Man, SOLID advice! I’m convinced to grab the upgraded, bells and whistles version for the wife and I. And, that pre-staging is on POINT, dog! 👊🇺🇸

Another great vid..... I just recently started getting body armor...

[@CredibleHulk10]

Steel plates certainly have their detractors, and their critiques are not unwarranted, but it should go without saying that it is better than nothing. 👍

[@timwarman9043]

Thanks I have been looking

[@iameaster]

Another great and informative video. Thanks.

[@domc115]

[@Beiberhole69RVA]

Another nice vid! I'm waiting for my level III armor for my Vertex EDC bag...but I need to add that SC4!

[@green15838]

Hmmm better than a coat maybe glue kevlar to the plate.

[@Pooch1953]

Just a few years ago anyone talking about buying body armor was looked at as playing army, and not taken as seriously as they should have been, now that things have really headed South in a lot of areas, even the naysayers are looking at it entirely differently. The older I get, the more it hits home that I would rather not be a sieve if I can prevent it, with the majority of my life behind me, I want to be able to enjoy what I have left, and if I never need body armor, I prefer to have it just for the peace of mind. Again, another good, eye opening video.

[@scottgarrett7085]

I need that knife😃

[@tecn0z]

Cool

[@willyfromphilly1502]

Not quite to this point yet, but I know this info will come in handy.

[@feralprepper1597]

Got my lvl 4 plates curved and coated from RMA for 119 bucks both plates

[@BoredAmerican]

I have gotten great customer service from them. They gave me $300 in plate carrier + accessories for free

[@joelvelez3954]

My family does not believe in these things I am the only one who has vests and survival things. Im glad that im not the only one.

[@crypto_pinto2660]

I'll add one more advice. if you have not been training with body armor or with any kind of weight on your back that body armor is only good for home defense because once you have to start hiking with that weight on you and you going to end up dumping your gear or crapping out for good

[@tacontrees1806]

Looking to upgrade to level 3+ plates currently

[@jeremyoyer]

Cool gun. Love your videos. #ESEE4

[@steveleon2627]

Good point about buying steel plates first, however I chose the ceramic plates specifically because of the metal splatter and possible ricochet possibly injuring extremities. Very informative post.

[@wildwindjersey]

I work in environments that don’t always allow concealed carry. Good body armor along with a solid knife is often the only options. Been loving your videos.

[@weduhpeople8504]

1st get out of the line of fire, take cover. My first carrier is the Veritas w RMA level IV ceramic 1155 10x12 single curve plates, Eestac 7.62 x 51 rifle mags for my Scar 17 mags, triple pistol mags holders. Bought another set of level IV ceramic swimmer cut plates and just ordered a Crye Precision JPC carrier. Why another? Quick answer is Biden. I do have 6x8 level IV ceramic side plates but leave them off for mobility unless I know I’m going into an all out shtf situation.Don’t forget an Afaik kit, tourniquets at minimum.

[@Fallout777]

Keltec M carbo??????????? Is that the new name for the Keltec Sub-2K

[@gorillahd9247]

Good video - I recently picked up armor for my family. I went with Botach for the plates.

[@wolfpack7817]

Your videos are filled with great ideas and very informative when it comes to advice or discovering holes in my prep. Please keep'em coming!!! LOL

[@WolfinProgress]

Oss

[@timbishop1006]

I have a plate in My back pack

[@TheTEXMIKE]

ive got the same setup from AR500. Level III+ multi-hit protection against 5.56x45 M193, 5.56x45 M855/SS109 at 3,100 FPS (+/- 30FPS), 7.62x51 M80 Ball (ie .308) at 3,000 FPS (+/- 30FPS)

[@unicornphantasm]

I have noticed the merchandise in your store is growing in number of items. I just purchased an Outdoor Edge LeDuck knife from your store.

[@WolfinProgress]

Thank you!

[@WolfinProgress]

It's a great one!

