It's funny how some people say airsoft gear is crap; plenty of my people took that crap to war 5 years ago, and it still holds together more than the issues crap we got.
I found the seasoned "idgaf" energy quite hilarious! XD People will argue tooth and nail on here about the most optimal, most gucci setup not realizing most of us civilians are lacking in the most important area... experience and training.
Great Video! Really like how he emphasize the gear for older civilians, vets, warriors, etc. Back and knees are not like they used to be. Thanks for sharing
With your radio mic I drilled couple holes in the clip and zip tied it to my carrier my kept falling off the Molle when I would move quickly thanks for sharing sir
Thank you! I enjoyed the video and liked your approach. But make sure that the grey fixing strap on the TQ is not closed over. It is blocking the rod and requires extra stressful seconds for release :)
Thank you for your service, and appreciate the walk through as a civilian lookin to protect himself if shtf. "If you get in the dome you get shot in the dome " 😅🤣☠️
I cheaped out on some pouches and learned quickly that was a mistake when I saw how the chinesium pouches flouresced under IR light. I may as well have been wearing glow in the dark kit.
I tried a set of Emerson Gear Blue Label clothes. I run real Crye elbow pads and knee pads in them. They have been fantastic, so I took the real Crye stuff off of my list to step up to.
I recently got a cheap plate carrier that fits me very well, but only downside is that there is no molle on the rear plate carrier, so what I need to find is a decent multicam/ocp backpack that can strap around the rear plate carrier (without being too loose) and look decent.
You can salvage one inch webbing from all sorts of stuff and paint/bleach/dye it to match pretty easy. Then get to sewing! Takes some time, but that's the tradeoff for us brokies ;) best of luck g
Great set-up I have and carry very similar equipment. Only difference is I have a back pack attached to the plate carrier, I’d rather carry a i day small assault pack that I can take off and swing around and get to without having to remove the plate carrier.
@@riseagain0130 I can’t download pic here in the comment section. But I just have a 5.11 rush 24 pack loaded as a “ one day assault pack “ I can’t understand people who attach a pack to the plate carrier, you can’t reach it. To get something out yiu have to remove your entire plate carrier, that’s ridiculous.
Interesting. Never seen someone tuck the mags into the Velcro kangaroo pouch on the front of the JPC. Usually you just tuck the Velcro arms front the front placard in there and the it sits on the front/outside of the pouch. But to watch his own. And did you say your plates were 3 inches thick??! I thought I heard that wrong but with you repeated it. I didn’t even know they made ones that thick. Is that just in an effort to be budget? So it’s 6 inches of extra thickness on your torso? My usual preference is to stick below 1 inch thick and less than 5 lbs. shot stop makes some favorites of mine, the duritium gt2 that stops green tip and is only 0.6 inch thick.
@@scottcampbell2585 yes eBay and I'm sure Amazon have them they are a tactical whip antenna that folds it's a flat military style antenna you get a lot better reception
@@w.va.patriot9118 I was looking at the cattail . Waiting on some kit before I go crazy running cables for comms. Alinco handheld comms gear PTT into ear pro.
I do have a carrier with rifle plates but that thing is super heavy. I actual prefer to just run pistol plates and take my chances. There is no way I am doing anything for a long time with the rifle plates. If I was just digging in, I would go for the heavies but if I need to be mobile, pistol plate carrier. It weighs a 1/4 of what my rifle carrier weighs.
Never been to combat but how do you access the backpack without taking the carrier off. I get that you’re probably not looking downrange if you’re digging in your backpack but it doesn’t seem like a good idea to ever take your carrier off. The other stuff is great though.
It's all user preference. Some sas guys have nothing on their front all the sides and back so they can get lower and not look like a turtle. I have a pack because you'll hopefully not be alone and most the stuff in my pack other then bladder is for buddy support and drone. Also playin around with multiple sets of straps and buckles is just nah..
Try velcroing the fupa pouch into the velcro flap that secures the bottom of the plate instead of behind your mags. It will flop around less and wont come off with your cumberbund.
Do yourself and loved ones a favor and get some level 3 plates when you can. If the plates you have are only 3a they're only good for pistol rounds. If you're packing a rifle you should realize others will also be packing rifles. Armor should be chosen for the highest threat expected. If the plates you have are lvl 3 and you just mis spoke than all good. Stay safe
I think you may have overestimated those dimensions. According to the AR500 website their P2 polyethylene plate is only 1 inch thick and weighs a little over 3 lbs
Some China brands are actually quite useable, like Spanker, Idogear, and Krydex. Whether something is made in the USA or China, or is considered airsoft tier stuff, is only a matter that concerns Americans, but not everyone else on the planet. When you think about it, a lot of recent conflicts in 2010's saw massive fielding of what would've been considered Grade C, airsoft tier gears by either belligerents, and both sides had used, abused, and put more holes than the average suburban commando with $5000 worth of mall ninja gears.
@@crossfox1991 the average person around here isn't going to have nods and I've put all my gear through the ringer overseas across multiple deployments, nothing has failed (yet)
Nothing wrong with getting airsoft quality gear because there is no point to spending thousands of dollars on something that has a low probability of happening but I do still fear and its nice to get kit so I am building my own setup using good named stuff and airsoft/cheap quality stuff
Airsoft gear is notorious for falling apart after hard use. It all "looks good", but go low crawl through the dirt, mud and water......slam into cover......ruck through the thick brush and take it in extreme hot/cold. It WILL fall apart.
It’s better to have it and not need it. Cheap gear then upgrade over time. Just went from steel plates to polyethylene omg!!! How much lighter they are.
I love it! Tacti-cools will spend $1000 on a plate carrier setup and $24 on their goddamn crap Baofengs. You could at least buy a surplus Motorola and have it programmed.
Three inches of polyethylene should easily be level 3 instead of 3A. Either you misremembered or the plate is really shitty and probably NOT made of polyethylene.
A couple of LA Police Level III plates for 109 usd each are more than enough. And that backpack is useless. Unless you remove your whole plate carrier, you won’t be able to have access to its content. You can’t reach it. That’s pretty much useless. Just use a hydration pack. And for that Baofeng radio what you need is a rat tail antenna.
dude i cnt criticize your "airsoft" gear. if it works for you and does what you need it to do then the only people that care are the gun snobs and gucci gear scum bags. if they dfont like it then let them buy you the high dollar kit.

