Out of the hundreds and hundreds of firearms channels, Iron Infidel and Tactical Considerations are my top favorites. As old as I am, I am always learning "a thing or two" from both sources. Highly appreciated, Mike 💪🏼🇺🇲
This and Tactical Considerations are 2 of my favorite channels. This video was SUPER helpful. I didn't evern know EDC backpacks existed. Now I'm shopping around for one. Found one that actually can conceal and carry an AR rifle. Little more than I need but great ot know none the less. Thanks again Mike!
IDK how uncommon it is but carrying a flashlight on your person is a real game changing. I see a lot of guys with a pocket knife but a lot less with a flashlight. I started carrying one 10 years ago and I’m still amazed at how often I use it just. Way more than my knife.
Good call. You should always have handheld flashlight in the car or pocket especially since the new wave of flashlights are compact and bright as the sun
I started carring the streamlight wedge about 4 years ago. Only thing I don't like is you have idea when it will die on you. I started carrying the olight archfield in my truck in case the wedge dies. I takes more than a few hours to charge which is another downside. Light output, size, shape , and control are awsome to me. So I keep carrying it.
Seeing you with the fanny pack sure brought back some memories. In the late 1900’s and early 2000’s my main mode of carry was a fanny pack. I loved it. It carried everything including my wallet (different compartment) gun and spare mag. I’d strap it on going out the door and knew I was set. People really didn’t know if you were strapped or not because they were the fashion of the time. I say bring them back!
I carry a kahr cw9 with an extra mag plus my main phone and my backup phone with a walkie talkie app on it as well as my main pocket knife and an extra just incase. I use a Blackhawk Leather Pancake kydex hybrid holster.
The one thing I carry that nobody else seems to is a Gerber Dime on my keychain. I keep a bigger multi-tool in my battle booty bag, and one in my center console, but that dime being so small, right on the keychain and so useful is bar none the best EDC item in my arsenal.
I just found your channel and I subscribed. Great video also love seeing youtubers that have more then 10k subs interact with their fand but mostly hope yall dont get over 100k subs and forget that fans made yall like so many have done. Anyways great video. Stay safe and God Bless from Oklahoma.
I dont know how many folk run a sharpie marker with them but i never leave home without one. Write times on tourniquets. Write down dierections. Leave notes for people. Just find i use them alot and i like to have one.
For those who don't feel comfortable keeping a round in the chamber/barrel, can you do a video of drawing the gun, racking the slide and then shoot? compared with drawing with a round in the chamber. Do a time test. And maybe the right/wrong way to draw, rack, shoot?
There are a few people that do that. It does take some extra time. Another better option carry a gun with a safety. Like the m17, m&p, or sig 365 also comes with a safety module. Also you can get the striker control device for Glocks. Put your finger on the back of the slide and you can feel if the trigger is moving with this nifty device. If you need your gun you may not have two hands to manipulate the slide or time to rack it off of your belt, shoe or other item.
The new comedy approach is a fresh take, but tbh when I think k of you or see you I see more of the straight no BS this is how it is influencer. Sometimes though molds are meant to be broken. Either way thank you for your support in the 2a community and I’m always looking forward to the next video.
I know it's a pisstake but calling police and medical services before your lawyer so 1- it looks good that you're trying to get the offender medical aid because you don't want him to die and 2 - providing a description of yourself so that any police that have probably been called by other onlookers have a cleared picture and there's less likely to be mistakes considering others have likely provided your description as shooting someone and there's no guarantee they saw the offender with a knife
This is absolutely correct. If you want to look bad ( even though you might be justified ) call a lawyer 1st. I remember a case where this happened the DA took note of that and never let it go. I believe it was justified. Only tell them the facts and then call your lawyer. Your phone might still be recording after the 911 call
Also NEVER provide a description of yourself. That is suicide advice. I worked in the pd for a bit and we use descriptions only for suspects to attempt to catch
@@jason200912 my 1st thought is if you have the misfortune of having to defend your life perception is extremely important. A DA will be deciding if they want to prosecute. I heard a lawyer talking about an instance where a DA knew it was justified but because of the way it looked. (because it could put a feather in his hat). He took it to trial. Well you are not breaking the law by calling a lawyer 1st. They are going to ask why you didn't call 911 1st? “You were so scared for your life you called a lawyer and not the police?!” you do you . after watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial that never should’ve gone to trial. Why because of the publicity.
Great video 📹 👍!!! I would say avoid the fanny pack. I carried my Glock and two mags and my badge/ID in the early 90s. It screamed LE. I conceal everything now. The homeless and bad guys are carrying backpacks 🎒. So, a small backpack might blend in. I do carry three knives. Two folders and one fixed. The exact same one that you have. Tango Yankee!!!
I just added frontiersman bear spray to my Edc ..i carry a Glock 19 in boston , but if i can avoid using my gun i want to .. plus bear spray i want to use so .. criminals F around and find out ...i need a test subject for my new Peice of kit
Great video. I'm a revolver guy so I carry two. I shoot them better, and I'm old. I also carry a small esee izula straight blade, and of course a streamlight flashlight.
Okay but the joke about stowing an AR in your pants just reminded me of a police video I saw the other day where they shot a suspect carrying a CZ EVO on their waistline of a pair of board shorts.

One of the best things I've heard. If you wouldn't go there without a gun don't go there with a gun. Hot take if you call your lawyer 1st you are gonna look really really bad. Call 911 1st.
@@IronInfidel I get what you are saying. I think we are leaving out how much perception can and likely will be an issue here. My thought is I want to avoid looking interesting to the DA. If you or your viewers are in my jury then I’m golden. I don’t suspect that will be the case.
Only one difference from your shooting incident scenario. Call 911 medical They all listen in so as soon as paramedic is on-line you can bet the Police aren't far behind. It also adds to your case, you don't intend to kill the threat, but neutralize it.
I had to rewind and playback the last few seconds to make sure that you didn't 'infringe' on "Iron Mike" Tyson's copyright? 🤣🤣 I carry at all times 2 doggie poop bags and a paper towel!! 😁
Multi tool, lighter, fingernail clippers and a toothbrush. You just never know. I carry in my Jeep a "Daddy bag". It has everything else. I carry appendix. To old, to tired to carry any where else. Don't forget suspenders cause all this crap is heavy.
I carry like I trained like I did for years. I carry OWB, with a shit ton of back up mags, the handcuffs aren’t needed 7 years post retirement. I used a light cover shirt that conceals a tricked out G-34 with optic in a kydex holster and 247 gr. hollow points. The 5 back up mags are all plus 5 rounds. I had to come close to using it the other day. I watched a full on thug rubber neck me and my grown daughter loading groceries in her trunk for my old man birthday. He sees my grey beard and cane and my daughter and thinks “victim.” He tried the sociopath, “How you do’in today?” I snapped my shirt open shirt open ready to draw, “How are YOU doing today?” He ran like a scalded dog. I swear people more grey than me had a chuckle.
@@jason200912I wasn’t in the mood to be stabbed in the kidneys and my daughter carjacked. As a former SEAL who was one my Instructors at an academy said, “I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.”
In the last year I have seen No people carrying a fanny pack other than women and those were obviously carrying their phone and keys and packs were tiny and they were wearing skintight workout clothing.
Fanny packs seem like a bad idea. Wouldn’t be hard for a bad guy to grab the bag away from you and rip it away and you with it. I would much rather carry using an IWB holster.

glad you like it.

We decided to have some fun.
A great video with plentiful memes and comedy included to highlight the points raised.

There are tons of instances of people failing to rack because their other arm was grabbed by an attacker or by their dating partner. Don't do it.
