"This is what I invaded Iraq with."
Marines: We are still issued those.
ALLIED MBSS
Sheeet; I invaded in a woodland IOTV, iron sights M-16A2, and no door on my Humvee lol
"Marines make due" lol
I’ll 2nd that one
@@Johnny_Cash_Flow Why no doors? That doesn't sound.....safe?
Only, Marine infantry (nobody cares about the POGs) are going to be carrying a lot more with them then what he had.
I love that he is humble and recommends cheaper gear to train with.
One of the very few guys I’ve heard not talk badly of airsoft grade gear
If you're training and going to ruin your shit, go for it. Unless you have money to waste there is no crime in buying training aides. You'll always get kit wankers who talk shit (usually guys who have never served) but if you're out there improving that's all that counts.
And if you really think about it your average airsofter uses their gear a lot more often than your average gun guy
Yakeda makes great airsoft-spec vests, theyre not flopy nor thin as other no-brand or rebranded stuff, my only compaint are the non removable pouches, but they work fine
yea and now there is good clothes like g3 copies from idogear and ofcorse emersongear and others and i think the copy red dot mounts keep good 0 with real round
One guy at Lewis McCord gave me great advice. Save money by getting a cheap Condor or used carrier, take it to the Korean seamstresses at one of the off post cleaners, have her do a double stitch job on the areas that could potentially rip/come apart and voila' you have something almost as strong as a Tactical Tailor/Redback/Ferro rig that can be run hard at a class or on deployment.
Tactical tailor chest rigs aren’t very expensive I got mine in 04 before my 1st tour and it lasted 3 1/2 years in Iraq and a few NTC/JRTC rotation, but getting any gear re-enforced but Koreans off post is a good idea
Sounds like it would be easier to just buy a rig that is built right the first time around that’s a good quality kit.
Did the same thing at FT Bragg. The Korean sewing shops re enforce and modify everything.
I'll still to shell back. That 1000 count thread count makes a big difference. Idk, I'm too poor to buy cheap.
@@grunt2926 1000 thread count is getting phased out, most newer PCs are using 500D, along with other modern materials, such as laminated nylon, plyable substrates, and other new developments. 500D is strong enough for most plate carrier applications.
Always good to hear real operators cut thru the gun industry theater...👏...bravo
Do you ever watch vigilance elite?
@@AstralApophis yeah hes a hoot. Lol
"Just in case that WMD was real."
*big smile*
half a million iraqis lost their lifes over that little joke
@@DirtbagOi Blame Saddam pal.
@@michaeld.4521 Nah Ill blame Bush and Cheney for leading our friends to death for nothing
Shawn Wiegel you are correct. There really were chemical weapons there. Saddam did after all use them against the Kurds too. But the one thing people miss is that the reason Saddam had chemical weapons was because the CIA sold them to him. Terrorist groups after the Iraq war later found stockpiles of the chemical weapons too.
@@NorthwestMariner you clearly have no knowledge about it lol
“Here’s your gas mask pouch, in case that wmd was real... we thought it was real”
I felt that harder than i should have. Sorry man.
@Mark Cochiolo there never was any wmd man
@Mark Cochiolo spilt milk and all that man, no biggie. Ppe is important no matter what i get that. Hindsight being what it is makes people cynical, apologies. No place for doubt.
@@bennorth9758 tell that to the Kurds in Northern Iraq and the Iranians from the Iran/Iraq War.
@@recondo886 Yes, all of which happened nearly 15 years prior or longer. WMD was an excuse.
@Mark Cochiolo Brother, what is that double knife sheath and knife?
Hobby Shooters with a beer belly: *You need a 10.000 USD plate carrier from crye precision with only pouches from crye, minimum price for each pouch 200 bucks and a minimum of 50 pouches in order to succeed*
Actual Navy Seal: 50 bucks replica carriers are alright, around 5 pouches for 50 bucks works too and that‘s it
In Europe we have a company called Tasmanien tiger which produces fake eagle products.... We got some of their stuff issued. Used them for years without a problem
I'm thinking about buying Russian pouches because eagle AK pouches are expensive and I think SSO produces better quality than condor at nearly the same prices
@@portingfreak Dutch army I'm guessing.
