I'm a massive gear nerd, so I always enjoy these videos. I'd love to see your other ideas (tactics, detailed gear vids, etc.) at some point in the future

[@zombiehunter0000]

Ment to thank you for all the help I really like the job box we had a huge one in semalia have not thought of getting one till now a lot hander then a safe thanks again Kim

[@ordinary_american]

Good idea on the toolbox and having everything well thought out and staged. I'd be interested in more videos on this and your take on it after you've used it, what would you add/remove etc. Thanks!

[@The_Patron_Saint]

Such a great idea to use a job box. I've been racking my brain on how to store my gear, and I work in a machine shop around these all day 🙃 I don't know why I never thought to use one. Great video looking forward to more great content.

Hello - I am from the United Kingdom - England to be precise - I just wanted to say that your channel is my new favourite channel. Your delivery is superb , i love the way you go into depth about your reasoning - here in the uk we are barely allowed to carry a swiss army or camp - but when i go to Finland I will certainly use some of the kit you use . home defence here is a baseball bat :) anyways - new sub and loving the videos !!

[@greenwolf401]

Former Security Police Dog Handler here. I just have to say that I am very impressed with your knowledge and the fact that you are willing to share some of what you know with the public. Things are WAY different than when I served. For one, we didn't have nearly the gear that you do. Secondly, SF stood for Special Forces, specifically the Green Berets. Not criticizing, it's just where my mind goes when I hear SF. My son is planning on joining when he graduates next year. He's mainly considering your career field. Any advice? I've told him what I know, but I know that everything is quite different from when I was in.

[@Cgny]

Is your son open to the active duty lifestyle? If you have any national guard bases near by have him consider that. At my base security forces positions are always available in full time AGR positions. Pretty damn good money especially for a young buck. Can also pick another career field and still cross train and work security forces in the guard. Just throwing that out there seems like an option a lot over look.

[@greenwolf401]

@@Cgny , we do have a base nearby. I've already told him to check into that.

Mine, along with my ammo and gun safe is kept in a 12' x 12' concrete bunker in my basement. The bunker also has 100 days of food and bunk beds and serves as a storm shelter. Home Defense is a locking Gun rack in my master bedroom closet(Shotgun/AR MK 18) pistol and Bio lock handgun safes on both sides of the bed!

[@Vinnytwotime]

[@EQ9962]

That is an excellent idea. The job box is something i am absolutely going to adopt. Thank you!

[@nickb408]

Love the set up. Just curious why you prefer a clone for this type of set up? I get for a collectors item, but why restrain yourself to a mil spec minimum on a rifle?

[@PreparedAirman]

What more could you realisticly improve upon when it's a general purpose rifle?

[@nickb408]

@@PreparedAirman pistol grip, butt stock, muzzle device, and even the charging handle are all relatively easy realistic improvements that could be made. Not that mil spec doesn’t work because it obviously does. But thats why I asked the question of why you prefer it?

[@PreparedAirman]

To me they are all the same, cosmetic changes don't do very much in the improvement aspect. Maybe muzzle device to attach a Suppressor. It's kinda like a car. Cosmetics don't do much for performance, rims, paint, tint, lights, but if you upgrade the engine and tires now your improving things. I run it because I'm used to it. I use it Active duty everyday and I'm good with it. But again this is just my opinion and what I use for me. Other folks have different needs.

[@manasmanani6861]

Very helpfull u make very useful videos love your kits and equipment

[@Cobra-six]

Great content. I really like the idea of the truck box. My truck has the folding bed cover so I wouldn't be able to mount it on the truck. However, like you have it is a good idea. Just one question (asking for a friend): why would you store you rifle at the bottom of your box. I get the shotgun, but why not your rifle as well? Just another question: I really like the idea, but what about another box, but what about another 50 caliber box for your weapons cleaning kit? Perhaps for some spare batteries too? Please believe when I say that you really have a good in a kit box. Thanks for sharing it. One of the best videos I've seen with really good content.

[@PreparedAirman]

If you have the time I updated and remade this video. I went into more detail and added some video inside the box itself. The Rifle is to the side of the box for easy access . I just pulled it out as if it was in The bottom. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4m0Z6SDoLKoaNE

[@imforealz8617]

Right on, I do almost the exact same thing. I have made mine a little bit more portable. I use a three gun rifle case that I can throw my G 34, carbine, and my Bonelli Inside with a full load out. Then I take all my items like my helmet, plate carrier, Battle belt, a set of boots that I have already worn in, and a change of clothes. Lastly topped off by a 72 hour pack and a gas mask. As much as I would love to throw them in a big trunk or toolbox, I just want to be able to throw my stuff in the back of the truck with one person and leave. Good video

[@twinarrowssurvival.2.065]

[@BK-zv9kn]

Good video. Yes, always enjoy seeing tactics videos.

[@Goldenwithaleash]

Cool to see someone else still using a 590 for HD. Short AR’s are all the rage right now, for good reasons, but I still prefer a 12 gauge pump for home defense. If SHTF, I’m definitely grabbing one of my AR’s but for your standard home invasion, it’s hard to beat 8 rounds of #4 buck.

[@richardfiedler2201]

Your weapons light is on the wrong side of your shotgun. Always Mount your weapons light in your strong side judging from your battle belt you're right handed. Y. Concealment and doing room sweeps your weak side is always under concealment. As your weapon & quarter of ur body is in line of fire.

