Grunt Reviews a Cav Scout's 72 Hour Bag

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Spot on points there the whole way through the video. When he brought out the spare boots, I was like, WTF?! That's the sort of item held back with your grip at a base location, not in an assault pack. I'm glad you mentioned water, waterproofs and a poncho, they were my main points. Also the map , pens and notebook need to be in your pockets, not in your pack. You can't keep taking your pack off every five minutes when you need to navigate or make notes (for recce, fire missions, SITREPs etc). And if you are in a recce unit you definitely don't mark your map.

[@markusschaffer9712]

@@PreparedPathfinder pens,pencils and maps belong in leg pockets,not in pack. If doing reconnaissance, marking maps is a great way to get your CO ticked off at you,if you get captured or lose the map and opfor finds it.😂

Absolutely want to see more reviews. Part of learning what to keep IN the bag is knowing what to keep OUT of the bag (and rationale, since I was never a grunt)...... Just a shout-out to Grunt Proof -- THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM

[@jonnybabylon]

He forgot the coffee maker, beer cooler and barbecue...

[@Valorius]

Cav scouts were ALWAYS in the field when I was in. Their girlfriends and wives were everyone's girlfriends and wives.

[@wvscout6983]

As a former Cav Scout from the 90’s, he doesn’t have even close to half the shit we carried.

[@outofrangetv2353]

That’s the most ait/basic training packing list I’ve seen

[@alancarter4270]

WOW 1. Most everything was still store wrappers 2. Where his Water kit 3. Where is his PEQ15 on his M4, he's an SSGT 3. No smoke grenades 4. Signal kit? where is his PTT and head set 5. Compass not dummy corded 6. MRE's, not cut down 7. IFAK? I could go on, scratching my head

[@GruntProof]

Yea, and you know some 1SG or CSM approved that

[@AJohnSmith]

@@GruntProofE-5 is when your brain starts to rot or you never promote bc you are busy giving the uppers the real news.

[@melvinhowell5469]

Appreciate it...Merry Christmas...

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Nailed it brother, good job tearing it down and pointing out some glaring problems, no bueno with a lot of it.

[@Swish82]

That was hilarious Randall. Thanks for this video.

[@noelwouldridge6910]

As a former Cav Scout, I feel he was absolutely missing a ton of gear in that 72 hour bag. I seriously hope this is not what this generation of soldiers is being taught they need in the field

[@watermelonejones4476]

It’s not, I promise.. first team!

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

COVERT THREADS: Wool Beast OTC socks are absolutely outstanding! All US sourced material, made and Vet owned by a gwot guy. Worn them for years and have yet to tear a hole in em, however I do hand wash them with very light amount of PH balanced soak so the natural fibers last for years. Yes the same shit your wife washes her shit with 😂 it works.

[@user-qx5nk6qg2b]

Wore Fox Rivers through SFAS and Q Course. Never looked back.

[@Ghost-dx8mm]

Wish i had a friend IRL like this guy. It'd change my whole life.

[@BlueJayWaters]

I was Navy and I thought this bag was a soup sandwich. When I was a Hospital Corpsman with my Marine unit, 80% of my gear was medical. Everything else was food, thermals, ammo, and water. Not a single pouch held unnecessary gear

[@jerrykieler3379]

Awesome video. Spot on too! Prior Army soldier here. Won't say MOS because non of ya liked us.

[@brianschroeder6106]

As a scout I am totally shocked. There is no way I am going to war with this guy. How did he get promoted to staff? I wouldn't take that bag camping. No extra boots, uniform or tshirts. Snivel gear ok. What about rain gear. What about weapons cleaning, water, more food. I do understand the pens, but put that shit in a bag. 72 hrs at least 3 broken down mre's. I would probably have had 6. And his shoulder says he is a screaming eagle? If the whole army is like him we will all die if the attack comes on our home turf. Oh, and buy the way, we didn't walk over distance we were cav we drove. So Sad

[@Trash_panda_real]

Thanks for the laugh it took me back to the old packing lists made by someone that never went in the field. At least the sengars were lighter than the prick 77

[@TyrQuest]

The scouts I was a medic for could not pack much less make a packing list. Got chewed out by a few NCO’s for taking only an assault pack with what I needed for a 7 day FTX and got chewed out for not having an extra pair of boots and an extra uniform. I was SPC at the time and had worked with Infantry and FA so they were in the hazing phase that first field. They left me alone on the second one but none of them could pack appropriately for any field problem we did my 4 years with them.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

A review video that's actually worth a darn, nice!

