For a shell extractor, use a paint can opener. Keep it paracorded or bungied to your kit. Seconds matter and if we are worried about it being "fatal", having to dig it out your pack or falling back to where you doffed it can be even more so fatal

I tether them into the pack or helmet when not in use. Personally, I have never keep them on me. Realistically, during an actual "24-hour" Op you have the potential to use them 50% of the time. The other 50% s waisted weight and space. I don't like having a dedicated 2lbs pouch filled with something that's useless during the day. They stay in my pack until evening.

Nice loadout PA as always well thought out and gives us good pointers to set up our own. But as for the bag itself I actually picked one up but was less than impressed. Nice features and layout, but mine came with severe fraying on the mesh even though I bought it new with tags. Hitting it with a lighter didn't alleviate the issue. Despite Eagle's "Lifetime warranty", they said since I bought it from a dealer (I wasn't going to pay 3x as much buying it from Eagle's website) I would get charged for the repairs. They did offer to cover shipping on their end at least. I'll post a video on it sometime. My bag is a sample of one, could be the bag is durable as hell, but from talking with them it doesn't seem like they were surprised by my issue.

What is your typical ammo loadout? As a SAW gunner in the Rangers, I carried nothing less than 1,000 rounds on me, and another 1,000 rounds on my ruck, and everyone in my squad each carried 500 rounds for the SAW. You might think it’s excessive, but it’s better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it. As we both know, things can go sideways really fast.

@@PreparedAirman Thank you for considering anything I think maybe of relevant value on this topic. I'll be honest, I look to you and a small few others here on Yt for the knowledge I don't have or acquired via life experience on the topic. But I will give it a whirl anyways. As an Older Floridian I'd like to better understand how to prepare for our very specific weather conditions that as we all know, is pretty much unchanging year-round. One would think that would make it easier, but lacking the proper experience dealing with it under extreme conditions makes it hard to find a resolution. As a Father with two girls 16/9 and a wife to boot, I'd like to better understand how to prep gear that can help us all better deal with the factor that is Women and our Relentless Hot & Muggy Weather. What type of clothing to keep cool while preserving some ability to visually evade others and not cooking inside that clothing (BDU's etc.). Best footwear that is also fitting for the weather and the more tender feet and again maintaining some breathing & comfort. Is that plate carrier a necessity? Is it necessary for us all or most of us to have as well; our would some adapted form of Florida grey-man be better? If so, what does that look like? Should we consider freeze dried foods, or MRE's or simply forage? I'm inclined to think that some prepared foods would make it easier with a family in tow. What type of transportation would be most beneficial for our scenario? SUV, Scooters, Bikes, BM-Double-Feet? (I know that one is hard to answer for us specifically; and varies from family to family). So many other questions to ask; but I hope this has given you some direction on what others with similar conditions and lack of knowledge/experience would like to know how to prepare for. I suppose a more personal convo would facilitate my long list of questions. Thanks once again for replying and asking for my input.

Boots can be touchy, because they all fit differently. Plus, in the southern part of Florida, my best advice is to go with some kind of mesh upper. Old jungle boots will wreck your feet, but Rocky, 5.11, Bates, Magnum all make hybrid boots with leather and mesh that work well year round. I prefer synthetic socks for quicker drying time. It's rare that you will want wool. Definitely invest in water kit. Sawyer makes a great long term filter, and no issues with freezing for the most part. Also, purification tabs, probably some kind of gravity filter bag, and suitable storage containers. Breathable rain gear. SPF long sleeve shirts will keep you cooler in the heat than a wife beater top. Think about a fanny pack for stuff you always want on your person, and a backpack that can hold your other essentials. Alcohol stoves work pretty good here. You'll want hot water for coffee if you drink it. MREs and freeze dried meals are great, but expensive. There's videos out there for home made Mre meals that you can do cheaply. Recommended are good tactical pants in green or coyote as these colors are good for the area. They also shed water and dry quickly. Get a headlamp, preferably with a red lens. Keeps the bugs away at night if you need light. Bug netting and a boonie cap are good for sun and bugs. Get a decent fixed blade knife. Have multiple ways to make fire. All I can think of off the top of my head. Florida is way different of an environment, and a lot of what other people do doesn't work as well here.

