“Nothing crazy” “I like to keep things simple” - Random SF guy circa 2022
"Nothing crazy"- stuff Worth more than my car
Guy must be super new. Refers to breacher related kit constantly so probably just out of breacher school. Bare minimum in the IFAK and no easy access TQ so probably hasn't been to TCCC yet. Zero water source, so probably hasn't deployed to anywhere hot yet lol.
@@badkarma11b lol. the internet is hilarious
@@badkarma11b brother in Christ, tourniquets can go in pockets. Also you dont need water, just eat ORS packets.
Oh you sweet Summer Child
Guys, in case there was any doubt, there's nothing crazy on any of his kit. I can't stress this enough.
i think he likes to keep things simple
*sniff
Lol he almost said tip to butt but caught himself 😂😂
No shame we all love the flannel daddy
Bro he likes to keep things simple, nothing crazy.
@@Muricanwerewolf he didn’t come up with that phrase
@@sancfireactual307 next you’ll tell me he didn’t invent guntubin’
nut to butt is the correct operator terminology
I’m glad his kit involves “nothing crazy” and he pointed that out to us.
The Buc-ee's Patch on the battery pack is just *Chef Kiss*
I was watching another channel last night about a retired Green Beret. He was talking about the downside of a career in special forces and proceeded to describe a very long list of broken bones, detached muscles, torn cartilages, etc. Then he talked about the high divorce rate and never seeing family. You gotta really want it to be one these guys. It's not something that I ever could have done but glad that we have brave men who step up to do this.
I’ve deployed twice in support of ODA’s in both Afghanistan and Syria and it blows my mind how similar all their kits are. I hung out with the D’s a bunch my first deployment and learned as much as I could from them and my 2nd tour they essentially were running their kit very similarly to me. Just really goes to show how good their training is because they carry the minimum for such a wide mission set from partner force training to DA in any environment. Truly professionals.
Met them a few times also, best part about them is they honestly love sharing their knowledge and teaching no matter your rank or position.
Tons of military jargon here, but love this comment regardless!
I wish you people would talk in layman’s terms… we get it; you served. But be practical. Stop trying to show off with the acronyms. It’s odd to believe people would automatically know wtf you’re talking about on a public platform! 😂😂😂
@@zitiboylilo5789it’s called vernacular, they’re not doing it to show off. You forget you’re even saying acronyms in the military.
What type of AR was that?
Great video - definitely need to do more shakedowns with active service SOF guys!
same pfp tf
I agree
His pistol red dot is C L A S S I F I E D
Unless they had that slide milled special (not unlikely) or run adapter plates (why would you), not hard to figure out.
I'm not saying it is the Romeo 2 from Sig, but working in a gun store and handling it (also owning the optic), that would be my choice for a 320. Direct mount to a 320, no special tools (ie flat head) to change battery, comon 2032 coin battery, and run open or enclosed.
It’s just a delta point pro
@@DustinS. the standard issue optic that is for the m17 is the delta point pro
@alecaygt just curious how do you know that is a DPP and the issue optic will be a DPP?
SIG came out during shot show and announced the M17 optic, specifically for the military contract.
@@DustinS. Leopuld specifically made the DPP for the m17/m18.
I also was able to have an m17 issued to me with the delta point pro on it.
They even made it so specific to that pistol that when you take the plate off and put on the DPP. You lose the rear sight so as co witness the DPP has a slot where you can put one in.
He failed to mention the most important item: The Spiritus Blur.
haha
I wonder when they’ll release those
he also has the classy buccees patch!
Hint......Alfred E Neuman
"Nothing Crazy"
I know there are people losing their shit right now seeing this man running a Holosun and I’m here for it 🤣
I just got the same one and I was like hmmmm oddly similar red dot.
China?
Well hey, if its good enough for routing oro-democracy protesters and ethnic minorities...
The "surefire light" is an Insight WMX-200 for anyone else curious about it.
The light on the pistol is the Surefire x300-V
Do you know the mount he has on the light?
@@milsaucepodcast2745 Pistol: it's built into the light
Rifle: No idea
Wait till they find out what those wmx 200 go for. 😂
@@SevereMkII when he says this in the video hes not talking about his pistol hes talking about the weapon mounted light on the SBR
I remember maybe 8 or 9 years ago when my cousin got back from working in Africa as a GB just before he went with the 3 letter guys. He had his "dumbed down" kit he had to carry with him in case he got a call, basically just a Spiritus with enough stuff to fall out the back of a truck and still be effective, his Ops Core and his "non service" rifle . It would be a pretty simple and standard set up nowadays, but back then it was the most high speed shit I'd ever seen. He told me that it was the gear he was cleared to carry during off hours because his duty gear had sensitive equipment that would usually be waiting for him on whatever plane they would send if he had to go to work. Most of the kit he had wouldn't be seen by the civilian market for quite a while, now every guntuber and IG cool guy has it. I can't imagine the type of shit he's got now..
