How To Build A Chest Rig

[@Drunk-Mosquitos]

I'm late to the party, but these videos are great! Something else you could do with the front pocket - add a zipper. I have seen inserts for the JPC 2.0 that are small zippers with hook and loop on both sides. This could make it a little easier to get into the pouch.

@@Drunk-Mosquitos never too late. Thanks for the input.

Recently found this channel and I'm hooked. The fact that you're doing this is legit. Keep it up!

[@notshared2543]

Awesome man. Cool to create exactly what you want. A nylon sewing intro / equipment video might do well these days.

[@ab5olut3zero95]

Any plans to make a minuteman/civilian equivalent of a TAPS system? Something that attached to a plate carrier and functions as a standalone chest rig?

[@thriftyoperator637]

Probably not that exactly. I’ve made three chest rig videos and all there could be worn over a plate carrier and fulfill a similar role as the TAPS

Dude you’re a genius!! So glad I stumbled in to your channel! About eBay me a Sewing machine so I can accidentally sew my fingers together xD

Could you please make a vedio on how to make a modular OVERT Plate Carrier .For eg :The Warrior Assault DCS

[@thriftyoperator637]

I plan to make a video on an overt plate carrier but it will probably be a more simple design. Something like the DCS would end up being an hour long video

@@thriftyoperator637 my local Joann’s only had 2inch elastic max where did u find the 4 inch also what strap material did u use

[@thriftyoperator637]

Amazon or eBay. Just search for nylon or elastic webbing in whatever width you want.

[@undergroundupholstery]

Most under rated video on the tube. What material did you use?

[@thriftyoperator637]

I don’t remember what I made this from. I mostly use 500-1000 denier cordura now

[@chadkrum1761]

When you said fold down the tops and bottom of the material and lay a stitch..what seam allowance are you using? Half inch? Quarter?

[@thriftyoperator637]

Usually somewhere in between. I like 3/8 ish.

Can you do a load bearing harnes or a commando rig

[@bigoz7]

[@Ctholsters]

@@thriftyoperator637 DIY fanny pack similar to those used by Qilo tactical and more dangling pouches,the whole gucci micro chest rig thing in general

[@thriftyoperator637]

Well I’ve already made one on a dangler pouch but I’ll look into the fanny pack

[@user-ue7mw7hg7n]

Thankyou Thrifty

[@TGTPodcast704]

What was your main material? Great video btw

[@thriftyoperator637]

I made this from some heavy cotton canvas. Lately I’ve been using either 500 or 1000d cordura nylon. The nylon is a lot more durable but is is harder to sew on a cheap machine.

[@zokhrozzWoomzy]

Nice

[@flavortown3781]

What kind of sowing machine are you using?

[@thriftyoperator637]

The cheap one linked below the video
