Minimal approach to a kit box. All this stuff is the bare essentials of what I need to put on my kit and go shoot. This wasn’t put together as a survival kit or a sustainment kit. All that is in a different box. Thanks for watching.
Consider sleep system, knee pads, extra socks/clothing, food and water, helmet, chest rig (not every mission calls for a plate carrier), spare rifle or parts..water filtration, fire etc. If God-forbid the need arose then it would be a “hurry up and wait” kind of thing. You will need to sustain yourself in the field.
I keep a ballistic helmet, hydration pack, and baton in addition. Great load out. I do keep my ammo in the safe however. Got to go there for my carbine anyway 😊
1) so far, so good. It’s been a good purchase for me and what I’m using it for. 2) I agree, it is the cheaper option and I don’t think it would last long in hard use. 3) it stays packed in the garage, trunk of car, bed of truck, or on a shelf so not a lot of direct sunlight. It rides in the back of the truck for a long weekend at most. 4) the pro’s are the cost and so far, it was been water tight. It’s been in few rain storms in the bed of a truck with no leaks. 5) the con’s…. Biggest con for me is the four closing clamps. I would prefer two closing clamps with a hing.
I thought about keeping water and food in there as well….. I decided not to due to living in a warm climate. I didn’t want to store food and water in the trunk, truck bed, or garage in excessive heat. I ended up making a separate “sustainment” tote with extra supplies. Someday I’ll do a video on that.
Yes. Need a helmet. When it comes to water, I keep all other supplies in a different tote. Water, food, change of cloths….. i live in a warm weather climate and don’t want to leave water or food in a tote that stays in the garage or a vehicle. Some day I’ll do a video on the sustainment tote
Your right. I do need a helmet and I’m currently working towards getting one. If you want, you could post a video of your gear and let me know what helmet you have.
@@MattX113 I’m active duty Military and currently overseas right now and I don’t have my personal owned gear with me unfortunately lol. It’s back home. But what I can tell you is I do have a full cut ACH/ECH helmet instead of a high cut since it’s cheaper. Besides ballistic helmets there are also bump helmets.
That’s awesome. Thank you for your service! Seems like a lot of the younger, up and coming generation isn’t willing to step up and serve these days or so it seems. The military definitely change the trajectory of my life and I’m a better person for serving our country. With that being said, I hope you make it home safe so you can make that video. 🇺🇸 @@ThatGearCollector2002
I am just curious I found a plate hanging in a tree it had been shot 2 or 3 times but no deformities I got it cleaned it up peeled off the antispalding stuff and sprayed it with flex seal now for my question as I know not much about body armor do you wear a plate in front and in back? Because this thing is kinda heavy.
Put that plate back where you found it. It will do you more harm than good. Only by body armors from reputable manufacturers/companies that deal with body armor. Never buy steel plates and Yes, I have front and back plates. No they are not steel plates. I own E Sapi plates which are ceramic and Kevlar. Yes, they are heavy.
