My New Lightweight 2024 Belt Setup for Airsoft

So with my recent diagnosis of Stage 4 Bowel Cancer i've had to re-think my airsoft setup with a view to making it lightweight but also equally functional. I also manage to get around some of the niggles I had with the original belt setup that you may be experiencing too, so sit back and enjoy my look into making the most practical lightweight belt setup for my requirements, and maybe yours too.
This was filmed a couple of weeks ago so I am no longer using the plastic water bottles, thanks to those that pointed this out on my last video.
Also my rant half way through the video about the Haley Strategy pistol mag pouch was because one of the main features of the pouch was that it holds 1911 and Glock mags with no changes to the system, the only issue I have is that I never run a 1911 style pistol and so the harder drawer just isn't worth it.
have a great day everyone 😊

[@999Remi]

You may feel weaker but you 100% look a whole lot healthier, and you’ve already proven the doctors wrong, keep doing what you’re doing 🔥🙏

[@brocKain]

Yeah, but isn't the prognosis a hypothetical of going without treatment?

[@StarFuryG7]

​@@brocKain What do you mean? Did he indicate somewhere that he stopped chemotherapy? He's also completely changed his diet.

[@vidarberg2050]

@@StarFuryG7 The covid-jabs are giving people torbo-cancer, millions will go... :(

[@halion4487]

⁠​⁠@@StarFuryG7he means that a doctors estimate of 3 months would be how long a patient would be expected to survive without any treatment. I’m not sure if that’s true, or if the estimate is with treatment. But I’ve seen no indication that he has stopped anywhere to answer that.

[@ZweiSpeed]

Ollie does seem to look significantly healthier than he had in some previous videos. I don't want to give any sort of false hope, but the power of positivity and continuing to do what he enjoys is almost certainly helping him along with the dietary and treatment regimens he's pursued. I'm hopeful he steals as much *good* time as possible from this condition, and prayerful for a miraculous full recovery.

[@HyperLethal0100]

hey ollie, dont wanna talk on the cancer too much but,i had something too share. My mother had stage 4 colon cancer. was given 4 months left, she fought hard, used everything at her disposal, ate ONLY geens and healthy supplements, and got the chemo, and the surgery. shes still around 10 years later, in fact shes starting a new career this month... the doctors gave her 4 months....DO NOT LET THESE DOCTOS TELL YOU ITS OVER, THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT HER! KEEP FIGHTING MY FRIEND! love.

I’m not into airsoft as I am a 51 year old disabled woman who cannot walk. But I’m interested in how your doing as I see you made it to 3 months. Great job!! Keep up the good spirits. I think keeping your mind occupied with airsoft is also important and good for your health. More power to you!!

[@Jutulind]

I just want to tell that we are all with you here. I lost my grandfather to cancer. And one of my sweetest friends - she was 12 when she left. I can not possibly feel your situation - noone can. But I keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you. I sure hope we will not lose you. If we do - I will light a candle. And think about all we have lost. Not just you.

[@neekgate]

I've also just updated to a lighter set up and boy does it feel good being comfy (other than the mk23 suppressor that jams into my leg when I sit down)! Your new setup looking nice and comfy too, I'm jealous of that bison belt. This hobby brings so much pleasure to me and I know it does to you as well, seeing you continue to enjoy it is so lovely and I truly believe it will keep you going. Much love and keep on rocking on

[@OllieTalksAirsoft]

I love that you found my secret video!! The belt really is excellent, if you could fit a mk23 in a t-rex arms suppressor holster that would be awesome but you'd need to put an X300 on it and I think the mk23 needs an additional rail for that so may not be viable. but the leg shroud moved up to the thigh/hip is a winner for me 100%.

[@neekgate]

@@OllieTalksAirsoft It's on a double tap retention holster currently which works great, but I have been looking at the t-rex and deadly customs holsters. To be honest I think the issue is just that the mk23 is bloody massive! Maybe this is an excuse to buy the gen5 marui glock 🤣 Again sending love and prayers bro

You look healthy ollie. I didn't realize you're the same guy I watched a while ago! My uncle was an airsoft enthusiast. He used to do crazy things to air rifles to make them over powered. He ended up getting them confiscated by police, and was almost barred from the club. He never did that again. Going to give more of your videos a watch while I work. Thank you for doing these videos while going through your battle. Your strength shines.