[@benyruiz489]

👍🏼

[@MKEPTV]

Great information it’s important to have a way to stop from getting holes

[@jonathanm5085]

Oh brrooooo. You never cease to amaze me! Good stuff. Keep it up and please choose me for this giveaway. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@smkl123]

I love your videos. been watching you since almost the beginning. I find your style very approachable and helpful for a beginner prepper.

[@jacobwagner1431]

I have been looking at plates recently so this video helps alot

[@Nottazippo]

Mindset ...Without it none of the rest matters- Knowledge is the ultimate weapon. Every piece of kit is a bonus. Hypothermia will kill you fast even in the 50’s . 👍🇺🇸

[@trailboss889]

Very nice! You are right about the turnaround time.

[@dalmacapn]

Yet another quality video sir. Staying consistent with the straightforward info without a bunch of fluff. Glad to see your channel growing steadily so well. Keep up the good work! Also, I'm here to toss my name in the hat for the drawing! Cheers!

[@vinnyM30]

Just what I needed...been wanting to research and you did the leg work

[@donfrost9457]

Good info on the body armor. I went with plate, too. They may have some disadvantages, as you noted, but their multi-strike capabilities far outweighs them for my circumstances.

[@a.m.cummins8117]

Your videos have so much great info. Thanks for taking time to share.

[@katiehuested7191]

Man you are awesome I hope people really appreciate your giveaways great video on something so important wish they weren’t so expensive but it is an essential item thanks again

[@gripdriver09]

Check out RTS tactical, I bought two sets of body armor from AR 500 during their Christmas season special last year, the lead time was ridiculous, I ended up canceling my second order after waiting more than two months. I received my second set from RTS in about 2 weeks and at a comparable price!

[@joshualicciardello7517]

Great video. So many choices in body armor. Lots of research needed.

[@ronnienarvacan5897]

OHT or Skeletool, I don't know what to pick.

[@marshallclowers1242]

I've got a plate carrier close to the bed, and one in the car. Got the wifey a Freeman carrier last year just in case. For steel plates, I got a pouch from Tactical Scorpion that is a Kevlar front and trauma pad back, hopefully that'll mitigate spalling.spelling. it'd be better to not be shot though ;)

[@0647BT]

Great advice on the body armor

[@daorginalbigb]

That's going to be my next big purchase thanks for the info

[@phreaky681]

What do think about plates in you get home bag

[@WolfinProgress]

Check my bug out bag video. I have a Vertx Overland Bag with Premier Soft Body Armor inside. Lighter and easier to lug,

[@hdjeffw13]

Great info, as always on your channel. I think that with the lead time on getting armor it will be cutting it pretty close.

[@texmex4379]

Man thank you for this video. I've been contemplating gets body armor from that particular company but was on the fence about it.

[@wrongboarders6963]

Great Info! Great Vid As Always, Keep It Up 👍🏽

[@devinmcfinnigan2721]

I love the information on your channel and the gear you keep in all of your kits, really great content

[@karlkloc1722]

You throwing in the armor with the bug out kit? 😏

[@YoooItsRex]

Subscribed last week. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow!! (And hopefully winning this awesome setup!!)

[@RobMassie]

Always good to a fresh perspective. Good luck with the subs and thanks for the giveaway.

[@crypto_pinto2660]

I believe there are much better body armor out there if you look at mr.Gunsngear on KZbin he does plenty of testing on body armor $100 sometimes under $100 for level 4 plates

[@titanpreparedness]

Body armor is very important. I hear a lot of people talk about it in a bug out situation...how many have carried the plates with a pack on. Its important but so is training. Sweet giveaway. You definitely shot up extremely fast congrats

[@andrewroebuck6205]

If you don’t get the build up coat does it just come as plain uncovered steal?

[@ch0rz0andegg5]

I need john wick body armor! 😬

[@outdoorsurvival7730]

I’m thinking maybe order a knife now lol if tried every video

[@dangudgeon3833]

I have the carrier, just trying to save for the plates. Thanks for the review and info!

