How the US forest service adopts basketball American style carry, surprisingly effective. And thank you Cody let people know it’s ok to have a little fun jokes are absolutely ok
I love my FUPA from SOE! I am wheelchair bound and use it across body carry every day. I use the holster from SOE and extra mag slots, it works perfectly and have been using it for about 3 years. Great, sturdy material that will last my lifetime.
I've owned a couple Leathermans over the years and used them extensively for work and everyday, and for some reason, after the pliers,, the most-used tool was the scissors. It's amazed me many times, how useful having a good quality little scissors on your belt or in your pocket can be.
In the olden days unless you were a “gentleman” in a suit you wore what we consider a purse nowadays. It was a cross-shoulder satchel that had gear in it. Fire starter and a candle, string or thin rope, a smaller back up knife (because you had a larger knife on your belt), paper and pencil, shot and wadding or later cartridges, a map and compass, and whatever else you might need in an emergency in case you didn’t have your horse and saddle bags. My ancestors were the Seneca and the Scott’s both carried shoulder bags. This is just a modern version of that.
I recommend the Naray sling bag, it is intentionally made for CCW from the chest, and is at the perfect angle. Can even be pull from the back to the front quickly if you prefer to carry it as a back pack. It has a deliberate pull tab which can be yanked and immediately undo the area where your CCW is velcroed, yet also secures the pouch when not in use so it doesn’t come undone accidentally. The zipper lip also doesn’t hang over your holster as it does in the FUPA, allowing for much better purchase when drawings so you aren’t having to maneuver around the zipper teeth.
You can keep the chest rig straps attached and stuff them under that dangler and leave it velcroed closed to keep that kit together without taking up any space in the pockets.
For the SOE Velcro Holster, feel free to cut it with a hot knife to fit your application. I snug up that holster further forward than you usually would, gripping the light and the front of the slide. This eliminates any Hang-Ups. Still plenty secure.
Have a friend like this.. When we first met I was forced (due to his drunken trying to Alpha behavior) to yoke him up and threaten him with an involuntary flight off the second story breezeway..
I’d say he overwhelmingly is net good with the information he provides people. You don’t have to always likes his style of teaching those skills or information, to recognize he’s still showing people skills and information that are useful in multiple different facets of life.
My fupa has become the most important part of my daily cary. I use a mesh pouch in mine. Really been blown away with the quality of the design and build. Much respect for John
Bought an olight during an Amazon sale over a year ago. Haven't even opened it. I don't have a good holster for it. I have a leather holster I bought hand made when Glocks first came out with the 17. Every time I use the holster, I think of the old man at the saddle shop down in Austin who made it for me. I used to joke that he had a price for the leather, and then you got all the stories for free. He made my rodeo saddle too, and I did pretty good with it. I gifted it back to him when I stopped, he put it on display. He told me he sold a hundred just like it because of the display, 'used by a real rodeo cowboy'. Did I mention he used to stretch the truth out of his stories just a bit😁😁
I've been a fan of SOE for a while. I have an addiction to their M81 gear. With all the new traffic I wonder how much the, already steep, cost will go up.
Ahhh, I see we have the same affliction. If John has made it in M-81, I've bought it and if he hasn't yet I'm always hawk eyeing every email. It's good to know I'm not alone.
It's about time that we got another video like this. Lot's of people like me subbed to your channel for this kind of content. I can't always watch your livestreams, but I love your stuff.
Very intelligent Cat I learned Alot from the Channel Wish my Neighbors were like that Good luck and God bless Oh yeah I've always been Satisfied with my Surefire And all my SOE gear as well
I just got bought mine. I'll have to wait 2-3 months, but it'll be worth it for all the problems it solves. I just can't conceal carry under my belt, it's too uncomfortable for me. I'll be able to carry now.
