Short Patrol/Some Fieldcraft/and Brief note on Goretex

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Hi mate, the gor jeckets an gear. They are wind proof an yes shower proof. But not waterproof. If you go out in a down poor, you're going to get wet. I use em here in Pembrokeshire Wales, which rains alot lol.

Good stuff!

Great video. Legit info here. I sweat a lot no matter the temp when I’m working. Wicking base layers are a definite requirement for me.

Just saw this, not sure how I missed it. Excellent brother!

[@protectpersevere2030]

No worries man, Thanks!

[@WeaverMTN]

Good work bro! Seeing more of this inspires

[@protectpersevere2030]

Appreciate it!

[@Senor_spielbergo]

Gotta love Texas weather, good info brother. Have the old ecwcs gortex parka love it great price for bomb proof construction.

[@protectpersevere2030]

Definitely considering similar Goretex on the Civilian market is really expensive

[@swalker157]

In the ecwcs manual the two classes of layers should be homeostatic and exothermic, not static and dynamic. Strolling in the cold rain you want to keep heat(homeostatic); rucking from a-b in the cold rain you want to lose heat and moisture(exothermic). That’s how people should think when layering.

[@protectpersevere2030]

Yah i agree but you have to realize the average grunt and definitely the average joe who barely passed science class is going to understand that terminology vs “Stay comfortablely cool” “Start Ruck Cold and you’ll heat up” “Add warming layers when static”. Also Natives never used fancy words and simply new how there body and nature worked and they are still here

@@swalker157 Yah my bad, that was kinda the intent of my whole message. That it’s all about understanding and regulating how your body heats up and etc.

@@protectpersevere2030 "By the Book" does not translate for a lone individual. Those books are for ppl working in groups with kit designed for ppl working in groups with the risk factor taken into account for kit bought from the lowest bidder.. Wool base layer is the key and synthetic baggy outer layers have served me well in Alaska for over a decade in terms of heat regulation and protection. I would also recommend a few sets of old school green wool glove liners for your hands. A few with and a few w/o fingers. You can rotate them out when they get wet ,if you hands get cold but wool will still keep you warm when wet so individual results will vary. A light weight wool neck tube and wool watch cap are also good to have. Think in terms of a Frontiersman not a soldier- You will be better off.
