@@ForgottenWeapons thanks. It's nice to see there are a few other people in the world with some taste. As someone who wears a Utilikilt workman almost every single day I greatly appreciate the modernized utility kilts. An I have several from a few different places and I might need to add on of these to my collection. Also if you're interested in camo Kilts I'd take a look at Stumptown Kilts as well. They have rip stop digital camo Kilts as well as an awesome M81 woodland style twill kilt.
I met the guy and exchanged a few words. I can tell you the way he carries himself, there's not a hint of weakness. He's just well spoken and collected person.
Hello there. A Kilt wearing tip for "colder" conditions. 1. A heavier Kilt with thicker material. 2. Combine the Kilt with long, thick socks or thick calf warmers if you don't like thicker socks. Above this you wear army gaiters. I prefer the old ones, like the Swiss army gaiters. I'm not scottish or a sports shooter, but I love to hike in a Kilt, even in winter conditions, never had any issues. AND if you want to go the extra step, add an old school british army kilt cover made from heavy canvas. This is how they did it in WW1.
Now strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. But an Ian lying in a water logged trench distributing WWSDs I can get around to.
I appreciate that all of the content creators staggered their videos out over the span of a week so the audiences weren't overwhelmed with watching the same stuff.
I work with one of those, been solidly below 0°F every morning all week and there he is walking out to his bus in khaki shorts. He’s lucky they start the buses for us about an hour before we arrive. It is true that if you keep moving, the legs will take care of themselves for the most part; but I prefer having a couple layers on em if it gets anywhere below 0°F. I once walked past the Fort Richardson, Alaska gate thermometer with just jeans on my legs when it said -26°F, but I was feeling like needles were poking into my thighs whilst doing it.
Saw a video about a incident where that happened to an officer engaging armed shooters; kept hitting the wall instead of shooting over it. In the heat of the moment, never even noticed.
Oh the trench stage was called Konnunsuo, which does not only translate as "Swamp of the Shire", but is an actual swamp in Eastern Finland. I have some very bad memories wading through that particular swamp. 😅
@@Howjadoo22 well, the story is not so great in written form, to be honest. 😃But there is this military event held quite regularly around that area and the terrain there is just shitfuck to cross over. The idea with the event is to basically orienteer yourself from point to point until you reach the goal, and you have 24 hrs to do this. The distance to be covered is something around 55-80 km, depending on your chosen track and the "mission parameters" given at the checkpoints. Well, there are thick (!) forests, very unpleasant clearings, tall hills and a LOT of swamps. When you're about armpit deep in a freezing cold swamp, you just hope to die as quickly as possible. I've been to the event a few times, never reached the finish line. Varusteleka team has managed to finish at least once I think.
@@onr-o1h This is very close to what our marches was like. First we did it as a full company. And later we all did it again as a scout patrol(just 2 of us). #OhiOn
I don't really know if pants would have helped. Wool pants can help you retain body heat when wet - unless you are constantly moving in the water. If the water is moving, it carries the heat away not matter what. Ripstop cotton is completely worthless at holding heat when wet. The only think that might had helped is some sort of water-proof layer and I don't think anyone was going to that extreme.
synthetic fleece. I was river kayaking "far off-season" and fell in before I got proficient in the Eskimo roll. Perfectly warm and then I realized my sleeves were still soaked. I squeezed out the water, but didn't have to as I was comfortable and warm otherwise.

Wearing a kilt in freezing weather... the Scottish part of my family salutes you. The Danish/Norwegian part of my family says Hva pokker! The Canadian part my my family says Tabarnak. The English side of my family says something about Damn Scots and something about a battle I've never heard of. Great run.
Yah, sure, but for real Brutality, need to run it in July or August mid-day. I'll shoot Cajun division, complete with white shrimper's boots and overalls.
"It's really hard to get a good camera angle..." Considering the fact that you were wearing a kilt, I think many of us are glad that there wasn't a "good camera angle" on that first firing position...
I was hoping for this to be uploaded. Really nice to see what was going on in the stages, there was some great variance with people. The In Range footage seemed very straightforward which probably didn't show the full reality of the possible difficulties. I wasn't too surprised that you were strong in the very physical stages and can benefit from athleticism. I don't envy having to kneel in the snow without any pants.
If this was XCOM he'd get a boost to his mobility and defence, but he would be more vulnerable to grenades (on account of the weak under-armour). And fire.
It actually speaks to the quality of these stages that you ran into exactly the same problems any infantry soldier runs into during their training. Muzzle clear, having your rifle combat ready, the crawling and being surprised by how hard that is, several other issues you mentioned... this is a very very nice setup and really makes you hit the same problems a real infantyman run into. I remember all these issues very well :) And well done :D And I know exactly what you mean by this being rewarding. When I had my 13 week platoon leader training I didn't do as well as I wanted to in a lot of things, but it was the most rewarding 13 weeks of my life :) And I know exactly how all of this stuff feels :) Those 13 weeks were also in bavarian winter, at times below -10° C with lots of snow. You did really well for someone with zero military training. The issues ran into are so common, it really takes some experience to avoid those. You'll improve :) Great job :)
".... I could have made the 13 hits, I made more than 13 shots which is rather disappointing to me" Yeah, I mean you were balls deep in ice cold water Ian. Don't be too hard on yourself, that is not at all easy.
Animals are just over 20% efficient coinventing food energy to movement. Thus, in events like this one a person is generating heat energy in the realm of a space heater. The instant one stops the heat production slows and one can get teeth chattering cold really fast.
The problem with hitting your own cover with the rifle is a problem you need to experience and adapt to. It was easier not to hit it when you use iron sights as the barrel is much closer to the sights. What I started to do, is to ALWAYS put my hand first at the cover and then the rifle in the hand. There you have a 1 or 2 cm height naturally that usually get the barrel over. If the cover have higher obstructions for the barrel, I put my forearm at the nearest edge and adjust the resting point to heighten or lower the barrel. EDIT: Btw, looks really fun!
Could you some time introduce the stage staff's device they use for apparently timing, for people who haven't been to gun matches? It's not a regular stopwatch definitely, does it have more functionality? The staff also often holds it up high behind the shooter as well, or right next to their head.

Wearing a kilt is actually the best thing you can do when wading through shallow water like that. That way you don't have ice-cold waterlogged fabric pressed against your legs. Standard practice for people on a long hike/march encountering water like that is to strip off everything from the waist down, and keep it dry in your pack.

Ian was definitely one of those kids at school who wore shorts in freezing temperatures mid winter and somehow wasn’t cold
i dunno about freezing but legs dry quicker than trousers
Surprisingly keeping the upper body warm is more important than the legs. And feet of course since moving on freezing feet is hell.
They called him Ian "Mallard" McCollum.
He’s only cold when it’s cool to be cold.
I work with one of those, been solidly below 0°F every morning all week and there he is walking out to his bus in khaki shorts. He’s lucky they start the buses for us about an hour before we arrive.

A genuine kilt is really thick and heavy so it's actually quite warm, and your legs would be heavily wrap to knees/just above the knees
Three minutes of zero degrees water or rain won't be enough to cause harm to a moving man or youth.
And it saves on the dry clothing.
Its a no brainer, style over hypothermia obviously

A lot of ranges down here are built in or near lowlands because nobody else will build there. So there are probably some.

Wearing a kilt is actually the best thing you can do when wading through shallow water like that. That way you don't have ice-cold waterlogged fabric pressed against your legs. Standard practice for people on a long hike/march encountering water like that is to strip off everything from the waist down, and keep it dry in your pack.
