"Anyone who's ever been in a firefight knows you can't get close enough to the ground". How painfully obvious yet, I didn't even consider that. What a terrifying thought to find that out the hard way.
During a bounding live fire exercise during my combat training. I learned this quick. Bounding buddy tripped, N.D. and the round hit right next to my head. I never ran mags on my front like everyone else in my shop. Got deployed, went prone for cover if I had mags on my front chest plate I'd be dead now.
@@Jin_Kai Agree. I learned an additional lesson when in the prone position: It's damn uncomfortable (and a bit too sketchy) to be prone and have to reload when you're laying on top of your mags.
@@tommills9631 Also, why do people carry 50 trillion mags? I’m building my pc carrier and thinking “well of course mandatory 3 mag holder placard, right? HOL up” in a real firefite, you really need more than the ones in your pants/belt? You really gonna need or survive through an exchange of 100+? Just seems highly unrealistic, or people who forego side plates but carry 300 rounds, rookies.
You can tell this seal has been through some stuff. He's got that serious look about him. God bless all that serve and are serving!! This civilian respects the hell out of you!!
Yeah no doubt. It's not hard to find plenty of "experts" on youtube who take themselves very seriously but have zero field experience whatsoever. I would take any advice this guy was generous enough to bestow. Obviously knows what he's talking about.
Well to be fair this is a custom plate carrier. Most units use bulky terrible issues ones that do not allow easy plate access once on. Like the army ones these days. You have to open the entire vest to release the pouch. Pain in the ass. Special units have the blessing of using whatever as long as they meet requirements.
@@FanaticDrummer these LBT plate carriers aren't custom, just mission specific, i.e. theyre designed for certain units. You can still buy them from LBT but they'll cost you a lot. And this deisgn is pretty outdated, these were worn by the SEALs back in 2011. A more modern Crye JPC or Velocity plate carrier can be had for cheaper and is more lower profile while still providing tons of real estate
@@deejay1534 There's lots of good quality plate carriers out there nowadays. Crye, Condor, or even AR500 (say what you will about their plates, but the Testudo and Testudo Lite carriers are great). It just depends on your specific mission requirement. Honestly, take your pick.
Excuse me Sir, during your career were you ever shot or injured needing medical attention in the field? Have you ever aided some with your medic af skills or used your medical kit in battle?
@@WardenWolf condor is bottom tier, they are in no way the same level as crye, velocity systems or even ferro concepts. You can do a lot better for not much more money
They aren’t robots. People build them up to these insane standards and they freak out when they crack a joke or have some sort of personality. Think about it dude
Wow, I just learned a hell of a lot from this one little video. It goes to show what you can learn from listening and studying your gear. Thanks for this.
I love the fact that keeping the drop pouch closed is important because otherwise your buddies might be putting rocks in there, and not that you might get stuck on stuff or rocks fall in without the help of your buddies haha
Such an awesome video. I always appreciate it when a SFO gives advice on gear and training. It's so easy for these guys to look down on the rest of us, but most of us just wanna be able to protect our homes and families in case of a crisis, and have a fighting chance.
Douchebag internet trolls obviously. I'm sure they set their kit up according to their mission on the Xbox while they're jerking off giving them self a first person shooter
His “Why” is not going to help you. His rig fits him and his reach memory; that’s why. He is use to where everything is located; muscle memory. “Why” maybe someplace else for you. Maybe it’s easier for you to have a tourniquet further back and drop pouch closer. You figure out “Why” for yourself, by testing and training. Zero combat experience here, so when SHTF, my set up might prove stupid, but I train with it, so I can reach everything in pitch black. I’m definitely going to add/remove stuff per his suggestions and then train with the new set-up; I need that med kit, so I can ditch my bulky one. One thing we don’t have, is his radio set-up. We definitely won’t be calling in close air support.
The genius is in the simplicity, form factor and weight. I’m already rethinking my gear. That’s how you know this was a good video rather than just show and tell. Thanks brother.
Just wanted to say thank you for the career you chose. And I think I speak for all of us civilians when I say, we feel very safe knowing there are men and women like you protecting our country. Thanks again bro.
I have body armor for a shtf situation. I’ve never thought about having to much on the front. Even though I didn’t. It’s heavy enough as is. Lol. God help me. Great video! The men and women of our Military are the best.
I've seen some of these pathfinders and other guys packing what looks like the entire armory on their PC and there's no way they can go prone or on their side. Different mission different needs I guess. Who am I to judge? besides that was a while back and maybe more of these dudes have figured some things out the hard way.
Same here with the current situation that going on I had to get a pc together and first thing I did was buy the hsg double stack mag holster although I have 8 mags now if I ever needed to prone then I’m fucked hah.
