where did you carry your 40MM grenades at?
5 HEDP rounds were on my chest below my chin.
What the difference between this and the cpc or is it the same.
Without getting too much into it. All models are built for different purposes. Go on their website and check out their products and look under vest. Its lightweight to full protection with soft and hard armor.
10 years on this video is coming up soon. Yes I still have it. There is a reason why SOCOM and multiple units and agency's issues it. It was a fun video to do when I was bored in between missions on my 5th and last combat tour of my military career. I am practicing editing to start making more videos as I am retired from Law Enforcement and the Army. I will be showcasing all my hobbies for now from the things I love including tactical gear where this all started. Thanks for sticking around 10 years.
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.
I cant remember the brand name, it was issued to the unit. It worked well. Surefire makes one called MR11
Thank you for what you do . Great video
Thanks for your service. Do you remember what ESBI size you were using (6x6 or 6x8)?
I think it was the 6x6
Do you remember the name/brand of the side plates pouch manufacturer?
That tour, 99lbs full load out.
Excessive amount of magazines. I fuck with that. Much love from Europe.
Your video narration style is excellent, I wish you were still making gear videos. Subscribed if you ever decide to start.
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.
On your vest setup. What do you use to get the mag stacking so you can have more than three mags?
the vest had 3 mag pockets. we just added a 3 mag plackard or like i used the emdem pouch.
40mm just there chillin
Just getting back into KZread, old video but I'll be making more about my life after the Army and Law Enforcement after that 5th and last tour and retirement.
First and foremost thank you for your service. Secondly can you make a break down of exactly what Crye pieces you had on this vest?
Sorry it took so long, life! most pouches I bought due to crappy issued equipment. The Crye is hands down the best in my opinion. I added the 40mm pouch, elevator frag pouch for my m67s, harris radio pouch for MBITR, double mag pouches and m18 smoke pouch from emdom and estac mag pouch.
Talibán today: our Loadout comrade
I know, ridiculous what the Biden administration did. We risked our lives over there for nothing!
The algorithm strikes again.
Just getting back into youtube again after long brake. funny how that works. Now you know how good this vest really is after all these years.
Why did you go with the blast belt rather than the avs belt
Sorry for the long wait, just getting back into youtube. Blast belt is wider and helps with distributing weight. It also has 3a soft body armor built into it. On patrol thats just extra protection and it was very comfortable.
Imagine being in a unit that doesn’t make you wear gen 2 iotvs with soft armor still. Can’t be me 🥲
Sorry for the late response. Im finually getting back into youtube. Yes we were very fortunate that we had a great supply Sgt to get us great equipment. The perks of a tear 1 reserve unit lol!
Are you able to use the issued side plates with that? This looks like a awesome set up. Can you list off the things you used to put together the best so Incan look them up? Looks awesome
Sorry for the long wait. Im just getting back into youtube. Yes the issued side plates were used as it was mandatory. look into Emdom usa and estac
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?
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.
Stupid to have all your mags on the front of the carrier because you can’t lay down flat. There’s a reason special operations and special forces don’t do that. Keep 3 on the front and the rest on the sides.
We have to carry a minimum of 10 magazines for sustained firefights. You can blow threw the standard 6 mags in no time. Once your out of ammo its just a peice of metal against the enemy. The whole too much in the front is basement warriors. My buddies (Special Ops guys) will agree with me.
Really still waiting for new and update videos. Hope you decide to make some!
Bought new gopro brother! Soon, learning to edit videos as we speak. can't afford to pay for editing like Grand Thumb does.
@@chicopopo24 Brother, this notification made my day. I’ve been watching your videos since highschool, and I’m so happy to see you’re back. Also, I have a background in video editing, so if you need any help with that I’d be more than happy to. Cheers!
@@harris3295 If your ever in Saint Petersburg Florida hit me up for a drink.
I bet this dude hates Steelers
who makes your mag pouches?
They look to be Emdom Double M4 mag pouch.
This looks heavy as fuck
I appreciate a video from a soldier and not an airsofter.
Dammit I can't remember how I wound up here but damn do I not regret it. Hooah!
I’ve been thinking about switching to avs. Jpc’s are cool and all... but they don’t feel cool if you have cheap heavy ass level iv plates.
Great video and review , but more importantly thank you for your service . How you doing ?
Thanks for asking! Long time. On that 5th and last tour I was reinjured and spent 1.5 years on medical for surgeries and physical therapy, 2nd divorce and forced to retire from the Army Reserves after 25+yrs and 20 + yrs Law Enforcement. I now train service dogs for our warriors facebook.com/AlwaysAWarriorK9/ check us out! If your ever in Saint Petersburg Fl hit me up!
Literally love everything about this. Especially when he tosses the tricked out M4+203 aside like it’s such a nuisance
Getting back into KZread about what I do after my retirement. Just sitting here reading all the old comments, reminds me of Grand Thumb.
I'm 6 years late but stay safe
Im 3 years late, Retired after that 5th and last tour. Train service dogs for our warriors now. follow us. Finally getting back into KZread with my hobbies and dogs. facebook.com/AlwaysAWarriorK9/
Can you tell me what is the weight of that tactical plate set up with magazines.
Sorry so late, That setup was 99lbs with weapon belt vest setup. Frags, ammo, armor ect.
