How To Set Up a Battle Belt, Combat Tested by a Green Beret

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

I mentioned this in the livestream, but I really like this idea of placing essentials on a belt. This has given me a few ideas. Thanks for the tip(s).

[@bernardbarr2354]

We did have such a thing prior to GWOT. 7TH GRP Advisors wore pistol belts with kit during the 80s.

[@riffedwood5597]

The knife freaks want to see the blade brother

[@robertallen3031]

Funny mine is set up 95% the same. Knife location is different. Always good to have your perspective.

[@resolutejku]

Thanks for sharing. One big takeaway for me is the retention. My belt is setup for fast access at the range. Need to ensure my mags don't fall out if I'm running/moving.

[@danielney6]

love it! now plate carrier/ chest rig / molle vest setup. thanks!

“It’s a freakin’ marker, guys! I drew that.” 😂

Watching this to prepare for my Defensive Pistol training with Mike and Fieldcraft In may, excited is an understatement

What's up Beret just a Marine forced Recon sniper here! 1986 to 1992. We used old Vietnam era Allis Web duty belts and suspenders with shoulder straps all nylon. We had 1968 1969 1970 1075 stuff! When my dad was in the Marines in 1950 at 15!!! Lol. They sent him home at 17 he re in listed 1952. They sent him back to Korea! In 1965 he was sent to Vietnam 1st Marines 2nd Battalion the first major Battalion to arrive in Vietnam in March. Dad was 30 at the time E-8! He had WW2 NAVY MARINE CANVAS CRAP AND SNAP ONS. STEAL CANTEENS NOT PLASTIC! MY GRANDFATHERS AND UNCLES USED THAT STUFF IN WW2 1941 TO 1945. IN 1968 THE GOVERNMENT GAVE THE ARMY NYLON ALLIS BELTS AND POUCHES. AND ROOK AND BUT PACKS. BUT MARINES STILL USED THE CANVAS CRAP TO 1970. I HAD ALL PLASTIC 1968 CANTEENS NYLON POUCHES. M-14 NYLON POUCHES. M-12 NYLON FLAP HOLSTER. NYLON SUSPENDERS AND SHOULDER STRAPS. MY M-67 K-Bar was on my left shoulder harness and compass pouch was on my right shoulder harness. I had a nylon mag pouch for my Colt 1911A1 45 ACP. My nylon rook sack or butt pack. First aid kit, cleaning kit, mess kit, grenades, mirror, socks and some new MRES that came out in 1982 or 1983. The service men since 2005 have these new safe life defense belts and taco pouches. New vests helmets and Velcro stuff! Your lucky! I'm happy for this next generation of military men and woman!

[@dbowman35]

Funny, I know I am on the right track. My belt setup was already put together in a near-exact same format before I watched this. Keep at it my dude.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Great advice as always Mike. My battle belt is set up very similar to your and this video gave me some extra insights, because I am always looking for ways to make my systems better.

[@BoiseG]

Are there any videos on how to assemble the belt? For instance, how did you mount the knife behind your IFAK, and how did you mount the plastic magazine holster to the molle belt? Thanks!

[@joshmajor8662]

Lol it’s funny, I make holsters for a living yet I still don’t have a quick access battle belt!! 🤦‍♂️ haha 😂 got one, just never finished it!! I think it’s time I do that. Thanks Mike!! 👍

[@donnie6563]

How do you attach your winkler behind a pouch?

[@danner209]

Thank you Mike!

[@Unvaccinated100Percent]

I see keyword: GREEN BERET. My wild guess is it's Mike Glover aka Mr. SPECIAL FORCES.

[@Doc-Ock2003]

The only thing I would add is a second tourniquet that can be accessed by your non dominant side.

[@mattlee87]

A lot has changed in a decade. Padded belts like these are the way of the dinosaur.

[@richardwang474]

Whats the alternative? Im seriously asking.

[@MarxMan0o]

Yeah, what’s the new wave then?

[@jonathanclaypool563]

Hey Mike how did you mount your knife on your belt?

[@silvercommander]

Very carefully 😂

[@shawn4101]

Nice video, thanks. Good setup. RLTW!

[@patrickcotter945]

I like the set up except i like the gun holders and ar15 Mag holsters to be both leg drops , and suspenders holding up the belt

[@robertmorano2372]

I know it's a big ask, but I wish more training courses would come to NY.

[@TheSickjits]

Lmao good luck. The only reason we have decent courses out here in California is because there's still a decent gun culture and TBH lots of high profile people that want to learn how to shoot while they're spending money in LA and Laguna. NY is impossible bro you'd probably have a better chance driving to Connecticut or NJ.

[@sf-gs3iz]

Who wants to go to New york...no one

[@jukio02]

Hell, yeah. I'm ready for war, now.

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

My dump bag is mostly filled with junk food! I'm always eating 😂

[@ricko6514]

What are your thoughts on having the trauma pack (with velcro detachment) and CAT right in the middle behind you in case your dominant hand is disabled? I know "whatever works for you" but just wondering if there are any advantages to placing it dominant side vs neutral.

[@DaVinci740]

great information, my biggest take away from this....where can i get that shirt?

[@starriderstudios]

I used another video you made to outfit my battle belt, this reminds me i need a dump bag

[@harrydexter8426]

👍😊🇺🇸Good info. Thank you!

[@bushcraft6884]

Hello Gentlemen. Why you didnt make a Set Up Movie about the Duty Belt from the EMS and the Police or Sheriffs Department?

[@bryanutility9609]

Whatever belt my friend insisted I buy doesn’t adjust length at all. The internal belt has to be removed entirely with all the f’n velcrow 🙄 just to adjust the belt at all even 1”. WTF. Is this normal?

[@magi7774]

whats the need for a pistol if you have a rifle. which is the prime battle tool

[@Berry-gp2co]

[@PewPewRealEstate]

Can you reach your tourniquet with your left arm? Just incase your right arm is not working?

[@marktechsci]

Where can I order the med bag with the MG Label?

[@AgoristsAxioms]

make a sugar free version of your iced coffee pounders. just got a few cases delivered to the food bank i volunteer at. so ultimately, just want to say thanks on the behalf of the people of Bangor PA!

[@bds123087]

Does anybody know what model of Winkler knife this is? I’m torn between getting the Winkler field knife or the belt knife. What are some of the pros and cons?

[@tonyslaughter8954]

What if you configure it out for long term?

[@apatriot1762]

Is it the same belt?

[@Rolosecurityco]

Why all the black rifle coffee drops? What about FCS lol

[@Eleven10Citizen]

Brcc’s been paying him to do these installments for free range American, (also brcc owned), but I think it’s great for young guys who don’t see much of this content out here for the freebie

[@shawno3681]

Honest question.... how is this different, practically speaking, than the old LBE from the 60's - 90's? Functionally I have everything there on my old LBE...

[@jeremiahkindel9301]

If it works for him and he has built the muscle memory for all the gear and it's use. Why on earth would he need the latest and greatest.

[@trawdadawg]

I’ve always wondered why the majority of ppl have the pistol mags in front of the rifle mags? I I feel like reaching for your pistol mags are last resort.

Black rifle coffee? Isn't that the coffee business that went woke and condemned Rittenhouse, and now is desperate to win back its consumers? Isn't the owner a former CIA guy too?

Yep
