    Your content is getting much better man! Super helpful for us!!
  • Great video bro. The camy paint for going up and down stairs killed me HAHA
  • Subbed and definitely looking forward to more videos on similar content. Keep up the good work

    Haley Strategic flat pack. its an awesome back panel. collapses flat with nothing in it expands(with zippers) into a small day pack to carry whatever you need. Attaches with MOLLE and has a set of straps so it can be worn individually.

    Love the videos dawg, keeping them up :) Also looking forward to the next minutemen video!

    Why the F*** didn't i see this before i spent @k on mine! I actually love this setup you have. I settled for a crapy med kit placement and a small cumber strap because I was impatient. Superb job on this build my friend as I have had a few now and appreciate a true functional build. Not a fan of carrying to much to be prepared for a miracle situation. 100's of hours of research and you have nailed it. Oh and your radio pouch looks Amazing!
  • I pretty much have the same setup but got the medium back panel. I can put a bladder in there and also route my antenna thru the shoulder pads into it.

    As a civilian if you need more than 4 mags, you are in deep enough that 17 won’t save you either.
  • @sethr.9349
    Arguing about having a 7 mag load out. laughs in 17 mag loadout.
  • Standard 7 mag load out, plus another 6 mags under the arms, plus another 6 mags in the pack, plus another 2 mags on the belt.
  • Question.. I'm thinking of pros and cons of having the secondary weapon on the plate carrier along with rifle and pistol magazine pouches and tourniquet pouch a flashbang grenade pouch and a trifold handcuff pouch and a drop gp On the belt just ifak dump pouch a rifle magazine pouch an extra sof t a blade flashlight and probably two gp what do you think?
  • @Masta_E
    Good stuff my dude, take my like and subscription.
  • What is the Price point on the setup in the video run? Would add back and side plates.
  • @ordnance7222
    Is it weird that at a 17 year old, I'm watching this I fucking love the idea of modern minutemen even the plate carrier and helmet looks dope I gotta get a job to buy this stuff.
  • Dig it. I appreciate the GP "build", makes me feel a lot better about mine. Thoughts on a "tactical satchel/minuteman bag" as an addendum for more sustainment? Edit: TLDR, have you done a video on squaring away & packing a ruck(ish) style pack? That's my current adventure and am researching.

    Great video! Everybody has their own take on things. I like slick carriers... you can throw your load on top and be good to go. If you run ALICE gear or FLC it can go over the slick, and slick can be removed for fast/light movements. What you demonstrate looks expensive: specific components to be compatible with that specific carrier. Just saying.
  • 16:31 from my experience I would tell you to put the knife on your non-dominant side because lets say u needed your dominant hand to protect your pistol from being stolen and your knife would be on the same side as the pistol you wouldn’t be able to use the knife **Sorry if my english is not perfect It’s not my native language
