Condor MOPC Plate Carrier setup for Combat Militia SHTF TEOTWAWKI WROL

- Sup peeps. Here’s my Condor MOPC running level 4 gubment plates, 8 mags, IFAK, Radio, day pack, and other goodies. I find this PC to be excellent for the money. The Condor MOPC is about the most budget-friendly "hard use" plate carrier that I know of. The MOPC makes a great piece of kit for the modern militia, as a PT rig, for WROL or when SHTF. I use this plate carrier regularly for PT and for training, and after a year, it's still holding up great.

Condor HCB2 Tactical Hydration Carrier MOLLE Day Pack with Bladder - Coyote Tan by Condor Outdoor www.amazon.com/dp/B004Q7HCSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_I9npBbZENYP14
Squid & Bear How far down does the hydration molly day pack with bladder overhang the plat Carrier just wondering how far it overhangs
Rick Smith depending on the plate carrier, you can set it up to ride high above your shoulders or lower down around your belt line.
Thanks for all the Knowledge Bear
+Bear Independent Nice pack and tac vest/plate carrier. It's nice to see another person with the common sense to attach a dump pouch on their vest (I don't bother with armor plates because, like you said, if it doesn't stop rifle ammo it's not worth carrying and those strong enough to defeat rifle rounds are heavy as shit. I pack ammo heavy, so I'd rather utilize the weight and space to carry more ammo. I believe in a bare minimum of 10 extra high capacity mags for my rifle [one of my AKM variants or my M1A most likely and man, it's hard to find good double mag pouches for them. I finally found the Black Hawk tier stacked double mag pouches with shock cord retention for them. I just don't like the 5.56 or 9x19mm rounds in general and anything built on the AR platform in particular] and at least 6 extra high capacity mags for my primary handgun [probably my Glock 21 .45ACP, H&K USP .45 full size, with my Glock 20 10mm somewhere I can get to it fast if I need the heavier power, plus a couple extra mags for it and 2 extra mags for my backup pistol [normally my EDC/CCW pistol, a Glock 23 or Sig Saur P229 .40 caliber, carried in a belly band holster, which has elastic for 2 extra mags, inside my waist band] so my ammo is going to be heavy.
I also believe in carrying enough ammo in vacuum sealed mylar bags labeled by caliber, to reload every mag I carry [which is more than what I consider bare minimum of extras, generally way more] at least once). I would be carrying more of everything in vehicle, but you have to be prepared to hoof it and those are the weapons I'd take with me. For toilet paper, have you seen those TP tablets. Canadian prepper turned me on to those. I thought they were some king of gag until he demonstrated them. They come in red, watertight, plastic tubes of 52 (iirc) count each. They're about the size of a double thick Alka Seltzer, and you just dampen them and they unfold into a sheet of butt wipe about half the size of a paper towel. They're awesome, pack light, and barely take up room in your ruck. Just a suggestion I thought you and your viewers could use.
I pack a bit differently (as you said, it's all up to you and what you and your gear can handle), and set up my tac vest/plate carrier differently (I run the the Brit Mil Osprey) but I also use a large MOLLE bag for my IFAK and I make full use of MOLLE on vest and ruck, and extensive use of compression sacks (generally containing MOLLE pouches attached together inside the sacks), with both the pouches and compression sacks labeled. What are your main rucks (I.N.C.H. and regular sized )? My I.N.C.H.ruck is the MARPAT ILBE with attachable assault pack and regular sized ruck is the 5.11 Rush 72. They're both great, but I've been looking at some various rucks so I can have another packed and ready (for a buddy or for some eventuality you can't foresee, because you never know what's gonna happen in a real societal collapse where even the cops and National Guard are getting outta Dodge)
A sawyer mini filter or micro squeeze is a great option. Can even be used inline on the bladder so you can scoop and bolt. There......i also make an adapter so you can fill via the hose and don't have to remove the bladder from your pack.
