24 hour kit/missions always ending up taking 72 hours...experience. If you are picking up a rifle then a gunshot first aid kit is a must. Since you are in the mountains the ability to stay dry, warm, hydrated, fed will be key. Don't forget ankle wraps for twisted ankles, coms for calling for help, and perhaps a colored smoke to help rescuers identify your location. Weapons and ammo are almost secondary in these situations. You have to be able to get to the fight. Hope this helps.
All of that is useless weight if you are operating under the assumptions of this channel, that is a collapsing state or wrol. A gunshot first aid kit might buy you a few hours but in a wrol scenario you would have not access to that hospital in time, so you better die faster and suffer less, and save on the weight so you are not shot in the first place. Same for the coms if you do not expect any help, or your help cannot come by helicopter or other fast means of transportation. Same for the colored smoke.
I am not in the military. However I am a dirty civilian who takes care of business. I've been on mission in all types of weather. And I'll share some advice with you. That is...a 55 gallon drum liner type trash bag will save your ass.
Also I have to tell you always remember water fire kit and tarp with sleeping bag . A good fixed blade knife and a fire steel. Along with a first aid kit and 500 rounds of ammo for each firearm. This may seem like a lot but it can easily fit in a 35 liter backpack I recommend 511 rush or tacticon armament battle pack.
Ngl, I grew up backpacking a lot, and by far the most used item I’ve ever used (besides like a knife) is trash bags and Walmart bags. Trash bags for everything in the bag, shopping bags for my feet.
@@BrassFacts 100% agree. I’ve been a BCM guy for over a decade. Only exception is my DD5V3 as BCM doesn’t make a AR10. BCM was top of the line 10 years ago but now it’s more upper/mid grade. I’ve shot higher end stuff and it’s great but I see no reason to change. Maybe if I got into competition, I’d want something different.
The pistol takes up space that rifle ammunition could take up. However, grunts are also in teams and on the off chance that one rifle out of the 20 present goes down the world doesnt end. But a one man unit having his rifle go down is basically death or espacing my a miracle.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz Yeah I'm on team secondary, at least for any possibility for being in an urban environment. Besides what you mentioned a civilian doing this stuff likely already has a CC. The weight is pretty little all things considered and I like it because you may not have your rifle in front of you for some reason. If it's slung on you back you'll be able to get a pistol on your chest rig or OWB holster faster than the rifle off your back.
Dogs never ruin a take. My dogs go where I go. Pretty much everything gets left behind before my dogs. I run that same Mystery Ranch Two-Day Assault pack as an EDC "Get Home" or first level "bug out" bag. I carry it with me pretty much everywhere. My wife calls it my purse. I have an IFAC on the outside, and everything from cell phone chargers and batteries to TP and a basic weapon maintenance kit inside of it. The pack has evolved over the years and in theory contains everything I need to spend an unplanned night out, whether it is in the mountains or the back of a vehicle. I choose the Mystery Ranch because, quite frankly, it kicks ass. I went to MSU-Bozeman back when Dana Designs was winning awards in Backpacker Magazine, and they were located right in the Gallatin Valley, so they were a big hit with college kids interested in "Mountains and Minds." I gave my Dana Designs ruck to a girl friend and have missed it ever since. So when I decided to get serious with the concept of an EDC pack, I gravitated towards Mystery Ranch as the torch bearers for Dana Designs. I got a good deal on the Two Day Assault pack, and never looked back. That pack has been with me everywhere; day hikes with the dogs in the mountains, hunting, or just the back of my truck, for years, and it doesn't even have a stitch missing. Bomb proof, the right size, good compartmentalization. I love my Mystery Ranch. Solid choice there, even if you did get it from a video game.
They are heavier, however I started to replace the garbage bags I used to carry and started carrying trash compactor bags instead. Huge upgrade in my opinion. Nice set up.
Nice to see a guy recognizing when a pistol is unnecessary. Any time I've trained in the hills, I have never once thought "I'm so glad I have all this extra weight around my waist!" When I ditched it last year, I felt way better, and really dumb for not taking it off sooner. I'd definitely carry it in an urban environment, though. The way I'm set up, if I'm venturing into an urban environment after a SHTF event, I'm going on a bicycle with a trailer, because I'm going in with the intent of taking something out, and drawing a pistol while bailing off a bike is way easier than unslinging a rifle.
