In each episode of Gear Tasting, Imminent Threat Solutions Editor-in-Chief Bryan Black answers your gear-related questions and shares his insight into what we're currently evaluating at ITS HQ.
Weather conditions like that are an excellent way to test gear. Great videos.
Quick way of....slinging sort o speak, your rifle on your Alice pack....take a QD attachment off one of your slings, loop one of your straps through the QD attachment where a sling would go, synch it tight to the bag and attach it to the QD point on your rifle....then all you have to do is tie a strap from the bottom of your pack onto the butt stock and synch it tight to your pack.
Nice meeting you guys this year. It was dark in camp, but I was the guy blaming (in jest) Jason for his AAR on your site as the reason we were there. I really enjoy the site, and go there often when I'm trying to figure out some gear issue or another.
Best intro yet.
Ever try the inside bladder from a wine box for a pillow? weighs a little more than a zip lock bag although not as multi use, you can however adjust the pressure on the fly through the valve, the silver coating reflects body heat.
Bryan, I don't know if you've learned this already, but this is how you dry clothing while out in the field:
Wring out any excess moisture then lay whatever you want dried out perfectly flat INSIDE your sleeping bag. Then you climb in, on top of your wet clothes, and zip your bag up. You can do that in your skivvies as long as it's not too cold. Then just go to sleep. That clothing item will be 99% dried, guaranteed, by morning as long as your upper torso was on top of it. The farther away you get from your upper body, the less dry the item will get.
Don't thank me, thank your recruiter.
Softshell softshell softshell uniform!! :D
Its perfect for changing climates and can handle a lot of rain and snow. And it does dry fast!
Bryan you may want to take a look at the eberlestock v69 destroyer. the rifle stock goes in a side pocket and it cinched down with the pack straps. Great Video
Love the intro! Now, where is my new Ridiculous Dialog!?!?!
Kyle lamb has a barrel brake in video on stoic ventures channel if anyone is interested. Thanks for the info nothing sucks more than running around freezing and wet.
Loved the intro! I think i missed it, but what kind of coffee were you drinking?
Great video guys! Just a thought on something. Ive heard of people collecting those little silica bags that come in most everything now. Would it be neat to create a system like a larger bag of silica and be able to put your damp/wet clothes in another bag over night so by morning the clothes aren't as damp/dry? Again, just a thought. Keep the greatness coming!
Is twitter the only way to ask questions now?
Update: I value your company and your opinion so much that i caved in and made a twitter account.
#GEAR TASTING ; I would like to hear more about the Lowa renagades and boots in general. thanks
I've read that suntory's brand control is really tight but have you ever tried carrying some of their products I'd love to have easy access with reasonable shipping of that sweet coffee nectar here in the U.S.
also the destroyer is made with some 450 d instead of all 1000 d material like most eberlestocks saving some weight
Hey Bryan, just found your channel so I apologize if you already answered this question. If you get a chance can you explain how you packed for your flight? Particularly how to declare your rifle and things like that. Did you have any issues bringing ammo or anything else?
Bryan use 550 cord to tie the bipod legs together and you can use that to fold and unfold them
Instead of "questions over coffee", I have questions *about* your coffee. What were you drinking in this video? Some sort of pre-made iced coffee? Just curious lol.
nice
Bushnell G2DMR and you wont have that problem with being a rev off on your optic.
Alpha mags are the company you are thinking about.
Any clothing that's damp just turn inside out and put at the bottom of the sleeping bag or between the bivy and bag.
You could build a pistol for the shorter barrel length.
gaiters. i was going to say "take gaiters."
did you not like running the gun muzzle-down behind one of the pockets? i used to run my shotgun that way
The thundering smell systematically soak because bone rapidly roll atop a sleepy yew. black-and-white, gleaming geology
Kinda rude to be telling a dude his parents didn't spell his name right, don't you think?
