I’ve replaced canteens with a Grayl Geopress and Camelbak. Great rig

Ok I just recently got one. I like it. Versatile. Good presentation.

Let me tell you something. When I was in the 82d we had Alice LBE's and they worked great for tactical combat. This rig is 10x better than the Alice LBE, soooo, the LBE would be great for tactical ops. You're carrying a lot of crap that's not needed for tactical ops. Just sayin....

Christ is King

1. Plain months in advance so people can get time off 2. A bunch of people say they're gonna show up 3. Everyone flakes 2 days before 4. ??? 5. Profit

What watch you rocking bro?

As someone currently in socom and probably transitioning to civi life soon, I found this video helpful for starting a group. Especially for the uniform situation lol

Have you thought about revisiting belt kit for training and evaluation? I can see it’s garnering more discussion in 2024 again. I think there is space/development for modernized LBE that can mesh better with GWOT tech advancements. Really if a company can develop belt kit that can pair with plate carriers and US (longer shaped) Ruckpacks, they would have a hit. I like Adam from Spiritus Systems idea of keeping your buttpack type stuff in a dry bag that you can grab and transfer to a ruck when you need that extra space.

No IFAK?

Great Channel, just found you, subscribed. Viewpoint from a 35yr Army Spec Ops combat vet (Iraq/Afghan, Other) Panama, Jungle School. The Point of the Split Rig style (Velocity Jungle, Nixieworks) is primarily for Foot Jungle Patrolling long or short and Sniper Ops where will be in prone. The point is that chest rigs or anything covering chest and back will overheat you almost immediately in the jungle, and you CANNOT carry enough water to compensate for the amount of sweating. This is basically a modern Korea, Vietnam era uaed thru 70's 80's 90's LBE. For Snipers the ability to unbuckle and push the rig to left and right is obvious to go as prone as possible. While a Chest Rig CAN be worn, you'd have to carry more weight in water than Ammo. Again this would not be a primary choice for missions where your riding Heloing up to Objective to assault /raid on compounds, structures or vehicle ops. Its for longer Foot Patrolling in Hot Humid Environments where your not getting resupplied for awhile, if at all. So also like a SHTF grid down homestead community defense scenario. Like someone else mentioned, the GWOT days of in and out with 4 mags and a snickers bar are over then or in the Pacific island hopping. (If driving, you will obviously have to remove it. So if you are kitting out for Alaska, Canada, Redoubt it's probably not a priority purchase. If in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama central/south America, maybe more so.

Looks more like a 48-72hr kit

8:44 If you are limited to owning only one gun, then by all means, put a light on it. Weapon mounted lights are great for law enforcement/military or home defense, where searching in the dark, for threats, is a possibility. They also provide a free hand. For personal defense/EDC, they're not necessary. In a personal defense situation, you see your threat, and then you draw. You are sure of your target. You're not looking for trouble with your light. Don't use your weapon mounted light as a traditional flashing.

bro the audio is horrible

I went from a Polymer80, to a Makarov, to G26, to a G17. Now, i carry a G34 w/Acro P2 & Streamlight TLR1HL. I found smaller built pistols to have bad recoil, capacity limitations, etc. For many, this is a lot of pistol. For me, i want to give myself the greatest advantage over any potential adversaries. A pistol to a civilian is what a rifle is to an infantryman. I wanted my G34 to be and act as my primary. (Similar concept to SOCOM wanting the MK23).

Great info for someone looking to build out their capabilities. Keep it up brotha!

Headless horseman reviews

I sling a p365 and a p10c. I've had the p10c for a loooooooong time, used to shoot competitions with it. I think thats the best way to test your setups. I used to cc it, but unless I'm going to the city (i live 90 miles from an interstate) I generally just carry the 365 around our tiny town and at Mass. Surefire on the CZ, tlr7sub on the 365.

When talking about printing in concealed carry the grip is usually the the problem. When running battle rattle the grip is usually what gets caught up on things. This is why I prefer the G19 length grip with a G17 length slide.They don't make that. So, you have to do what I did and make a G17s(short), by chopping the grip length. This gives you the longer sight radius which helps to more accurately align the sights, and higher muzzle velocity (MV). MV is about 70 feet per second faster than a G43 and 40fps than G19. Some guys like running the longer lights because the light face acts as a standoff and prevents the slide from going out of battery when pressed up against a threat.

Excellent timing on this episode. Thanks for this content.

Belt kits are great for warm, humid conditions, such as jungles. Part of the reason why the Brits still has the PLCE is because jungle fighting is still part of their basic training. This is where belt kits really shine. In hot and humid areas, a chest rig isn't going to allow your chest to dump out excess heat.

