I remember when I had to do night ops in the Army. It was hard at first to adjust depth perception wearing nods; over time, it got easier. Sometimes it was scary going on patrol not knowing what you’re going to run in to. But sometimes I miss that stuff.
@@TuxPenguino So every time you can't see something you're going to pop a flare ? Or carry a $90 parachute flare which you would need multiples of Also white lights are not meant to be left on all the time so theres no need for large heatsinks Your gamer youtube logic is flawed
@@TuxPenguinoyou’re gonna d!3 if you do what you just said kid. Flares are meant for signal plan, casevac/medevac or illuminating the enemies position during a fight. You obviously have a gamer mentality. Good luck with that mindset
Only thing I would add would be to confirm your lazer is aligned with your optic. Can do daytime with visible settings or night time with passive setup and IR. Find a reference point at 25, 50, or 100, whatever your optic is zeroed at. Everything else was great.
As always, awesome content. This and the Rifle Optics video knocked it out of the park. In the same vain as the hasty section here, maybe a video on QRF Considerations & Preparations as that is more relevant to me both on and off duty.
Awesome video. Thank you for continuing to educate and equip. It’s refreshing to see you not making 50 ballistic gel videos. Also side note, I’m glad to see Adam not wearing a hat. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s hard losing hair. I respect it and if/when I start receding I hope to have the courage to do the same.
Very well done on the PCI’s! Something most folks never hear about. After 34 yrs of wearing nods, the cap trick is worth its weight in gold, just one nobody really thinks of. Good job, nice kit!
Solid information as always Adam. I like the "Hasty" method. After action checking cleaning re-packing and staging for the next evolution. Works best for us illiterates! Nate
When I was in the Army, I wasn't a cool guy so not much experience with night vision. But one of the coolest things I did was driver's training at night with nods. Off roading in the woods at Ft. Polk at night with nods was cool and fun ASF.
Tie downs are definitely underrated on the civi side. I've seen many of PEQ15s get loose and start to fall off of rifles due to vibrations while shooting and even just movements in more challenging terrain
For checking your sidearm to see if it picked up the round you can feel the magazine tension. Press the top round before you load a round and after, there’s a pretty noticeable difference. Or just press check like you demonstrated.
Waiting for the larpers to start hating on the knowledge transfer going on in this video they simply will never comprehend. Call me a simp but Adam is by far one of the best at giving you clear and concise information that is useful and boosts your intelligence.
Good stuff.... gotta take the pre inspection sequence serious... that's why the Jumpmaster JMPI & dive has a sequence, process you gotta do to eliminate failure... PCI...Pre combat inspection
@@adamholroyd8862 I think a lot of guys justify it because they say "Oh if I drop my pack I can just come back to the rally point and get them." Because nobody's ever been away from their pack for an extended period of time, apparently.
Practical useful information instead of another gear dump. THANK YOU!!!!! I would definitely like to see a part 2 of this if there's anything else you'd like to add
Love it. Only problem with the “hasty” method is parasitic battery drain. Newer NVG (NODs) with digital buttons, LAMs (lasers) left in the wrong switch position or in general just drain - etc. For this reason, I run a battery pack. I have a visual indicator that the battery is “removed” so the NVG is safe for storage but also a physical break in the power connection eliminating any draw and I know that if fresh batteries were put in there last then they’re good to go.
No gear noice check? Maybe you consider this a normal SOP but if not you need to do one for night ops. Put on all your equipment Walk a few steps and jump around a bit Check if any part of your gear makes any noise Isolate and fix noise offenders
Converging zero > Parallel zero for lasers. Zero it to your optic out to 1000 yds and you are gtg. Then during your PCCs you can easily check your zero vs your optic.
We never leave night vision on the objective. We leave everything in bulk at the airfield so the enemy doesnt have to search for it. Its right next to the weapons and aircraft that we also left for them!😂😅
Low viz kit or kit revolving around civil unrest and other considerations? Like what kit is kept in vehicles, truck gun +kit, preplanning, changes of clothes?
@spiritussystems is there any IFF system comparable to a strobe or IR patches but for thermal ID? A lot of drones have thermal capabilities now but do we have anyway to identify ourselves to them?
Any thoughts on a low tech (no NVG, or laser) night combat video. Like WWII, Korea, Vietnam (I know they had some night vision later on but it wasn't common place).
Perhaps a dumb question but who makes those flip over lens covers? Seems to be a fairly small world for certain nods and I’m always looking to improve over simple rubber covers. Thanks in advance.
It WAS One Hundred Concepts, but I think they pulled the product because enough people dogged them for being $150 retail. But I think they’re great and would probably pay that to have the hard shut off aperture. Keeps the sun from burning your tubes when day noodling.
one simple question, when it comes to setting your nods pouch on yourself, should it be put within your reach when wearing the plate? For example in Adam's case he put his pouch, to the right of his front plate which he can access by himself. But doing so means sacrificing spaces and molles which could be used for mags or other pouches. Since nods are only used in certain environments, why can't we put them on our back panel (mounted on the molles) or just out of our work spaces? And when we need ro use them, simply asking your teammates to grab them for you or if have time, just take of your pc and grab them yourself? Just my opinion
@@Pelonp55 I hope it is very much so, the only thing holding me off from getting an LV119 was the fact there was no quick release on the shoulder, if this is an LV119 V2 I am purchasing it the second it releases.