Now that is a set not a bunch of crap from wish or Amazon very nice thank you for your service
Sorry so late, Army lost my stuff but I somehow still have all my issued gear after retirement. I wear it every Halloween!
Hey man I wanted to see if you can provide some guidance on sizing with the AVS. I currently wear a medium plate carrier (LBT inc.) and Im wanting to replace it when I get back from deployment. I know with the AVS you can size up or down between the plate bags and the harness. I am 5’11” and 205 lbs with wide back and shoulders but for some reason any sort of large vest fits big on me. Im just wondering if the harness has a lot of wiggle room or “play” to allow a wide range of person sizing? Any advice helps. Thanks.
Hey brother! Im 5'9" 210 lbs, I use Med Plates in Med bags and harness. The Cummerbund is Lrg/X Lrg, Med is too small/short. The harness stretches with laced elastic in the back so its very adjustable. I was issued Lrg at first but was too big. When fitted properly it is snug and stretches' when you breath. Be sure to get the harness pad set as it makes a huge difference in comfort and ventilation. Hope that helps.
Thanks bro I appreciate all of that info. It definitely helped me get a better idea of what I should order. Im sure youre familiar with Crye’s lengthy shipping so I want to try and get sizing right the first time. I think I will probably be going with all the same sizing you have. Thanks again and be safe brotha!
I'd like to build a plate carrier so maybe you can throw me some advice? Basic needs would be front/back & side pouches. Are they 6x6 or 6x9? Then the harness and three band cumber? That should be it? Thanks man!
Sorry so late, just getting back into KZread to catch up on my life after retirement. 6x6, 3 band. There is a reason why the Rangers use AVS and still very popular after all these years. The Army lost my equipment but they seem to have showed up at my house. Only wear it on Halloween now lolo!
Issued gear or your unit let you use personal gear? Asking because I’m about to join
I believe he say he was reserves and because of that he has more liberty when it comes to that but I’m not completely sure
Sorry so late, just getting back into KZread. Yes Reserves, great supply Sgt to order great gear. Company size teir1 element. Strict on personal gear dress right dress. There is a reason why Rangers are issued it and still very popular today. The Army lost my gear but It somehow found its way to me. Only time I wear it is Halloween now after retirement. Did you join? Let me know hows it going.
Great video !
Damn I want to say you are carrying around 80 pounds of gear in the vest alone
Sorry so late. Pretty close, probably why I have back pains today lol! Full loadout on patrol was 99lbs when I jumped on the scale one day before patrol.
What where you in the military that is a really nice plate carrier for a standard infantry soldier.
Ever been deployed and see some Airforce Security Forces wearing cool stuff? Get with supply, tell them to order it and get the commanders ok. Works better if you are in the reserves, better budget for a company then a division. 1st was IOTV, 2nd was KDH Soldier Plate Carrier System. AVS is so much better in every way. Read threw the comments, I go over and over everything and still get the same questions.
Hey man if you are still on this account I have a question for you.
Roger, shoot brother!
@@chicopopo24 What's your MOS, Army I assume?
@@micahhenn9441 Retired now, 13F, 11B, 31B I get asked all the time, check out some of the comments.
Wow! What is the total weight.?? Must be more than 40-45 kg. Along with the gun and belt.
99lbs full combat load. Probably why I have back pains today Lol!
So expensive though..
Holy fuck that’s a lot of shit to carry, thank you for your service sir.
Definitely not a minimalist bugout but good for combat patrols!
Hey man I know this video is old lol but you are the only real world user review it seems like. Did you do any rucking with it? If so how was it?
Went on patrols but with no ruck though. Much more comfortable then the IOTV and issued KDH Soldier Plate Carrier System. This vest is the best IMO. I may do an updated video since I still have it.
Hey man can you make a video with all your kit and exactly what the products are would love to buy a few new bits of kit soon ( plate carrier belt and what not)
Getting new computer and editing software very soon. This channel will be about all my hobbies including gear stuff.
Are you special forces since standard infantry are only issued with IOTV vest or the KDH Soldier System plate carrier unless you bought them
And then, this could of just been recorded in your fucking basement at home...
Your right! except it was your moms basement while she sent me care packages by helicopter!
Je je badass je men badass je je je je badass
I want like this shield how i can get one .im solder in the iraqi army .
How much do you reckon that thing weighed with plates, ammo, and water?
Thank you for your service sir. Much respect. I’m shipping out to basic in January but do you have any wisdom that you can share?
Stay positive and motivated, remember it's going to be a huge mind game designed to break you down and build you back up. If you were ever captured in war they will not be nice to you. Nobody will ever get "it" right and you will get smoked for it. This is to prep you to pass your PT test and get in shape. On your down time, study, joke, laugh and be a team player. Help out your Battle buddies, don't half ass anything. Go the extra mile and push yourself to do better. Last, don't give up, don't ever give up!
Dennis Morida thank you 🙏🏿. I will definitely keep that in mind!
I'm thinking of making another video but have no idea on what to make it on.
Did you end up joining? Hows it going?
Is the crye plate carrier issued to you guys ?
This is an old video, on that tour only 2 squads received the carrier out of a company due to the type of jobs we were assigned to. That was the 3rd issued carrier first being the IOTV and another plate carrier that I can not remember the name.
KDH Soldier Plate Carrier System was the name of the 2nd issued vest.
