[@joeygay7115]

The mags on the pack is a good thing. Esp if your buddies run out of ammo they can grab one from you without you taking your eye off the target. Cool video. Ty for your service as well

[@StrainXv]

Why is my buddy wasting ammo?

[@ccc9139]

Kyser well if you and your buddy are in a firefight and he runs out of ammo, then it’s probably a good idea to let him use your ammo. The reason for this is 2 fold the more people you have shooting on your side the better and why let your buddy have an empty gun during a firefight? That’s like saying “sorry no ammo for you, go die”.

I would recommend 1 or 2 MREs in your third line gear.

[@Phoenix_Atlas]

1 MRE in first line bag. You could be out for a week without notice.

[@myrthmaker]

Great video. I would recommend gloves. I was issued the Wiley-X CAG fire resistant hard knuckle gloves but I prefer the Mechanix Tempest soft knuckled gloves which are leather/nomex and are also fire resistant. I have done everything with those gloves from clearing brush, maintenance on the ship, wrenching on my vehicle and standing security detail. If you mess up your hands it’s not a great time.

[@PreparedAirman]

I used to run mechanics gloves until i found SKD Pig Alpha gloves. I have been running them for about 5 years now. The Pig Deltas are pretty good aswell.

[@chrism6904]

Thanks for the video! Imma need to make a faraday cage myself, just keep forgetting lol 2 questions. When doubling up the ear protection, can you still hear the "communication" with the Peltors, when people talk? And which radio/PTT do you use with the Peltors as well?

[@PreparedAirman]

Operationally i use 152s but for training on my own i use a uv5r. They make converters and adapters for it to work. For the first set of ear pro i use Surefire EP4s and i leave the small ear canal caps open it limits noise but still allows me to hear comms and most ambient noise. I only dubble up on ear pro if i know i will be shooting indoors, not when im just at an outdoor range. but thats just me. For the PTT the one i use is no longer made but if your look around and use peltor to uv5r PTT you can find some ranging for 20 to 150 dollars.

[@waylonk2453]

I reccommend the TYT TH-UV88 handheld radio instead of the Baofeng. It produces a cleaner signal, and it's priced the same at $30. These have actually gone out of stock several places, but you can still find them on eBay. (Here's an info page: www.buytwowayradios.com/tyt-th-uv88.html) search "TH-UV88" on eBay. Also note that you need your HAM radio license to transmit (and stay out of trouble with the FCC for the time being). It's a $15, 35-question test that local amateur radio clubs administer, so get a group of buddies and go get licensed together: www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session I would suggest buying a handful of them (3-4) and keeping them around for emergencies. 2-10 miles range, but if you get a repeater set up it'll be even more (a LOT further). Also if you want a higher capacity battery for extended run time, here is the link: www.buytwowayradios.com/tyt-tyt-batt-uv88-hc.html I've been trying to decide which radio to get for a month now, but I've decided and got one of these coming in the mail shortly. They're small (smaller than a new smartphone), capable (5 watts output power and good receiver), and light (under 4 oz). This makes them perfect for putting in any sort of personal carry kit (get home kit, Bug-out-bag, minuteman kit). They also use the popular Kenwood 2-pin connector so you can find any number of adapters and accessories like push-to-talk and headsets if you're into that sort of thing. I highly recommend this radio!

[@analyzeit6882]

PreparedAirman, Did you know that the militia statutes actually detail what equipment a member of the constitutional Militia is required to possess and maintain? Unfortunately, about 99.9% of the population don't want to know the truth of the law in this matter. I have actually read some of the militia statutes, which are incredibly hard to find since neither the pro-2nd groups, nor the State want the People to know the truth. However, the original statutes read something along these lines; a rifle, 1 lb of powder, 20 ball, and accoutrements. Accoutrements would consist of patches, cleaning gear. Some units might have to have a tomahawk, sword, or pistol depending on what your unit was assigned. Of course, those requirements were changed in accordance with what the army would use. Heavy equipment such as cannon would be kept at the militia armory. That's where General Gage's troops were headed on April 19, 1775 when they were faced with Captain John Parker and his 70 militia men. Militia was not voluntary. The statutes were made uniform, after the Constitution was ratified, by the Militia Act of 1792 in accordance with Article I, § 8, Cl. 16. One more point, the National Guard is not Militia, nor can it be. The Constitution forbids this, and if you read U.S. v Miller carefully, Justice McReynolds points out that fact. National Guard are "Troops of War" that the States may keep "in time of Peace", by the consent of congress. However, like I said, no one wants the truth of the matter because it would actually require that the people of the community get up off their butts, and learn skills under the County Commander.

[@silentwolf9923]

@PreparedAirman, how much did your total loadout cost, just curious?

[@PreparedAirman]

MSRP probably 20k ish. Realistically 12k spaced out over a decade of acquiring all of it.

