On a side note, in the swamps, with the temp down to freezing and completing all of those @#$%&%$ water crossings, we always wondered in late November and early December 1970 at how the RIs were such tough dudes--they never shivered, never seemed to be fazed by the weather and water. Fifty years later, in 2020, a former RI told me that when "walking the lanes", the RIs wore 1/4" wetsuits, purchased from a local dive shop, to wear under their jungle fatigues. The Rest of the Story! :-))
@@maddmoxx6414 :-)) "...that thin ass rain gortex under their uniform>" ?? Memories!! Thanks, MaddMoxx4!! From Dec 1970, fast forward to 1985. There I was in the 505th of the 82nd, wearing light-wight goretex under my BDU shirt. Bought it at General Jackson's Surplus on Yadkin Road. (Still have it in 2022 and use it!) The division commander, James Johnson, would not let anyone wear a goretex parka outside their BDU shirt or field jacket, so...those who bought them had to wear them "clandestinely.".
@@4325air That mentality was still around back then. If you got it issued to you, you had to ruck it, but you couldn't use. Before gortex used my field jacket liner, under my BDU. I also remember buying a pair of gortex go devil boots Kept my feet warm for like an hours than jumped into fox hole arm pit deep with water. Jungle boots all the way....
My Ranger class was from Oct - Dec 1970. How did we survive, much less graduate, without all of this gear? Balaclava, neck gator, fleece caps? All we had was a field jacket and the Ranger patrolling cap with ear flaps. We were allowed to go to Ranger Joe's (then in downtown Columbus) and buy some nylon quilted underwear.) Those were the days before Goretex and polartec fleece and polypro, chemlights, eye-pro, head-lamps, write-in-the-rain paper, and wipes were invented. No polypro or such socks. Just the Army issue boot socks. No ziplock bags--not invented yet. We did buy long greenish plastic rifle bags (dated 1944, used during amphib landings) to be used as waterproof bags ("Elephant Rubbers). I am envious!! Here's the thought, beside much of this gear not even being invented, there was no internet, hence no way to pass around tips and lessons learned to everyone--such as these excellent videos by Gritty Soldier. My gosh I feel like I was in Ranger School during the Revolutionary War, and I feel so....ancient! We take so much for granted nowadays.
Thanks for your service Old School! Mine was 9 weeks, Class 1-90. Didn't have all the highspeed gear either, no gortex, but did have polypro socks in the form of polyester dress socks.
@@K37-h1z 😆😆That's right! Up hill both ways, but also in knee-deep snow with 50mph winds and temp at minus-60 degrees! And nothing to eat every day but one John Wayne Bar. Seriously, so proud and grateful--after 52 years--of earning my Tab, but I never want to go through that course ever again.
I would soooo much appreciate this packing list! I’ve spent over $1000 on my first try at getting my TAB, I’m going again this next FY and anything I get would help. Your content is so informative and great. Keep doing what your doing
Those land nav overlays are great, hard to find sometimes too! Forgot that super small dia paracord! Handy for lashing and leashing! Also the Cammenga Tritum is a better wrist compass imho. Make a cover to prevent the light from getting out like you do to cover your watches. Make your own Ranger bands by buying a few different sizes of bike inner tubes. Makes a ton of em! Huge, small and medium. Juicy fruit is banana btw, and if they allow caffeine gum, take some but don't mess up your sleep if sensitive either. Use discretion!
Recently got a slot slot for Ranger school in February, winning The Ranger Pack would definitely help in regards to prepping for school. Aside from that, been binge watching your videos to get as much info on what to expect. Appreciate what you do!
Signing my RTLI contract next week. I know the packing list is a task, but excited for the opportunity nonetheless. Thank you for the constant content and pointers!
This is great! I would love this as a person that tries to be prepared even though I am disabled. Also would love to get one for my nephew who is heading out active.
aww man wish i would've found this video earlier these items definitely will come in handy with my MOS. I've watched your videos before I shipped to OSUT, I graduated and now I've been with my unit for about 3 months and I've been sharing your videos to my battle buddies. We are getting ready to go on a combat deployment in a few wks, I just wanted to say your videos have been very helpful and I hope you continue to make these videos for future and current soldiers. Where I'm going I doubt I will have a stable connection but I will definitely catch up with your videos when I return from my deployment. Keep up the good work sir !