I just hope for you that it doesn't arrive ruined, because otherwise It's a great piece of kit. Mine arrived tarnished, and customer service is impossible to get a hold of. After finally sending it in for repair, I waited four months to hear nothing. So I sent more emails. When they finally got back to me all they had to say was "I'm not sure what this is about." even though my order number and information is in that email, and the other ten emails I had to send. I feel like a complete fool for falling for all the "made in America, top quality equipment, soe guarantee!" bs that they push. They talk about their quality assurance as if they examine every order before shipping, but apparently not mine. That's all they had to do and this never would've happened, and the repair is literally them just putting a gromet in an already made hole. Four month job apparently. They boast proudly about their customer service. Let me tell you, I am not the first dissatisfied customer they've had you can find similar complaints throughout youtube. But if what they say is true - "We serve a customer base that demands the highest caliber product and service from us, and we are proud to say that we have never had an unsatisfied customer." - then apparently I am. Nothing says we love the American people by charging a working class man a premium price x2 that of other products, it arriving broken, and then ignoring 90% of his emails only to respond saying "Yea, we don't know who you are bro." 10/10 would never buy from them again even though the quality is also 10/10. Not gonna risk it coming broken and having my time and money wasted.
Tip when it comes to difficult zippers: get bar soap and rub it on the teeth of the zipper any side you can and do not use water. Leave the soap residue on the zipper they will slide so much easier; reapply as needed ;)
I ordered the exact same one that you have this week because of your recommendation. It ships in 8-12 weeks...I wish I could get it sooner but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Thanx Wranglerstar!!!
Mr. Willis has amazing gear. SOE is in my neck of the woods and I’ve been using it for years. I use my FUPA for an edc/survival pack on short stints or around town, great fanny pack!
Hi the other day you did a post about jumping in the river and you mentioned a breathing technique that allows you to hold your breath for up to 7 min what was the technique thanks
Just got my SOE FUPA in the mail today and it rocks! I've been playing with it all day and have yet to get bored. Very comfortable as well! I can't wait to set up as a chest rig for my back country 4 wheeling/metal detecting trips. I have a feeling John at SOE is going to be receiving a lot more of my money in the near future 😅 This was a great recommendation though, much appreciated sir!
I need to get one of these. I love my fanny packs. I've used the Helikon Bandicoot and 5.11 Skyweight utility chest pack. Tip on the opposing zipper. Tuck that side in, so you only have one to grab in an emergency or clip it. 🤘🤙✌️❤️🔥
It would be interesting to see this with internal sleeve pockets to accept soft armor inserts. If you open the clamshell fully upon deployment of your CCW you'd have decent coverage with it synched up in either config.
I do the same thing with the shrink tube on all my zippers. I’ve found that the SOE Velcro holster works fantastic on smaller guns with lights that are almost the exact same dimensions as the muzzle end of the pistol (think Sig P365/TLR7, Taurus G2C/Olight PL Mini-2, or Glock 43X/Surefire XSC). The SOE FUPA chest rig system replaced my Hill People Gear Runner’s Kit Bag because there just wasn’t enough Velcro to secure my firearm in the HPG system. SOE is where it’s at! MITMFUSA🇺🇸
BEST WAY TO USE THE XL FUPA W HKVP9 Use a inside the waist holster with snap buckles you then velcro it in with the snap buckle loops through a soe pistol holder...SO MY PISTOL SETS IN KYDEX HOLSTRR W WITH TWO SPARE MAGS , IN A SOE 2 MAG VELCRO CARD HOLDER TRIMMER FIT . MY PISTOL SITS THE SAME AS HIP CARRY.... WHEN I OPEN MY FUPA THE PISTOL HANDLE IS RIGHT THERE
We all should also get silver mylar heat shields it will cover you up on thermal IMAGING devices. There compact cheap and have multiple uses,and camo tarp to go over mylar wat you think Family.

You can lubricate a troublesome zipper by rubbing in solid candle wax (or bar soap). Literally just rub a candle (not burning!) over the zipper teeth. Little trick my mother taught me.
I thought I saw a video of someone doing that, but I couldn’t find the video a second time to confirm. I was hoping wranglerstar would show it on this video. Do you know if the smaller fanny pack does it as well? Looking for a smaller option for my wife…
@@Wick-d_Trucking not sure from personal experience, but they use the same quality zippers so I imagine it would be the same. Get on one of the SOE daily streams and ask John.

The quality is amazing, but the customer service experience is the worst I've ever had to deal with.
@@degen2789 based on their website they definitely need a customer service/tech guy working for the company to help people and update their site

Can't decide if I like or dislike you. I watch you regardless, and I know its exactly how you want it. Keep on trucking.

Hey Cody, what's your opinion on O Lights. I've had mine since I was in the Army. Held up great, never failed me and I still use it today.

I carry a fanny pack that's very similar to that fupa, but I definitely need that short antenna.

Modlites are the best handheld lights at the moment, best pistol light would be the surefire x300ultra.

You can lubricate a troublesome zipper by rubbing in solid candle wax (or bar soap).

On body or off body so long as you have it when you need it that's all that matters.
