Here's something that most, if not all, haven't noticed. Your vehicle. A 1980s Toyota land cruiser. No fancy computer, no on-star, GPS, no nothing. Easy to work on. Very good choice.
First thing I noticed actually. Many videos ago…I’ve had 3 hilux pickups, 91’ Land Cruiser, and currently 2001 tundra (hunting truck) 2018 tundra, and got the wife an 18 4Runner. Makes me feel proud that a man of faith, navy seal hero drives a Land Cruiser. Greeting from Alabama. Nuff said.
My box has been ready for years. Hope I never need it but it's there. Thanks for all the pointers n for teaching people who aren't ready man. You guys keep in the fight n I love it
It does my heart well to know all these true men exist out there. We are truly brothers. Not just in arms, but in spirit of being grounded humans. God Bless and be safe.
I’m very encouraged to see all the people that have awakened and getting squared away watching your videos. They are way ahead of the Learning curve by following your advice. You’re a great example of someone taking the skills and blessings that God has given, and using them to bless others. keep up the good work and I hope to see you on the trail in February 10th in Summerville.
Thank you Chadd, been learning a lot from you and the men out there. Went to a gun show and it was overwhelming but cool! Starting to put my own stuff together and weapons of choice.
Wish i could afford a plate carrier. My tactics are: avoid combat, dont be seen and dont get shot! Im old school so i use an LBV88 with a 70s pistol belt and ALICE gear. I carry 6 5.56 mags on the vest and 4 M9 20 rounders on the belt. I Love the shoulder straps on the LBV over the old H or Y suspenders, its super comfortable and distributes the weight really well even with about 30~35 lbs of gear but you do sweat. I carry about 10 hrs of water and 48 hrs of sustainment gear on the pistol belt with a butt pack. I call it my EMP walkin kit. God forbid i ever have to use it in real life but i walk with it every week just to stay fit and stay used to the weight and feel of it.
Good video. Level 4 Ceramic front/back plates and then soft body armor for sides and extended front protection is another good variation for a plate carrier.
Great content! I use my Decked truck bed drawer system as my war box. One side has my plate carrier with the Shot Stop GT2 plates, rifle and pistol mags, aid kit, spare ammo and some tools. The other side has my get home bag, extra food, water, shelter, etc. I am in the process of setting up a vehicle specific war belt so I can go from my EDC carry of my handgun straight to my war belt - but crap is expensive! Ya'll take care and stay strapped.
I've been waiting for this one since the subject first aired. I have a FLC vest ($20.00 at military surplus store) for my mag pouches in my war box, along with a flashlight, batteries, multi tool, and small binocs. I have a few more items I must get including 550 paracord. Thanks for the very useful information Chadd!!!!
Hey bro, did you hear about the shot stop body armor scandal? The NIJ tested some plates off their production line and they failed. It was found that they snuck some Chinese materials into the plates. The company is going under. Just a suggestion, maybe consider some hesco plates…….
Nice setup one thing be careful with rubber bands if they get much sun the uv breaks them quick especially up in the northern rockies at 10,000'. The uv is so high ive had cheap rubber bands break in 2 days. Make sure you look at them for cracks and replace as needed.
Love yr teaching & strategies Chadd. This old gal has eyes wide open to hiw MY precious country gas fallen & shes having trouble fetting up under this corript admin. God help Us🥰👍🇺🇲
I have the gun belt, a plate carrier and a H - harness with chest rig. At present my plate carrier has llla front, back and sides. All soft armor. This is for my wife. We hopefully will not be running and gunning. I'm 66 she's 62. But if necessary we can move for a while. Stay safe out there. And it's never nuff said..there is always more to learn.
Hey Chad, first of all thank you for all of the info you post for us. I wanted to suggest a video. I know the war box is not supposed to perpetually be in the vehicle, but when it is, it needs to be secured and there are a few options out there for exactly that. Was wondering if you wouldn't find it interesting yourself, but also if it would make some good content for a video. I'm familiar with certain products and ideas to accomplish is, but I thought maybe it'd bee a good video and info for the rest, including myself. I'm sure you have a couple of ideas that most, no matter their experience and knowledge, would be glad to know. Thanks again, and by the way, love you too brother.
Funny how opinions can differ. If I can only choose 1, I’m going with a quality gun belt. No chest rig (unless contact expected) And a backpack with all the extra supplies. I found this setup to be the most maneuverable for sure when covering distances.
In the event folks at home need to don gear, what gear would be suited for a more low profile/ covert setup? To not draw unwanted attention to yourself and loved ones a PC and gun belt doesn’t help with staying off the radar and keeping a low profile in an urban environment, I wish we lived in the country but that’s not our current reality. Thank you Chadd for the info and letting us learn through your experiences Sir!
For concealable body armor, there are vids posted already. In short, wear a Fetterman hoodie. Or wear a windbreaker. Or if you are in the North and need a parka, just wear that. And wear armor underneath. Soft armor conceals well enough. Hard armor can be concealed with the right outer covering. It's a little easier with a slick carrier. Steel plates are about 1/4 inch thick if you feel ceramic is too fat. As a general rule I would put some padding under any plate. Between your body and the plate.
Can you do a video that would instruct guys like most of us that are not trained up SEALS to use the gear or what to do when confronted with the treats that we might encounter WTSHTF?
I agree with you on kitting things to be a minuteman if needed, I try to also keep some food and water in my qrf kit. IMHO I think once the box is pulled from the closet, the rifle should be added should ride with the kit. Your video got me thinking too, what about footwear and some clothes. Yeah and someday, a bump helmet and an anpvs14. As an aside, I am interested in hearing more about how you can use an IR laser to communicate with others in your team if you wouldnt mind. Thanks like your videos, Long live the republic. A friend in Rio Rancho NM.
I have ShotStop plates. I heard last week that they disbanded and got caught using substandard material. They are no longer in business. It makes me wonder if my plates are still any good but I guess they’re better than nothing.
I've had my car broken into 3 times in 30 years. not super often but each time I lost all contents. I'd be afraid to leave gear and weapons in the car if I had to park around town doing errands.
I live in New York City and I've had my car broken into twice, losing A couple thousand in tools and supplies,I ended up cutting out and squaring off my tire well and adding a lid with a lock .
I always see soldiers training with big heavy backpacks. Do soldiers throw the backpack on after this kit you speak of? Plus, I see some military with a pistol on the chest. What's up with the pistol on the chest rig?
Interesting discussion. I ordered the VF17 visibility panel for backpacking. I have an armored backpack, good for leaving in my car often. Thank you! Stay safe!
I’ve never seen a man with a beard 5X as long as his shorts. Bold move.
Lolop
That’s the kind of man you just stop and say, understood.
😂
He's earned the confidence to do so..with his background most wouldn't make fun of him!!lol
Thank you Chad! Are we able to get a video of the rest of your war box?
Here's something that most, if not all, haven't noticed.
Your vehicle.
A 1980s Toyota land cruiser.
No fancy computer, no on-star, GPS, no nothing.
Easy to work on.
Very good choice.
I was wondering about the vehicle - similar to Jeep Cherokee - now I know, great, I want one.
I noticed immediately. Can’t beat an old Toyota
Not cheap, but worth every penny.
First thing I noticed actually. Many videos ago…I’ve had 3 hilux pickups, 91’ Land Cruiser, and currently 2001 tundra (hunting truck) 2018 tundra, and got the wife an 18 4Runner.
Makes me feel proud that a man of faith, navy seal hero drives a Land Cruiser. Greeting from Alabama. Nuff said.
i keep my 63 C-10!

