I learned the lesson about glasses during basic. Tripped in a pot hole in the rain, glasses came off, the guy in front of me Sasquatch footed them into the asphalt. Ever since I carry 3 back ups. My spree of bad luck has happened a few times during FTX. Thankfully optometry likes me and still orders them lol
They made us wear elastic straps on our birth control glasses when I did basic in 04.
Literally only brought 1 pair to Iraq in 08, felt so stupid, I didn't mean to I actually forgot my boot camp BCG's, which we're gonna be my backups. By the end of the deployment, the frames were completely broken in multiple places (my friend helped me strip some wires we found and put them back together with copper every time they broke, by the time I got back my frames were practically copper wire frames) the lenses, well they were so scratched to sht they looked fogged. When I got back, I put in for eye surgery... My eyesight was 20/150 in both eyes and I got approved for PRK because my stigmatism was so bad, so I couldn't get Lasik (I actually don't recommend Lasik at all though, that flap can become a huge problem if it ever separates). At one point after surgery I was 20/15 in one eye and 20/20 in the other, these days my eyesight has faded at 34 yo.. I'm like 2/40-50 in both eyes depending on the day, and my night sight isn't so good... I definitely recommend surgery if you can get approved for it. And tbh since he's still in, he should definitely put in to have corrective, do it on the governments dime.
Always learning something from your videos. I’ve always carried spare socks, but never thought about spare inserts to also keep dry. Just thought people did it for more cushion, but now it makes sense, Thanks!!
You and Brass Facts are my Friday plans these days (hashtag nomeetingsfridays)
Bro............ This Content is LIT AF. Thank you from me and all those who are thankful but don't comment.
"Stay Strong, Chase Excellence Brothers."
IMHO - Kuhl Radikl Pants great for non-cold environment with full movement. - I spotted the Sawyer permethrin bottles underneath your work bench, necessary in insect infested territory.
Good load-out PA!
1) Anyone who wears glasses needs to have a croakies strap to secure the glasses.
2) Tru-Spec 24-7 Expedition pants are great, I wear all black for E.D.C. and Ranger Green when in the woods.
Hey PA, good to see you settled on a solution to the "how to carry a helmet for NV" dilemma without being married to a larger tactical pack with a beavertail. Enjoying the content.
Freaking great content and loadout list. Really helpful when you put the list in your Amazon list like you did! Well done
My water setup is based off of your recommendations. I am very curious to get a new water system video by you after this course. Great video brother!
That video is in the works! Stay subscribed!
For individual, I run a Grayl water purifier as my main, the Sawyer mini is my backup, other than that, my water kit is fairly similar
Liddally
Best 3 weeks of my life was at DARC!!
3 weeks? I thought it was only 4 days
Great content with useful, real-life ideas!
Definitely echo the whole "goretex boot is great until it isn't", as out of fashion as they are, using hot weather AR670-1 or similar combat boots is pretty great for swamp/bog. Especially gathering water in the night under NODs at DARC, the ground is deceptively "hard"
Great vid and information. Military guys always explain things the best. For water I just use a grayl, 3L bladder and a 1l metal canteen and cup. Although just for hiking and bushcraft. Never for tactical reasons. I saw your comment below about a water vid in the works, im looking forward to that! thanks!!
i got so excited when you mentioned the bug net...so over looked
18:25 omg and the headnet. im rolling right now lol
This video cost me money! Too many great gear ideas!
Really appreciate your vids.... Lots of good information as well as good presentation... Thank You
I listened to the whole video, I got some information out of it. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time! This is actually my longest video to date lol
This was very helpful. A few things i picked up from this and other vids that i needed to address is bug repellant, socks (feet management) and hydration powder.
Thank you so much for this video, after the Spiritus Systems TUSC video; this is the best resource out there for a pack out.
That spiritus video isn’t even public anymore
@@Lebstankaany idea why they made it private?
It wasn't exactly accurate anymore. Things change, and they know that. so instead of putting out dated info out, they just took it down.
Great overview!
Great content and information.
this is valid to have a long form vidoe
Good video brother
Thank you for the info and much of it corroborated with my experience. If you have not had a chance to test out DG HILL Wool socks, they are complete game changers in my opinion; highly recommend. They work well not just for feet but as insole liners in boots and also armpit absorption with makeshift shock cord harness, that is if you sweat. Take care man!
If you're a glasses wearer, get a strap for stuff like this. Even cheaper insurance for your eyesight, weighs fuck all, and is perfect for adding a little extra redundancy to your redundancy
Good call on the pedialite powder. When you were talking about the heat, I was curious if you’d bring anything like that. I use pedialite powder all the time during workouts and training sessions and it simply works!
Always well done! I thought your water setup was genius! I can't imagine how the school improve upon it! You said anyone can go to the class. Could your wife pass it? I always took my mosquito head net to the field! I also, always carried my field jacket liner for that little bit of extra warmth in the morning/evening and it makes an amazing field pillow! It seems like gear evolves to cover every situation. You end up carrying something you needed once when you didn't have it then end up carrying it and rarely use it. A ton of gear falls into this category...
