72 Hour Load Bearing Gear 3/3

[@hectorrespeto]

I've watched a lot of these types of videos. I myself am prepared. This guy knows his stuff!! Great job PackRat!! Keep it up!!

[@wildlifeed]

I love the fact that this "pack" is so adaptable!! very good info!! thanks, ED

[@greymajickjedi]

Ah-ha! A Tri-fold antrenching tool! Sharpened, in case. Took me awhile, but i finally thought of something he omitted. Probably didn't want the extra weight. But it is included in the U.S. Military fighting load, and with good reason. It can be everything from a latrine-maker, to a hammer, a hatchet, a paddle, even a personal defence tool. Don't bugout without one! o.~

[@PackRat556]

Sounds like a great kit is already shaping up! Good luck with it!

[@johnboysmeg]

just subscribed to your channel and already got a shed load of good advice....I'm a beginner with the whole survival scenario and you have given me a huge head start... thank you

[@Quadmachine0]

I like the tape stick idea, very useful for multiple types of tape.

[@ManLand]

Absolutely a very informative series. Very educational.

[@Thermopylae2007]

A thoughtful presentation. My current 72 hour setup seems unreasonably heavy so I'm tempted to try adding an extra butt pack or some pouches to my webbing to see whether or not that might provide a more practical alternative. This gives me lots of ideas.

[@PackRat556]

Thank you! I personally enjoy the flexibility that military style web gear has to offer. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@wsrpotg]

Nice setup! I think the only thing I would add is perhaps a compact Bivy sack, or a lightweight hammock or even a small tent. You could even put a secong tarp on there. Point is this...even for 3 days(72 hrs) you'll want a portable shelter. Yes you have the poncho but you could attach another item as I mentioned before to the bottom. Just a thought. Again, nice work on that kit!!

[@PackRat556]

It is at home currently but sometimes it may ride along depending on what else I may be carrying that day. Thanks for the support!

[@ronaldrose7593]

As always, a GREAT, very informative video. Keep up the good work. God bless you my friend. Take care.

[@PackRat556]

A sincere thank you sir. I don't know that it is perfect, but it is adaptable and customizable for each individuals needs. I appreciate your suggestions, all good items to have. I appreciate your compliment and interest. Take Care!

[@PackRat556]

Thank you! That's the great thing about this type of system, you can customize it to you own needs. Good luck with it.

[@holdmyhandtv]

@holdmyhandtv And how did you add your "compact survival kit"? It has molle, but it's an ALICE belt?

[@Patriotalliance]

Excellent system, enjoyed the series - Cheers

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

great series on these 3 vids. awsome channel

[@albertclark8980]

Forgive me if I missed it, I didn't notice a tourniquet or rather any significant way to stop hemorrhaging. There are some light weight and compact resolutions to that, check out the RAT(Rapid Application Tourniquet) which can be easily applied single handedly. Tourniquets are the single most effective life preserver in hostile or combat like environments, or even if you simply cut yourself badly. Other than that I think your kit covers mostly all other basics of survival and evasion. Good luck!

[@PackRat556]

Thanks, I appreciate the support. Take Care.

[@PackRat556]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching! 5 stars from you is an honor!

[@woodlandcammo27]

Damnit! You were 2 steps ahead of me! LOL . I have a .22 on mine and was going to say that you could put a water bladder on the harness but nevermind now !lol

[@kanukster]

Nice series. Can't add much more than what was commented on except one aspect. More water capability and remember, when you decide to use separate containers or preformed, one has a tendency to find non essential items to fill the container. Think hard as to what can be reduced or eliminated all together.

[@Skills2survive]

Great Set Up!! Great Series of Videos!!

[@eipi5173]

i would add some large plastic bags for makeshift bivvy, mattress (leaf) to keep you off the ground & water carrier etc light and compact Gr8 vid!

[@relicright]

once again great kit. wanted to suggest using a headlamp instead of a maglight for being hands free and a wider variety of intensities. being waterproof up to 1 meter. for $35 you can get a high/low headlamp that will burn over 100hrs on 3 AAA batteries. great video.

[@holdmyhandtv]

What's the name/model of your holster?

[@PackRat556]

Awesome! Thanks for making one of mine a favorite! I appreciate it!

[@PackRat556]

I like to carry several types of tape, it always seems to come in handy. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@JUNIORK1974]

Good video! The only thing I would set up different is put the pistol reloads on your weak side- it is a more natural movement that way. Good stuff-I love that Glock field knife,I have one myself.

[@amrasurvivalchannel2708]

nice video love the lbe system thanks for sharing always learning

[@PackRat556]

It's there, in the compact survival kit. I think I mention it in that segment, but to see the details, check the compact survival kit videos. Thanks for watching!

[@PackRat556]

Good suggestions! I have all of these things in one kit or another. Just not together in this setup. They would be welcome additions.

