Has the Ferro FCPC Gotten Any Better? Jared’s Plate Carrier Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2023
- In this video we dive into how I have my Ferro Concepts FCPC V5 set up. It is put together for an entry team function, with considerations for breaching. It is not set up as an infantry kit, sustainment kit, or recce, or anything else that would have informed the decisions on how and why to prioritize equipment and its placement.
If you have constructive questions or input, please feel free to comment below.

Hes back from getting milk and cigs boys.
From a Marine who was out of kit for 15 years prior to getting into the MilSim thing with my son…I’ve seen the kits completely change. With the new, more minimalistic stuff, I tried and found out that different things work when running in a weekend long MilSim event and some others don’t. Using your kit in real world application as this guy says is key.
That first 5 minutes was spicy 👀
Please can you demonstrate in full kit, in a CQB setting, how to tactically cook an omelette in case the homies get hungry?
Ferro is a great company put im still running my def mech MEPC as a civilian security contractor and I love that. Now that I've seen how you run that drag handle there are like 1000 videos on it but no one actually shows it I know its commen since but still im gonna run one now and geep and stow it like you do
This was a good video. Thanks my dudes, i am subscribing for sure.
I like your humor
Never heard of your page this def got boosted on the algo instantly subbed lol
One thing I wish Ferro would fix. Is the flap that holds the plates in place. It’s one small piece of Velcro in the middle, and if you are running a dangler It’s constantly sagging.
They’re fixing it on the V6
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782is there a date when it's being released
I know this comment is months old, but I found a way to fix that.
First disassemble the PC and turn the front and rear bags inside out. On either side of the elastic strip, on the nylon, on the body facing side of the bag, I placed 2 1.5inx3in adhesive-backed hook velcro strips. Do this for the front and rear bags. Then, take maybe 8-10in of 1in one wrap velcro and attach it to that hook velcro on the front bag, place your plates in and tuck the flap in. Run the one wrap out the bottom, across the bottom of the flap, and attach it to the placard loop velcro area on the front. This functionality acts as the inner plate strap in other carriers.
On the rear carrier, the steps are the same, except the one wrap will run over the plate flap and I wove it into the molle on the back of the rear bag. It's probably easier to do this first, then run it inside the bag and attach it to the hook velcro.
This does take more time to setup, but it fixes the problems of the plates sliding out of position during movement and stretching when adding dangler pouches.
If you're planning to do this on a FCPC you use for duty, I recommend also adding a nylon or plastic specific bonding glue to the adhesive on the velcro so it doesn't separate. I didn't do it on mine, but I've had no issues as of yet.
Who makes that little fanny pack/waist bag? Would be a great kit for an Ifak on duty. Thank you!
DARC tow strap for the win!
great video.
Love the fcpc but it has no means for pontoons or qore vents, how hard would it be to just buy some Velcro on the plate bags? Also the vertical molle for the qasm clips they would switch to the hybrid molle like arbor is doing on their carrier for more flexibility and would cost nothing as it would just be extra laser cuts, lastly maybe first spear fringe cuts like arbor has to save even more weight and one less layer behind the placard, maybe a little more cable management too like dynamic principles and elastic organizer inside the admin pocket like the JPC, haha
Hey Jared, question on IFAKs for ya. I am looking for a good kit for my patrol vest. It’s the Oregon City style so not quite a traditional plate carrier. Whats your thoughts on placement for comfort in a patrol vehicle, etc? I love the idea of Ferro’s roll one but I’m not sure how it would work with the cut of a patrol vest ie: being lower/less space on the back as well as comfort while in a vehicle.
Thanks for all you do!
Came for the review, stayed for the witty remarks and the leather holster which I hope triggered hundreds
First one of your videos I've watched and really enjoyed it, very informative, definitely won't be the last.
I came hoping to find out what plates you're running. I've recently got a large FCPC and am struggling to get plates and IIIA backers to fit properly. The flap barely closes on the rear bag and it seems like it's just going to pop open, especially with my roll 1 tucked in as well.
How did you route the buckles for a pack on the shoulder straps. Best setup I’ve seen
Anyone know of a tutorial for making this drag strap?
Hi guys! love all your videos. i'm considering right now on buying a Crye CPC or Ferro FCPC V5. Can you guys give me an opinion on which one should I get? but to be honest my mind is going on the Ferro side lol. I'm a big person so don't know which one will suit me most between CPC and FCPC V5. I'm planing to get a full set in Multicam color.
PS. looking forward to watch your new contents, Love and peace from Thailand!
Would you consider the shoulder straps to be wide(further out on the shoulders) or narrow (closer to the neck) on these?
Good morning, what adapter do I need for the Ferro 3A soft armor for my slick cummerbund that does not have hook and loop?
Can you make a short video on how to set up the drag handle?
I love this carrier....I wish i had it but its so expensive for my pockets!!!
I hope I will buy it one day!
What is holding the shot gun on the belt? Blackhawk CQD mark 3?
I was gonna say the only reason I want a roll one is back support in the truck, then you hit that…
I’m surprised you didn’t take about the Velcro on the inside of the plate bag. I can’t reliably run abdominal pouches or my role one in them. They did a great job on this plate carrier, but they definitely messed up the Velcro in the plate bag. Better out there.
They’re fixing it on the V6
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 good. I’ll definitely buy it
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 know if it will be an option to buy just thr rear plate bag?
@@Joeyyk it is currently, so I assume it will be for v6 as well.
