If you can't afford armor, but bought a plate carrier anyways, just fill it with tannerite.
Ha ha ha
Ala aloha snackbar
If you add some type of water barrier between your body and the tannerite, the blast'll project more outwards
WTF. That was too funny. To any liberal out there he is right.
If you do that, you won't need to carry anything else...like American Express. If you are still confused, look for the video where the guy uses tannerite to bring down an old barn.
Algorithm positive comment
I'm a Crye guy. Love it. My bank account got a restraining order on me after I abused it with the withdrawal to pay for my carrier, Airframe helmet, and battle belt though. Still not on speaking terms.
Lmao I hear ya man my account filed for divorce !
Still waiting for my Airlite SPC!
How much roughly was did it all cost?
@@user-mj5ef7ym6x depending on your options anywhere from $3500 to around 5k for a complete 'Cage' system with all options for both it, the helmet, the high back battle belt, soft armor inserts for carrier and battle belt, load transfer system which transfers most of the weight from whatever you are carrying on your upper body to your hips reducing fatigue to your back. Honestly the sheer amount of options and customization is crazy. You can just get a carrier of course and that is up to around $1500 depending on what model you want/need. All I can say is be certain and realistic with what you really need. There are plenty of great kits out there that won't cost the equivalent of a down-payment on a car. Having said that, it's like getting ready for a mission wrapped in the Gucci of kits and equipment with top of the line functionality. Paying for the brand but also it's everything you ever wanted with no compromises because you are getting or not getting exactly what you chose after going through every option.
@@user-mj5ef7ym6x as always....Possible vs Probable......if anyone would want to understand this simple thing....All it's possible...BUT ...not ALL it's probable...so prepare for what's probable ,not what is possible.
With this being said, I do understand how this discussion, also falls under the category of wanting "he latest and greatest"....never understanding that is not reachable
That Buc-ee's patch is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro I just saw a video and discovered buc ees earlier today
I hope they still carry them. Gonna head down to one next weekend!
Bro i just got out of buc-ees😂
If you want to skip through the repettiveness of the armor levels in the beginning skip to after 9mins
My suggestions for armor + carrier depending on your budget
>$200: Get a proper battle belt setup if you don't have one already
>$300: Get a chest rig
$300-450: Condor MOPC + RMA lvl IV Ceramics
$500-1000: Hesco L210s or RMA lvl 3+ Ceramics + Spiritus Systems Overt, Ferro Concepts Slickster, Varusteleka Sarma, HRT RAC, Esstac Daeodon, and various others.
If you've got the money to go super Gucci: Hesco 3810s or some legit grey market ESAPIs plus whatever the latest Crye carrier is or the Ferro Concepts FCPC.
Why level 4 in the lower budget and level 3+ higher? Are level 4 plates cheaper?
So lvl IV plates can be really affordable or crazy expensive depending on the materials, structure and manufacturer. You can get a pair of basic, certified lvl IV plates from RMA for under $300, but they're gonna weigh about as much as AR500 lvl III plates and they're a little bulky. On the other hand, you can spend like $650-1000 per plate for some really, really nice lvl IV plates that are going to be between 4.5-6 lbs per plate and be multi-hit rated
the repetitive explanation perfectly did the job for a slow learner like me lol. Thumbs up!
anybody who has a child in school or college please buy them a panel for their backpack, chances are they'll never need it but if they ever do you would never forgive yourself for sending them unprepared.
Great idea!
Sure, it's easier and cheaper than building a decent society!
@@feidtublec just a fact of life that we live in a world where people go into schools and shoot innocent children and they’re the ones that will be trying to build this better society you speak off.
@@feidtublec You can have an excellent society but evil will always exist. Period.
Lol sending them to school these days is a pipe dream for reality when the actuality is letting school boards dictate your children while the f.b.i. labels you as a domestic terrorist if you make your concerns voiced they ignore until you as a parent show said concern
Home schooling has been revisited
@@user-mj5ef7ym6x Ive done a pretty good job raising my children so far they just laugh at the liberal bs their teachers try to push on them and they’ve had their fair share of debates in class with these libtards.
Team Badassery Sent Me. I love BDU's stuff. Almost every month I am buying something I need and you guys always got it.
Very informative video. I give the link to this video whenever someone asks about general information body armor and plate carriers.
Thanks for the excellent video. It answered a lot of the questions I had and was very informative!
Good to hear!
A very good class I enjoyed it. Plus I picked up a couple of things
That wall is amazing.
Great info! Precise, to the point and not alot of ums and ahhs to fill in "blind brain" spots. Thanks
Ounces = pounds= PAIN.... it's all about the K.I.S.S method. ( Ferro concept, slickster, lv IV ceramics, triple mag holder with blow out kit, good2go for me, when I'm larping mom's basement on a SAR OP looking for my Garand thumb Japanese love pillow.
All about that multi curve 3+. Lvl 4 is overhyped imo lol.
@@MobileAura not at all . its worth the price. Question is, is your life worth the price ?
@@MobileAura. Lvl 4 is not overhyped at all lol
@@belayasmert9943 In what sense? You think more weight/bulk is worth the .000001% chance someone is using m855a1 instead of regular GTs? I’d rather save 4-10 pounds and thinner plate over that small chance. Why not go with level 5 while we’re at it, Xsapi? 😀 I think 3+ is the best plate overall due to weight + what it covers. My ram 1094 will do the trick for 99.99% of altercations that there is already a .01% chance of happening, and I’m a safety first person, I’m annoyingly safe, but level 4 ain’t it.
@@MobileAura LV III+ steel is hella lot heavier then LV IV ceramics. I'll take a lighter carrier with added protection and its sapi not conjuction with , like steel plates.ESAPI. i have both LVIII+ 10x12 steel. And LV IV ceramics all day long over steel plates
Anytime someone says something about overloading a plate carrier I think of James Yeager. I don’t doubt that he has a use for every single thing on it, and that it’s there for a reason, but holy shit. I can’t imagine carrying all that extra weight.
But it’s okay, because he squats
@Pavel Manzhetov You are an idiot. Steel sucks. But if we ever meet in the boog, thanks for the gear
@@creekochee3592 Got proof of that? Steel plates last longer and provide overall far greater protection then composite or ceramic plates.
@@Predator42ID _laughs in M193 from a 20" barrel_
Considering I specifically bought .30 cal AP rounds in 2007 before Obama got in and hot loaded them...
And M855A1 EPR / M80A1 EPR is rather specifically designed to defeat level 3 armor...
Should we boog, it's kinda likely.
Good class. Subscribed.
I love that Buckies patch🤩
Great informative video, I feel like the curvature of the plate should be brought up. I’ve seen to many people show up to a class, never having worn plates before, and they show up with a flat or single curve plate and being miserable the whole time because they didn’t even know multi curve plates were a thing.
Mobility can be even more effective than armor for protecting your life. Don't stand there and take multiple hits because you are not mobile enough to get to cover or concealment. But if you are not mobile for other reasons, like myself as an above knee amputee, invest in the heavier protection and look at lower weight options. And pray you never need them.
Confined spaces also tend to leave little manuvering room.
@DNFU I can see where he's coming from though. Most people, if we're being honest with ourselves, are not operating, clearing compounds. So in an environment that we would typically be in, mobility would be a key thing.
Warrior assault systems plate carriers in my opinion are the way to go, and ceramic plates level 4 and higher from shot stop armour
Spartan armor. AR550 3+
My son is going to be a dad in September, so I got him this backpack just for himself to carry. Gonna fill it with great baby “need to have stuff”
Great video
What’s the brand /manufacturer of your current plate carrier ?
19:40. It is a custom basis if “that pouch” is worth the altered technique.
Superb presentation. 👍
Nice show up video Bill . Thank you for sharing.Do you have any recommand that what kind of the thing equip that we better can put on the side commebund will not againest the pistol.