Great system! Pretty similar to mine, but I enjoyed the fresh take. One thing you might check out- a combo of HPG mountain serape and Onetigris tentsformer. They pack down to the size of your Snugpak, but serve as a woobie/poncho on the move, and a shelter/sleeping bag when you make camp. I pretty much always use them unless I’m bringing the family.
@@BrassFacts glad to hear it. My environment is deciduous, so I usually don’t even bother with a sleeping pad, just a shit ton of floor debris- looks like you might need one out in Utah though!
I can’t recommend having a backup way to defend yourself such as a pistol my dude. I totally understand where your coming from on carrying it, been there done that. Get you a hill people gear original kit bag and you can carry everything that you have in your chest rig plus a gun where you can access it easily while wearing a ruck. Also a great ruck that I can’t recommend enough is the crossfire dg3, I’ve had mystery ranch and eberlestock and max pedition and all that but the setup and the frame with the dg3 makes it carry very very well. As far as shelter goes you should get you a poncho, check out the mest poncho by bcusa they rock very hard. And ditch the trash bags and get a casualty blanket by grabbed or rothco. And your pretty set but you should get better chow. Life boat rations are heavy might as well get mres and enjoy some flavor.
the chow is emergency only, you'll notice half the bag is empty, it'll get packed for the task. I do like that crossfire DG3, not really the same niche as this bag, but I do actually need a better heavy duty rucking bag, not a fan of my current one. Thanks for the input
Excellent breakdown. I’m in the PNW and I’m surrounded by mountains too. As to the Bivy comments... Try the snugpak SF bivvi (their spelling not mine - silly brits). It is neither big and heavy (stuffs to a bag the size of your fist and weighs about 11 oz), but also doesn’t become a soggy mess sleeping through the night. I’ve spent many a night in one during foul weather and it’s in my go to worst case sleep setup kit. I also have the Snugpak jungle blanket (which I sewed a 2 way zipper onto to be used as a sleeping bag OR blanket) and I have used them in tandem. Very effective and small. Not the Hilton but you’d make it through the night. My 2c
ill give it a look. I'll be making more of a 48hr setup (this is much closer to a 24hr or less setup). And I dont really like my current bivvy (great, but massive)
Yeah I think the idea of it being a backup is kind of a videogame thing. In real life for the weight of a pistol, holster, etc. you could just bring more mags for your AR. Definitely useful in their niche but there's no reason for the extra weight if there's no possible situations that would warrant it.
keep the trash bags for sealing up your gear etc, but add a GI Poncho. that combined with your woobie aka "Poncho liner" will keep you dry and fairly warm
Good bag choice on the terraframeteraframe, it’s a 50L. If you want a great bag that is a little more compact get the MR sawtooth. A lot of guys that do multi day sniper comps use them. For your water bag use a MSR dromedary bag.
@@BrassFacts I think the highlight of most of your videos is how real you get. It is "stunning and brave" for you to get real about pistols. This is a truth rarely if ever spoken about because it doesn't fit the larp fantasy many pursue and because they always have a pistol in Call of Duty. IMHO its always good to train with pistols, especially since pistols are the most prevalent firearm used in self defense, but it is refreshing to hear you call it like it is in the POU of this setup that would realistically apply to many of us and our situations. Its easy for guntoobers to say they will always carry a pistol but when you climb mountains with all your kit you make your point very well. This makes your point very hard to refute without someone actually demonstrating the same and when at the top of the mountain honestly being able to say the weight was worth it.
I am guessing that I live about 230mi NE of you. My home is at 8,200 ft and on the heavily wooded north side of a mountain. Your 'cooler in the evening' statement was funny to me because it is friggin' freezing here at night even in July. In winter, I just wouldn't go out over night 'cause I'd die. You and I also seem disagree about what is too heavy to hike up a mountain with, I look at your recce/mountain gear and shake my head thinking "no, I couldn't do that":-) Thanks again for the video.
I will say one thing I would definitely change is the toilet paper. Wet wipes are better in my experience not just for the bathroom but after a few days in the field it is nice to be able to clean up a little. They are also the best thing I have found to remove face paint if I am going back into the city or a populated area and obviously don't want to be walking around covered in paint.
