Its amazing how everyone has different experiences with magazines. Pmag are extremely tough and magpul has a zero hassle replacement warranty. My training experience has been %100 with pmags. If one cracks send it back. I have metal magazines which are also fantastic. Welds break and feed lips do eventually get razor thin. Magazines will never last forever. I've had magazines loaded for years and zero issues. Training magazines and go time magazines should be separated. Similar between cat and recon tourniquets. A cat is $30. 2 recon is $30. I saw a test between both by hanging weights with both. The recon held more weight than the cat. Both are fantastic.
I'm a old man now, also former law enforcement, Emt, mt. rescue. Stow the butane lighter in a area less likely to damage you if it gets shot or is hit by spall/ hot flack you don't want that lighter exploding that close to your face. A magnesium/ fero fire starter would be ideal, with no risk of exploding. Gear gets heavy the longer the day goes on, so make sure those shoulder straps are well padded. Your Sapi plates should be steel, if replacement if resupply is a issue.
I have an admin pouch on the side of my plate carrier that I put my bic lighter and note pad and pen in that way the top pocket is pretty much empty when my gloves are on
Not exactly sure what law enforcement, EMT, or mountain rescue has to do with this, but have you ever had a butane lighter explode in the scenario you present? Millions of soldiers (smokers) carried butane lighters into combat (Korea, Vietnam, etc) without one recorded incident I'm aware of.
@@robinstewart6510 if you can’t understand what experience LE, EMTs, or SAR have with carrying equipment optimally in dynamic situations, you must be pretty new to all this…in which case I say welcome!
The only thing I would say is upgrade to a waterproof more rugged mic for your radio because those beofeng mics don't hold up and you will find it failing on you when you really need it.
Interesting take on the magpuls. I myself have not run into this issue and can't recall any of the LE or military I've worked with ever mention it. No criticism meant, its something I will look out for in the future.
Is what I was really trying to say is I was just having trouble with the feed lips on the magpul mags being loose from use over time spreading farther apart and I keep mine loaded all the time
@@WinterWarriors think of a situation you are in your PJs and bunny slippers you here a crash and someone come inside. you ain't putting on your carrier. You grab your rifle/shotgun and coming round the corner you exchange rounds take one in the leg for the team your home alone squirting like a sprinkler in the living room and your tourniquet is upstairs in a pocket on your plate carrier.
@@WinterWarriors I'm not knocking you at all just some advice that made sense to me. Israeli bandages are pretty good things to have in your pockets if you are the groups medic. They don't weigh anything and are a good quick fix.
I under stand that I EDC a gen 7 most of the time and if I belive somewhere I have to go to Is a high risk location or situatio I will avoid it at all costs unless I have no choice.
@@WinterWarriors let me give you some good info, 1st seek some professional medical training, you can probably find and enroll in a National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians course. 2nd don't ever try to treat anyone with any procedure that you haven't been professional trained in doing, having someone talk to you about doing IV's for incidence, you can only get your self in over your head real quick and possible seriously hurt someone or even kill them, never try a NCD that's a very advanced skill that will cause serious injuries if not done properly. I don't know if you have had any training or not but you can check with local fire department and they frequently teach CPR and Basic First Aid courses. Try to get your whole group trained in CPR and first aid before you go any further. If you have questions please feel free to ask me
Thank you I am waiting for an opening for the coarse that dark angels medical provides. You are absolutely right about the rest of the group taking training as well I see that as one of my top priority's.
If you have a pause in the fighting, that, not in the middle of a fight, is the time to drop a magazine and reload with a full one. That means dropping an partially loaded magazine occasionally, which you can come back and recover later (even in the middle of a fight if you're desperate enough to now need that ammo).
Good vid all these people criticize but more then half of them don't have the gear or don't know how to ues it. Most people talking shit wouldn't know how to save a life or shoot a gun.
Should think to lean more towards moving in silence. With one click of a mouse every hadji extremist knows what you run and how you run. Always move in silence. Solid gear tho.
I'm curious as to how extensive your medical background is being a "team medic" just because you're the bandaid holder, doesnt mean much. if you cant readily remember what gear you have in your kit as you casually record yourself, kinda makes me question whether or not you'd be able to treat a sucking chest wound under stress. i could be wrong....
With everything you just said the only thing I can agree with is the fact that I may not be able to deal with a sucking chest wound under stress I havent been taking fire while dealing with that but if you have pleas give me your input
@@WinterWarriors well first, if you have ANY medical training, thats a start. videos on youtube, and a BFG Trauma Now does not make one a MEDIC. and yes i have treated people with penetrating traumas....GSWs, Stabbings. also Crush Injuries, extrications, ODs... i've seen some shit lol
And my training goes as far as you can go by being self taught and trained by family members that are paramedics and just for you and the rest of the followers the following wounds I am comfortable treating in a combat situation NCD for a (tension pneumothorax) , sucking chest would, securing air way with a NPA, applying a TQ properly, securing fluids via IV, packing wounds. securing a broken bone, lacerations. And my bag is setup to only do what I know how to do.
How are you gonna get your med out with that stuff on either side? Duramags. Don't know which light you have. No belt. Even Mechanix gloves are better. IR patch. Tourniquets in hard to deploy pouches. Can't get to the multitool. Plates? That's a lot of ammo for the "medic" You can do better. EDIT - I just realized you said the mag pouches are Trex. Come on man.
The med stuff is on the small of my back and is open to pull out on both sides. The light is a supper cheap light but I carry a stream light on my EDC which will most likely be part of my kit. Mechanic gloves We're out to fast that's why I dont use them.
And just cause I am the medic dosent mean I dont need ammo a group of 4 guys will not work if everyone has just one specialty and you will see how all my kit meches together when I do some of the shooting videos
Curve of the body or not I still suggest keeping either side of the IFAK clear. Put the tourniquet under it and move the light. You have enough room on the front of the belt for the light.
While someone may have a different idea, and it's good to get input on your gear and constantly progress you gear set, doing what works for you will be the thing that benefits you in a firefight. The only thing that will dictate that is training with your gear constantly and seeing what works and what doesn't. NEVER BECOME COMPLACENT IN YOUR ABILITIES. Someone else can definitely outrun, outgun, and outclass you, no matter the situation. Train hard, fight hard, and play hard.
" Can't always point guns at people to identify them". Grand Master Jay has left the chat.
LMFAO exactly what I thought.
And entered prison it seems like lol

