Levels Of Kit: The Fighting Load
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- The second video in a three part series, providing information in regards to the Orion Training Group Small Unit Sustainment and Small Unit Maneuver classes. In conjunction with other videos on this channel and the OTG channel; videos serve as a primer for folks taking the class, as well as general information to all.
This is the next level of kit, up from Items On The Body. The fighting load carries those items which take life and save life, anything else is superfluous to this level of kit and a common mistake is people forcing themselves to carry sustainment items and lots of "just in case" items.

This is fun to see all these comments. Seeing all of your respond greatly to the teachings. When I filmed this with Blake, I was eager to get to work producing this video. Please grab your friends pass this info on in your circles. We can all come together.
For the algorithm. Keep it coming!
Algorithm and the war effort
+1. This was a random video in the feed. Now it’s a subscription and I’m looking forward to binge watching to catch up.
Gotta say this channel has re inspired me to keep my kit close on our off grid homestead. Complacency is a killer.
Your perspective, based on your past, is VERY valuable to the civilian sector. So many in the civilian community build their kit based on past military experience, or the advice of others- and that worldview was "available resupply, available support"
That is a distinct and usually overlooked difference.
Thank you, sir.
6500 views on day 1 with only 7k subscribers tells you what you need to know about the content here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
This channel is underrated, thank you for putting these out, I hope you grow to make more money, but I also hope you continue to be small so the content never changes. Thanks again for what you do
I'm not a fan of doing reviews, and though it will be necessary I also hope to not become a gun review channel.
@@Blakewater0326just put out solid teaching videos. Most of what us civilians would be doing if we really needed our kit is basically what you did. We won’t have any resupply or support of any kind. Small unit tactics and kit considerations for small unit movements without support
Need more people like you making videos. Seems like most tubers are just selling their sponsors to us
That's part and parcel when you get sponsors. I currently have none, so it's not something I need to concern myself with, yet.
This series of videos is going to be so huge for your channel. We all can’t thank you enough for coming out with this kind of updated content
Thank you for talking about hydration. So many people don't even comment on hydration. As an ex infantryman myself, I know how important it is to have water on your person.
Keep doing the Lord’s work.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this Chanel. Great material
Solid info all around. I appreciate solid, and straight to the point information.
I have owned a few rigs personally (haley strategic, spiritus etc). But recently I turned in my old, FLC for a new TAPS. It does have flaws, but it serves its purpose and I believe for the price and customizability it cannot be beat. Venture Surplus has some solid videos on it.
Then I got introduced to a split rig. And man I fell in love. Easy on/off, nothing directly in the front of you and my personal split rig can be swapped between 556 and 308/6.5 mags. It holds loads so much better than the TAPS or any other system I've owned. My current setup has me with 2-3 quarts of water, 10-16 556 mags(8 easy access, 2 in a Spiritus SPUD, 2-4 in GP pouch), 2 frags, 2 TQ's, full IFAK (In a roll 1 dangler on my left side), radio and 2 large GP pouches that I'm still testing out for how I want them organized. VS my taps that hold 6-8 556 mags max of 2 quarts of water, 2 frags and 1 medium GP pouch and a radio while not supporting the weight very well. I used a custom made dangler mod for my ifak.
This is of course, my opinion and I have not used the TAPS or my split rig in any combat situation. Only FTX's so far.
I can’t remember the last time I was this stoked to watch a video. Thanks for putting this longer form content out there! Keep it coming 🤙🏻
Pretty stoked UA-cam recommended something useful. Awesome channel. Semper Fi brother
🦅🌎⚓🤘
This guy looks exactly what I would think a recon guy would look like. Straight out of a movie. Thanks for the great info the TAPS rig is coming back nowadays in a big way.
Well spoken and prepared.
Hi from Australia
Just found your channel and playlist. Saved. Thanks for sharing the info love it.
My mans knew the MARCH-PAWS. Staying up to date on his TCCC knowledge. Gotta get in on a class soon
Thanks so much for doing these videos, I've done pistol and carbine courses, low light, vehicle courses but feel like classes like this are probably the next step in my progression and even better, it gets me out in the woods
Just subscribed. I am not military in any way, but I do want to learn to better protect those I care about.
I appreciate this man, thank you for making your content available to us regular joes.
These videos are tremendously helpful. We be passing it on to others leaders within my unit. Lots of new guys with little experience and even those of us who’ve been around can learn much from your deep well of knowledge.
Subscribed for the beard stayed for the knowledge. Awesome content.
Thanks for taking the time to pass on Knowledge. I wish UA-cam & this channel was around when I was a young Mustang in The Corps. Semper Fi.
This series is such a great resource. Thank you for the instructions!
So glad to see your doing more on UA-cam! I love your stuff on IG but I’m happy to see the long form content with more in detail explanation! Keep up the good work brother!
I appreciate the way you engage the audience. I miss good leaders like that. Keep that shit up 💯❤️👍🏼💩
Enjoyed the video ! Always thinking about how to be ready
Good video, thanks. As the comms guy I have radios, drones, some batteries, antennas, etc. I'm usually rocking a Camelback 2-day pack w the padded waist strap because as you note, that stuff all needs some pouches and you don't want it to get crushed!
Keep em coming, these videos are like gold for the minutemen types.
The content on this channel is great, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great info 👍. My kit is similar to yours. BUT, I'm just a little smaller than you. Mags are located differently when you're built like an eighth grader.
Just subscribed- thanks for posting this content
Thank you
Subscribed! Well done sir.
Keep the great content coming, excellent job!
You’re videos are awesome your channel will make it big
I thought it was a joke at 1st because Blake was in my auto play n all the conments were about how they werent gay but Blake was making them gay. But then i actually watched the video. This will be in the top 10 guntuber channels within a year. Blake n Chrisky are the freshman all stars like The Source magazine.
Nice to see you post more.
Fkn invaluable amount of information as always, Fkn huge thanks.