[@sewhitewolf]

Great video and information, was not sure what to get in armor either so many choices. Good and bad. Interested to hear more about your best choices for you and the wife and what you may/may not pack in them

[@steelrock6666]

We just got ours in the mail...4 months later. It’s well worth it. I purchased spartan body armor. Chose steel over ceramic for the same reasons you indicated. Stay safe.

[@steelrock6666]

Also, what mag pouch are you running in this vid? Looking for 6 mag holder as well

[@WolfinProgress]

Think this was a cheap condor

[@ShootDaily]

And 2020 youtube MVC (most valuable content creator) goes too...former hand model aka the Wolf in Progress! 😆 When are the wolf pack patches coming out!?

[@WolfinProgress]

Haha thanks Mark! I'll work on that!

[@fisherman3640]

Heavy plates, but definitely like that 20 year shelf life 👍

[@PuttForeBirdie]

Great video, I picked up a set of tactical scorpion gear level 3 plates with a condor sentry carrier, and condor triple mag pouch. Only cost me around $175 but I’m very glad I have it. Just hope I never need to use it 🤞🏼

[@rhinooningo2865]

Discussion of body armor is incomplete without including UHMWPE plates. They are effective, very light, and sustain multiple hits. The only real downsides are cost and thickness of the plates.

[@myusa476]

Not sure if anyone has provided this, but here's a link to the level 3+ bundle that I just purchased: tacticon.com/product/body-armor-plate-carrier/ Link to video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haHWmXyMfqd6opI

[@timothy146237]

This channel is pretty amazing with all these giveaways... im surprised you don't have more followers at the moment

[@chuckberry9740]

my family all looked at me like i'm crazy when i asked for body armor for Xmas... tbf, they're probably rightt.

[@HumbleTravellerGaming]

I've been looking at AR500 for a while wanting to get armor.

[@TAVAAR7]

I absolutely think body armor is an important item to have. I think its important to know your purpose and potential threats before deciding what armor is right for you though. Most shooting incidents are from handguns which a 3a set of concealable armor would arguably serve you the best. If you're expecting trouble lvl4 ceramic or ceramic/poly is well worth the extra investment. Steel is good for shelf life like you said and fairly inexpensive for a 3/"3+" rating. Just keep in mind small and fast 55gr will still zip right through even "3+" even though it'll stop green tip. My recommendation is get some kind of body armor, work on cardio so you can use it, but also get a chest rig....sometimes the best armor is being able to haul @$$. Intel and mission drive the gear, know them and you'll have a decent idea of what you need to get and do.

[@terrewilkins6820]

Do you have a preferred vest for comfort?

[@WolfinProgress]

The Valkrye by AR500 is very robust and comfortable. Honestly all the plate carriers from AR500 are great! Thanks for your support on Patreon T’erre!

[@terrewilkins6820]

@@WolfinProgress you are welcome. Thank you for responding and sharing your thoughts with us viewers

[@CameronRail]

I have yet to convince myself that I need body armor. But that doesn't mean it isn't useful in some situations. Still great video, keep them coming.

[@TheChomskyhonk]

With as crazy as stuff has been lately, getting a buy one get one free plate is probably unlikely any time soon. I'll keep my eyes peeled though. Nice vid.

[@Ryarestoshams]

Hey wolf have you looked into rma armors they offer NIJ certified level IV ceramics for 135 a plate which is about the same price as ar500 plates ish depending on sales and around 1 month lead time

[@areuaware6842]

Great info! Steel is a commodity that is mostly imported from East Asia and as the supply chain continues to break down these steel plates will only be harder to get. I can't afford but if can it's now or never if you want them.

[@darnellb85]

Another great video! Living in the Midwest and not sure if it’s illegal? Thanks in advance for a chance to win a good give a way👍🏽

[@2873lonewolf]
