Spot on points there the whole way through the video. When he brought out the spare boots, I was like, WTF?! That's the sort of item held back with your grip at a base location, not in an assault pack. I'm glad you mentioned water, waterproofs and a poncho, they were my main points. Also the map , pens and notebook need to be in your pockets, not in your pack. You can't keep taking your pack off every five minutes when you need to navigate or make notes (for recce, fire missions, SITREPs etc). And if you are in a recce unit you definitely don't mark your map.
@@PreparedPathfinder pens,pencils and maps belong in leg pockets,not in pack. If doing reconnaissance, marking maps is a great way to get your CO ticked off at you,if you get captured or lose the map and opfor finds it.😂
Absolutely want to see more reviews. Part of learning what to keep IN the bag is knowing what to keep OUT of the bag (and rationale, since I was never a grunt)...... Just a shout-out to Grunt Proof -- THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM
As a former Cav Scout, I feel he was absolutely missing a ton of gear in that 72 hour bag. I seriously hope this is not what this generation of soldiers is being taught they need in the field
Looked like a cadret example for new privates. I noticed a difference in assault pack, and medium ruch packing lists per armored or infantry battalion. Mounted reconnaissance in armored battalion we barely carried anything. 101ST was way different. Especially considering the schools setting and if your packing list is incorrect you're out.
The red lens...I will NEVER forget in Basic Training in 1984, instructor asks why we use red lens. One guy pops up and says So the enemy can't see you! Instructor asks him if ever looked up in the sky at night, ever see a jet flying overheard, 7 miles up, ever see the red blinking light on it...FROM 7 MILES AWAY? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where’s the 550 cord, duct tape, wet weather gear, poncho, canteens, extra mags and ammo, NOD’s, bayonet, smoke grenades, frags, claymore’s and accessories.
I'm surprised he doesn't have a 'ranger roll' on his pack, that's a must have. Some of the items like the compass, E-tool had its own pouch. As for binos, not everyone would be carrying a set. Radios got smaller. As a comm guy, I was carrying a full SINCGARS manpack so I had very limited room in my pack due to an extra battery, I wouldn't have room for most of the stuff he was carrying. I had friends with the 10th Mountain that would say this is insane. I noticed that he was wearing what looked like a Camelbak/water bladder on his back, 5:51.
WOW 1. Most everything was still store wrappers 2. Where his Water kit 3. Where is his PEQ15 on his M4, he's an SSGT 3. No smoke grenades 4. Signal kit? where is his PTT and head set 5. Compass not dummy corded 6. MRE's, not cut down 7. IFAK? I could go on, scratching my head
I have never been in service but found this video very educational. Please more of this kind of video. I learn from the comments on why something is wrong (or right). ❤
No gloves, no poncho, no water, no ammo, no sewing kit, no fire starters, no IFAK, no sleep system, no boo boo kit, no tourniquets, no extra batteries, no glow sticks, just alot missing here.
(edit) Good vid. The talis used nothing but an ak, little food and water (edit out) I several times used one pair of wool socks + an inner woolen liner pr 2 weeks in northern Scandinavia late autumn. Had an extra couple in case of wet feet or when sleeping. No stink when it's wool and skin liner in boots. One set of 85-100% wool under wear - no stink. When wet they still warm. Water (always close around), food, dry sleep. The rest is luxury
As a scout I am totally shocked. There is no way I am going to war with this guy. How did he get promoted to staff? I wouldn't take that bag camping. No extra boots, uniform or tshirts. Snivel gear ok. What about rain gear. What about weapons cleaning, water, more food. I do understand the pens, but put that shit in a bag. 72 hrs at least 3 broken down mre's. I would probably have had 6. And his shoulder says he is a screaming eagle? If the whole army is like him we will all die if the attack comes on our home turf. Oh, and buy the way, we didn't walk over distance we were cav we drove. So Sad
The scouts I was a medic for could not pack much less make a packing list. Got chewed out by a few NCO’s for taking only an assault pack with what I needed for a 7 day FTX and got chewed out for not having an extra pair of boots and an extra uniform. I was SPC at the time and had worked with Infantry and FA so they were in the hazing phase that first field. They left me alone on the second one but none of them could pack appropriately for any field problem we did my 4 years with them.
