Thanks for the vids on the pc & belt, and for your service. Sorry to here of your injuries & early retirement. I hope you're doing as good as can be expected or hopefully even better, from a former 13E from many many years ago. My basic & AIT battery had a bunch of 13F's aka "FIST Platoon" back in the day. Take care, brother.

Nice set up, hope your back home by now! Always like you guy's vids when you're over there!

Thanks brother! I'm getting back into KZread soon and will host a bunch of content of what I do now after retirement from the Army and Law Enforcement. I was reinjured on that 5th and last tour and spent 1.5 years on medical. After surgeries and physical therapy I was discharged 100% VA and forced to retire from my Sheriff Office after 17 years and total of 20 + Law Enforcement. I train Service dogs now threw my non profit facebook.com/AlwaysAWarriorK9/ check it out and support.

How heavy is you complete kit?

I heard that cryes side plates do not fit the plates that are issued to us in the army, is that true?

Nice tan.

I know this is an older video but did the belt have a velcro liner? I would like to be able to throw this on over a velcro edc belt and have it not ride up on me. You definitely had much better gear than I did when I was deployed both times in 2011-2013

The belt is lined with the fuzzy loop in order to put the padding on witch was the hook side. You could easily do a double hook strip and that would work for what you want. I know what you mean by that set up. Our duty belts at the Sheriffs Office worked that way along with belt keepers.

What packs were you running?

What unit are you with?

Thank you for your service brother. I’m a us Marine just wondering how you attached you double mag pouch to your communication pouch. Thanks

@chicopopo24

ajp100009 hey there, that pouch has front pals webbing on it. The radio pouch went directly ontop of the mag pouch. The mag pouch is a single M4. I wouldn't use anything else bigger then single due to the slack it will have empty. The single mag empty was very stable. I used that pouch for an all tracers magazine to coordinate core if needed.

Just curious, where do you keep your nods, i used to keep them right where your smoke grenade pouch is on your kit, but I found they interfered with my draw at the m9 range, thanks in advance

Jacob Kilman I used to carry them next to my IFAC on left hip. It was away from pistol draw and behind IFAC since it was only used at night. Depending on mission, it would ride in my assault pack due to day Operations. Always have them nearby. Many times we would get stuck out till dark when it was supposed to be a quick mission. Remember Blackhawk Down! I carried a PVS-14.

My man I know this is a long time ago, but do you know what brand light adaptor that is on your Beretta? Does it work well? I liked your setup and wanted to make something similar to it.

Question: I read that their high back blast belt was meant to work with the Cage chassis. Is it supposed to ride right on the belt when fully worn?

@chicopopo24

3 ай бұрын

Sorry for the late response. Im just getting back into youtube after my retirement. yes, I wore it over my riggers belt. No cage but it was very comfortable plus the weight distribution and added 3a armor protection.

Quick question, the harness on your belt, Are you wearing those under your plate carrier? How does that work? I wear a plate carrier and belt at the same time.

@chicopopo24

7 жыл бұрын

mkresowski you don't want to wear a battle belt that is connected to a plate carrier. if you have to ditch your armor for any reason, drowning Hazard, exiting a burning vehicle ect: you will at least be armed with some limited ammo. Suspenders keep the belt from moving around and also distributes the weight evenly. Once your belt and suspenders are on then put your plate carrier on over the suspenders.

@mkresowski

Thank you. Perhaps sometime when your bored you could do a video on your battle belt and plate carrier together? Seems like the 5.56 mag on the belt always gets in the way of the plate carrier on mine.

Deplorable Texan if the mag gets in the way due to length of torso/ magazine height try getting the Esstic short magazine pouch and move the wedge down a bit. This will hold the magazine at a lower position. This is what I do now as we speak.
