New subscriber here. I’ve watched 25 or 30 truck load out videos and for me this is the most well thought out, concise set up I’ve seen. I cannot afford a load out this elaborate, but this has given me the best base model to work from. Passing it forward. Thanks a ton brother for sharing 🫡🇺🇸

[@oldschooltakingyaback]

If we are following the rules of gun safety, no gun needs to be 'clear.' Also, painting that gun will break up the black way better. Those hard outlines will be easy to spot in the woods, if that's the goal/plan. Aside from that, excellent video.

[@TkellKnives]

Agreed on the ‘clear’. You wouldn’t believe the amount of people that will comment about you not showing that if firearm is clear on KZbin like they’re in danger on the other side of their phone. I typically do make my rifles multi-tone with diffent colors of stocks, hand guards, paint etc. These are still really new, so I’m enjoying them being pretty. Again excellent advice

[@oldschooltakingyaback]

@@TkellKnives Those people complaining are basically pointing out a classic joke: Tell me you haven't received professional training without saying you haven't received professional training. You've got a really awesome rig there. I only say paint the gun because after painting a few things I'm obsessed haha. And I appreciate you taking the time to send a reply and thank you for the compliment. Cheers, brother.

[@TkellKnives]

KZbin creates alot of “experts”. It’s easy to tell by observation of vernacular and movements who has and has not spent actual time behind a weapon. They see the gun tuber show clear all the time and they think that that’s what you’re supposed to do because they don’t have any experience around other humans using weapons systems. When in reality, those of us that have to deal with KZbin guidelines, know that showing a clear weapon or announcing a clear weapon or unloaded weapon will keep your video from being blocked, shadow banned, or demonetized. I have a very vivid memory of a PMI in the Marine Corps slamming a student to the ground at MCT, kneeing him in the face, because he flagged the line with a known UNLOADED M-16. If you don’t practice proper firearms safety in the environment that I come from, getting kneed in the face is the least traumatic thing that can happen. Same here I have a collection of plastic foliage, netting, various earth tones of rattle cans from krylon, and alumahyde, tapes etc. all for “art projects” to break up the signature of gear.

[@woodlandreconjoshdrakes5509]

[@TkellKnives]

Thank you brother. It’s an honor that you choose one of my blades, when you obviously have great taste in firearm. I just recently got a Rattler LT .300AAC with the 6.75 inch. Pistol (waiting on the form 1). Primary arms Vulcan reticle with micro 3x magnifier. Both on unity high rise with the magnifier in the FTC mount. Magpul rail scales. CGS Hyperion can (STILL in jail). It’s My first 300 blackout and I love it more than I thought. Seekins and Rattler…we have similar taste. I have nx15 Seekins with the EO Tech exps3 with a g33 magnifier. It’s crazy heavy not sure yet if I like it better than the razor 1-10 I took off of it. Big fan of LPVO on non SBR length

[@ooie1975g]

This is a great production and it left me with more questions than ideas. This will come across snarky but not intended as I'm really trying to gain ideas of needed items vs marketed items. I liked the set up in the truck however, the rear hatch window was the obvious security risk compared to the side windows. Not sure if there are potentials to fortifying a fiberglass shell. Great ideas though. I got lost when you spoke about carrying just enough water to get you to where you have resupply opportunities but then go on to carry 3 rifles for raiding buildings, tripod mounted 600m COD headshots, and light duty battle rifle. Not to get into the weeds about your ideology of preparing-- but are you setup to get to the resupply/rally point "home" or beyond? Hope you have plans to increase the range of the truck and to transport water.

[@magamike2052]

This was so satisfying to watch

[@charles17508]

Love the set up and i wouldnt suggest running 5.56 through a .223 barrel but you can run .223 through a 5.56 barrel no problem. Also nato round is 5.56 so it could go iether way with abundance of ammo around i would rather have a 5.56 than a 223 and since i have a 5.56 i can run 223 with no problems again my friend messed his up bad he had to geta new upoer he thought he had a 5.56 and so thats what he always shot through a few thousand rounds later took to gun smith and he said dude wrecked it shooting only 5.56 through a 223 barrel smoked it .

[@TkellKnives]

Solid advice brother. That’s why I I run a 223 wylde. It gives you the accuracy of a 223, but handles the chamber pressures in 556, but only a 223 wylde will handle those pressures.

Thanks for the video! Lots of great tips. What are you doing to secure the large rear window? plans for molle panel? thanks

[@ooie1975g]

I was thinking the same thing. Why bust out a side window when the rear hatch is the most vulnerable and has the greatest accessibility to the contents. I do like the Molle set up for convenience.

[@TkellKnives]

@ooie1975g there’s other people that have commented on this in the thread. The rear window is currently ballistic Lexan with upgraded locks. I have plans to add MOLLE panels to it as well, but when I did, I realized that I needed upgraded hydraulic shocks and if not done that yet. as far as the water like, I said, in the video I have three days worth of water for three people. That should be enough to allow me the ability to find more water and if I do, there’s of room in the back of my truck to store water. There’s no reason to debate what rifles I choose. If you want to choose different rifles, you’re more than welcome.

I have 2 trucks that’s being done for SHTF. My 98.5 Ram 2500 and 16 Ram 1500. Both are 4x4 just a warning you can $pend lots of $$$$$$$ on a truck build out. So always think outside the box and do plenty of research. I’m going to do a video on my 16 Rambox I have a topper that I modified

[@branned]

Some excellent quality stuff.👍👍 I would add a 22LR rifle and ammo box of 5,000 rds. Hand crank/solar radio; professional BLS/Medic Bag of medical gear; FOOD.....FOOD.....and more FOOD; more water filters, 2x USGI water cans, and 2x USGI Jerry fuel cans. SHTF is about balance. Tkink all classes of supply.

[@TkellKnives]

Those would be some great additions. I do have lots and lots of food, ammo, and water storage in my sheltering location, my truck is more set up to get me out of the immediate situation should things go sideways while I’m out. To be able to survive to get out. I take more of a SERE approach. My aim is to get the hell out of there. I’m never not within range of that location. The my medic kit I have mounted in the back is very comprehensive first aid, even up to heavy trauma but you can never have too much first aid gear. The three day three person kit made by decked for food water shelter is very comprehensive, especially for its size. But again my truck is not set up for long-term shelter in Place survival.

[@branned]

@@TkellKnives I understand. I like the way you set up the truck. Watch the Canadian prepper and the Silky Outback hand saws. If one needs heat or fire they are the best.

[@A5JDZK]

3M makes a window security film that really strengthens the glass to deter theft. Try the thickest film you can.

[@semiccap]

So I'm just going to add some observations. First and foremost you seem to have all your eggs in one basket - of course I have no idea what other kit you have/how your organized. With that said, what is truck used for? is it reliable? accessible? when it goes down what will happen to all that gear (running around with 5 firearms would be dififcult). How many people are included in this loadout? Three people makes more sense than a one man show. My one suggestion would be to add a bedslide on top of the decked system. reaching the front of box when geared up means unloading, making you vulnerable to having to repack each time. Plus you don't have to climb into a space half height due to the decked and canopy. Interesting loadout. I like the repurposed molle security panels - two birds, one stone sort of thing.

[@preptac6299]
