Third Line Gear Day Pack Setup

[@someguy3167]

My mommy made PB&J for everyone at the airsoft game, so I do actually need a big pack.

[@coreywilliams5357]

Your content is so awesome, and I love that you think about the systems you're using and have an intentional philosophy behind everything you do. You're a great teacher and I'm glad you're out here educating us!

[@chrisscothorne450]

Tacticool's videos remind me of just shooting the breeze with my crew, debating the pros and cons of our gear. Amazing videos

[@mkheiser]

I love how TCG starts a video with "Greetings Loves" instead of the tired " What's up, guys?"

[@derekbrown1619]

Nice high level simping Michael.

[@vee-vee9446]

💙This was an amazing video, I'm redoing my plate carrier and needed help on what pack I wanted to run. So this helped a bunch and now I have a good idea on what to do. 💙

[@salemite]

Electric tape is so dang handy. I started carrying it when I was doing telco work at some previous jobs and found it to be handy for so many random things. Heck, I use mine a lot of first aide as it can make a really solid bandage with some gauze or wrapping over a bandaid. For folks who are watching who might not be versed in electrical stuff, you can melt electrical tape to shrink it. Not recommended for first aide applications but repairing a hole in your bag? Melt it on. Tying some cabling together permanently? Melt it down. Just a quick exposure to lighters will do. It's like a crappier version of the shrink tubing.

[@bigdrippy4104]

that's actually a great tip, cheers dude

[@roceye]

The only downfall to using electrical tape is the cheaper brands make everything sticky.

[@bretrehwaldt1958]

I agree about camelback. It’s the best that I’ve used. I have a camelback bladder that I have mountain biked with for 7 years. I’ve had many spills where all my weight has landed on it, stays in my car for months on end in the sun... I take it bow hunting, up and down trees. still works with no leaks. Great video, just subscribed 👍

[@TheOnlyRatDragon]

Is there enough room in the pack for the sadness I feel for the lack of boop count?

[@TacticoolGirlfriend]

We're gonna need a bigger pack. 😢

[@ZombieJuicer17]

T-G, I really enjoy your content... very informative and detailed. The entertainment factor is the right amount of dry humor meets Valkyria Chronicles... A+++

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

5:10 hydrate or diedrate also, there are mods that help with accessing integrated packs, the haley hitchhike for example converts their pack to do a similar flip over the head motion that the pack you showed off has. I personally run Agilite gear and I modded their AMAP integrated pack to be completely ripaway from the back of my carrier without having to remove the straps from the bag or the carrier from myself. Their system is already pretty good the way it comes, but all I needed was to pop in an extra plastic piece on each shoulder.

[@thefirstthrownmolotov6852]

Great points to hammer home about pack selection! Can't stress enough about practicality over that gear hog mentality. Gone through enough packs and still haven't found The One... And as always, your eye makeup is immaculate.

[@ilikesushi726]

Check out hill people gear

[@freddyvicaire6777]

You're amazing! Keep the videos coming! I carry MANY pb&js so I ALWAYS try to have 1st,2nd,&3rd like gear especially for camel back of cold milk lol

[@alun7006]

I have the 10l version of that Tasmanian Tiger pack - it's fantastic. I added a big gp pouch and a bottle pouch and it's perfect for a day out walking.

[@southpaw8990]

I'm found of my 5.11 rush 12. I use it for work/edc . It's held up well over the years of being in the woods , other creeks and rivers and being slung around an ambulance Has great organization also . The main compartment mainly has some work related stuff plus a woobie , kbar and some smaller emergency stuff in the mesh pockets. Condor emt lite ifak on tbe side , outer pockets have various tools and survival/emergency stuff. Need to get a bottle carrier to give my self more space .

[@yannickladonne4543]

"I don't like getting eaten up alive...by bugs at least" 👀👀

[@sabotagesavant5277]

I caught that & loled.