“couple of tampons just incase you buddy gets bitchy” lmao
I carry 2 toilet paper rolls in my loadout... because when the firefight starts I will surely shit my pants
I will be packing 2 rolls as well
You can also use water, preferably somewhat warm water that’s at the very least clean enough for external use, like rinsing the poop away. Same concept as a bidet, just with less technology and more monkey vibes. I actually use it sometimes at home because it doesn’t smear poop on your crack.
Good the piss will wash away my shit
Baby wipes, man. Why force yourself to suffer when you can shit like a king?
Love the setup. It's not about having the most expensive carrier, it's about what you have on your carrier.
Heavy, but end of the day there’s nothing like slinging it over and knowing you ain’t gotta grab shit or worry bout shit. Killer set up 👌🏻
Ryan Roy thanks brother, I appreciate the input! Stick around here a while, we’ve got the occasional decent video!
Those are some of the best looking toenails I've ever seen in a gear overview.
Audible_Savage absolutely, unequivocally correct. The truth of this statement is haunting,
If only there was a way to be able to partake of these glorious calcium deposits on the regular...??? Like a way to stay informed of my regular video updates... alas, we are lost to the winds of time. Never shall our little piggies frolic upon the green grasses that are TH-cam. I mourn the loss.
Same.
@@ZombieHuntersInt Tactical toenails bro. Lmbo.
Lol bear kuttin the fettish... izers right here and now
In this woke world he never misses mani_pedi day at the spa 😂
Good to know that the Condor MOPC is considered hard use and works for you. I was looking at their Gen 2 in black and I am feeling better about it now. Thanks man.
Same here when I first bought gear from condor I had my doubts but its been great while in the military. I don't understand why people always talk shit on it
@@baltazar2728 Never had a problem with my Condor gear. I have a tactical vest, pouches and mag pouches and they're still holding strong. And I've been having them for close to 10 years now.
I have one, and it's shitty compared to my crye.
It's just not comfortable.
Quite bulky.
... I do have a smaller frame. I'm at the smaller end of it's size range. I wear the steel ops ludis plates. I have a concerning amount of bottom, overhang from my carrier.
The kangaroo pouch is pointless and bulky.
I have it cause it's cheap. I wear it around the house, because I don't have the discipline to work out. If i need a carrier I wear my crye. The cheapo is great for maintaining strength. And it serves it purpose well.
That's why the condor sucks for me. But works great for this man-mountain on the video. Or maybe even you, idk.
But for me.
5'9" 150. It's a bit much. I even wear a custom cut plate that's a bit smaller than the medium size.
On the plus side.
The thin plates I use, actually fit nicely with no padding.
And because it's so long on me. It's more comfortable on my boobs. (D's). Plenty of adjustment to get it to fit.
@@baltazar2728 pretty sure back in the day Condor use to be more shitty airsoft stuff. Not bad, but not something that’d hold up for long under real wear and tear. Plus a lot of people compare a 40-60 dollar chest rig to a 500+ dollar Crye AVS
Just a thought. Add a inline Sawyer mini to your hydration system, it will allow to do a hasty refill of your water bladder and still provide filtered water.
I've actually added an inline Sawyer to this kit. Great minds...
I just purchased the same hydration carrier for my kit. Looks solid, molle to your carrier, and has plenty of space for a few extra items. You got alot of extra stuff. Most of it looks practical, me myself would run an assault pack, but everyone is different and if you can carry it, then by all means. "you do you", great words. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
I like your videos and your policy of “you do you and I’ll do me”. Love that!!! Keep it up
phrase of the week. "Don't come to my house I will end you, it's my money not yours" recent sub good advice and direction man.. always doing the next right thing! Be safe out there!
I would ditch those low sodium MREs for some real ones. You’re gonna want that salt if you’re sucking wind and sweating. Thanks for the video.
Thats not the only thing he'll be sucking with all that chapstick lol
Nah he's a good dude not a bad set up I'm upgrade from my Condor to a different brand just cuz I wore mine out and starting to fall apart with how much I use it so I need something a little bit more durable and higher quality
I would ditch that fake snuff and get some Copenhagen.