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 theyre releasing a v6? i thought on their story they said they arent going to make any more because they have a shit ton of money now. unless they meant other than the fcpc gens
I know Ferro said they were looking into having side plates integrated with the soft armor, but for now did you try the carrier with side plates and notice if the "penguin hug" support was significantly lacking or did the cumberbund still give a decent amount of structural support keeping weight off the shoulders?
Plates weigh a lot more and are about 1/3-1/2 the length of soft armor. It’s not the same. Great system still, but I’m only speaking about the soft armor in the video.
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 yeah I gotcha, just was curious if you guys have run the Ferro with side plates and saw any major difference in support.
@@JG41 yes, it’s not the same
My favourite part of this vid is how you define words like rigidity and cognitive for the donkeys watching this haha
RUclips is by far the lowest collective IQ social media platform 😂
Whose drag strap is that or did you create it yourself ?
Where are you bought medical pouch in multicam tripic ?
During op should that drag handle carbiner connected to belt or team mate should connect it then drag ?
It should be connected, locked, and checked prior to mission launch
Have you ever had issues with sizing the shoulder straps? I feel Iike if spent hours on mine trying to get them sized perfectly and have always had issues with feeling fatigue on one side versus the other. I just ordered another mini buckle so hopefully it will eliminate that issue sit it will sit the same in both sides
The shoulder straps could use a revision. Velcro doesn’t run all the way down the rear plate straps and if you’re not super yoked, you’ll prob have to see Velcro and cut down the tail of the straps.
I didn’t really have an issue with that
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 yeah seems like cause of the ring it sits different on my shoulder compared to the qd side. I kinda always just dealt with it but hopefully with having qds on both sides it will fix the issue.
How is it with that shotgun on your side? I have a full length 12g but was thinking about getting a shockwave for a breaching tool.
Preferred method
4:16 Definitely had to subscribe
Do you have to modify your pistol draw, in regards to where and how the radio is mounted?
I’m a lefty, I run the radio on my off side
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 Roger that!
I did a lot of the same stuff to mine. I made a tegris insert to mount my ptt where you did and I also used rubber tube and wrapped it in a cordura sleeve for my drag handle.
Companies call it hook and loop because Velcro is trade marked and they dont want to get sued...
Dang you ditched the scarab? I adore mine
I didn’t want to, but this just better in every way.
Dad? Are you back for real this time?
Na bro, dad's never coming back.
I like my crye spc with axl equinox and ergo eagle harness more than my fcpc v5.
Yipee
Do y’all provide training for us civilians?
You can't mount that cobra velcro cummerbund thingy wrong. Think about it....
Do you have any experience with Agilite? What are your thoughts if so?
I do not
I just sent my tropic Scarab to AXL
just think of it as show and tell
Those jokes though..... Never let them take your jokes, bros.
Who were those guys that did workouts and rope climbs, kettle bell throwing on the shooting range?
No idea
Iron infidel?
Probably Barrel And Hatchet guys
Hi there. We does one get one of those mini bibles? You said its New Testament.
doesnt the carabiner on the back kinda negates the point of having QD's on the carrier?
Nope. Why would it?
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 extra thing to unbuckle when you need to take care of the casualty? Especially when laying on the back
Does the trans velcro come in sus?
Male and female Velcro ….. no wonder why I got some bud lite commercials while watching this
Can tou tell me your height and weight. So i can get an idea if i should run medium or large carrier and medium or large plates. Im 5'7 155lbs broad shoulders. Th
6’1 215
They should make one option on the FCPC to put a rear pouch.
What color is this? The ranger green?
Yep
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 appreciate it!
What size bags and plates
Medium.
Cool gear stuff, because I'm a gear whore (in the most Christian way) but i realllly (with all the lllls) have gleaned a lot from your CQB vids. Would love to have you come out to the Godless state of Wa to train us. Do you leave the land of jambalaya to train a bunch of church men and school teachers in the land of burnt coffee to train? We offer ok pay, whiskey and cigars after training on Saturday and Christian communion on Sundays.
Yeah we travel all over, but I’d reach out to Core Vision first. They’re in WA already and good friends of ours. They won’t have the same travel costs as us and they teach very similarly and have the same philosophy on teaching all Americans. Hope they can help you guys out 🤝
15:06 Why did you show me that?? Next Drill weekend boys next Drill..... #Coltwasneverhere
All this looks nice, dont think my wife will let me get this to play with the boys.
my wife let me buy nods when I said Garand Thumb said we'd die to someone who had them if I don't. I think that excuse might work once in a marraige.
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 Thank you for your service.
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 I have a similar story, but I just asked my wife's boyfriend to co-sign for the GPNVGs
This comment is here to help in the silly RUclips algorithm.
"Throw on kit to watch youtube videos" I feel attacked
nice north carolina flag in the background on that ruck

Hey to you know what condescending means ?
Do*
All this talk about breaching and haven’t seen a video yet??
Some of it is on Ferro’s page. We don’t teach it open enrollment due to liability and insurance issues, and we don’t film much agency/dept training, so there’s no videos just on breaching so far.
dad?
Are you okay, my man?
You remind me of someones disappointed father.
I died when I heard transgender placard
You look a smidge amish. Do you make your own clothes?
I love that he after uses "big" words has to turn around and use a dumb down version so people can understand. smh lol
Looking pretty pale, maybe you should go outside and get some sun?
I have been looking at the plate bags for conventional infantry. have you had any experience with the Wingman attachment for extra mags on the sides of the front plate bag? I don’t get comms, I don’t carry a sidearm, I just want to be able to upscale this to run as much ammo as possible
