In this series I will show you a modified version of the US issue LC-2 LBE (load bearing equipment). This system is specifically setup as a 72 hour survival kit to be used as is without the addition of a backpack. This system is designed to be survival / evasion type gear, NOT a traditional tactical type system. This kit is more of a bare bones kit mainly consisting of essentials to support one person for 1 to 3 days on the move. It is designed to be a lightweight, mobile, and adaptable solution to carrying essential gear in the field. This system is also a perfect setup for day hiking. Video 1 of 3.

hey Pack rat 5.56, I like you LBE web kit. I have used the same basic kit since 1972 when Uncle Sugar invited me to take my senor trip with his group and we toured several U. S. base's and a few of his nicer over seas vacation spots. I have used my LBE Kit for Hunting and day hikes. We used the same gear set for up to 10 to 14 Days but we would be resupplied either by air or truck. We would also use large Alice packs with a external pack frame. Thanks again for the LBE gear review. Joe-R

Jager, as a marine i say, wow maybe if we rip apart people that share and post here more often. He should be thanked and encouraged to post more. Everyone in bushcraft has their own style and we can always learn from another. The sad point is your survivability is greatly diminished with negative attitudes and not being open to any and all possibilities Its your greatest tool that will save your life. Seeing the positive in any situation. Lets keep this a learning sharing and caring place.

Hey, great system. I use a load bearing vest with sustainment pouches and but pack for small 2-3 day hikes and I love it. Great system.

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Sounds like a good solid kit too!

@PackRat556 14 лет назад

Thanks for watching! I am glad that this was helpful for you. I appreciate your interest and support as always!

@youraveragejoe87 14 лет назад

OH my goodness! I put together a kit JUST like this (I based off of WWII/Vietnam load bearing equipment) for outdoors and survival situations! I never thought anyone ever had the same idea. Really cool, man! Awesome video.

@Tancrad 13 лет назад

this is a model kit! ive seen a lot of these type of videos but yours is layed out the best in my opinion for the size it is.

@PackRat556 14 лет назад

I greatly appreciate that. I am glad that my videos have been helpful for you. I appreciate your support and interest, as it keeps me motivated to continue filming. Take Care!

@Scarcer 14 лет назад

I love how little you carry. Some people showing their 3day packs are carrying multiple of the same tools and things they likely wouldn't use adding maybe half in useless weight.

@NemrutRock 14 лет назад

I greatly enjoyed your video for its immense depth of information and I was inspired by your practical solutions. Good reference material... Thanks for posting. God Bless USA.

@johncrouch8988 10 лет назад

A great set up that can be modded to your own situation. I love it! Many thanks for sharing!

@acebrawler73 14 лет назад

wow. i just happened upon this video randomly and i have just finished neil strauss's book "emergency". Weird. Kool vid man.

@usmchs2993 8 лет назад

I prefer the ALICE Y-Harness system with a Nam era butt pack , 2 saw pouches (5ak mags per), K-Bar, voodoo tactical dump pouch as a med kit, 1 1qt canteen, drop leg pistol holster. I wear this under my ALICE Medium BOB. This system has worked for me for 4 years in USMC and it is what I carry at all times since discharged from Marines in 1976. My Alice pack is mollee modified and I carry an OK3C USMC bayonet with ALICE Pack. This has NEVER failed me once since 1972.

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

I agree, If you shop around, many times you can find some excellent deals out there. Most of the time that surplus gear is of the highest quality. Thanks for watching nightblade. Take care.

@hunterkiller45 15 лет назад

everytime i watch this video it gets better ,well done packrat ,from the old crowman 45

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

I have a couple of these and one is set up like yours, the traditional way as the military intended it to be used. Nothing wrong with a backpack set up either, I also am a pack user. Just depends on the situation which I would prefer. Thanks for your interest and support. Take Care.

@TheSylversurfer77 13 лет назад

Like the music at the beginning. Catchy. Thanks for the info.

@sandkman109 14 лет назад

Thank your for all the videos you have made you helped me get off my lazy tail and go backpacking more I love it so much and really really appreciate a kind person giving in-depth reviews it really helps. Once again thank you so much!

