An old video, but nevermind... I would just pack what I normally carry on a weekender. I got that belt kit for my Rush, but it doesn't "carry" the weight that much. You would need some sort of a stiff frame to transfer the load on the belt. But it keeps the pack from moving around, and the attachment points for canteen pouches are a plus.
For me it can be challenging to reach that 10kg limit with just basic warm weather camping gear, so it is simpler to throw some weight(s) in there and then add first aid, food and water. And yeah at least with this Rush24, the belt kit stays too high compared to where a rucksack's waistbelt would be.
Rucking turns into a very good workout with decent weight and good pace. I normally use 25 kg on back so no need to travel wholle day outdoos. If you then walk with good pace you get a workout similar as running without the high impact. You cqn use clothes with weight so the weight distributes better without discomfort. Any weight is good with that method.
What a funny coincidence. I was just testing my pack load and decided to use a pair of plates like this but steel. The test went alright but one thing I did find is that it trapped the heat coming off my back so when I got up to pace after about 5 kilometers it was getting pretty toasty back there. Might have to have a rethink before friday. I found that on the AMP72 the intermediate compartment can fit 2 plates bottom to bottom pretty perfectly and got my weight right where I needed it so I'm still hoping to make it work.
Good point about the heat, I had not thought about that. But I can see it being an issue especially with steel plates. Will have to see how these things work this weekend.
I've done civilian 50km so far, but due to scheduling constraints I'm probably doing just ~30km this Friday evening. However, I'm planning on doing it in the military division, as this is the first time I have full BDU available.
Got it, sounds like a plan. I’d like to do the military division 25km but not sure if I can wear that in public as a non-Finnish civilian. Unfortunately the internet has left me without answer so it might be the civilian one for me.
@@Flo_ Without any military insignia or badges that you can earn from military service, any BDU is perfectly ok to wear as per puolustusvoimat.fi/documents/1948673/2258811/PELOGOS-AM23936_Ohje_Maastopuvun+M05+RES+k%C3%A4ytt%C3%B6/e625d8ca-8503-40d8-897f-fd6df4a20e75/PELOGOS-AM23936_Ohje_Maastopuvun+M05+RES+k%C3%A4ytt%C3%B6.pdf "Ilman merkkejä ja tunnuksia maastopuku on pelkkä suojavaatetus. Käytettäessä pukua suojavaatetuksena vapaa-ajan toiminnoissa (esimerkiksi erä- ja metsästysharrastuksissa) on PV:n merkkien ja tunnusten käyttö puvussa kielletty" In short, it's a military uniform only when it has the proper military identifications, such as rank badges and so forth, attached. I'd imagine the rules are the same for other nationalities and uniforms too.
Now I realized that my old Rush 24 can be compatible with the new belt kit (previously I just remembered the compatibility with the newer 2.0 variant from the website but now I checked it), cool! They released the new (5.11) "Skyweight Survival Chest Pack" also, will you review it maybe (with comparison to your HPG chest pack)?
I just saw the new Skyweight collection yesterday as well. The backpacks looked great, the chest bags however seemed a bit on the small side at least in pictures. When we get those in Finland I think I'll ask 5.11 if they'd be interested to give me some for review.
@@TaivalOutdoors Thank you, yes it seems smaller but probably more available (in the EU) than the HPG, the ventilation can be different also and it have larger front PALS section which is missing from the other popular one, the Helikon-Tex Numbat.
@@Kobalta That's right. However, I prefer to keep my stuff inside my kitbag and the external MOLLE/PALS isn't a requirement for me. HPG Recon Kit Bags have that feature as well.
@@TaivalOutdoors Yes the HPG Recons are good just quite hard to get currently in Europe (I checked a few weeks ago and as I remember it wasn't available neither in the EU shop nor even at the HPG)
@@Kobalta Here's one lesser know shop you should check out as well. It's in Sweden and not particularly cheap, but at least it is in EU: www.equipt.se/sv/varumarken/hill-people-gear.html
@@TaivalOutdoors at least I checked 2 make certain/sure so that way I'll have little bit of an easier time listing MOLLE Pouch(s) in that Color Scheme 4 the shoulder Straps, Built-In Side (Accessory/GP (General Purpose)/Utility) Compartments/Pockets, Built-In Top Front (Accessory/GP (General Purpose)/Utility) Compartment/Pocket & Built-In Bottom Front (Admin) Compartment/Pocket! Plus RAL 7013 (Brown Grey/Solution Dyed Ranger Green/Stone Grey Olive) is pretty Graymanish in Color Scheme!
@@TaivalOutdoors How do ya like/What do ya think of the RAL 7013 Exterior Loadout I've listed 4 your RAL 7013 5.11 Tactical RUSH 24 2.0 just 2 try 2 help get ya somewhat better prepared/extra ready 4 just about virtually anything & everything in the future/near future?
Ei liity tähän videoon vaan yleisluontoinen kysymys: Osa Reissussa-kanavasi aikaisisra videoista näyttää kadonneen, mm Kämmenlamme laavureissu, Reitti 2000 ja Orrainpolku. Löytyykö niitä vielä jostain vai oletko poistanut ne lopullisesti?