[@PackRat556]

I understand your feeling. If given the choice I'll take those items but they are comforts, not essentials. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@rjostes]

Well done. Put your mags on the weak hand side. Add a canteen stove and eliminate the esbit stove, it'll save some room.

[@phrankus2009]

Two essential qualities of the "Compact Survival Kit" ... *MINE* is a waterproof dry box, with a caribiner lanyad AND It fits in a cargo pocket ... even in the hip pocket of jeans. It is VERY important to keep the whole kit dry and that it is VERY portable.

[@denimal07]

I really like this vid, and I have watched it multiple times. However, I wish you would list the brands and where you bought or procured your gear as others have mentioned. That would be a big help. But your set up is well thought out and inspires me. Analytical Survival on KZbin also has a great LBE set up and a well detailed video. Thanks.

[@snaponjohn100]

Man, I love your channel!!!

[@PackRat556]

This is just a US military pistol belt. You can find them fairly easy and they are not very expensive at all. Thanks for watching and for your support.

[@chillaxitsdylan]

awesome vids i watched them all, one thing that i think you should add is a rolly polly folding dump pouch by maxpedition in case you find usefull items along the trail

[@MountainManWiggie]

NIce set up man.. If there was one thing I miss from the military its the LBE. One suggestion though.. your ammo should be on the opposite side of your firearm. It makes it easier for faster reloads.. (If needed)

[@PackRat556]

Definitely. If I thought I was going to be out for more than 24 hours, the additional water in the bladder system will be most welcomed. Thanks for watching!

[@usarmypat]

I would add a folding ammo dump pouch. This gives you a pouch that is easy to place on your belt and to put empty magazines or other items found on the “trail”.

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

great video, I also have a similar system, I have mine geared equally as an urban combat battle belt and urban survival system. I think it's a great piece of equipment to have in case of a situation where you have to " bug-in" but might need to hit the streets for supplies ie. water, food, help someone, anything where you would need to leave the safety of your home but want to be prepared for anything. Hope people will do the same and be prepared. thanks for sharing

[@raymondhollingsworth3643]

Not a bad setup. The only thing I would change is the Suspenders. I perfer the H suspenders instead of the Y type. It distrubits the load better for me. YMMV.

[@Lord_RavnFar_Tannerwise]

Plus with the H suspenders you can take an extra buttpack remove the A.l.i.c.e clips and once your suspenders are adjusted un clip them from the belt and loop the straps through the alice clip slots on the back of the butt pack slide it up and either clip the buttpacks D rings to the rear gear clips or if its an H set that doesnt have the rear gear clips you can tie it off with 550 cord to the holes in the strap adjusters for a small ruck! Athough after the fact id also add a vietnam jungle style med kit to the straps below that at the small of the back.

[@ppspsd]

Watched your vid series again ! Im all about the gear , this is the same type of load out that I use and have used it for years , and wouldnt change it for the world !! If I my , I would like to make one suggestion , use black zip ties to back up the metal alice keepers they can fail !! Get the wide ones though , you will have to cut them down once installed ,but its worth not losing a piece of gear that could save your life !! Just trying to be helpfull !!OUT!!

[@oneraindog]

dont want to take anything away from this vid. very well done and very informative. but i want to know more about your shelter provisions. all i really saw was the tarp and the space blanket. i dont know what the climate is like in your area but for the sake of argument lets say its getting down toward freezing. will the contents of your pack be enough or would you plan on building debris shelters in that situation?

[@zionburner]

interesting stuff. very combat oriented i think. Nice nice review of it.

[@joeldierwechter6877]

I would recommend getting a larger canteen holder like the Marine corp coyote brown one that I have it wont match and it is a molle pouch but I can hold both my canteen and canteen cup so I can both boil my water and the canteen cup helps with keeping our water cold

[@offramp100]

Good kit, if it were me I'd find room for a small container of foot powder, good to have for long hikes. Also a non-lethal defensive option like bear spray & some heavy duty long zip ties to use as handcuffs

[@PackRat556]

Not exactly, I had a collapsible 5qt military canteen in that pack. It doesn't have a straw tube or bite valve on it, just a threaded cap.

[@simezra]

great sereis videos man exelent work as allways thank you,

[@CoulterTravel]

F**king lovely kit mate! Like it a lot!!

[@PackRat556]

I have eaten rabbit before, and although I don't particularly like it, it is a source of protein and calories which can provide you with energy in the field. If this is what is available, it is well worth eating.

[@cjmedina28]

This is a great vid PackRat556, I think this would be great for day hikes as well as survival! I think your set up is great but I have a few questions. Where did you get the holster and how does it fit you and your side arm? I have found a few sites where I can find a few things but where did you find yours?

[@ontheedge4life]

just made my own tape stick. great job!

[@nmhornd]

Could you please add another vid say what particular items are shown? I would like to know what drop leg holster you have and what knife you have.

[@buggymak]

very nice video man and thanks for the tips

[@superRoot]

Thanks for the video PackRat556. What kind of pouch are you using for your survival kit? I like how it is very organized.