@PackRat556 14 лет назад

I do usually carry bug repellent. Just happen to leave it out during filming. Thanks for catching it. Take Care.

@haansgruber 14 лет назад

Good video I'm sure you're right an experienced survivalist could last with as little as a flint, knife and compass But, it's always nice to have other tools for piece of mind and a little added comfort the two most important things to have are a good mental attitude and be prepared, thing soften happen with only a moments notice peace :)

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Thank you! I can share a bit w/ my neighbor if needed! lol. Thanks for watching!

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

I also like to see others ideas, There are many great ideas out there to help you improve. Thanks for your interest and input!

@skelitalmisfit12 14 лет назад

I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! you are a very good survivalist. if i had to go with anyone into the wild YOU should be anyones first choice.

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Me too. You can learn a lot buy seeing what others are doing with their gear and adapting different ideas to fit your own personal needs. Thanks for watching!

@PackRat556 14 лет назад

Hi SkillSet7, I appreciate your kind words of support. I am in the process of filming a followup to this video to show the exact system you are asking about. I hope to post it soon. In my opinion, the cross draw is really a personal preference. If it is comfortable for you and you get good results, then I think it is fine. I have practiced with the traditional setup for so long, it is what I am comfortable with personally. again, if it works for you, use it! Thanks again for the support!

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Thanks! They are very convenient. I think these are great for in the field use. They can be used as patches too if you need to swab the bore, at least until you have better means to clean your weapon.

@Quadmachine0 15 лет назад

The only suggestion I would make would be to add a poncho liner to the kit. It is works as a decent makeshift blanket in warm environments.

@PackRat556 14 лет назад

Sounds like a great system. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

@purplemutantas 13 лет назад

I quick suggestion for the ALICE pouches. Tactical Tailor short MALICE clips can be used in place of TA-50 keepers (ALICE clips). MALICE clips are lighter and more durable than ALICE clips. They also are not going to pop open on you. I use them on my bug out bag for an ALICE canteen pouch. I combine that with an ALICE to MOLLE adapter so I can stick it on the PALS webbing on my pack.

@Skills2survive 15 лет назад

Excellent man, I have used an LBE set up for years as a 24 hour type kit. I like the idea of having the rem oil wipes, I will have to get some of those.

@amrasurvivalchannel2708 8 лет назад

nice set up I love the lbe as an addition to your bob

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Very true indeed. Thanks for commenting!

@desertsurvivalist1 12 лет назад

I tried that drop leg holster setup on my first LBE system....it got a bit awkward to walk. Looks like a good setup though!

@hectorrespeto 13 лет назад

Great video!! I'm modeling mine after this one. Nice work!!

@jagarcia1 14 лет назад

great video PackRat556, keep up the good work

@SPCkeith 14 лет назад

lol i watch knife tests quite a bit when im in the market for a new blade. i had seen then snap a kabar offf chopping though a 2x4. and said yo my self "im getting the gi tanto." i love that knife.. i was looking at getting a short kabar to preform utility tasks but found the cold steel bowie spike.. once again very glad with my choice. when im in the market for something i go ape shit in info. i look at everything on every product im looking at.

@warriorofsteel01 14 лет назад

6 mag chi com style rig would be great over this....good for fighting light.you can fit a wool blanket /poncho or a light blanket wrapped up in a poncho and put on that butt pack

@ssgcmwatsonusa 11 лет назад

I would dummy-cord the compass to the d-ring that its pouch is mounted on.

@michaelsommerhauer921 10 лет назад

love it. keep it real was a 11c in the Army and that about what we carried till we could link up with our rucks and duffle bags. sure minus unrealistic mags from hell for m16a2 same.

@BeatleMan14 13 лет назад

Good kit man. I'd like to make one. Thanks for the video

@bayouknives660 11 лет назад

Oh BTW love your channel so full of usefull info

@MOUNTAINOUS 14 лет назад

great vids. my sensei just turned me to this channel by a link. great stuff. i subscribed. i make fun training vids too. take care

@jeremy67A 11 лет назад

looks good!