All the people lol, what %? 5?
Now just beware corrupt law enforcement willing to abuse their position.
I love your no nonsense, practical approach to readiness. Great job!
Frogman, this 40 yr. old Eagle Scout, TEXAN & Patriot is very appreciative of this informative video. Luv y'all!✌
⭐🇺🇸
Thank you for all the wisdom, knowledge, and encouraging teachings, Chad and Chili
Thank you Chadd, been learning a lot from you and the men out there. Went to a gun show and it was overwhelming but cool! Starting to put my own stuff together and weapons of choice.
We all start from zero. And we all start somewhere. Good for you getting the ball rolling!

Agree on the "avoid getting shot at" aspect.
Giant c trail being laid there turning the sky grey. Appreciate all you do 3 7
That's what I was about to say
I mean let's also throw a shout out to the land cruiser. What a beast and beautiful truck! Please do a "just-for-fun" truck video.
Good video. Level 4 Ceramic front/back plates and then soft body armor for sides and extended front protection is another good variation for a plate carrier.

Man I like your content . And straight forward approach keep up the great work
Love this time of year. And hate these holidays
Thanks so much Chadd, there are a lot of people who need to see and hear this info. Just starting out, survival and gear packing. 🙏🇺🇲👍👍
I do need to get organized. I appreciate this series.
You guys are inspiring !!!❤
Love this series!
Thank you Chad!

Thanks chad 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice truck 🤙the colour, the age, the condition. 👌moi, making me miss my old truck man.
I like the Land Cruiser the best! All the best for 2024. Happy running.
Nuff said brother God bless
Good information. Have a good and blessed day.
I’ve had my Leatherneck MUT for over 12 years. Glad to hear some people still keep em around too.
Hey bro, did you hear about the shot stop body armor scandal? The NIJ tested some plates off their production line and they failed. It was found that they snuck some Chinese materials into the plates. The company is going under. Just a suggestion, maybe consider some hesco plates…….
If he's a fed trying to set some of you up, J6 style, faulty plates would be the cherry on top.
@@colliswilliams8992 if so that’s a dang good cover persona 😂
Nice setup one thing be careful with rubber bands if they get much sun the uv breaks them quick especially up in the northern rockies at 10,000'. The uv is so high ive had cheap rubber bands break in 2 days. Make sure you look at them for cracks and replace as needed.
And those rubber bands can put an eye 👁️ out 👍💯🎯😎
I have those Mat Bock adjustable lens thingy's for your nods you can just dial it in pin point or big eye and plus it protects your lens
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Much Respect!
Love yr teaching & strategies Chadd. This old gal has eyes wide open to hiw MY precious country gas fallen & shes having trouble fetting up under this corript admin. God help Us🥰👍🇺🇲
Please continue this series!
love it thank you for this instruction
My parents still have my old boy scout foot locker from summer camp, I'm going to go check if it's still in good enough shape to make my war box.
Great content. Thank you!
James Reeves aka: Gunshorts would be proud!
I have the gun belt, a plate carrier and a H - harness with chest rig. At present my plate carrier has llla front, back and sides. All soft armor. This is for my wife. We hopefully will not be running and gunning. I'm 66 she's 62. But if necessary we can move for a while.

