Really like the waterbottle idea. The concept of putting a humongous chungus Nalgene on one side of a rig never felt right. Will definitely give that under carry a try
Nothing can stop the US Air Force.. except lightning within 5. Lol. Great video as always! Thanks.
Lightning within 5.
Haven't heard that in years.
Ya, everything comes to a stop.
There is a reason the Chair Force doesn't have an infantry MOS. Lol
@@davidboyd7773yeah because it's the air force
…a crashed dollar can. And will.
#ChairForce Go Navy ⚓ great video
Excellent video and ideas. One thing you might consider in grizzly country is a pistol lanyard. If the bear charges you out of a brush and makes contact you, it could possibly knock the pistol from your hand. With a lanyard you can pull it back to you and make some noise. I am in black bear country but I still wear a lanyard.
Good info. Also consider some style of double edged blade if bear knocks you to the ground, pistol off to side. A back up to a back up system. In similar, when leaving the dock, take two oars rather than one.
I like the water bottle placement… I carry a good amount of sustainment stuff on side pouches. I dig your kit, very well thought out.
I do like those wide mouth Body Armor 1L bottles. I would recommend carrying some water purification tabs, and some electrolyte powder. Liquid IV, Cure, and LMNT are some of my faves. Thanks for the vid!
If your carrying your water container in a horizontal position and it leaks?
I learned a ton, as always! Thank you for putting out all that quality content on a regular basis. People don't always realize the work behind each video. Much appreciated!
Cheers from Canada.
Agreed, also cheers from western Canada lol
Maybe one more video idea, about combat/tactical pants what you like and what are more affordable for people who dont want to spend 200-300€$ on pants, great vids keep it up!
A cheaper pant that has served me well is 511 taclite pros. amzn.to/46xZTB3
Unfortunately, im not sure about pricing based on location and US currency
5.11 or LAPG pants or shorts. I have many and abuse the crap out of them.
Seems difficult to go prone.
That's always been a tradeoff with mag holders or plate carriers.
The old deuce, or rather ALICE gear worked well. One benefit of it.
782 gear! Right on!
Low crawling would be a bitch.
yup, building a mock alice gear setup right now, Modern belt and suspenders, old alice triple mag pouch (with alice to molle adapter) with the grenade pouches removed for a sleeker fit, GP pouches for some water bottles, trying to come up with a modern equivalent for the buttpack, if i cant find one i will just adapterize an Alice one onto my belt. Apparently the shift away from belt based equipment to chest rig placed equipment is mainly due to most troops riding in vehicles these days, as that does not apply to me and i value the ability to be prone more than the ability to ride comfortably in a vehicle im going with the old school inspired setup.
@@kennethschlegel870 Go 1982 Fort Benning with H harness and humping a large ruck.
If you’re lying on flat ground and not behind any cover at all, sure it’s an issue but that’s poor decision making on your part anyway.
I deeply appreciate that your videos are a very digestible size while still being informative
I enjoyed the video and I subscribed a long time ago. I’m a 1970s USAF Sgt. I realize the military doesn’t want to go back to gear that dismounted infantry used in the past for several wars, but the Brits have perfected the use of a suspenders and belt rig that allows for the addition of body armor over it and a assault or rucksack to also be worn. I think the way you have your kit arranged is darn near perfect, but on the negative you are not carrying additional Squad ammo like LMG, 40 Mike Mike, claymore, hand grenades, or smokes. I’ve worn ALICE, MOLLE, Chest rigs, and plate carriers and all have place. But a belt and suspenders rig is the most comfortable. Eagle Industries has a good suspenders and belt rig out. My suspenders and belt rig is extremely simple. My M56 canvas H suspenders are attached directly to a Condor pistol belt with para cord, for comfort and adjust ability. I do not use a buttpack. I use 3 MOLLE SAW pouches, 3 MOLLE general purpose Canteen pouches ( one for bigger IFAK and two Tourniquets) and the other two for 2 Canteens, 2Cups, 1 natick stove, and eating utensils), a quad side by side Mag holder for 4-AR30 rds magazines, and an over sized rifle pouch ( that can hold 2 or 3 AR mags or two AK mages, or Issued radio), one compass pouch for compass and one sewed to canteen pouch for a multi tool. If SAW pouches not needed for Squad gear, NVGs, or hand grenades or smokes, than extra personal ammo or kit can be added. Like a poncho or a Gortex Jacket or Gortex pants will fit in a SAW pouch. A small 20 liter pack is added for a patrol or overnight.
