Minuteman Line Gear for SHTF and Militia

[@333ridge]

Another good one. No legal carry here, .22 semi-auto's only, and some limitations on shotguns, but still have kit , and can do similar but much more bushcraft orientated over here. Even our knife carry is severely limited. So beware of losing your rights folks, especially the 2nd. Regards from the Irish Republic...which is somewhat debatable!

[@markchase5323]

Are you limited to 22 S, L, LR of can you use any of the rim fire cartridges. 22 Mag, etc. can be a big step up.

[@333ridge]

@@markchase5323 yeah Mark, only semi-auto's allowed are .22 though much larger for centre fire bolt actions. Only pistols are .22 and loads of restrictions including no carry permits. So range use only. No human shaped targets and no tactical training either.

[@mrd7067]

I have heard of different ways on how the line system is done. We used a method close to yours: Line 1: Things on your person and in your clothes and not only your pockets&belt. You could add a few E&E things which, depending on the application wouldn`t be a bad idea (if you`re interested i have learned a few very interesting&usefull things about this in the last few months that could be interesting/usefull for preppers/everyone and i could write things down here). Depending on what we did we wore a smock, which was in a way line 1 but i`d call it 1b . A strange but interesting piece of clothing&concept. Line 2: Primarly the LBE, whatever it is. Line 3a: Daypack/assaltpack (about 30 liter, might be bigger or smaller). If line 3b was worn it was under the cover of the backpack. Line 3b: 110L backpack. Probably simmilar to yours. Line 4: Vehicle/storage (although not called as such and usually not included in the line system).

[@deangullberry5148]

There's two groups that I've heard of. One is a bunch of former military types, out doing it. The other is near useless. They take donations to petition the U.N. H.R.C., of which the majority of the members are exactly where the first group has to go. For the life of me I can't keep their names straight.

[@BearIndependent]

The ones we support are the ones literally kicking in doors, detaining scumbags, and rescuing people. I know some of their members personally and support them out of my own personal checking account, have been for years prior to Patreon. The stories they can tell would break your heart and I love them for meeting evil with violence and rescuing the innocent.

[@deangullberry5148]

Bear I've seen some interviews they've done. Occasionally they pop up on the radio. I'd like to support them if you have a link. Honestly, everytime I hear about them i kick myself for trashing my body in my youth. I'd try to run with them in a heart beat. I had to pull over driving home from work one morning. When I heard about what they were doing in Syria I stopped to pray for them on the side of the road.

Tacticool is not the correct description.. that's reserved for those that want to "Look" tactical, but really know nothing or have no need for it. This is not the term used for someone who actually lives and does it, meaning, he doesn't just look the part like a wannabe. :)

[@craigtegeler4677]

Hi Bear! Long time no see! Although your combat line gear load-out is a "heavy 55", it is quite awesome and quite the "Cat's Ass" if I may say so myself! The overall thought that went into your gear make-up is most awesome too! I would only hope to assemble to build or put together someday, something almost 3/4 the weight modeled after a scout or patrol type version. Would that challenge you or give you any strange new way of or idea as such to model a different style load-out system?? I know that you are indeed pretty damn hardcore but try and conger up something that could very well suit the lighter alternative that is suggested! The overall makeup of the weight that really tips the scale is perhaps/surely the rife, sidearm, water and radio. Mags n ammo might be pushing 9-11 pounds?? Radio 1.75 lbs? If you had to really scat in an all-fired hurry, a range of 3 miles, you could shave some time quite expeditiously. I hope that Christmas time is all great for you and your family! Great video and once again: "Cat's Ass"!!! Keep up the great work and God Bless!

[@TheRevoltingMan]

Great video. If I may quibble, and it's definitely quibbling and probably semi-heretical, why would the pistol stay on after line 1? I heard you say you don't like to have to use it (and I agree whole heartedly with you) so wouldn't more rifle ammo, food, water etc. be a better use of that weight? And also, I have found a shovel to be indispensable. I would want one on my line 3.

[@deangullberry5148]

If you're knee deep in the two way range with "targets" inside 25 yards (some say 50) and you jam, or run dry, side arm transition is faster than any reload or remedial action. Especially in MOUT

[@TheRevoltingMan]

That is a good point. I question if the average guy, and by that I mean me, is going to be well enough trained to still not be better off sticking with the rifle.

[@deangullberry5148]

The key is to let your gear evolve. I gave myself Hell, trying to stick with 90's tech. Practicing transitions is easy.

[@raysponenberg8458]

Certain situations may make a handgun a more practical weapon than your long arm.