@thumbsnap 10 лет назад

@ omgPepper, the description begins immediately with an explanation that this series differs from the back pack series, because you can throw it on and be good to go for 72 hrs. I like this series because I feel the army departed from what worked and what made sense when they change their load bearing equipment. I was in the Army reserves during the 80's and used the pistol belt and suspenders, with 2 canteens, a butt pack with poncho. I had everything I needed for several days at all times.

@ezrabrooks12 2 года назад

Good Video.

@ThePlayallnight 11 лет назад

THANK YOU!

@punkmechanicalkid 14 лет назад

While I'd never carry half the stuff you pack, that's my personal preference, I appreciate you showing people your choice items. One thing I'm noticing with these edc/bob/bug videos... They're too long or waste too much time. It really didn't require 4minutes just to get to your items... perhaps I'm part of the "I NEED IT NOW" generation, but honestly, we're back-packers, campers etc... we know what this stuff is for, just show us what you have. No hard feelings mate!

@glock19gen3 11 лет назад

What type of belt are you using as well as the type of packs? Do the packs attach using molle?

@Notnow0 14 лет назад

@PackRat556 where did you get this lbe. also did it come with the rest of the bags and if not where can i get bags to go with it

@omgPepper 12 лет назад

Explanation starts at 3:37

@alfredstrickert4107 7 лет назад

We had to follow SOP in the 2MARDIV in the late 70s early 80s w the ALICE set up- two 3 mag ammo pouches, one on either side the buckle, E tool on left hip, gas mask bag on leg or chest, canteen with Gas mask cap on left hip, on center of back went the IFAK,then the second canteen w/cup, next bayonet or knife (or holster) then a pistol ammo pouch if so armed. everybody same same and it gave you your fighting load, hanging on the harness over your armor. No butt pack, everything else went into the medium ALICE pack, w/o frame.

@0122358 14 лет назад

have you looked into those Natick canteen cup stoves?

@haansgruber 14 лет назад

The Ka-Bar is a mass production knife and probably fine for the weekend warrior (who probably will not be splitting logs hitting theirs with a 2 x 4) :) Custom knives are a far better choice except then, price becomes a consideration Tops knives makes some good knives Ty Goo makes nice customs There are a bunch out there (they can get pretty pricey) peace :)

@yeehaw94 14 лет назад

Listen guys. ANY knife can and will break if used hard enough. The bottom line is Ka Bars are good knives for the price and yes the tang extends through the handle and pommel and is pinned to the pommel.

@Boompoet 12 лет назад

Which is really better, a load bearing platform or a back pack / ruck kit? It seems like a load bearing setup would be more comfortable to travel with but a backpack kind of a thing would be quicker to grab. My question would be, what about a tactical vest plus battle belt? Would that be the best of both worlds? Also, in survival situations, appearances don't matter but in a bug out / urban unrest type situation, I'm told you don't want to look like a militant or survivalist. Thoughts?

@ihateforigners 14 лет назад

thanks

@tabutog 14 лет назад

hello everyone, where can i buy an L.B.E and the canteen with the cup and stove in it. thank you packrat very informative

@2bidfilmsguy 13 лет назад

@Grom76300 12 лет назад

Mora survival knife rocks !

@mushidigger4693 12 лет назад

@Nervjiggy i recomend sog knives mine have been great the machete can handle almost anything you try to chop the jungle primatives good to

@PackRat556 15 лет назад

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

@VernonWallace 14 лет назад

Where do you purchase your items? I have looked at some online and they seem a little expensive.

@0122358 14 лет назад

Nroc13, get both. Each can serve you in different situations

@0122358 14 лет назад

3 days is the universal recomended amount for gear. After 3 days, your situation is gorwing wors exponetialy.