Any video with a reference to the grandaddy of systems philosophy, Nutnfancy, gets a like. Very sound thought process on short range reconnaissance and patrol. I would probably still run more magazines but the reality is that breaking contact to get away with information to a fob will never use even a single mag so long as you know what you're doing.
Fido approved with 2 paws up! Only difference I would suggest would be going to a large caliber such a 308 or 6.5CM especially for mountainous and urban situations. The wind can be a 5.56 killer in both scenarios. Granted you will be carrying a bit more weight and a little less ammo, but your role here is not offensive, it's just the opposite. You want to keep you distance.
Hell man modern .308 are shrinking in weight. My 16" 308 I'm almost done with weights 6.8lbs off the company website unloaded, add my primary arms 5x, a magazine, and light it's close 10-11lbs. The same weight as my coworkers kitted 5.56 build with lpvo and night vision crap on it.
The best true Tarkov rucksack that I have made in mother Russia is the SSO 60 liter rucksack. That is my main rucksack for camping and emergency rucksack. In addition, instead of the wooby blanket, I take my patu blanket, a knife, flint and steal, titanium 1 liter bottle plus cup, cordage, and a rubberized poncho. I also have a map, compass, head lamp, cargo tape, booboo kit, trauma kit, pemmican, and sea emrgency food, hot chocolate (dark chocolate brick) power bank with cordage and a silcok key. And I always have my plash palatka. Some baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Obviously I also have my first and secondary weapon. My main weapon is my KP 9 with three mags and my glock 19 5th generation with 4 mags. I decided to have such because I live in Philadelphia; an urban environment were if i had to egress, I would be fighting in less than 50 meters or less to go to my destination. Along the way, I have cashes with more lethal system such as AR pistol in 223; 11.5 inch barel for the outskirts.
@@BrassFacts a gameplan is great in theory. I did some backpacking with that kit trying to figure out what needs to change and what needs to be better. So far I am happy with the setup until it needs to evolve and adapt to my new environment. Hopefully I never need to use it. Also, with this kit I have my Chicom 56. I would take my essentials from my bag and add it to my chest rig so I have it easily accessible.
If I may, I would suggest that bringing a quart size smart water bottle that will fit on a sawyer water filter, would be better than an extra nalgene. And some sodium, and powdered drink mixes or tea to go with it. A SOL green Mylar sheet is quiet, tear resistant and low cost, and about 6 ounces.. Use one as a tarp and one inside your snug pack to plus up the warmth. I have used a poncho liner with a SOL double sized Mylar sheet safety pinned to it down to 30F with extra clothing for years. I reinforced the Mylar sheet with clear packaging tape everywhere I pinned it, and put tape where I later cut a neck opening. Because I put a 22 or 24” inch zipper in the poncho liner to allow me to wear both the liner and Mylar sheet together or separately as a poncho. So it can be a tarp, rain or thermal layer, or sleep bag which weighs in at 26 or 28 oz. I also carry a tan foam zip mat to sit or lie on. But klymit makes a 16 oz inflate sleep mat that’s the size of a water bottle if you don’t want to spend a lot of money or tie something to the outside of your pack.. I enjoyed the video. Thanks
Great video, much appreciated. Looking to put something like this together myself. I live well out in the country and in Alaska where earthquakes and volcanoes can impact travel. Looking to build something similar that allows me to get from my house to my wife and son in town if need be and get them home securely. If I am in town I can make my way to the house without many needs but if I’m gonna leave my home and enter the jungle, I want to be ready. Keep up the good work brother. Malon Labe
It seems like my Scout Rifle might be appropriate for this. It’s lighter than an AR, it’s .308, and I can carry a few detachable box magazines for it just the same as an AR. That coupled with a pair of binos and a radio and I’m almost there.
I like mystery ranch but I hate those weird zip bags. If that main zipper down the middle failed you'd be screwed. You'd have to use 550 cord or zip ties to sew it up using the molle.
Fix to prevent the bulge in your back is to get a plastic garbage can that fits and trim it down. I did this for my ALICE pack years ago. Although, not sure that would work with that bag.