Damn straight, some airsoft gear is solid as hell. And you can throw some loctite or some shit on the stitching to make it last just a bit longer because it's cheap and you don't care.
@@frankpolly He's German.
This guy, man... This guy. Leaps and bounds above every other "tactical guy" on yt.
My SpecOps run ended 40 years ago. I’m disabled and frequently in a wheelchair nowadays. I’m absolutely amazed at the goodies available to an operator these days. That air soft would be all I’d ever come close to needing. I learned a great deal about overloading my pack on LRRP operations. It’s very easy to load too much!
That’s cool, what was your unit? And how was gear back in the day compared to today?
FebriyanWP Vietnam era.
Michael Honeycutt hats off to you. 👍🏼
I had a good run. Understand exactly where you're at. Take care brother.
My dad was Vietnam, my brother and I GWOT vets OIF 1 and 2, OEF. Thanks for your dedication to our country. Wishing you well and be safe.
Love how he’s keeping it simple ... peep the old mich 2001 helmet
its fairly easy to mod 2000 MSA ACH into 2001 - just remove the band, cut the "ears" glue the rubber cover back - and bang! 50$ helmet becomes 300$ helmet :D Did like 10 helmets like this and scored a lot of money on selling them (ofc not as 2001 but modded/cut 2000s)
@@Pentazemin44 Same. They were super easy modifications. I did the same on Ebay for a while before they got dumb and erased gun stuff.
Personally though, call me crazy but I like the full cuts. Just imagine it is that much fragmentation that isn't poking your brain bucket. No one gets to tell the story of when they didn't have enough armor.
You can also pick up an old CVC shell and make a SOHAH/FAST helmet. I’ve made a few of those. You can pick up shells for around $50+s/h now.
On that topic. One of my buddies had an airsoft reproduction Crye CPC with 8lb plates in it that is now on its 4th or 5th year. It's holding up better than some of the "real" plate carriers we've had.
There are some good ones, like the Emerson or Idogear repros, and there are some awful no-name brands that have bad stitching all over the place
I still run condor pouches that are more then 10 years old i bought used and there still in good shape :)
that is true
define "real" carrier lol
I love how chest rigs are referenced to Rhodesian respect bro makes me proud to be half Rhodesian and half South African
Like it. Knife, ammo, medi-shit, multi-tool. Only thing I would add is I always have a couple of small rocks in my pocket. Because if you're not looking my way, and need to be looking my way. I don't want to have to hunt for something to hit you with.
I still rock the 'old' AR mag pouches, lol. Excellent presentation and the way COCH keeps things similar between rigs.
I know I’m very late but just saw this great video but laughed out loud when he spoke about the “man dress” cutting tool…… epic 🤦
Thank you. Learned a lot.🙏
🇺🇸
Awesome info. Thank you for your service! Keep the info vids coming
I could say a lot but the thing I want to say most is thank you for your service!
"Just because there's exposed MOLLE doesn't mean you need to put another pouch on there", LOL...still laughing about that one. Good advice on this video and I appreciate the emphasis on "know your mission" and let that be your guide as to what you put on there. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
love his smooth no bullshit demeanor!!! Great instructions🦅🦅🦅🦅🪖🪖🪖🪖🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
GREAT INSTRUCTION MARK, THANK YOU
I’ve learned so much from you guys listening to your TH-cam channel I have so much respect for you thank you for all you’ve done for our country and thank you for helping people to learn how to deal with situations of war 🤘🇺🇸☘️
The internet is offended at how simple and practical your plate carrier setup is....tsk tsk
How dare he...