The greatest setup for civil or covered use I ve ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!
Normally no special Policeunit in Germany is using this setup for observation or spotting before enter a safehouse in public during personal protection of high value targets against fatwas.....
Great add on for foreign countries for any PMCs
I like your kit. It would be fantastic for many things except one. When you walk up on an ambush you can’t get flat on the ground.
With a thick kit , you need a zipper or release to open up the front to get low.
3:04 remember the utility of plastic hip flask style bottles. Stanley makes a few as does Coughlan’s. 500-750ml range. The kidney shaped flat approach often works well to supply hydration without the ever-nagging ergonomics nightmare of “pulling away” or down from one’s core load out. Something I recently experienced during experimentation with fanny pack/butt pack loads: without Y or H harnesses they naturally pull away from the lumbar or abdominal region. Waters the main culprit. Or loaded mags.
I have a generic one in OD. I was a medic, forward observer and Rifleman. I believe in the chest rigs. My civvy chest rig is a Condor sling pack. Low profile, neutral color and my “dad bag”.
Like all your content, it is very well thought out. Very helpful to take your experience to apply to my preps
Cookies to your mom's fridge is a legitimate op 💁♂️
That snack move was James Bond smooth.
Happy late turkey day amigo, this year i’m thankful to you again for all the knowledge 🧠
From Canada ❤ thanks for your professionalism. Yes I subbed.
Great information as always.
When you mentioned, Glock 29, I subscribed. The first pistol I purchased when deciding back country packing was the 29.
10mm is very nice for a backcountry cartridge.
Nice review. Well done!
Bring the mustache back!
Great video, cool kit . Thanks for the content .
Thanks for the video
Fantastic training videos! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for fresh information. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving with family, friends, brothers. Be safe.
Spiting Facts
Dogman hunt #followmytracers
I fought with a chest rig in Afghanistan and it was great for the type of operations I was doing however, I'd prefer the old style web gear for extended field operations...similar to the old British or Canadian style.... "Y" yoke and pouches around the waist belt
I originally used LBE in my earlier military career, but I couldn't find one that I like due to my build. I'm a tall guy with a really skinny waist. I'm still looking into finding a good one. Spritus systems is on the list to try.
Good information putting out keep it up-and-doing good.
Awesome ty
Looks good bud. I have a two part kit. One is just a belt with suspenders with med kit, mag holder, canteen and backup pistol.........thats the go fast kit and if its time to stay and fight i add my tac vest on top with 6 more rifle mags, main pistol with 5 mags, Leatherman, Gerber knife..........its not too heavy as i make sure to run and move with it to maie sire it functions good and im a big guy anyway ( 6 foot 3, 175 pounds) and can haul it......i cam also swap the main rifle mags for my shotgun mags and instantly switch to CQB mode
Nice review!
Great info as always
A great kit to hide under a poncho , for a lower profile.
Possibly a dumb question coming in on a low approach here, would a set up like this work in combination with a belt kit? (LBE/LBV/LBC etc)
I’m a medic and work off my body. Not an assault pack kinda guy. Especially being in a mechanized unit. I like the size of this chest kit, its had me curious when you first shared this.
This setup does allow the belt line to be free. So I you would like it's definitely possible.
i do infact run alice webbing with a chest rig, they complement each other well.
Those tru-spec expedition pants are pretty heckin’ amazing. I have two pair for a couple years now that I wear all the time, work, range, outdoors etc.
They’ve more than held up compared to my fjallraven vidda pro’s and kebb trousers(also awesome just saying as a baseline comparison) @preparedairman
Rock on man, been a fan of your stuff for a while
Ps. I wish ares armor still existed, I love that combat xiii mini pack you have. I bought one way back
Good stuff, need to rattlecan that rifle tho 9:15.
the only problem with this set up is it wont work for us well endowed girls!!! but its a great idea otherwise!!
If youre that endowed have the dudes carry that shit for ya! And God bless ya!
Good vid, thanks! I like not having a lot of stuff on my back because I tend to get very hot. Plus where I'm at, the humidity is often 90%+. I like belt rigs for that reason, but my rig won't hold as much stuff as yours. If you dropped some of your gear in the front pouch to a belt, would that let you get flatter when going prone? Also, in bear country I think that I'd want my pistol in a set up that let me get to it much faster.