He's going to be fighting in those shorts is hilariously cool 😎
Great video Chadd the people judging your shorts have a long road ahead for them but a lot of great takeaways in this keep producing great content.
Thank you Chadd n Chilly !
Thanks Chadd
Chadd, bride bought me a DECKED DRAW system for my 2018 Tacoma. Locks up nice.
Nice Chad, thanks. Also, "ShotStop is no longer taking orders until further notice."
My war box would be spilling out of those shorts.
😂
Get you some 1 inch mesh Chadd talks about in the other video
Those are tactical T-bagging shorts😊
Winter jacket and short shorts. Confused? Thanks for sharing this with us. Great tips
You only need to protect your coals 😂
Chad probably just got back from a brisk 20 mile run and put a jacket on before filming. 😂
@@nickcoldest7128 your probably right. For the record I was teasing. I live in MN and wear shorts 90% of the time.
@@harrygrimley4352👍
Excellent advice. Thank you. Beautiful background for the video, too.
Thanx for reminding me I need to inspect my box and make sure the moths ain’t eat that stuff!
Ready for the next war box video!! LETS GOOOO!!! 😎😎
Good solid info. A monthly review/inventory is what I do to make sure I know just what is where.
Great information please keep it coming
Love your content, bro. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.🙏🏽💪🏽🤘🏽

Great video man! Only forgot one really important item…. Those shorts! We can be running and gunning without comfort ! 😉
Next Level !!!❤❤
Love these videos. Ready to see the other one.

You have no idea !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Heart ❤❤❤
Very powerful 💪 content
Nice job brother
I’ve trained with both the carrier and H gear and, yes, the harness is more comfortable, by a mile. But you can’t beat protection.
thanks,,,,,great video
I feel like Im sitting in a real Navy firearms training class. Great demonstration sir!
Can you do a video that would instruct guys like most of us that are not trained up SEALS to use the gear or what to do when confronted with the treats that we might encounter WTSHTF?
I agree with you on kitting things to be a minuteman if needed, I try to also keep some food and water in my qrf kit.

Looking forward to that next video
Good stuff, would love to see your plate carrier up closer because you have some great ideas.
Enjoying this series
I have ShotStop plates. I heard last week that they disbanded and got caught using substandard material. They are no longer in business. It makes me wonder if my plates are still any good but I guess they’re better than nothing.
More and more businesses these days are being bitten by the shrinkflation(greed)bug!
@@robertlawson698I've felt the greed bug in almost every part of my life recently.
Great tips and example
You can only control yourself, your words, your actions....
that's a fact. Other than that you are just along for the ride.
Full on!
I've had my car broken into 3 times in 30 years. not super often but each time I lost all contents. I'd be afraid to leave gear and weapons in the car if I had to park around town doing errands.
I live in New York City and I've had my car broken into twice, losing A couple thousand in tools and supplies,I ended up cutting out and squaring off my tire well and adding a lid with a lock .
Great info. It looks like your war wagon is a 60 series Land Cruiser. Great choice.
Thanks for the insights
Thanks for all the info very informative. How do you store food, water & cooking utensils?
Yo I wear shorts in winter too. The folks in NC think Im nuts😂😂😂
I run a onward research Reece chest rig and wear a low profile armored plate carrier and a gun belt
The silkies baby
I keep about the same stuff on mine. But no side plates. I also have a good fixed blade that straps to the shoulder strap
Those shorts will keep the enemies away. LOL.
A good multitool is mandatory. I have a Gerber in a pouch on my belt that I never go anywhere without, unless I need to board a plane
Went to the airport in a rush and forgot I had it in my Fanny pack. Got taken.
Awesome video
Thanks
I always see soldiers training with big heavy backpacks. Do soldiers throw the backpack on after this kit you speak of? Plus, I see some military with a pistol on the chest. What's up with the pistol on the chest rig?
Love it great stuff. Keep it coming. 🫡
Land Cruiser? Love it
Interesting discussion. I ordered the VF17 visibility panel for backpacking. I have an armored backpack, good for leaving in my car often. Thank you! Stay safe!
You can put sgear in a large ice cooler. Noone notices a old cooler in back of a vehicle. The older and banged up the better.
Great view
Good advice🤙🏻
Chad and James Reeves need to have a short shorts competition.
Might I suggest a Paint Can Opener… Cheap/Free piece of kit & pulls out Stuck shells like a Mutha’