Great you invest the money to buy the package, and as soon as you turn your back those who are missing certain items with become long fingers, and steal your stuff.
so how often do you have access to your duffle bags are they always close by? and do the RI's tell you what you'll need every time you go out to do a mission/test ect?
On the last day of chritmas my gf gave to me 4 dell delis. 3 cobra cobblers, 2 chill chilis, and 1 ranger pack she got for free for commenting on gritty soldiers ranger pack comments box!
So i am attending Ranger School 2022 at March. IS there a way that someone could buy the kit for me (i will pay) and pass it to me when i arrive at the camp?
@@GrittySoldier problem is that I will be an international student and I cannot order that into Estonia. There is a really interesting story how I got listed into Ranger School. So I'm making history here... But yea the ordering is not possible for me
I'm set to graduate High School soon. I've been training to be an Army Ranger since I was fourteen years old utilizing advice from recruiters, connections, my coaches, and RUclips channels such as this one. Winning this Ranger Pack would be a huge help for when I get to Ranger School enabling me to learn about what specific things I should expect to be utilizing in regards of equipment. It would be a huge help, hopefully this pack goes to somebody who will truly utilize it to it's max.
Keep your content coming. For every Ranger candidate that is watching this, I believe there are many more of us that are following for the fitness information that applies us individually. This load out cross applies to many outside of the Ranger process.
what's the bfa? I am thinking of getting one of these kits for part of emergency supplies. Obviously some of it are things I would never use but overall I love this. Not going to Ranger school :-) But good luck.
I love that you do this. Not only is it essential for ranger school it is highly informative for anyone who spends a lot of time in the woods, hiking, hunting, camping, etc. You want people to succeed, and that says a lot about your character. Thank you for the videos, and for being a great American. Please keep them coming, and the rest of us will continue to learn, and grow. Strength and Honor.
Definitely some nice stuff there that can make life easier even foe regular field environment. Your willingness to give this away, speaks greatly of your character and wanting to see your fellow soldiers be successful. You videos have definitely helped me in some areas. Other areas, I still need improvement on.
Dang, nice kit. I was in the Marines for a lifetime and I will say that kit is an outstanding idea! I wish we had that available when I was in. Excellent idea to sell a ready made kit!
The soul reason I joined the Army was to become a ranger, I had a rough getting to where I am today. I’m currently stationed in Fort Hood and Im looking to go to Ranger School in April. I sure hope to win that would be a blessing. KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT GRITTY! 🇺🇸😎👍🏻
Zip lock baggies are indispensable. They great for kitting out your stuff and compartmentalization. Large ones can be used as a wash machine, add powder detergent and shake. Water/sweat protection for anything you can't afford to get damp.
In my day (class 10-92) if you were headed to RS straight out of IOBC packing list was fairly straight forward, you could just go to Ranger Joe’s off Victory Drive and pick everything up. But this pack would be a Godsend for anyone who wasn’t already at Mother Benning.
@@chriscr21 I cant speak for today, but the packing list in 1992 was fairly similar (no headlamps, no fleece beanie, those weren't really a thing back then). And yes, some of it is extra, but a ranger student will really use most of this stuff in the course, and the extra gear is there for if you lose something or a ranger buddy loses something. Ranger school is 2 months long (it was 2 months, 1 week long in 1992, there was a desert phase back then), and it's not like you can just run to PX during the course if you need something. You won't carry all of those supplies on your back at once, most of your gear is in your locker in the barracks, you stock up your rucksack as needed for field exercises, then replenish the supplies in your ruck from the gear in the barracks as you rotate through the field problems You come in from the field every 7-10 days.
@@morantactical1105 Yeah, I am aware, was a shame when they got rid of Desert Phase, all political BS. The Guys dying in Florida was a terrible tragedy as well. I know where a few of the extra things came in, it was after that horrible incident in Florida. I think it is a good pack, just some of it for me I wouldn't have used so I wouldn't bother with it is all. The Thing that a lot of people do not do is go through and practice how to pack their ruck as well, we had a lot of people that were choppy at first until they started paying attention to a bunch of us. We did that at the 82nd in our Recon Platoon and it just carried over when a few of us went to Pre-Ranger and Ranger School. Wrecked my knee in Mountain Phase and I basically blew it off for the most part, but it caught back up to me in Hawaii when I was working out to go back and finish what I started.
@@chriscr21 Yeah, going into RS straight out of IOBC is a real force multiplier. You go to the field A LOT in IOBC,, literally every other week is a 5 day FTX. After 5 months of IOBC your rucksack packing game is on point.