[@jamesfisher9594]

My eyes perked up at that

[@SideWays8Productions]

A good tip my father taught me, pack the heaviest stuff towards the top if you don’t need anything particularly quick. Your back will thank you later! For long expeditions I like to keep soft goods like blankets and layers at the bottom and heavier stuff like food, water and tools, and sometimes ammo at the top. Doing so will distribute the weight more evenly between your upper back and shoulders rather than just your lower back, and also doesn’t “drag” your shoulders back. It also doesn’t make your pack swing or bounce around as much, which believe it or not will wear you out slightly faster than a firm, tight pack set up!

[@thetalkinghesco8298]

Agreed

[@redkaladin6864]

Huh, I was taught heavy objects in the bottom of the bag closest to your hips, which carry the load.

[@SideWays8Productions]

@@redkaladin6864 depends on the pack frame, some are meant to carry more load on the hips, but those aren’t as common, so this rule generally applies to normal packs and most frames! Besides, unless the lower part of the frame is designed for the load, it’ll swing and pivot and put undue stress on your hips and back without the proper support.

[@bevans7772]

Don't skimp on CamelBak bladders and hoses! They're the only brand that held up over the years. Bought one in Iraq in 2008 and it's still good. I've purchased other brands and they've all leaked within days.

[@SideWays8Productions]

My father is still using the same DCU pattern Camelbak day pack and 3DAP he got in Iraq in 2004, along with the bladders they came with. Thousands of gallons through each of them for the last 15 years with no issues and quite frankly minimal cleaning. I wouldn’t trust anything else to hold the most essential key to life lol

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I definitely agree, been using mil-spec CamelBak products for years!!

[@rossscarsellato1442]

Msr bladders bro. I've popped 3 camelback that were mounted on the very top of my gear in my pack. Mounting them in the packs bladder slot almost guarantees a pop. The msr is way tougher and can be repaired with silicone adhesive.

[@jukkatalari3896]

I still have my Source 3l bladder; have used it daily for years from spring to autumn while running with my dogs. Source Storm valve makes it easy to give water to your dog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKmmZJmicuGl7s

[@patricktompkins5704]

I had a camel bladder I found under a bush full of shitty wine after a party. I cleaned and sanatized it real good and used it for years.

[@juliandavis6028]

I used to carry electrical tape but have switched to the smaller gorilla tape roll. You can tear it with your hands and I've found it's stronger and more waterproof than electrical tape. When I'm going full ultralight I wrap a smaller amount around my lip balm stick instead of carrying a full roll

[@roceye]

I like the self-adhesive tape that only sticks to itself. Handy and doesn't make everything sticky.

[@tarasmithskitchen2614]

My pack is bigger, but im packing for a longer stay. I do incorporate everything you show, and a tent, sleeping bag, cooking utensils. I didn't see a tourniquet in your gear, unless i missed it? As someone whose leg was impaled on a tree limb i highly suggest one be included in any first aid kit.

[@vantave9946]

I would assume it’s in the IFAK, but yeah I personally have one externally mounted on my IFAK and another mounted on the side of the backpack. Much more accessible that way

[@deadstump4970]

She has her first aid stuff on her first and second line gear as the third line gear is for stuff you need, but don't need in a hurry.

[@TacticoolGirlfriend]

Yep, my first and second line gear are decked out in tourniquets.

[@tarasmithskitchen2614]

I just have "a" pack, and everything in it by order of necessity, bagged up where I can pull it out without making a mess. If i leave my pack, I dont need to carry much, paper map, water, first aid kit, compas, knife, lighter, and though i love my 1911s, they're just too heavy, so my 26, or a 329pd... fishing pole, tackle box, rifle, depends.. may have a machete? Travel light, bring what you need. You can fit alot in a tackle box! Where I live, i wouldn't be buggin out, i would be getting home, im set up more for hunting or fishing trips. Im a truck driver, so I carry everything i need for getting home anyways. I do always have a leatherman on me, its too handy of a tool, just a plain ole leatherman.

[@urbansyndicatearmory]

Always look forward to your content, always informative💯🔥🔥

[@robertthibodeaux5128]

I will be looking for the "Don't be gross" merch soon. 😆

[@jacoblucas4259]

That little condor pack sure gets the job done for all the hate people lay on. I've had one for years now and used it for all sorts of stuff and it just keeps going.

