Plate Carrier Setup (First Spear Strandhogg, High Speed Gear Tacos, Thyrm)

- Опубліковано 11 кві 2020
- Plate carrier setups are influenced by the task at hand. My plate carrier setup varies from setting up for carrying mags at the Tactical Games to how I run it for self defense and training. I show my setup as a civilian to hopefully provide some insight for you to setup you kit in a way that best suits your needs.

Thanks for the video!!!! Setting up my LBV for work!
This was the most informal video about this carrier coming from a casual nice dude lol
Awesome info. Hadn't heard of the tactical games until i happened upon your channel. Always wanting to learn more and become a better shooter. Also it's just fun to shoot because 2A and Murica! haha keep up the great content man!
Thanks for the support! Once all this covid stuff calms down definitely check it out they’re are a lot of fun
Thank you for the shout out. My wife is a nurse, and I’m a medical courier.
Just discovered your channel. Really enjoying the content. Thank you!
Thanks for the support!
Great post brother! Thank you!
My thoughts & hopes go out to you and your family my friend. That would be a hard pill to swallow. I pray that your family's life's will become free of this sickness that plagues America 🇺🇸 family's. Thank you for producing excellent content to feeds my firearm addiction.☠💀☠
first vid ive seen, easy sub. sweet content homie
I originally was wanting to run the slickster, but after seeing this video, I’ve decided this is the carrier I need. Also, I watched you put those damn plates back in. Haha
I've been running that exact plate carrier for the last 3 or 4 years. As long as firstspear is in business I will be purchasing all of my plate carriers from them. Top of the line all the way. I'm the one who got Hawaii Five-O start using first spear on mcgarrett
agreed, FirstSpear's quality is tops
So you would recommend getting one? I never used a pc and thinking about getting one for HD, Shtf etc. basically a do all carrier where I might where for a extended amount of time.
@@somedudeona6367 absolutely!!!!
Can you specify what size plates fit which carrier? Will 10x12 fit the medium carrier?
Topi Chico.....love it. Subscribed!
I really want to like this guy. His vids are good, he’s obviously well connected with some high speed dudes, and production quality is good. But my god, I can’t take all the “uhhh’s” during the review. Just too much. I couldn’t finish it out. 🤷♂️
😂facts
7:00 I am running a retrofit tube system on my Crye JPC 2.0 cummerbund, and a UARM EVV ventilation system that velcro to the inside of the plate carrier directly facing my chest & back. When I am wearing my edc Citizen armor IIIa vest as a base layer I remove the EVV ventilation system to allow for the ballistic vest thickness. Some people have questioned why I opted for a minimalist plate carrier if I was going to add a bunch of crap to it, but the simple fact of the matter is that I never wear all of my add-ons at the same time. If the ventilated padded mesh was integral to my carrier then I would not have that option.
May have missed it in the comments but the reasons that the Tactical Games has you carry 5 magazines in certain round is its basis from the military.
Standard load out for deployments is 5/3. I am not 100% sure on if that is why they do it but that is what we carried on each of my tours.
Hope that helps, I did try to look it up, but couldn’t find anything in writing so I could be wrong on their reasoning.
Just found you, love the content and TEXAS baby!!!!!
Yes! And thanks for the support.
Very nice!!!
CT techs are awesome!
Great video!
Thanks amigo!
As a health worker I thank you for your message.
🙌🏻
My setup for normal "tasks at hand" is 5+5 mags... I keep 4 AR mags on a drop leg unit and the pistol are in a couple of different locations.... one is on the drop leg pistol holster, 3 are on my belt, obviously the 5th mag is loaded into the firearm.
Watching as I sip my topo Chico 👊🏼
Yasss
That’s a cool rig, just might have to emulate.
Thanks for the video. What size is your Strandhogg? Do the cumberbunds sack with weight, given then have openings on top?
Awesome review. Can you add the link for the admin pouch you have on your vest please. They have different versions on the website and can't find the one you have on your vest.
I need that AVERAGE JOE patch
Find a friend in a army, every army base has a store with a bunch of different patches like that
Great video! What tactical games are you talking about??