@@morantactical1105 Very true, but I am sure you saw the same kind of people I did hahaha All souped-up, shit everywhere, not organized at all. I am amazed some of them made it through Pre-Ranger. haha
currently recovering from eye surgery, so I've just been sitting at home for the past week reading the ranger handbook and watching so many of your videos just soaking in the info. Looking to go to SURT May2022 and then get my tab shortly after. I would love to win this Ranger pack. It would definitely help as I prepare for Ranger School. Thank you for all the videos and content you put out.
Man, that’s super well thought out and a great overview of the contents. Good to reinforce the hand care goop too…everyone is a badass until their hands are cracked and chapped and they’re trying to do a fine task or grope around in mud, grease, or saltwater in the cold. An ounce of prevention prevents pounds of unneeded suck.
I’m closing one chapter with the marine corps and working on starting a new chapter with the army, your videos have been great on opening my eyes of things I can do and should do to become a better person overall, keep up the great work
Looks like a true load out here for most schools or combat operations in general all conditions! Well put together! 👏! Good luck to whomever wins this! Disabled veteran here! Bless you from Oklahoma! Thanks for sharing!
Jerry, where are you in Oklahoma? My dad was born in Mangum in 1918, high school in Sapulpa, and met Mom at OAMC (OSU) in Stillwater. Mom was born in 1922 in the Covington/Garber oil field. Later, as an Army Brat, we lived in Enid for a year while Dad was in Korea. Got relatives in Tulsa and Heavener.
Upload some content Chief; I subbed! (Preface: I’m assuming you’re going to Ranger School at some point and have already gotten through Airborne Quals. If I’m wrong; I apologize!) As I’ve yet to enlist; I just know that “GBRS Group” or “Forward Observations” style “motivational” video log is missing for the airborne! I can’t find it if it does. If you don’t do it; I will when I’m there 😂 As a self aware loser who’s working on himself; I’d eat that shit up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
It would be great to win the pack but just seeing some of the minor details really helps. I will definitely use some of the tricks I saw in this video. Thanks!
Excellent content. Great packing list and one-stop shop setup. Gives young Ranger candidates the chance to focus on the critical skills while not worrying about having the right kit on hand. RLTW/DOL
Gritty Soldier, do you think it enhances the organizations skillset if support MOSs are able to get slots alongside their combat arms peers? I hear a lot since im in a desk job that support MOSs dont need it, but i want to differentiate myself from my peers and come prepared to different units to assist and help and work alongside different Soldiers.
Speaking from 20 years of experience, they're telling you that you don't need to because they don't want to process the paperwork. Dot your Is, cross your Ts, and make them tell you no if that's the commander's l decision.
You guys were way more badass. My 11B AIT was next door to you “guys” in Harmony Church in 88. All you guys had Mohawk’s and wore Vietnam OD Greens with jungle boots that looked totally badass. The first thing I did once out of AIT is got my “original” jungle boots. I bought two pairs, one looks like it went through a blender and one for inspections. I love and still wear my beat up ones to ride my motorcycle. Hate to see standards dropped. Hooaaahhh!!
Spare socks, underwear and hand warmers. And those stocking hats. So damn critical. Gloves too. Never give up. Take your critical gear to a tailor and have some items tacked extra. Experts can tell you what and where. ASK! Better to have too much and make friends. And give it your all! You only get so much and you are out. Give it 200%!!! Loosing easy points is stupid and your own fault. READ THE RULES! Know them!
Shit im late! LOL grats to whoever wins, I never win anything anyway so I didnt miss out haha! :D Looks really neat actually, but more than that it actually helped me with a few things for my pack. Thanks!!
Class 13-85 and I feel like 4325air. How did I ever make it back in the day without all of this stuff? We had 1st generation goretex and sleep shirts for snivel gear. Poncho and poncho liner kept me warm and dry all over the world except for an Alaskan deployment and a couple winters in the Italian Alps
Might sound stupid to ask but I'll do it. So I'm actually AF and we're authorized coyote balaclava. Would I got with the black or coyote. I'd obviously bring both but just seeing witch to follow 🤷♂️
Hooah! Went through Sapper school at Ft Leonard Wood, but never got the chance to attend Ranger school (well, I was offered Ranger School but I was 38 and a leg!) Rob (11B4H, retired)
0:35 if can't follow simple instructions for a packing list, how they supposed to trust you with their backs and on a mission. Literally that's how people die.