If you look up pictures of Rangers back in 2006/2010 they “advanced gear” they had, is what all infantry now has. It is absolutely insane, my uncle who served in the USMC said “All the guy gear that regular infantry has now no matter what branch, they are 20 years behind. So imagine what SF/SOF guys got now.”
@@tazbandz6688 I'd kill to see pics of my cousin's current gear, now that he's no longer US military he's allowed to basically choose whatever he wants without having to go through the military acquisition process while still having access to stuff only SOCOM can get their hands on. Even back in the day he wasn't allowed to show me what plates he was using in his carrier, just that they were "equivalent to level IV+".. I've got IV plates and I can tell you they're considerably heavier than his whole carrier at the time
@@TucsonHat if hes no longer military what does he do? If you don’t mind me asking or is it classified? And I feel you, i’m close with someone who was a Green Beret. He doesn’t tell me Jack shit either, no pictures, nothing. He 100% has stories for days but keeps that life very very quiet.
@@TucsonHat but any SOF/SF element’s gear is 100% insanely advanced, maybe some stuff are “out of date” for them but perfectly in date for all other infantry. Tier 1 units are the ones getting the extra advanced shit. But no doubt they got fun toys; I’m serious though look up pictures from 2000’s-2010’s of SOF/SF. Primarily Rangers, SEALs hell even DEVGRU. All they got is what Marines, Army, have now. It’s literally the most insane shit.
@@tazbandz6688 all I can say is he currently works for the government as a "contractor". The stuff he's likely got access to probably won't get to infantry guys for a couple decades if it ever gets there at all. But then again he probably uses the "plausible deniability" gear more often than not these days
“Nothing crazy” has the best gear on the market lmao
Went shooting with a guy who is close friends with the dude who makes those belts! Definitely a solid belt! Love the videos Spiritus!
Love all your shows guys
Have to keep the pistol red dot’s identity secret, in case anyone comes for its family lol
must have some secret radar absorbent multicam paint family recipe written on it.
What was it?
I was wondering my the red dot was blurred, but now it makes perfect sense🤣
The red dot on the pistol is most likely a new model from Sig that’s not available through commercial dealers yet. I work for a Sig Defense Dealer and got a preview of it when I was at Sig factory in November. It’s proprietary to the M17/M18, currently fielded by some tier one units, other units are seeing it and asking how they can get Glock’s modified to accept it.
@@Flcop177 Running joke in the comments is his red dot is a Holosun???
I'm a gear head so I love videos like this.
Awesome stuff. Always a treat hearing from a professional and why he sets up his gear.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's cool to see some content from the green berets, I feel like you don't see enough from them
Rep'n Buc-ee's is a vibe all on its own. Hell yeah brother.
Thank you for your service to our country. Lots of comments here about you being a "new guy" but even if you are, who cares!? I have nothing but respect for ALL our troops, and am in awe of those in our Special Forces. The physical and mental toughness demands respect.
May God protect you and all our troops.
Love seeing shakedown videos they’re top notch
Thanks!
So much for "silent professionals."
@@silvermediastudio What was it you THOUGHT you meant by saying this?
@@1x1nDone I said what I said. What's wrong, you didn't make the cut and feeling inadequate?
Its such a pleasure to hear from someone with real Experience
A fellow Buc-ees aficionado.
These videos are great and they are killing it keep them coming. Pretty simple and streamlined set up. Nice!.
I appreciate the simple explanations. Good video.
All his equipment is very accessible for the comon person. The only thing i see being crazy spendy are the NVGs and the MAWL. But i love these videos. All these videos are recipes for everyone to take notes and build there own setup.
These videos are great and they are killing it keep them coming
Thank you!!!!!! For everything.
Dig the Buc-ee's patch on the helmet 😂😂 Man of class
Gear so clean you could turn it into CIF
They'll tell you something is missing when it's not.
*chef's kiss* classic
Literally never been used.
Pretty simple and streamlined set up. Nice!
Glad you like it!
I like the magnet idea.