@william terry Actually this isn't true. Table salt known as "sodium chloride" is whats not good for you. However sea salt will not cause high blood pressure. Your body needs salt. Don't take my word for it , check out Dr. Thomas Levy cardiologist on youtube
Whole lot of hurt feelings over salt, high blood pressure, etc. Salt doesn’t cause high blood pressure for you TH-cam experts, it aggravates high blood pressure.
Cause and "aggravate" is semantics. Its not "salt" its salt in the form of "sodium chloride", which is chemical make up of table salt. Sea Salt does not effect the body the same way as "sodium chloride". of course if you exercise daily and have a positive mental state that will mitigate the effects. But most people are negative and don't exercise. Its easier just to use sea salt and not worry about it.
That condor rip away med kit is really nice. I actually keep on my ruck for my main medical kit but i have the rip away lite versions for some ifaks on other lines of gear cuz they are a lot more compact. Nice vid bro. Subbed
your video inspired me to finally get my pc (which i've been neglecting) set up with a med kit and comms, etc. thank you for the information, it was very helpful
One of the best, well thought out setups I've seen!!
Greetings from Chile, thank you very much for your configuration video. Without a doubt, he has given me new ideas and without doubts that I should change my plate holder.
Great video Brother, I truly appreciate and enjoyed it.
Especially the TNP Patch.
I have several of them.
Ah man thank you for the link to this daypack. The hydration carriers we are using for our deployment coming up with my guard unit are pretty nice but they don't compare to this daypack. I will for sure be using this on my build 🤟
Honestly not a bad set up.
Dustin Farley it’s what I run when I feel the need for armor, brother. Gets the job done.
TJ Morris NTXMAG yeah it's not bad made me rethink my setup I think you have a good setup for the application it's intended for.
Dustin Farley You Should just run a Lorica Segmentata
Outstanding thank you friend. Got to be ready if possible for anything
Dont even sweat the camera. Thanks so much for showing us your setup. I think your right on the money. Sure its heavy but its gonna stop rifle rounds affectively wile you have all the useful essentials needed for survival.
just bought my first pc, got some good info and add on ideas from this, thanks
Thanks for the video. Love your setup.
Just subscribed to your Chanel , thanks for the informative videos ! It’s giving me the right ideas for my set up.
Very good, It's great that you can carry all of that. I am not as big as you and have a lighter set up. But all that matters is that it works for us.
Awesome setup man! I'm going to get me this plate carrier this month.
Awesome setup. Almost exactly how I am building mine. Thanks
Curt Conway glad you enjoyed the vid, brother.
Love it Bear.. i have reg mre's and rain gear in mine. .. other wise same load out. 👍💪
God bless you sir, good setup
Everything you need plus the kitchen sink I love it
I've got the same Condor IFAK. It's frickin awesome
"gotta look cool out there, never know when you need to make our with your buddy." -bear 2018
This would be a good update for the videos you’re doing now for September 2023.
I just got this exact plate carer. Working on the setup now.
I have those mag pouches on my LBV. I really like em. I keep my 1911 mags in the front pouches.
Great video, great concept, great coverage. My personal preference is a tiered system with my normal carry stuff being on a thin padded war belt. Don't want to have to carry that heavy shit all the time, but do want to be able to be well armed all the time.
Only thing I directly contest is armor. I've got rifle rated armor and it's good shit, but like you say its heavy and bulky and reduces that maneuverability. I like to keep soft armor handy though (standard 10x12 3a in a slick carrier that can go under a chest rig if nothing else.) Won't stop any hard core threat but it also doesn't really slow me down at all at less than 2.5lbs for both front and back plates, and it is protection against ricochets, frag (from splatter of impacts or whatever else), shotguns, etc. My philosophy is if I'm expected trouble, wear the hard armor. If chances are slim, wear the soft armor that I can still dump easily if I need to. If I'm just working around the homestead, fuck all that noise.
Very informative video Mr. Morris! Thank you. erick
Airek Windslayer you’re welcome; the pack is a Condor HCB2 in coyote tan, about $45 on Amazon and highly recommended.