[@ThomasShatter]

All that backpack talk reminded me of elementary school and having to wear a torture device with paper thin padding that manufacturer was bold enough to call a "backpack". With all the stuff needed it was around 15 pounds.

[@wormsdonthaveeyes2888]

I’ve checked the numbers and the average 5th grade school backpack is heavy enough to cause permanent damage.

[@ThomasShatter]

@@wormsdonthaveeyes2888 I have scoliosis because of this. It's insane that no one in power seems to care about this.

[@quetzalcueyat]

@@ThomasShatter I've always thought it was the intention

[@wendyhill8230]

Very helpful! I never know what to pack

[@Paddys_Bad_Decision]

A good way to choose a pack is to physically lay out everything you NEED to carry, and scale your pack to fit. THEN adjust for redundancies.

[@darrellh1840]

Thanks TG!!! Always great information!

[@JakeyV]

I love the dry dig about what our moms packed us for the airsoft games. Thanks mom, now I look like a dork ;(

[@killerskincanoe]

[@Casperski1312]

"this can be nice if you're treating your stuff like absolute dogshit" Listen, its not my fault I'm a dumb cave man and break everything I touch. I'm going to have a permanent hump in my back by 40, but I'm never going to have a bag blowout in the woods at night again 😂 Anywho, thanks for bringing another bangin video full of knowledge to the people

[@goosecaboose138]

oh man for the long walks you need blister prevention. moleskin or blister tape as soon as you feel the hot spot. hard to look tough when you're limping around

[@andarted]

Question about the second pair of socks: How do you get your first pair soggy without having soaked boats? Is this a sweat thing? If yes, how long does it takes under bad conditions (say 29°C/85°F, high humidity - marching) for a person with average sweaty feet?

[@TacticoolGirlfriend]

You can often get water in through the ankles, even if you're wearing GoreTex boots or something similar. Sweat is definitely a consideration too, but your mileage may vary.

[@andarted]

@@TacticoolGirlfriend I see, thank you.

[@donlang2661]

Cool. As usual, you've given me some great ideas. -D

[@charles_wipman]

I'm used the 90s ALLICE stuff, was painful and annoying for me, but... i know it would last a nuke explosion; all this new stuff look really much more user friendly, and those tips work no matter the age of the gear.

[@brandonbryan7841]

Hey! I make my own PB&Js these days….

[@rtek777]

Great way to know if your pack is too heavy is take it for a 2-4 mile walk around your neighborhood at a fast pace. See how you feel. Then do it again after a short break. By the time you're done you'll know for sure that its too heavy and you'll start looking for shit you don't think you'll really need.

[@CowboyRei]

Lol, I was going through gear, when you posted this. I'm a dork!

[@Gontzlol]

Using arcteryx Khard 45 or Haley strategic flatpack+

[@philipmike7621]

Flat pack with the hitchhiker kit for the win

[@vantave9946]

Very reassuring when your own gear is pretty similar to what’s shown in this video, hopefully that means I’m doing something right haha

[@RadScorpius]

Glad to hear from someone else who like their Condor gear, I don’t own that many but the few Condor gears I own like the gun belt and jacket are actually good. I finally upgraded to HSGI gun belt but I prefer the comfort level of my Condor belt.

[@Ryker2608]

A small 1 inch roll of gorilla tape might serve you better. The roll is the same size as the roll of electrical tape. But its MUCH stronger

[@slyfox0086]

"Tactical LARPer dork" lol

[@quetzalcueyat]

Took me out

[@wormsdonthaveeyes2888]

Bladders are great but make sure you have bottles too. You don’t want a single thorn in your bag to take out your entire water supply.

[@djanepupi]

theres some things here you already carry on your IFAK is there a reason why?

[@TacticoolGirlfriend]

Well, I should probably do an update on the IFAK itself as the booboo items have since been moved to the backpack because I downsized the IFAK itself.

[@ionstorm66]

Nice.

[@EthanAdey]

Yes

[@ryanthorne5432]

Gorilla makes their duct type tape in small rolls that are about the size of your typical roll of electrical tape.