Jason's and Karl's plate carrier setup videos on this channel are some of the best on youtube. Between the two and compared to what the viewer has. Though they may appear to be night and day. The basics are all the same, personal preference to meet the needs. Very nice, Thank you
great idea with the homebrew carbine retainer. The Canadian CANSOFCOM and Pathfinders do the same thing because it's a quick-release even with thick gloves on. Good innovation for cold climates.
This is the best content you can ask for. Insider information on SEAL gear philosphies and tips and tricks. Amazing TR can get Jason to come in and share his years of knowledge in the teams with the public. Hopefully not sharing too much but sharing practical tips and tricks. So awesome loving it!
"Ya'll know what happens when a carabiner goes in salt water" No, I don't. I'm not a SEAL or a SCUBA diver, so, nope. Thanks for the info I learned something.
To weigh in as an engineer, yes don't use salt exposed carabineers for heavy weight operations because the carabineer has now been exposed to corrosion and is no longer rated properly. Not following that rule means you don't respect basic safety
Salt water accelerates the natural corrosive nature of aluminum. So, if they expose the carabiners to salt water they will break under the heavy weight of the SEAL and his equipment, should they need to connect to a helicopter for a water rescue. The SEAL would connect himself to the sling, from the aircraft, to that carabiner. If the carabiner is corroded. It will break. Another SEAL doesn't go home that night.
@@0yaITSme How much salt water climbing have you done? I KNOW there are mountains under the ocean's surface but, climbing them might be more difficult than one would expect!
I am a retired USAF SPECOPs IDMT ..... would have loved to have a 30 min lecture on kit set up like this. I'm still here for my kids but the next gen warrior is out there keep it up gentlemen keep it the fuck up.... we are one gen away from oblivion!
That may have been one of the best reviews/run downs I have seen on here. Thank you for taking the time to record this for the rest of us to watch and learn.
Thanks for the input, always good to get an operator's perspective. I agree with you on the 3 mag pouch in front, can't get low enough when things get interesting.
I appreciate tactical riflemen for there great videos obviously they are highly skilled and trained just wanting to spead the combat knowledge to those who want respect to this guys for this hands on info
bro I love the radio setup. Being a 2841 I can appreciate that a lot. when you said you needed two radios, one for the air and one for ground I was thinking to myself, thats the whole reason they came up with SINCAGRs but its a big ass radio, course I've been out for almost 20 and would have hoped they came up with a smaller ver for use in your situation. Semper Fi!
jedimann74 we use ASIP now which is about 1/3 the profile of the earlier SINCGARS I started off with..... I am retired now, but I imagine that they will go to a rugged tablet eventually.
I run an LBT 6094A and I love it! It fits perfectly. I similarly only run 3 mags up front in the kangaroo pouch. The more and more I run it the more I look add or remove stuff. Love all the vids keep them coming!!!
MrAwsomeshot No swearing Jesus Christ is recommended John 3:16-21 Jesus Christ is Lord God Loves You The Kingdom of God is at Hand Leviticus 20:13 Ephesians 4:29 1 Corinthians 6:9
He touches on the one thing I harp to everyone that wants to 'really train'. If you really want to train, you need to be running without kit and then rucking with kit. Not running around for a bit in the woods, playing soldier. I mean rucking 10 - 20km with your loadout, plus a rucksack (minimum 30lbs) over rough terrain. On days you don't ruck, you need to run. Fitness is probably the most important thing to being a warrior. If you can't get to the battlefield, then it doesn't matter how good of a shot you are. My training regimen is running on Mon-Wed-Fri and then rucking on Tues-Thurs. I do take a whole weekend to recover because I'm getting older and my body doesn't recover as fast as it did. Also, don't ruck or run on roads if you can avoid it, your knees/ankles will thank you.
Love Jason’s stuff. Dude is super down to earth and doesn’t act like he’s better than anyone. Great educator. I’ve been a coach for over 20 years at the college and Hs level and got into tactical training, shooting etc a few ago when I stopped coaching and missed being around my “comrades” every day. He’s got the same kind of demeanor as the athletes I played with and coached. Love dudes like him 👍🏻
Clever setup. It's clear that a lot of trial and error in the field went into this. Rifle retention cord. Brilliant. Any particular reason to go with the seatbelt cutter over tuff cuts?
Hey guys great job on your vids.Very educational and makes me think about what i carry and how to carry it better.

Hey I just picked up a set up. The rifle retention holder and also sticking mags in that front patch....thank you. I want to save some room for first aid kit, tourniquet, misc stuff. The mags in the pouch, free up much needed space. Thanks, and thank you for serving.