May you put the link for all these carriers
I only run SteelOps Body Armor in a Javlin JAC carrier.
Just picked a plate carrier up from them. Thanks for the comment.
Who fact checked this? The most popular LE soft armor level is IIIA, not II or IIA. The vast majority of patrol LE wear IIIA rating for handguns. SWAT and most entry officers wear hard plates of III or IV rifle rating, not IIIA handgun rating, because they’re more likely to meet rifle caliber threats.
Actually that is wrong most police forces have uses, still use, and will use II or IIA. SWAT also don't use 3a usually so that is correct. They wear level 3-4 depending on the threat level
@@SyphonGaming no, the most common armor worn by patrol officers is IIIA now.
So this was a awesome video but did anyone hear him say what name brand these plate carriers were??? I sure didn’t.... lol would be helpful to know who made these plate carriers.
The best option is a level 3a concealed every day carry soft armor with a at home level 3+ plate carrier for range days or if thugs move into your area and start trouble
Hey Bill, any chance B.D.U. will have some decent plate carriers on the website? I was surprised to see the lack of selection.
We’ve got some coming soon!
Hey quick question , is it sound thinking for a large farmer as I am now , to wear a backpack on as part of my loadout any kind of extra long patrol...instead of extra gadgets on the , not that you wouldn't carry one anyway....of course . It's just as if the Army and Marines loudout for missions everyday....corret ?/
Can anyone help me? What kind of plate carrier is the OD one on the right?
I use beskar plates
What price are you looking at for minimalist rig? Carrier & plate both? Say your old rig exactly. That's what I'd be looking for.

