How to layer military equipment - 3 Lines Principle (with Ukrainian subtitles)

!! Kit list below !!
There is no ultimate setup wich is suitable for everything. The gear you need is all depending on climate, mission, unit and a lot of other variables.
The 3 Lines principle is used worldwide by mainly reconnaissance units.

*Meanwhile in reality...* Combat uniform, AT (M72) or 40mm and AT, main weapon (G3), small child like backpack with a trash bag inside, towel at the bottom (to wipe and as a security to prevent food getting wet from the bottom if there is a leak), food for 3 days (1x MRE 1xShort Canned Meat), thick wool sweater (aka sleeping "bag" and top wet security) and even more ammo on the top. The rest (mittens with a trigger finger, extra pair of thick wool socks, headover, thick wool beanie, weapon cleaning tools (goes into the back end pocket of the jacket), first aid, shovel, optional large Sami knife, combat west with ammo and camel back(water source) and most importantly a toothbrush, toothpaste and a single spoon in a small metal box) is on your combat uniform, as well as a helmet. BUT THAT IS IT! *Sleeping:* Take out and put on thick wool sweater. Then put on your combat uniform without the west. Open the zipper and put you mittens at your chest area and zip it up again. Now pull your headover over your ears and put your beanie on top. Set your weapon(s) next to you with your combat west and helmet. Pull your arms into your jacket and lay down in a fetal position on a dry surface (dry as in, most likely dry when you wake up as well. Forest are really damp during the mornings unless its winter) and then you sleep. Just make sure you pay attention to your feet and that they are not wet and such. Because with little protection outside the thick layer of leather and your ultra long and thick wool socks. There is a serious chance of frostbite if they wet or similar. Now wonder why your backup socks are on your uniform rather than your back pack... *Winter warfare:* Thin white over uniform type garment that is worn over your pants and under the combat west that only serves as camuflation. An addition here is that you actually attach a bulky sleeping bag under your combat pack if needed. If you only have access to over footwear bags or similar. I would say dont bother because they are bulky and dont work at night (air inside gets cold because you are stationary), but if you have bought or traded for real US military "bunny \ mickey mouse" type boots I would argue wearing those. With the latter you almost dont even need to worry about wet feet while sleeping. That is how good they are. During the summer they will drain you of energy though and prolonged wet and hot feet can cause other issues as well. *What you dont do at a large military field training area:* You dont use local water sources. While the classic lead poisoning is historical, there are a ton of other stuff modern day military are using that can cause or up to now have unknown impacts on the human body. Simplistic filters might not work well enough so why risk it. You dont cut down trees or anything of such that is still alive. You dont\do dig fox holes. You do some times dig fox holes, but these you have to cover again (sand first, then dirt) and you can only dig them in given areas, usually sub sandy areas. Yes, 10cm under the ground there is just "beach" sand in some areas. You dont light fires while on combat patrols. So bringing all these fancy metals or rocks to light one is pointless. No, you dont light cigarettes ether. Those that need nicotine use snus instead. Point is, you dont need all the "Wallmart" stuff, nor do you get it with your kit if you join the military. The rest you get for your main back pack is mostly just backup stuff like gas mask, tent equipment, backup clothes like "military regulated underwear" or stuff you dont use in the field like work uniform etc. Sleeping tents and such are usually squad level equipment ether carried by the squad with the main pack or mounted on vehicles.

[@superdave8248]

I was watching a video a while back and the subject matter was emergency stashes. What to put in them and how to conceal them. I left the video thinking two things. First, how you plan on digging that up without some type of entrenching tool (assuming you find the location again). Two, how do you plan on carrying that gear without a pack? There is something to be said about carrying and extra pack, but in a operation scenario I would assume you would only do this if you had a critical failure on your main pack and you need to transfer gear to the secondary one. But if you need to transfer gear, you were probably overloading the main pack to begin with and having a smaller pack isn't going to be of much help other than to store the most critical of items which you should have probably only been carrying in the first place.

Tip: Wear your weapon belt first then the big backpack, if you get in contact you can drop the big backpack asap without taking of your weapon belt. (And move quicker without losing time.) If you said it in the video sorry for repeating it.

