Very good presentation, your background is like "gold" for this Cold War 11B4V. An unspoken reality for civilian minutemen (that I may have missed in the video) is this: civilian tactics, techniques, & procedures will differ greatly from military TTPs because there probably-wont be a push package, a supply-chain, SINCGARs, and a host of taxpayer funded equipment, ammo, & arms. There probably won't be a bunch of Tabbed, RIP, or ROP grads ready to take the point either. Tactics like a 4 man stack plowing through a door doesn't seem very cool any more when there aren't any replacements. No artillery support, no MEDEVAC, & no CAS. TRANSPO might be on a turnip truck. My load plan is 99% of yours; I'll make some changes & ruck more. This video goes a long way in supporting this reality Thanks.
@@asphal.t I don’t know if you are joking about going home afterwards and I don’t know if I agree with that view point but what I do know is that joke was F’ing gold.
My jaw dropped when you pulled out a second pair of blue jeans from your ruck. It's so brilliant i dont know why i never thought of it, overt vs covert blue jeans. Please let me know where to buy covert blue jeans, all of mine are the overt variety. Or maybe there covert... Regardless please let me know where i can buy both.
I have tan wrangler cowboy cut jeans that I think would would give you slightly more concealment than bright blue jeans but if you downgrade gear and go to a t-shirt and work boots, you look blue collar. Rock them with a camo top and your golden.
*sigh* I've been so hesitant to go over my sustainment load because I feel like it's either such a standardized thing it doesn't bear talking about, or it's geared toward situations so remotely likely that it doesn't matter much. But I think I might just have to do one specific toward a swampy/wet environment. Also, I carry a load of civilian clothes in my setup as well. So if I post a video, don't say I stole the idea lol.
Dirty Civilian is a RUclips channel. They've posted a lot of excellent tactical, preparedness, and self sufficiency minded material. Definitely worth looking into.
New sub. Retired LEO and USA/TXARNG NCO. SWAT background. Small arms instructor/range opr. Went through NG OCS where we lived by the Ranger Handbook. LEO and MIL sniper/countersniper courses and much competition shooting with LEO, brown- and black-gun disciplines. Glad to see your content as it is refreshingly common-sense vs hooahhooahmucketooah. My SHTF/WORL loadout would be woodland BDUs, my comfy old ventilated vest rig that I used for MIL competition after replacing the (all canvas, no nylon) ALICE rig, an M5 build with IR LPVO and XD45.
ALICE pack with upgraded straps, if needed, for those more budget minded would be my only point. I personally have a tactical tailor MALICE from 2008. But I still have love for the OG ALICE and now that money matters to me I wouldn't drop crazy money.
After watching his videos i see the importance of wearing blue jeans to blend into being a civillian if you need to drop gear. I have wrangler tan jeans that work really well instead of blue and will use a multicam, DCU, or desert marpat camo top to give me slightly more concealment than bright blue jeans out in the desert. Its easy to tell they are jeans if you are spotted and don't look tactical or like cargo pants
I was in a different army, but we have a smaller backpack with core essentials (YMMV) that we strap onto the larger one. Mission essentials and whatever you need to survive for 24-48 hours. If you walk into a heavy contact, or need to E&E. Grab the smaller backpack and hual ass. Be mindful that it was issued gear. But if you carry a heavy ruck, make a plan for what you can and can not ditch. And an effective way to do it.
Good point. I have been bagging at different sizes. Arm band I'd holder that actually carries a North American arms, second is fanny pack, third is first aid fanny Pak, 5th is kelty redwing 45 liter edc backpack used for day hiking exploring and has a sustained load, 6th is big bag that carries sleeping bag and pad clothes saw water essentials. I would ditch in opposite order. Oh 7 th bag is that pew pew kit
I do like the idea of staying ready to switch into covert mode for the prepared minuteman. I think its better to integrate an appendix holster into my full kit than it is to carry a redundant sidearm and holster in my backpack, though. A 60 pound ruck is getting a little crazy, and eliminating that second pistol is an easy place to reduce weight.
For anyone who insists on running a gun belt and has the inner and outer Velcro bands, I put my inner band on as my pants belt and then throw the outer band in my ruck sack near the top. It makes patrolling and follow on missions so much easier in my opinion.
Hey you look like a Giga Chad so suggestions are only that. I have a Food Saver vacuum packer. Ammo neatly stacked and vacuumed sealed is compact and silent. Just thoughts. Oh and its protected from moisture.