No hate, just saying-love the two woobies but I hated gore-tex. To loud and trapped all my body heat in and I sweated the same as if I was just standing in the rain.

Do you find yourself typically consuming all those calories in 72 hours

No hate just responing based on eIxperance, lots of good and interesting ideas, I'm pretty old school UK ex military guy. So bombs bullets batteries and essentials only. I See a lot of redundant kit taking up space and adding weight. My experance of airborne ops is probably different but we could not mount anything on the outside of our bags. I ike the two poncho liners and one tarp but for the same weight you could use a jungle sleeping bag and a tarp add your cold weather kit and you would have a good level of thermal insulation. Water if you are able to resupply locally then one filter and a means of chemical decontamination purification is all you need. No team kit, I assume you work in a small team and with mostly the same guys. Share the load. Very little space for all the extra crap the squad needs bombs bullets and batteries observation and targeting kit etc. One team weapons cleaning kit, one repair kit one posable kit. Frees up space for vital kit bombs bullets and batteries! I didn't see a first / self aid kit. Blisters and small cuts headaches from dehydration all suck. You talk about working from a FOB but there was nothing in your kit to help build or camouflage it. There was nothing in your kit to help camouflage yourself. Your respirator is no use in your backpack I don't know what you policy is but we had to be able to put our masks on with in 9 seconds. Regardles of what you may think it sucks to be a chemical casualty and it impacts the mission. The battle board nice for vehicleborne operations but its just weight and space for infantry or airborne ops nice but as you say not nessassery. Food, calories are a rubbish way to determine what food to take on an operation a calorie is just a measurement of the heat generated when a certain weight of food is burnt. Your food is arguably the second most important factor in determing how well you function physically and mentally on ops. Warm drinks hot food and the pure joy derived from them is without doubt one of the key elements when working in a cold or cold wet environments. Never underestimate the benifit of hot sweet drinks like chocolate or English tea. You were carrying survival rations I would almost double the size of that ration pack and the divide it to day 1 snack meal day 1 main meal and hot drinks. Day 2 breakfast meal etc... day three breakfast and snack. I like the trail mix we add a lot of chocolate and dried fruit and call it gorp. In some cases it's all I've eaten for a week or so. Always have a means to heat your food and drink mre frh are OK but honestly for a few quid you can do much better with a gas burner and a metal mug. Kit organisation managment if that setup works. Cool but I would recomend realy think about packing your kit so what you need is available at the time you need it. When mentoring new guys, who had all the nice civilian purchase gear. I would remind them that if you are out on ops and you lose your gear for whatever reason. The QM is only going to replace the issued items. I've seen guys with garbage sacks with their kit in because all their expensive kit didn't fit into the pack given to them as a replacement when their civilian bag failed. I know it feels and looks cool but the reality is if it breaks, fails or gets lost its your problem and if deployed you don't always get it replaced.

I understand we're your coming from but I left the video vague on purpose. I can't get into the exact reasons or METTTC but alot is locally and Mission specific. I also purposely left out my mission specific gear. We do have team kits fill with alot of goodies. I understand the gas mask concern but it's based off of our environment and potential threat rating. Lastly, it all comes down to cost vs what I actually issued. I could dump 5k of personal funds into this bag just to have it removed because it's not SOP.

Unfortunately, it has been discontinued by them. Mountain smith makes one similar, which is what I now reference to folks. amzn.to/44g7AMu

If you weren't attached to a unit and had more of a civilian point of view, would you change anything?

Yes, it would change. This is a very specific kit designed for what I do, and with this kit, I have resupply abilities brought forth by the logistics system of the military. If I was not a part of the military, this pack would unfortunately get heavier with food and water procurement equipment.
