[@RodolfoMartinez-px6cj]

One suggestion is to use paracord to retain items to the rig, like the paint can opener and the shears.

[@TapRackTyler]

That is an awesome tip! Thank you for the advice going to upgrade soon. 🤘🏼

[@danielmorgan5276]

Damn dude. That paint can opener was the fact of the episode.

[@TapRackTyler]

Thank you brother definitely a cheap but crucial tool to have ⚡️

[@trentgilliam5192]

Thank you for the paint can opener and radio recommendations. I’ve been shooting AR’s for years and never heard of the paint can open idea! Genius.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it! I just did an update video to my chest rig, where I go over some mods and changes I have made to it since. If interested here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/e33JmJeIoNGNi5I

Great video and thanks for the tip on the paint can opener tool!

[@TapRackTyler]

Thank you for watching I really appreciate it I am glad it helped! 🤘🏼

[@CF_1776]

Solid kit man nice video

[@PartTimeJedi]

I carry a paint can opener in my chest rig also (I run the Krydex D3cr same style as yours) but I have a suggestion, you dip the paint can opener in some liquid rubber or spray some flex seal, all the way up to about an inch from the tip. It will help to prevent any unnecessary scratching against your AR and gives a much better grip when your hands are sweaty. Great vid by the way!

[@TapRackTyler]

This is a great idea! I really appreciate it and thank you for watching. 🤘🏼

[@tnh723]

I love how you bagged even the smaller items inside the front pouch. getting stuff all wet because of rain is pretty awful when things are loose. I don't like the idea of my little battery chargers or boo-boo kits getting soggy inside my utility pouches. cheers dude. subbed!

[@TapRackTyler]

Thank you brotha I appreciate it! Definitely helps with a added level of security to keep those essentials dry! Thanks for the sub man I really appreciate it! 🫡

[@StarwaterCWS]

[@601firepower3]

I also have a small head lamp that is tighten to my left side of my shoulder pad in the forward direction just in case you have to go hands on and your weapon light goes out.

[@TapRackTyler]

Another solid tip for sure! I have one on my AC1 carrier and it comes in handy for sure especially for hands free like you said. Need to put one in my chest rig now too! 👍🏻

[@user-sz8ed7dz1n]

I like the paint can opener suggestion. I think your missing one important piece of the kit. Knife, or multi tool

[@TapRackTyler]

I appreciate it! I have since added both the above you mentioned and more. Here is an updated if interested Civilian Chest Rig Setup For 2024 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e33JmJeIoNGNi5I

[@scottamy6496]

Great video and explanation of your gear choice and reasons! I feel for y’all in California dealing with the ridonculous restrictions and infringements of your rights! I highly recommend giving the Streamlight ProTac 2L-X a look for a handheld light, they’re amazing and for the price simply can’t be beat! There’s nothing wrong with using a cheaper chestrig like yours, most of the “name brand” stuff out is just crazy overpriced in my opinion!

[@TapRackTyler]

I really appreciate that! I have been wanting a new handheld so I definitely will check that 2L-X out! Thank you for the support as well, the restrictions here are ridiculous. Thanks again for watching brotha I appreciate it! 🤘🏼

[@thewhyyyguy6274]

Just remember that those medical gloves aren’t sterilized for the person you would use them on because they are touching the open bag. Kinda stupid thing to point out but i would probably keep them in a ziplock like the other stuff if you care lmao

[@TapRackTyler]

Word thank you for the tip! I appreciate it and makes sense ⚡️

[@BillHarlowHarlowsKorner]

if you set up a helmet you can get the mic attachment that is stationary and no need to push to talk

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Good thing you got that radio with the civilian chest rig 🙄

[@TapRackTyler]

Communication is key

[@SacredHeart0520]

The uv5R is the best radio and if you are ham cert. It is a ham and u can program for scanning too

[@TapRackTyler]

Yes it is very useful. Even recently I have been using it on FRS freqs for driving with other other vehicles, team training etc. and it has been solid

[@tacatron]

Great video! Any chance you could post a link to the actual chest rig you purchased? I’ve been looking for a HS knock off rig and this one looks good. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@BillHarlowHarlowsKorner]

I have the H and the X style. My rig set up much like yours there is the H. Which do you feel is more ergonomic

[@TapRackTyler]

I feel the H setup is a bit easier to put on and a bit more ergonomic. How about you?

[@BillHarlowHarlowsKorner]

Oh no question on that H support, comfort and the fit is, in my opinion more suitable for anyone with any OCD issues, for example.... Me @@TapRackTyler

[@BillHarlowHarlowsKorner]

my helmet set up took a bit of time and like everything else it also took some coin. But im finally happy with it. I think you'd enjoy seeing what I've done then adding your own to fit your requirements. America is nothing shy of the greatest nation in the world. Those who hear this mistake it for those who reign under the dream of democracy. We have island sands, tropicalish, woodland, and in between... The fine touches are always about the individual needs @@TapRackTyler

[@Sn00chieb00chies]

Which model radio is that?

