As an ex SA military vet in my 60’s i tend to agree with you I have my gear arranged in 3 levels - level 1 : the basics or absolute minimum gear you would need over and above your edc, - level 2 : rifle / shotgun plus ammo plus cleaning kits and add ammo for the level 1 handgun and gloves - level 3 : 35 litre back pack with 3L bladder, extended stay protein food, change of clothes, full med kit with prescription meds, nice to haves extra not in lvls 1 & 2 If i had an email address we could communicate i could share how to make your own long term survival foods of about 80-90 days in about 8-9 kg.... Keep on keeping on with your content, i enjoy it Heads up Eyes open No fear
appreciate the insight! I wanna hear about that food setup, that's my big stumbling block at the moment. For my long range kit I max out at two weeks and I know if I did my own food preps I could double that. Drop me an email here => admin@thesurvivaloutpost.com. Cheers!
Red Hog, thank you. Much appreciated. Most of the vets today are not appreciated for the sacrifices. The older you are the less appreciated. And i greatly respect and admire the younger generations sacrifices and commitments to try and make the world we live in a better place. To all currently in and past
I would like to know how to do that with food as well as I am living in Thailand now, since 2005, and would really appreciate it. Here is my address. isaacallerton@gmail.com
Line system fully applies, its why most people running plate carriers are failing, because they dont have warbelt. Your warbelt is your absolute first line bugout. My Ronin warbelt has my medical, my multitool, my flashlight, my solar charged lighter, solar charger, my magazines, my sidearm, and smoke grenades to pop smoke.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost correct Senshi is a 2 line belt. Cobra buckles, with a rates 4,000lb D-ring hookup(which can save your life in a pinch). One layer velcro, the second is the belt. I've put 10,000+ rounds on targets running that belt ragged. It never moves, eliminates sweat/chaffing from larger belts.
I can relate, as a former Airborne Ranger, my friends sometimes call me the "Tactical Backpacker" or the "Tactical Bushcrafter" depending on what I'm doing because I too use a lot of tactical gear! Eberlestock packs Highly modified Helikon-Tex Foxtrot MKII belt rig (replaced original shoulder harness with Blackhawk H-harness) and mounted onto a HSGI battle belt. Hill People Gear chest pooch. Tru-Spec clothing. Haley Strategic Partners D3CRX Chest Rig. Preferred color in ALL Gear and clothing is Ranger Green and/or O.D. Green.
Thanks for sharing your loadout. How are you liking the Hill People gear pouch? Also that Haley rig, I had looked at that a while back, but wasn't sure how I would utilize all those open top pouches in front of the mag inserts. Thoughts on that and body armor? I'm taking the approach that when I finish my PC w/ plates, that's a rig that is primarily for defensive action at my house, not for running and gunning...
The line gear is essential for easy deployment and use in the field! Good video with useful information! I have done this for years since the 80's in the service! I always carry a EDC on my person and a small backup at all times kits, chest rig or vest for stealth, shoulder bag or havesack, and a ruck sack. I have the 5 C'S of survival in all four line kits including 2 extra mag's in each line kit.
Yessir you know the deal! I like the extra mags in each line. Depending on the situation, I have 180 rounds vacuum sealed ready to stow in my assault pack.
Recently made 61 days out of my 19.8 pound backpack. I'm in the woods once a week for the last 32 years practicing with my equipment. I'm an ex Army Ranger. My weapon of choice that I have procured my food with is a Barnett Cobra slingshot with a 5/8 ball bearing as ammo. It's quiet,easy to carry ,and you can find ammo just about anywhere. Over the last 5 years I have gotten prey good with that into the 50 yard range. I still make military hikes. I'm now 64 years old and eat, sleep and breathe survival and self defense. Love my life. No regrets. Enjoyed the video. Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I stayed the full 61 days. I could have stayed longer but got called for a job. Working on a 100 day bag. Can't wait. Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️
Good stuff. You are one of the first to recommend a Load Bearing Belt or Vest system. Everyone else seems hung up on their packs. I am not a fan of the vests. I live in Texas which is a hot climate. Vests in summer get even hotter. Best to have as much open territory around your body as possible to release sweat. I have an old school military LBE or LCE. I have heard them called both. If someone is looking for one find an H strap they are better than the Y straps. Make the belt load ride more evenly. Replace the metal clips with 550 cord, square knot with two half hitches and burn it. Will never come loose. Most Molle pouches will work with belt just fine. For the ones you do not move a lot tie them on.
I agree about the vests, the heat is an issue here in Florida as well. Plate carrier is the worst, chest rig is better, the traditional LBE rig I showed in the beginning is excellent for hot/humid environments. Great points about upgrading the old issue kit.
I'm dying laughing watching this because I'm all through the people he mentioned I am a pack mule a tactical gear w**** and I need to learn more about the three line technique although I've been doing it my whole life with my father as an outdoorsman lol
I use a system just like yours and it has worked fine for years but as I am from the UK no guns and we have to be careful with knives here to Great vid lots of good idears many thanks
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Well, it could be coming to America soon, they just put a Socialist/Communist in the White House and part of his agenda is some assault weapons ban and high capacity mags ban
I’ve also adopted a line system for my load out. The base is a Condor battle belt with an “H” harness. It’s very modular and allows for multiple setups. Like you I also have a basic survival kit with a military poncho, sidearm, extra mags, food, med kit, IFAC, etc...loaded on the belt. I have a 3lt Source water carrier system that I can easily mount or remove depending on the situation. The next level is my BAE Industries Molle II IOTV Gen II plate carrier. I typically run it slick and only mount a SEKRI US Army IFAK II on the lower back and a couple of extra Mag pouches on the left side. The next level is my BAE. Industries Molle II Tactical Assault Panel (TAP). It of course easily attaches to the front of the IOTV via a quick release system. I load 6 - 8 mags, a multitool, a Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife, BAE Improved IFAK, multiple CAT Tourniquets, etc...on the IOTV. This system is designed to marry perfectly to the next line... My US Army BAE Industries Molle II Medium Rucksack. There I carry extra food, Tennier Industries US Military Sleep System (MSS), extra clothes, tarp, tent, etc...This setup has been pretty expensive for me to put together especially due to the fact that it’s all in OCP Multicam but it’s all quality gear. I believe in the “Buy cheap...Buy twice” philosophy. It’s taken me longer to do it. I had to save up for the expensive stuff. The IOTV came complete with all the components (except the shoulder covers) and level III soft armor in OCP Multicam. It was never used surplus and trust me...It was expensive but again I know it’s quality. I know I can depend on it if I ever, God forbid, need it. Thanks for sharing sir. If you ever figure out the Baeofeng PTT issue please make a video on it. I’m in the same boats as you are with that issue.
Outstanding rig, how you liking the TAP? I understand the QR system is very easy to work with BUT it stays in place very well. And great you mention multi tourniquets, one of my friends with combat experience made it clear to me that if I need one tourni...odds are I'm going to need another one :) Thanks for sharing your loadout, well done.
The Survival Outpost I actually misspoke. My IOTV is a Gen II. The TAP DOES NOT attach via QR. it just uses a couple of buckles on the side and 2 vertical straps that attach via buckles that have Molle adaptable straps. It goes on and off very easily and also has a “H” harness that attaches to it so you can wear it by itself or over a FLC. The entire TAP will stay attached to the IOTV if you pull the QR. There’s no actual QR for the TAP. The QR for the IOTV works great. I’ve dumped it numerous times to gain muscle memory as to where the ripcord is. It’s a process to put it back together. As far as IFAKs and Tourniquets go...I carry 2 complete IFAKs with my full load out incase one is not enough. Also...I have 4 extremities so I always carry at least 4 CAT tourniquets on all my load outs. The development of the SOFT T and CAT tourniquets have helped medics and corpsmen save more servicemen I think than any other tool in their kit over recent years. Now even police officers are trained to use them and they carry them in their patrol vehicles. There benefits are immeasurable so you can never carry too many IMHO. Thanks again for sharing brother.