I actually model mine after his but with changes we don’t have inside plate Ifaks
But three double mags in the front
One administration pouch chest
No pistol so my bag (is the canteen pouch don’t carry canteen) on the right side
Ifack left side
Attach hydration system in the back instead of backpack and it works great for me to be honest
Best answers to a complex problem are simple solutions
@@GHOST-zy3ji In other words your set up is nothing like his at all.
@@GHOST-zy3ji Do u know what PC hes using in this vid?
Love the MIB references!!!! Thanks for the great information!!!
At first it took me a while to figure out how to work the straps but once I did, this baby carrier is fantastic. It’s lightweight and easy to pack. I feel like the baby’s weight is distributed well. My back does not hurt after using it. My granddaughter seems very very happy in it. I’m able to get things done around the house and my wrists are saved. Highly recommend!
Calm, cool, factual and collected. They had way better logistic and support than what we used to have. Would go nowhere without water and spare batteries.. and more ammo..
Thank you for your service friend,an good information, best regards.
"How much is your life worth?"
Me: About $3.50.
GSW? Spit it, wrap it, and walk it off son. lol
Well it was about this time when I realized that J. Rico was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the paleozoic era...
Tree fitty!
Your ahead of me by $2.50 !
I think you mean "tree fiddy".
I’m a huge fan of my jpc, it’s not an actual crye one but it holds same plates just fine, I can run it with a pack to fit the job. I love that damn thing. It’s super compact and slim but you can add really whatever u want
I just thought I'd watch cuz I have free time. Good solid advice sir, n thank you for your efforts n manyyy nights away from home plate. It's a tough gig with a family. I am a ole paradog myself, yet not as elite tier 1 group guy. 38yrs ago, my body is totally shot up n have a few holes in my sails. My lineage took me into Red Boots which was my best time with my brothers.
I know each military force have their standard load out n gear. But we were given Black Jack's for team guys. I snaked mine in with my aft helmet load to balance out. An additional one dedicated to a summer rig much like yours you shown. It saved my life 2x, an I wish the US Brass would except it as a life saving tool vs too violent to issue. I would never go into battle with out my Jack. Every soldier worldwide should be issued one imho. Shalom Ty
@@rickeytwolegs2112 yes
You see a lot of these guys with stuff on all messed up and as* backwards, when you had to wear it you get an understanding of what you're willing to carry around!
Patch kit behind the plate. Smart shit right there. Thanks for that one.
great video mate, laughed my ass off.... bringing back memories as a young squaddie.... your master tradesman skills shining through.
Thank you for your service SIR..Thanks for your vid..
he's seems like a very relaxed straight forward guy unlike the other video
Excellent presentation by an expert.
For the ones that dislike the video you have not been to war this man now what he is talking about.
Well done on the advice 👏 👍
Bravo_Zulu! That was a VERY Good Presentation!
Buying my first plate carrier soon and this video helped me make a more educated decision on what to get. Thank you for the info and uploads
go for crye avs or jpc, cannot go wrong with these two (owned both)
@@Pentazemin44 Do u know what PC hes using in this video?
Great vid! "Less pouches, you are gonna fill it with something." Ounces to pounds, pounds to pain.
thanks for practical data!
These guys are the real deal
You gotta work with what you got, that classic kit definitley makes me think of my Kandahar set up. Heavy, cumbersome and constantly changing to suit mission needs.
Older guy that knows how to blend and combine old with the new I like this
I personally like my carrier super minimalist and completely bare. Then a chest rig over it. That way I can take armor off and my setup is exactly the same.
Love your videos im new to the channel first let me say thank you for your service if you got info on blade fighting would be interesting to see a seals input
Thank you. Love to learn from the 'Been there done that' men
Good advice!
Love Coch's advice.
Awesome video and great advice on gear setup! To true that pockets collect things, keep it as slick as possible.
Question: On your Iraq Kit, what is the DCU item rolled up on the bottom?
Bad ass! I set mine up just about the same way, I keep my chest seals in my pant cargo pockets and tourniquets on the carrier but having all the med gear inside is really a great idea. Especially to protect your shit form the elements
Thanks again Coch.