I’m gonna borrow that
The Buc-ee’s patch brought me here 👍
Level 4 will stop a 30-06 ap.... but maybe not a 9mm? I understand what you were saying but since speed kills armor its hard to believe that a level 4 plate even needs to be certified below level 4. Seems implied that things kind of overlap
If he refers to a nine mil by thirty nine AP, then I can kinda understand that. Such a bullet can defeat IV+ plates like the ESAPI at close range.
..I look at it as MORE of a ‘disclaimer’...
What plate carriers are depicted in the video?
Trauma pads or soft armor? Behind plates. Which will help with the....
anyone know how reputable Mira Tactical or Agilite are on their ceramic body armor??
Anyone know what the name of the plate carrier in the middle in the thumbnail is called
Good day sir , can you send the link where i purchase ? Nice information sir .thanks
what plate carrier is this green one ?
What is that carrier with the strap on it and the qd mount on it
Kevlar is smoked or catalyzd paints
Was saving up to get some of these but I got a kidney transplant instead.
What will a lvl 3A soft armor and an lvl 3A+ standalone hard armor offer?....is that going to be on par with a lvl4 ? ...because it seems more interesting from a weight saving point of view
On the video title picture. What plate carrier is on the far right side of the picture?
Some of these guy out there are so big they need to order humvee doors for cover 🙄
🙃🤣😂
Their carriers look like Band-Aids stuck on them Modelo guts. Murica!

what brand is the OD green PC on the right?
Can anybody tell me which make and model that RG plate carrier is on the right side? (With the Texas patch) it seems to have all the features I’m looking for!
DFNDR QRC
Anyone know whT at brand is the best on the right? OD Green one
message me when you find out. i wanna know too.
It takes the nij extensive testing to find out if a bullet will go through it? Did they try shooting it?
When it comes to life saving equipment "just shooting it" isn't good enough.
What happens if you use two soft armor together???
Would it be light and super protective???
Nope, might feel better for pistol threats but it will not stop higher threats
I would like to buy one
President is awesome buddy armors fantastic awesome beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍🌧

Awesome info, also what company makes those plate carriers? Are they made by big daddy himself?
Yes! These are produced through Big Daddy Manufacturing
@@BigDaddyUnlimited thanks for the quick response!
It seem harder and harder to find carriers that hold both soft and hard armors. Balcs and spear cut vest seem to be very limited. Anyone have any suggestions or information on new models ?
The plate carrier trend is a thing.