So you plan on going through a situation bad enough that you’re carrying a rifle and kit with 3 magazines and no shelter? No fixed blade knife, shovel, or axe?
different kit. I have a ruck setup that is built around sustainment. Which has all of the above. This is more to get somewhere, and then back in less than 48 (or even 24hr).
@@BrassFacts Forget 48 hours, it takes 30 minutes to die from hypothermia which you can suffer even when the temperature is just below 50 degrees, if you get wet.
I think a pistol is less a backup and more another tool for a possible situation. Realistically it's more efficient capability wise to just bring more ammo instead of a handgun unless you'd be in a situation where having a long gun isn't ideal.
I'm also a fan of trash bags but in my opinion I'd go with a bigger stronger, better bag that's is not bright white. Like a heavy duty contractor drum bag.
it it use to have a front, but it came off when I was doing nv stuff. I haven't put it back on because I don't want to take the acog off to rezero. So for now it just sits there all alone, waiting to be paired up again.
Have you tried the Snugpak SF bivy, the 2GoSystems bivys or the high end SOL bivy? They are all extremely light and with the exception of the Snugpak I can honestly say that they don't condense very bad at all, at least in my AO.
Man I got some of those ration bricks, apple cinnamon. I opened one and tried it just to test it out ya know, they actually aren’t that bad considering what they are for. I know they aren’t supposed to taste like a 5 star meal or anything considering their purpose, but definitely require some water to drink with lol
1) Titanium canteens weighs less than a plastic bottle, you can use them to boil water and they can take a metric 🤬 ton of abuse before they break. 2) Good quality merino wool is lighter than cotton and nylon, keeps you cool when it’s hot, keeps you warm when it’s cold, naturally anti microbial and flame retardant. 3) he’s absolutely right in that foods are just more 🤬 to carry, get some high calorie snacks you can eat while on the move…for examples of different types, just look at what through hikers and ultra marathon participants bring. 4) get in shape now, working on your physical fitness while you’re running from a zombie horde will not end well for you.
If this was a true recce setup it would have an LPVO in every pouch and pocket.
It's the only way man.
🤣
optics all the recces!
YOU GET AN LPVO!

This.
Dogs never ruin takes
probably the best part tbh.
Value added
Life without dogs is not a life I want to live.
Adding value to life and filming.
But the biggest question is: is the dog part of the kit?
24 hour kit/missions always ending up taking 72 hours...experience. If you are picking up a rifle then a gunshot first aid kit is a must. Since you are in the mountains the ability to stay dry, warm, hydrated, fed will be key. Don't forget ankle wraps for twisted ankles, coms for calling for help, and perhaps a colored smoke to help rescuers identify your location. Weapons and ammo are almost secondary in these situations. You have to be able to get to the fight. Hope this helps.
All of that is useless weight if you are operating under the assumptions of this channel, that is a collapsing state or wrol. A gunshot first aid kit might buy you a few hours but in a wrol scenario you would have not access to that hospital in time, so you better die faster and suffer less, and save on the weight so you are not shot in the first place. Same for the coms if you do not expect any help, or your help cannot come by helicopter or other fast means of transportation. Same for the colored smoke.

trashbags when it's really slushy (half melted snow) outside the socks, inside the shoes is clutch.
@@BrassFacts for sure

And I always have my plash palatka. Some baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Obviously I also have my first and secondary weapon. My main weapon is my KP 9 with three mags and my glock 19 5th generation with 4 mags. I decided to have such because I live in Philadelphia; an urban environment were if i had to egress, I would be fighting in less than 50 meters or less to go to my destination. Along the way, I have cashes with more lethal system such as AR pistol in 223; 11.5 inch barel for the outskirts.
sounds like you have your gameplan worked out. Good luck if you ever need to use it.
@@BrassFacts a gameplan is great in theory. I did some backpacking with that kit trying to figure out what needs to change and what needs to be better. So far I am happy with the setup until it needs to evolve and adapt to my new environment. Hopefully I never need to use it. Also, with this kit I have my Chicom 56. I would take my essentials from my bag and add it to my chest rig so I have it easily accessible.
