Great vid. Since you asked, would like to see extreme weather stuff-how to stay functional for combat/survival when primary threat is cold. Then extend it for on foot overnight(s)-bags, bivys, tents, etc. and how to use them effectively.

[@valtteri1520]

Casey Brown Layers, layers and layers have a lot of clothing layers. That's the thing I learned in the fdf (Finnish defense forces) so yeah below -40°F winters. If you're shit out of luck dig a hole in the snow and sleep there, eat pine needles and don't expose your skin to the cold if not absolutely necessary. If you fall into the water, don't panic and when you get out change quick. Crosdcountry skies are the best way to move around, not the normal ones get slmething thicker. Also if working with vehicles, keep a blowtorch ready so you can heat up the engine block, don't know how it works with civilian vehicles and all the plastics they nowadays have.

[@genericusername6859]

Casey Brown you won’t wear plate carriers in the extreme cold. Since you’ll need cold weather clothing you’d wear regular chest rigs or MAVs. Overheating is super easy with a PC and warming layers.

A lot has changed from my days in the ARMY. Very good information. I know a kid that is going into the Marines. I’ve been watching your video to check out gear that maybe I can send him once he makes it through his training and will be allowed to have his own personal items. Things like knives, GPS, Socks, titanium cups, MSR stoves. During Desert Storm I had an older brother (civilian but avid backpacker) send me some cool stuff. Not things that I would necessarily Carry on a foot patrol but made life better.

[@rudyeckert1]

I served from 03-07 and did two tours in Iraq using the interceptor body armor. At that time our command only let us use general issue gear. The most customization we were able to do was the multitools we bought. It really was a treat to get a new Gerber or Leatherman in the mail. Now I have no use for tactical gear but I cant help but watch your videos and drool over all of the more modern and far better equipment. Thanks for satisfying my itch. I will one day have the money to purchase stuff I don't need but unfortunately that time is still yet to come :( Keep it up!

[@danielbenington4814]

Thank you, I just got my plate carrier and I wasn't super sure where to adjust it to. I work in the medical field and I would say that your logic is sound, another reason to not stack mags on your front is because it shifts the weight even further forward away from your spine. That increases your chances of suffering a back injury, as well as making you less stable on your feet.

[@DesertPlinker]

[@thomassturgill2283]

video really helped me understand more about placement. I used to just have a shit ton of pouches everywhere. don't get me wrong they were used, just not in the right way. I had never heard of first and second line gear, but once you explained the concept it gave me a better understanding of where my more mission essential gear should go. keep up the great work man, always watching for more videos.

[@kellengirvin6641]

Great video Garand Thumb, very informative! I like the mantra *Stop Holes, Plug Holes, Make Holes.* Very simple way to remember what is important about setting up a PC. The clearance issue with pouches on the front is a particularly good point, I have heard stories of guys getting shot in the derriere because they could not get low enough. Another suggestion for anyone setting up a PC or any LBV is to just put it on and wear it and see how it feels. Run and jump and crawl in it if you have to. In my experience that is when you will know if a pouch set up is ideal or idiotic. _Looking cool is half the battle_

[@ReconB4V]

Don't use one if possible. lol

[@nomad5454]

ReconB4V ik lol not popular choice wanted to do a loadout for a shtf/survivalist situation with my rifle just not sure where to start

[@124moviesiwatch]

I would think much of the same philosophy would apply to a bolt action set up; only the specifics would change as needed. Ammo and/or mag pouches would different different. As most bolt gunners "shoot and scoot" you most likely would want to keep it light and low profile. Think first, what does a bolt gunner need, then choose the molle gear to hold that. Bad guys HATE snipers! I'm sure an entire video could be devoted to the sniper load out. Set-ups for precision bolt gun work typically don't require a lot of ammo.

[@EnriqSandoval]

[@mr3vak]

So I've watched some of your videos in the last couple days and have been enjoying them, but by far this has been the most straight forward one, which I really appreciated. I setup my rig in a lot of different ways and moved around as much as possible with each configuration and found that less is more at times, but still didn't feel 100% about it in the end, hence I watched this video. I also wanted to incorporate a battle belt so if I had to drop my plate carrier I'd still have some back-up gear, which proved a little challenging when crouched or going prone. In the end I left the majority of the gear on the plate carrier, figuring I'd scavenge as needed until getting to safety. I did notice there wasn't any sort of knife/cutting instrument nor spare pistol mags on your rig and am wondering why that was. Lastly, thank you for your efforts in spreading knowledge and your service.

" get shot in the back, bleed out...thats gonna suck." True humor of military personal!

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Very useful advice! Thanks for mentioning the lateral protection, because that (in my opinion) is an essential area to protect. Is the module option just as effective as a carrier which includes built-in lateral plate pockets?

[@HangtownTactical]

Depends..The add on side plate pouches will work just as well for running hard side plate armor as a carrier with a cummerbund designed with pockets for hard plates. However.. a lot of the carriers that comes with cumberbunds designed for armor also have large pockets that cover the entire cumberbund meant for running soft armor panels. If your just planning on running hard side plates which is most likely what you’d wanna do , the add on side plate pockets will work just as well. However you would get a lot more protection for fragmentation with the soft armor/ side plate combo on the carriers that comes with armor capable cumberbunds .

[@callijah61]

I’m sure other companies make it too but ar500 makes a shooters cut plate that I have in the 10x12. It allows you good space to shoulder your weapon without much hassle.

[@RFowler1984]

Great video, just for SA though, spalling is when edges of the steel plate brake off from impact and can turn into frag. The anti spalling coating is designed to contain those broken pieces. Fragmentation is what happens when the round impacts. The coating isn't designed to contain frag unfortunately. I know it's just splitting hairs, but something I found interesting when I was issued steel plates for low vis and decided to research.

As a goof I used my battle belt as a cummerbund looped through the straps and buckles of my minimalist plate carrier. Very supportive and sturdy but mainly fitted very well to the circumference of the vest straps and my torso, now I have a lot of molle room leading to me adding a first aide pouch and 2 extra mag pouches to my left and right sides. Adds back support because I have the back of the belt looped on the inside of my pc because; of my hydration pouch/fitted better that way. You can’t tell because of my added pouches, that it isn’t a cummerbund but technically the battle belt is just a high end cummerbund on your waist without plates/pads. The room saved because of the shape of the battle belt’s design is why I am not looking for a cummerbund, I can even add side plates and still have enough real estate to add a radio pouch etc..

[@doomtomb3]

I prefer at least 4 rows of mags and no armor plate. My mags will be my armor. P.s. I am a gucci armchair warrior

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Talking about mag direction, there are two basic grips that people use (may not be "official" terminology), either a pinch grip, where the palm is on the base, or a claw which is what you did where the palm is on the side. Pinch needs bullets forward (relative to whichever side is non-firing at the time around the front to the other side), claw needs bullets back. Pinch is good for grasping magazines that are low or very high up. Claw is good for speed since the grip is higher so you have more control. Claw has a lower range of flexibility limited to the non-firing side pouches, and the front pouches favoring the non-firing side. The way I set up are mags on the non dominant side is bullets back with claw, front is pinch (bullets forward) and on the dominant side bullets are also front relative to the nondominant side (but they are facing to the back). I set up this way so no matter which shoulder I am firing from, I always have a primary reloading pouch that uses the faster claw grip. When I need to top off things using my front mags, I use a pinch grip for my dominant side shooting, and claw for my non-dominant.