Immediate thumbs up for any video promoting proper PCCs/PCIs. They're not sexy, but they are critical and 100% need to be deliberate and purposeful
everything is sexy at night.
Commenting to help my homies fight this evil algorithm. Bless up

More like this. Make PCC/PCI cool again.
Hockey tape anything shiney. Jump up and down and see what makes noise and tape that up too!

If you don’t have nods, don’t go out at night. Period. Cheers boys, stay solid
ILLUMINATING Flares. Also, if your white light doesn't have large heatsyncs built into it, your doing it wrong.

Yep I've been doing that for years. I've noticed the zero on your IR laser can be surprisingly easy to lose with a decent bump.
Good point!

Guys, hair is just part of the costume. I literally just don’t care. Vanity is fleeting.
Man the production of these videos is so 🤌. the sound is amazing too!🌧
Thanks dude! Media crew is legit.
I've watched this at least a handful of times and its really helped me get my ready procedure squared away.
These are so important for the general populous

PCCs are super important. Especially comm checks, a simple yet forgetful item.
Love these style of videos. Super helpful and always full of good knowledge.
I’d love to see a video completely dedicated to thermal. Handheld and clip-on particularly seem the most useful for anyone that isn’t a hog hunter.

Great updates. Like that strobe. Valuable info. Cheers from Australia.

I think NODs definitely check the box for "Critical enough to keep on ones person"
I agree, but I see folks keep it elsewhere. Makes me sad..

It was not comfortable.
What a fantastic rundown. Keep up the great work! Thank you
Outstanding video Adam.
Love the videos. Thanks for putting out good info. I’d be interested in a video on vehicle prep for night vision application.
This is a lot of good information. Well organized and well thought out. Thank you!
Awesome work guys.

Great video. How about a laser zeroing/alignment video? I've seen a bunch of ways of doing that but I'd like to see what you guys do.
This is sick but a standard mission PCC would be great to hear from you guys as well. Curious if you have any unique takes.
Low viz kit or kit revolving around civil unrest and other considerations? Like what kit is kept in vehicles, truck gun +kit, preplanning, changes of clothes?

What nod lens caps are those? They look like modified one hundred covers. Love the videos man. Keep pumping out that knowledge transfer

what is your plate carrier?? It's clearly not an LV119
Saw the updates on it too, looks like they have shoulder q/d tubes
Why not use a Hoffman tester for adjusting your goggles?