[@TapRackTyler]

Baofeng UV5R

[@jadrian9319]

Using a pencil at the range instead of a sharpie in the rain is not the way. I’m in the NE in a valley on the Appalachian, a pencil will rip your target if it’s wet. If you’re just taking about a drizzle then or doesn’t matter anyway. Nice chest kit though. Definitely made for the range/training with bros. Hope you get out of cali asap

[@TapRackTyler]

Appreciate the input brother 🫡

[@PepeDeezNutz]

lol sure buddy

[@Bigfoot903Outdoors]

Don't you have to have a ham license for the uv5r

[@TapRackTyler]

Negative. You do not need a license to own it or listen in to any frequency. You do “technically” need a ham license to transmit on certain frequencies though. Unless it’s an emergency you don’t need a license at all. Hope this helps. 🤘🏼

[@Pmedic605]

So we can see your scissors even though you painted them camouflage ...

[@TapRackTyler]

Dang time to reapply 🤣⚡️

[@soxfox1176]

What chest rig is it?

[@TapRackTyler]

Thank you for watching! It is a Huenco chest rig I got off Amazon. Has held up well. Here is the link. www.amazon.com/dp/B07L4NPGSP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

I just use a Type 56 Chest rig lol

[@TapRackTyler]

Solid option as well 😅🫡

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Commie

[@m.k.7199]

Those retention straps on the back of the crossed shoulder straps are designed to have one of the straps to pass through. This is to prevent having the straps crawl up onto the back of the neck. Nice to see you have medical supplies, but you need to have trauma supplies in case, while playing ninja, you shoot someone. Boo Boo med supplies wont' help anyone. More important is to know how to provide emergency medical treatment. What's with the trauma shears? To look cool, or to cut away gear and clothes to expose a wound so you can say "Man, that looks bad!"?

[@TapRackTyler]

Lmfao where to start. I guess the ninja playing part, although there are plenty of keyboard warrior replies this one made me laugh. The ‘boo boo’ kit is for finger cuts, minor wounds. My IFAK, CAT TQ, medical gauze, chest seals, Israeli bandage are for the trauma incidents. Like I said the rig goes in conjunction with a backpack or belt that have other items as well. As far as the shears, they do look cool, but they are actually are used to cut tape, clothing if needed, seat belts, shoulder straps, targets, gear, numerous items. Also, I have an updated chest rig video if you’d like to critique that as well, thank you for the support. 🫡

[@7amelchenko]

MisKellaneous! 😂

[@TapRackTyler]

😂👌🏼

[@MW-rv9wp]

half that stuff needs to be in a bag, how you going to deploy that CAT with one working hand? IFAK, needs mre packing and a ACE bandage, its not a bobo kit. looks noisey to me.

[@TapRackTyler]

Thank you for watching! As far as my TQ holder I do want to put it more centerline. Maybe under my front pouch, but I can still access it where it is with both hands individually and just pull it out if needed. Do you recommend in the front under my pouch? I do need to complete my “IFAK”, with seals, and blow out supplies etc…That is why I called it my “boo boo” kit at the moment lol, it is only basic stuff like antibiotic ointment, Tylenol, tape, bandaids etc… stuff I use most often for now and will upgrade to a better IFAK soon. Is there any other important IFAK items you recommend? Thank you again for watching I appreciate it! 🤘🏼

[@davidsantiago6189]

Good vid

[@richkestrel7416]

*@MW-rv9wp* , I respectfully disagree. His chest rig set-up is mainly for projection of force and communication, with a nod towards small medical issues, so [to me] a boo boo kit on his chest rig seems appropriate. He'll be wearing a gun belt (or battle belt) for his handgun, and that's where I could see him having a more robust IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit), with the stuff you mention. Compression bandages, chest seals, quik clot, larger bandages including some "butterfly" bandages, first aid tape, nasopharyngeal airway NPA), perhaps even some tampons (for plugging holes). All really important stuff to have, but I would not load a chest rig up with that, *unless* you also ran a dangler bag / drop pouch underneath the rig. Just my 2cents... *@TapRackTyler* , I like your set up, and I'll be adding that paint can opener (for clearing AR ejection issues) to my kit immediately 👍 In your boo boo kit, you might want to add some moleskin, burn cream, sting/bite wipes. They are small-ish items, and you should be able to pop a few of them in your med pouch. BTW, I like how organized your pouch/boo boo kit is!

[@charles17508]

I like H harnesses

[@TapRackTyler]

I agree I prefer the H as well 🤘🏼
