This is excellent. This is this man’s system, it is his technique. I carried the exact same pack in 2003-2004 as a platoon leader. My outer pocket was my Steiner 8x40mm binoculars. I carried sustainment items such as food and water. Then I carried maintenance items such as a weapon cleaning kit. I carried some personal hygiene so my feet would survive. One extra pair of good socks and one extra good T-shirt. My comfort items were beanie, Field Jacket Liner, Snug Pak Softie 3 sleeping bag (tiny, like today’s “patrol bag”), and a poncho. I carried a map case with maps, protractors and map pens. I also carried a Lensatic compass, spare batteries, VS-17 signal panel. All the stuff in my main compartment I kept in a Old School waterproof bag. What I always carried was “leader gear,” maps, strobes, panels, binos, radio gear, pyro, compass, night vision, PL or PSG stuff. Most of my Joe’s carried extra ammo or food. Everyone had a “LeatherMan” or Multi-tool, and everyone was rocking a full sized knife and a tactical folder, or two. By the end of the tour we were sleeping in our MOPP suits because it was cold at night and that’s the only extra “warming” gear we had. Fun times. At this time we were also rocking super tiny, red filtered light and also decent sized non-filtered flashlights for searching (sized two CR123 batteries). We all carried extra CR123’s, AA’s and AAA batteries too. We did a lot of patrol preparations back then. Never carried an E Tool because “the enemy” couldn’t, or didn’t, drop effective fire on us. We never dug in, we just took positions, held them, and then moved out later. Thank you for your video, got me thinking, good to share.

A lot bigger than my fanny ALICE pack in the RSVN, 1966-67. (Tiny) I still carried between 60-85 pounds, without this kind of gear. (No plate, no vest.. BTW) My longest times in the field 46 and 56 days without a break. (ie What the hell is a "Patrol Base"? We moved almost every day and dug in every night, or out, two to six nights on LP or Ambush) 120+ Combat Assaults in 300 days in the field. My load included, e-tool, three quarts of water, bayonet, 480 rounds of 5.56 in 20 round mags in five ammo pouches-camera in the sixth), four frags, trip and parachute flares, 5-15 cans of C-rations (in old socks-tied off with old boot laces), M-16, tin pot, three hundred rounds of 5.56 in boxes in the pack, cigarettes, troxene heat tabs, spare socks, poncho, poncho liner, air mattress (if I could find one that didn't leak)... and two (or more) of the following... Claymore, M-72 LAW(S), and an 81mm motor round.... Hikin' 'n' Campin' ...

First thing you'll learn about patrols, your comfort items go out the window. I've had missions where all i carried was ammo, water and an MRE or 2. I've also had missions where i hardly carried any extra combat equipment. I loved those missions. I had all kinds of comfort stuff. But end of the day patrols still suck. I'm just glad I don't have to do patrols in the mountains of Afghanistan anymore. To this day, I refuse to do hikes in the mountain's with friends or family. I'll only go for hunting.

Anyone who thinks patrolling is fun should go rucking with a 80-100lb pack, with body armor, ammo, equipment, weapon/s. All while remaining quite, alert, and praying to God that no one shoots at you, no one shells you, no one steps on a mine, and of course there is always the possibility of casualties........... Oh yeah, and everyone you encounter is a potential threat until they are not....... That part is super fun........

My patrol pack is nearly identical list (I also use the TT tan 3 day pack). This was something we used for AOO in Ranger school and have since continued. I keep the cleaning kit on my warbelt, and do 6 magazines. I don’t use a battle board but I have something similar that achieves the same purpose. Special equipment obviously varies. This also mirrors a quick ‘bug out’ for non-standard patrolling or to have in a vehicle. Good video.

Perhaps to stop traveling light freeze at night you might add a couple of packages of hot hands. Light weight and flat at the bottom of the woobie dry bag. I have found them helpful when the cold front runs in on that extra day you were not going to be out. Even with the 30-40 degree shift from hot dessert day to night. Just an idea.

Good to see a realistic load rather than some BS fantasy kit for once. Also good points about the extra gear you get to add such as support weapons ammo (machine gun link, mortars, LAWs etc) and other gear such as radios, NVGs etc, and the fact that it's not fun walking around all day with all that kit on. We were carrying an average of a hundred pounds every day in Afghanistan.

As a commo guy/RTO who was down on the line with the Infantry, I can confirm that patrolling and movement to contact sucks ass. Having to carry two radios in my ruck or assault pack on top of one on my kit for running ATAK, along with all the spare batteries and other comm equipment adds up. Oh and all the essential stuff like food, water, ammo, and any other BS my commander doesn't want to carry lol.