His water was on his back (you can see it at 1m21s). I'd guess 3L - which probably isnt enough for 72hrs, mind you, you would think it got a mention, it is pretty important.
I wore one uniform in a 16 day field OP just take a w••••• bath with baby wipes bring shampoo to wash your hair a little travel bottle and change your socks everyday and your underwear every 2 days and your t shirt every 3 you don’t need to pack a lot ounces definitely equal pounds
You boots and all this gear When I was a Marine grunt back in the late 70s early 80s. We went to the field with less crap. Alice pack with C-rats or MREs out of package Shelter half poncho and poncho liner smokes and socks Although I did have officers. That would make us take everything. Also something I don't understand is why a phone When the world goes sideways. The towers will be down
I was in a Cav Scout platoon in the 80S and early 90s. we were attached to a mechanized Infantry Battalion. We carried the minimum that was required for our mission at hand but also what was needed to survive. Shelter, water, food, fire and minimalist tools like ducktape, wire cutters, small saw, 550 cord, various knives and a means of comunication and minimal medical. Our job was to be the eyes and ears of the Battalion Commander. 20 some years later I deployed with a NG Infantry Battalion as a Sr Medic doing convoy security in Iraq. Never worked in an aid station. That was left for the Corpman. All my prior Scout training was a big asset. I was qualified on more weapons than my 11B counterparts. Incuding the Law and the Tow. My point is not all Scouts have the same experience. Same goes for the Infantry. The young SSG appeared to be giving a class or demonstration on what he may be carrying. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
@davidhottenstine6497 Our company commander did 3 tours in Vietnam. 2 of them enlisted. He told us just bring what you need. That way you could carry more ammo He was quite a leader. And wasn't above carrying the M60 or a mortar tube. If he felt the Marine needed a break Most of the staff NCOs I served with were VN vets taught me a lot about what you actually need for a short term op or long term
COVERT THREADS: Wool Beast OTC socks are absolutely outstanding! All US sourced material, made and Vet owned by a gwot guy. Worn them for years and have yet to tear a hole in em, however I do hand wash them with very light amount of PH balanced soak so the natural fibers last for years. Yes the same shit your wife washes her shit with 😂 it works.
@user-qx5nk6qg2b they're great socks as well I wore em many years ago. Nowadays I prefer the Covert Threads wool beast line, absolutely awesome. The extra thickness up the back of the heel n ankle area in the perfect place is very well thought out for boots. Well worth a consideration. Never had a sick regulate heat n sweat so well. And they take forever to get any smell to em, I just rotate them out, wear a pair then lay it out inside out n wear the next pair n can go a month with just a few pairs before ya need to actually hand wash em. Doesn't matter winter or summer heat I just don't sweat enough to notice and I do tend to put on several miles a day just in normal activity before goin out after work n putting in the exercise miles on the trails. They have plenty of sales throughout the year as well so wouldn't hurt to check em out .. fuck full price 😂
have always used the wigwam cokdweather sock. have got pairs that are over 20 years old and still rocking strong wear them still all year even wore them thru the desert
@@harrisdail9939 awesome I'll give em a try as well, haven't heard of them before appreciate ya sharing the brand. I'm 5 yrs on the Covert Threads and do have some Fox Rivers that are 15+ yrs old but I've also tore a few of those but they're still a solid brand.
Thanks for the laugh it took me back to the old packing lists made by someone that never went in the field. At least the sengars were lighter than the prick 77
1:08 WTF is that? His brainbox is protected against shrapnel and small caliber bullets at 150⁰ and up. I didn't even know they made helmets in Asian sizes.
Maybe I'm just too old of a scout. Only things in my pack: Water, Poncho (liner is weather dependent), Poggy bait, Ammo, Batteries and "extra" 1st aid. Anything that is mission essential (map, Pen & Paper, binos, compass / GPS is in my LBE / Flick.
My favorite pack was the Medium Alice. Wait that was the only pack I was given when I was in so that is probably why it is my favorite pack while I was in.