[@JGstunts22]

Can I ask why you would put the acog that has ballistics for a 14.5 barrel on a 11.5 and put the red dot on your 16 barrel ? I would swap those optics personally

[@PreparedAirman]

The 11.5 pistol is pretty much my do everything AR and my Bug out gun. Magnification is vastly superior to non magnification. And I need to transition states loaded legally. Plus a 11.5 has pretty similar ballistics, it's not that far off from 14.5. I still am easily able to make hits on a man sized target at 500m. As for the 14.5 I have, it's a clone of my duty rifle which I had an aimpoint on for a long time so that's where I left it.

[@roymorris03]

Nice assorted gear I was happy to see the Aries back pack.

[@mitchschutter4302]

Thank you for being in support of us civilians being Minutemen. I think there are significant undertones in the training industry that all a civilian should have is a carry gun, maybe a home defense AR, and a couple magazines for both. I think this comes from proud military guys that think civilians shouldn't have the things they have. We need to support each other. Minutemen are not SEAL's, Marines, or Delta, and we know that.

[@ninjagaming2036]

I too have military service from the guard, I actually just got back from a deployment as a scout and went to a certain location I want to keep OPSEC. But it always frustrates me when guys say "being in a militia is so stupid, you need to grow up". Okay well yes the national guard USED to be the militia, but not anymore. I guess technically they are but nonetheless you need citizens to be in a militia. The people are the last line of defense man. If military and law enforcement fail, then we rely on patriots to hold the final line. So yes, train brothers!

[@waylonk2453]

Right on! I'll be training for when the day comes.

[@reecealeck8314]

Can u give a link to where you purchased your nigh vision. There’s just so many websites. And maybe recommendations on better brands. It just seems weird how these are like 3k and then the next cheapest brand I can find are like 8k.

[@PreparedAirman]

I will be doing videos on Night vision devices coming up soon so stay subscribed but to give you some info now tnvc.com/ is where i get all my night vision products at. My recommendations are a Pvs14 Type unit. Very versatile. 1st - NGI/PVS-14 PHOTONIS 4G ECHO HYBRID PHOTOCATHODE (GEN. 2+) $2500 2nd- TNV/PVS-14 HARRIS (GEN3) PINNACLE $3200 3rd- TNV/PVS-14 L3 (GEN3) OMNI VIII WHITE PHOSPHOR (THIN-FILMED) $3500 Of course the more expensive the unit the better the quality is, at least in the 3 i listed above. If you have any questions just ask.

[@Carlos-Dangerous]

[@funnyfarmdad9997]

Carlos Danger are those good quality helmets?

[@Carlos-Dangerous]

@@funnyfarmdad9997 When CPG HELMETS was outed for basically bulk buying made in China ballistic helmets through Alibaba. HardHeadedVeterans went out of their way to make it known their kevlar shell (part that is ballistic) is USA made but the rails, shroud, and straps are Chinese to cut down the price w the idea being customers would buying quality USA made replacements over time as budget allowed. Ballistic Armor Company isn't clear on their website and I haven't asked them. Best is they say it is used by Coast Guard and US Army. But don't clarify whether it is gov't purchase that requires US made or customers who serve and bought on their own dime. It's possible Ballistic Co. is taking same route as HardHeadedVeterans w cheaper price. HHVs price tag used to be about $325 a yr ago, I know they were definately cheaper than B CO., then advertising drove up demand which drove up price. I plan to definitely get one this year from HHV in multicam black for night hiking/backpacking.

[@Carlos-Dangerous]

@@funnyfarmdad9997 TNVC has this helmet for $350. It doesn't have rails and you'll have to buy a shroud seperately once you decide to have single or 3 holes pre-drilled. But it was basically what SEALs used in IRAQ. tnvc.com/shop/revision-batlskin-viper-a1-achmich-high-cut-copy/

[@OhioPrepperOne]

PreparedAirman thanks!

[@pyrogothica3906]

Honestly that seems like a tad to much gear to me, mind you I'm looking at this from a militia oriented perspective. A minute mans kit must not only be exceptionally light, but should contain only the bare minimum of kit. Minutemen are the first to respond to a given threat, their job is to get there as soon as possible and then hold the line until backup and supplies can arrive. That being said, a minuteman can expect to be carrying less ammunition than they normally would, less basic kit, fewer rations, if any depending on the distance. Your pack needs to be small and light, and other than a bed roll should contain only the essentials. Minutemen can be said to be the elite within the militia because they are not only the first on scene but almost always outmanned, outgunned, and short on supply.

[@miketaylor5212]

i agree light and fast let the heavy show up later.

