I'm gonna try to find a way to do maybe a live stop the Bleed or the medical training I do for LE. Everyone that goes to thw class will be able to download and print the very same handout I made for classes

At 75 and disabled, I guess I’ll stay home and do the best I can. Your advise is solid for the able bodied. This makes me realize how venerable I will be if the shit hits the fan

Dont go full delusional with the defensive positioning of your house, but make sure you have an easily accessible space that you can take up to make its expensive (like the guy above me said) to take you out. Being expensive, with little reward or upside to their taxing losses. Use perception to your advantage by looking worthless, but pack a heavy and costly bite.

Something I recently added is a pair of snake gaiters. The southern woods are full of venomous snakes, so I want some protection. In fact, I encountered a 5 foot eastern diamondback rattlesnake last week while walking near a tree line...

Many, many years ago, my LE tac team got these new things called "plate carriers", and my young guys started making Superman noises. I told them, next time they shower, hold a plate up to where it would be worn and see just how much pink stuff was uncovered. The invincible noises stopped shortly after. Plates have their uses, but gods are they heavy. Oh, sub'ed to ur channel. Keep up the good work, and be safe.

Great info as always..and you are so right about the plate carrier and weight...the day after I had walked around for a couple of hours in mine with 6 mags as well, I was feeling it in the bones!

​@olderiverhardgoods one of my favorite things is while you do dishes, mowing the lawn, raking leaves, driving your car(provided you're not getting out), find an old country road and go for a mile walk or start small with half a mile, while folding laundry. Doing it while doing mundane tasks really exposes fit issues because we bend and move in ways we don't on the range.

Man my belt setup is very similar! I also use mine for work, be safe brother.

Irish Setters are great boots, at least as far as my experience with them. Wolverine, Justin, lots of great options. When I enlisted we had surplus Korea, and Vietnam gear (81). You need what you need, as per mission requirement.

Run the SOE Tactical micro rig and XL Fupa w dangler. Literally has outlasted every other chinesium made products from other "name brand" products. You'll pay a little more and wait for it, but it is heirloom quality and unmatched. They built war gear for NSW and special forces before there even was a tactical nylon gear industry

BTW, congrats on the channel growth brother. Been here since you were at around 1000 followers. Awesome to see and the vids are still rocking!

I’m glad you’re liking the Kore belt. I’ve had mine for about 7 months and I love it.

I love my red wing 605 boots. Broken in it’s like wearing sneakers but they are extremely water resistant with a gusseted tongue.

Hear me out. You can wear a plate carrier without plates…. If you’re not sure whether to go PC or CR, because you cant afford plates yet, that is an option. Also hear me out, i think an assault pack with a water source and some sustainment is probably the second thing to square away after the chest rig. (Which you touched on later)

I have a Ronin gun belt. Would you rather buy a chest rig and slimmed down (slick) plate carrier oooooooor just a plate carrier that has all the pockets for ammo etc built in if you could only choose one option for SHTF?

@unclefreedom213

Ай бұрын

If I can only have one I'll take mobility and a solid chestrig that has more space. You best way to win a fight is to not get in one.

environment dictates a lot of what you use also. For example if im in the woods Im going to be using my modified alice gear for a multitude of reasons. Another thing is the more skills you have the less shit you have to carry. you have to protect your back its recommended you carry no more than 10 percent of your body weight. So if your carrying 20 percent of your body weight your pushing it especially if your out of shape. Im 51 and I work out extensivley 5 days a week and I try to keep the weight under 30 lbs. Screw a helmet when I was in the infantry i hated wearing that crap. Give me a boonie cap lol.

I’d like to hear your opinion on something. What do you think about wearing 2 different size mags on duty belt to make it a little easier to grip that first mag. For example, right now I’m running a Glock 22. My first mag has a +5 baseplate and second mag is standard 15 round Glock mag. My thoughts behind it was to get to my first mag faster/easier. I was running both of them with +5s. Have you ever ran it this way?

@unclefreedom213 I appreciate the input, that's certainly on my list of gear to buy. Walkers work, especially with upgraded ear pads, but they're pretty clearly not even close to top end. Ran peltors when I was in and even being old beat models they were nicer. Just gotta fit them in to my budget! This pay period I focused on building up a better stockpile of high quality ammo thanks to some of your other videos. You're the man
