    For a shell extractor, use a paint can opener. Keep it paracorded or bungied to your kit. Seconds matter and if we are worried about it being "fatal", having to dig it out your pack or falling back to where you doffed it can be even more so fatal

    Nice loadout PA as always well thought out and gives us good pointers to set up our own.
    But as for the bag itself I actually picked one up but was less than impressed. Nice features and layout, but mine came with severe fraying on the mesh even though I bought it new with tags. Hitting it with a lighter didn't alleviate the issue. Despite Eagle's "Lifetime warranty", they said since I bought it from a dealer (I wasn't going to pay 3x as much buying it from Eagle's website) I would get charged for the repairs. They did offer to cover shipping on their end at least. I'll post a video on it sometime. My bag is a sample of one, could be the bag is durable as hell, but from talking with them it doesn't seem like they were surprised by my issue.

      As an Older Floridian I'd like to better understand how to prepare for our very specific weather conditions that as we all know, is pretty much unchanging year-round. One would think that would make it easier, but lacking the proper experience dealing with it under extreme conditions makes it hard to find a resolution. As a Father with two girls 16/9 and a wife to boot, I'd like to better understand how to prep gear that can help us all better deal with the factor that is Women and our Relentless Hot & Muggy Weather. What type of clothing to keep cool while preserving some ability to visually evade others and not cooking inside that clothing (BDU's etc.). Best footwear that is also fitting for the weather and the more tender feet and again maintaining some breathing & comfort.
      Is that plate carrier a necessity? Is it necessary for us all or most of us to have as well; our would some adapted form of Florida grey-man be better? If so, what does that look like? Should we consider freeze dried foods, or MRE's or simply forage? I'm inclined to think that some prepared foods would make it easier with a family in tow.
      What type of transportation would be most beneficial for our scenario? SUV, Scooters, Bikes, BM-Double-Feet? (I know that one is hard to answer for us specifically; and varies from family to family).
      So many other questions to ask; but I hope this has given you some direction on what others with similar conditions and lack of knowledge/experience would like to know how to prepare for.
      I suppose a more personal convo would facilitate my long list of questions.
      Thanks once again for replying and asking for my input.

      Practice is your most important tool. Grab some basic stuff in a duffle with your wife and actually pretend you need to bug out for a day. AAR yourselves and ask the questions what worked/didn't, what were you missing, etc and build from there.

      Boots can be touchy, because they all fit differently. Plus, in the southern part of Florida, my best advice is to go with some kind of mesh upper. Old jungle boots will wreck your feet, but Rocky, 5.11, Bates, Magnum all make hybrid boots with leather and mesh that work well year round. I prefer synthetic socks for quicker drying time. It's rare that you will want wool.
      Definitely invest in water kit. Sawyer makes a great long term filter, and no issues with freezing for the most part. Also, purification tabs, probably some kind of gravity filter bag, and suitable storage containers.
      Breathable rain gear. SPF long sleeve shirts will keep you cooler in the heat than a wife beater top. Think about a fanny pack for stuff you always want on your person, and a backpack that can hold your other essentials. Alcohol stoves work pretty good here. You'll want hot water for coffee if you drink it. MREs and freeze dried meals are great, but expensive. There's videos out there for home made Mre meals that you can do cheaply.
      Recommended are good tactical pants in green or coyote as these colors are good for the area. They also shed water and dry quickly.
      Get a headlamp, preferably with a red lens. Keeps the bugs away at night if you need light. Bug netting and a boonie cap are good for sun and bugs.
      Get a decent fixed blade knife.
      Have multiple ways to make fire.
      All I can think of off the top of my head. Florida is way different of an environment, and a lot of what other people do doesn't work as well here.

      @@stretchman490Thanks for the great pointers. I have already implemented some of these, now I need to find the boot you suggested. It's not easy gearing-up for Florida Weather as you get older and don't have the same tolerance & conditioning you once had; and not having served to gain that knowledge. I will start looking for those boots and a couple of the other items I don't have yet. Many thanks once again.

    Question. Why the base layers and two poncho liners versus a full like a level 7 puff suit? Feel like space wise they’re the same and the puff suit would be warmer? Thanks dude.

    • @PreparedAirman
      @PreparedAirman  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Depending on temperature, I will ware my lvl 7 on me. But overall it's easier to give poncho liners out when on security/rest cycle then it is to literally give someone else your jacket.

    • @PreparedAirman
      @PreparedAirman  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah very true! It's mainly based on the idea that operationally in my job I will be with a team so we can split items amongst us. While with the get home bag I assume I'm alone. Different situations call for different loadouts.
      See you soon!

      Im actually issued the Mystery Ranch 3 day assault pack. In my opinion and use the MR 3DAP is too small. It does let me fit all the items I need. I would say it's a good day pack, not an overnight bag though.

    For missions when you are ditching the pack at the lp/op, when you would usually have an assault pack, what do you do?

      @PreparedAirman  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For my unit, we have issued smaller packs that have equipment for that purpose. I would just grap one if them which were required to anyway.

    Hey Man 👋 How do you sleep with two poncho liners, just wrap up in them? What temps can you take that to? Thanks 🙏

    • @PreparedAirman
      @PreparedAirman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not a fun time, but it will get you through. It just depends on how many layers you have on.
      For me and my layers of clothing that I'm issued, with the addition of a couple of warmers, you can go below freezing temps. Poncho on the outside, then both woobies, make sure you get the ones that can zip up into a sleeping bag.

      Probably more food and a different sleep system, along with a personal recharge kit for electronics.

    What is your typical ammo loadout? As a SAW gunner in the Rangers, I carried nothing less than 1,000 rounds on me, and another 1,000 rounds on my ruck, and everyone in my squad each carried 500 rounds for the SAW. You might think it’s excessive, but it’s better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it. As we both know, things can go sideways really fast.
