@Slight Overdoze Solid info...? If the guy actually used it while serving over many years... this is what worked for HIM. Even though it’s “his” setup.... and the way he likes to set it up... I would consider it solid info if the “info” is coming from someone who actually used it in his line of work for several years. And he gives his opinion on what to carry or not to carry... or where to carry.
@Slight Overdoze Yep... ya got me. Crap... missed the little message after word “info”. Man... and I’m usually the one given it to people without a sense of humor... or when your trying to be sarcastic. I guess I’m the Sheldon today. Touché
@@alant5757 Butt hurt are you? What works for anybody other than yourself is an opinion based on their experiences. Notice all the "operators" you adore use various setups? Jeez it is irritating when fan bois comment. Are you going to run around your house with with a full ammo load, one days resupply, rifle and pistol ammo, and God knows what else. This is solid info for a person to evaluate, test, modify and then apply as they see fit.
Awhile back I heard a bump in the night, grabbed a handgun, couldn’t find a flashlight, ran outside dropped my pistol. Determined that would never happen again I set up a home defense kit, ie a belt, very similar to what you’ve shown. I have extra mags, medical, flashlight, knife etc...all I have to do now is grab my rifle, strap on the belt and go to work.
I’m set up like the second belt. I have 2 knifes, a radio, holster, 1 pistol mag pouch, 1 rifle mag pouch. I can do without the larger knife and likely will for an IFAK. If I could fit just one more thing, it would be a canteen pouch I think. General purpose setup.
The transition from ballistic protection and kitchen sink rigs to gear more tailored to the particular needs of a mission or mission set has been really interesting to see. The idea that a tactical situation is basically a sport where the stakes are your life has been productive and driven by real needs from the GWOT ground boys, SOF and civilian shooters into a more "tactical athlete" mindset has been a really cool transition to see. Remember when no one had night vision and the Land CIRAS was the shit ?
I tend to shy away from saying “do this” or “don’t do this” when explaining gear setups to shooters new to belt or chest setups. What I find most helpful is to explain different options, then show them WHAT I USE, HOW I USE IT, and then most importantly WHY I USE IT. Mission always dictates gear, and what works for one person wont work for another. Lastly, gear selection and placement is highly personal. What type or brand of belt and pouches one person uses will differ from the next. It’s why I like John Lovell and Garand Thumbs gear vids. They simply show you what they do, use, and why. At the end of the day I always urge the new shooter to learn multiple different perspectives on setup from pros and then TRY different setups or products to learn what works best for your specific mission’s needs. It’s all what works for the individual and allows them to run their gear at the highest level possible. Not bashing on the vid at all. Just a humble 2¢ regarding what I believe is most helpful to those new to battle belt/plate carrier/etc setups. 🙏🗽🇺🇸
I want to know where to find that 2” padded liner on the Volund belt. I don’t see that offered on their website. I’ve been looking for something like that to aid in traction when not using an inner belt.
This isn't the exact model, but a very similar concept: tacticalgear.com/condor-gen-ii-battle-belt-coyote-brown?hp=y&ft=e3f7bec5-8df6-438f-88ce-592a9bedc97a&msclkid=194a887e39ce1a70b89fe893912751e9&#/22482/2332,13625/1&dl=b
Great explanatory video. Thank you! Question: Is it possible to combine the third belt (the micro battle hybrid belt) with an H-harness? If not this one... are there variants which can? In my mind it would give me the ability to use the belt as the first two and with the added benefit of a thicker battle belt to wear an H-harness. Thank you in advance for your reply. Kind regards, Marten
Hello Marten! There are several belts on the market that offer the ability to use an H-Harness, probably the best known currently is the Condor Battle Belt as shown here: condoroutdoor.com/215-h-harness.html
@@BigDaddyUnlimited Hi and thank you. That doesn’t answer my question though. I am looking for a belt not much wider than 2 inches... which allows a harness to be mounted. A micro battle hybrid belt combined with a harness. What you linked is a full blown battle belt.
@@nirodha7028 You could probably use any commonly available 2" belt, and use belt keepers or some sort of hook to rig up an H-Harness system. We wouldn't recommend it, as H-Harness systems are typically oriented toward a much heavier belt loadout, which would be impractical with such a slim belt.
@@BigDaddyUnlimited Yeah starting to come to terms with the idea of loosing the harness altogether. The 2” belts I am interested in are all 2 or 3 piece systems with a velcro ‘initial’ belt. This locks the belt firmly onto the waist location of the trousers and makes it impractical if not downright annoying to have shoulder straps trying to pull your crotch up when you crouch down or something. Thanks you 👍🏻
Law Enforcement/security referring to a duty belt as a "war belt" or "battle belt"...lol. It's a duty belt. Actual combat arms requirements differ substantially. Most of this stuff would break in real world combat operations. Great for the range, great for competitions and short terms ops, horrible for longer term operations in rugged environments.
Yeah, that's why I opted to steer as far away from anything polymer as possible. Anything that is too rigid just loses me equipment if anything ever broke.
Duty belts are a thing of the past just like the VCR and the VHS tape just a matter of time and money....... No more running around with all that heavy stuff slung around your waist

Ok in case u wondered like me. The 3rd “current belt” is a volund gear works 2” Micro Battle Belt V3. Looks like his is the tan belt w gray molle.
Thank you
Very informative. Obviously an expert that has used this gear as part of his profession.

How did you like the marshals? Considering going either border patrol or usms after I get out as I'm active military currently
I made mine for my landscaping job !
very nice vid, thank you, not a lot of bs and add ons. great job.
Thanks! Great vid!
👍thanks for the video! I’m looking for a (battle belt) set-up
Can you post a link for the third belt you mentioned please? Thanks!

who makes that slim padded inner belt for the "current setup"?
Who makes the SOFF tourniquet holder?

Can you imagine having to dust that background? Who thought up that monstrosity? Certainly didn’t consult the janitor.
Who dusts wood planks
@@blackwolfkodi His grandma.
Good info. Your idea of concealed carry is definitely different than mine... ;-)
What brand was the velcro in pad on the third setup?
I like to refer to mine has the Billy the Kid cowboy belt
Nice.
I have a multi-tool, Mace and Flashlight on my belt. If the shtf you'll need more than mags and a pistol. js
Some people also carry those things in their pockets.
@@HotelBravo556 Go ahead, put a multi-tool in your pocket. What could go wrong? eunuch
Thank you! Can't shoot everything. Sometimes you need to make that person or animal go away.
That's sold, remind of when I did security.
If you conceal appendix then why not mount the holster out front?
Appendix is ideal for conceal carry to the the conceal-ability and the motion of clearing garments. OWB, strong side always wins.
What holster are you using?
Safariland
Big Daddy is located in florida? Or is just this guy?
Cool video btw...
Our company is based out of Gainesville, FL
Both.
I spray paint my tighty whiteys multi cam so that when i hear a bump in the night, and put on my multicam war belt, I don’t look too ridiculous...

Just mirror it.

Could I get a list of your medical in your pouches.

Battle Belt? You mean an anti Biden belt. Yeah, everyone needs to get one of those.
Biggest problem that I have is that the industry doesn't give a shit about fat people. I have a hard time finding a great quality belt that fits.
I mean that sounds like more of a reason to maybe try to better yourself