[@ripperkon]

yorne v.v my point: if you do it like I did, then you can place the rifle on the back, on the side or even on a long arm when rappelling or crossing obstacles. You just have to get used to it. It’s simpler to put one arm out of the sling to free the backpack, than needing to get your backpack on the ground before you can change how you hold your rifle. And under the straps of a heavy backpack weapon slings can get caught Wasser and stop working and/or have more friction. But I think we can agree it’s also a matter of personal preference and training. But sticking to my experience I prefer weapon sling on top. But nevertheless, thx for the feedback.

Interesting video. I was in the American Army as a heavy mortar crewman. It was just too heavy to carry. Reconnaissance groups can carry all their stuff. I have a similar liquid gas stove. It is a multi fuel stove, M-1950 Squad Stove. I tried rubbing alcohol, whiskey & vodka, gasoline, petroleum solvents (Stoddard Solvent in the USA) and paint thinner. The gasoline was not so good. I had to completely disassemble the stove to clean out the carbon residue after each use. Plus, gasoline was mixed with "Tetraethyllead" decades ago. So you had to burn gasoline outside. Whiskey and vodka is diluted with water so it doesn't work very good. Rubbing alcohol worked but it did not make as much heat. Pure alcohol burned with a blue flame, it is almost invisible during daylight so be careful. All other combustable liquids worked very well. The best thing about liquid stoves is they work everywhere, all temperatures. Your English is much better than my German. Your doing great. There is a difference between American English and UK English. I say you are speaking more American English. These are some of the words that were difficult. The medical splint you demonstrated is called a "Sam Splint" in the US. This is the flexible, flat board you demonstrated on your right arm. Used to stabilize broken bones. The two types of fire starters are called Ferrocerium Rod and the second was a Flint & Steel. Google translated this: "Ferroceriumstange" and "Feuerstein und Stahl." This may not be a good translation. Most dictionaries don't have the technical words very often.

[@userequaltoNull]

The latter definitely worked, as translated literally back to english it reads "firestone and steel"

[@steb3250]

Half-way through the video i'm like "Good luck getting all that back in."

[@darthhodges]

To distinguish from IFAKs I have heard Americans call minor First Aid kits "boo-boo kits", boo-boo being a child's term for a minor scrape, cut, or bruise. A boo-boo kit would often have adhesive bandages, small gauze patches, medical tape, and antiseptic gel or liquid. The kind of stuff you would find in the kinds of home first aid kits sold at grocery stores.

[@chrisbordenke736]

Came down (up?) to the comments just to post some just like this. Good job posting something that doesn't really have easy translation. Glad you got to it first.

I carry both a boo-boo kit, plus an IFAK aimed specifically at combat trauma. I also carry a small kit ( about the same size as the two medkits ) aimed at SERE situations, all of these kits can molle onto my pack, or be secured to a belt, or molle onto my web gear.

1st line is not because you throw away your 2nd line. Its because you always wear your first line, even in your sleeping bag. When you want to streamline your kit, when you come back from an OP/EX: Put everything to the right you used, put everything to the left you didn't. When something end up on the left over and over rethink why you bring it. There are a lot of ounces in there that become pounds together. Good you have a light-weight lamp but if you bring 3 it defeats the purpose.

I agree, though I do know the necessity of some redundancy, whether you use it every time or not. This does seem like an awful lot of weight though.

Got some pretty high end gear there :)

Something new to try. You can make a little snack from the sugar and coffee creamer package in your MRE food pouch, Einmannpackung. We called it Ranger Cookies back when I was in the US Army. Make a cooking package from aluminum foil. Use about 10cm x 2cm strip of aluminum foil. Fold the aluminum foil in half to make a 5cm x 2cm package. Fold the edges to seal the cooking package. Put the sugar and coffee creamer in the package and mix thoughly. Fold the package closed to seal. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. The sugar and coffee creamer will melt together. It will harden as it cools. You may need to experiment to learn just how much time to cook it so the Ranger Cookies won't get burned. Try to make a light brown, Carmel color, (Karamellfarbe). Burned sugar is not good to eat. Makes a toffee like candy to enjoy with your coffee. Sort of like a biscotti for your coffee.

I was supporting an infantry unit going up Mt Fuji in January, and I assumed that the location we set down our main packs was the area we were going to sleep...I only packed a waffle-top.