I would definitely recommend it. And yes, my wife would be able to make it through. Although my wife is a Combat Veteran, that may be a little biased.
I would say a good prerequisite class for folks that are brand new to this stuff is any carbine class.
Man I love your content and your constant blending of ultralight backpacking community with the tacticool. I started out doing backpacking then got really into the 🔫🔫. Got any suggestions for carrying something like a pcc or sbr type gun behind your back like in a backpack rifle scabbard? My idea is that if I want to be more discreet and have a rifle on me without it being seen I can keep it stowed until I need it, kinda more low key and under the radar that way I feel like if people see me.
Thank you! i appreciate it! Here is my solution to that issue. It also came in handy at TUSC.

Very nice vid
How cool man, like and follow, greatings from Germany DeinStamm
Cool
I don't carry a pillow for camping I either use my shemagh or hydration bladder that is it's own insulated bag
horizontal water carry. . 💦
nice.
For sleeping I've just slept with mosquitoe head net or a shemage(sp?) and saved the weight & time.
Did you stuff your day bag in the ruck? Love the channel brother
I placed it on the outside and attached it to the top at the grab handle.
Would neoprene dive socks be beneficial for the swamp crossings?
Can you suggest one of your videos where you go over the "fix it kit" in detail?
I actually don't have a detailed video discussing the newer set up. I'll have a video in the future!
@@PreparedAirman, thanks. Could you maybe reply to this comment and list what you have in your fix it kit?
Try out the D3O P12 kneepads
I'll take a look!
Thinking of your boots and the whole Gore-Tex discussion...what was the deepest water you ran into? Just wondering if higher boots or even gaiters would have been beneficial?
I was in water above my knees but not all teams had to do that. Gaiters were popular and did work very well for the morning dew and rain.
Crocks are mandatory in all my kits now lol
@@PreparedAirman Don't you mean LITERALLY in water??
Awsom video . Didnt see any edged items?
Spyderco Paramilitary 3 and a Leatherman Free p2 were the knives carried.
When you're put on 1.25 speed, you sound exactly like ben shapiro
You didn't bring your golf clubs? Im so confused 😂
what about the field poops?
finally, some people realising ultralight can be durable and save heaps of weight. People FLOG those hyperlight packs every day for months on end, they last.
QUESTION, what about a fire starting kit or fire steel,lighter ect. and a knife ?
I had a couple of lighters, a Leatherman and a Spyderco Paramilitary 3.
Did you ever have to worry about the Kevlar laces on the Solomon boots? They make me nervous that an in field repair would be a pain in the ass and take a long time
If I did have an issue I would just tie a knot in it or replace it on the fly with paracord
That skrim by beez combat is super loud i ordered it, received it and got rid of the the same day. Its better to have something super quiet then something waterproof that gives your position 5 miles away even if the wind blows at it.
Yeah.. no kidding, it's loud when it's new... that's why you're supposed to throw it in the dryer, drag it the dirt, and actually use it to wear it in.
Anything new is that way, shoes, pants, sleeping bags and backpacks. it's the same with any camouflage item. The more you use it, the better it gets.
@@PreparedAirman I get that to a point. But the product you take to a battle should be ready to go from the reputable manufacturer. I should not be wearing something for 2 months, dragging in through the dirt for miles and washing 50 times for it to work as intended. When you buy quality shoes they don't squeak for days or weeks do they? They might be stiff and uncomfortable for few days or a week but they dont sing, unless you have been buying shoes from a Chinese fee market. I dono what kind of pants you buy that that make noise even when you first put them on. I never had a pant i need to break in lol. That like you buying an optic but you need to shoot 5000 rounds before the red dot can turn on and start functioning. This product by beez combat makes zero sense. In fact should be illegal or filed a lawsuit against this product if this is whats advertised or contracted to the military. That fucking thing is worse then a 100 gallon bag full of dry leafs and you're signaling a space ship with how much noise its producing.
Hi man, great video, excellent information, great idea to focus on the weight of the equipment even if it is mission or military style exercises. We know in general that ultralighters carry little weight or essential equipment because this helps to cover many kilometres, my question is: how many kilometers can you cover per day during a patrol exercise?
It honestly depends. Patroling is different than walking, and rucking is then hiking. Terrain and water availability would be a big factor. Along with your physical fitness abilities.
Probably between 10 and 30 miles is an average number for me.
@@PreparedAirman thanks for the answer, in Italy we have a specialized group called "Alpini" they equip themselves with a backpack that weighs empty between 3 and 4 kilos, including all the equipment, it reaches 30 sometimes even 40 kilos, I hardly believe that can travel long distances with this load, even if military training is very different from civilian training. I personally tried a 130 km long mountain route with a 20 kilo backpack and failed, so the topic is of great interest to me. thanks
What source you use for your ghilli net
I use the Beez combat systems ghillies. They have worked out very well for me.