I don't use a Baofeng but I typically keep my radio mounted to my left shoulder although I am tossing around the idea of moving center mass above the mag pouches.
Hey great to hear from ya Russ. Yes its been a long evolution, looking back at old videos but hey you gotta start somewhere. Feel free to drop me an email since I don't use social media anymore - admin@thesurvivaoutpost.com. Cheers
Thank you for the video. The LINE System. I love it! I've been trying to figure out how to layer and modularize my gear and was getting stuck. I too had the idea of using a lumbar pack (similar to your LB belt) but that makes me feel like I will stick out like a sore thumb. I'd rather be more gray man and just have it all in a backpack. But then that means I can't add a BOB backpack module since I'd already have something on my back. I think I'm going to end up going with the lumbar pack and just suck it up and look obvious. It will be worth it to have the space to add a backpack if/when needed. I love modularizing. It is so much better organized and saves space in the long run and makes it so much easier to grab what you need and go.
Glad you liked it Aubrey. Bear in mind you don't "need" a big ole obvious molle belt like I demoed. You achieve the same goal by using a stiff 1.5 inch riggers belt. Here's an example. Pricey but it will get you started in the right direction on Google :) www.snakeeatertactical.com/product/set-war-belt-3-part-system/
I couldn't agree more with your statement about prepping tactically. Prep for the worst case scenario, and hope for the best. I enjoy listening to fellow like minded people like yourself that are "keeping it real". My first line, second line and third line (inch bag) are almost complete. So hope to have some videos up by the end of this year if all goes well with the down sizing in weight. Cheers for the upload :)
Yup prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Just like this current viral outbreak. Could it get way worse and impact the US, England, Canada...in the same way it's killing off people en masse in China? Dunno. My gut says no, everything is Ok, HOWEVER, I'm still ready. A viral outbreak is Prepper 101 :)
@@TheSurvivalOutpost just a heads up on the Virus, its way worse than whats being told. If and when this virus reaches every corner of the globe and infects every person like the Flu does the death rate will exceed the Flu on a massive scale. The Flu kills 0.05% of its victims (confirmed), this virus kills 2.1% (confirmed, but possibly up to 15.9% because the Chinese officials may be lying to us about the numbers like they have done before with other outbreaks). The worlds population is 7.7 billion people. So the Flu kills 3,850,000 people per year. This virus will kill 161,700,000 per year. And like the Flu, you could catch it multiple times a year? And here the kicker that just recently came out: www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/coronavirus-is-airborne-chinese-official-confirms/news-story/201218c04deb601b1b144f4cbbc4d807 Yup its airborne, basically it can travel through the air and infect people. This is a game changer right here. Just thought I would let you know mate. please check out other media reference this latest update. Take care mate, this virus is going to spread world wide in a bad way. You watch countries amp up their protection measures now. This is the real deal. Take care mate, this is why we prep.
I have a video coming out on this in a few days. Yes it is MUCH worse than reported. As it stands now by conservative estimates, we're looking at 30k dead and close to 200k infected. I love it when people tell me not to be concerned cause the flu kills lots of people. Then I share the same stats you mention here and their attitude changes quickly! Hope you're prepared, this is Prepper 101!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Comparing this virus to the Flu. I ask people a few simple questions: 1. Have you ever seen millions of people quarantined in their own homes due to the Flu? 2. Have you ever seen all public transport and personal vehicles banned because of the Flu? 3. Have you ever seen borders being closed due to the Flu? 4. Have you ever seen cities on lock-down, with nobody allowed in or out unless the military and Police give them permission to enter or leave the cities? 5. Have you ever seen millions of people wearing face masks or people in full protective body suits when dealing with people with the Flu? 6. Have you ever seen countries banning anyone from entering their own country that have traveled through another country (in this case China). www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-02/new-zealand-restricts-entry-from-china-arrivals-to-combat-virus I could ask questions like this all day but it doesn't take long before people start to get the picture. Also some viruses thrive in warmer weather, so this should also be taken into account. Keep safe.
The line idea is sound. I think of it as layered missions. First layer, 24 hours away from home, with minimal gear, food and water. A small, inconspicuous pack that no one would notice, because it always has to be in reach. Second layer is 3 nights/4 days on a mission of moving from point A to point B to get home. (Or some other safe place.) Could be 10 to 60 miles.This would have the gear and food, but would need to find 2 or 3 days of water (because of the weight, of course). Third layer is a kit of gear for uncertain duration out and alone, with a week or two of food but having to find the water. The first layer would be minimal weight. The second maybe 10-15 pounds of additional gear and 6-8 pounds of food and water, depending on the weather. The third layer would easily add another 10 pounds of gear, but also 10-15 pounds of food. Plus the packs for the first two layers. Obviously, the weight has become a real burden. Even ultralight backpackers are challenged when times get past a week alone, and that's without weapon and ammo. Now add the weight and volume of gun(s) and ammo. Clearly this system sounds great but is breaking down on the shoals of reality. It gets worse when you consider that the great majority of people are starting from urban or suburban environments where that tactical stuff you wear screams out "hey, I've got some really great stuff here. Come and take it from me." And now consider a family man with responsibilities. You've got the makings of a good approach, but in practical terms, it's pretty useless so far.
I like how you think through the layers. One can still stay low key and low profile AND utilize "tactical" gear. For example, the war belt can be removed and you can use a quality rigger belt to mount basic pouches, holster, etc. This is easily concealed under a light jacket. That's the first line. Then a second line low profile option would be a minimalist rig from Haley S or the Partisan chest rig from Gadsden Dynamics. Both the first and second line kit can be easily folded up and stowed in a main pack for maximum concealability.
Brother Awesome gear! Keep the butt pack! See you replaced it with the pull off first aid pouch! I love your mix match the colors just Badass! Get the cross chest holster! Best Regards!
Great video brother. Been looking at your vids for tips on my own bugout bag. Currently rocking the Molle 2 army surplus rucksack. Can't beat it for around 50 bucks. Tons of space and rock solid materials, if a bit on the heavy side.
People like to talk trash about military rucks as bug out bags, but for the money and durability, you can't beat them. I'd like to have them all, Large ALICE, MOLLE 2, ILBE, and FILBE. I personally run the ILBE right now. In true SHTF, especially long term, I'd ten to one rather take my chances with my ILBE versus a Gregory or an Osprey. I think I'll leave that to the hipster preppers lol.
@@joeyjones9041 Absolutely. For 50 bucks I couldn't find another pack with such capacity and high quality materials anywhere else. Sure the pack is heavy but in a bug out situation, I'd much rather have a heavier pack made with top of the line materials with the capability to hold up to 125lbs, over a hiking pack that can only support up to 45lbs and the fabric will tear on any branch caught on it.
Layering is an interesting and useful concept. I have used a chest rig and back pack, but the belt stuff usually ends up in my pockets or elsewhere in the other packs. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
People used to laugh about viral outbreaks and call that a fantasy...the same with gear like this...but I'd rather be prepared now vs regretting it later.
Recently i was looking at line gear. I was planning on getting a battle belt and chest rig, probably Condor or 5.11 since they're fairly cheap. Alas i got sidelined by some stuff, but that will definitely be a purchase in the future. Instead, I'm getting an AR15, ten pmags, 1000 rounds, a sling, and possibly some magpul furniture and optics. All the assault rifle ban rhetoric has me feeling the urgency to make my purchase. It sets me back on finishing my INCH bag, but i have plenty of time for that hopefully, but AR15, not so much. I just hope gun laws hold off enough for me to get a Glock 19X, Mossberg 590, Remington 700 with scope, and Ruger 10/22. I have a family, so not all of that's mine lol. Anyway, just thought it's funny, web gear has been on my mind and this video comes out. Great minds I guess lmao.