Thank y'all for your service to OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
GOD BLESS and keep you safe
Man, this is gonna be good
This is gonna be fire
Thank you for your service!
Definitely from Texas, with his Bucees Patch
It seems to me that SOF dudes are the only ones that don’t really care about brands. If it works for them that’s all that matters. I dig it.
How it should be. Winning doesn't mean being the biggest gear queer.
“Material doesn't maketh man.”
@@EdwardsHavoc87 but it does maketh men happy
The buckees sticker is pristine 👌👌
go hard with the buc-ees patch
He moves fast like the flash!
Please do a Shake Down of an 11B and/or 0311 😂…that’s the true test of pouches and retention, since the entire platoon cage gets drawn out
Ok
11B in the house. Alot of the standard issue/ deployment issue pouches are crap. Some still have metal snap buttons on them LMAO. in my unit the command team was ok with us buying 3rd party pouches and pouches only when it came to the chest rig ( shows you how archaic the conventional military is ). I deployed to Iraq with the high speed taco mag pouches which turned out to be trash when getting in and out of Maxxpro's and MATV's, fucking mags falling out everywhere. I ended up selling them to a cherry in my platoon for half of what i paid cause he liked the way the looked. I reverted back to the issued two mag holsters with velcro flap( they we're not sexy but they did the job very well). Because of my units constant mission tasking by SOF elements to westpoint pog convoy security my kit was CONSTANTLY changing. Some days i would have 3 2x mag pouches a gp pouch for night vision and another gp pouch for random shit like multi tool, rip it's and chem lights. The next day i would have a slick plate carrier, tactical tailor belt for 40mm's and be assigned to the AT4, Carl G, 240, 320, or 50 ( think of it like a guy camping the loadout drop in call of duty warzone but instead the load drop is a burning hot gun truck sitting like a duck while IDF is pounding the area around it ( serious pucker factor). From my time in the infantry in training in garrison to deploying to the battle of mosul, i can say the best kit is two parts- slick plate carrier and chest rig that has everything you will need on it with extra room for other shit you will pick up along the way. The reason two parts is useful is because sometimes you won't need all that equipment, just a few mags and a weapon, so it's best to not let it weigh you down for no reason. As the saying goes in the Infantry; "ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain.
Nice kit and setup
Man is more badass than any of us will ever be
“I usually have a light on here I case I need to look at stuff”
SF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
Thanks for the knowledge brother 🇺🇸💪🏻
Any time!
Thanks for doing this, awesome to see how these guys all seem to stick to KISS model. Really enjoy the content, thanks for putting this out
Our pleasure!
love the buccees patch
Best ASMR video ever made
Finally the day has come!
It’s always awesome to see what gear my Brothers are runnin’. Mine is very similar. When I was first accepted into the teams I was shown some really setups and took note. My gear has served my quite well by keeping it simple and ready to change over for different missions or training.
Thank you
I’m happy to see what he’s running… especially the patch👊🏻
Buckee 👍🏼
ID as Texan. LOL
@Brian Rowe
When I peeped the back of that cranial, I thought “A Bucee Brother. This is the way” 😂
Ya know the old saying “No Man Left Behind.... Unless they’re not baptized in the Gasoline Fires and Brisket Juice of Bucees. They can call an Uber” -Thomas “Truck Stop” Jefferson.
Buc-ee's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@WolfQuantum I was wondering if anyone else was going to catch that
Thank you.
You're welcome!
The new green beret camouflage training they have is quite incredible. I know he only has it painted on his face right now, but once it's all over him you wouldn't be able to tell who's there at all!
Take aa shot every time every said "nothing too crazy" 😂
And ummm
That magnet for the shotgun is genius
Holds a shotgun secure?
Until you stick to a metal doorframe on the way through the door and throw your shots super bad. It's a real issue.
That is some high speed cable management right there
Nice loadout
SOCP is a great little knife
I was so stoked to get 14's, I cant even imagine what the 31's look like.
That Buckees sticker is 🔥
Nice!
Good setup.... I've trained there, awesome place to train at.
It sure is!
The blood curling "REEEEEE" your Holosun has caused in Social Media Snob groups, aka Chairborne Rangers, is absolutely EPIC!!!
It’s rather amusing for sure best believe they will come to a screeching halt scrolling the feed when they see an SF guy running a Holosun optic to depend their life on lol. I never question our SF guys it’s a real privilege to me to be able to just listen and soak up tips and tricks their allowed to share to us civilians. Hope to see more and more SF guys do these types of videos I’ve learned some very impressive and helpful knowledge listening to guys from different units.
