ALICE LBE: Best Winter Fighting Gear

In my humble opinion, ALICE LBE is the best option all around for winter fighting in the arctic climates.

I sold my two HK91s, I still shed a tear from time to time. If I ever need cash again a kidney will go before my priced weapons.

[@justsomeguy9700]

An HK?, how much for one of em?

[@Herbymac0811]

ALICE gear is still very good equipment! It’s long lasting, found everywhere, easy to use, and cheap, It can also support a variety of weapon plat forms. I live in western TN so snow ain’t to much of a problem. But heat is and Alice helps to retain no heat and dries fast. I use it to support my FAL.

[@cortex8239]

What mag pouches do you use, universal or standard M16 30 rounder?

[@Herbymac0811]

Montagnard Just standard m16 pouches

[@Herbymac0811]

[@joshuasmith9750]

Great video! If you did want to carry a pistol with this loadout the HK USP with its oversized trigger guard makes a great choice for when you are wearing thick gloves

[@bravo5997]

interesting contribution try the original Flecktarn G3 magazine pouches. you can even open them with very thick gloves and there are also ALICE adapters

[@cowboycowboy9592]

This is great video amigo. I did cold weather training with marines in California mountains. Also training with 10th mountain fort drum and Training in Norway. Learning cold weather fighting is needed if we ever fight in asia.

[@todd2048]

That's why I love the HK USP you can shoot with gloves on most other pistols gloves are a pain it maybe old but still relevant pistol!

[@LucasCarvalho-wp4vx]

Nice G3 rifle, very tough and reliable.

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Back in my day our mag carriers carried 3 30 round magazines not 2

[@scapegoat762]

One problem with using alice mag pouches at the 1 and 11 o'clock positions like that is if you have to go prone. They hold your hips up off the ground, preventing you from getting down low. and also press in on your diaphram, making it more difficult to breathe.

[@theintrovertedcalifornian5047]

Not a problem if you have a drill seargant yelling at you while crawling under some wire lol

[@doitriteak]

When those mags physically prevent contact, all you're doing in your is brushing wire. Nothing to do with motivation.

[@grantbaril8487]

Thanks for the awesome overview. I have my Dad's old ALICE gear and I know that it's good enough. I think I even have the same inner wool button down. I'm wondering what the outside jacket you are wearing is, though. Link? Also, have you thought about white pants? Or doing white spray paint camo over some of your stuff?

[@doitriteak]

It's a PCS smock. I'm not interested in camouflage at this point

[@ivankalash2696]

Louisiana man here, recently bought some alice gear. Had 3 bare bone alice belts with nothing on them, except for one old alice pouch I had laying around. Mostly I've collected ak related ammo pouches because I'd been wanting to get an AK, but then needed something for AR mags since I found out ARs would be cheaper/easier to get. I've heard alice works well in hot environments, but also from this video that it works in winter as well, that's good to know since I probably will move up to a northern state sometime in the next 2-4 years. I appreciate the video man!

[@TheDoorspook11c]

Sounds counter-intuitive, go buy some Chinese repro Russian web gear. It's almost the same except for unit or mos specific details. I think the Russians may add it after initial manufacture.

[@ivankalash2696]

​@@TheDoorspook11c nah I'm good I spent less money on the ALICE belt kit (about $70 for it +extra pouches) than even the Chinese repro crap that costs $125

[@AR15fan]

I have ALICE lbe and a MOLLE flc in the much maligned Universal Camouflage Pattern aka ACU camo and I like them both since I used both during my time in. I think you would be better camouflaged with UCP with all that snow and gray wood in the background.

[@karolmatuk6461]

[@whiskeyoperator4117]

Great video I have a suggestion for a secondary weapon just put a large knife or some other kind of Mele weapon on there and take some courses on how to use a knife as a self defence . because it doesn’t matter how thick your gloves are you can still hold a knife

[@doitriteak]

That sounds nice but it isn't really useful if you can't feel the strap retaining the knife

Alice stuff is ok considering it's cheap and pretty much everywhere. I never really liked the magazine pouches though....

[@scottc.real_2legit_4u55]

I have watched all of your videos and I really like them a lot. While I know it is a controversial firearm I am curious about your opinion of the Mossberg Shockwave 590 and / or the Remington 870 TAC-14 for home protection or just general use.

[@doitriteak]

I think it all comes down to what the buyer wants. However, you have an obligation to hit what you're aiming at and that requires aiming. Therefore I do not think shorty shotguns that are designed for rough hip aim make much sense. Precision is the goal and your responsibility IMO

[@scottc.real_2legit_4u55]

@@doitriteak Great Points! Thank you.

[@draugaman2332]

@@scottc.real_2legit_4u55 If you use them, the best way to keep on target (at close range) is to tuck your firing hand into your side with the hand right next to your pectoral muscle. It'll work fine for clearing rooms, but that's about it. I founnd it works better to use an 18" barreled shotgun, and if you have to fight close, you can tuck the stock under your arm in the same manner, and have more control over the weapon

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

You don't aim that particular shotgun from the hip. Watch the video Clint Smith from Thunder Ranch has on it. He demonstrates by live fire how it's properly done. Learn from the 'Nam vet.

[@doitriteak]

It's a bit to ask of someone unaccustomed to using a shotgun. People hurt themselves all the time using them. You have to get professional training before thinking you can just figure it all out.

Hi, do we need to wear belt on pant when using ALICE LBE?

[@doitriteak]

I'd recommend it

[@batrungtran4678]

and one more thing, I wear a size 32 waist pant, so which size of ALICE belt should I go with?

[@doitriteak]

Medium or large

[@krashunburn]

Let me get this straight. You are recommending olive drab-colored gear for winter fighting in the arctic, right? Olive drab against a white background= target-rich environment (that would be you). Out of curiosity, where did you learn winter combat tactics? I ask because no amount of cool gear and trick options will save you if you are sticking out like an elephant in a rice paddy. At the very least, buy a white bed sheet to wrap up in and a white pillow case to camouflage your boom stick. Wow!

[@doitriteak]

You didnt watch the video. Simple as that

[@krashunburn]

@@doitriteak You missed my point completely. I was a little blunt for a reason. Although you did a good job demonstrating equally good gear, what you showed was NOT the "Best winter gear for fighting in the arctic". It will keep you warm and your ammo at the ready, but that is all. It will not keep you safe in a firefight as you alluded to in your title (Winter Fighting Gear). If you want to claim 'Best Winter Fighting Gear in The Arctic,' then you should have been on-camera in white gear. Yes, I know I am being nit-picky, but when talking about survival you NEVER assume anything, not even that your audience already knows things like, 'White in Snow, Green in The Woods, Tan in The Sand".

[@TheTyrial86]

@@krashunburn Yeah because running around with a white jacket with pine trees everywhere is a good idea. Right Tony? That isn't going to spotlight anyone... Shit, in artic warfare the white stuff is barely worn...

[@krashunburn]

@@TheTyrial86 Whatever. Just stay in the forest and you'll be okay, but I'd rather be the same color as the snow since being in a prone position is safer than on my feet pretending to be a pine tree. But you dress like you want.

I can't figure out the sizing of those jackets. It's maddening. I suppose the bigger the better right?

[@doitriteak]

There are easy sizing charts on military1st

[@mnguy98]

@Dan Thoreson The actual measurements (in metric, because Europe) are on the tags usually. If you know your American size and convert, you should be able to figure out your UK size pretty easily. The smocks are usually bigger than marked to allow for layering. If you're not layering lots of stuff underneath, you could get a smock one chest size down and still be reasonably comfortable.