That's right, great minds think alike :D I agree with your direction, get the AR, optics and ammo. You can always finish the backpack and long range kit whenever, that's not going to be get banned...at least not yet :) That's an excellent choice in solid platforms, G19 (Love it), Mossberg 590 (I Have a 500), Remy 700 (Quality DMR) and the 10/22...what else do you need :)
Try living in California. We are constantly having to make purchases based on bans. Many guys maxed out their credit cards during the one week we could buy standard capacity magazines.
Purchase some reloading kits for you weapons. You can buy single round reloaders for each caliber. You do not need a huge setup. So far as I can tell there is no safe reloading of a .22 Long Rifle. One of your biggest problems for bug out especially if you are walking is ammo weight. 1500 rounds of .22 weighs 20 lbs. Ammo takes up a lot of your carry capacity. There is a balance.
@@shawnr771 i live in Tennessee, the election is what scares me. If a Democrat gets in there with a Democratic majority then they could make it federal. Tennessee should be a safe state for the meantime. For the ammo issue, caches at the bug out location is a good alternative.
Check out the PLATEminus PC from blue force gear if in the market for one. Lightest PC out there as far as I know. I also rock an AK with bakes and sposn sso pouches. I run it minimalist style... I’m in the desert along the border and less things hanging off the side the less I get entangled in mesquite. 3 mag pouch with 1 holding a handgun as it was designed for it. 3 mags for each firearm. Tear away sso ifak, sso dump pouch, double duty to carry anything useful I find along the way. I still got some of my old TA-50 but use very little of it. I could keep my PC with plates and run the OG Vest sometimes but I just take them out. Glad to see I’m not the only one in the boonies carrying firearms
Once i found a secure location, I run my full tactical gear and related boom sticks. However I prefer not to run around waving evil guns on UA-cam for obvious reasons. I've heard good things about the PLATEminus PC, thanks for confirming. Bakes and SSO is life. That minimalist rig is great since its super easy to stow in a main pack if needed to go a bit more low profile.
I preferr the Chicom chest rig. Its light, its though, its durable, its easily fixable, and it's simple to use. I do not like those tactical rigs and equipment. I like mine simple with ease of use. Great video.
I know everyone loves to get the chest rig and load it up with pouches, but I recommend one with a zipper or snap clips or something to open the vest/ chest rig up while in the prone. 0:13 classic example of trying to get low, yet all the mag pouches prevent it......
If you're going to carry 6 mags in your rig as most do, civi and mil, then yes it is about an inch you sacrifice getting prone and of course inches count when bullets are flying. I see your point about potential for unzipping the vest or unsnapping to get lower but imagine doing that and then forgetting you did, your shit flys everywhere when you get up to move. The optimal config for most trigger pullers is 4 mags across the front single row, one mag in the weapon and one fast mag.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I hear you on that. Just a different take on it is all I was offering. And not everyone will get down in the prone, I realize that. I use to run ranges and see the guys come to the range with mag pouches all over the front, and when it came time to shoot from different positions, it always became a problem. Just me offering a different look at it or something to think of is all, no disrespect intended to you or anyone reading this
All good no worries, I imagine as a range xo you've seen some wild configs LOL. Probably the biggest issue I noticed when going prone was not so much at double stack mag config but the fact that my pack frame prevents me from looking forward. I have to roll kinda sideaways to get a good look...with an internal frame that is not an issue.
What type of gear would you carry if you have to go back and forth from the woods to an urban environment to get water, carry two bags? I'd only have to go into the urban area every other day. I'd obviously need a couple pairs of clothing
If you are looking for PTT for the Baufeng UV5R check out the EARMOR OPSMEN M32 MOD3, you will have to get their version of the PTT switch only becasue they use the real NATO pin designations on their headset cable, but it connects seamless to the Baufeng or any radio with the Kenwood style connector. They have a NRR of 23 decibels almost as good as Peltor's but without the hefty $600 price tag, granted the Earmor's are Airsoft grade but if they do the job why not? I got a surplus LBV with a basic rifleman setup along with the Gerber Strongarm as well, hoping to do a video in the near future but I got some really important stuff to take care of in the next 6 months.
Does that 3 line pack basically sit atop of ur 1st line butt back, making a hip belt unnecessary? Balancing the weight to ur hips even without a hip belt? I wrote my comment too early. Lol
I run a Russian jaeger chest rig with a vertx bag, or if I need to go on a raid a duffle bag/ backpack. For weapon akp 7.62x39, plum magpul furniture with triangle stock. I live in a more rural area, so cammo and trees are the optimal way to avoid conflict.
I like this setup, especially the Jaeger chest rig. you have an AK103? I can't remember which one is 7.62x39 w/ the triangle folder...obviously AKS-74U is most famous. Love plum too, great choice.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost thanks for the comment, I got the PSA AKP builders kit, and put put a pic rail on the back for a PSA triangle pistol brace. I also put a 3 piece flashhider on and a vortex ar red dot. Currently saving up to buy a trijicon reflex sight.
If you bring a carbine & several mags, why not armor/helmet? I'm just a civvy with a black powder, but if I was expecting people to sh👀t back, I'd rather have a helmet more than a few mags. Just curious.
There’s a group on Facebook for PTTs for headsets that I use. Called, Amplified PTT for Sordins, Comtacs and TCI Headsets. If you have any trouble finding it PM me
What do you do with your chest rig and war belt when you're in an urban environment and or trying to conceal it from people and aren't in a vehicle, or having a vehicle isn't accessible?
I wouldn't bring out that out in a public space unless A) I was at a political rally and chose to wear the gear for a specific threat situation or B) Total no rule of law. For everything else I built a very low profile tactical belt with just the basics...a few mag pouches, blow out kit and holster.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I understand. So if you had to abandon your home, and go but out, obviously if we are traveling in vehicle we can just hide the chest rig and warbelt... But what if we have no choice and we have to walk and or are on foot, and a vehicle isn't possible, how then would you carry/conceal the chest rig/battle belt?
I run Direct Action Gear which is top of the line unfortunately cost is the limitation for most. I have a lot of Condor gear also that I have in reserve for other people and for the price they produce some great gear. End of the day it’s the individual and not the gear that makes the biggest difference.
Prone is not a big deal until you put on the main pack, then the frame prevents you from staying prone and getting a good look around. I do find that if I ran three mags up from, I can obviously get lower to the ground. The new chest rig build I have in the works has mag inserts build into the front panel, making it very slick and low profile.
So yes and no. I wear the chest rig with main pack, however a typical war belt or similar LBV doesn't fit with a main pack so in that setup, I pair the chest rig and war belt with a smaller assault pack or hydro pack that doesn't have a large hip belt. Lots of different ways to configure the gear.
The Survival Outpost ---GOT IT. THANKS. I have a load-bearing vest but never got around to trying it with the 80-85L pack. I don't think they mix, but a chest rig is a good idea.
@@jefffriedberg Yep the typical LBV won't work because the waist belt would have to go directly over the LBV belt which has pouches etc. But the chest rig works fine. The Tactical Tailor MAV is a good option to start with...or a chest rig with integrated mag pouches. Keep a smaller profile and enables you to get lower to the ground.