I'm looking at this exact carrier and I'm concerned about that issue with the Tubes on the shoulders. Do you have images or video of how it interferes with the stock? Have you found a way to "unTubes" the shoulder straps?
Great content, mag pouches where did you get them, would like a set
Now that homie. Is one weird way to stage a CAT tourniquet
this is the first time i heard someone mention custodians, when covid first hit i was a custodian at a middle and elementary school, and shit was wild
Just picked one up in a medium. What size Strandhogg did you pick up and what size plates are you running?
Hey man! Can you explain the sizing of the carrier? Is the 10x12 plates going to fit a large? The website isn’t very explanatory. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that bro I was gonna say thank you but I think god bless you is more fitting
I love that set up.. but that plate carrier is almost 500 🤔. That’s probably why I love it 😅
Great video as always! Who makes the molle hook and loop ID pannel? Thanks!
Thanks for the support. It’s First Spear.
Hey quick question. How’s the sizing? I.E. what size did you get and how’s the fit?
What size carrier/plates did you go with ?
Can you attach that cumberbund without those plastic attachments that connect to the carrier ???
Where did you get the hook and loop panel?
Im probably gonna get this carrier..where do i find the hook look panel?
Yo! where can i get some good quality but not too expensive shoulder pads for my eagle industry carrier? dope vid bro
Love the hat man! Anyway to buy one?
how tall are you? how much do you weigh? i was thinking of running a dangler for med but it'll probably give me the same issues you had
How are you going to lay in the prone with all those pouches on the carrier?
What spray are you using to attach the target paper? I hate stapling.....
What's the size of the patch panel on the Mini admin pouch?
where can you get that lower profile shoulder straps?
Meow meow 😂😂😂
Cool video brother 👍👍👍
What line of work are you in? and what do you do just curious.
Good kit I do think you should have medical somewhere. Happy easter
Medical is on the side pouch!
I'll take some chocolate peanutbutter oreos if you got,lol anyways good video brother. Be safe and stay cool.
I’ll see what I can do
Subscribed 👍🏻🔑🧠
How tight of skinny jeans should I be wearing when operating? What do you recommend?
😱 where can I tell you to send my oreos and tp? 😂
Hit them dms on IG
Jim's Goon Life by the way I dm’d you from @d_lafferty_
hey daniel are you related to a patrick lafferty in md? lol
How does this compare to the Agilite K19? Is this better? Thanks
The last 2 minutes of comments in the video was worth the whole thing Hahahaha
Hahaha thanks for sticking around that far
Don't forget about the delivery people.. This world is still functioning because of them!
Absolutely. A lot of unsung heros out there right now.
You look like “Aries” the music artist
Thanks for the awesome review! Been debating between this and the AAC. How tall are you for reference?
The AAC is pretty dope. I’m 5’3”
@@jimmybrodriguez Awesome thanks! And the Plates are Medium Sapi?
What shoulder strap size did you go with
How did you stage your tourniquet that way?
hey... I'm still watching!! Where do I send my address to for the oreos and tp? lolz j/k and, Hiya Wildman!!
Given that you already have a medical pouch on your belt, is the one on the plate carrier truly necessary? Does it contain things that can't fit in the belt pouch or is it more for redundancy? Not criticizing, just curious about your thought pattern on the subject.
there’s a saying 1 is none, 2 is one and 3 is more. If god forbid you had to use a med kit for any reason, you would feel uneasy about not having whatever you just used.
Just got myself the Strandhogg SAPI cut, in Large. What plates are you using, more to the point, did you get the same size plates as your carrier? I am hoping Large SAPI plates fit, 10.25"x13.25" Hesco or similar.
I’m wondering if a 10x12 will fit the large carrier? Or would medium be a better fit?
@@natechester1 I did get Large SAPI plates for my Large Strandhogg, that's how they are sized. You get medium and medium, if we're talking SAPI plates. Borrowed a friends 10x12 AR500 plates, way too loose, and sink down too low. Also tried 11x14, IIRC, and those would not go in the Strandhogg Large.
What size plates do you run?
Porque el chaleco de usted se ve con mucho volumen al tener las placas y otras se ven delgadas?