@haansgruber 15 лет назад

I prefer the 762x51 - 308 to a necked down .22 peace :)

@laney50w 14 лет назад

Hey PackRat556, I just started watching your videos! Real good stuff! Curious...Do you ever carry a snake bite kit with you when you're out in the wilderness? I know where I live, there's TONS of Rattlers, Copperheads, and Cottonmouth's...Gotta be mindful of those suckers! hehe

@SPCkeith 14 лет назад

nope i use a gi tanto and a bowie spike. the tanto is perfect for chopping and will not brake like a kabar could (kabars do not have a full tang) and the spike is great for skinning and gutting. its a good combo for 40 bucks and i would rather carry 2 grate knifes vs one so so one for the tasks at hand. a bit unorthodox but works great in my opinion. and the weight is not an issue the spike is like 4 Oz. and the tanto isn't much more if any then a kabar or anything.

@decomanjoel 15 лет назад

nice LBE i have one too

@andrewcoberley1121 11 лет назад

Quick question, roughly about how much for the entire kit??

@Quadmachine0 15 лет назад

The hand sanitizer can be especially useful, with the swine flu being contracted in different areas. The best way to prevent it is hygiene. Stay safe everyone.

@ihateforigners 14 лет назад

How do you know?

@AdioUKO 14 лет назад

Great Video! Does anyone know the music details of the intro track? Please tell me, i love it! =)

@ihateforigners 14 лет назад

Song?

@SPCkeith 15 лет назад

im going to do this for my tornado kit. have my food and stuff on my leg instead of on the left pouch and 2 canteens plus buttpack

@SPCkeith 14 лет назад

becuase the people i saw break them said they where not full tang like a GI tanto.

@AllanRitch 13 лет назад

@PackRat556 love your channel and your videos... but get a mic please

@Sbrussaard 11 лет назад

I would find a better place for the knife. When unholstering the knife there doesnt seem to be much space and it looks like you could damage your gear or yourself. For the rest, great video, great gear!

@SPCkeith 14 лет назад

i like my cold steel lol.

@RobWilsonII 14 лет назад

It is a free song that comes w/ windows vista

@KatJaguar1122 12 лет назад

dates and dried fruit would be superior calories to the sugar's crash and burn. Add in nuts for fat.

@haansgruber 14 лет назад

The Ka-Bar does have a full tang blade. I'd be happy to make a video for you if you'd like also watch the tests performed on the D2 (model 1228) here on youtube (by knife tests [dot] com) watch?v=6xRdGJtEr5U peace :)

@37NAU 13 лет назад

you need more water. you need it instead of food.

@danwesson2485 9 лет назад

17LBS!!! Holy Sh__!! As soon as you stop "hiking" you are taking that off to rest. It now becomes worthless as soon as you take it off. So many hikers leave their heavy bag behind..... just to take a walk, go look around a bend, find water, etc. Then they are screwed.

@jamesaritchie2 8 лет назад

+Dan Wesson By that "logic", a backpack is also worthless. This really isn't about hikers, it's about a seventy-two hour bugout. It's not the same thing. You don't walk off and leave gear under such circumstances, though there's nothing wrong with stashing gear for a scout. It's essential under bugout conditions.

@usmchs2993 8 лет назад

you do not need to take it off if you have it adjusted correctly

@theterriblerabbitofdeath 11 лет назад

here small proposition : to clean you get soap and hot water= drop the hand sanatizer , it does not clean anny thing , switch the plastic bottle for a metal one and your in buisiness sir

@Dutch1951x 4 года назад

Good setup, but no offense that is a crap holster.

@ihateforigners 14 лет назад

lol

@bayouknives660 11 лет назад

well Shirley you did not offer opinions but orders as in you ordered him to move his poncho, get rid of the black pack and get a REAL knife or did I mis read that. I offered facts and questions of which you responded to niether

@bayouknives660 11 лет назад

excellent response shirley nothing about you assaults me. I just love the holier than thou I know better than you attitude from a want to be warrior

@bayouknives660 11 лет назад

Marines have carried the poncho like that since Viet Nam. So what is wrong with black? the viet cong wore black in the jungle. Any knife is better than no knife at all. Have you ever been in a combat situation? or are you an arm chair operator

@RayJames552 11 лет назад

This is a true 72 hour kit. Your heavier kit (I watched all 5 vids) is to big/heavy in my opion. Too much redundancy. Lets hope we never use these things for anything more than a day hike or long weekend redreational get away.