I've gone out with an lbv, front load 40l assault pack(with camel back attached to front), and my giant ruck on the back. The Hike to base camp was 4 miles. And I stayed for 5 days. XD hiking in was a b$#*& leaving was so much better lmao.
go with the tubes of Vaseline, their more flat, can't be crushed, and don't MELT on you in 90+ degree weather. What's the name of the extra thick plate under the shirt? Perhaps using a thinner one could keep those double layer ak mags from sticking out like a t.v. tray.
great size for me, lightweight, can add small armor plate if needed, seems like best of both worlds. www.ebay.com/itm/265191796329?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=265191796329&targetid=4580496732614413&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=418233788&mkgroupid=1230353745471221&rlsatarget=pla-4580496732614413&abcId=9300542&merchantid=51291&msclkid=b5e395740c5e1490265ff5a62a91e8b1

I can fully conceal everything in my ILBE pack at the expense of adding 11 lbs from the pack itself and losing ability to hip carry a firearm, or trade complete concealment and grey man status, for lightweight, balanced, semi concealment, semi tactical, defensive and evasive load out. I chose the latter, lightweight and able to protect myself. Being 110% grey man sounds good, but in reality, if people are fucking with someone with carrying a visible gun, they're already and definitely fucking with everyone, including someone they don't see with a gun, grey man or not, they don't know the weapon.is concealed if there is a weapon. So at that point I see it better to remain evasive and get the hell out of dodge, but I believe in having my weapon on hand on standby while I'm moving, as well to show force. Most civilians on the street aren't armed with guns, and even if they are, when they see someone with a gun, they usually go the other direction or run. It's not like the movies (the purge) people aren't coming after you especially when you're visibly armed, even if they're out the rioting and causing hell, they're jumping and assaulting people that are unarmed and alone. And besides, you're supposed to be evasive and on the move, not standing or moving along the idiots. Just my ideas and load out. Figured I'd share
Make some choices in the gear you're going to rely on, and sell some of that which doesn't make the cut. Use that money to buy some body armor. None of us is going to utilize 2 or 3 different rucks, belts, etc. Get your armor situation squared away.
Good idea, but what you saw there is my essential. One setup for wilderness survival, one setup for hostile situations (war belt, chest rig, pack). Now....if I could find a company to hook up some armor and PC for review, that would be perfect :)
I would be more worried about the handle of your blade crushing your ribs if you fall or something, more than I would be about the Glock going of and shooting my leg, highly unlikely.
Sure I carry I both because the age old survival rule: Two is one, one is none. When that Bic runs out of fluid or the flint striker breaks, the firesteel ALWAYS works.
Get out and do, yes sir, hard part is getting guys to be men and train, most just wanna have the gear but never wear it. Agreed , I don't know why they even own the gear
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Forget electrical tape. I recently switched to Gorilla Brand duct tape. Also as much as I like the MOLLE webbing I do not trust it. 550 cord square knot and two half hitches. Tie the pouches you do not change out IN PLACE. After you get all your gear squared up. Jump up and down if you jingle jangle, tape and tie as needed till all you hear is your body hitting the ground.
My edc is my Böker folder, cellphone, and pencil. I use to carry a pen light in my jacket, along with a credit card knife, but meh.... I need to separate necessities to molle pouches so I can do easy swaps from day pack to my 72 hr. And on my chest rig I load it out when I use it...
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I'm not a fan of dedicated gear. I use my standard issue LBV. When I have my ruck or 72 HR bag I wear it with my load out. Along with my med kit and other goodies. I keep a pouch empty in case I want to roam around without all the weight. Throw some hooah bars and jerkey in it and it replaces a day pack.
The only brand gear I carry is a Fox Tactical 69L and the Walmart molle pack that I believe you did a video on. The rest is my old military gear and things I used while in lol.
Please tell me you don't plan on living on mountain house meals lol so, where's your snare traps and rabbits on the fire?? Let's use that fancy shit huh
I prefer to keep those items in a cache vs carrying extra weight for hunting and trapping. I'm not Daniel Boone living off the land. I have a predefined BOL with what I need setup in advance.
I hate to pour cold water on your parade. In my country we speak several languages, none consist of larp or lard. Spell check doesn't even accept them. I clicked on three items from Amazon. First three, out of three were not available. So for those reasons, I'm out.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost sorry bub, I was expecting alot more.... alot more... your efforts are great... but I feel as tho you know more about D&D, then what could happen if you LARP in wrong part of the woods...
As an ex SA military vet in my 60’s i tend to agree with you
I have my gear arranged in 3 levels
- level 1 : the basics or absolute minimum gear you would need over and above your edc,
- level 2 : rifle / shotgun plus ammo plus cleaning kits and add ammo for the level 1 handgun and gloves
- level 3 : 35 litre back pack with 3L bladder, extended stay protein food, change of clothes, full med kit with prescription meds, nice to haves extra not in lvls 1 & 2

Best comment ever :D
Same here, NFL is rigged once you figured that out.....
I used to watch Superbowl and some season games but now its so political and full of garbage I can't even...got better things to do with my time.
@@AsphaltCowboyUSA its TOTALLY rigged, i wonder if it has always been this obvious or did i only just notice it like 5-10 years ago
Into The Void - i think it’s getting worse, but also once you are woke it’s easy to see things. All pro sports is rigged.
No, go ahead.. carry everything! When they drop dead, we can go shopping! Seriously, I agree. Group the gear. Add/ditch as needed
That's why I'm torn...one part of me wants to buy all the tacticool gear now...the other part wants to wait and pick up all the unused kit :D
Line system fully applies, its why most people running plate carriers are failing, because they dont have warbelt.
Your warbelt is your absolute first line bugout. My Ronin warbelt has my medical, my multitool, my flashlight, my solar charged lighter, solar charger, my magazines, my sidearm, and smoke grenades to pop smoke.
Sounds exactly like the first rig I showed...minus the smoke gs. Your using the Ronin Senshi?
@@TheSurvivalOutpost correct Senshi is a 2 line belt. Cobra buckles, with a rates 4,000lb D-ring hookup(which can save your life in a pinch). One layer velcro, the second is the belt. I've put 10,000+ rounds on targets running that belt ragged. It never moves, eliminates sweat/chaffing from larger belts.
I can relate, as a former Airborne Ranger, my friends sometimes call me the "Tactical Backpacker" or the "Tactical Bushcrafter" depending on what I'm doing because I too use a lot of tactical gear!
Eberlestock packs
Highly modified Helikon-Tex Foxtrot MKII belt rig (replaced original shoulder harness with Blackhawk H-harness) and mounted onto a HSGI battle belt.
Hill People Gear chest pooch.
Tru-Spec clothing.
Haley Strategic Partners D3CRX Chest Rig.
Preferred color in ALL Gear and clothing is Ranger Green and/or O.D. Green.
Thanks for sharing your loadout. How are you liking the Hill People gear pouch? Also that Haley rig, I had looked at that a while back, but wasn't sure how I would utilize all those open top pouches in front of the mag inserts. Thoughts on that and body armor? I'm taking the approach that when I finish my PC w/ plates, that's a rig that is primarily for defensive action at my house, not for running and gunning...
@@TheSurvivalOutpost
I use a layered system, 1) EDC in my pockets, 2) chest pouch, 3) belt rig/water bladder, 4) Eberlestock F65 Little Big Top Pack
Lol! I like what you said about reducing your survival chances. I understand Spec forces always avoid confrontation to have a successful mission.👍
That's right, no Rambo shit here, no need to start a fight, avoid contact
The line gear is essential for easy deployment and use in the field! Good video with useful information! I have done this for years since the 80's in the service! I always carry a EDC on my person and a small backup at all times kits, chest rig or vest for stealth, shoulder bag or havesack, and a ruck sack. I have the 5 C'S of survival in all four line kits including 2 extra mag's in each line kit.
