FYI; 22 lr standard velocity is not subsonic

I enjoyed the video. Thanks again

Looks like a great setup for mounted troops in a vehicle. But if you’re an old school ground pounder leg. I think all that weight out front would cause back pain and make it hard for getting low in the prone position. And forget low crawling

This has been my setup for years...shedding plates increases your ability to haul ass across a sketchy AO.

Another good, practical and realistic video. Thank you

Which mag pouches are on your chest right now

Thanks for the shout out my friend. I agree on carrier over slick plates. Offers the most versatility.

Can you lay flat like that? Seriously trying to shoot from prone and get a good accurate fixed position gonna b damn near impossible with that setup you got. Gonna b rolling back and forth on it. Getting flat matters lol

It should go without saying that the way plate carriers and cheat rigs carry the weight of gear, it can make one a bit top heavy. Thus, getting out and training to get used to wearing it, including moving up and down the landscaping is just as important as acquiring and assembling.

This is my method also Michael. I have light armor that can be worn separately, with chest rigs (for each long gun) that fit over it or without it.

👍👍👍

I aint wearing ANYTHING that holds my chest 4" off of the ground when I"m prone! eff that noise. You dont want to be and dont have to be out and about in daylight if shtf, guys. You cant be making noise or showing a light at night, either. So you need some sort of night vision, a silencer and at least soft armor. the biggest threat will come from guys with silenced 22's, they'll still have some ammo and you wont hear a silenced, subsonic 22, bolt held shut, from 50 FEET away. It's still lethal at 125 m. too. Take such a hit and you'll be a walking dead man, because of the infection. You'll go down in less than a day from the fever and you'll never get up again.

Bear nation in the house. Nice rig PNW brother.

Классный честриг всё так удобно расположены, чтобы все были под рукой в нужном месте.

Good video mike ty

Pro Tip: Put Super Glue in your snaps. It makes them extremely difficult to pop off. Good for when you're running. Had my 5.11 pistol mags pop right off. Super glued, perfection.

Take any gun and then go hide stay hidden and tell no one if you have cause to go out to get supplies your probably not gonna make it .

I got a Condor chest rig and it'll work great for me. Thanks for the reviews.

Solid knowledge transfer brother....

What are your thoughts on the Tactical assault panel? I've always been one to prefer a minimum of 10 magazines and for $40 used surplus it seems to be ideal.

Good video, keeping it simple

I like this channel, no bs, no tuff guy crap. Helpful, good content, good attitude, a guy I'd like as my neighbor. Being stuck behind enemy lines in Commiefornia... I need a good neighbor !!!

I’m taking a 12gauge pump. Winchester 94, and an AR10 in 308.

Good video man, curious questions, what plates ya run, side plates also, with that and your rig, besides bulky, what's all that weigh?

I'm looking at the Condor Assault chest rig. 6 mag pockets plus mole. And there are pack options. I have a plate carrier, LBE and LBV. And this one weird setup. That I got off ebay. Wide belt with straps. And 6 double mag pouches.

We value your knowledge and experience the gear is just a little bonus! Semper fi Brother

Options!

Afternoon Michael. Love having options, to be able to change as situations change. Good video.

Too bulky for me

No music needed

Good afternoon, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

Happy Friday brother.... Cheers from Alberta!

Fair warning to potential American "Guerilla" soldiers. 1st and foremost, regardless of what you wear, you can't beat the technology that the military and US government possess. Second you can never be 100% sure that the citizen you pass on the street won't immediately double tap you in the face and then call the authorities. Some of us want nothing but the right and ability to move through our day to day lives without the fear of so called "patriots" disrupting our lives. In other words, it's not just the government, military and law enforcement you'll have to contend with. You'll also be facing a whole lot of citizens with zero tolerance for your BS. And guess what? We won't be decked out for war! We will be the ones just going about our daily lives and you'll have no clue who we are until it's too late.

Opinions are like bungholes… everybody has one. I live in a sparsely populated area (2 people per square mile) of the Northern Rockies. My arsenal is 30-06 heavy… M1 Garands and 1903/A3. Lots of ammunition and spare parts. Also plenty of .22 and .22WMR firearms and ammunition in abundance. Several 12 gauge riot-type guns with deep stock of various game loads and 00 buck. A few Mini14’s and one AR type in .223/5.56. A couple M96 Swedish Mausers. Two M1A clones built from Polytech receivers by Fulton Armory. One long range rifle… Savage 22-250 with Nightforce optics. My philosophy is stick to commonality and ease of maintenance.

what part of WA are you in?

