    Condor seems to have improved their manufacturing process. Bear from Bear Independent also runs Condor gear and says the same about it. Even to the "trolls" who say "It's airsoft gear not military gear." 😅 Like you said, when U.S isn't paying for it. Trying out inexpensive gear and seeing how it will last is a MUST! Great video, Michael! Continued prayers for your family! Shalom!

      Glad to see other CONDORS out there!! I too got my inspiration for Condor gear from Bear Independent. Bear, who appears to be close to my Ht. and Wt. In the First of many, many, views, the gear looked tight, looked good when on*(that's IMPORTANT, ya know)so I figured, "why not"?, and I bit. Went all in. **(OHHH NOOO!!!!! What I just said.., did it sound...GAY??? It didn't sound gay to anyone, did it??!! It wasn't supposed to be, okay??!!)** To say that I was pleased with the gear is a gross understatement. Fit better and more durable than my old GI equipment, especially my ratty-a**ed, ceramic plate, flak jacket!!😅 And, @Tactical Preparedness, thanks for showing your chest rig and hydro pack!! Being Condor also, I know it will integrate well with the extra pouches I've got. My wife saw it, now I have to order TWO!!!
      *NOTE : My Bride of 37 years refuses to get B A. Too heavy. (but, she's never been shot at, either!!)lolol!!! Maybe get the chest rig on her and slowly add weight to the pouches. Might work......🤔

    Afternoon Michael. Looks similar to what i run, without the hydration pack...which i like and will be looking at getting one. Thanks for the idea. ✔️ One thing i added to mine is, on the straps, i added a small flashlight pouch on one and a pepper spray pouch on the other. With those two pouches on, it also hangs a little lower than i like. 👍

    I personally would never run a Condor plate carrier. From my experience, they just don't hold the plates that well, but their chest rigs are fine. I've since upgraded to a Haley strategic heavy, but I've still got my Condor chest rig. I keep it around in case I've gotta lend it to someone if shtf, I've also been running the Condor LCS gun belt for almost 5 years. The only real problem I have is that the buckle on it will break with use, so I replaced it with a cobra buckle, but it's great.
    People at the range will laugh at it saying "it's Condor, it sucks," but I used it in the Marines, and it's never given me any real problems. A lot of other marines also use it because it's cheap, and it works. Besides I'm not interested in taking advise from people who put their kit on once a year fantasize about being deadly when they've put no effort into becoming such.
    Make sure ya'll are training boys. It IS a perishable skill.

    You are spot-on with the idiocracy reference and that is a great movie and we are kind of already there I think. I'm also glad someone else is making videos about Condor equipment because when I first started buying Condor gear a few years back I was under the impression after I bought it but it was airsoft stuff but when I was looking at it I was like well this is pretty good quality stuff. So I wasn't sure if the airsoft reference was real but I saw an interview with one of their sales and marketing guys that shot show this year and he talked about how they did start out doing Airsoft equipment but they have moved into legitimate tactical gear and I think the quality in this product shows as well as the price it's unbeatable. Except maybe for Tacticon Armament gear. I'm actually really interested in that water bladder bag you got there cuz I didn't know you could use it to carry gear that's pretty cool.

Can I set up a chest rig to do that and just use my day backpack to carry random other things. Like first aid, water, emergency blanket/settler, and poncho or is it just to uncomfortable to wear a chest rig and day backpack? I just need advice which way to go.

    Have you considered a comparison between chest rigs, plate carriers, and the old fashioned LBE? I started playing Army forty-some years ago with an LBE. Once you got past field grade and flag officers trying to dictate what hip the canteen was worn or the way the poncho was folded over the back of the belt, or which strap to wear the pouch with the field dressing, they could be pretty useful and comfortable. I never used the later renditions with angle attached mag pouches, but had used Eagle vests, Tactical Tailor modular chest right and a plate carrier. Just never got used to the way the chest rigs distributed the weight and bulk of mags and such. Of course in what I’ve seen of evolutions of “battle” belts, I’m kind of inclined to think that the LBE concept will likely come back around. Then again, like you, hoping I never need to put that stuff back on again.

    • @AsymmetricalPreparedness

    • @DutchK75
      @DutchK75 9 місяців тому

      The Army now has the A-TAPS that's similar to a belt kit setup. Rides low.
      I started that 0311 life with a LBE. It isn't my favorite thing. We were allowed to use a Y or H-Harness setup if we wanted to. I spent my own money on a H-Harness. SAW Gunners used it. An LBE is a way to carry the stuff you need. If it works for you...🤷🏼‍♂️ I personally still like a Alice H-Harness setup. It works.
      I have two USMC TAPS chest rigs that I have modded out. I like them immensely YMMV.
      I don't know how the LBE handles P-Mags. I have pretty much become a snob for running windowed gen 3 P-Mags exclusively.
      The only belt kit setup I run is with a carrier. I really don't like belts that are not suspended. Bad for the hips. But that's the price you have to pay for keeping a carrier slicked down.
      4 tours in the GWOT learns you up on the fact that 7 mag loadout isn't cutting it. So if you do run a LBE. I'd add a Alice 3 mag carrier or two to your belt. And I'd run a ass pack. It makes vehicle operations almost impossible...Trade offs.
      On my TAPS I'm almost running Blue Force Gear pouches exclusively. Other than canteen pouches. It's the expensive route. But the stuff lays flatter than almost anything I've seen.

      @ Missing my point. You run equipment according to the task at hand, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Speed and mobility is security.
      Yes, carry what you need, however, that’s contingent to your environment and circumstances specific to you and the threat and/or stimulus thats menacing to your livelihood. I.e., if you’re in backwoods Virginia trying to stay low signature for survival and continuation of life, necessarily outfitting 345,000 mags on a chest rig probably wouldn’t be my first choice. Yes, take enough to mitigate a kinetic event and break contact in order to focus on the aforementioned primary mission. Blending in is the better idea.
      On the other side of that coin, if I am on a FOB in the korengal valley or on patrol through terrain that’s heavily occupied with insurgent forces. More often than not, I will be forced to remain in that landscape and sustain in kit during such engagement, the topographical environment alone will drastically complicate logistical support. While considering all of the aforementioned, under these particular factors it makes sense the need to carry certain supplies and provisions more than others. It’s all relative to your AO and you will be faced with.
      Being a chameleon is always better than being a tiger shark.
      If you’re pressing on metal with 3-5
      lbs, shit probably went bad. Just saying. I don’t mean to be rude and or cynical. It’s just an idea and opinion, nothing more. Overall I think you’re trying to help people and that is awesome 🙏🏼.
