I serve in the army of Ukraine, now we are engaged in heavy battles with the Russians, and in the standard scheme I have 7 magazines for the AK-47. Yes, unfortunately the AK-47, and there are still many of them in individual special units. Every day I fire about 700 rounds of ammunition at these savages. Ukrainian land is littered with Russian corpses here.
This made me realize my basic training instructor must have been a JTF2 assaulter even though he never directly said it... he always made us load out with 3 magazines of 27 rounds even though the other infanteers who were section commanders made their guys load out with 6 mags of 30. He also mentioned being part of the 2004 Haiti evacuation and somehow I don't exactly think was was part of his time in the RCR...
We loaded our mags with 28 rounds in the early 90s in Pet before there was a JTF 2. 4 mags and one on the gun. The plastic mags we were issued were probably the reason - nothing like opening your 82 pattern magazine pouch and having all of your ammo pop out like a snake-in-a-can practical joke because the retaining lips broke off your magazine the first time that you hit the ground during an AtoC!
Awesome info brother, in my day we had little other than webbing and a ruck, glad to see the boys are finally able to access the good stuff...God Bless!
Great video brother! I’m always looking at ways to make my kit more stream line didn’t find anything new on the video but was presented very well. Side not to some of the regular grunts and preppers watching who think he’s not running enough ammo. First off he’s apart of a special ops team who will have a decent amount of info on the job they are going to do. There not have 2 day gun fights in the mountains of Afghanistan lol there going in for a specific purpose and like he said as the mission changes so does his kit. Second for the preppers out there put on all your kit and go for a hike and see just how much weight 10+ mags on is then lay down on the ground and see how far away from the ground you are with double stacks. I’ve had the privilege to train with some of the jtf guys and I’m currently working towards my try out. Wear your gear and try new shit never know you might like it!
@Michael Myers having shit at the ready in secure places and carrying all the ammo you own ON you is a big difference. No one will be able to fight when they can barely carry the kit. There‘s limits to stuff like that