Nice Set Up. On your PC Enjoyed your Video. 🤙
Nice, I think that is a good setup. If you like it that is all that matters. My MOPC should be in Friday. Got tan as well.
I can’t believe how many folk don’t understand why one should carry softpoints... good to see/hear. Have the same gear as well. Shalom
OzarksTactical Homesteading for some one who hasn't heard of why, can you enlighten them?
Super cool setup!!! I’m late to the game so the only thing can afford for is a level 3+..... I need a system just like that. I’m going to used some of your idea and just run with it . Thanks man
Thank you! Your videos ROCK! I’m taking notes lol
Great setup
Nice set up gave me some ideas
Silverio Vargas thank you! Glad to help. Welcome to the tribe! Stick around- we have fun around here.
Will do
Me too
Don't think it's a bad setup it's what works for you. In the past year my gear has changed a lot! Full kit is 3a armor under clothing and sized down my plate carrier big time way to many mags in front and switched to ceramic plates to. It is just my opinion but strap it on and go for I hike you will figure it out! New sub and just checking out the video's.
I’m low key in love with your IFAK
Great setup brother!!!!
this was very informative thanks!!!!
Damn, that's a sick load out
Checking back in on this video as I watched this two years ago.. For some reason I didn't notice you had a lip in then, but I do now :D
Nice load there! Your medical looks exactly like mine. Not overkill, but most everything you need. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Nice set up !! 👍
Lol most honest badass video ive seen yet on a plate carrier
Nice setup thanks
Yup I have the same set-up on hog hunting in Texas...same idea...except...I have a one day pack....and leave my back open for when I am in the quad....well thought.
I have the same carrier and patch, great carrier for the money.
Yr load out has changed drastically over the years
8:09 "Don't come to my house , I will end you " 💀💀😂
Great video. Thanks
Do you have a link for the radio and speaker. Good idea on having mags on the back. I will be integrating this into my setup.
Prevailing Viking the newest version of these radios can be found here: Kenwood TK-3402U16P ProTalk 5 Watt Two-way Radio, UHF, 16 Channels, Black Color www.amazon.com/dp/B00B5GFY9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9EGYAbG8G5YT9
If you look below at the “frequently bought together” you can see the external microphone. If you have the scratch it wouldn’t hurt to get spare batteries as well for extended run time.
Nice set up brother
Wow, here's your first video with over 10k views. This one must have given you a bunch of new subs.
Awesome! I agree with your philosophy on carrying extra gear. It may be a lot of extra weight but If you have a plate carrier, you probably have it in case you need it. If you no shit need your rig, better have whatever shit you need in/on it because swinging by Walmart to ‘top off’ the supplies probably isn’t going to be an option.
Shit hot. Set up just as you needed. As any set up should be.
That Milwaukee knife is very sharp I got the same one but red it came with a tool combo pack and I beat it up and it’s still stupid sharp
That’s an awesome setup
thanks brother!
Awesome commentary! Nice video
I have a very similar setup. I just do not have as much stuff on my back. A lot of the stuff you carry on your back I carry on a battle belt. You have level 1, 2 & 3 gear. Level 1 civie clothes and what fits in your pockets, level two battle load out and level 3 main backpack which can be mission specific depending on number of days you are going to be in the field. What a lot of people neglect is a level 2.5 pack which is your slimmed down emergency shelter survival kit with all your can't live without essentials and ammo resupply. A kit which tears away from your level 3 kit which is much lighter for a more E&E mission.
I run a slick back PC except for the hydration. I do keep a day pack set up though
"Everybody that wants to be cool and have a plate carrier and have 40 lbs of shit that they probably don't need..."
That's me, that is exactly who I am and why I am here. You left out the LARPers who want to look cool while playing with all their little friends.
Here’s a tip guys, if you want extra re enforcement bring your plate carrier to a local seamstress or someone who can sow(google is where I found one) and have them reenforce all the stitching on the carrier. Usually it’s 20 bucks and will put it on par with 250-500 dollar carriers
Bear I like your attitude this is the way I run my rig so don't bust my B for the way I run my rig you run with what you feel comfortable with each to their own
Thanks for sharing.