I'd like to see how u load a ruck. And also ur opinion on the best uniforms camo patterns/ buttons or velcro

[@PreparedAirman]

Camo patterns definitely depend on location for me. Some are better then other in different climates. I also prefer buttons not velcro. Could care less of the nose velcro creates but that it wares out over time and its more difficult to replace.

[@martinandrews8496]

@@PreparedAirman that's my biggest concern on the surplus side of things is field repair buttons are a must. And I'm south of atlanta in georgia. Other than the dead of winter very green. I just have a feeling usgi issue will hold up way better than hunting camo. What about camelbak? Do u have a preferred brand of bladder? Or just camelbak bladder that comes in em

Does your pack attach to your plate carrier or do you have to run shoulder straps overtop?

It has the capability to do both, although I typically run it with the shoulder straps so it's easier to take on and off.

[@brandonwardlow4246]

@@PreparedAirman I’m currently in the market for a plate carrier pack. I run a Crye JPC and I want to integrate it directly into the pack. I like most things about the Haley Strategic Flatpack, but I don’t like how it doesn’t have a helmet pouch or any MOLLE on the outside. And unfortunately everything else I look at that has those things starts to get large in size

[@whatupbro9673]

Nice gear wife don’t let me have fun like you

[@PreparedAirman]

Its for her own safety 😉

Thank you so much for the cool video. Would you humor me and allow me to mention a couple of things that I firmly believe are starting to become important. Having your gear set to go as you mention it, is smart. I would like to cover one thing, that is sterilizing my gear. Removing manufacturer stickers, patches and anything that can link that gear directly or indirectly to me, along with the tactical gear, I tend to keep the clothes I plan on having and using set up with my gear, also sterilized, and together for a quick grab and go. I keep my mobile phone's transport case, which keeps my phone from being used to track me etc., also sterile, with that gear so that companies that habitually spy on us will not be able to track my movements if the need arrives. I keep a bag to hold my wallet and jewelry if the need to go operational arises. I try to keep both myself and my gear as sterile as possible to make it as difficult as I can for anyone, to find their way to my door. A balaclava and long sleeves along with eye protection and gloves, all sterile of course, are directly attached to the tactical gear. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

Not a bad concept, actually, i kinda like it, alot. That being said , you war belt was i think the third item out, while the pants belt it velcro's to is almost last item. Might find a way to attach cargo webbing to the underside of the lid and store your clothes there that way you can put the pants on befor you get to the war belt. Also , while i think i saw a multi tool, i did not see a fix bladed knife.

Hey bro, how much ammo you have in ammo can ( video in 6:41) ?

Patriots I have a question I'm 70, female, live alone, arthritic fingers, what gun do I need for protection? I'm thinking more than 6 Bullets. Hope you all had a happy 4th of I did. God Bless America. God bless all Patriots worldwide

[@casocathasaigh6716]

Hmm, no one answered you. I would recommend a gun that uses magazines. Revolvers are generally easier to use, but loading it might be hard bc if arthritis. I recommend a gun that has no external safety, Beretta M92 type G or Glock variants. (Type g specifically for the Beretta) I would also recommend looking into kits to extend/enlarge the magazine release. Long guns like rifles or shotguns have their own unique things that make them better, sometimes harder to use. Regardless, you will need to go to a gun shop and handle the various pistols and rifles. You may find that racking a pistol is too difficult and instead using a shot gun is easier. (A plain shotgun would be my second recommendation (mossberg 500 or remington 870) .410 or 20 gauge would be good if you are recoup sensitive to 12 gauge. More than a weapon, I recommend you to get training with it. With proper training, you may be able to work past your age limitations. I recommend going to a gun shop and presenting this same question, those guys will generally love to help. While your there, I quire about going to a Conceal Carry course. This course will teach you and give you the paperwork you need to purchase a carry permit. (You might not conceal carry but these courses are not too expensive, and will provide you some skills.)

[@theodides5989]

looking at the battle belt are you left handed?

[@PreparedAirman]

No, I'm right hand dominant.

[@TylerFloydFilms]

If you live in the woods I’d put a ghille suit in it or in a bag to carry. Never know if you needa blend into the woods to hide/escape your area or dump gear and cover it up with the suit in a pinch

[@mrdark9916]

Any left handed shooter can attest that you need to be wearing eye pro, when using an M4 in particular. With your face on the right side, directly behind the ejecting rounds you tend to get a lot of "bullshit" blowing back into your face. Especially when running suppressed, that extra blowback really blasts right into your face and if you dont have eye pro, you are going to have problems lol.

[@warriorknowledge7490]

You need to do videos of yourself using your stuff. Look up nutnfancy channel on KZbin you will see how many subscribers he has. Doing "run and gun" will make a lot more people want to watch your videos. You will show how well certain gear holds up you may even get sponsors and then they will pay you plus give you a bunch of gear and you use it and review it in your videos. You have the potential to get a lot bigger here on KZbin you just have to put the work in. You should definitely have a team if you have all that stuff and you need to have them in your videos while you are using your stuff plus maybe even do videos on different topics like small unit tactics the possibilities are endless bud I hope you consider my advice.