Yessir you know the deal! I like the extra mags in each line. Depending on the situation, I have 180 rounds vacuum sealed ready to stow in my assault pack.
Recently made 61 days out of my 19.8 pound backpack. I'm in the woods once a week for the last 32 years practicing with my equipment. I'm an ex Army Ranger. My weapon of choice that I have procured my food with is a Barnett Cobra slingshot with a 5/8 ball bearing as ammo. It's quiet,easy to carry ,and you can find ammo just about anywhere. Over the last 5 years I have gotten prey good with that into the 50 yard range. I still make military hikes. I'm now 64 years old and eat, sleep and breathe survival and self defense. Love my life. No regrets. Enjoyed the video.

If you’re looking for ptt device for your radio, try going to code red headset. They have all types of ptt to chose from
Excellent, I KNEW someone would pop up with a helpful comment regarding PTT...thanks
Good stuff. You are one of the first to recommend a Load Bearing Belt or Vest system.
Everyone else seems hung up on their packs.
I am not a fan of the vests. I live in Texas which is a hot climate. Vests in summer get even hotter. Best to have as much open territory around your body as possible to release sweat.
I have an old school military LBE or LCE. I have heard them called both. If someone is looking for one find an H strap they are better than the Y straps. Make the belt load ride more evenly.
Replace the metal clips with 550 cord, square knot with two half hitches and burn it. Will never come loose. Most Molle pouches will work with belt just fine. For the ones you do not move a lot tie them on.
I agree about the vests, the heat is an issue here in Florida as well. Plate carrier is the worst, chest rig is better, the traditional LBE rig I showed in the beginning is excellent for hot/humid environments. Great points about upgrading the old issue kit.
I'm dying laughing watching this because I'm all through the people he mentioned I am a pack mule a tactical gear w**** and I need to learn more about the three line technique although I've been doing it my whole life with my father as an outdoorsman lol
Thats ironic hahaha, its kinda time consuming to setup at first but once its done, its done.
I use a system just like yours and it has worked fine for years but as I am from the UK no guns and we have to be careful with knives here to Great vid lots of good idears many thanks
Glad you like it, sorry about that no gun, no knives law. Total bullshit.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Tell me about it LOL
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Well, it could be coming to America soon, they just put a Socialist/Communist in the White House and part of his agenda is some assault weapons ban and high capacity mags ban
I’ve also adopted a line system for my load out. The base is a Condor battle belt with an “H” harness. It’s very modular and allows for multiple setups. Like you I also have a basic survival kit with a military poncho, sidearm, extra mags, food, med kit, IFAC, etc...loaded on the belt. I have a 3lt Source water carrier system that I can easily mount or remove depending on the situation. The next level is my BAE Industries Molle II IOTV Gen II plate carrier. I typically run it slick and only mount a SEKRI US Army IFAK II on the lower back and a couple of extra Mag pouches on the left side. The next level is my BAE. Industries Molle II Tactical Assault Panel (TAP). It of course easily attaches to the front of the IOTV via a quick release system. I load 6 - 8 mags, a multitool, a Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife, BAE Improved IFAK, multiple CAT Tourniquets, etc...on the IOTV. This system is designed to marry perfectly to the next line... My US Army BAE Industries Molle II Medium Rucksack. There I carry extra food, Tennier Industries US Military Sleep System (MSS), extra clothes, tarp, tent, etc...This setup has been pretty expensive for me to put together especially due to the fact that it’s all in OCP Multicam but it’s all quality gear. I believe in the “Buy cheap...Buy twice” philosophy. It’s taken me longer to do it. I had to save up for the expensive stuff. The IOTV came complete with all the components (except the shoulder covers) and level III soft armor in OCP Multicam. It was never used surplus and trust me...It was expensive but again I know it’s quality. I know I can depend on it if I ever, God forbid, need it. Thanks for sharing sir. If you ever figure out the Baeofeng PTT issue please make a video on it. I’m in the same boats as you are with that issue.
Outstanding rig, how you liking the TAP? I understand the QR system is very easy to work with BUT it stays in place very well. And great you mention multi tourniquets, one of my friends with combat experience made it clear to me that if I need one tourni...odds are I'm going to need another one :) Thanks for sharing your loadout, well done.
The Survival Outpost I actually misspoke. My IOTV is a Gen II. The TAP DOES NOT attach via QR. it just uses a couple of buckles on the side and 2 vertical straps that attach via buckles that have Molle adaptable straps. It goes on and off very easily and also has a “H” harness that attaches to it so you can wear it by itself or over a FLC. The entire TAP will stay attached to the IOTV if you pull the QR. There’s no actual QR for the TAP. The QR for the IOTV works great. I’ve dumped it numerous times to gain muscle memory as to where the ripcord is. It’s a process to put it back together. As far as IFAKs and Tourniquets go...I carry 2 complete IFAKs with my full load out incase one is not enough. Also...I have 4 extremities so I always carry at least 4 CAT tourniquets on all my load outs. The development of the SOFT T and CAT tourniquets have helped medics and corpsmen save more servicemen I think than any other tool in their kit over recent years. Now even police officers are trained to use them and they carry them in their patrol vehicles. There benefits are immeasurable so you can never carry too many IMHO. Thanks again for sharing brother.
I don't use a Baofeng but I typically keep my radio mounted to my left shoulder although I am tossing around the idea of moving center mass above the mag pouches.
Yeah I keep my radio in the chest rig pouch and run the ear piece which is fairly solid.
Nice one blitz..it's getting there..been a long evolution for you..

Very solid blade. Probably one of my favorites.
Thank you for the video. The LINE System. I love it! I've been trying to figure out how to layer and modularize my gear and was getting stuck. I too had the idea of using a lumbar pack (similar to your LB belt) but that makes me feel like I will stick out like a sore thumb. I'd rather be more gray man and just have it all in a backpack. But then that means I can't add a BOB backpack module since I'd already have something on my back. I think I'm going to end up going with the lumbar pack and just suck it up and look obvious. It will be worth it to have the space to add a backpack if/when needed. I love modularizing. It is so much better organized and saves space in the long run and makes it so much easier to grab what you need and go.
Glad you liked it Aubrey. Bear in mind you don't "need" a big ole obvious molle belt like I demoed. You achieve the same goal by using a stiff 1.5 inch riggers belt. Here's an example. Pricey but it will get you started in the right direction on Google :)

Cheers for the upload :)
Yup prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Just like this current viral outbreak. Could it get way worse and impact the US, England, Canada...in the same way it's killing off people en masse in China? Dunno. My gut says no, everything is Ok, HOWEVER, I'm still ready. A viral outbreak is Prepper 101 :)
@@TheSurvivalOutpost just a heads up on the Virus, its way worse than whats being told. If and when this virus reaches every corner of the globe and infects every person like the Flu does the death rate will exceed the Flu on a massive scale.
The Flu kills 0.05% of its victims (confirmed), this virus kills 2.1% (confirmed, but possibly up to 15.9% because the Chinese officials may be lying to us about the numbers like they have done before with other outbreaks).
The worlds population is 7.7 billion people. So the Flu kills 3,850,000 people per year. This virus will kill 161,700,000 per year.
And like the Flu, you could catch it multiple times a year? And here the kicker that just recently came out: www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/coronavirus-is-airborne-chinese-official-confirms/news-story/201218c04deb601b1b144f4cbbc4d807
Yup its airborne, basically it can travel through the air and infect people. This is a game changer right here. Just thought I would let you know mate. please check out other media reference this latest update.
Take care mate, this virus is going to spread world wide in a bad way. You watch countries amp up their protection measures now. This is the real deal. Take care mate, this is why we prep.