[@melvinplaysgaming4030]

PYRO GOTHICA but you need a lot for a sustained fight for more than an hour at most

[@TooManyChoices1]

So my kit is way more basic... My “end of the world as we know it”, “red dawn” set-up/plan simply involves surviving long enough to run into someone that knows how to use “ranger beads and a peq15”, while having enough gear and skill to hopefully be an asset and hoping they will know what the hell to do based on the current threat be it the bad aliens or zombies! lol 😂!

[@alexmcgregor2854]

[@EDCgearJUNKIE]

Have you found a reason use the ar carbine over the pistol in practical application or is the size reduction advantageous enough to leave the carbine behind?

[@PreparedAirman]

Personally i will probably always choose the ar Pistol due to size and weight and my environment. The only reason i keep the carbine around is because its an exact copy of my active duty rifle so i train with it all the time off duty to be proficient. In my opinion barrel length depends on your environment around you. I live in a neighborhood so i dont really have a need to run a 16+ inch barrel with 77gr rds to touch someone at 650yrds. but you may need that depending on your local atmosphere.

[@wvmountaineer69]

Can I ask you why you would rather have a bump helmet??? Thanks!!!

[@PreparedAirman]

Weight honestly. I run Pvs14 night vision alot. adding the weight of that plus a 2.5 lb ballistic helmet adds up and strains your neck over time. So im opting for a light weight setup. A Ballistic helmet is mainly designed to protect against shrapnel anyways.

[@wvmountaineer69]

Thanks for the info and for getting back to me, subscribed!!!

[@wvmountaineer69]

Are you talking about an airsoft type bump helmet?

[@PreparedAirman]

I looked at The ops core base jump and the Team wendy exfil. Pretty sure im going with the Team wendy. Due to the replaceable NVG mount and internal pads. www.teamwendy.com/products/helmets-accessories/helmets/exfil-ltp

[@Carlos-Dangerous]

PROTEC sells bump helmets pretty cheaply. Just search "Protec military helmet"

[@wolf14900]

So would you still go with an acog over a red dot. Im kind of torn on wha to run.

[@PreparedAirman]

I honestly depends on your location and overall what you plan to do with it. If I was back east I would consider a reddot due to the lack of long distance visuals you get and more trees and shrubs. But here in the north west/plains I prefer a magnified optic. It also depends on Night vision set up are you doing house to house stuff or traversing alot of land... normally I would recommend a reddot because they just are awesome but I. The end do what you think is best 😁

[@wolf14900]

PreparedAirman i was looking for my of a general purpose rifle. It wouldn’t really be used indoor as I normally have my shotgun for that. My area has a fairly even split of wide open farm land and somewhat dense forests

[@shelbysrvtech]

why a bump helmet?

[@PreparedAirman]

Ballistic helmets are too heavy while running NVGs. And they honestly only give you protection from shrapnel or lower velocity rounds. Depending on what scenario, task/mission i have the helmet might change but normally I prefer the bump.

[@devinlindberg253]

5.56 only holds its maximum lethality up to 180M with a 16” barrel. 5.56 does not work to its maximum effort below 2500fps. With a 62 grain shot from an 11.5 you are ballistically putting yourself at a disadvantage right from the start because it can not even shoot 2500fps out of the muzzle. That’s why I roll with 14.5 or 16 inch barrels because I’m in a more heavily wooded area and if I am taking a shot it is within 200M

[@PreparedAirman]

Everyone has a different environment and a different opinion.

[@PreparedAirman]

m855 leaves the barrel of a 11.5 faster then 2500 lol add 250 fps to that #. 10.3 with M855 is 2556 fps avg 11.5 with m855 leaves the barrel at 2773 fps average. 14.5 is 2886 fps average with m855. but DOD says 14.5 with m855 is 2970 fps..

Why would I want to leave my country? Who will take roughly 4.5 million whites? Who else will draw a line in the sand and say so far and no further? Didn't Kennedy say Do not pray for easier times. Pray to be stronger men? Many cant leave. Who helps them? This is just as much as my Country as the now far left anti white ANC and its hangers on like the EFF say it isnt. None of us wish for a crashed economy and likely a looming war over land taken. But, our Government has set us on this path when they said land taken from whites is just. Many many years ago before my time. We sung Ons Vir Jou Suid Afrika. Which is We for you South Africa. I will die here. We will die here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3Km4eBm8SNnKs@@americanwarrior7253

We don't care about Race. We care about people losing their homes and land over the fact they now "White". Our constitution adopted in 94 was made up to stop people having their property taken. Now they want to change the constitution.We shifted from Aparthied-white versus black to now a growing back versus white. People are prepping in secret to pull out of the big cities if it goes tits up. Again none of us pray for War. But imagine if after everything that has happened in the US all of a sudden Native Americans say all your land and assets will soon be taken away if you not native American. Do you think people will accept that? [e-mail] @@Carlos-Dangerous
