Green Beret War Hero Gun Belt Breakdown | Tactical Rifleman

[@krakentacticaledc]

It was a absolute honour working with Randy bringing his design of his Damn Cowboy survival knife to life.
Something I learnt that nobody knows is the secret to how he sharpens all his blades. Randy actually uses the ends of his moustache to get them razor sharp. His silver whiskers are stronger and lighter that spider-mans webs and harder than diamonds. Rumour has it DARPA have been trying to steal a strand so they can replicate it and use as next generation tank and body armour.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Too true

[@gregordawgbin5227]

I want those knives, too cool

[@mrdrprof99]

Pretty sure that is somehow against the Geneva Convention.

[@krakentacticaledc]

Geneva? Never met her 🤠

[@MrFeuerzauber]

Some people carry knives on their gun belts. And other people carry a gun on their knife-belt 😄 I love it, thanks and great respect!

[@FishHuntFreedom]

The amount of knowledge, experience, and pure American Badass-ness between these two is simply amazing. Thank you both 🇺🇸

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for watching. TR

[@bigtuna5334]

I Second That..!!!!!

[@saint5203]

I personally really appreciate as a civilian having someone like yourself Carl and all the people on your show to share your knowledge with us. This is stuff that was not around 10 or 15 years ago. If you didn't serve you simply didn't have access to the knowledge. You guys are doing a huge service to the average Joe like me. Knowing enough to get the job done. Learning from the best. Thank you.

[@TacticalRifleman]

That’s why we do it

[@ChemistyStudent]

Karl carries gold with him to deal with financial troubles on the path of life. Randy carries a knife shop to catch, gut, skin, cook and financial troubles to passers-by on the path of life.

Karl, Randy, Kraken and The Stache. The Four Horsemen of Badassery! Thx guys!

Karl thanks for bringing him back.

[@doms.6701]

Karl, you remind me of my grandpa, who was a Vietnam vet, when I was a child. The way you talk and hold yourself. Idk, it's like seeing him and I miss him greatly.
Great video and information Randy.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Cherish the memories. Thanks for watching, TR

[@rickreneau5230]

So great to work with you guys all those years. Honor and respect to you both.

[@billbarber7262]

Karl, thank you for everything you do and for introducing us to Randy, he is Awesome. Please give Randy a message for me, let him know that the training that he gave us on the catwalk in the shoothouse was priceless and that I like his big-ass knife design, I just got my #022 from Kraken a few weeks ago.

[@adroitredtiger]

Randy was once known as 'Logen Nine Fingers'
'you can never have too many knives.... You have to be realistic about these things...'

I just hope people know of this quote and the books they come from. Good quote drop!

I'm a Malazan simp. Is the series worth reading?

[@brianoswald1067]

Take what you need but need what you take. I saw a guy loose a Randall on a jump years ago. Can’t be too sentimental w/ gear.

[@joejohnson4183]

@@brianoswald1067 Back in the day I was so proud I got a Randall knife , so I thought I was the baddest monkey in the jungle . When one of my trainers ask to see it and of course I handed it to him and he said , you really like this knife , to which I replied you bet . He then surprised me by saying get a different one and leave this behind . Curiously I asked why , and he replied because if you drop it you will get killed going back for it . He then pulled out his KaBar and stated , good knife , does the job and it's cheap . Lose it , get another , it's just a tool and for Gods sake never give it a name . Lesson learned .

"Honey, Karl said we need more gear!!' He's never wrong.

That was an awesome. Aw3some video SGM! Thank you

[@Aikibiker1]

I love the RATS tourniquet because it is a tourniquet I can carry everywhere, everyday. I have been in a situation where I needed a tourniquet and my CAT TQ was in my first aid kit in my car. Fortunately there was a trauma RN handy and the patient survived, however I learned that if the lifesaving device is not on your person, it may as well be on the moon.
When i started carrying the RATS TQ I was working security in a hospital emergency room. I got with our trauma surgeon who had plenty of experience in with the Army in Iraq and other medical staff. We tested the RATS using a pulse doplar machine. What we found was the RATS can indeed occlude a femoral artery, but it must be wrapped with continued tension, if the person applying the TQ allows it to retract even a little while applying it the tourniquet does not work. So unlike a CAT or other TQ where you just tighten until the blood stops, you can actually fuck up while applying a RATS TQ. Understanding that shortcoming is in my opinion very important if you are going to carry an RATS.
That said I carry a RATS in my pocket of my normal pants wrapped in a bandana wherever I go. I cannot do that with a CAT, though I have CAT TQ's stashed in various places (house, vehicles, body armor, etc. the RATS is always on my person.

[@TacticalRifleman]

somebody carries a knife somebody carries explosives. You can carry PRIMASHEET® 1000 explosive sheet inside your war belt😎😎 , Randy is an awesome guy👍👍👍👍

[@erikmckaygunsmithing6470]

Gotta love randy, he's such a improvising badass. Has layers on everything that he dose.

[@ABCKorpi]

Dump Pouches are awesome. I usually put one on my belt when I go hiking so I can just grab stuff and put it in there.
Also a shout out to Randy and his candles. I started making those and try to get them known here in Switzerland.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for sharing, TR

[@slowmo9957]

Knives..hell yeah, Randy. I too have been self-conscious about how many reasons there are to have a knife in certain places and those places are numerous. Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone.😂

[@kevinfryer380]

Never get tired of the videos they give me a lot of ideas to improve my kit

[@stevencunningham4680]

Hi Carl , first I want to thank you for your service. Secondly this gun belt is totally laid out perfect. It took a lot of time and thought to plan the belt and set it up , plus I'm sure experience. Great job and love the channel.