He could ditch the extra uniform, and boots. A sawyer squeeze filters out bacteria and protozoa or some water purification tabs. A shemage, a milbank bank as a pre filter, bic lighter, small handheld flash w/ red lens, wet wipes, multi tool, thread for field repairs, shoe goo, foot powder, poncho/poncho liner at least. Tent stakes, paracord? A warm weather sleeping bag? Strip the MRE's down, molle the shovel in a pouch on the outside of the pack. He soup sandwiched the way he packed his bag. I learned how to stuff 10 pounds into a 5 pound sack when I was in the Navy. He's wasted a lot of space in his ruck.
I was Navy and I thought this bag was a soup sandwich. When I was a Hospital Corpsman with my Marine unit, 80% of my gear was medical. Everything else was food, thermals, ammo, and water. Not a single pouch held unnecessary gear
Might not be a sexy video idea. But it would be interesting to see what you recommend for field repair specific kit? I've seen you mention this in prior videos but a dedicated video would be awesome... Or a link to a prior one I missed if you did this already 😂.
@GruntProof thank you sir, I'll head there right now. I'm actually watching an old video from 22 Sierra Coffee I found with you while searching for that Diesel n Hate flavored Grunt Proof coffee which I can't see to find online anywhere... Please don't tell me that's notta real thing brother 😂. Love my Blackout coffee pitch black Espresso dark roast which is angry, but it does need a splash more hatefulness 😂
defiantly not an operational loadout. UM how about knife, and medical. two things I didn't hear him or you mention. I also normally had multi tool (Gerber or Leatherman) to aid in repairs and coffee grounds always. Don't underestimate a pinch of coffee grounds in the lip like its Copenhagen.
This dudes kit looks like a packing list made for command dictated packing lists. Maybe this dude is Cadret because the "soldiers" in the video look like OSUT privates. I dont remember scouts wanting to ever be infantry though, I remember infantry getting butthurt that scouts got schools slots infantry wanted.
Hold on there cowboy. This is an Army video filmed by Public affairs. I was a scout for 12 years and this is not remotely what our 72hr bag looks like.
Remember everyone, these are the "best" out of the most expensive military of all time, and they're terrible. Also, if your boots break down in 3 days, where did you buy them, Temu?
Bro. This hurt to watch. I was doing some liason work for MFO yrs ago and looking at their bug out bags was equally as cringe. It looked like the 3 shop vomited out a packing list that the night RTO produced. Being a retired grunt makes watching shit like this take parts of your soul. Lmao
I guess more video production = less reality. When you see a dude make the same video on his own channel after serving for a while it seems more grounded in practicality.
No baby wipes / TP no poncho no water no gloves No weapons cleaning kit/lCLP No 550 for shelter building no multi tool to remove his BFA No Nods No hygiene kit No second copy of map No IR patches wearing full colors flags No light on m4 No laser on m4 Aim point is not tied down Ditch everything you said plus the waffles replace it with a woobie
Pretty sure they were just at a range or something, and he begged, borrowed, and stole to put stuff together on the fly. And ya, missing a lot. I think he maybe even misunderstood what was being asked of him. These are like the NATO's channel videos. In those ones, they do not give mini classes.... 19D are on trucks more often than not, with a billion different things to do and a lot of different possible missions. Typically though... just mounted recon and manning OP/LP's to screen for the main body. AKA, protecting the infantry from wandering into something they can't handle, and can't escape.
Dump 90% of what he displayed & then add: PEQ15, NODs, bayonet, potable water system, sleep system, water-proof poncho, tourniquets, & extra love seeds.
Maybe you can review the recent Outdoor Boys video where he goes into the jungle of Japan with US Marines....They're seriously eating bugs, seemed pretty stupid to me
I was 11B assigned to a reconnaissance platoon in Vizenza many moons ago. This dude is soup sandwich. Who the hell carries extra boots? Unnecessary weight. Weight equals pain. My RTO ruck was HEAVY. Break down those MREs at least. Even our large alice packs would fill up in the winter. Whatever, it's why they are not grunts. 😉
Newb any light will be seen , also saw no water, I always have poncho, fire kit, sleep pad, sleeping warmth. dry bag. As well as zip locks for keeping things dry, as well as stashing trash, leave no evidence behind!
its sad to see how far our military's quality of training has slid down hill. these simple things such as weight management and light discipline should be drilled in by the end of basic.