I'm to old for it,curious as to why the military now makes you buy all these items that should be issued,especially magazines. It was bad enough I had to buy my uniforms back then. Fn.sad
Your content is money!!! My buddy bought one of these and he said it saved so much time frim running around and fi sing some of thise items and definitely money. Getting my hands on one of these will definitely help when I go to Ranger School this up coming summer

The list is a WHOLE LOT bigger that it used to be!!
And most of it looks like shit that will be used for layouts only and never see the light of day afterwards.
Excellent content. Great packing list and one-stop shop setup. Gives young Ranger candidates the chance to focus on the critical skills while not worrying about having the right kit on hand.

Watching this reminds me of the WLC layout back in 2006. One of the SHLs kept shouting "this is not AIT," because so many people came missing items.
😂
When I went to WLC, one of the other students said his unit looked at WLC as another version of Basic or AIT, like a refresher or remedial course.
Excellent idea of creating an all in one pack with every item present, and all items both proven winners and approved by Ranger School Cadre.
This is brilliant stuff. Great to have for Ranger School and beyond.
Great looking kit. That will definitely come in handy at school.
Gritty Soldier, do you think it enhances the organizations skillset if support MOSs are able to get slots alongside their combat arms peers? I hear a lot since im in a desk job that support MOSs dont need it, but i want to differentiate myself from my peers and come prepared to different units to assist and help and work alongside different Soldiers.
RS is more than tactics, it makes you more resilient and aware of how far you can actually go even when it seems impossible. Go.
Speaking from 20 years of experience, they're telling you that you don't need to because they don't want to process the paperwork. Dot your Is, cross your Ts, and make them tell you no if that's the commander's l decision.
I work with troubled kids in the wilderness,I have to find out how to get one of these things. My stuff is so old the romans may have used it
Rasp second class had my bag. Can't tear rip or sit poor .
I can only WISH, I had this back when I went through hell in Harmony Church, waaay back in the 80's...
You guys were way more badass. My 11B AIT was next door to you “guys” in Harmony Church in 88. All you guys had Mohawk’s and wore Vietnam OD Greens with jungle boots that looked totally badass.
The first thing I did once out of AIT is got my “original” jungle boots. I bought two pairs, one looks like it went through a blender and one for inspections. I love and still wear my beat up ones to ride my motorcycle.
Hate to see standards dropped.
Hooaaahhh!!
Guess I was smart being medded out and embracing retirement
Spare socks, underwear and hand warmers. And those stocking hats. So damn critical. Gloves too. Never give up. Take your critical gear to a tailor and have some items tacked extra. Experts can tell you what and where. ASK! Better to have too much and make friends. And give it your all! You only get so much and you are out. Give it 200%!!! Loosing easy points is stupid and your own fault. READ THE RULES! Know them!
Shit im late! LOL grats to whoever wins, I never win anything anyway so I didnt miss out haha! :D Looks really neat actually, but more than that it actually helped me with a few things for my pack. Thanks!!
Class 13-85 and I feel like 4325air. How did I ever make it back in the day without all of this stuff? We had 1st generation goretex and sleep shirts for snivel gear. Poncho and poncho liner kept me warm and dry all over the world except for an Alaskan deployment and a couple winters in the Italian Alps
The Army should be issuing these kits at day one. Then if you quit you should have to reimburse at least half of the value.
Old soldier here.. Desert Shield/Desert Storm.. 12B.. nothing but love
Might sound stupid to ask but I'll do it. So I'm actually AF and we're authorized coyote balaclava. Would I got with the black or coyote. I'd obviously bring both but just seeing witch to follow 🤷♂️
Hooah! Went through Sapper school at Ft Leonard Wood, but never got the chance to attend Ranger school (well, I was offered Ranger School but I was 38 and a leg!) Rob (11B4H, retired)
0:35 if can't follow simple instructions for a packing list, how they supposed to trust you with their backs and on a mission. Literally that's how people die.
I am going to Ranger School June 14th.
Thanks for the video.
👍
I'm to old for it,curious as to why the military now makes you buy all these items that should be issued,especially magazines. It was bad enough I had to buy my uniforms back then. Fn.sad
Your content is money!!! My buddy bought one of these and he said it saved so much time frim running around and fi sing some of thise items and definitely money. Getting my hands on one of these will definitely help when I go to Ranger School this up coming summer
I am an Eagle Scout, I would love to play with pretty much everything in there. Toys very limited since corona shut down coal mines. Lol
