I love that you talk about the pack, repack, repack again. It’s so important u till u have a standard system ur used to. That and leaving space for more on the fly gear
Great video! In fact, probably the best I've seen on the subject. Very thorough and well thought out with sound reasoning behind everything. There are lots of great nuggets of knowledge and tips in all of your videos and I really appreciate the channel and all the info that you're putting out.
Greets from Finland - fantastic channel! I like your calm and accurate style to share your appreciated knowledge in every video, I have become a huge fan of you during the last few weeks. Very informative and useful content for every prepper and shooter enthusiast, very accurate points of skills and sustainment what really keeps your ability to be ready for shtf-situations. Many other channels focusing on personal surviving preparation and fighting skills don't actually have this kind of clear or reality related points of view about these things - it's not only about shooting bullseyes in range and collecting jars to your basement and in the same time putting not so much effort to your personal physical fitness or ability to survive in wilderness etc. Nice little curiosities. That's what makes the difference, as you also mention. Actually, your videos inspired me to purchase that Mayflower style rig last week and organize my gear a bit following your suggestions. I have trained practical shooting and military skills with PC and battle belt for years but looked after chestrigs until now which one would be great for me, and which is usable with plates and/or rucksack if the situation requires. Great job, mate!
Great post, first time i went in, we got issued 58 pattern kit, it seemed great at the time, when i re-enlisted i was surprised to see how much it had all improved. Though i preferred the old version camouflage jackets and trousers.
It’s over there in the Watcha MaCallit on top of the thing, a ma jiggy😂 And that’s exactly where it is. A quote from my grandfather World War II eighth infantry foot soldier.
My question is where would you consider a gas mask to go... In the thrive , survive or in the fighting kit.... Hard to say as it can fit into all three categories.... It's the bulky feature of the mask that makes it hard to decide where to keep it. FYI I'm in a major city so gas is expected to be encountered but also near desert, mountains and evergreen Forrests
I've become a convert to PLCE. I have a DPM tailored webbing set where the pouches have been seen into the padding belt. It has 4 ammo pouches and 3 storage pouches so it's pretty versatile. I've been considering running it with the two zip-off patrol pack sections from the bergen attached on the rear of the webbing as a sort of light-fighting setup (it's kinda hot here in Florida).
@@Echo_Mike Definitely! I've been experimenting with running in conjunction with my JPC 1 plate carrier and haven't decided yet whether I want to have the carrier over the webbing or vice versa. I've been thinking of the PLCE as "extended operations" kit -extra ammo, sustainment, cleaning kit, etc. and the JPC+items in my uniform pockets being the "fighting load" kit. Still working out the setup though. Your videos are a great guide.
What is the official name of that Pack? I want to buy one. With the 🇬🇧 and I will fly 🇺🇸 next to it. After all we are brothers! I live in Arizona, Glendale 1.5 miles from the State Farm stadium 🏟️ there are two types of Multicam not sure if the pack comes in Arid Multicam. Thank you again for taking the time to make the video set up a Patron account I will definitely support your efforts brother.
Layering gear across person (1st line), fighting load (2nd line), and ruck (3rd line) - seems to have become standard across US forces and allies - all that cross-training with Aussies and Brits was great for swaping best TTPs. Thanks for the refesher. What is the ruck used in the video? Fortis Fortuna Juvat
Is there a reason that you carry the line 1 TQ in your arm pocket? I was taught to keep them on my centerline so they can be reached with either (remaining functional) arm. Would it work better for access in one of the Napoleon pockets?
Great comment: TQ placement seems to be dependent on unit, nation or individual. I often wear armour with my jacket so chest pockets are always left empty of life saving equipment. In general, as long as it’s visible and your mates know where everyone keeps them - that’s the main thing
Like the channel. A couple of quick questions though: 1) do you not use dummy cord on flashlight, pocket knife, multi tool etc? 2) you have two TQs, one right sleeve pocket, one rear right kidney area, if your right arm is disabled/lost can you reach them with full kit on left handed?
Welcome to the channel, I will attach them with chord. I find myself swapping out kit so much for these videos recently I havnt attached them, TQs I have 4 on my person - TQ placement seems to be very personal to each individual’s philosophy
Dear EM thank for the very informative presentation. Is it more preferable to keep your medical stuff inside an IFAK pouch than spread your medical item across your lines so that your squad members can know where to locate them on you? Lastly, mess tin on the webbing (line 2) or in the bergen (line3)?
Appreciate the comment; medical is. It my area of expertise but an IFAK is a must. I also spread medical on my gear as I like to always have access to something - as long as your team knows and you all agree on SOPs. The webbing is a bridge between level 2 and 3 gear. So included that as an example, if I have webbing I’ll keep it there, if I run a plate carrier or chest rig my mess tins will be in my pack
Thank you for many precious advices. I bought an Alice Backpack L. Admittedly I was warned against it. Unfortunedly I was "seduced" by the oppinion of an experienced Marines, who has his channel. The Alice Pack squicks and the belts pressed out of any proportion. Have you any oppinion with regard to this item? Stay safe. Regards K.Ch.

Great instructional - I am not a newbie, but watched anyway and still learned from it. Thanks for the good and hard work of making these!
Appreciate it, glad to have you here!

When wearing a pack for long rucks, having a front counterbalance works wonders.
i carry individual packs of pre workout, too. I had them kicking around so i put them in my sustainment pouch, just in case
Same here, stores always have the free sample packs
Knowing where all the kit is so it can be accessed with no issues in the dark is base line for me.
100%
