      Casey Brown Layers, layers and layers have a lot of clothing layers. That's the thing I learned in the fdf (Finnish defense forces) so yeah below -40°F winters. If you're shit out of luck dig a hole in the snow and sleep there, eat pine needles and don't expose your skin to the cold if not absolutely necessary. If you fall into the water, don't panic and when you get out change quick. Crosdcountry skies are the best way to move around, not the normal ones get slmething thicker. Also if working with vehicles, keep a blowtorch ready so you can heat up the engine block, don't know how it works with civilian vehicles and all the plastics they nowadays have.

      Casey Brown you won’t wear plate carriers in the extreme cold. Since you’ll need cold weather clothing you’d wear regular chest rigs or MAVs. Overheating is super easy with a PC and warming layers.

    I served from 03-07 and did two tours in Iraq using the interceptor body armor. At that time our command only let us use general issue gear. The most customization we were able to do was the multitools we bought. It really was a treat to get a new Gerber or Leatherman in the mail. Now I have no use for tactical gear but I cant help but watch your videos and drool over all of the more modern and far better equipment. Thanks for satisfying my itch. I will one day have the money to purchase stuff I don't need but unfortunately that time is still yet to come :(

Things like knives, GPS, Socks, titanium cups, MSR stoves. During Desert Storm I had an older brother (civilian but avid backpacker) send me some cool stuff. Not things that I would necessarily Carry on a foot patrol but made life better.

      @124moviesiwatch 7 лет назад

      I would think much of the same philosophy would apply to a bolt action set up; only the specifics would change as needed. Ammo and/or mag pouches would different different. As most bolt gunners "shoot and scoot" you most likely would want to keep it light and low profile. Think first, what does a bolt gunner need, then choose the molle gear to hold that. Bad guys HATE snipers! I'm sure an entire video could be devoted to the sniper load out. Set-ups for precision bolt gun work typically don't require a lot of ammo.

    Thank you, I just got my plate carrier and I wasn't super sure where to adjust it to. I work in the medical field and I would say that your logic is sound, another reason to not stack mags on your front is because it shifts the weight even further forward away from your spine. That increases your chances of suffering a back injury, as well as making you less stable on your feet.

    Great video Garand Thumb, very informative! I like the mantra *Stop Holes, Plug Holes, Make Holes.*
    Very simple way to remember what is important about setting up a PC.
    The clearance issue with pouches on the front is a particularly good point, I have heard stories of guys getting shot in the derriere because they could not get low enough.
    Another suggestion for anyone setting up a PC or any LBV is to just put it on and wear it and see how it feels. Run and jump and crawl in it if you have to. In my experience that is when you will know if a pouch set up is ideal or idiotic.

    So I've watched some of your videos in the last couple days and have been enjoying them, but by far this has been the most straight forward one, which I really appreciated. I setup my rig in a lot of different ways and moved around as much as possible with each configuration and found that less is more at times, but still didn't feel 100% about it in the end, hence I watched this video. I also wanted to incorporate a battle belt so if I had to drop my plate carrier I'd still have some back-up gear, which proved a little challenging when crouched or going prone. In the end I left the majority of the gear on the plate carrier, figuring I'd scavenge as needed until getting to safety. I did notice there wasn't any sort of knife/cutting instrument nor spare pistol mags on your rig and am wondering why that was. Lastly, thank you for your efforts in spreading knowledge and your service.

    Very useful advice! Thanks for mentioning the lateral protection, because that (in my opinion) is an essential area to protect. Is the module option just as effective as a carrier which includes built-in lateral plate pockets?

    • @HangtownTactical
      @HangtownTactical Год назад

      Depends..The add on side plate pouches will work just as well for running hard side plate armor as a carrier with a cummerbund designed with pockets for hard plates. However.. a lot of the carriers that comes with cumberbunds designed for armor also have large pockets that cover the entire cumberbund meant for running soft armor panels. If your just planning on running hard side plates which is most likely what you’d wanna do , the add on side plate pockets will work just as well. However you would get a lot more protection for fragmentation with the soft armor/ side plate combo on the carriers that comes with armor capable cumberbunds .

    Sweet video man, Very well done. You've definitely got a subscribe from me. I've been thinking of building a plate carrier for a little while here but didn't really know what to base things off of, what goes where ect (the one we use in the CAF is a two part system that's kind of garbage, "frag vest" underneath the "tac-vest", most of us hate the system) You've given me a lot of info so thanks for that!

    I need your help. I am a SAW gunner. I struggle a lot with my kit. Every movement we do is a smoker for me. I am currently using the issue IBA and FLC. I have heart and I am trying my hardest to improve my physical readiness, but I'm still gassed after every movement. What plate carrier/set up would you suggest that would help me so I can keep up better with my team/squad? I feel like I am letting my team down and I want to be a combat multiplier, not a hindrance on my team.

    I'd recommend the verseidag tacticum plate carrier, I wear mine with the collar, drop leg, and shoulder protection but you can use literally just the chest protection and just... Yeah it's a great carrier

    Thanks for the video. I never served, but I play airsoft with a bunch of current and former military and law enforcement guys. I have picked up a bunch of tricks but never had the theory behind it. Ya- airsoft so I do double stack mags like you said because well, its a game not a deployment. Keep the videos coming, they are great! Don't let the muggles get you down- trolls suck and you cared enough to put this out, I cared enough to let you know that you are doing a great job!

    found this channel through SOFREP. What are the differences between the Crye Combat Shirt and the Patagonia Combat shirt?

    • @GarandThumb
      @GarandThumb  7 лет назад +14

      Differences in velcro on the sleeves, height of the colar, general fit, color of the shirt material, pocket size. I'll have to do a comparison video to note all of the differences. I like both equally.

    • @jamesSmith-uh4ip

    As a goof I used my battle belt as a cummerbund looped through the straps and buckles of my minimalist plate carrier.
    Very supportive and sturdy but mainly fitted very well to the circumference of the vest straps and my torso, now I have a lot of molle room leading to me adding a first aide pouch and 2 extra mag pouches to my left and right sides.
    Adds back support because I have the back of the belt looped on the inside of my pc because; of my hydration pouch/fitted better that way.
    You can’t tell because of my added pouches,
    that it isn’t a cummerbund but technically the battle belt is just a high end cummerbund on your waist without plates/pads.
    The room saved because of the shape of the battle belt’s design is why I am not looking for a cummerbund, I can even add side plates and still have enough real estate to add a radio pouch etc..

    • @Tremulousnut
      @Tremulousnut 6 лет назад

      It depends on the company - For some companies a medium means it's for a medium sized person, for others a medium means it use a size medium plate.

    Awesome, informative video. One suggestion for the future: put a few rounds in the magazines (if not fully load them) so the springs don't make as much noise when you're touching them). Maybe I'm just being picky, but I was pretty aware of that throughout the entire video.

    Great video, just for SA though, spalling is when edges of the steel plate brake off from impact and can turn into frag. The anti spalling coating is designed to contain those broken pieces. Fragmentation is what happens when the round impacts. The coating isn't designed to contain frag unfortunately. I know it's just splitting hairs, but something I found interesting when I was issued steel plates for low vis and decided to research.