Way too much gear. It'll slow you down when trying to flee the area. And even if you dump your gear, now your enemies have more supplies and all of that effort in putting into setting up your gear was all for nothing. Take only what is really necessary. 1. 3 day rations 2. Camelbak & 1qt cateen 3. Rain Poncho 4. Jungle & Mylar blanket 5. Trauma kit w/ meds 6. Gas mask w/ 2 filters 7. Water filter & tables 8. Climbing robe 9. Military E-Tool 10. Weapon cleaning kit 11. (2) Flares 12. (2) Glow Sticks 13. Hygiene kit 14. Utility/survival Kit As for weapons. Well, that's up to the minuteman. "The more you know, the less you need."
Speaking to the weight, my ruck in OSUT was not allowed to be under 65lbs- and we were not given any ammo. It’s extremely easy for a soldier to accrue weight when planning to operate for prolonged periods through variable climate/weather patterns. Sleep system, ECWCS, water, couple MREs, all this stuff adds ounces and ounces make pounds. Shave weight when and where you can but also come to terms with heavy weights.
Good video. Important point of emphasis is that this 65ish lb ruck is for the individual. Factor in a team, squad or higher, you bring in special equipment, crew serve weapon and mortar ammunition, larger more capable radios and when things get really fun anti-armor weapons. I'm sure drone operators have a chonky protective case. The final weight could be described as a "significant emotional event" for the uninitiated. Don't skip leg day.
I do the same bivy woobie set up i also live in NC, near wilmington so like you said it doesnt get cold enough here to need heavy winter gear. Jan and feb are the coldest months and it rarely gets below freezing. Light a fire and youll stay warm
Bravo , you actually said what t 2nd ammendment was supposed to mean "stopping tyrants" if things get any worse,i believe we might have to arm up and do that very thing 😉
Would be wise to learn and implement ultra-light camping gear/techniques. Not accounting for ammunition, weapon, and water, you can get a 5 day loadout to around 20lbs.
Serious question: how often do you guys really have to screw down something? I went on multiple week long hikes as well as one or 2 days of hunting trips and i never needed to screw down anything. Also if the idea is to do ambush why not something like a entrenching tool if you need to prepare your position? And last: Maybe do a Minuteman "sports routine". That kit is heavy so why not share some basic ideas to stay in shape.
Your wet weather gear is buried. When the ruck is nearly full stuff the jacket on one side and the pants on the other with a leg and arm available to pull out easily. You don't want everything getting wet just to access hard shells. Also, all warm weather gear at the bottom should be in a heavy duty garbage bag. If that gear gets wet you're at risk of hypothermia.
I wonder how your opinion would change if you paid the $520.00 for the Ruck. I have decision paralysis when it comes to pulling the trigger on a non-milsurp Ruck. It's hard to talk myself into paying $400-$600 on nylon, that I can't put my hands on prior to purchase.
Hey man, why do you put heavy up top? heavy usually goes in the middle of the pack closest to your back, with midweight on the bottom and lighter items up top and lightest items in the middle further from your back. Thanks for the video.
also one thing i noticed you were missing or didnt mention was a dry bag or large ziplocs to carry water from a creek or river to a base camp for your group
i cant express the intensity of having such a heavy load. you need to make sure you are practicing carrying this very often. and i'd start off with something small, 15-25 lbs and work my way up. you need to condition your shoulders and legs for this.
The one thing you didn’t explain is what a sustainment load IS. It’s to keep you functional in the field for a few days. All these suggestions about what else you could carry miss this point. It’s not an existence load.
@@BlueJeanOperator That makes sense. As a former tanker I would have my pistol in either my tanker holster or TA-50/LBV (kind of dating myself), but your comment on rucking with a gun belt definitely makes sense.
I have an ACH as my helmet, great protection. I do have a huge problem with wearing ears while using it though; it just annihilates my head and gives me a headache. Any recommendations to get that sorted?
Heavier stuff towards the top and ALSO closer to your back, the worst place to place weight is all the way down and to the outside of your ruck. It basically is pulling you down and backwards constantly.
Hold on hold on... you've got 2 combat loads worth of ammo but no UpLula speed loader? How are you gonna reload, fast? Also I didn't see any binoculars; ALWAYS carry binocs or spotting scope b/c you must see the bad guys before they see you. Happy hunting!
Just missing the carton of Kools and 12 pack of white monsters stuffed inside a trash bag. But seriously, pack sugar free energy drinks kids, when one inevitably explodes in your ruck the bugs wont be as horny to get all up in your stuff.
@@juliusdro I suppose that everything depends on exactly how bad the shit show gets, IF there is one, however, I would not recommend wearing any part of an enemy uniform in any situation.
