Coch probably doesn’t remember this but he gave me my first battle-belt back when I was the 3rd phase corpsman, he took pity on me when he saw me at the range shooting with no holster. it had a Sig p226 Safariland holster and I think it was Blackhawk, it was salty so it gave it character, I still have it 😇

This guy is the most accurate depiction of a retired SEAL. Its also great to learn from someone who doesnt have hardcore Captain America vibes. Kudos 🙌.

Mark is to me, what a Tier one operator should be. Such a humble, simple and nice guy, it's a breath of fresh air especially nowadays with so many other tier 1 operators coming out tooting their own horn. God Bless you Mark!

Cool to see gear from a different era.

When you put me through 3rd phase, I thought the sights on my Sig might have been off. You took my pistol and keyholed two rounds on a black dot, handed it back to me and said, “they look good to me.”

[@davids7550]

I set mine up just like Adam West did his in 1966. Complete with a live herring as a treat for friendly seals.

[@michaelbassett8076]

lol, this comment is very underrated

[@briangrant2005]

Love the low-key explanations! Makes it very easy for a civilian to understand the thought processes and mindset going into a personal setup

[@Shadow_Baron]

I love seeing all the old homemade rigs. That must have been so hard to work with all that canvas and metal alice clips

[@thomaswallaceii4175]

First and foremost thanks for your service. One of my boys just retired off the teams a few months ago. I enjoy watching the evolution you bring to your videos from us "old heads" to the new bread of gear.

[@troybishop5947]

"Mileage may vary", ain't gonna lie, gonna use that in my next class.

[@mikehoncho806]

Love how you noted that people always give shit about having knives on the back and your response is a middle finger basically lmao pure gold

[@bigmike716]

Thank you for your service! I always love seeing how others equip their belts.

U are the most. Humble sof operator on the internet and I know hundreds ranging from rangers, seals, green beret, recon , pj

[@johnd4348]

I like your style. Straight to the point, no BS. I was never in the Military, Glad people like you were. Thanks

[@robertdowns8182]

Always nice to see the evolution of gear. But more important I think is why change occured.

[@user-lg6mg4nm2j]

WOW you NAVY BOYS HAVE GREAT STUFF! I HAD OLD Vietnam stuff when my dad was in the Marines. I in listed in 1987-1991. I was Marine Force Recon sniper. We used Allis Web belts that read 1967 or 1968 or 1970 Lol. Web belt with a plastic buckle. 2 M - 1968 plastic canteens, 2 M-14 nylon pouches. M12 nylon holster and M12 mag pouch from 1972. I had a rook sack and butt pack then suspenders with shoulder harnesses. My K-Bar and compass on the shoulder pads. 30 years later you guys have sweet stuff seal! Semper FI Navy!

[@wolfza2630]

Humble, Professional and Informative. They don't make frogmen like they used to. Love the historical kit evolution.

[@larryfoster2227]

Thanks for your service brother! Great info!

[@lasithajayawardana9559]

I really enjoy watching Old Dogs bring out their gear and show the evolution of what they used to carry to what they now carry or their last deployment carry. Did you guys ever have an op where you ran out of ammo? 2-3 pistol mags and 3-4 SMG/M4 mags seems "light". Obviously loadout reflects level of credible intel on potential number of hostiles, and Black Hawk Down situations are rare.

[@manny1470]

I love watching Coch's videos. Keep em coming Coch.

[@Spencer859]

Love the way you keep it simple and to the point. As always thank you for your service.

[@skiingwithmark]

I like your style. Expressions are worth many words.

[@Bsquared1972]

Amazing the way gear evolves. I got the last belt you showed, and so far it is really comfortable.

[@OldJalopyPuller]

Thank you for your service, much respect sir.

[@victorcantu8257]

This guy keeps it real and to the point

[@Casloveskim]

Man you must have a mini museum at home! As a marine i bought a lot of stuff myself, how was that in your days? So cool to see the evolution and some of the same ways of thinking in your gear setup. love these vids Mark!