Thank You for the freedom you and your comrades have given my family and myself, and for the tour of your gear. Y’all have a great night.... BIG RON.....
Awesome stuff, I just came across your channel today...I was an OS in the early 90's, went on WESTPAC with Seal Team 5 , great group of guys that I had the honor of working with...Thanks for the videos...
Wow, I have always wondered what exactly you do with your M4 and or other firearm when climbing etc. Weapon retention, thats an interesting little plate carrier Molly attachment!
Same here. That would be nifty for storing a rifle on the side of a backpack. Edit: just found it, or something like it. Vel Tye Magnetic Weapon Retention System
Me: likes video because I think it’s informative and I’m interested in joking the military. Also me: notices the dislikes. “Who the phvck is that guy” in my best Conor McGregor voice*
fjamato it's basically a kit molded to fit the circumference of a plate carrier, you can diy your own and use a vacuum sealed bag and thin peice of cardboard. I'm not sf dude I'm just a dumbass civilian medical assistant and phlebotomist. Why not rock your diy shit it's the same shit, it's obvious we are not gonna have the high-speed shit medics use. Any rural physician will tell you improvise old school techniques if u don't have the latest and greatest
You can buy it from Phokus Research Group. www.phokusresearch.com/ Not a huge fan of it personally as noone will know where your ifak is. Your IFAK should be clearly labeled and in plain view. Unless its an SOP in your team/unit, and everyone knows exactly where it is, I wouldnt recommend it.
4:59 "I like to keep it wrapped up, because if I don't the guys are going to put rocks and stuff in here to mess with me." Jason has had "rocks and stuff [goat turds]" in his drop pouch before. 💩😁
Nah pretty good Idea though. We use to make them out of old packs but this one being able to zip up is cool! I'd say with limited knowledge about how to sew you could make your own easy
Haha we always made our own custom stuff and would raid the U/S store for any good bits we could rip off or reuse. 6 pack of beer was the key and you would never see a more happy man diving into shitty rags, ripped packs and pouches ect ect
Setting my P.C. right now, been watching several vids on set-ups. Best teachers I know is the man who has experience in the shit.... t.y. Sir, this helps give me perspective on how to slim line my carrier.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ That's an excellent suggestion. People seem to spend 2K on a weapon without batting an eye, but when comes time to shell out for a transceiver they want yo spend less on it than the average meal dining out.

God doesn't exist you muppets.
"Nothing fancy, just something to distinguish me from whoever needs to get shot" the way you said this so matter of factly cracked me up.
That's what happens when your job is being a real shooter.
When bullets start flying it become VERY important to know who is supposed to be eliminated and who is not.
Love the dry humor, Jason. Team leaders are always "suggesting" you carry extra gear LOL. Please do more videos.

Probably one of the best plate carrier walkthrough I've watched. Quick, concise and well made.
Cheers brother.
5:00 LMAO. These guys are going on incredibly serious missions and they're still playing pranks on each other.
Those drop pouches are also AMAZING at turning your guy in front of you into a mobile trash can for your candy wrappers too! Real shit! 😂
They aren’t robots. People build them up to these insane standards and they freak out when they crack a joke or have some sort of personality. Think about it dude
Higher stress makes comic relief more vital, I imagine.
Everyone forgets these guys were originally grunts ahaha, once a grunt, always a grunt
When actually in combat they are serious but when moving around or when there is no enemy nearby they are just human.

Who the F down votes an actual operator talking about his battle rig? Someone who know more about the subject I suppose... SMH.
You know those air soft guys have been in some real combat....
My thought exactly. I don't care how much I learn, I'm gonna take somebody like this' word over most.
Douchebag internet trolls obviously. I'm sure they set their kit up according to their mission on the Xbox while they're jerking off giving them self a first person shooter
Either rival species of operators who do things differently or something or fellow operators who think he's giving away vital secrets to the enemy

That weapon retention system was new to me, I love that diy version.
Every Instagram Operator be like “def gotta apply this to all my range drills!” 😂😂
Solid work. If possible it would be great to see a breakdown of setting up your antenna cable
SEAL team killin machine...respect.
em Burgess Most military guys don't advertise that they're a 'killing machine'. It's tacky as all hell
I think the ones that advertise are not in the services..
yeah i agree..I think that most, If not all military personals dont brag about being in the service becuase of what they have seen..
love your videos! So much great little infos!
Good stuff. DOL
Thanks
Just a thank you for what you do for our country!!
Thank You for the freedom you and your comrades have given my family and myself, and for the tour of your gear. Y’all have a great night....
BIG RON.....
