They were filming a recruitment video the whole time I was in boot camp. So when our bus pulled up, a film crew got on before the D.I. did. He did his spiel, we got off the bus onto the yellow footprints, then we got back on the bus to do it all again from a different camera angle. Kinda killed the moment for me.

As a medic, I have become a big fan of the dump pouch. I use a fold-up one from Condor. Is it the best...probably not. Is it cheap and does it work well for me...yes. I don't use the dump pouch for magazines though. I use it to quickly store the medical equipment that I'm using. I work predominantly off the the body and try not to get into my aide bag, so if I take contact while I'm in the middle of working on a casualty and need to rapidly change cover, move a patient, or anything else that would require relocating, i can quickly store the medical equipment i have pulled out without having to re-index them into their designated spots on my kit. This allows me to free my hands quickly to get hands on weapon, move a casualty, etc.

[@1BeGe]

Truth. I've found dump pouches so useful that their biggest problem is that they're always full when it finally comes time to do a mag change. I've started wearing a 2nd one. I'm military and don't use a pistol so the entire right-hand side of my belt doesn't need a ton...so I stuck a 2nd dump pouch on it. Whatever I'm working with, the dump pouch is a 3rd (and 4th and 5th) hand to hold it. Land nav? Maps and protractors go in there while I'm shooting azimuths. Long patrol? Extra food and water goes in there quite nicely. etc etc. I have one on the hip belt of my main pack too just in case I need it while hoofing it, and it's come in useful a thousand times.

"Do I have a pathalogical phobia of question marks despite asking what seems to be a question to the point where I replace question-marks with full stops....possibly"

Sir, you have just earned my subscribe. Only time will tell if you continue to make good videos, but this one and others indicate you put out some fantastic content. Keep up the good work, you've just earned yourself a new follower!

I like this setup. I have plenty of room behind the pistol for one of those short Kiwi pouches to keep a medium sized box of crayons to snack on! On a serious note, is there a reason you don't carry at least a decent small knife on the belt? Never know when you have to stab a THOT, engage in vigorous combat with an MRE pouch or tactically open your mail.

[@GarandThumb]

For various reasons I did not include my defensive knife setup in this video. I can't always show everything.

[@B65-s7b]

Gotta keep that 10% to yourself. That’s how you stay on top.

[@arbosmak5914]

But Garand, we need everything....

[@sostrucking]

Henry Dietrich don't forget a whiskey pouch. Can't have crayons without the whiskey.

The Emissary belt is the real deal. I ordered mine at the worst possible time and ended up waiting 7 weeks for it thanks to the hurricanes - it was still worth the wait. The material will outlast you. Plus real brass means you’re a real man, obviously.

[@GarandThumb]

Glad you like it!!

Right when we were getting off the bus filling those yellow footprints up, I had a polo shirt on unbuttoned, I was soon advised to “button that trash all the way up you!” Good times👍🏻 RAH!

Our basic started at 2am. Back in the early 80's that seemed to be the norm. Pitch dark and then taps from three different directions.

[@ricardoneves356]

Nice and practical sugestions. I use a similar one, and works well, for exemple when i sprint or go to the ground.

[@Warpetrie]

It took almost a month for my Emissary belt to be shipped when at the time it was in stock and not a back order purchase...but over the last week of me using it ive been pretty happy with it.

[@GarandThumb]

Glad you like it. Their shop is small no doubt but puts out high quality products

I have a belt setup using an old web belt and some pouches I had laying around and a Safariland holster. I decided to use that setup because it's for classes, I'm not an operator.

[@No1UKnowOf]

The PSA about VO2 at the end made it all worth it. Should have put it at the beginning so I didn't have to listen to the rest of your BS. Great video Mike was wonderring if you were going to do an update on your setup. Garand for President 2020.

[@GarandThumb]

Haahaha thanks man

[@jesterflight8593]

Thus fella is a damm good instructor, I'm still a fulltime public servant & LEO instructors don't seem this informed & are way too complacent. Everytime we qualify, they never bring up our duty belts, or how we could be more effective. It's supposed to be an,8hour tour ,however they let us out once we qualify after a 2 hour lunch & claim 8 hours. We have to stay away from our duty stations & go to the pub ,or to our house,no traffic stops. Imagine if we actually utilized 4 hours of classroom instruction & 4 hours of tactical handgun practice?

[@MasterK9Trainer]

Those were very interesting pieces of gear and I love your detailed explanations, but sadly many of us can't afford all the cool, tactical or professional level gear on the market. So, if you could do a video for people on a budget that covers new and maybe even old gear that would be a video many would like to see. I am sure as a trained and experienced soldier or operator that you can and would improvise with whatever you had or could get. As a civilian, as a prepper or survival minded person, such information and knowledge would be extremely beneficial as one may not always be able to afford or get specific or enough essential equipment in time for an event and of course we never know when an emergency is going to bite us in the butt and as if to say, "Ready or not, your ass is mine".

[@vhmccray3705]

I agree with you fully. One thing to consider is just doing a ton of research. There is so much gear out there. Just like with anything else, some of it is crap. Finding quality inexpensive gear ain't easy. But you can find some good stuff used. It just takes some patients.
