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.

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.

@@climbermatt556 dirty civilian is a derogatory term, well at least it use to be.

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.

*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.

"Sustainment load for multi day minuteman patrol" irl insurgents: *laughs in caches*

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.

Excellent video brother, I've been looking for a ruck pack and the Crossfire looks like a winner.

There is nothing light about light infantry

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