[@marcgravel3010]

Love to learn from you Coch. Thank-you for sharing.

[@larrybell4599]

Great video. Thank you for your service !!!!

[@nikolamanchev8003]

I used the glock knife in 2012 in Kandahar, that's one of my favorite blades for sure. It can definitley handle a beating.

[@bern3154]

I wish I had a family member like coch who can tell me all of these really cool stories of his days on the team.

[@Obscurealternatives999]

Thanks champ. Interesting evolution

[@formationctrv3651]

This is experience speaking ! So enjoyable to watch this video. Almost feels like you’re in the locker with him and you just asked him to show you his kit to set yours up. I wish I could like more than once !

[@TacticalHyve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Fer-De-Lance]

Thank you good sir and Tactical Hyve, you brightened my evening. Thank you for the knowledge as well.

[@wyldewest278]

That was awesome seeing the old school kit next to the new stuff 🤙🏻 badass

[@DIYDad1]

Very cool to see the evolution of gear over the years and how things have changed for better efficiency. Seems like everyone is going more minimal, lightweight, and more modular. And it seems like everyone is moving to Velcro over the molle setup for fast and easy pouch removal. Just set up my own belt and I’m sort of like your “gen 3” setup here with the padded belt, it was cheap, it works, and has held up great so far. Nice to hear from the experts with real world experience! I’ve noticed I prefer more weight on my hips than my shoulders so I am loading up my belt and keeping everything else minimal. Helps if you have back problems. Your hips can take a lot of weight very easily which is why hiking and backpacking backpacks have a very burly hip belt.

[@MrGunrun69]

I am enjoying your down to earth commentary.

[@Thizlamic]

Always cool to see how the real ninjas set their kit up! AWESOME STUFF!

[@v0rpalWeap0n]

Very helpful. I enjoy your presentation style. No-nonsense, and speaking from experience. Thank you.

[@Brimar7]

Simple and effective. Thanks

[@namelessschool7616]

Good to know a lot of the "Home Depot work arounds" I have used and seen used in the 3rd world are functional in the worst environments. People talk a lot of trash about DIY, but if you do your research and test your kit, DIY can lead to a better understanding of what you're running and cheap functional gear. The best gear costs a fortune that most dont have. That's no excuse to not have gear at all. It won't have the Crye logo though. I know, bummer.

[@davidmilisock5200]

Being from the 70's and seeing the evolution of gear is awesome. It's not just the weapons but the support gear. We as a society need to pony up for research and development in this area, save our team members lives. We need to remember when this was done with no armor, jury rigged most everything. We've lost to many.

[@danielchrisman4802]

Great info on progression of belts. I need to upgrade to a 2 piece belt. Thanks for the info.

From old school to new cool. Great representation of the progression of gear. I can remember using a web gear harness. The good old days.

Bought and AR QBC wylde camber main problem is looking for a place to train within 50 miles. Plenty of ammunition. Red & green dot put 20 round through it. Served in the navy 1987-1993 retired in NAB Coronado . I had planned on going across the street as a striker . Retired early. Looking at the foundation page I blessed. Thank You for all you do and have done !

[@bigoz7]

Simplicity is the name of this game, thanks for sharing great vid!

[@V10_bait]

Great to see the progression. Safelife Defense has a great belt. 2 inch w/ molle with the inner/outer style belt like others. Reasonably priced with great quality to support all your gear. I run the same esstac pouches with my IFAK thus far. Cheers.

[@N3wbMa5t3r]

Make sure you check the sizing... I normally wear an XL belt and my Safelife size belt is medium. 😂

[@robertpagel8951]

Blue alpha gear 2 pc belts hard to beat, can be configured for range work, competition and battle using just one set up. Check them out along with blue alpha gear, high speed gear, g code, or esstac pouches. Love my set up configures for any mission with no or very minor changes.