GOAT’d episode honestly

Babe wake up Its 1 in the morning and Longhouse dropped a new episode.

Please think the electronic crap and your compass in the same bag. Compass is always in its own space Away from metallic anything that will De-magnetize your compass. Same for taking a compass bearing under the power lines . Thanks for the review.

Pine is lying, I know he's never seen Platoon

i really like hte background ambience music type thing

Great video

these frames were deigned to be worn over an IOTV with plates in them. In my experience, these things SUCK when you have to take them long distances. I like the idea of the medium ruck, but the frame makes it hard to wear long term, the waist belt makes it impossible to wear with a gun belt, and to fully maximize the pack you need to add sustainment pouches to the sides which will widen the profile but make the bag much more functional.

Ah been listening to the podcast for a little over a year and unconsciously found the yt channel too

I’d get yourself a 1/2”x6” ferro rod and just use the spine of your knife, rest that on your foot so the rod doesn’t move and you can get more accurate spark throws. Plus the longer ferro rod will let you get more sparks per pull. At 6” it’s still pretty small that can go in just about any location on your kit.

Somebody is always reinventing the wheel. I have the same capability with my Alice web gear. It worked in 'Nam, it still works today.

How is that antenna working with a water bladder installed in front of it? I didn’t get reception with a water bladder.

Pro tip: Get a wood stove and a house with no other source of heat so you have to learn how to build fires so you dont freeze to death. Bonus points if you have a wife and children to keep warm.

What I’m seeing here is a good set up to augment my chest rig, my chest rig should have things on it to save life or take life, my belt kit is for me to plus up/survive for 24hrs, and my pack is for 72+, all of this depends on the system of logistics backing you up, do what your pay grade can handle, but we aren’t all preparing for a situation where we are going to step off a classified helicopter to kill bin Laden and will be back to eat shitty chow hall chicken wings by that night. At least we shouldn’t be. Better to have and not need it I guess.

A lot of LARPers not understanding the entire point of this kit in these comments 😂

Interesting to see someone choose to wear armor while traversing that kind of terrain for that kind of distance. Just about everyone is all about traveling light with a chest rig when rucking.

Do you think a medium alice pack would fit on a MR nice frame?

So it seems like your main issue is that you’re not intending to be using it as designed purpose- maybe LBE style equipment with a more modular focus would be a better fit Great piece of content 10/10

I think you hit it on the head brother, I’ve never understood the nixieworks. It’s definitely cool and high quality. But it just eliminates the use of any rucksack. And in anything that’s tactical and real…you’re probably going to want and need a rucksack. I have belt kit, and I have chest rigs, and I like my belt kit a lot. But it sits much lower on my waist how most belt kit does. The LFR just has that massive monster buttpack that makes things difficult.

I'm currently trying this and having two issues: the tops of the u frame are inclined to pop through the top of the alice frame pocket and the bag bulges directly into my back when packed to capacity without the frame cross pieces. Have you experienced this?

Based and pringles can pilled

interesting, I never thought of ayyyyys as a way to get people who tend to be atheists to get interested in the occult.

For the LFR to work you need the proper outdoor gear to go with it. Read the nixieworks blog but you gotta embrace the ultralight backer mindset as far as sleep system and food go.

I think people tend to miss the point of the LFR. The LFR is not intended to be an "assault" beltkit. I would classify something like the VS Jungle Rig as an "assault" belt kit. The LFR is interesting because its tailored specifically towards (what i would call) civilian activities. Its not for taking and holding ground, HS,LD raids, or multi-day firefights. Its meant to optimize the extended low-profile, on-foot mobility of small groups of people who don't have robust logistical, transportation, or support elements in place during a shtf/wrol situation. Something like "Hey, jim bob just called/radioed -- he saw some suspicious activity on his farm. Hopefully its nothing, but it could also be something, so im going to grab my LFR with 2-3 days worth of sustainment supplies and enough ammo to deal with any potential cattle rustlers/bandits, and walk/bike/ride/drive on over to help him and his son secure their property. Ideally im back before nightfall, but if im not ill be able to sustain myself for a realistic length of time."

The British Army already solved this with their PLCE system which is a better LBE rig that provides padded lumbar support and pouches that don't bounce when you run. You can get them used, new or custom built from companies like Kitmonster, Dixie Corner or JayJays. The American stuff like the Mayflower jungle rig is way too expensive.

Any chance you could show it being worn to get a better idea of the end result? Thanks, and thanks for taking the time to make this video!

what's the background music?

What motorola radio do you use and do you recommend it?

Nice rig. I love the podcast 👍🏼

Why do you guys hate Jews