[@metoonunyabidness1391]

There’s a difference between what I would choose to take on a scout mission as opposed to what my unit makes s.o.p.

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

Might not be a sexy video idea. But it would be interesting to see what you recommend for field repair specific kit? I've seen you mention this in prior videos but a dedicated video would be awesome... Or a link to a prior one I missed if you did this already 😂.

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

@GruntProof thank you sir, I'll head there right now. I'm actually watching an old video from 22 Sierra Coffee I found with you while searching for that Diesel n Hate flavored Grunt Proof coffee which I can't see to find online anywhere... Please don't tell me that's notta real thing brother 😂. Love my Blackout coffee pitch black Espresso dark roast which is angry, but it does need a splash more hatefulness 😂

[@runningman1156]

I was never a grunt, just a prepared citizen . I feel really good about my setup after watching that.

[@geoffdickey3761]

My favorite pack was the Medium Alice. Wait that was the only pack I was given when I was in so that is probably why it is my favorite pack while I was in.

[@RobertHamm-u7c]

Where’s the 550 cord, duct tape, wet weather gear, poncho, canteens, extra mags and ammo, NOD’s, bayonet, smoke grenades, frags, claymore’s and accessories.

[@Anchor2012]

His water was on his back (you can see it at 1m21s). I'd guess 3L - which probably isnt enough for 72hrs, mind you, you would think it got a mention, it is pretty important.

[@NSghostoif5]

Forget extra boots, extra socks with 90m tape and t shirts done!

[@markottinger]

He doesn't need any water because that red light will get him dead in 2.5 seconds

[@bobbybyrne4415]

You should do a comparison pack load between Army and Marine Corps. Also where in Mississippi are you from.

[@shoottothrillphotoWI]

Dump 90% of what he displayed & then add: PEQ15, NODs, bayonet, potable water system, sleep system, water-proof poncho, tourniquets, & extra love seeds.

[@williamsamuelson2495]

Bro. This hurt to watch. I was doing some liason work for MFO yrs ago and looking at their bug out bags was equally as cringe. It looked like the 3 shop vomited out a packing list that the night RTO produced. Being a retired grunt makes watching shit like this take parts of your soul. Lmao

[@groundzero.]

defiantly not an operational loadout. UM how about knife, and medical. two things I didn't hear him or you mention. I also normally had multi tool (Gerber or Leatherman) to aid in repairs and coffee grounds always. Don't underestimate a pinch of coffee grounds in the lip like its Copenhagen.

[@user-vn9oz1fe8k]

I'll tell you what I found that's better than shoe Goo if you try some of that flex seal glue will hold far better than shoe Goo

[@GruntProof]

Yes

[@TUKByV1]

Thanks.

[@theap0killyp1k2]

1:08 WTF is that? His brainbox is protected against shrapnel and small caliber bullets at 150⁰ and up. I didn't even know they made helmets in Asian sizes.

[@ifell3]

This is a 'capture load out' he's got all the gear to get caught and to look good as a pow 😅

[@neowolff16]

Maybe I'm just too old of a scout. Only things in my pack: Water, Poncho (liner is weather dependent), Poggy bait, Ammo, Batteries and "extra" 1st aid. Anything that is mission essential (map, Pen & Paper, binos, compass / GPS is in my LBE / Flick.

[@pauls_xjadventures]

IFAK? Did I miss that?

[@TUKByV1]

Civilian here. I'm at 8:23 and I'm starting to wonder if they uploaded this video to mislead people. Especially with the stuff in packaging.

[@hiramhaji7813]

Send it Randel

[@acem82]

Remember everyone, these are the "best" out of the most expensive military of all time, and they're terrible. Also, if your boots break down in 3 days, where did you buy them, Temu?

[@hiramhaji7813]

All the formulas 🌈😂

[@jalpa9642]

He forgot to take the Marbles out of his mouth...... mumble, mumble.....

[@davidc8527]

He would not be able to complete his mission of Reconnaissance.....those items or lack there of not good.

[@markusschaffer9712]

Wasting space with unnecessary stuff,unnecessary packaging…. Grunt,this seems to be more of a PSA than an actual loadout from a guy who lives in the field.,

[@herringbone5035]

This isn't that guys real set up, hes out for a few hours and has some stuff he added to his kit at the last minute from the PX when he went to buy cigarettes and dip and bogie bait. He didn't pack for a field exercise or deployment. He has a combat patch so he has done the real deal before.