I find myself re watching this over and over. I do believe the Force Recon got me
So I’m completely new to this channel. This is my first video and let me just say that was an awesome intro…
Good info brother
Just deleted my Instagram. These videos are perfect for the sniper section. Thank you
Thumbs up for the intro
Love your stuff
Great content
Your kit content is unmatched! For the aglo gods 🤘
1,000% begin training in open environments. Patrolling, movement to contact, actions left & right, peeling, etc.
THEN sign up for CQB type of classes.
Nice loadout
Thanks man good stuff
Nice loadout.
Looks like florida landscape. Training in florida, if it is, is quite unique and awesome in my opinion. First time watching your video, nice job! 💪🇺🇲
Bit further north, though the geology and flora does look strikingly similar from the Carolinas down to Florida.
Awesome, i try to train and learn as much as i can. Enjoying your videos very much. Thank you.
Like this content, thanks!
Excellent, thanks!
BZ!!! Keep em coming!!
Between ya'll and dirty civilian just damn.
If Talon Sei were a yoked operator. Hahaha!
Yo, no fucking shot you actually use Emby Blades! That guy was my old PltSgt when I hit the fleet! Man it's great to see his dream and company actually took off and he's doing well for himself.
Awesome content keep making more
Algorithmic stimulation 🎉
Top quality. Love it
Wanted to stay more low key so i got a hiking backpack instead of a tac backpack. With that said i can attest that the Osprey Archon 70 works perfectly with a Thing 2.
Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!!!
Team you are greatly appreciated sir.
Thank you 🙏
That Tiger stripe tho 🤌
Just found your channel definitely hit the sub button
Nice Video! Thanks for the Infos.

💯
Good stuff.
Sooo much to learn here - thank you
Great info, makes sense. K.I.S.S. Thank you. 🤙🏼🇺🇸
I just wanted to mention something I don't see a lot of tactical guys talk about when mentioning fighting knives/tactical knives. I've noticed many don't have a crossguard or carry one with a crossguard. But if you genuinely plan on using it in combat, I would highly suggest getting one with a crossguard. From police reports/officers I've spoke with, to historical accounts (i.e. the invention of the Bowie knife story), and of course just looking at modern testing videos from a myriad of sources (there's plenty on youtube, and otherwise) - all suggest a crossguard to be necessary on a fighting knife. The reason a crossguard is necessary is to mitigate a percentage of the risk the user takes when thrusting the blade. The chances of that blade catching or sticking on something hard (bone, cartlidge, whatever) are high, and the chance the force you applied to that thrust continuing after the blade has stopped (leading to your hand moving from the handle, onto the blade) are even higher. Having a crossguard in place mitigates these chances (though the chance is still not zero) significantly when talking melee use. Again - look at police reports the party doing the stabbing often ends up cutting their own hand and dropping the knife; the development of the Bowie knife and why it has a cross guard; or any of the testing videos online relating to crossguard vs non crossguarded blades during thrust test. Thanks.
There is much to blade design in mitigating the risk of cutting yourself, yes. And a guard on the knife certainly helps, though it isn't the only factor, and training cannot be understated either. There are also plenty of examples of people stabbing someone with a simple kitchen knife without cutting themselves as a counter point. You aren't mistaken, I'm just looking at both sides of the argument.
@@Blakewater0326 Thank you for taking time to comment, and respond in depth. It is appreciated. It outlines your perspective on the subject more clearly and I can understand your point of view a bit better.
And a couple things I could add to the non cross guard perspective is: there are numerous incidents where self injury occured even with a crossguard present. AND if you plan on using the knife as a tool frequently/for utility a crossguard can just get in the way or impede the knifes ability to do its job.
Ironically enough the Tall Tale relating to the Bowie knife is Jim's brother got into a brawl (Ive also heard it as "he was skinning a rabbit and his fingers slipped!) with a kitchen or butchers blade and Rezin Bowie said it'd have been perfect had it been made with a crossguard. Now the validity and how true that story is, should likely be taken with several grains of salt.
But still. Thank you for taking time to reply and share your thoughts. It is warmly reciprocated.
🤘

Yo, you should be given the nickname Santa.
@Blakewater, REALLY GOOD CONTENT! 👍🏼🔥👍🏼🔥👍🏼🔥
I am curious where you get your gloves? I had a pair of those same gloves, but they wore out and I cannot find them anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PIG gloves are carried by a lot of vendors online. Just internet search and you'll get many results, though SKD Tactical is the seemingly "official" home for PIG equipment.
@@Blakewater0326, Thank you, sir!
Thanks brother, good vid! It's good to get perspectives from people who have different experiences. Where did you get that Tigar Stripe Boonie hat? IT looks like a nice one, and I need to replace mine.
Well done, thanks.
Feeding the algorithm God.
Then this guy shows up outta nowhere and starts posting some good fucking food
Never thought I'd see my exact twin . Theres many Redbeards out there , but dang its like im looking at a mirror ! Haha
You have 4 type of camo is that to blend better with environment or just because you like it
❤
Once agin thanks for the time and effort, great information. May I make a suggestion for load out series, patriot kits with little to no support. Low cost kits from thrift stores, yard sales, donation gear, etc.
Many of us know we will be getting into it with China soon!!!! and want to get ready as best we can to protect our families and communities. This information would be helpful.
"Buy once, cry once" is my motto. It is worth spending the money on good equipment and gaining it gradually. I will do a video or series of videos to cover what I believe is the best progression from zero to "tacti-Chad".
Dont be so brainwashed
Who makes the Chest Rig you showcased? What model is it?