I have a video coming out on this in a few days. Yes it is MUCH worse than reported. As it stands now by conservative estimates, we're looking at 30k dead and close to 200k infected. I love it when people tell me not to be concerned cause the flu kills lots of people. Then I share the same stats you mention here and their attitude changes quickly! Hope you're prepared, this is Prepper 101!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Comparing this virus to the Flu.
I ask people a few simple questions:
1. Have you ever seen millions of people quarantined in their own homes due to the Flu?
2. Have you ever seen all public transport and personal vehicles banned because of the Flu?
3. Have you ever seen borders being closed due to the Flu?
4. Have you ever seen cities on lock-down, with nobody allowed in or out unless the military and Police give them permission to enter or leave the cities?
5. Have you ever seen millions of people wearing face masks or people in full protective body suits when dealing with people with the Flu?
6. Have you ever seen countries banning anyone from entering their own country that have traveled through another country (in this case China). www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-02/new-zealand-restricts-entry-from-china-arrivals-to-combat-virus
I could ask questions like this all day but it doesn't take long before people start to get the picture. Also some viruses thrive in warmer weather, so this should also be taken into account.
Keep safe.
Very cool you showed me some stuff I didn't know
Awesome glad it was helpful!
The line idea is sound. I think of it as layered missions. First layer, 24 hours away from home, with minimal gear, food and water. A small, inconspicuous pack that no one would notice, because it always has to be in reach.
Second layer is 3 nights/4 days on a mission of moving from point A to point B to get home. (Or some other safe place.) Could be 10 to 60 miles.This would have the gear and food, but would need to find 2 or 3 days of water (because of the weight, of course). Third layer is a kit of gear for uncertain duration out and alone, with a week or two of food but having to find the water.
The first layer would be minimal weight. The second maybe 10-15 pounds of additional gear and 6-8 pounds of food and water, depending on the weather.
The third layer would easily add another 10 pounds of gear, but also 10-15 pounds of food. Plus the packs for the first two layers. Obviously, the weight has become a real burden. Even ultralight backpackers are challenged when times get past a week alone, and that's without weapon and ammo. Now add the weight and volume of gun(s) and ammo.
Clearly this system sounds great but is breaking down on the shoals of reality. It gets worse when you consider that the great majority of people are starting from urban or suburban environments where that tactical stuff you wear screams out "hey, I've got some really great stuff here. Come and take it from me." And now consider a family man with responsibilities.
You've got the makings of a good approach, but in practical terms, it's pretty useless so far.
I like how you think through the layers. One can still stay low key and low profile AND utilize "tactical" gear. For example, the war belt can be removed and you can use a quality rigger belt to mount basic pouches, holster, etc. This is easily concealed under a light jacket. That's the first line. Then a second line low profile option would be a minimalist rig from Haley S or the Partisan chest rig from Gadsden Dynamics. Both the first and second line kit can be easily folded up and stowed in a main pack for maximum concealability.
Brother Awesome gear! Keep the butt pack! See you replaced it with the pull off first aid pouch! I love your mix match the colors just Badass! Get the cross chest holster! Best Regards!
Thanks appreciate that Chad!
Great video brother. Been looking at your vids for tips on my own bugout bag. Currently rocking the Molle 2 army surplus rucksack. Can't beat it for around 50 bucks. Tons of space and rock solid materials, if a bit on the heavy side.
Love the Molle 2 gear. I bought the rifleman package deal years ago and as you can see, still using some of the components. The Molle 2 ruck is solid.
People like to talk trash about military rucks as bug out bags, but for the money and durability, you can't beat them. I'd like to have them all, Large ALICE, MOLLE 2, ILBE, and FILBE. I personally run the ILBE right now. In true SHTF, especially long term, I'd ten to one rather take my chances with my ILBE versus a Gregory or an Osprey. I think I'll leave that to the hipster preppers lol.
@@joeyjones9041 Absolutely. For 50 bucks I couldn't find another pack with such capacity and high quality materials anywhere else. Sure the pack is heavy but in a bug out situation, I'd much rather have a heavier pack made with top of the line materials with the capability to hold up to 125lbs, over a hiking pack that can only support up to 45lbs and the fabric will tear on any branch caught on it.
What happens if it rains and your gear gets wet? Will your paper still be dry? Will you be able to use that Bic lighter, if it gets wet? Just curious.
a rain cover can be used to keep the pack dry and the Bic lighter works under wet conditions, dry conditions, any conditions tbh.
Layering is an interesting and useful concept. I have used a chest rig and back pack, but the belt stuff usually ends up in my pockets or elsewhere in the other packs. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

A great fantasy bug-out setup
Fantasy?

Recently i was looking at line gear. I was planning on getting a battle belt and chest rig, probably Condor or 5.11 since they're fairly cheap. Alas i got sidelined by some stuff, but that will definitely be a purchase in the future. Instead, I'm getting an AR15, ten pmags, 1000 rounds, a sling, and possibly some magpul furniture and optics. All the assault rifle ban rhetoric has me feeling the urgency to make my purchase. It sets me back on finishing my INCH bag, but i have plenty of time for that hopefully, but AR15, not so much. I just hope gun laws hold off enough for me to get a Glock 19X, Mossberg 590, Remington 700 with scope, and Ruger 10/22. I have a family, so not all of that's mine lol. Anyway, just thought it's funny, web gear has been on my mind and this video comes out. Great minds I guess lmao.
That's right, great minds think alike :D I agree with your direction, get the AR, optics and ammo. You can always finish the backpack and long range kit whenever, that's not going to be get banned...at least not yet :) That's an excellent choice in solid platforms, G19 (Love it), Mossberg 590 (I Have a 500), Remy 700 (Quality DMR) and the 10/22...what else do you need :)
Try living in California. We are constantly having to make purchases based on bans. Many guys maxed out their credit cards during the one week we could buy standard capacity magazines.
Purchase some reloading kits for you weapons. You can buy single round reloaders for each caliber. You do not need a huge setup.
So far as I can tell there is no safe reloading of a .22 Long Rifle.
One of your biggest problems for bug out especially if you are walking is ammo weight. 1500 rounds of .22 weighs 20 lbs. Ammo takes up a lot of your carry capacity. There is a balance.
@@tommyseabee2176 Move.
@@shawnr771 i live in Tennessee, the election is what scares me. If a Democrat gets in there with a Democratic majority then they could make it federal. Tennessee should be a safe state for the meantime. For the ammo issue, caches at the bug out location is a good alternative.

Hey Brother real great vid. Smart info. True facts about layering. Thanx
Glad you enjoyed it!
Check out the PLATEminus PC from blue force gear if in the market for one. Lightest PC out there as far as I know. I also rock an AK with bakes and sposn sso pouches.
I run it minimalist style... I’m in the desert along the border and less things hanging off the side the less I get entangled in mesquite. 3 mag pouch with 1 holding a handgun as it was designed for it. 3 mags for each firearm. Tear away sso ifak, sso dump pouch, double duty to carry anything useful I find along the way.
I still got some of my old TA-50 but use very little of it. I could keep my PC with plates and run the OG Vest sometimes but I just take them out.
Glad to see I’m not the only one in the boonies carrying firearms
Once i found a secure location, I run my full tactical gear and related boom sticks. However I prefer not to run around waving evil guns on UA-cam for obvious reasons. I've heard good things about the PLATEminus PC, thanks for confirming. Bakes and SSO is life. That minimalist rig is great since its super easy to stow in a main pack if needed to go a bit more low profile.
I preferr the Chicom chest rig. Its light, its though, its durable, its easily fixable, and it's simple to use. I do not like those tactical rigs and equipment. I like mine simple with ease of use. Great video.