Full Tang Tactical!
Great video and common sense ideas. Quick question…why the black stick? Big target indicator IMO. Thanks!
Yea yea yea you've done all these cool exercises in the kit.......but have you done karate in the garage with it 😂 sick kit though
Now you've turned that light chestrig into a real heavy chest right.
Weight is based on perspective. 16lb could be considered heavy for some but if you compare it to a plate carrier then it would be considered light...
Maybe you should do more squats
I really like your setup. The only thing I would change is the chem light sticks. Those things are garbage in my experience.
How are chemlights garbage "in your experience"?
If you wear that in the military, I'd like to see how you prone out if under fire. I'm old school vet and when I was in we had the H-cotton harness and gear on our web belt with a butt pack. We trained to keep the front pretty open so we could lay down and become one with the ground. I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.
Have you tried a belt suspenders kit to run your pistol water more mags ect?
What brand of radio microphone are you running there? I run an actual Kenwood, but can't find anymore. I might buy one of those for a spare.
You carry more crap then my wife. 4 bajillian tdy's later, I can pack a weeks worth in my day bag. After leaving my a2 bag with all my armour under my bunk for 10 months at so dam insane airport I figured out that going light is best. Now that I am going greyman, jacket with tons of pockets, and a hippie style waterproof dump bag for a 72 hour get home. Pocket knife, glocket in the pocket, water and snacks, fire starter kit, and my wobbie.
Which walkie talkie do you use?
Oh, I noticed that you don't run a pistol belt. Is that for ease of movement?
Based on the name of the video, it seems more like it serves the purpose of a quick to don, self contained kit. Throw it over your head, grab your rifle and go. Then again, we don't see what's on his waist, but, it seems like a 10mm auto loader should handle anything you need a pistol for. But like you said, it may be for the purpose of keeping light an agile, or that may just be a perk.
Awesome 😎
Great breakdown, you're doing some interesting stuff with your kit. Just curious , what's your AFSC and what state are you stationed in?
Would an LBE be more comfortable? Seems like a lot of weight out front.
I have used several LBEs before, and I haven't found one that works well for me. Can they work? Of course, they are a good system if outfitted properly.
The main reason I go with a chest rig is freeing up your back and entire waistline. This greatly helps you when you throw on a heavy large ruck and you hike for miles every day.
Question regarding the exapantion wings, the full tang one comes with 2 molle column, while the beez comes with 3, what is your opinion? I like having 3 columns but you mention you had to use zipties to sucure it
Good video…I noticed you don’t paint your rifles….why not??
A couple of my rifles are painted just not my 11.5 BCM. It's easier to get a GAT Wrap from Beez combat systems. It allows you to change based on environments and seasons.
newbie but just from a spinal side of the things shouldn't you relief some of the weight from your back by distributing at least half of the weight on your weist belt rather then everting weight on your back that for sure is going to wear you faster and not to mention and back pain that most people over 30 have especially if you tried stupid sports or fall hard biking.
It's mainly what you are comfortable with. This kit weighs 13lbs, which realistically is very heavy at all. My Active Duty plate carrier that I use on a daily bases is 30lbs, so 13 is very easy to manage. If you move stuff to a battle belt it is extremely difficult to use a sustainament pack.
What kind of unit are you in?
What are you using for hearing protection with this setup? I’d imagine using something like Peltor Comtac’s would be ideal for radio communication. Standard foam inserts are fine but then you lose the ambient audio that some electronic headsets allow for. Curious to hear your thoughts.
I do use peltor comtac 3s sometimes if i will be doing a lot of com work. But I prefer to use the Surefire EP4s 90% of the time.. Small , lightweight, reasonably cheap, and you can still hear most ambient sounds around you. If you need to listen very intently, I just pop them out.
What about going prone?
It is the same as a plate carrier. Mags are always upfront, and they will always take up space.
Hey bud isn’t the atf going after smoke and flash bang grenades? Probably look into it to be on the safe side.
Luckily, this was filmed prior to that decision. Also, IWA (The manufacturer of these items) classifies their items as pyrotechnics. You also need a certification to own and use them (which I have). Its a shame it has come to that.
