How To Make a RECCE Rig

[@jedi7489]

This channel is criminally underrated. Bro, seriously, great job. Amazing.

[@thriftyoperator637]

Thanks

[@nathandrel]

Thank you for putting this video. It was a catalyst that pushed me to get my first sewing machine and start to make my own gear. As someone mentioned below, your channel is truly underrated. Thanks again for sharing the knoweledge!

@@nathandrel that’s awesome! I’m glad you’ve found it useful.

I just want to thank you for making these kind of videos, Im doing a naked snake costume and really don't want to spend a bunch on a chest rig and your videos are really helping me to get a basis on how to do it!

[@thriftyoperator637]

Had to Google naked snake to figure out why a reptile would need a recce rig lol. Glad to help.

[@gentlemachinist1970]

So I followed this step by step (except sandwhiching the buckle webbing in the body panel and using a foam insert) and the end result is great. My stitch lines are a little curvy and I could've definitely used less thick webbing for the molle and buckle attachments but it came out pretty good anyway. I'm using a sailrite lsz1, 1000d cordura nylon in coyote, fastex buckles, and sailrite heavy duty polypropylene webbing.

[@thriftyoperator637]

Awesome! I’m glad it turned out.

[@NPS69]

Ayyyy I was hoping you'd make something like this. I'm loving your vids, keep making cool stuff my dude.

[@thriftyoperator637]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hnz666]

Great! Already did one, now the second! Thanks for providing this info to us!!

[@thriftyoperator637]

No problem. I’m glad you found it useful

[@bradbolluyt9569]

Planning to embark on hand sewing this sometime soon let's see how it goes, making mine coyote, considering adding dangler attachment velcro

[@thriftyoperator637]

Very cool

[@obh7762]

Fantastic tutorial, I'm going to try my hand at this. Doubt you'll see this due to the video age, but I do have a question(s): What kind of foam are you using for the insert, where can I buy some, and is it necessary? I've got the other materials but I don't know if not adding foam would cause problems.

[@thriftyoperator637]

It is wood flooring underpayment. Any flexible thin foam will work.

Hey, great vid as always. Any first aid/ifak or tourniquet holder coming by any chance? As always, keep on posting.

[@thriftyoperator637]

Maybe a TQ holder. Lots of the pouches we’ve made could be used for a IFAK

I'm about to build a custom scr from surplus pouches and a fat strap h harness, with two 3 mag molle plackards with the back modified with a mesh liner back with a zipper on the inside edge for admin pouches. But I'd pay to buy one you made set up the m this way.

[@thriftyoperator637]

I appreciate the offer but I don’t have time to take on any custom work. It sounds like you have a good idea of what you want so I bet you could knock it out pretty well yourself.

tell us a little bit more about the sewing machine,can you use any machine or just juuki and the other high end machines to sew the nylon?