Is that the Helicon Tex surplus poncho or is it a USGI amazon one?
The one shown is a Helicon-tex one but also have a USGI one. They are both sufficient.
@@PreparedAirman thanks dude , I’m 6’2 so I think the USGI one will suit me a bit better . Love the vids bro! 🇨🇦 🍺
Heavy packs for heavy loads more comfort
Did u keep the swagman roll in ur assault pack also. Or better question what all did u bring in ur assault pack that stayed the same. Obviously some shit changes based on mission. But what part of.ur sleep system specifically would u bring in ur assault pack. I carry both and I always question what all I should bring lol. I've brought ammo knee pads cleaning kit with a cleaning rod ifak with foot care and bug spray poncho eye pro, binos, and extra socks. But sometimes I'm like should I bring a poncho and a woobie, should I bring a stove with a pot, should I bring gortex also or just a poncho. Should u bring the binos and knee pads or is it a waste of room. It's hard being a civie and having room to make ur own decisions. I like O.P.s bc I don't have to think someone already has done it for me
O yeah! video will be out soon on this exact topic!
Thinking isn't that hard to do, it makes life easier instead of being told what to do like a child. That's what's wrong with our former and active duty vets, they lack the ability to think outside of their servitude and then we get a nation like we have today.
@nck4888 kinda random. maybe in some cases, but for most combat oriented troops I would have to disagree. They are the ones that think outside the box regularly to accomplish the mission.
@@PreparedAirmanI don't disagree but you have to agree they are still within particular parameters , a guerilla has more leeway than an army.
Yeah, SOPs, LOAC,and Geneva conventions are good in some ways and hinder us in others.
What bridge/setup did you use for your dual pvs-14's??? Ive been torn between getting a second 14 or bino's. $10k for bino's is a tough pill...
I use the Noisefighter panobridge Mk2. They have since come out with an Mk4 with some upgrades. Since I do a lot of filming, I like being able to split the two 14s if necessary. It works out for me, although some days I would like to have dedicated dual tubes.
@@PreparedAirman Thank you....
@@PreparedAirman Any issues with the panobridge holding settings? Just looking at it, it would seem if you were running etc. it would want to move out of adjustment. I looked at the TNVC bridge (not pano), and their bridge also clamps around the the front of the monocular behind the infinity ring. A lot heavier unit but, seems like it would be more sturdy...
Thoughts?
With the Panobridge Mk2+s you have the ability to decide how tight you one the tolerances to be. When my family and I are enjoying them like stargazing I will loosen them up to make the adjustments easier for me or my kids.
But when I running are doing force on focr training I tighten them up more.
I personally haven't had an issue, but I was aware of the downsides. The version I have is not made of metal so I was alway conscious of where and how I was treating them.
Understood...
형! 전쟁대비 생존배낭을 찿고있는데 군용 나일론이냐 형이 쓰는 배낭이냐 고민이야 내구성이 군용에 비해 떨어지거나 하지는 않아? 유리 파편이나 돌에 찢어지는게 아닌지 걱정이야 그리고 한국은 북한이랑 대치중이라 생화학 공격에도 노출되어 있어 생화학 가스로부터 내 가방을 어떻게 보호해야할지 알려줘 가방 겉이 오염되거나 가방 내부의 식량과 침낭이 오염될까봐 걱정이야 형은 어떻게 생각해? 형에 도움이 절실히 필요해!
Can civilians join the course or it’s only for law enforcement and military?
It is open to everyone.
What organizer are you using in the Full Tang rig that allows you to organize pens, flashlight, and so on?
I've seen no knife.
Spyderco paramilitary 3 lightweight. Ot was apart of my EDC not shown.
Ultra 400 is superior to 1000D Cordura, ultra 800 extremely so. High end UL gear stomps tacticool gear.
Very noisy pack cover you cant hear during walking
Lasik eye surgery. Contact Lenses suck. It's well worth it.
Hyper lite gear is horrible. No support in a pack. Have you ever used a jump pack? It carries very well and the weight distraction is much easier on the body. These packs have no support for your body. So in the end you hurt further over the course of time. You should know this, according to your credentials
Heavy assumptions. As you brought up "according to my credentials," I understand that everyone has different needs and different body types.
As a professional, I'm not myopic enough to think that there is only one way to do things to include bashing other companies and forcing other people into thinking that my way is the only.
Clearly as your comment states you haven't reached the humble enlightenment of being a professional and understanding not everything is about you or how things work for YOU...
Pack cover sounds louder than dry leaves.
"Literally...Literally...Literally...Literally...Literally...Literally..."
....My god people have become such robots....Why does the US military talk like a bunch of little girls on Twitter?
Extra soles are a good idea though, i never even thought of that. There's always something.
Unfortunately, I have Dyslexia so I struggle with synonymous and verbal articulation. Some days are better than others. Therefore, some videos are better than others. But it is what it is.
