  • Fighting gear is for fighting! Fighting is hard enough without wearing stupid stuff. Follow the pros and split your fighting and sustainment load!
    I got a little lost in the sauce looking at peoples LBE's and patrolling rigs and some have lost the forest for the trees! I go over a couple of the big fouls that I found in other peoples gear.
    I hope you enjoy this video as its just for entertainment!

      He misses the application for a pistol. Its a backup weapon, not backup ammo. Pistols are excellent because they're super reliable and a lot of holes in a small package. Something happens to your rifle, you're going to really sincerely wish you had a pistol instead of 3 more rifle mags. But he is right that a pistol isn't for fighting. Its for staying alive.

      I have old ALICE gear like we had in the army 40+ years ago. I have TWO canteens on my belt, because I can't remember the last time I WASN'T thirsty. And 4 ammo pouches with the grenade pockets removed, instead of 2. That way I have 390 rounds of ammo instead of the standard 210. You can never have too much ammo, unless you're swimming, or on a long march. I never did amphibious operations, and I'm only walking as far as I have to. I have a butt pack with a triangle bandage that makes a great headband, and scarf or snipers veil, along with a signal whistle and wooden matches. That's about it. It's mostly empty so I can add whatever I need to, whenever I need to. Using 55 grain bullets instead of 62 grain saves a total of 6.25 ounces. Ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain.

    Great video, other than the single-minded approach to body armor. It’s a tool, and is applicable depending on the situation, just like any other tool. A slick carrier can be stored in the ruck and then taken out and worn under your LBE rig right before hitting the OBJ. It significantly increases survivability with the only downside being ~11lbs of extra weight in the ruck.
    If you’re fit, you can utilize body armor without it slowing you down or hindering your litefighter mission

I've had some good success with my 556 rigs with 3 30 rounders in each of the smaller mag pouches, and try to dedicate one of the larger ones for ammo aswell. I can squeeze in 3 40 rounders into the back pouches. One common denominator in all gun fights is whoever runs out of ammo first loses.

    In my opinion, if you are a civilian (like me) with the intent of doing cool guy high speed light infantry shenanigans for whatever wet dream scenario you envision, and you are running steel or any form of heavy plates in a plate carrier, then you already did it wrong. Plate carriers should be as little added weight in comparison to an LBE rig as possible. BUT you should absolutely have the capability to both shoot things, and not get shot, whether that be bullets or frag or whatever. Lots of America is woodland. Lots of America is winding suburbs. Lots of America is happening at ranges sub 100 yards. I don't personally like the idea of getting caught with my panties down and no plates because I was too sissy to actively train to carry them. But thats just my uneducated view point. Maybe if you are in states like Colorado or Arizona with massive flat open terrain, that philosophy has a little more wiggle room. But South East United States is too risky.

      @@LFAnon I wear body armor almost daily for professional reasons. The gig theoretically shouldn't require it, but I wear it just in case. I've had far too many close calls to be comfortable not wearing it. So I get lots of time behind plates (sometimes just soft armor panels) that many civis don't.
      That said, I'm not sure where the disconnect is with war fighting and plates for alot of guys. Where do you see yourself operating in a light infantry capacity wherein you aren't thinking "I ought to be wearing plates"? I understand that the point is to not get shot at in the first place (obviously), but is it not the nature of the beast that somewhere sometime you're bound to?
      That was the point I was making with the whole getting caught with my panties down thing. I wear armor not because I believe I necessarily always need it, but simply because I could very well POSSIBLY need it, just as easily as not.

    Just found your channel man good stuff! Definitely done every mistake out there and always learning and experimenting. Is hard to say what future conflicts/unrest will look like and also so many different philosophies and practices (I’m literally not an expert in anyone lol). I have my nixieworks Lightfighter rig that’s pretty versatile in that I could carry just a crap load of water and ammo or a lot of special equipment. I also have a modded flc rig that’s pretty much in line with what you said. Different arguments can be made if your just doing simply area patrols with a very low threat expectation but if things have gotten bad enough ammo,water, throwables, comms, things to win the fight is all you need on your kit.

    To carry more ammo instead of a sidearm is a good way of thinking. Some times though shit happens, imagine something important breakes on your rifle and makes it useless along with all your ammo, that's gonna be a pretty bad situation. Then again it's up to you to decide what you take with you depending on what you think you'll need. You can never predict exactly how a fight is gonna be. Still a modern pistol with 15+ rounds capacity with 1 or no extra mags might be enough to protect you. If you have a rifle carrying 2 or more extra pistol mags might be an exaggeration.

      The best most reliable plates are steel plates despite what anybody has told you and they're heavy and they'll always be heavy. No Way around It. You can buy ceramic plates but they don't work quite as good as steel plates. They work well enough but they have an expiration date less than 10 years then you're replacing them which makes steel superior unless you want to fork out a fortune. Steel is still the best thing out there because it's the only thing that can take multiple hits and still keep on going but again it's heavy.

Climbing slings/loops are useful. Be fit to fight. Anything on your front you will land on when you hit the deck, and be a PITA when Leopard crawling. Agreed no need for some whopper chopper knife, though a Glock Knife or JP Pelternen M95 are light weight and take no room up on the belt order; or just carry a folder in your pocket.
