The internet told me these cons - 1. Double stacked magazines make it literally impossible to fall over, so you can't go prone. Also they weigh so much you won't be able to move, not a single step. 2. It's not molle modular and cannot be useful in any way unless it is highly configurable. 3. Can't be added to a plate carrier, so you will not be able to able to use it when you need to make an emergency switch between chest rig and plate carrier. The internet told me these pros - 1. Double stacked magazines means you can carry a combat load and no one ever complained about too much ammunition. 2. It's not molle modular, so less layers of material, makes it so light, you actually float a little bit when running with it on. 3. Can't be added to a plate carrier, which is good because you will never wear a plate carrier when moving.
Thank you for actually showing the rig with a pack. All these other reviews just show it on the table and that has left the ruck compatibility a mystery.
I have been using my chest rig alot more than my plate carrier since my training has moved to more patrolling . I am now in the process of setting up a light support weapon (AR RPK ) . I have been contemplating a loadout setup for that system . I am thinking more of a belt system for using the prone position more often . Also looking for pouches for 40rd pmags, D60 drums , and maybe even 100rd drums if reliable ones can be acquired.
I really wish this was more tailored to work with a plate carrier as a placard. I’m not a fan of the “wearing a rig over a slick carrier” thing when this has 2/3 of what it needs to work with one (top buckles, back Velcro). I don’t think the angled side buckles give me enough comfort increase to justify it being a pain in the ass with side stabilizer straps on a plate carrier cummerbund. As a civilian I want one loadout. One set of mags ready to go, one radio, one GPS, one med kit and then be able to wear it with or without armor.
A few questions related details of gear set-up rather than the chest rig. 1) Why is the decompression needle external to the IFAK? Tension pneumothorax takes time to develop, so the risk of losing the needle seems to outweigh the potential benefit of staging it like the TQ. 2) Is your motorola HT capable of transceiving in the HF band? Given that 1/4 dipole antenna for UHF is approximately 6 inches, and VHF is approximately 18 inches, I don't see what a 48 inch antenna gains you that couldn't be better accomplished packing the materials to build a jungle and/or yagi antenna, or a 40m or 80m horizontally modulated antenna for NVIS. 3) How comfortable is that dangler for prolonged periods in the prone in an OP or on the ambush line? Thanks.
1) It is just a feature of the IFAK when it comes to additional storage options. Not all users of the IFAK may fight themselves living out of a rucksack and are at constant risk of losing the item (nor does it seem likely as it has good retention). 2) The Motorola XTL5000 comes in VHF, UHF1 (380-470), UHF2 (450-520) or 700/800. This version in particular is a VHF radio. In LOS communications, higher antennas allow for both better reception quality and transmissions. In initial field testing, this antenna gave us the ability to receive traffic from a mobile source at 7 miles away (through rolling elevation) and allowed us to transmit 2.5-3miles away. Which is much better than standard 6-8” antennas which could not receive at that distance not transmit. Jungle antennas are useful tools, but not always applicable. 3) Couldn’t tell you. From experience, laying in the prone for hours in full kit sucks regardless of the dangler.
Do you use BNC/SMA adapters for your radios so you can easily switch antennas and/or avoid wearing out the relatively smaller threads?@@EverydayCitizensTactical
I would say I preferred the mayflower over this rig. Though I gained more rifle magazines with the RECCE Rig, I was able to carry a more diverse gear load-out with the Mayflower.
Either deaf or blin but wasn't able to find the 2 molle wide GP pouch from highspeed gear, and wondering what com pouch that is? thank you if you see this and respond!

god, i might just do a video on my recce rig then, because ive made it to where there are no cons lol

That 3rd molle space is actually why I went with the trex arms one and I gotta say I’m pretty happy with it
FYI the T Rex Arms hydro pouch only takes up 2 molle slots. Fits great on my recce rig with a canteen or Nalgene in the pouch

Belt kit and Chest rigs are for sure the better way to carry an Auto-rifleman load out.
Tactical tailor used to make D60 pouches, but they've been out of production for a lil bit now.
Well done brother! Always look forward to your content.
Awesome video! The background changes are great! Keep up the great work!
Keep the change background changes coming. Always great to mix things up from time to time

Using this rig for my go to setup works nice
How does the esstac double stack 556 kywi insert fit in the pouches I’ve been looking at trying it but wasn’t sure it’ll wrk
Does Onward Research even own a lab? Pretty sus frfr, no cap
Micah? Is that you?
Like a black lab? I heard he prefers the Chesapeake Bay Retriever.
I heard their lab is right next to the Strangling Dora Institute building
Would you move your radio to the outside mag pouch and then add an additional 2 molle GP pouch? Do you like this more than your Mayflower?
I would say I preferred the mayflower over this rig. Though I gained more rifle magazines with the RECCE Rig, I was able to carry a more diverse gear load-out with the Mayflower.
Could I get the parts list for the pouches you used for the molle?
Either deaf or blin but wasn't able to find the 2 molle wide GP pouch from highspeed gear, and wondering what com pouch that is? thank you if you see this and respond!
High Speed Gear Mini Radio / Utility Pouch & 5.11 Radio Pouch are the exact pouches being run on this rig. Hope that helps!
No issues with it if I have a belt… with out a belt it doesn’t have enough space past the mags.
Awesome
Why not go with dino boy rig, straight up copy of this one with 3 rows of molle
Lol No it isn't. It has a lot of features this one doesn't.
looks uncomfortable asf lmao