Stealth Armor Systems Velox carrier.
@@allthecommonsense I just looked them up. Very cool. Thanks for the recommendation. I wish the big names would go back to the soft and hard armor combo.
@bigtruck guy Very cool. Just looked it up. Not too bad.
I know this has been asked a few times, but I can't seem to find the answer... Does anyone know what Brand/Model his Current Carrier is? The grey one in the middle? The one he demonstrates the removeable placards with...
They commented on another comment and said the green pc on the right was a Defender brand, so it wouldn’t surprise me if all the PCs shown are from Defender as well.
I'm a fan of having body armor, just dropped money on some Hesco 3810,s to change out my steel plates. I may not be the most tactically inclined, but I really don't understand why body armor is being advertised for home defense. Most home invasions are going to take place during the day time unless someone is specifically after you. Unless you have taken a defensive position like locking yourself in a room, you are not going to have the time to put on armor. Even then, if you have kids or something you need to protect, you're going to act offensively by grabbing your gun and getting shit done. Especially if we're talking the bump in the night where you're most likely asleep. It takes time to figure what's going on and make a decision. This takes more time to do when you're awoken from sleep and have to make important and sometimes complex decisions, lol I do that for a living. It just sounds like bad tactics and a false sense of security to me. This is also under normal circumstances and excluding RWOL/Boogaloo.
like the second amendment, body armor was never originally about home defense. but it does make a decent excuse to keep it around.
@Jacob Dawson Again, only practical if you're taking a defensive position. Most of the time someone is going to spend in their home, when you're not sleeping, is somewhere else in the house but the bed room. You very likely not going to fight your way back to a plate carrier. Fight should be over by then. Not to mention that plate carrier is going to be much harder to put on when you have a massive adrenaline dump and someone actively fighting you. Not to mention that you have to get to it. This is why it's best to keep a gun on you or within close vicinity of you.
Currently saving up for those 4800's, really gonna be worth it
BIG DADDY UNLIMITED,
I’m confused. I’m not seeing any plate carriers on your website besides those NCstar air soft do you not sell good companies? Confused on why you’re doing a video on carriers and plates
Did you actually watch the video?
All that cost and weight really pays off when bubba on the other side of the hill jerks the trigger and hits you square in the face.
🤣😂🤣😂
I plan on just taking it off that guy you mentioned with the face shot.
#becauseicantaffordtobetacticool
And thats why we wear the fully faced ballistic face mask!
That's 1/100 though.

@@DuoTheGodOfDeath just imagine, the mask stops the round but yet the force of the round breaks your neck....
7:57 where can I buy that exact set up?
i believe its a velocity systems covert LE carrier
Check out Hoplite Armor if you're a civilian. Top notch.
top notch all around except for the lead times. Not sure if things have calmed down but few weeks back you were looking at 2-4 month wait times.
@@bonk2910 yes it’s gotten far better I received my plates in 4 1/2 weeks
@@bigbird799 that's good to hear
so i was looking at some level III steal plates by rts and its there active shooter kit do you think it would be a great idea for home invasion because i want some protection if that action was to happen and also thinking would be great to use also in workouts and training for any situation
I’m not sure of the specific plates you are looking at, but we typically do not recommend steel plates. The spalding and shrapnel can be deadly if they are shot.
@@BigDaddyUnlimited would it be help full if i bought the spalding protection
@@BigDaddyUnlimited and i am on quite the budget but dont wanna cheap out but cannot afford polyethalene
Why do I need it? Cause I can!!
If you're considering body armor, some things are assumed. You are convinced that you may one day have to fight for your life or those you love. Do your homework, and don't let price be the biggest consideration, the most expensive isn't necessarily the best, but don't cheat on quality. Lives depend on it. I believe that rifle level protection is minimal, I can't assume that my adversary will never have a rifle.
As Bill says, don't overload your carrier. Train with it. You will find that what you thought works in fact doesn't. You're going to make some changes, and you will buy some things that eventually get set aside. That's why we have yard sales. The time to start is now.
President wow big baddy armor unlimited is awesome beautiful fantastic beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

save up for ceramics
Steel is trash and would end up killing you in the end.
Don't. Save those pennies. Hesco L210s aren't that much more expensive.
@@APage-hn6cz ceramic has a lot of draw backs like shelf life and if your drop it or land on it hard it cracks and it’s not multi hit rated and in civil war you won’t have a supply of armor and the cost. Their is this amazing thing that’s been out for years called a fragmentation coating on steel plates that catch the fragments 😂
@@Thunderbolt22A10 ceramics have a lot of draw backs the only draw back on steel is weight fragments are not a issue with the build up coat on it
Anyone use Cati armor?
I had a set of Cati as my first set. They're heavy, I never needed them to stop a bullet so can't speak to that, but they work in tests, and steel theoretically could spall more than ceramic. I now use them as workout plates and use hesco plates as protection. Better than nothing as long as you get the build up coating, but do weigh you down, possibly slow you down. Just my experience with them.

none of them. waste of money for kids . Spend the money on ammo and teach them to shoot. Take them to the movies. Spend time with them teaching them outdoor skills. The chance of an active shooter at school is way over blown. it's like less than getting killed in a plane crash for someone who flies once every 10 years. More kids are run over going to school every year then shot at school. But they never report that.
If a government school, what they teach is of greater CONSEQUENCES than possible live fire.
