For all you good folks using your old military gear i.e., belts, pouches and vests thank you for all you did for our country. Old Carpenters like me will have to make due with our tool belts. Nice video and have fun out there. ;)

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

Thank you George OohRah. Carpenter belts are awesome, super very sturdy

[@joannthompson670]

George... You could check for some of the things Ron and others talk about at a nearby military surplus if you have one in your area. ;)

[@joannthompson670]

Thanx everyone, for your "Get well wishes"!! Ron and I are both looking forward to my upcoming surgery and I can not hardly wait to "Git-R-done" and get well!! lol -- HH & God Bless!! ;)

[@OldiesGoodies]

Great stuff good to know on snake boots.Thanks AL My set up is very similar but only 1 pin pointer and same type of webbing. Happy Hunting and Good Luck.. Thats good to hear about your wife do good..c

[@DigginWithDeej]

Nice video Ron.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

I was lucky enough to find 3 pairs of snake gaiters one time at the one surplus store I frequent. After discounts he gives me I think they were $10/ pair so I bought them all. Gave a pair to my brother and keep the extra pair for when someone else comes into snake country with me. I don't wear them as much as I should, but I'm starting to more often.

[@digging6068]

Great gear round up Ron, you are well prepared, I need to get me some snake boots also. I want to find some type of belt with suspenders built in to spread the weight out even better. With my belly sometimes my belt ends up pulling down on my pants leading to a horrible case of plumbers crack. lol. Hopefully suspenders will keep that from happening and spare anybody around me. lol. Hope your wife's surgery goes well and she has a speedy recovery. GL & HH

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

go to a military surplus if one nearby and ask for a LCV load carry vest or something in that line that suits you

[@findingfun4747]

Wow great belt! I need to make one of those!

[@treasuretrollsmichigan1564]

Nice set up thank you for sharing. I still have my LCE from my time in the army. Now I know what to do with it. Thank you.

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

I have one and your gear can be strapped to it, plus place a few water bottles in the mag pouches. But when bending down, thats a lot of upper chest bulk tho. Still a good idea, hmmm

[@williamdawson650]

I'm here in Hubbard Lake MI, where are you located? Oh yeah, GO NAVY!!!

[@treasuretrollsmichigan1564]

I’m in Newport Michigan in Monroe county. Southeastern near the river raisin battlefield

[@joemiller9421]

[@Famo59]

Hi Mate Congratulations on hitting 1300 subscribers.. I agree with you 💯 percent on wearing snake 🐍 protection. I always wear my snake 🐍 guards..and have all my safety gear with me at all times. Thanks for sharing your your tips. Cheers Famo59 Tony.👍🍺⛏🇦🇺

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

Thanks Famo, I let a marketing group help me by promoting the channel where ever they promoted it at. The numbers is nice but something feels left out. I love instructing & teaching, or just giving tips that has helped me out.

[@PartTimeDetector]

Nice set up, I bought a similar belt at our military supply store, I look for the dump bag but could not find it. Thanks for sharing, you did give me an idea to improve my set up. Thanks! ATB Amy

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

Hey Amy, maybe check near construction belt accessories in hardware stores

[@peterevans8194]

Great video... my belt kit is very similar although like others here I have added the Alice suspenders...Over here muddy conditions are more a problem than heat so I also carry a small hand towel and a pair of work gloves... these are hung off small snap hooks attached to the grommets off the web belt....

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

Awesome, I like my shoulder bag as well. But it's nice to be hands and shoulder free. Thanks for watching..

[@exploringwithdonald8444]

I starting making my own using this same belt , just here looking for more Ideas lol

[@williamdawson650]

Did you need my boot size? LOL!!!

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

you aint got snakes in MI

[@williamdawson650]

We do too!!!

[@erikkekkonen8481]

Hey bud great video !! Positive thought to your wife !! ? for you You mentioned where you bought your snake boots from but I couldn't understand what you said would you care to please let me know thanks a bunch !! You and the wife take care !!

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

I bought them from Academy sports, its a outdoor sports store chain. They can be bought from other places like bass pro shop or cabella's

[@keithdickson8364]

I went with the pistol belt also but added suspenders so it wouldn’t pull my pants down. 😱😱😱

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

good idea

[@kevina4674]

That trx should be your main and throw away the Garrett’s!! The trx only picks up if your pointing straight at it and you can detect targets up to 5 inches in the ground before you dig!!! That carrot and any Garrett could never compare to me!!! They only detect up to 3 inches and that’s when you use the nickel and rubber band cheat!!! Plus they detect down the whole shaft and 360 degrees! So with the trx not only do you get the depth but it saves you time as if it’s beeping it’s right in front of you! I hate putting the Garrett in the hole and it be and inch or two in all directions!

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

True Kevin. The Trx is good but I haven't worked it that much. I do mainly use the carrot with zlynk. Its just good to have options. Thanks for the comments, I appreciate info from all angles. That's how I learn :)