If I may, I would suggest that bringing a quart size smart water bottle that will fit on a sawyer water filter, would be better than an extra nalgene. And some sodium, and powdered drink mixes or tea to go with it. A SOL green Mylar sheet is quiet, tear resistant and low cost, and about 6 ounces.. Use one as a tarp and one inside your snug pack to plus up the warmth. I have used a poncho liner with a SOL double sized Mylar sheet safety pinned to it down to 30F with extra clothing for years. I reinforced the Mylar sheet with clear packaging tape everywhere I pinned it, and put tape where I later cut a neck opening. Because I put a 22 or 24” inch zipper in the poncho liner to allow me to wear both the liner and Mylar sheet together or separately as a poncho. So it can be a tarp, rain or thermal layer, or sleep bag which weighs in at 26 or 28 oz. I also carry a tan foam zip mat to sit or lie on. But klymit makes a 16 oz inflate sleep mat that’s the size of a water bottle if you don’t want to spend a lot of money or tie something to the outside of your pack.. I enjoyed the video. Thanks
30 miles round trip is a good clip of space. Load out reasonable, just maybe more clothing socks, hat, for nighttime ao's
Great video, much appreciated.
Looking to put something like this together myself. I live well out in the country and in Alaska where earthquakes and volcanoes can impact travel. Looking to build something similar that allows me to get from my house to my wife and son in town if need be and get them home securely.
If I am in town I can make my way to the house without many needs but if I’m gonna leave my home and enter the jungle, I want to be ready. Keep up the good work brother. Malon Labe
Good shit. I have the same bottle and cup setup but on an outside of the bag in conjunction with a life straw.
Mystery ranch makes amazing stuff.
"Don't f**kin say it..." i was gonna say something when you did that 😆
Honestly, the RimWorld music brings this video together beautifully lol
rimworld music is a state of mind.
@@BrassFacts 100% agree. Great video with a realistic load out btw. Keep up the good work.
a usgi 2 qt with cover fits in each of those side pockets and you can tie the covers down to the closest molle loops.
“I am crippled, i am left handed..”
..and I took that personal
It seems like my Scout Rifle might be appropriate for this. It’s lighter than an AR, it’s .308, and I can carry a few detachable box magazines for it just the same as an AR. That coupled with a pair of binos and a radio and I’m almost there.
I like mystery ranch but I hate those weird zip bags. If that main zipper down the middle failed you'd be screwed. You'd have to use 550 cord or zip ties to sew it up using the molle.
to be fair if any zipper broke on a pack it would be incredibly inconvenient.
If you were going to get another rifle, would you get the daniel defense? I'm looking at LWRC a5 too, not sure if piston system is optimal or not...
TP should take on a more priority access location in the bag, I think.
No shit
11:06 This was absolutely hilarious simply because it is true. That is why i looked up the trizip... and then bought one. Thanks nikita.
NIKITAYOUFUCK
Are you still running a pistol in a grey man/ urban scenario? I agree with your pistol reasoning in the mountains but I’d still carry.
New subscriber!
in urban grey man? absolutely.
Fix to prevent the bulge in your back is to get a plastic garbage can that fits and trim it down. I did this for my ALICE pack years ago.
Although, not sure that would work with that bag.
oh, you know LTC Nutnfancy's size and weight constraint, too. that's nice.
Utah gang, lol. I thought those mountains looked familiar.
Got the like for the content. Got the comment for the dog. Good doggo!
Nice front sight my guy 🤌
i like seeing the puppers in the video
Good bois never ruin the take BF. Never apologize for the good bois
4:40 thanks for the "nutin" warning, I might've thrown my phone if I werent prepared for that. Bluh.
I might still throw my SW MP22 compact with like 50 rounds of .22lr in the pack. its pretty light, and could be nice to have.
What spray paint works good on rifles? I painted a BB gun once and I like it. I want to do my real gun now.
"Its in the bottom and is hard to get out -- toilet paper"...i see you like to live dangerously
I live the del taco life. Cheap tasty food.
... and punishment to match
Damn man I lived in Provo for years such a beautiful area
I see dog I up vote..👍👍👍 only here for the dog. The guns and gear is kool too😎
So you plan on going through a situation bad enough that you’re carrying a rifle and kit with 3 magazines and no shelter? No fixed blade knife, shovel, or axe?
different kit. I have a ruck setup that is built around sustainment. Which has all of the above. This is more to get somewhere, and then back in less than 48 (or even 24hr).