Outstanding video, subscribed! 👍
Awesome, thank you!
threw experiences i learned ammo and water where always what i needed
I have a Rothco plate carrier. Its pretty solid. It hasn't failed me yet and it didn't break the bank.
It's just awesome, I actually pay attention.
Very good video.
great Info
thank you for your service by the way 🇺🇸
I think a very safe rule of thumb for going outside the wire was "if you don't want to carry it 15 miles in 105 degree heat, don't bring it." You could always spot the combat virgins by how they strapped every damned bit of gear they owned to themselves like a walking gear issue reciept.
Ounces equals pounds, pounds equals pain. The real salt dogs always just had weapon, plates, mags, water, food, comms, nods, an IFAK and batteries.
Yep, shit gets heavy QUICK........I Laugh when I see Cops with 80lbs of shit on their vest.......dude you look like a fuckin Fool! And could probably BARELY make it 300ft before gassing out and some Crackhead just Left you in the dust....
I like that WMD joke! Great talk about the kit
That ifak placement is awesome
This is the first time I’m seeing someone with medical equipment behind the plate. Great idea!
Great video! Putting the patch med kit inside th plat Carrier is a great idea! What kind of watch/wristband is he wearing? Looks like he has 2 different watches in one wrist.
Great advice. The Airsoft Carrier he was showing is the Condor Cyclone, its a U.S made plate carrier.
I have that one it’s pretty good quality , I would recommend better shoulder padding, Amazon sells Eagle should pad a set of 3 for like 10$
Adam Beeson , it condor and a lot of people consider them air soft gear but it’s made in the USA and it’s high quality , it’s only air soft gear if you play air soft
@Adam Beeson you still put your plates there, good quality for the $$$
You Morons, he's reviewing an ACTUAL plate carrier, you know for WAR!
ma rine lbt? No one to truly tell. Your right regardless tho, just wanna know what brand for price costs and whatnot
Oh man you were cracking me up.
And here I am, 0555 in the morning watching this like it applies to me; a vet who never got deployed. Like this will some how fill the void of my feelings of inferiority.
f
It's still good knowledge to have for a major societal collapse...Whether that means defending your home, mobilizing with a local militia, being deputized by local police, etc...
In Iraq in 2003 after being shown videos of nerve gas, etc. I was scared shitless of not being able to get my MOPP gear on fast enough.
I think the one thing that came along and has continued the development of plate carriers has been ceramic material plates, steel is robust and long lasting but it’s heavy, uncomfortable and a bit dangerous for comfort, lightweight and fitment a curved ceramic plate does wonders, I upgraded my front plate to a ceramic plate and I won’t ever go back sure it’s more expensive but I’d argue that it’s worth it just because it’ll save your back and knees
Great advice 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff 👍 clean, simple and only what you need.
If anyone watches Garad Thumb his most recent set up is almost identical to this one so that’s how you know is a very effective set up
This guy is 1000x more reputable than thumb.
like your channel just found you.Very nice info.
Woww, I subscribed to your channel since I was looking for information about the plates and I was amazed by the fact that your nick name is identical to my last name Regards from Argentina!
6:23 Devgru Gold Squadron patch!
omg yess
Don’t copy for airsoft kids
I like this guy. Too many of these ex-mil guys try waaaay too hard to be hard, so to speak. I respect a guy a lot more who can be down to earth and chill.
Finally, a down to earth channel/good info.. Thanks!
Could you do a How a Navy Seal setsup their AR's etc like HK416's and things like that?
Hey Coch, thank you for your service and the great content. Which plate carrier lets me wear all my gadgets and trinkets at the same time? I bought all this shit, now I want to wear it all at the same time just to be sure. Love your channel.
Good job MarK
Thanks for the Video,Sir.
As a Watch-enthusiast i would like to know what you are wearing there.
Interesting Piece.
Have a good one.
