Thanks for getting around to making this video, at first I thought it was one of your old reuploads. I know that a lot of survivalists and bushcrafters are all about the 5 C's to survival; Cover, cutting tool, cordage, combustion, and container. Your cover could be your poncho, cutting tool a knife, cordage is paracord, combustion is as simple as a Bic lighter (but an actual fire kit would be better), and container is your canteen with cup. Hell, you could have your entire survival kit minus extra clothing in your pockets or in a pouch on your web gear or FLC.
I also have one of those patrol packs and they have a couple of snaps inside so you can put the MOLLE bandolier in the outer pouch, also some loops to put your PRC 119 pouch inside the main compartment, one thing though is I struggle packing just right especially now that it's winter and it's hard for me to figure out exactly how cold I need to prepare for
You don't pack all your cold weather gear inside. Just a few extra items to put on as needed to supplement what you are already wearing. Or to replace items that got wet like glove liners.
Keep a little food, water, ammo, medical in it so you have something and it’s not too heavy. Fix it to the top of your main ruck, if you have to dump that ruck and haul ass in a bad situation you’ll want to grab it and move
You keep it packed with the basics and add the mission specific items before you go on the mission. It is attached to your ruck before you drop your ruck and move forward for the mission.
@@sparta2705 Maybe 10 pounds. Depends how much ammo you have in it. Your ruck should weigh really around a max of 60lbs. Heavier than that and it is impossible to carry when you are wearing your body armor and ammo. I tried.
I also thought of a thing as far as commo, what exactly is the best radio for folks like us to use, UV-5rs seem to be sufficient in terms of capability most of the time,however they aren't grunt proof at all, but radios like the FT60 aren't capable from the factory of transmitting on frequencies like FRS or MURS which, from my understanding, are the ones people seem most likely to use if anything happens
I like the ubiquitous FRS/GMRS radios that are cheap and don't transmit too far giving away your location. There are types that have offsets programmed in. So base frequency can be channel 10 and then pick an offset of 0-9. Someone else can be on the same channel of 10 but if they are not using the same offset they are not likely to hear you. But unfortunately the "militia standard" (which I think was forced on us by fed infiltrators) is the Baofeng UV-5R. A piece of Chinese made junk which I suspect can be shut off with transmission from any potential enemy. It's not like that theory hasn't been in survivalist and 2nd civil war fiction for almost 20 years. So why would a potential enemy that makes the junk and sells us the junk not include that for use against a potential adversary.
@@gary0228 Personally I like and recommend going with companies that have been making radios for many many years. Such as Motorola, Uniden, Midland, etc... Many of those companies have been making radios for many decades. I don't really trust the super cheap store brands. But with those I would check the packaging to see what company manufactured them and slapped on the store name. ALWAYS research online how reliable that radio is before you buy it.
@@SecurityGuy42 alright, thank you for the input. I was looking at getting a Yaesu FT60 but they are firmware coded to not transmit on FRS or MURS so I don't believe that would work
Don't suppose you can do a video on systems to attach an assault pack to a rucksack? I'm trying to figure out how to do that with my packs (Malice pack and T3 Hans assault pack).
Not an expert on the many different systems out there. As for attaching it to a ALICE Ruck I run the straps on the assault pack under the exposed top rail of the frame and then under the tightening straps of the ruck. Then re-clip them to the assault pack. It seems to hold it in place well.
Please do the rucksack video. I would personally appreciate it. Also, I'm sitting in a carespot as a follow up for workers comp and I normally tolerate there bullshit with my own light covering thats a pullover and the chick at the counter just told me I have to wear one of their masks. Please lord give me strength.
That camo bag looks like the outer bag I had on my CFP-90 and that stuff will NOT fit in that bag !! Some of it maybe but not most of the larger gear. Most everything you displayed will need to go in a 3-day assault bag. Everything you showed if definitely required, but either of those bags are too small. Good video though..
@@SecurityGuy42 I didn't say it can't hold anything. I said that it won't hold ALL of that. I own that bag and it's not that big. Being ex-military myself I've packed a few bags. Please humor me (and others) and show how you put ALL that gear in that small bag. The rain pattern bag has no chance at all. I'm not trying to be a troll but others may be asking the same question.
@@Stonehombre1 Did you miss the part near the start where I said I wasn't giving a set packing list? Just giving ideas of the types of items for those areas. Attention to detail. You should have been taught that in Basic.

You're thinking of the MOLLE II three day assault pack, I'm sure.
I typically use my medium Alice as my ruck. Then I'll use my buttpack as my "assault" pack. I try and keep enough for 3 days survival in my buttpack.
That works.
My new favorite channel
So is the assault pack empty and just hanging on your gear? Do you carry both when moving from place to place?

@@SecurityGuy42 oh okay.
@@SecurityGuy42 if the ruck is 60 to 80 pounds how heavy is the assault pack before the mission specific items?

Appreciate the info!!
Im seriously underprepared.... after watching this. Argh! Can only do what i can do. Maybe someday i will be more capable.

@@SecurityGuy42 the cheap FRS radios like the cobra Wal-Mart ones or what?

All I’m gonna say…..wet wipes 🤣 can be used as hygiene purposes as well.

That bag that you say can't hold anything holds most of that stuff already.