You do you! The world is shitty and will only get worse. I’m over 60 now and have heard and seen more BS than I knew existed as a young 18 year old soldier. The world hasn’t gone boom, the seas haven’t risen, crops still grow and babies are still born. Do the best you can and that all that matters.

5.56 is a great round for beginners and small, lightweight people(most, but not all, women). A real rifle is a .308. Need to carry less ammo and fewer mags. One hit, one stop. Several lightweight .308 variants out there. Both SCAR 17 and POF Revolution/ Rogue have both lightweight and low recoil. .308 is relatively cheap, especially since lower round counts to be purchased. Can do anything from cqb to 800 yard shots. Not so much for rabbits! That is what the backup .22 or .38 pistol in your pocket is for!

what a crock. humans survived for millennia with nothing but flakes of stones. then with just bronze and iron knives for thousands of years, then simple steel butcher knifes for centuries.

speaking in caliberease. 00 buck = agreed 100%, 223 = are you in, .06 = spot on, 22 = slim chance, 380 = not quite, 9mm - well maybe, 45 = for dam sure

A well thought out video; logical, rational, sensible. I don’t entirely agree, however. My own perspective is not that of a prepper enthusiast, but rather, a 63-year-old peacetime US Army infantry vet from the 1980s who’s been shooting since the age of seven. If you are talking about the best choice for a SHTF rifle for the “average person”, my recommendation would be a good AK pattern rifle, standard 16” barrel length, in 7.62x39mm. I personally have both an AR and an AK, but if I have to participate in the defense of my subdivision, I’m reaching for the AK first, and I submit that for most people who want to have something to address that scenario, the AK is the best choice. Two main reasons for this: - Most people live in suburban or urban environments. Chances are pretty high that in those areas, no one is going to be engaging past 200 yards. Within that range, the 7.62x39mm is a better fighting cartridge in terms of penetration, knock down power, prompt lethality. Now, you go to significantly greater distances, 300 yards, 400 yards, the 5.56 NATO is more efficient and holds up better in terms of energy and trajectory, especially out of a 20” barrel, but the vast majority of people are never going to be shooting that far so it doesn’t matter in real world terms. For the engagement envelope most people would face, 7.62x39mm is a punchier, deadlier round. - Then there’s ease of maintenance. This is especially important for people who don’t have that much experience with firearms, who are new to the idea of having a defensive carbine. ARs are fun to shoot and easy to shoot accurately, which are obviously advantages, but they are more demanding of maintenance and don’t take kindly to neglect. Field stripping, cleaning, and putting back together an AK will be a lot less intimidating to a relatively new shooter, and if he or she goes a while without cleaning it, no big deal. I would add that even in the environment you are in, there in the hill country of Washington state, you might be better served by an AK. I can see you’ve got a lot of brush, twigs, etc. to deal with out there, which has been known to distract the flight path of light high velocity 5.56 projectiles on the way to their targets. 7.62x39mm just punches through that stuff. Both Paul Harrell - who is more of an AR guy - and that Rob Ski fellow at AKOU have done videos demonstrating this fact. I’m not saying the AK has it all over the AR; the AR definitely has advantages of its own. But for the average person in most places in the US, if they are new to military-style semiautomatic rifles and are getting their first one, I would say the AK is a better way to go.

SOS bars are pretty good i ate a pack recently to try them out as snacks at work. I keep them in my bugout bag and my car.

Never really cared for any of the ration bars however, found a way to consume them by breaking it up and mixing with water to make a slurry type drink. Easier to consume than just chomping on them.

Great video! I didn't even know about these. I will add some to my preps. Thanks!

My opinion is the "minimum" needed is: Knife Pistol TQ Flashlight Whistle Water bottle Good shoes and socks After that, everything is a "nice to have." Or METT-TC.

so these items are great, they will last a long time, problem is , its not practical, you are paying for the shelf life stability , and way to expensive for extra food, when it says 67 servings it means small amount of food, it dont mean 6 meals it means 3 of those servings wil be for a meal....

Rations was also a controlled amount of food, for example when i was overseas we were rationed only so much food, cigarettes', or alcohol, it was rationed

Canned Tuna,Chicken,tomatoes, mixed vegetables, potatoes, and sardines. For dried food. Beef jerky, granola, nature valley bars, dried fruit. Buy and make your own survival food Or even better. Grow and make your own food. Look into and study canning techniques.

We bought a camper stove from a old camper and built a cabinet around it so it was portable...that way, we can cook and bake with it too...We have some food that can be eaten right out and other foods that can be cooked.....mostly, we focused on meats first.

Its all BS.