Trigger mittens sized up for winter ,slip the gloves in and out of them bad boys
that's what I tried to do but my hands got bigger
You do you but, I would recommend getting an actual gun belt that is stiff enough to help support the load.
💯

@@robinstewart6510 Red hot metal and plastic butane lighters have been recorded exploding from all over.

Ive not seen welding spatter explode a lighter yet but its possible and Ive seen a lighter explode
Its sound advice
Back to reddit kid
Some good high quality gear man! I dig it!
Thanks brother love seeing what people think is there any videos you would like to see
The only thing I would say is upgrade to a waterproof more rugged mic for your radio because those beofeng mics don't hold up and you will find it failing on you when you really need it.
Ya mine actually did break if you check out my comms series I replaced it with a much better one
@@WinterWarriors Good to hear you got a better one, I will go look at your other vid on comms.
Interesting take on the magpuls. I myself have not run into this issue and can't recall any of the LE or military I've worked with ever mention it. No criticism meant, its something I will look out for in the future.
Is what I was really trying to say is I was just having trouble with the feed lips on the magpul mags being loose from use over time spreading farther apart and I keep mine loaded all the time
@@WinterWarriors did you use the mag covers? Cool accessory. They use to come with the mags now have to be bought separately, which is a bummer.
Greay vid bro!
Try Lancer mags. I found them to be the best of both worlds. Just my two cents
Man i need more medical training. Nice setup
Nice setup. I’d definitely upgrade the belt to something a bit sturdier
I have upgraded the belt to a raptor tactical
@@WinterWarriors nice. I definitely wasn’t knocking or hating. Just giving my suggestions
Ya I have an update video on the channel and thank you for the suggestions I also want those we have lots to learn
@@WinterWarriors nice I’ll check it out. Yup, we can all learn something from each other
This shit is fire
Hey in that top admin pocket I would store my shooting gloves and some extra latex or medical gloves in. I would not store my lighter there
Good video bro.
Sweet👍
Band your tourniquet on your rifle stock. That's when you are gonna need it in a gun fight you will have it
I keep one on my belt and one on my plate carrier so I have two easy access but I would like 2 more on my person.

@@WinterWarriors my Ninja. Now that's the best advice ever.
Gat an over sized miten and ti it to the wrist so you don't lose it
What is your level of medical training? Does everyone of your members carry their own IFAC? Stay safe
No not every body that is the next thing everybody needs on top of there firearms

You spelled civil wrong in the thumbnail
What's "civial war"?
You ever go to the ghetto hood and open carry?
Do you?
well, why are you dropping mags that are still loaded?
If you have a pause in the fighting, that, not in the middle of a fight, is the time to drop a magazine and reload with a full one. That means dropping an partially loaded magazine occasionally, which you can come back and recover later (even in the middle of a fight if you're desperate enough to now need that ammo).
Nice kit! Rifle?
Just did a rifle video on the channel go check it out
Will do, thanks!
nice

No helmet?
Helmet lol
Yes
Safety glasses too nerd
Ever had a stick in the eye at night?
Set up is nice but you really need to invest in a better belt hold your gear
what the fuck is a civial war
Good gear bro. 🤙🏼🇺🇸🛡🔔
Invest in training.
How are you gonna get your med out with that stuff on either side?
Duramags.
Don't know which light you have.
No belt.

That's a lot of ammo for the "medic"
You can do better.

How much ammo is a medic supposed to have?