@@BrassFacts Forget 48 hours, it takes 30 minutes to die from hypothermia which you can suffer even when the temperature is just below 50 degrees, if you get wet.
I think a pistol is less a backup and more another tool for a possible situation. Realistically it's more efficient capability wise to just bring more ammo instead of a handgun unless you'd be in a situation where having a long gun isn't ideal.
I actually enjoy your dog in the videos. Keep him in.
your dog 🐕 is awesome 😎
I'm also a fan of trash bags but in my opinion I'd go with a bigger stronger, better bag that's is not bright white. Like a heavy duty contractor drum bag.
I'm interested in the helmet setup. How did you mate the Howard Leight hearing protection with the helmet?
there are arc rails + howard leigh kits (on amazon). It's a one way thing though. No going back to standard.
The rimworld music gets me
very cool! Do you plan on making a video on your rucksack setup?
perhaps one day. It's basically just my camping setup, that will have parts swapped out for the mission.
came for the kit, stayed for the puppers!
The dog makes a good point though. Any good *sigh* recce setup should include a loyal doggie.
I'm not crye or die, but you gotta ditch those knee pads for the G3 pants with the built in kneepads. Game changer imo
Yes !!! Doggo !,,❤❤❤
Maybe I'm blind but why do you have a rear iron sight on your rifle but not a front iron sight
it it use to have a front, but it came off when I was doing nv stuff. I haven't put it back on because I don't want to take the acog off to rezero. So for now it just sits there all alone, waiting to be paired up again.
Snugpak special forces bivy is nice and small, light. Although way more expensive than a trashbag.
Have you tried the Snugpak SF bivy, the 2GoSystems bivys or the high end SOL bivy? They are all extremely light and with the exception of the Snugpak I can honestly say that they don't condense very bad at all, at least in my AO.
I have the Snugpak SF bivy. I like their gear
Doggo knows you need it as part of your loadout 😆
the most important part.
What, NO PISTOL?! Lol. Lots of tactical Timmys heads just exploded. Personally, I 100% agree. ~Maybe~ a small .22 pistol in the pack. Maybe.
I wonder if it was a bad batch? I have never herd of this before.
Interesting if there would be any update to this video after 2 years
Great video! Keep them coming
Man I got some of those ration bricks, apple cinnamon. I opened one and tried it just to test it out ya know, they actually aren’t that bad considering what they are for. I know they aren’t supposed to taste like a 5 star meal or anything considering their purpose, but definitely require some water to drink with lol
yeah I've eaten a couple when I was shooting, had hardcore munchies. I dig em. Almost candy like
As a fellow lefty, dont worry. We will rule the world one of these days.
Also, what drone are you using?
some gen of DJI spark. I dunno i traded a 870 for it
In here before wok
Wok has been slacking lately smh
Ah the rimworld music i see you are a neighbor of culture hope to see you in the wasteland
I hope I get random randy when the boog hits.
Sweet set up
Any particular brand of knee pads you would recommend? Thanks!
you tell me, I'm shopping for some haha.
Oh we ready.
Socks, gortex bevy , grayl water bottle , puffy jacket.
Dog looks very interested in the review
Take that RMR off & send it to me for my Birthday.
It needs to live on my 19x.
Petition to add doggo to every video
I am also in SLC. Just moved here from Houston. Where do you train at?
Out west. On the way to wendover
The dog got you a like before the video got into the meat and potatoes
what do you mean, she *is* the meat and potatoes. The gun stuff is just a side show
@@BrassFacts haha fair enough. This is the first of your videos I've seen. I will check out more.
Nutnfancy is the OG.
1) Titanium canteens weighs less than a plastic bottle, you can use them to boil water and they can take a metric 🤬 ton of abuse before they break.
2) Good quality merino wool is lighter than cotton and nylon, keeps you cool when it’s hot, keeps you warm when it’s cold, naturally anti microbial and flame retardant.
3) he’s absolutely right in that foods are just more 🤬 to carry, get some high calorie snacks you can eat while on the move…for examples of different types, just look at what through hikers and ultra marathon participants bring.
4) get in shape now, working on your physical fitness while you’re running from a zombie horde will not end well for you.