Thanks
Likewise bro
ron36105 ron...thank you for the class you have shown in this post. Also my thanks to the presenter as well. God bless you all
Awesome stuff, I just came across your channel today...I was an OS in the early 90's, went on WESTPAC with Seal Team 5 , great group of guys that I had the honor of working with...Thanks for the videos...
Wow, I have always wondered what exactly you do with your M4 and or other firearm when climbing etc. Weapon retention, thats an interesting little plate carrier Molly attachment!
Would love to know the name/brand of that retention...
Same here. That would be nifty for storing a rifle on the side of a backpack.
Edit: just found it, or something like it. Vel Tye Magnetic Weapon Retention System
Dude I learned more in this video than I did in 27 yrs in boots. Simple, awesome, thanks.
Me: likes video because I think it’s informative and I’m interested in joking the military. Also me: notices the dislikes. “Who the phvck is that guy” in my best Conor McGregor voice*
Thanks for all you and your team has done. Takes special men to do what you do. God bless. Happy 2019!!
Thanks for watching, TR
"The only body armour needed by a seal is his own skin... Sir!"
This is way more simplistic than I’ve seen people set up their carriers very cool
Nice kit! Simple is best ! Thank you and your brothers for the service you provide! God Bless!
Is that medical pack available on the civilian market? I'd like to know more about it.
fjamato it's basically a kit molded to fit the circumference of a plate carrier, you can diy your own and use a vacuum sealed bag and thin peice of cardboard. I'm not sf dude I'm just a dumbass civilian medical assistant and phlebotomist. Why not rock your diy shit it's the same shit, it's obvious we are not gonna have the high-speed shit medics use. Any rural physician will tell you improvise old school techniques if u don't have the latest and greatest
I'd like to know this as well ...
Look up Phokus
SONS Deployment Trauma Kit II (DTK II) by PHOKUS
You can buy it from Phokus Research Group. www.phokusresearch.com/ Not a huge fan of it personally as noone will know where your ifak is. Your IFAK should be clearly labeled and in plain view. Unless its an SOP in your team/unit, and everyone knows exactly where it is, I wouldnt recommend it.
Glad we didn't have pogue drill sgnts in basic. They taught us a lot of this stuff. Godspeed brothers.
4:59 "I like to keep it wrapped up, because if I don't the guys are going to put rocks and stuff in here to mess with me."
Jason has had "rocks and stuff [goat turds]" in his drop pouch before.
💩😁
this rig is exactly what Im looking for. Ranger green looks sick with this rig. thanks.
Anyone know the details on the dump pouch? I've not seen one like that before.
Dropping empty mags
Nah pretty good Idea though. We use to make them out of old packs but this one being able to zip up is cool! I'd say with limited knowledge about how to sew you could make your own easy
Yes, I know what it's for. I was after the manufacturer. Closest I've found is the Pantac Stealth dump pouch.
I'd probably sew my hands together ha
Haha we always made our own custom stuff and would raid the U/S store for any good bits we could rip off or reuse. 6 pack of beer was the key and you would never see a more happy man diving into shitty rags, ripped packs and pouches ect ect
Setting my P.C. right now, been watching several vids on set-ups. Best teachers I know is the man who has experience in the shit.... t.y. Sir, this helps give me perspective on how to slim line my carrier.
We have several more videos on kit setup, from other members of the TR team, that you can find in the video archive. Thanks for watching, TR
I used to nail my brothers tool bag to the floor or wipe sap on his hammer handle... It was funny to me😁
Hooyah. Stay safe out there, and thank you for your service. Your arms room is kick-ass!!. Over and out.
“I keep that thang on me”
Excellent informative video. Thanks for your tips and your service brother.

You can see IR chemlights through pockets and clothes with nvg on? Interesting
This guy is the man super informative video
What kind of radios do you recommend for the civilian ...and what brand of plates is best for the civilian..
Radios are a whole rabbit hole unto themselves. A good and cheap place to start would be a Baofeng UV-5R.
as for plates you have to consider your personal needs
And weather or not you have an air cooled checkbook. ;)
Harris is better but if you are a civilian you can use Motorola CP200
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ That's an excellent suggestion. People seem to spend 2K on a weapon without batting an eye, but when comes time to shell out for a transceiver they want yo spend less on it than the average meal dining out.
work ethic like no other these guys ! power on !
Dude is sensitive about people messing with his pouch lol
I’ve seen Jason’s pouch. I know why he’s sensitive about it. It’s a sacred place.
We used to always put shit in each other's dump pouches. Rocks, pot leaves, snack wrappers, empty water bottles. Good times.
THANK YOU & God Bless You Jason Phalin for your service and you have my most sincere gratitude.