Wasting space with unnecessary stuff,unnecessary packaging…. Grunt,this seems to be more of a quick field demo video(on their part) than an actual loadout by a scout who has been around for a few years.
Missing chem gear, flares, gloves for aa, electrical tape, zip ties, frags, claymores, so much missing...pens, maps, note pad, not even write in the rain, wtf? In your pockets!
The modern soldier is too heavy in their gear. Also the tactics are cookie cutter. Served in USMC infantry and Army Artillery. I would change everything. The M4 has to be constantly cleaned. Automatic burst is a waste. The US military is too dependent on superior firepower.
This isn't that guys real set up, hes out for a few hours and has some stuff he added to his kit at the last minute from the PX when he went to buy cigarettes and dip and bogie bait. He didn't pack for a field exercise or deployment. He has a combat patch so he has done the real deal before.
Spot on points there the whole way through the video. When he brought out the spare boots, I was like, WTF?! That's the sort of item held back with your grip at a base location, not in an assault pack.

He forgot to take the Marbles out of his mouth...... mumble, mumble.....
He brings a boot but no extra radio battery, is the person smoking weed?
Pretty sure they were just at a range or something, and he begged, borrowed, and stole to put stuff together on the fly. And ya, missing a lot. I think he maybe even misunderstood what was being asked of him. These are like the NATO's channel videos. In those ones, they do not give mini classes....
19D are on trucks more often than not, with a billion different things to do and a lot of different possible missions. Typically though... just mounted recon and manning OP/LP's to screen for the main body. AKA, protecting the infantry from wandering into something they can't handle, and can't escape.
Dump 90% of what he displayed & then add: PEQ15, NODs, bayonet, potable water system, sleep system, water-proof poncho, tourniquets, & extra love seeds.
The bayonet can stay out multi tool is ever you need gun Lubricant
All the formulas 🌈😂
😂😂😂
WOW
Maybe you can review the recent Outdoor Boys video where he goes into the jungle of Japan with US Marines....They're seriously eating bugs, seemed pretty stupid to me
I was 11B assigned to a reconnaissance platoon in Vizenza many moons ago. This dude is soup sandwich. Who the hell carries extra boots? Unnecessary weight. Weight equals pain. My RTO ruck was HEAVY. Break down those MREs at least. Even our large alice packs would fill up in the winter.
Whatever, it's why they are not grunts. 😉
The idiot dose not even have a Weapons cleaning kit
Extra batteries for headlamp but not a spare radio battery 😭 what !!!! As an RTO that’s offensive
Newb any light will be seen , also saw no water, I always have poncho, fire kit, sleep pad, sleeping warmth. dry bag. As well as zip locks for keeping things dry, as well as stashing trash, leave no evidence behind!
its sad to see how far our military's quality of training has slid down hill. these simple things such as weight management and light discipline should be drilled in by the end of basic.
Cav scout AKA raging homosexual
Wasting space with unnecessary stuff,unnecessary packaging…. Grunt,this seems to be more of a quick field demo video(on their part) than an actual loadout by a scout who has been around for a few years.
No LBE or Vest And No IFAK
He has a taps system on
Missing chem gear, flares, gloves for aa, electrical tape, zip ties, frags, claymores, so much missing...pens, maps, note pad, not even write in the rain, wtf? In your pockets!
19D20. Everything i would have carried was O.P. related trash
He would not be able to complete his mission of Reconnaissance.....those items or lack there of not good.
Well, actually...
72 hour sissy bag.. wtf
They don't teach them a thing.
The modern soldier is too heavy in their gear. Also the tactics are cookie cutter. Served in USMC infantry and Army Artillery. I would change everything. The M4 has to be constantly cleaned. Automatic burst is a waste. The US military is too dependent on superior firepower.
As a 12yrd U.S.M.C grunt this guy sounds like a tool.
Embarrassingly trained.😳
This is some Recriting Command BS.
Dude has 35 lbs of bullshit bag, his entire bag is horrible, needs remedial training... No go on this station.
I’ve seen this video before it’s such a bs video.
This isn't that guys real set up, hes out for a few hours and has some stuff he added to his kit at the last minute from the PX when he went to buy cigarettes and dip and bogie bait. He didn't pack for a field exercise or deployment. He has a combat patch so he has done the real deal before.