Chicom rigs are cheap and simple and effective, cheers
ALL looks good thank you for the video. :)
Awesome glad you liked it
I know everyone loves to get the chest rig and load it up with pouches, but I recommend one with a zipper or snap clips or something to open the vest/ chest rig up while in the prone. 0:13 classic example of trying to get low, yet all the mag pouches prevent it......
If you're going to carry 6 mags in your rig as most do, civi and mil, then yes it is about an inch you sacrifice getting prone and of course inches count when bullets are flying. I see your point about potential for unzipping the vest or unsnapping to get lower but imagine doing that and then forgetting you did, your shit flys everywhere when you get up to move. The optimal config for most trigger pullers is 4 mags across the front single row, one mag in the weapon and one fast mag.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I hear you on that. Just a different take on it is all I was offering. And not everyone will get down in the prone, I realize that. I use to run ranges and see the guys come to the range with mag pouches all over the front, and when it came time to shoot from different positions, it always became a problem. Just me offering a different look at it or something to think of is all, no disrespect intended to you or anyone reading this
All good no worries, I imagine as a range xo you've seen some wild configs LOL. Probably the biggest issue I noticed when going prone was not so much at double stack mag config but the fact that my pack frame prevents me from looking forward. I have to roll kinda sideaways to get a good look...with an internal frame that is not an issue.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost excellent point!!
What type of gear would you carry if you have to go back and forth from the woods to an urban environment to get water, carry two bags? I'd only have to go into the urban area every other day. I'd obviously need a couple pairs of clothing
Depending on what I'm wearing I will pack a full change of civilian clothes or simply wear clothes that work well enough in either AO
If you are looking for PTT for the Baufeng UV5R check out the EARMOR OPSMEN M32 MOD3, you will have to get their version of the PTT switch only becasue they use the real NATO pin designations on their headset cable, but it connects seamless to the Baufeng or any radio with the Kenwood style connector. They have a NRR of 23 decibels almost as good as Peltor's but without the hefty $600 price tag, granted the Earmor's are Airsoft grade but if they do the job why not?
I got a surplus LBV with a basic rifleman setup along with the Gerber Strongarm as well, hoping to do a video in the near future but I got some really important stuff to take care of in the next 6 months.
Outstanding tip, your comment is exactly why I love being a UA-cam creator. Cheers!
Nice video man. Keep em coming.
Thanks Hoss

Man Safariland ain't cheap lol, I'm looking at a mid ride battle belt set up for my Glock 19X. Honestly tho, it is the best set up on the market imo.
Does that 3 line pack basically sit atop of ur 1st line butt back, making a hip belt unnecessary? Balancing the weight to ur hips even without a hip belt? I wrote my comment too early. Lol
lol no worries...
I run a Russian jaeger chest rig with a vertx bag, or if I need to go on a raid a duffle bag/ backpack. For weapon akp 7.62x39, plum magpul furniture with triangle stock. I live in a more rural area, so cammo and trees are the optimal way to avoid conflict.
I like this setup, especially the Jaeger chest rig. you have an AK103? I can't remember which one is 7.62x39 w/ the triangle folder...obviously AKS-74U is most famous. Love plum too, great choice.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost thanks for the comment, I got the PSA AKP builders kit, and put put a pic rail on the back for a PSA triangle pistol brace. I also put a 3 piece flashhider on and a vortex ar red dot. Currently saving up to buy a trijicon reflex sight.
Great set up
Thanks Warlan!
If you bring a carbine & several mags, why not armor/helmet? I'm just a civvy with a black powder, but if I was expecting people to sh👀t back, I'd rather have a helmet more than a few mags. Just curious.
Yeah I didn't cover all the details prefer to leave that up to the pros
There’s a group on Facebook for PTTs for headsets that I use. Called, Amplified PTT for Sordins, Comtacs and TCI Headsets. If you have any trouble finding it PM me
If I used Facebook I'd have a look...maybe its time to break out my sock account from retirement lol
What do you do with your chest rig and war belt when you're in an urban environment and or trying to conceal it from people and aren't in a vehicle, or having a vehicle isn't accessible?
I wouldn't bring out that out in a public space unless A) I was at a political rally and chose to wear the gear for a specific threat situation or B) Total no rule of law. For everything else I built a very low profile tactical belt with just the basics...a few mag pouches, blow out kit and holster.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I understand. So if you had to abandon your home, and go but out, obviously if we are traveling in vehicle we can just hide the chest rig and warbelt... But what if we have no choice and we have to walk and or are on foot, and a vehicle isn't possible, how then would you carry/conceal the chest rig/battle belt?
I run Direct Action Gear which is top of the line unfortunately cost is the limitation for most. I have a lot of Condor gear also that I have in reserve for other people and for the price they produce some great gear. End of the day it’s the individual and not the gear that makes the biggest difference.
I love DA, but can't justify a new pack right now. The Dragon Egg in Pencott is nice tho! And I agree the person not the gear is the deciding factor.
The Survival Outpost I have the packs also but I was referring the plate carrier and battle belt. Their new line of gear is really high quality.
@@optimumperformance Gotcha, I'll have to have a look. In the market for a quality PC to replace my el cheapo Condor PC.
The Survival Outpost drop me an email if you want.
How is it going prone with that rig? Looks like it may be a bit difficult.
Prone is not a big deal until you put on the main pack, then the frame prevents you from staying prone and getting a good look around. I do find that if I ran three mags up from, I can obviously get lower to the ground. The new chest rig build I have in the works has mag inserts build into the front panel, making it very slick and low profile.
What is Larping? How does one “larp”?
Live action role play
What pants are those? I love the separate pockets for the pocket knife/flashlight.
We have similar ones for sale, but sold out of this stock recently.
thesurvivaloutpost.com/collections/tactical-combat-pants
So...it's possible to wear chest and waist rigs with a pack? Is that what you're saying?
So yes and no. I wear the chest rig with main pack, however a typical war belt or similar LBV doesn't fit with a main pack so in that setup, I pair the chest rig and war belt with a smaller assault pack or hydro pack that doesn't have a large hip belt. Lots of different ways to configure the gear.
The Survival Outpost ---GOT IT. THANKS. I have a load-bearing vest but never got around to trying it with the 80-85L pack. I don't think they mix, but a chest rig is a good idea.
@@jefffriedberg Yep the typical LBV won't work because the waist belt would have to go directly over the LBV belt which has pouches etc. But the chest rig works fine. The Tactical Tailor MAV is a good option to start with...or a chest rig with integrated mag pouches. Keep a smaller profile and enables you to get lower to the ground.
I've gone out with an lbv, front load 40l assault pack(with camel back attached to front), and my giant ruck on the back. The Hike to base camp was 4 miles. And I stayed for 5 days. XD hiking in was a b$#*& leaving was so much better lmao.

The rrv is supposed to take a full size 10 by 12 ceramic plate
Maybe a different size bib up front would fit, mine is 6x8 inches.
go with the tubes of Vaseline, their more flat, can't be crushed, and don't MELT on you in 90+ degree weather.
What's the name of the extra thick plate under the shirt? Perhaps using a thinner one could keep those double layer ak mags from sticking out like a t.v. tray.
great advice. using AR500 plate

It is indeed a 58ptn bottle, I have three that I've had for 20 years+
That was my gut instinct thanks for verifying. I was happy to see that my canteen cup cover from Self Reliance Outfitters was nearly a perfect fit on the cup
I have the massive plastic mug that goes over the top, also the modern version of the 58 is the crusader cup a steel mug that fits around the bottom of the bottle so you can have it all as one kit.
Ah I like that setup will have to see if i can find a Crusader cup
Each is it's own.. Just to much weight to move around effectively but good set up
thanks...and bear in mind, some of this kit is obviously intended for a hostile environment. overall the concept of laying applies well across the board.