Yes, cáncer needs sugar, glucoeçse to stay Alive. Plenty of vegis And good meals

[@assass7012]

I can vouch for this. I don't have cancer myself and I'm just doing keto for health reasons/to lose weight. But before I started I had years of terrible bowel pain and, to put it as nicely as possible, stomach issues. Since I started 4 months ago my stomach never hurts anymore and my, er. . . Bowel movements have been healthier than ever. Feels weird to talk about it like that but it's the best way to articulate it lol.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

The unfortunate thing is, your body still makes Glucose on a Keto diet, as we need it to survive. It's called gluconeogenesis. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) is another Cancer/Tumor fuelling hormone, and it is make in the body when we eat any type of Protein..

[@BarbarianInvicta]

[@brocKain]

Ollie is f*cking super human. Not in physiology but his mind, optimism, and will power. In those things he's basically Wolverine. But even when wolverine was dying of adamantium poisoning he still fought for his daughter and what was left of the mutant race. Ollie has that spirit. Also, watch "Logan" to understand my references lol

I dont know you and i dont do air soft i just stumbled on your videos. But you seem like a really great guy, i seen you made it through your 3rd month prognosis, keep strong brother. I truly believe the lord will lay his hand on you and heal you. My boss was diagnosed with a final stage brain cancer in 2012 and he made it! He has been cancer free since around 2017.

[@danielsvensson7174]

Very nice setup, I've also opted for more lightweight gear the last few games (can only play a couple of times a year). In the beginning I thought I'd be in a world of hurt unless I wore plate carrier or thick clothing, but found that it's such a drag with all the heat, sweat and weight. Now it's easier to stay mobile and I feel that get more out of the games. Less gear, more play! I run a Snigel belt with magazines and dump pouch, and like you a leg holstered sidearm. Best wishes and good luck with your skirmishes!

[@Blueblackngold]

The Ultimate Champion

[@robinlee9272]

I like the full 2024 belt set up. I’d have guessed much higher weight. 2 lbs when wrapped around the waist seems so much easier and allows for more mobility. You cut just abound an entire pound and it will make a huge difference. The thin belt portion of the belt may take a bit of getting used to, but honestly, the lighter one looks more stable on you, even as you bend and move around. Nothing moves and everything is in place. I just had to make an edit. I see you KZbin award on the wall in the background. AWESOME!!!!!

[@prestonduke1371]

Huh? Without chemo, he most likely would be dead. It's literally the main thing keeping him alive. Sure, the diet helps but nowhere near chemo. It's not like a special diet is going to significantly alter the course of any given cancer... Nothing but hope for Ollie though, I cant imagine what he must be going through. He truly is a warrior.

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

@@prestonduke1371 I had stage 3 throat cancer in 2020. I had 30 rounds of radiotherapy and only two of chemotherapy and made a full recovery. I doubt very much chemotherapy is what's keeping Ollie alive.

[@prestonduke1371]

@DanHunterSportsWriter No disrespect intended, but stage 3 throat cancer has a drastically higher survival rate than stage 4 colon cancer.... Ollie needs chemotherapy and everything, including the kitchen sink thrown at what he's battling. Even then, it'll only extend the time he has left. He has a terminal prognosis... I truly hate to say it, but it'll only get worse.

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

@@prestonduke1371 have you actually had cancer?

[@prestonduke1371]

@DanHunterSportsWriter No, I thankfully haven't and i truly feel for the people who have to battle such a thing.... Although, I don't know how that changes the point? What I said is still true. Stage 3 throat cancer has a much higher survival rate than stage 4 colon cancer... It's a simple fact 🤷 In Ollie's situation, there's no possibility of removal/ surgery and chemo in combination with other treatments won't fully cure stage 4 colon cancer.... All treatments at the moment will simply improve and extend his quality of life. Eventually, though, he will succumb to his cancer. I wish him nothing but the best for the remaining time he has left, and I hope it's many years 🙏