I have used bungee on my pistol. Usually engage while climbing in vehicles and easily pops off while conducting direct action type mission on target. Just my thoughts and experience.
Ya, have done so as well. Prefer the safariland ALS system. It's clean, functional and reliable. A bit more so than the bungee. But I do agree with you. It works. Thanks. Have a great day.
SOF operator carries less ammo that a standard infantryman. That aint suprising really, we're talking that a sof operator usually has a very specific mission. They are usually in and out deals, and usually have different kinds of support lined up.
just show and tell, canadians will never have access to this kind of gear under the dictatorship we are currently under, and probably not even after the dictatorship is lifted
Everyone surprised SOF have less ammo then basic infantry units. They rarely miss and are normally in and out/ avoid major confrontation through stealth
Times change. It's not about being prepped for the worst anymore. Since support and info for each mission is much greater than it was in the past, conventional wisdom has found the idea "only take what you'll use" to heart. No one wants to carry around things that won't be used. No one carries night vision on a day trip sort of deal. Ounces add up into pounds eventually, and too many pounds of weight for too long kills my back and my back-pain-free retirement. Anything I can do to lighten the load is always appreciated, especially if the mission allows me to. If your mission has a high likelihood to engage, take as much as you need (which is everything and the kitchen sink). But if you got a recce type mission then traveling lighter is better. Just take what you need.
good lord that has to be the largest Push to talk button ive ever seen for comms. LOL Who the heck makes that? Does it also work as a personal flotation device? LOL
If you are in a big city no more is better of you in a rural area more is better I went black on ammo twice in one fire fight that feeling os one I never want to feel again fear is ok but defenseless is werid
These arguments are hysterical. The MISSION dictates the amount of ammo you carry. Anyone who says you should carry 10+ mags all the time are fools.... or people who dont wear their carriers for long periods of time. Hell some missions, you dont even wear a plate carrier. Let the mission dictate your loadout... not youtube.
RESPECT! Thank you. If we are doing our job correctly, we are in and out without a shot fired. The fact we fight as a team and are 100% accountable for every round fired, promotes the fact we do not simply "spray and pray".
Eh no. Not at least if your in the big army. An infantryman typically has no choice in how much ammo he carries. More over, more ammo is hardly ridiculous for anyone expecting to be in long engagements with the enemy, which the infantry is supposed to fight. Mission specific gear means more weight on top of our regular kit. Not a different loadout.
I tried to put on captions , and it still typed on screen what my American ears heard. You saying Turn-a key ? Or tourniquet? Yes I'm aware how backwards the sound vs typing is , but I thought Loadout was gonna be the word I chuckled on , that being said, all due respect for your service 💯
So is everyone sticking to the same style kit for the most part or are you all carrying different? There is some points to consistency but you also have to be comfortable with your own stuff to meet your style.
I don't remember what that knife is called but the Spartan Blades CQB Tool is very similar but has a more symmetrical ring. The Benchmade SOCP is another but it seems to have a brittle tip. Cold Steel as well as others have similar designs. Cold Steel is probably the best in terms of quality to price ratio. If I remember what this one is I'll post if there is not already a response.
I do not understand the logic behind the medkit on the back. If you get hit and are able to fix yourself, you don't want to be limited on your medical supplies, so your best chances of survival would be using whatever else you have in your bigger bag. If you are hit and can't fix yourself, your buddy doesn't need to grab your medkit from your back, he can grab it the same if it were in an area that is accessible to you. You're just limiting yourself with that setup
+Direct Action Combat Performance Inc Haha, when you pronounce certain words it makes me think of Trailer Park Boys. Can you tell us again what the video was aboot? Just kidding with you, bro. A fine video and at least your gear matches. Whatever load I kit up with, it's a hodge-podge of various camo designs and solid colors. I will be wearing a green pistol belt with my black Glock 21 in a multi cam holster with coyote tan, green, and black pistol mag pouches, a green mag-dump pouch, a tan leather sheath and handle for my KA-BAR, a black ( grip, sheath, and blade) Kershaw Camp 10, a tan MFAK trauma kit, and a large, green meds pouch with a green AK double mags pouch next to a tan one on a Russian Vest Alpha chest rig in the very cool digital flora camo with built in mag pouches behind the MOLLE ( to which, on one of the side utility pouches, I have MOLLEd an ACU Digital 200 round SAW gunner pouch to haul mags in ) mags ranging from black, to orange, to camo mags for my AKM with it's dark, cherry wood looking furniture on a green sling while wearing Urban camo BDUs, and toting my gear in a DPM Dutch ARWY Sting, you get the idea. I just have to ask, 1). What pistol are you running ( make, model, and caliber ), and 2). You don't typically operate with that few extra mags do you? I've said this before but, you can burn more ammo than that breaking contact with a superior force. I carry meds heavy, ammo heavy, so maybe it's me carrying a ton of it and not you carrying too little? IDK. Oh, before I forget, sometimes I find it handy to carry a second mag-dump pouch ( in a different color on the opposite side of my belt, ofc ) for extra storage if I feel I need it. Figured you might find it useful as well, or am I just weird?
Everyone is different. Once the mission-specific kit and equipment was taken care of, I tried to carry as little as possible to remain mobile and agile. Thanks. Hae a great day.
All quality gear is expensive. Take your time and choose what feels good for you and what your requirements are. Avoid buying stuff because it looks cool... buy stuff that will help you.
Question, wouldn't that rear FAK be inaccessible by a medic if you get shot and are on your back? He would have to roll you over or pull you up off the ground to access it
The thought process is the FAK on the back would be extra kit that a buddy or medic could access if needed. Depending the situation, the body armour may be removed to access the wounds anyway if it was me needing the care. Therefore the kit would be available if needed. If I need to perform self-aid, there’s another smaller FAK carried on the gun belt I can access with either hand. Hope this helps.
@@direct_action_combat so basically the kit is there for situations where you could be providing protection or cover (or over-watch or what ever the current tacticool term is the days) for a wounded teammate while a medic tends to them and needs something, its not really meant for you to use, but another to use, just hopefully not on you.
@@superdrew8564 boy you are fucking stupid! cant you read what he said? cant you read what i said? fuck me running who ties your shoes in the morning? reading comprehension, go back to 3rd grade and learn it. dumb fuck.
Been looking for super clean and lighter plate and carrier setup. Informative to see what actual operators use. For the monkey tail, I see the usage but always concerned with any open loop to catch on something. I am only a back pack hunter who solo hunts and uses a portable tree stand. The ammo load out is the combat minimum I've seen, but I like it.
Thanks J, it's a self- locking beener. Much safer than a free-gate beener. Less chance of it catching on something. Something simple to keep you secured to your tree stand. Thanks. Have a great day.
@@direct_action_combat I sucked it up and bought a securing belt and self made drop' protection harness. I never had but one incident with my climbing stand (which twisted to the side on a smaller tree). My securing belt helped me then. Only was an irritating incident, but was still surprised. Hunting solo, it only takes one mistake to make a bad day!
Same here. Everyone was pushing those for a while on TH-cam. My rifle only ever had issues when I was using a hex mag. G.I., various Magpul, Lancer, MFT, and one other brand I can't remember were all solid.
Maybe you don’t understand the meaning of direct action. Direct action means your hitting a target not patrolling around waiting to be engaged. You’re on offence actively hunting the enemy right in their den. You’re going right into the bears cave.
210 (7 mags) is the basic load for all normal soldiers, often times for infantry its 390 (13 mags). Men at his level can carry half that since they can shoot much much more accurately.
You must be watching a different video...i didnt hear aboot. Also you guys do realize Canada has MANY accents right?? Our country is bigger yet you think you're the only ones who have many accents...does every american sound like he's from boston or 'bama?
@snausegman lol what? When was I talking shit? All I said was that Canadians speak differently than Americans, then your bandwagon canuk friend decides to make a stupid ass comment about how Americans all think they're the center of the world, which in no way was what my comment about. So I let him know where he could fuck off too and to stop hating on America just because the Europeans think its fashionable. Ill tell you where you can fuck off too if you want. Newsflash - the Europeans don't accept yall either. We're on our own over here. They will only take help, not give
@snausegman who said you? I said your friend. Jesus christ, you can't read or something? And you're the one who got all pissy. I have said nothing bad about Canada yet, only your friend up in the comments, you and the Europeans. Why you quoting biff from back to the future? you know he's the dipshit in the movie right?
I'm shocked (but not) to read how many people are surprised that special operations carry fewer mags than your basic infantry.
Most of these commenters have only played Call of Duty and/or airsoft.. Marine infantry ensured my back and knees will never be the same.
It's a bad idea you never want to run out of ammo in a gun fight cause it turns into a knife fight
@@trey9971 Depends on the mission. As the man said, this is the basic/everyday loadout.