Wanna know how to find the boot of your unit? Look at how clean and unused the gear is.
Need one of those hats bro
Hats are coming soon!
Hook it up with the Oreos playa! Lol
Where can I go to take one of your classes?
What range can you smoke at? No need for a lighter.
how long is taking them to ship the item???
I’m an essential hospital worker and I expect my Oreos and toilet paper. 😂
do you have any experience with the agilite k19? If so, do you have a preference between the strandhogg and the k19?
No experience with the k19 so i can’t help you there
check out harleywood. He has a video out on the K19.
Almost bought a K19. Very nice, but 12-14 weeks waiting period. Bought a 511 tac tec and it is very comfortable. It has a quick release and you don’t have the adjustment issue or shoulder issues Jim spoke about.
First of sorry about your loss. Second I'm just now getting into guns of course and have a lot of questions but really what's the point of a vest? Every video I see for instructional training people have a vest on and fully loaded with stuff.
Thank you and welcome to the community. A lot of instructors are (former) professional end users or train professional end users so they usually wear the gear necessary for their job. The vests have body armor protection from opposing fire and carry extra equipment. As a civilian you have the freedom to purchase and train in armor but if you’re just starting out I would put an emphasis on training and if you need to carry extra gear get a chest rig, which will help carry stuff without armor plates. Hope that helps.
How do I get one of the Goons Life hats?!?! The white w/ black logo is so fresh!
How many rounds do you expect using in a gunfight? I would prioritize more rifle mags on the carrier.
Well, he has 90, and for most anything civilian or LEO, that'll be more than enough.
@@busybird7149 Yes, but two more mags can do a difference.
So can carrying other equipment in your front pouches. I think part of the idea is that your end goal isn't to get into a firefight, and if you do end up in a firefight requiring 100+ round your primary goal is going to be retreat.
Like he said though, your gear should be specific to your goals and how you think you're going to handle them. If you want to have enough ammo to handle extended or consecutive firefights, go ahead and wear as many mags as you want.
@@busybird7149 I agree to that. I just don't prioritize pistol mags over rifle mags. And I know for sure how easy ammo flies when things heat up.
Call me a noob or uncultured, but what exactly is Topo Chico? Sparkling/carbonated water? Just curious. Awesome video as always man! Nice setup. Is that OD green or "Ranger Green"?
Love the intro, since I'm an "essential employee" in a local hospital. I'm actually in Radiology as well, but I'm not a tech. I'm more of a tech assistant and patient transporter. Praying for your family, as well. I know it's hard with all this crap going on and going around. Thankfully we've only had a handful of positive cases around here.
Topo is just carbonated water.
It is OD green.
Keep on fighting the good fight out there.
@@jimmybrodriguez thanks for the reply brother. 🤘🙂
So why would someone choose this over the 5.11 TACTEC® PLATE CARRIER ?
WHAT IS THE BEST BODY ARMOR!?? I can’t find a company that stands out bc everyone I ask thinks a different company is the best. Want to make sure I get something that is worth it and will do what it needs to
hoplite or hesco, stay away from steel AND anything from AR500.
What’s above the average joe patch
Is there anything other than this type?
Sic patch. Where do I get the 'AverageJoe' morale patch?
I also would like to know this
Velcro panel?
You need some Esstac in your life.
I’ve tried them but wouldn’t hold 1911 and 2011 mags
@@jimmybrodriguez that’s cuz they have specific pouches for 1911s....plus why are you running a 1911 lol
With all this COVID crap going on I feel like a vest/plate carrier group is almost a "must buy" item now! Its only a matter of time before shit hits the fan.
What would that color be considered? OD green?
Yes od green
Where's my Oreos and teepee LOL
Bruh your double decker is mounted right but the other two tacos are backwards. The shock cord goes on the outside on tacos. Google it or just look at HSGI website.
these are the "newer" duty tacos
Are you selling the average joe patch.
those plates be THICC
Hella thicc
Plate Video please
I’ll get some stuff in the works
Free Oreos!! LOL
🤘🏼
What size do you run?
Small carrier, plates and cummerbund
Jim's Goon Life roger that... does it run small, big or exact?
Oreos!
We save that for later lmao