Hello from a fellow Navy Veteran. I just found your channel and subscribed... Very good information! The tri pack with the Anthrax vaccine we were forced to take has caused my spine to fuse from my neck down. It was first found in my SI joints in 1997. Glad you made it home without any serious body injuries!
Digging your watch set up. Whats going on there? I use an automatic analog and Sagin Instruments compass but I like the addition of the digital on your inside wrist for all the other stuff.
Keep it light
Keep it simple
Think in your mission
Think in you job in the team
And run an empty pistol mag ‘just in case’ 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Good job
I remember wearing early version of the IOTV with the pull chord. wore pouches enough to hold 7 full mags, a seat belt cutter, pouch for NVG's, admin pouch, Camelback attached to the back of the IOTV and Antropene/2 pam chloride on side in the event we got slimed. with everything worn came close to 120lbs of gear. not counting breaching kits, rifle and sidearm.
are you serious? how can you be combat effective with basically carrying a dude (alright maybe a girl) on your back?
@@fuckingpippaman by not being a skinny pussy, thats what military teaches you from day 1
@@fuckingpippaman It all comes with the territory. I did it for 4 deployments. Jumping on and off my Tank and M1165 Hummer. As a part of the breaching team I carried extra. not once did I complain. Discipline is the key to success in the military.
@@Pentazemin44 . Exactly. They teach you discipline and the basic know hows to start your career. I gained weight and weighed about 225 on all 4 of my deployments. carrying that stuff did a toll on my body but not once did I ever complain. even went as far as carrying 1200 round of 7.62 in my assault bag and lugged my M240B around on dismounted patrol. I never wanted a partner to lug my shit around.
Kid I grew up with, his father jumped a BAR in WWIi. Supposed to be a two man crew, second guy humps the ammo. His died on day 1 of the war. He did the full ride solo, carrying rifle and ammo. STUD.
If you want to test out your gear, hit your local airsoft field for the day. You'll learn real quick how you want to set things up!
completely agree, made a few adjustments to my kit and removed a lot of fluff.
I can't even count amount of times I've used airsoft to test and adjust pouch placement!, Sometimes it looks silly but it does help!
I've heard Travis Haley suggest that, and his son, Garand Thumb, suggest that you straight up go camping with your kit on. Both seem like really good ideas.
hard yes. ive seen so many dudes that served fumble through their shit when small bb's are hitting the wall next to them, can only imagine how they wouldve acted if they ever got shot at for real.. but airsoft is super fun.
Couldn't agree more dude. I went to an outdoor game with a LOT of kit on, in 30C weather and less than half way through I was down to weating just a battle belt, boots and BDU.
Great information what about a grid down situation, what type of setup do you suggest especially in the city where you need to move around to gather supplies.
Holy shit, it’s Mr. Cochiolo!
Well you should definitely try and compare them with the IDF plate carier from marom dolphin! Here we use the "Amran" model with an intresting back support system. i have made a review about one on my channel!
Yup
All my carrier rigs are basically all set up the same.
Try to do the same for most of my pistols and M4 rifles.
I still like Old School set up
Love Uniforms NAVY Seal
On the big pack, was that a desert tarp or woobie? Hard to tell. Thank for your service.
"We thought it was real."
The rest of the world knew you were lied to. Hard to fathom that it wasn't anything other than obvious. Love the vid. Very informative.
Shade- Except for all the live anthrax arty that was found and every coalition's intelligence services claiming there were wmd's. Now all those countries may have lied, but to what end then?
This guy is cool. He is actually making think there is a bunch of stolen valor on TH-cam after listening to someone like this guy
The equivalent of setting up your keybindings
ounces make pounds, and pounds make pain. good BLUF review.
Coch, thank you for this rig rundown, but I was wondering if you could advise, what holster system is it that you have a mount for on the side of the carriers you showed us here? I appreciate the great videos!
Cool dude, I’m sure he’s got some stories!
Any suggestions on Knife and scabbards. Solid not flashy is what I am looking for.
Mountains of Afghanistan taught us that weight sucks. You always knew a cherry by his kit and how clean it was.