[@hautala88]

very interesting videos, makes me wanna do this myself 5/5

[@Wabaanimkii]

I'll second the headlamp, than get a fenix light and some glowsticks. I'd have a pouch specificly for med supplies, than fire starting, than electronic gear( iPod,GPS, phone) my buttpack is a condor high space one so I have more comfort space. My weapon of choice would be the glock 31 because it's a multiple role weapon(deer,bear,people) and 17 rds of 357sig isn't something to doubt.

[@denimal07]

Also, where have you been Packrat? I haven't seen a new vid posted in months!

[@PackRat556]

Good suggestion. Thanks!

[@xPumaFangx]

Cons in order. You might want to think about a sleeping system that is a little bit better then just your poncho. A sleeping bag with a pad for example. It would add to your weight. But that more comfortable sleep really helps. A filter water purification. Like a sawyer squeeze. The time and resources you can save would be grand. Bring salt. Like enough to put in a salt shaker. Maybe a hand saw tool of some sort. I think you might have the saw. You just did not show it. Pros in order I think you thought of most of the stuff I would put in a 72 hour bag. I wondered about your food options but when I saw what was in the black pack. I thought ya no worries. The 1 quart is fine on water. I believe that because you are setting this up for in your area. So you plan on being around water. Fishing is good enough. If you want go for snares. But at the same time if you spend all day fishing you just lost 1 day in your 72 hour pack. Fish are active once, if your lucky twice, a day. So fishing helps but the added time needed to catch some fish. Would make it a gamble. So if you went in a situation where you are going to fish all day. It might be more ideal to also trap as well. That would increase your odds of catching some food if you spend all day. Do not go for the .22 lr firearm. It might be wiser to learn about wild edibles instead. My reason for that is that small game, hides. So you might see them. But odds are you won't. Closing statement I know you put a lot of thought into the video. It shows and it is a good set up. It makes me wonder. If you have already learned about. The things I talked about above. I hope what I have said, helps.

[@brucerleech]

nice BOB well thought out

[@gijr2003]

US military survival knife??? Have you thought about using M1967 suspenders so you can clip another buttpack on as a backpack or the poncho holder?

[@SOADLUV]

great LBE what kind of belt are u using i cant seem to find a belt thats not to expensive what is keeping ur belt/shoulder harness intact also all ur pouches what keeping it intact to ur belt(ALICE clips moole webing) so thats its not sliding all over the belt is this all black hawk model bands what ur cost all together just the packs/belts/shoulder/harness i trying to make 1 of these i have everything except the belt i cant seem to find 1 where did u buy all this website/store

[@PackRat556]

Hey thanks, I appreciate that!

[@rodneymeasows8347]

Add two Molle Nalgene bottle / covers to set up more storage and better water / food prep possibilities

[@PackRat556]

Thanks for watching!

[@M44hk]

haha I love the intro music :P its so damn catchy :P

[@Jalandarah]

just curious, was there a particular reason you chose the Y harness and pistol belt, or was it just for cost?

[@austinmichael406]

Those molle pouches move a lot or their or did you die it down.

[@lowpez55]

You think you can make a list of this video with out the contents? I'm having a hard time putting a load bearing b

[@PackRat556]

Thank You!

[@theterriblerabbitofdeath]

maybe switching the hand gun for a 410 give you more option on ammo , but less compact .

[@PackRat556]

As the kit is shown in this video, it weighs exactly 17.5 pounds.

[@kingkong_1959]

good video

[@stelthy100]

Good Videos thanks

[@PackRat556]

That's no problem, one slip and that mag pouch will slip right off. I could just remove the mags and stuff two granola bars in that pouch instead LOL!

[@greymajickjedi]

He scarcely missed a trick! i personally, value a multitool over any other blade for wilderness/urban survival/preparedness, but that's me. i also would've just gotten it in in one video. But PackRat is the ONLY other prepper i've ever seen that shares my endorcement of energy/shots. my G.O.O.D. bag has several. It may seem frivolous, but in a real SHTF situation, you'll need every edge you can get. Especially when quickly de-assing the area is a priority.

[@hamptonify]

how much does all of your packs weigh when put on yourself

[@ryanjcus]

AWESOME MAN! *****

[@Ficktao]

Unless your area always has the same moderately mild wheather, I didn't see any clothes in your kit (except for the sox and underwear). Wouldn't you need some layers?

[@hammocksponge3994]

Well thought through. Way to go Rat.

[@ghostrounds]

good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zachoverstreet5440]

Should add a small pair of simple Binos

[@rstora01]

thanks man!

[@ihateforigners]

Whats the song in the beginning?

[@rstora01]

how much does the LBG weigh?

[@PackRat556]

You know what they say about great minds...lol

[@waverunnertree]

would u sell it

[@RomeoTwoSix]

@theGAPster Lol. Superfluous isn't superfluous when you think about it :3

[@lowpez55]