Man you had me at 8:09. Subbed. 😂
Good set up
Bro, I love it. Great setup, you have a lid video?
Awesome video thanks man. Little bottle of CLP in that pack won’t hurt sailor
Hey Bear! Love your videos! I know this is a little older but I was curious what size plate carrier you are using? Or if you had a link to the carrier in your video? I'm a big guy too and am looking for a carrier that will fit comfortably, thank you!
Love your setup. I notice that you have a sharpening stone for your knife, but no cleaning kit for your primary firearm. Is there a reason for that?
If you are going with iodine, keep some powdered Gatorade around. It's light weight and it will kill the taste and replace electrolytes you are using. Nearly as good as dehydrated beer.
I'm running the same hydro pack after watching your video.. except I didnt use the webbing to mount it directly. I removed the bottom of the shoulder straps leaving the buckle attached to the top half and secured that to the front of carrier. That way I can grab and lift it over my head and place it in my lap if driving or need access to it without taking it off. If your interested I can post a video...
Pretty similar to my kit. Nice.
Great video been looking at the Condor flue hydration pack to attache to my pc. Also use it for a day pack when just out with the kids or impromptu hikes that u didn't plane for. now the question is this, how do u integrate ur ruck on to all this? would like to see what the full system looks like on you to really get see the concept of how it works not saying it doesn't work.
YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
Best personal cameraman anyone could have.
10:54 and then 2020 happened... you were right
Do you have to take off the whole plate carrier to get things out of your pack?
If you’re on your own yes, my day pack is setup for a buddy to grab extra shit. Non essential stuff that he can grab and hand to me. It changes for your mission. Some backpack setups have mags on the back. Its great in a stack. Doesnt make so much sense running solo. Lighten the load and slick it up
I see two basic lines of thought on the back side. One approach is to use something like this and the other is a flatter PC with an additional pack you can wear over it. In the latter method you have the advantage of a lighter and more compact loadout for your movements on foot and can leave the extra gear in a vehicle or at a camp/FOB/OP/whatever. When you need to take it along on foot you can still do so but the downsides are you don't have as neat and concise, or comfortable/secure, loadout when packing it all and you also have a changing loadout to adapt to. With the approach Bear is using you have everything all the time and it doesn't change. So you don't have to discover that pouch is now under your pack and you can't quite get into it and such. It all depends on how much you need and what your mission is.
mission specific got to love it.
Lol love the setup man .its basically what ever you need your not fucking around again love it
I'm case you need to make out with your battle buddies. Chapstick is MANDATORY in your kit. Cool vid 👍
What brand of plates are you running if you don't mind me asking great videos love the channel
Iodine, good info. I wasn’t aware.
Haha love the intro!
I would keep my dominant hand side clear with nothing on it so it's a clean draw when you pull out your sidearm
Your sidearm can be repositioned for an easier draw. If your going to your side arm you are in deep crap most of the time. Using body armor in patrolling 99% of the time when on foot you are just walking or standing around. It makes a massive difference being able to rest your elbow or forearm on a pouch.
@@minicoopertn and you should always be ready for deep shit to happen, if there's a pouch in the way of your draw it can cost you your life
Great video. I have a question about your carrier. I have the same one, but I don't have any of the molle stuff on my shoulder straps. Did you buy that separately?
Very helpful
Man you crack me up. Lol love the vid i carry 12 mags on my rigs.
You can never have too much ammo.
jason robles ya well I run 25 on mine but it's really not a big deal just how I roll lmfao I bet my M4 5.56x45 is bigger than your M4 5.56x45 bet!
Yeah well I carry 1368 mags on my carrier
Wow. I am just running 4 AR mags and 5 Pistol mags on my body because I am running a 5.7
I use to strip the MRE's. It saves some weight. If you strip the MRE's you could add a life straw.
Can’t believe this was 5 years ago 😐 feels like i just watched it yesterday
great setup alot like mine.
Yes, I still watch your older videos lol 🐻