Some airsoft gears are actually very good, Condor is a great example

Tactical hidden pencil weapon, nice.
John wick style
Did he unzip his pants??? I missed that
Great gear setup and review. Gave me some ideas. Thank you.
Definitely one of my favorite videos.
I love this kit vid favorite statement in it "if you get shot in the dome you get shot in the dome that kinda the way it is" fucking hilarious
What color should the Chem lights be?
Thinking about something just to keep mags in so there handy

My unit ran 1 in banger 3 on the chest. Some added another on their hip.
That’s a nice plate carrier and I cheaped out on the same things , the backpack and dangler pouch. Great setup!

Condor makes a good camelbak, patrol pack. Also Emerson gear makes really good combat shirt/ pants.
Don’t kid yourself with that cheap airsoft brand.
@@WisSota_Boy especially for clothing, that stuff is gonna get torn up fast.

Very well done. Semper Fi brother. 🇺🇸

nice video. the radio you have are you using it as a regular walkie talkie or as a ham? i was thinking about getting one
my old lady was looking at my shopping cart... and was like what do you need knee pads for... told her I was getting old lol
Have you ever looked at this kit under night vision and IR light?

Nice set up man
Nice and informative video. Thanks for uploading

What plate carrier and backpack is that
Just changed steel plates to polyethylene omg!!! You can run a few more magazines.
Thanks

Get a tactical folding whip antenna for better reception and reach out farther
Abree folding antenna?

Great video man
Great setup 💪
Great video, but I just wanted to let you know t his is actually the jpc 1.0
Bro 3 inch plates 🤣🤣🤣 jesus christ, i thought RMA's were thiccccc
11x14 RMA plates Fit in AR500! Testduo . Blaze defense tubes retro kit works great.
Fr I'd much rather carry a little extra weight than have my head stick out if I have to go probe and get my brains turned into mush
I think they're 3 inches combined, 1.5 each
@mortalitydoesstuff8965 your plates aren't going to protect your head
My uhmwpe lvl iii plates are about three quarters of an inch each. An inch and a half or three inches??? That's crazy.
Great breakdown. Thanks.

A good compromise are lighter level 3 plates from LA Police.
3 rivers , are you based out of ft white area in Florida
No NY

I see those knee pads and questions your decision making lol. Kidding solid video.

Nice video!!!!
3in plates? Please tell us you got better plates. Be safe out there.
I didn't see a link for your smoke grenade/radio holder?
Prep those TQ before going out
I have that same flat pack.👍

Level 4 plates are definitely the way to go mine are only 5.5 pounds so a lot lighter then steel level 3 plates

He was using dude inches, not standard.
Don’t forget to prepare your body ppl spending money won’t fix all your problems
I was just thinking about that today . Loosing some weight to make it easier on my legs when carrying all this shit .
? Is there a difference where u set ur 🔪 right or left

Plates: HDPE High Density Polyethylene.

About how heavy is this kit? 50lbs? And around how much $1,500?
Combat kit isn’t supposed to be hyper light weight, he doesn’t have great plates but it probably is about 26 pounds with ammo.
I love it! Tacti-cools will spend $1000 on a plate carrier setup and $24 on their goddamn crap Baofengs.

The chest rig looks brand new out of the box. in airsoft, the fashion show is already half the battle.
I keep all my medical kit in a fannypack and keep it on my waist backwards so the pack is at the rear and it doesnt mess with my kit or belt