Good
Thanks
Yes that is a 58 pattern water
Thanks for verifying!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Glad to help
Is that an ILBE?
Assault or main pack? Looks like an assault. I have an ILBE main pack, but it's too damn heavy, it's 11 pounds empty and dry. Otherwise it's an amazing pack
That's the ExoMtn k2 3500 pack, my main pack. An amazing pack. I've had both the ILBE and FILBE which is much better, but managed to snag the K2 and can't see myself ever needing another long range bag. Weight unloaded is 5lbs.
exomtngear.com/products/k2-3500-backpack?variant=18217970663491
@@TheSurvivalOutpost awesome. I love the ILBE, but 11 lbs is ridiculous, especially when you're trying to load your buyout kit 10-20% of your body weight. I'm 230lbs, my main bugout load out (1 change of shirt, boxers, socks... sleeping/shelter gear of 1 woobie, 1 mylar tarp, 1 ripstop tar..., rain goretex jacket/pants... cold weather glove liners, neck gaiter, lightweight fleece shirt... firestarter kit of 3 bic lighters, 1 ferro Rod, 1 zippo, and cotton balls... cooking kit of SS morakniv knife, mini multi tool, titanium spork, usgi canteen, usgi ss canteen cup for boiling and cooking/ss Ozark cup for drinking and eating... 1100 Paracord, ductape, zip ties... Small Ziploc mini gun tool bag with batteries, star/Allen keys, cleaning kit for my guns/red dots... 2 72 hour SOS food packs... 1 full/complete ifak... 1 Camelback pack, with 3 liter reservoir, with 1 liter of water in it... Glock 19 loaded and w/1 in chamber, 4 extra mags loaded. That is 26 lbs right there alone... 24 lbs when I'm carrying my Glock 19 and two spare mags on my hip. Plus I still have to carry or wear my 8lbs chest rig that has 3 AR 556 30 round Pmags, and 3 9mm 20 round mags... And my 10lbs war belt that includes 2 AR 556 30 round Pmags, 2 9mm 20 round mags, mag dump pouch, mini ifak with chest seals, gauze, tape and tourniquet, my EDC knife, my holster with Canik TP9SFX with Red Dot RMR and flashlight, and a multi tool. That's 42 lbs total. It would be 53 lbs if I added the ILBE main pack to carry my gear. It's doable, but it is a pain in the ass, and forget a warbelt or carrying a pistol on your hip, the ible kidney straps and amazing yet so damn thick and bulky lol. So I decided to throw all my gear in my 30L bag pack, and conceal my chest rig and warbelt under my BDU jacket I wear, and my warbelt will be on my waist. It's not perfect, but no bugout kit/load out is perfect, especially bags, weight, sizes, etc... I can fully conceal everything in my ILBE pack at the expense of adding 11 lbs from the pack itself and losing ability to hip carry a firearm, or trade complete concealment and grey man status, for lightweight, balanced, semi concealment, semi tactical, defensive and evasive load out. I chose the latter, lightweight and able to protect myself. Being 110% grey man sounds good, but in reality, if people are fucking with someone with carrying a visible gun, they're already and definitely fucking with everyone, including someone they don't see with a gun, grey man or not, they don't know the weapon.is concealed if there is a weapon. So at that point I see it better to remain evasive and get the hell out of dodge, but I believe in having my weapon on hand on standby while I'm moving, as well to show force. Most civilians on the street aren't armed with guns, and even if they are, when they see someone with a gun, they usually go the other direction or run. It's not like the movies (the purge) people aren't coming after you especially when you're visibly armed, even if they're out the rioting and causing hell, they're jumping and assaulting people that are unarmed and alone. And besides, you're supposed to be evasive and on the move, not standing or moving along the idiots. Just my ideas and load out. Figured I'd share
hey, im rocking a beofang with my peltors and a peltor ptt to beofang conection
Perfect! Exactly what I needed to hear.
Yes peltor has an adapter for that should fit the baofeng, or the airsoft comtac has an adapter if you have trouble finding it from peltor/3m
Make some choices in the gear you're going to rely on, and sell some of that which doesn't make the cut. Use that money to buy some body armor. None of us is going to utilize 2 or 3 different rucks, belts, etc. Get your armor situation squared away.
Good idea, but what you saw there is my essential. One setup for wilderness survival, one setup for hostile situations (war belt, chest rig, pack). Now....if I could find a company to hook up some armor and PC for review, that would be perfect :)
I would be more worried about the handle of your blade crushing your ribs if you fall or something, more than I would be about the Glock going of and shooting my leg, highly unlikely.
That was a concern but after testing it out I could not make that happen. If the blade was mounted lower it would have been an issue.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Nice.
Do they make something to attach it to your thigh or something i wonder?
@@DmitiryPopyoutopov not sure for that blade, however the bigger version, the LMF II has a leg drop setup available IIRC
Omg larping some one loves RPGs Lmao my favorite is FF7

Why does everyone carry a fire starter when I'm thinking all you need is a waterproof lighter.????
Sure I carry I both because the age old survival rule: Two is one, one is none. When that Bic runs out of fluid or the flint striker breaks, the firesteel ALWAYS works.
Get out and do, yes sir, hard part is getting guys to be men and train, most just wanna have the gear but never wear it.

maybe it makes them feel better? feelings ain't facts tho and wanna bes always sort themselves
@@TheSurvivalOutpost lol true only downside there are no men in my area willing to train, lone wolf it is till the boys here grow a pair
Too tactical looking in my humble opinion. But i like your gear/loadout/ etc.
Glad you liked it. This gear is intended for use in the wilderness setting so I chose primary based on that AO.
USMC?
Yup, how did you guess...
@@TheSurvivalOutpost You remind me of my old SSgt.
Being former military then you know that you don’t want loose straps on your kit. Tape or strap them up.
I hate loose crap, my electrical tape wrap finally cracked and broke when I was out...oops.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Forget electrical tape. I recently switched to Gorilla Brand duct tape.
Also as much as I like the MOLLE webbing I do not trust it. 550 cord square knot and two half hitches. Tie the pouches you do not change out IN PLACE.
After you get all your gear squared up. Jump up and down if you jingle jangle, tape and tie as needed till all you hear is your body hitting the ground.
NO LARPING THAT'S FOR SNOWFLAKES! !! GET TO A TRAINING CENTER
Yes indeed!
Dudes stuck in the military lol someone help him out
If you haven't already, take a look at the Foxtrot MK2 by Helikon-Tex. Similar butt pack.
Hadn't heard of that before, thanks
My edc is my Böker folder, cellphone, and pencil. I use to carry a pen light in my jacket, along with a credit card knife, but meh.... I need to separate necessities to molle pouches so I can do easy swaps from day pack to my 72 hr. And on my chest rig I load it out when I use it...
Sounds like your on the right path. What brand chest rig are you using?
@@TheSurvivalOutpost I'm not a fan of dedicated gear. I use my standard issue LBV. When I have my ruck or 72 HR bag I wear it with my load out. Along with my med kit and other goodies. I keep a pouch empty in case I want to roam around without all the weight. Throw some hooah bars and jerkey in it and it replaces a day pack.
The only brand gear I carry is a Fox Tactical 69L and the Walmart molle pack that I believe you did a video on. The rest is my old military gear and things I used while in lol.
Please tell me you don't plan on living on mountain house meals lol so, where's your snare traps and rabbits on the fire?? Let's use that fancy shit huh
I prefer to keep those items in a cache vs carrying extra weight for hunting and trapping. I'm not Daniel Boone living off the land. I have a predefined BOL with what I need setup in advance.
