.. Its definetly not the same
You should create a Document with the list of bag contents, especially the home made mre

lol
Pen and paper don’t exist where you live?
The pencil sharpner is a great idea for making easy to burn tinder! Good job on the video, very informative.

I got issued that same sewing kit back in 1996!

Mole skin?
What about a Mattock?
great information! well-thought-out and clearly conveyed. keep it up!
Thank you for the support!
I like wrapping my lighters in about a meter of duck tape. Makes them essentially one item.
Awesome vid man. Shared this with a few of my guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hell yeah fam!!! Love this video. Much blessings from The Burns! 🤘🏽
Hey old friend 🤙🏼
Train more so I don't have to hear you complain about it. What a legend 😂
Someone had to say it 🤷🏻♂️
Great kit brother....

Toss in some Kendal Mint Cakes - The chocolate covered ones last a long time. Jolly Ranchers as well. Those last forever.
Thanks for making the video.
Liking this before Ive watched it purely based on the awesome RED DAWN reference 😁
This is the way
I this is possible a time issue but would of liked to go through the wepon kit.
QUESTION.....do you carry your pistal kit in the same weapon bag ?
My 24r pack setup has an extra pair of Soffes, power bank to keep my phone going for livestreaming teotw on IG, makeup kit for touching up my clown costume, 2ltr bladder filled with Jim Beam (cause JD is white trash), squirt gun, wet wipes, a rape whistle, half-gallon ziploc of Topo Chico bottle caps, 8 pack of Roman candles, 24pack of crayons and a designer face mask. All extra space is filled with Gummi bears. No need for a fire kit when there's dumpster fires burning in all directions!
where'd you get the pack cover?
When I'm putting my pack together, it always changes and all comes down to three things for me; Mission, Terrain, and Season.
Good job!!
Packing monocular or binoculars? Just checking.
QUESTION ...Whats the deal with running cem lights i seen a A-Team channel were he stated he wouldn't mention what there used for.
Chem lights can be used for signaling other units or aviation support, marking out a LZ at night, used for marking doors during room clearing, mark infrastructure points like tent runners. Etc.
@@EverydayCitizensTactical OK thank you.
Does the pack fade from the dark brown to a lighter color? I'm thinking or soaking in the pool then sun drying it over and over. -Thanks
General wear and use from both dirt, rain, sunshine, so on… will fade the color yes.
How many liters is in the backpack?
Great info! Have you looked at the British/Dutch Bergens? They have 10 liter PLCE pouches that zip on the sides of their packs. You can take these off and use a yoke to make a 20 liter daypack. What are your thoughts on a system like that?
I can’t say I am familiar with it. However, I do like adding additional pouches to my packs to prioritize or categorize gear.
@@EverydayCitizensTactical it seems like a cool system. I like multiple pouches too.
If I had to nitpick I would say that I didn't feel some the gear necessarily fit the categories you placed them in (saw in admin, comms in sustainment, etc.) & in my experience those chem lights wouldn't pass a shakedown but overall good kit & good content.

what brand is your backpack?
This is a USMC surplus ILBE pack (commonly referred to as marine corps assault pack)
What size tarp
why would you leave the chem lights in the wrapper?
Very late reply. But chemlights degrade when exposed to light. Leaving them in the packaging extends their shelf life drastically.
WOLVERINES 🇺🇸💪🏽
wat are those 4 tubes on ur bckpack?
Chem Lights
What smokes are you running?
A mix of smokes but I primarily run IWA International currently.
@@EverydayCitizensTactical I run those and the thermobaric distractors. LOL
I mean an assault Pack
24h Pack or
Bugoutbag is a huge different right?
Assault im using as a mil guy for an objectiv.
24h is for patrolling and bugout im using for exfil from something to somewhere..
Its definetly not the same
all that for 24 hours is wayyyy to much. maybe say 72hrs. what school of thought or branch develops a need for that much gear for one day 😂
Think operational environment, not simple survival or Bushcraft.
The idea also being you bring this pack for a 24 hour duration, most operations take way longer than intended and can go south quickly
@@EverydayCitizensTacticalyou said civilian needs. otherwise, comms, batteries, ammo, water, spare mre main.
@@donavanperry1928he states civilian needs. I carry far less now for 24hrs than I did on patrol in the Army. simply because i have less shit
Holy F*** 😕 can u get on with it
12min of WHA'! WHA WHA! "WHA WHA WHA"! "WHAA WHAAA"😵