[@Mike-kr9ys]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this. Imagine all the years, knowledge, and experience reflected in Randy's belt setup. Sir, I salute you.

[@Fightosaurus]

So much great knowledge here, nothing more to say than the others have said, just a strong, "thank you, gentlemen" to both of ya.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for watching, TR

[@sarahshowalter9539]

Very well done, I'm working on mine today after watching this.

[@austincummins7712]

I have one of those Cold Steel Outdoorsman blades- very unique and a solid blade especially for the cost! Cool to see that it is a Randy-approved knife as well.

[@YenzHouse]

I was thinking the same. He never said the name of the blade. But I also own the same knife and knew what it was. my sheath is leather not kydex.

[@hogdown2489]

Karl, great content; thank you both for taking your valuable time to share with us with your insights and experience. I have a belt set up almost like yours - thanks for the discount - and I have squeezed on the belt a piece of bushcraft gear that I have come to really appreciate: a Bahco Laplander folding camp saw. For me, this saw has become "the new hotness". Thanks again for the awesomeness that is TR !

[@lucasupright]

So much great information, not just a product review.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@devanharding9282]

Been waiting on a video just like this for a long time thank you

[@krakentacticaledc]

Randy's belt is 200× better than Batmans and more useful

[@OL-Tom]

My Safariland holster is a mid drop and I use one leg strap just to keep it tight to me. I need to add more knives .... Only have two

[@ArcanusLibero]

This is a great video even after a year. Thanks for sharing Gents... It is good to hear the differences...

[@TacticalRifleman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@taylorjohansen4955]

the Hyfin dressing actually accomplishes two very important things after application- it prevents additional air from entering the thorax and it also allows for any air that has entered between the lung in the chest wall to be vented. This out not in decreases the chance of a tension pneumothorax. Evacuation of expanding intrathoracic air from high altitude flights are also a consideration and that is a tertiary and highly beneficial design.

[@dsm1cdk]

Great video I kept pausing to write down information!

[@edrag69]

He's a stronger old guy than me carrying all that🙂. I've been in le for 24 years and it gets harder and harder on my lower back to carry weight on my belt for a 12 or 16 hour shift

[@davidcarter8457]

Totally awesome! So much useful information. I’m saving this for future reference because I don’t have a belt set up.
Thanks guys.

[@ArcanusLibero]

I love it. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I don't carry everything you guys do and I carry some alternatives that work for me.

[@Valorius]

The ECQC course teaches that you should not carry a knife because it can be used against you, but every SPECOPs guy and Grunt i've ever met and served with carries a knife for CQB/HTH. Myself included (I'm former Infantry)

[@1.forestrunner]

Always enjoy listening to Randy!

[@upstateny90]

Good stuff. Randy is the man when you ask him for a knife he asks you which would you prefer as he starts pulling knives out of everywhere I got one for cutting, one for stabbing, one for cutting a tree down lol 😆.

[@Bigfezzig]

🤘🤘🤘

[@marktechsci]

Plus the one to stab the tree into compliance before he cuts it down!😂

Great Friday video as always! I really enjoy videos with Randy and I like to hear why people carry what they do. I'd be interested in what type of knife sharpener Randy or you use in the field. Thanks again for great content Karl.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Randy likes a Speedy Sharp

[@floridahuntsman7915]

All the knives are a sold concept. I have read of Apache warriors carried as many as possible also .

[@clarkrp1960]

So, what is the total weight of that belt setup? Seems heavy for everyday use. If I'm dropped into the middle of nowhere, I get it. But for simple civilian urban requirements, i.e. riots, unrest, Canadian invasion (lol), it may be a bit much. But, love the review and actually made some changes to my belt. Moved the dump pouch to off hand (duh) for dumping mags. Also added sixteen knives and 40 tourniquets. ;)

[@thewordman6013]

"Canadian invasion", hahahaha, love it!!!

[@rogersmith8480]

The last part, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikehoncho4637]

Dude it is way to heavy. That much weight on your hips gives you the classic police duck waddle/run and wears you down. Not practical

[@TacticalRifleman]

Mike, honestly, you’re talk shit about how Randy has ran his belt for decades. He is literally in 3 history books and has 40 years of wearing kit. YOU might not be able to wear it, but Randy certainly CAN and HAS.
Thanks for watching. TR

[@rogersmith8480]

@@TacticalRifleman What I have on my Cobra belt is 4 5.56 coupler mags with the Safariland connections that I got from Rogers Shooting School back in the day. 4 17 rounds .45 ACP, one bayonet mount and a strap from T Rex Arms. 2 water G.I. water canteens. One large dump pouch with a medical kit. It's heavy, but wearing it with the black Tactical LC2 ALICE Belt suspenders shoulder harness. I changed out the old connections and replaced it with HK Snap hooks with black out and white markings in. I had those U.S. G.I. military Alice clips belt keepers, four on my Cobra belt and I hooked my HK Snap hooks to the clips. Works great, with a full load, it's light as a feather. Can run and gun with it. Can carry it all day too. Just letting you know.

Awesome video guys. Most appreciated.