Found this video pretty helpful. I tried to tally up the cost of all of this. Thinking around $4500 to $5500 without the rifle.

[@pelonehedd7631]

Yes excellent English. I was watching a video of two Young guys, i think they were Danish going to visit a WW2 German Cemetery and they spoke so well I would have thought they were born snd raised in The USA. One of My best friends and I went with His Grandmother to see The Green Berets when it first came out . When we left the theatre He said “ I want to be a Green Beret” His Grandmother Replied “ Steve You have to know six languages and You cant even speak English” . The song and Video Niemals by Martins Army reminds Me of how We became friends. One of My Stepsons is a career Special Forces “ Doc” . I believe The Military is a motivating learning environment with the best schools.

I really like the long form kit break downs and the full OD green load out looks awesome. Im surprised you didnt include a knife of any description easy to hand ( I assume there is one in your survival tin). personally I would have a fixed knife on my Second line and a Multi tool on my first line. Also out of interest as you did this video from a military perspective but did not mention armour. I assume you would class that as your second line gear? Cheers Also thanks for making the video in english!

[@jameslang1354]

Your English is great partner! Great video. I was in a LRRP unit in the 90's. We followed the same line gear methods. Cheers!

[@rhythmray7429]

when someone asks why I am interested in the military and want to join it's not because I want hollywood like action, it's because I want to go to the mountains, forests, deserts and carry out my missions. I would love a recon mission as much as any other. it does not matter even if I don't get a kill in my entire life or never faced direct combat. I would be happy to travel through these terrains with my mates

SAM Splint. It is a very versatile tool for first aid. It deserves a video of it's own. I would have a smaller cook kit in your day pack. A cup sized pot and a stick stove. Yes, you said you are testing that one. Leave the bigger cook set for the larger pack. This is not a criticism, but I used to get so much criticism for the amount of stuff in my cargo pockets. You put me to shame...lol Very well done. Thanks for the video.

[@scoobydodo793]

Best video ever! Really useful and well put together/professionally done. In your 24 hour pack, no poncho ? Ponchos are so useful, you can also get a real tree cammo net ponch, to cover the military poncho with the net poncho over the top, if not wearing it. Poncho set up, half bungees in each corner and peg it in the ground with tension, use a stick to raise one side. Optional use paracord from tree to tree waist hight and do the same as the set up 1 but raise the hood to the paracord, use a stick at one side if needed, for better view. Set up 1. You will have a mini waterproof OP. Set up 2 the same but 360° field of view.

[@jeffjefferson2676]

Ive got a tip for you! If you use a pressure cooker thats small (4L), you can cook beans if you put them in a half liter plastic bottle in the morning and add water and salt. That way you can have a really good meal with you that doesnt way anything in water and its high in protein. It really helped me out when i was "survivaling". I had a gas stove that takes the little cans. But without a pressure cooker, it took a long long time to get the beans done. Now i got a pressure cooker they are done in 15-20 minutes, i will do a timing video maybe, and then i will know for sure. But man, that thing can cook! I also tried to make a rocket stove out of tin cans, it also was a big succes, it initially gives of smoke, but after that it is clean burning. It worked great, it gave of a hotter flame than the stove could do. About the meal: I got all the different sorts of beans from the super market, salt (you need to have your salt if you do a lot of activity or you will see black and white and then faint...), some rice, and a little can (140ml) of concentrated tomato sauce, seasoning is optional, but recommended. I really bulked out from eating it when i had it about every evening, some people actually thought that i did steroids, but i never took it. A pressure cooker, a stove, beansmeal, a rocketstove. It is really worth it. For wiping, i would advice tissues, while they are easy in use.. cheap Anyway, I like your videos! Check out my video(there is but one video on the channel) i made about impregnating cotton fabric and how the paste is made. Greetings, Jeff p.s. You need some water for the tomato sauce, while it is thick, and you need to trow it in after you cooked the beans.

When I was in the USMC I was an Infantryman, I bought and used a folding sterno stove, now I use a Trangia and alcohol, I still have the same sterno stove, which by the way is what I call my Multi Fuel stove. I will use Heat Tabs and small bits of wood in it too. I carried the stove which folded flat and the sterno cans in my Butt Pack. I was in when the ALICE stuff was still being issued. Great video I enjoyed it. By the way your English is okay I had no trouble understanding you.