I never had but one incident with my climbing stand (which twisted to the side on a smaller tree). My securing belt helped me then. Only was an irritating incident, but was still surprised. Hunting solo, it only takes one mistake to make a bad day!
How cai I get this body armour? I want it.
Tyr Tactical. Great company. Durable kit! 100% endorse their kit. Thanks for the questions.

Would you talk about what`s in your pants and other pockets as well as the water situation & maybe food on your person.
Thanks for your time.
not the best way to formulate.
Love to see a Try review by accident! how do you like it vs the regular vests like the CPC, JPC etc.
It's great, thanks. Not bulky and as just a bit heavier than the JPC. Thanks.

Half face blades dagger?
David Mathews yes

Dont like hex mags i had misfeads with that mag only
Same here. Everyone was pushing those for a while on TH-cam. My rifle only ever had issues when I was using a hex mag. G.I., various Magpul, Lancer, MFT, and one other brand I can't remember were all solid.
I always thought 200 rounds is a typical ammo load for direct action. This confuses me
Maybe you don’t understand the meaning of direct action. Direct action means your hitting a target not patrolling around waiting to be engaged. You’re on offence actively hunting the enemy right in their den. You’re going right into the bears cave.
210 (7 mags) is the basic load for all normal soldiers, often times for infantry its 390 (13 mags). Men at his level can carry half that since they can shoot much much more accurately.

He said about NOT aboot you goof
@@lyndonlucier791 he has a stereotypical Canadian accent, u can clearly hear him say aboot lmao
You must be watching a different video...i didnt hear aboot.
Also you guys do realize Canada has MANY accents right?? Our country is bigger yet you think you're the only ones who have many accents...does every american sound like he's from boston or 'bama?

Question?
What about a flashlight?
Or is it on the weapon?
More than likely on the weapon and or headlamp if really needed but they would be running white phosphor night vision in the dark anyway.
Here in Ottawa!? Guday neighbor! Perth here 🤘be prepared. Cheers
Does anybody have any recommendations to a blade similiar to what hes running here?
Canadians approach the English language differently from us Americans
Forgot, America is the center of everything
@@patt3469 go be holier somewhere else. No one asked you, although everyone regularly asks us for help
@snausegman lol what? When was I talking shit? All I said was that Canadians speak differently than Americans, then your bandwagon canuk friend decides to make a stupid ass comment about how Americans all think they're the center of the world, which in no way was what my comment about. So I let him know where he could fuck off too and to stop hating on America just because the Europeans think its fashionable. Ill tell you where you can fuck off too if you want. Newsflash - the Europeans don't accept yall either. We're on our own over here. They will only take help, not give
@snausegman who said you? I said your friend. Jesus christ, you can't read or something? And you're the one who got all pissy. I have said nothing bad about Canada yet, only your friend up in the comments, you and the Europeans. Why you quoting biff from back to the future? you know he's the dipshit in the movie right?
Love the kit! What shoes are those?? Looking for some new solid footwear. Those looks like something that may fit the bill.
Does anybody know what model knife he has on? Been searching with no luck.
What knife is that?
Do Canadian special ops guys apologize after shooting a bad guy or kicking in a door? Great content.

Why Coyote mixed with multi camo?
Because it's not a fashion show? Perhaps?