Just functional.!
Interesting. I always liked to use the button on the laser but didnt use it enough. Ultimately I ran it closer to the red dot to even out the weight. I guess if you are spending this much time over duel tube NODs it makes sense to move your BUIS back behind the laser. Then if it has a visible option just switch to the laser instead of the last ditch BUIS. I am also a big fan of keeping the pistol side free to be able to do a draw. Running things slick is good too I just question the phone storage situation. Hopefully this is not during a active mission.
Nice Video! Thanks for the Infos.
9:30 get a Mu metal shielded box for that shotgun magnet when not using it for retention friendo. You'll be glad you did in an ECM environment (where gps don't work) where you'll have to utilize your lensatic compass. 😉
CRAZY!
Ahhhhhh yeah, shake down time!
brown chicken brown cow!~
SOCOM letting the surfer dudes in i love it. For anyone of you who didnt notice his lower receiver. Its obvious issued or soemthing. I think he has been swapping iut a bunch of other little pieces here and there so to the guy saying he is new. Atleast to building a kit it doesnt seem so.
Was that a Bucky's patch? If so, I only know of one ODA that actually was given the go ahead by Bucky's to use it as their team emblem or you're like me and from the great country of Texas. Love the belt set up, I'm a former Echo now a breacher on a SWAT team, guessing you are a chuck. Anyways, "De Oppresso Liber" brother.
Please do a medics kit. I’ve heard plenty of people talk about March belts but nothing as far as body armor.
Dude must be pretty new lol. Good stuff
Take a shot each time he says, “ehh” or sniffs and you’ll be drunk in no time.
I enjoyed this very much. Like he said. Nothing crazy. Take what you need for the mission and do what you gotta do. Dont take ankleweights skydiving lol
What’s the over under on why you carry only 4 mags +1 in the gun? Seems pretty light, but I figure you have CAS and crew served weapons on the vehicles yeah?
This guy: "Nothing crazy"
Me: *Everything I've ever wanted*
Are u able to show how u set up the magnet? That is a great idea!!
How are the M17s holding up. I haven't seen or heard much feed back since they have been deployed?
In the Spiritus Blue We Trust
Great video. What Safariland holster are you using with the Legion? I can’t find one that fits the Legion. Thank you.
Thank You 🙏😎👌👏👍🇰🇷🇺🇸
Good ole Texas man
I like how he has an ngal and a holosun
I respect the BucEEs patch. A special forces Texan
At the end he mentioned having magnesium added in the grip for weight, but I’m sure he meant tungsten. Magnesium is super light for its size, whereas tungsten is super heavy.
I like the buckees patch
Same
I've got an old VTAC sling. Probably his first gen. my biggest issue is how heavy the buckle is. I think the latest releases are ok, but, go with QD!
What are those straps he's using on the Safariland UBL to attach it to the belt???
I’m glad I’m. Not alone in catching the Holosun
Was that what was blurred out? And if so, why?
@Joe Friday holosun was on his rifle. No idea what the pistol dot was. Probably something the military is doing testing on but idk
@@natearnold7585 Spiritus told me in another reply that it's a prototype.
@@Joe_Friday oh neat
@@Joe_Friday CCHHYNA
That’s some clean kit that’s never been used outside of Bragg, lol
Not even at Bragg
? The rmr on the back of the side arm is that the new Eotech or the new one by Holoson?
My astigmatism must be getting worse. I can’t even see the body of the red dot now, let alone the reticle
This comment is underrated
I see the Aimpoint Micro red dot a lot these days. Is it replacing the Eotech or are they both getting a lot of use?
best thing ive learned, especially from the guys who do it for real is that less is more. Carrying unnecessary amounts of stuff for flash and looks isnt effective for training or for go time.
My two cents is that I would be careful over learning these lessons from a civilian or minuteman prospective. These guys have air assets for infil and exfil, they have blocking forces, QRF, etc. They also have a huge logistics network supporting them. Their missions are also clearly defined so they can keep it simple. When you have these support assets, running 3 mags and having a less is more mentality makes sense. From a civilian prospective in almost any scenario, you never know who you might be going up against or what the mission could be. You’re infil and exfil might be rucking on foot and you are your own logistics network. Therefore I personally wouldn’t practice or expect to fight with a loadout like this.
@@jrapp1468100% train like these guys .. but prepare for you own “ mission “ .. what works for one won’t work for all
