Just a guy giving honest reviews about guns, gear, and tech. I will also be posting new videos every week so stay tuned and don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.
I know this is an old video, but I found it helpful. I just bought the Lancer Fast helmet and your review helped me to figure out all the points. I’m an old timer (58) and bought the Fast to mount my Arkayne PVS-14. Thanks again.
Would you know if the KRYDEX Fat Strap H Harness would fit on this? Chinese clone set that seems to be about $25. What mods/upgrades would I have to do to get it to fit or could you recommend another which would?
@@duallinkdvi-dcable1822 let me know if you want any other pointers I'm starting to build mine out. I just typed taps upgrade into the search bar and then found a bunch of videos. Ventura surplus has good videos on it.
really have to get a camelback of some sort hell an OG107 cost you like $14 and it carries like 2 1/2 times the amount of water as two canteens on your rig like that. Keep the canteen pouches in place as extra mag storage, gp pouch, extra dump, barring unit SOP color the tabs red and you got an improvised IFAK pouch. If you want you can also carry one canteen in one pouch and have extra water or both but I dont see why you would need that much water. This system is good but it works better in conjunction with some kind of belt once you get the water source on your back it and you include a belt you have tons of real estate to work with and you can carry more gear more easily and with less bulk. I was in the marines so all my gear is coyote brown if you go the ACU route you can have the exact same setup for a third of the cost
an propper NVG Pouch need a Hardcase and Padding on the Outside (makin it silent) AND Padding on the Inside (makin the NVG save during movement) everything else is crap.
Brother everything was going smoothly until you got to show the pants and the video went from reviewing the patagucci combat set to witness your struggle with the hanger 😂😂 .You are doing great just get all what you need before start doing the video
Hey buddy make sure you keep that windlass retainer strap open, so its one less step to do when you need to use the TQ. Thanks for the review. Stay Safe.
Nothing against your review, but I’m a grenadier in the us army. I used this holster for my m320 in a training exercise and this holster broke almost immediately. This product is trash atleast for actual military service.
@@BBWarrior13 That harness is exactly what I needed. I can't stand how the issued harness has horizontal MOLLE instead of vertical. You can't mount anything on the issued piece. It doesn't make any sense.
Holy Jesus. It’s not often you see an actual iotv in these vids. God bless you for making the most out of the bs they give us. The last deployment they required the iotv specially, but I packed my own carrier after the layout. I got chewed out but what could they do lol, we were already there.
The IOTV is like a 5 dollar wine from the gas station...its technically wine and will get you drunk but it hurts when you drink it and you feel sad. But there are so many better options out there.
I have a gen 1 iotv carrier, the soft and hard plates are good but the carrier is wasted. Does anyone know what brand carriers will fit the point blank panels from military issued iotvs?
We have them issued at work, pretty useful ! Another application would be to ditch the casulties equipement inside since it has an opening at the top. Great way to carry all the gear without losing anything !
A little constructive criticism here. The IFAK placement is absolutely terrible, I don't know if that's your unit SOP, if it is, that's stupid. You always want to provide self-aid first whenever you can, so your IFAK should be easily accessible with either hand. Being on the back is just not ideal. And also, your medic/CLS shouldn't have to search for your IFAK, CCA is done at a supine position for a reason, having to log roll you to access your IFAK is just silly. Also, the TQ, please secure it better ;)
Almost every unit I've been in the standard default SOP was to have the IFAK on the left side (non firing hand). Tourniquets,, if you got issued the IFAK2 would be to place one on each side.
I just came across this video because I'm setting up a JPC 1.0 for basically slim profile for carrying a pack and I have my own setup similarly to your own with the same mindset for the front placard. I have the 10 speed setup for low profile so I can get prone without discomfort, and they can retain just about anything you put in them. I have 2 questions if you don't mind. It's been 2 years since you posted this, so maybe you can review something for me. The admin pouch.... Pain in the ass to get the Mags out quickly? I've thought about buying one, but I still want quick reloads. And 2. I dont have a ton of experience with JPC's yet and I've never seen anyone bungee the cumberbund on the back like that before. Is that something that's pretty standard among guys in the field? Mine set up like it came although I swapped out to smaller diameter shock cord for a bit more forgiving mobility. Is there a benefit to doing it your way? Thanks.
I have a video on the Ferro admin pouch on my channel it has an angled design to work around drawing mags. I adjusted the shock cord that works me for the fit of the vest.
Thank you for passing on your knowledge and experience on modernizing the taps. I’d put your med kit contents in a slider ziplock bag or a vacuum bag for quick removal of all the items. Either way Keep up the great content!
I made my first taps from surplus and saved $120 and holds 7 mags. The second one I got in ocp and then cut down the middle to build a split chest rig. It's become my new favorite