Finally a real infantry patrol basic load out. I use a medium ALICE with two MOLE sustainment pouches on each side, and bungee cords. I run the same kit etc. A MOLLE hip belt can be mounted to the ALICE frame but I’m not in the military anymore. So my loadout will never be really heavy. I run a belt and suspenders. The Alice sits on my Saw pouches on the belt. A SAW pouch can hold a gortex top. Another can hold watch cap, gaiter, spare socks. Thermal top and bottom, or thin fleece top, and spare gloves. I safety pinned an SOL Mylar double sized heat sheet to my poncho liner ( which has a large opening for me to stick my head through so I can wear it with the poncho. I reinforced the Mylar with clear packaging tape where it is safety pinned and taped around the neck slit. The SOL is quiet, strong and inexpensive. It comes in orange or green. I like the woombie on the out side and the Mylar against my clothing to retain heat. If it rains you you can turn it inside out or flip the shiny side to green. I also carry a tan zip folding foam mattress. Spray painted it to match leaf liter. In the winter use the zip between you and the ground and an air matt in your tarp cowboy camping / ranger roll, or in your bivy. I enjoyed the vid and Subd

pretty much i have the same equipment. I just use a 40 lt pack for 48 hours without having too much bulk on the back. I put size up and it is much more comfortable. I have a smaller survival kit where i also have some pills The Goretex if you treat it right it doesnt loose its properties. i have used mine in very difficult terrains for 15 years without an issue. In small patrols many a time (especially in OPs) i have slept only with a jacket and not on sleeping bag or bivi bag. i always have an extra flashlight, and i have a case for my ballistic glasses.

One thing you don't carry here is a way to procure fresh water. I realize grunts usually have a water buffalo trailer following their training maneuvers. But most ppl don't, so instead of Nalgenes I carry at least one Seychelle water filter bottle or canteen, and for longer trips I carry a filtered tube to collect water from puddles or trickles of streams. Seychelle makes these for DoD contracts and they offer radiation filters for water; seems like a legit carry these days. Peace.

To be real though. For any sort of guerrilla warfare against a "red team", you're probably going to rely on physical messages via messengers or quick ham radio coded messages rather than utilizing a plethora of comms equipment. As far as explosives go, I would probably only envision a single ied device cooked up by bubba for the entire squad/platoon sized patrol for patrol base defense, or for use by the security element or breaching force during a raid. So the way I see it, unless you need a lot of warming layers and sleeping systems for extreme cold weather; probably the only things going in my pack is a few spare mags and just food and water. As for bringing a lot of extra ammo. Unless you're building caches or camps for long term use/storage. I feel that the idea of slugging it out with the enemy if found out LRRP style isn't really an option since you wont have any real support or backup. Making every op you go on a literal do or die "we either complete the mission or we get found out and surrounded". Because of that, I'd probably lean towards keeping the overall loadout light simply because I know that if you get caught out there and can't immediately run away and break contact, you're kind of F'd regardless. So might as well die a little bit more comfortably than anything else.

As someone who has deployed multiple times as an 0311 and seven years and an 0321 man, in very non permissive environments, I never understood why former grunts complain so much to civilians how much things “sucked”. You’re supposed to be a stud, a warrior, act and walk as such.

@@TheGruntPerspective I remember doing a mission in Iraq. I was a Chief Scout of our platoon in a Marine LAV BN. In coordination with two of our platoons vehicles which would be supporting us by radio (and potentially with the main 25 mm cannon once positioned) but hidden in a location that was several kilometers from the highway (really flat featureless section of desert in western Iraq with a hard rock crust that you could not dig into). I also think we had our Companies 81 mm mortar tubes and mortar men on standby supporting us because I remember they would shoot illumination rounds for us on a few occasions. Interestingly it was almost exactly where the British SAS patrol BravoTwoZero was compromised in the first gulf war. It’s a pretty famous story/incident. They wrote a book (which I read on an LSD heading to invade Iraq in 2003 coincidently) and made that patrol into a movie. Exact same location in Iraq. Anyway… Four Marines were going to be put into a hole/rock cave sort of terrain feature about 600 meters from a known IED emplacement (overpass) location on the highway. It was the only concealable location we found after scouting the location with the vehicles the day prior. We were going to drive the vehicles to the hide site where they would establish a radio watch and camo the vehicles. The scouts were going to move to the hole in darkness and stay in the hole camouflaged for 72 hours. The team is taking x2 m240 (from the Pintel mounts of the two vehicles supporting), a prc-119 radio, a pile of batteries, an entire 20 liter water jug, a substantial section of camouflage netting/stakes and Etool, smoke grenades, claymore mines, thermal sight (serialized), binos(serialized) , compass (serialized gear), you get the point. Lol. Our “rucks” for the movement to and from our hunter killer hide site essentially were stripped ALICE frames and shelfs with a 20 liter water jug strapped onto it and camo netting or tarp or boxes of 7.62 linked ammunition or the PRC radio, etc. My point with the rambling story (besides being interesting) is to reinforce what you said. What you end up carrying is never what your mind envisions or you would prefer. You carry what is needed to kill the enemy. It’s always soul crushingly heavy and it seldom accommodates items that would make your existence less miserable. 👍🏻

hey man, im just a civilian but you popped up in my feed and I thought Id see what I could learn about how much extraneous shit I carry around with me. You're rolling only with clothing, poncho and liner for shelter/cover cause you have so many other mission essentials like equipment. The discomfort of sleeping on a hard surface with no mat aside, is the temperature loss through conduction to the ground really severe or does the poncho liner do an OK job at that considering it's synthetic?
