Flashlight Tactics | Back to Basics

[@davidoconnor1773]

Really like how you've decorated your house brother!!

[@RagnarOdinson]

LOL! My dad was a Marine in Vietnam then a Cop for years after that, and I remember him teaching That “closing one eye trick” to gain an advantage in my natural “night vision “ when I was probably ’bout 8 or 9 🤣… As well as how to “walk point” while scanning for threats with my semi-auto .22 at around the same age. Lol, 👊!!

[@sombra6153]

Great advice telling viewers to seek out formal low light training. For the majority who won’t for various reasons, you produced and excellent basic skills video. Anyone who at least practices these techniques will be a step further ahead. I make combat rings out of two rubber grommets - one as close to two inches in diameter as possible for the finger, and the other about twice the diameter of the light body. I encourage people to consider walking at night with the light already to g in their support hands. That makes them ready for an almost instant response when a challenge gets within threat distance. They can then decide whether to wash the ceiling or floor, or to put light directly on the subject - and to execute distance gaining movement when the challenge is suddenly suffering from diminished night vision.

I found a small dive light that is high, low, and absolutely blinding bright and fast strobe. Great against an opponent. Great info.

[@DC-bk6ep]

Strobe is stupid

[@blakemogus6145]

Awesome job on The Real AF,

[@jamespisano1164]

Appreciate you sharing, Bro.

[@03redrubi]

Solid info! Thank you sir.

[@jadena1280]

Would love to see a durability test on the fieldcraft flashlight!

[@michaeld223]

Great topic and presentation! Thank you very much!!

[@danno714]

Interesting he's using a Tiger ring on his light. Those were popular in the early 2000's. Surprised they are coming back.

[@Graymanone]

We learned how to use light in photography we call it defusing the light

[@abqwalt]

Thanks for the video. Good info for when the WML fails.

[@connorhughes7417]

Please do a video on the flashlights that you guys use

[@DC-bk6ep]

Modlite Surefire Cloud defensive Streamlight

[@kaa_man]

Please make a video for a weapon attached light.

[@fitgiddlin21]

1:05 I discovered this when taking my dog out at night. If I look right at her she disappears but if I look away from her I can see her. Super weird

[@giborchayil]

Mouth method for holding a light works as well...🍻

[@Soulcritic]

I have as Thyrm Switchback ring on my Shurefire 6PX single output light. Before that, I was taught to put the light in my mouth. Put the light in your armpit or under your chin, move either, drop the light! Bad idea! Those cords ain't much help either. Well getting them on is the hard part. there going to be colllapsed flat & ya gotta wiggle your finger into the loop!

[@kaoakana]

What flashlight course would you recommend?

[@giannissarantapentaris4154]

Like that video content!

[@bigvandiesel5432]

Good video

[@samuelrangel9483]

Are those the ultra range pro vans ? Thinking about grabbing a pair lol

[@HotBrassBBQ]

I have Vans MTE Crosspaths, I’d check those out too. Love mine, but had to go one size up.

[@5115-y1i]

What is the song at the end does someone know ?

[@darthnatas953]

I think they make lights that will attach to the gun, thereby keeping your hands free to actually shoot the gun. That may not be the latest in tacticool though; I wouldn't know.

[@johnathantaan4751]

Sometimes you don't want to light up something while simultaneously pointing a loaded weapon at it. Unless you're just always pointing your gun at things just to use the flashlight.

[@RagnarOdinson]

@@johnathantaan4751 Precisely!! 👊

[@rico989]

like it's so hard to point the light at the floor and use the splash of the light to see. Wow such a new concept 😱

[@RagnarOdinson]

@@rico989 Come on, Bub. Have a weapon light of course! AND have a compact carry light for searching *in the appropriate scenario*, it’ll be OK man. Don’t be dochey & condescending just for the fuck of it. It provides ZERO benefit for Anyone, including You. 😉 - Oh yeah, also: No. it’s not a new concept. Most people who bother to educate themselves about or train Any of this stuff are very well aware of using the “light splash” artfully.

[@darthnatas953]

Most current weapon lights are so bright that all you have to do is turn it on and point it at the floor, and it lights up the whole room.

[@keenanschouten2582]

Most importantly, I personally appreciate the fact that he’s not using a weapon mounted light on a pistol. Thereby using the gun as a search light. Something only Alec Baldwin would do.

[@toddglover2054]

You show the "Harries Technique" wrong. The "Harries" is what you called the "Weaver".

[@markthomas1810]

So, let me get this straight... I'm going to walk into a room looking for a threat and use an umbrella lighting technique to look around the room...? I'll have to pass on this...

[@MrBluehound]

before I start watching this video....do I really need to hear about how I've been using a flashlight all wrong my whole life?

[@danno714]

Lumens over candelas. Put the Candela nonsense to rest.

[@FreeBayArea]

Sunglasses for reverse night vision goggles?

[@willisdikfitinurmouth6793]

This guy was a cop for like 4 years in a shithole area where they hire anyone who has a pulse. The fact that people take advice from him is astounding.

[@louispittman7367]

💯

[@darthnatas953]

Why would that be different than any other cop? For 90% of cops the only gun they ever fool with is their little radar gun. Even a mall cop can do that.

[@coffeeandlifting]

Lemme try to recap... Use the Harries technique (actually Rogers) or Weaver (actually Harries) depending on which way you're going around a corner. Put the light under your chin to reload. Use your light to hit someone even though you have a gun. And don't forget to use a proper "tactical" light like that gas-station zoomie that he has. Fieldcraft is really phoning it in these days 😵‍💫

[@CelticGermanicTxWarrior77]

I'll just use stream light that's on my pistol thank you.

[@letmeknow4449]

What happens if you need to light up a room and find out it’s your family member…😮 oh no now you’re pointing a weapon at something you don’t want to destroy! Plz don’t give advice.

[@darthnatas953]

@@letmeknow4449 Most modern weapon lights are so bright you can just shine them at the floor and they will light up the whole room. There's you some advice. There is plenty to do in a home invasion without fumbling with your flashlight. Most people can barely hit a moving target under stress as it is, even without something else in their hands.

[@danbyers8462]

Light mounted gives the bad guys a great target. Naw, I'll use a free carrying light.

Not taking advise from a guy using a $5 zoomie light. Get a good gear if you want people to take you serious

[@letmeknow4449]

😂😂😂 it’s funny you think the price of a light makes you badass… you probably have a 6000$ rifle and it’s still in the box without sights on it.😅🎉
