As an infantryman in the army I can tell you this...you can own all of the gear on the planet and it will mean nothing without two things you must earn: mental fortitude and physical fitness. Without those you're basically a turret or dead weight. Get your gear, train with it, and push yourself to levels you didn't think possible, and then push yourself further.

Not a fan of going smaller on boots. As someone that hikes quite a bit you should definitely go up a half to a full size on your boots. Your feet swell when you walk x number of miles per day and going smaller will eventually plague you with foot problems, especially with a heavy pack. There is a reason that most through hikers on the Appalachian Trail go up a size on their footwear.

Back when I was enlisted, we would always get partially inserted and then we’d have 1-2 days to get to the obj. You’d get your full load out and maybe sit at the obj in a defensive position for a day or two. The reason why is that the Seals are kitted out for mission specific. More times than not, they are in and out of their objectives. The scenario they are speaking of is a general topic. You don’t know what you’ll need, so here is the minimum that you should have so you’ll be generally prepared. If you train or plan for what you’ll specifically be doing and have a group, you can carry less and split it amongst yourselves. Marine infantry would have to ways they’d enter their objective, hard hit, or a soft hit. Hard hit is getting dropped off stupid close to the obj with little to no element of surprise. Soft hit, is being dropped off klicks away and sneaking to the obj. This is obviously for the element of surprise and to use last minute recon of obj. But again. Mission specific. In a civilian perspective, I would personally carry an assault load minimum, and have the rest easily accessible.

@@nathanpettigrew6420 If we are kitting ourselves out like this we must assume this is the worst case scenario. I think a "concerned citizen" loadout would be different. You will most likely be in the woods. Hopefully you arent trying to hunker down in cities where its easier to find people and where the "powers that be" / oppositional groups will have the most ass. You and your merry group of men should be able to transport the most of what you need on foot and what needs to be in vehicles should be limited as much as possibe due to checkpoints and the obvious profile of vehicles being on roads easily spotted and followed. You need to pick up your bivoauc and move as often as possible. Because of this, each man must be as self sustaining as possible.

I have recently upgraded my gear and in the process was able to greatly streamline my load out by being very critical of the scenarios I am most likely to encounter. As an example- I don't live in the north so having a super heavy sleeping bag is pointless. I can carry a lighter one and then use a cover to boost the efficiency should I find myself in colder than average temperatures. All of my major components are in their own cinched up bags so that nothing is loose in the main compartment and everything in that compartment is related to shelter or dry clothes. That makes loading and unloading fast and easy and it remains organized. The outside pouches are for food, fire, first aid and other misc. gear. I'm not trying to be an expert here but hopefully some of my insights will cause others to challenge what and how they gear up.

Great video guys. Lots of great info. Thank you for your time.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing! This is a great baseline for everyone who is working on their rig. But again, as it was mentioned in the video, and as many commenters on here said, it is all about consistent training with the gear that you have. You can buy anything you want, as gucci as you want, but at the end of the day, if you have never tested your gear out in the field, consider most of it not just useless, but a burden. In the civilian world it is especially hard to have the opportunity to test the gear, so organize training events with your buddies, go out into the woods, mountains, plan back country hikes, climbs, camps, etc., and take your gear out and put it to use. Not only you will learn the application of your gear and become proficient with it, but you will also develop your preference and then start customizing your rig, adjusting it to fit you personally. Train now and have fun while doing it so that you are prepared when survival is no longer for fun, but an only option. God bless!

All the gear you’ll ever need is an easy question to answer: a MRE spoon. If you know, *you know.*

When selecting your field pack, avoid plastic frames. They can hold up but if they fail, it’s usually catastrophic. I’ve spoken to several fellow Marines whose ILBE packs snapped during cold weather ops (Norway, Alaska, etc.) A good option is to buy a used ALICE pack frame (or just buy a whole ALICE pack) and then reinforce the rivets with a paracord lashing since they rivets often fail first. It often takes some modification, but the ALICE frame fits many issued military field packs. Nice thing is, if the rivets do fail, the frame is welded at the key joints and is still workable. I had a broken frame for a three week field op and never knew until we left the field.

Then the lead group uses that 1/2 hr to procure water & wood, setup 3 (if it's just a lone PLT) shallow foxholes for now (if it's just 1 night then move on, otherwise deeper/rain-drained holes) and clear "lanes" of fire, setup hammocks/mosq net/cooking "pit" (smokefree & underground design), etc until your dinner/heavier camping EQ (half of the blankets/tarps/tents/larger pots&pans, coffee, soap & other luxuries) arrives.

Thanks to my brother I know what an infantryman would have, so if I were to want to buy infantryman gear all I would have to do is ask him about it. But for people NOT in my scenario this video perfectly highlights the kind of gear you should look at.

The half size down on boots is usually good advice on any shoes. Assuming they aren't TOO small, they will hug your feet very well after break in.

Great advice here. My realities: I'm to old and broken to ever operate on a true infantryman level, I have deep very capable in my life but at best a 50 lb pack was my limit, 35 lb is my current target excluding weapons/ammo, most equipment will be available in my vehicles, I would have to depend on stealth and ingenuity to be successful. I know what I used to be able to do, this helps assess what I am up against. Work on what you can, but be painfully honest with yourself.

Thank you! This video was really informative. I’ve had a big pack sitting in the garage for years now. I got a lot of work to do now. Please keep these types of videos coming.

Great video overall. There's very little presented that I disagree with. I will make a few comments though. An infantryman is not a survivalist, so he needs support. An infantryman is part of a unit that needs to be able to provide it. Medical, transportation, rations, etc. You depend on that unit to survive. Think thorugh how to tier equipment throughout your combat kit, ruck, and resupply bags to live in the field long term. You will not usually have room for everything shown in this video in your rucksack. You will need to carry team gear in your rucksack instead. Ammo for crew served weapons, commo batteries, anti-tank rounds, mines, medical supplies, and special mission equipment like ropes, grappling hooks, breaching charges, blasting caps, etc. MRE's need to be stripped down to just the main big calorie servings and taped up to make them half their size and weight. Bulky comfort items like sleeping bags and extra clothes (except socks in the top flap) are the first things to go. A wool sweater, rain gear, woobie, poncho and body heat can keep you warm at night in most areas most of the year. You cannot fight with a ruck on your back however, so you will find yourself separated from your rucksack at times. You must keep everything you need on your kit to survive until you return to it. Radio, ammo, NODS, spare batteries, GPS, IFAK, strobe light, red and white lense flashlights, whistle, knife, multi-tool, water, bug juice, notebook, 550 cord, lighter, mirror, (some) food, etc. Your resupply bag should have extra clothing, personal hygiene supplies, food, snacks, sleeping bag, a deck of cards, a book, anti-diarrhea medicine and other comfort items for use in secure areas. Remember, diarrhea has killed more infantrymen than bullets and when one gets it, everyone has it...

Foot care and blister mitigation is critical. Shoes matter- most don't need boots (heavy and dry slowly). Boots are for frozen, cold environments; most would benefit from 3-season gear. Trail runners are supreme, especially ones with zero-drop (flat sole) like Lone Peaks which helps with back pain under load. Put a hard arch support insert inside to handle heavy loads and you are good to go. The shoe drains quickly and dries fast, and the tactile feel of train runners is good for moving fast and feeling ground under foot. To mitigate blisters, wear Injiji toe socks. Use leukotape on hot spots before they become a problem; leukotape stays on even after days of moisture exposure. And of course, change your socks often during down time. Apply a beeswax ointment to your feet at night to keep fungus at bay and to speed healing of cuts and broken skin.

Really good breakdown of necessary gear. Thanks.