@@PreparedAirman ah gotcha, thanks for the clarification. And yeah it’s crazy how much they had try to infringe. Hopefully the courts will stand with us. Really cool rig btw!
What pistol pouches are on that if u don’t mind me asking
How is it with that bottle and dangler in that position?
How do you run radio antenna? Or is it just a stubby?
I carry two lengths of anttens but typically use an 18 inch whip. It pokes out the back behind my right arm so it doest interfere with anything.
@@PreparedAirman ok thanks, I have been trying to figure that one out haha, I actually have considered a cable and zip ties to attach the antenna to the back of the harness 🤷
How does this work when you are proned out? Too thick? Not a concern?
It doesn't bother me too much. Extended time prone it gets annoying (a couple hours straight) but I'm a fairly skinny and in shape guy (5'11" 150lbs) so it doesn't have that big of an effect going prone. Now if I was using a marksman rifle and I was going to live in a "hide" all day every day I would use a split rig so I could get lower to the ground.
@@PreparedAirman makes total sense:
Thanks.
Sooooooooo……. How do you go prone with all that gear in your front?
In the same way, you would go prone with a plate carrier with placard or IOTV in the last 20 years.
I think body armor is very important, possibly could save your life multiple times.
Absolutely, I agree you should have a carrier and armor. I have one setup as well, but it is used in a different context.
I use a carrier with armor in more of a defensive aspect. Neighborhood protection or stationary security.
If I am maneuvering over terrain long distance, I will not use a plate carrier due to the weight and fitment with a ruck on.
👍
Hey brother, hit me up. Would enjoy sharing some comparison of concepts and use of equipment and weapons
@toddburns9367 you’re obviously a keyboard warrior trapped in mommys basement eating cheetohs , drinking grape soda and playing COD!
Lol
Great kit! Love it all but those BeoFeng radios are suicide. They will get you killed. I always see smart guys with great kit sporting toy radios for lack of better options. Spend the extra money. We wouldnt spend money on the cheapest weapon or the cheapest armour. Spend the money. Get the comms.
How specifically is running a feng going to "get you killed"?
Think the reason no one has done this, is because if you have to go prone with all that gear on your front. You will get picked off very easy.
If you take the pistol out, which i said i would. It's the same width as a plate carrier with a placard just lighter.
Room temp IQ comment. Go look at soldiers and marines fighting in Iraq and Afghan. They have FAR more shit on their front and were fine. Going prone doesnt mean shit if you are out of cover.
Meh. You have all this great gear but its not with you because you have other gear on the rig instead which doesnt seem to be mission specific. So it seems you need a bigger rig or addition of backpack. All. The. Time.
Yes, I use a small assault style pack for NODs, thermal, water, wet/cold weather gear, socks, batteries, and other items in conjunction with this. It's just not shown in this video. If I did show this, the video would be extremely long.
Is that what you are referring to?
🦭🦭
TH-cam unsubcribed me. Nice
Too much stuff. You might have gone training, but you haven’t gone to war in your kit. But maybe it’s good enough for survival, quick firefight and get out.
This is an extremely slimed down kit from what I was carrying in Afghanistan for almost a year... Ultimately, it would be METTTC that would determine. Could you reference a sustained operation that you carried anything less than 7 mags, water, comm gear, snacks, and an Ifak? (And that doesn't even contain mission required gear).
🤣😂 so sad.
You are in the US, who are you getting ready to attack? What about the other hundred pounds of gear you recommend?
What gear do I recommend?
I’m so happy I found your channel🫵🏻🫡 thank you for good explanation and layout!
Need more than a 10mm for that Grizzly bear 🙏🤔
OK, but where does it stop? You gonna carry around a spare Barrett .50? Really, to get much better than a 10mm, it'd be a revolver, but then round capacity would be limited. So, what are your suggestions? He's carrying a rifle already, that's a good start.
@@thewatcher611 there are many choices, but you could start with a 300 WinMag that should do the trick
@patriotordinance9695 the minuteman setup is not 100% focused on bear defense. Sure if he was hunting bear it'd make more sense to equip for that occasion, remember his purpose
Tarp, shotgun. You are obviously a child. When you need gear, you don't have skill.
If you think an Active Duty combat vet doesn't have any skill, you just pissed off a lot of veterans in the country lol
From a place you cannot see comes a sound you will not hear
@billradley You should watch more of my videos. I reference my experience deployed in 3rd world countries often.
