I was about to clock out and sleep, until I got the notification that Jeff uploaded, who needs sleep when you can watch this month's rations of Modern Tactical shooting

The old footage of Jeff is always so cool.

This is one of the best channels on the Internet

Your background, personality, presentation, and topics in videos are very unique. Not many SF guys talking in depth about earlier SOP’s in the GWOT. Many channels that are run by such experienced people tend to focus on solo or squad sized SOP’s. Most situations in life entail small unit, unsupported skill sets.

That messenger bag... That's the Jack Bauer power-hour bag!

Sewjourn Gear makes a "minuteman bag" that has a built in pocket for a water bottle, can store a IFAK+, can accept a 3x AR mag placard, and still has room for snacks, meds, etc. It's a single-strap bad that comes with a keeper, so if you're moving fast with it it won't shift around your body.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for you to post. Favorite gun guy on KZfaq.

I was looking to do a video on this from the LE standpoint. This is something we have to drill constantly. Defeating the locks on the rifle, not getting hung on the 47 wires on the console, missing the printer armrest, Not smashing it into thw roof, not getting your sling hung on the steering wheel oflr shifter( really funny to watch happen to someone other than you at speed). Grab the bail bag at the drivers seat rear. EmGet away from thw death trap truck and engage. Really great to drill

I love when you share the old videos!

Glad to see you addressed the bungie cord when on the floorboard with your bag. Thank for all the information!

It's always kinda amusing to me when YT people are giving each other hand-me-down tactical gear. I look forward to Henry's review of your UMP mag carrier.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, we are very grateful that you care enough to make these videos for us.

best shooting channel by far.

The Minuteman bag from sewgering gear is really good

Jeff, you always have some of the most useful and most informative stuff out there. I/we truly appreciate it. The value of this kind of educational material from experienced people like you can hardly be overstated. Only one suggestion/difference of opinion. The Lifestraw is not the greatest water filter. Virtually any Sawyer water filter will be much better, last longer and be more useful. You may want to check out the Sawyer Micro Squeeze - it attaches to most common water bottles (dirty water in the bottle) and then you drink straight from the filter, or filter into a clean bottle. Out of all the gear you showed, the water filter is the one most likely to be utilized/needed on a regular basis and that Lifestraw barely qualifies as a filter. The Sawyer is no more expensive, lasts longer, and works much much better.

Never disappointed in your content! Your efforts are much appreciated

Great content, as always. My bag has a shoulder strap and an additional waist belt to secure it when I have time. Set up for fighting and treating blood loss (active shooter, terrorism). Rifle mags, extra 33 round pistol mag. and bleed control items, chest seals, etc. CAT secured on the strap for easy access. Extra flashlight, extra fixed blade. Thanks for the post! Remembering the sacrifices of all veterans on the 80th anniversary of D Day! 🇺🇸

The agilite amap iii with the ability to attach a placard to the outside seems pretty ideal in this scenario

I always liked the Eagle M4 bandolier as a bailout bag. I attached an IFAK to the main strap and it is was easy to sling when needed. 4 AR mags and two Glock mags in a small clean package. Our bail out bags became a 5L camera style bag that had two AR mag pockets, and three pistol mag pockets. Had room for an IFAK, water, flashlight and some skittles. Great video as always senor.

I worked with some 5th Grp guys out of Camp Justice. The team Daddy was a good dude.

More good stuff from a been there, done that guy. I have been using a 5.11 messenger bag for this purpose and some EDC work. It goes on easily once you get the strap adjusted to your preference, isn't bulky unless you stuff it full of crap, and still supports all my needs in regard to ammo, food and water, medical needs, some snivel gear, and even admin requirements. It isn't " low profile " but doesn't scream military ops either. It also allows me to throw a patrol type pack on if required.

Excellent video, Jeff. DOL

I think the micro chest rig was born out of this concept, it's small hold all you need for a gun fight +- and is easy to put on and is small to store close in a car or other spaces.

I really like small/medium Timbuktu messenger bags. they were super common about 15 years ago commonly used with cyclists & urban types, so they are extremely low profile, but fit a PDW APC9k, magazines and a little extra gear well.

I used something similar in '04-'05 Iraq. Spec-ops gear buttpack with a 2 quart canteen sling. It worked. I prefer a small pack. Much more comfortable to tote over longer distance. Thank you for the awesome video!

Wasn't expecting a vid this morning, can't wait to watch!

You are one of the few people I’ve seen make a video on this. I was fortunate to receive some first hand knowledge on this concept from some former SAS and Canadians contractors. Thanks for the detailed video!

Jeff, thanks for an excellent breakdown of this topic.

In my admittedly limited experience i always found the claymore bag to be ideal in this role.

Thanks for the history on the BOB. When I was prepping to deploy, from Bragg in early ’06, Some buddies and I ran into a 3rd group guy at the old TAG gear store who had just returned from the sandbox. He told us about the BOB concept. He was speaking from personal experience. We all bought little TAG Gear bags that day and took them everywhere. I never had to use it professionally, but it was nice knowing it was there. Still keep a civy version in all my vehicles to this day.

Another think out of the box video. Im grateful for the content, i have never seen this concept. Thanks for sharing with us all.

A lot of hidden gems in this video!!! Thanks

Great video full of valuable information as always, sir. Thank you 🫡

Another great video with highly informative content, first hand, based on years of experience from a SOF veteran. Not trying to sell anything, just sharing extremely valuable information. Thank you so much, I am incredibly grateful for your generosity. 🙏

first one I remember having was 06 or 07 don't remember who made it long thin rectangle, mags on the outside, three outside pockets single sling bag. Fit in the gaps by Humvee doors or around the turret. Pretty useful when the only answer is off thw x. *edit found it Hazard 4 Evac or plan c

Smart video highlighting immediate critical priorities that will determine the outcome vs how many protein bars di you pack with you. Sure would like to hear more on the UMP 45 experience as not many out there have actual real world use of them to share. The 45 is just something you almost never hear about anymore but I sure love the caliber still still. Thanks for the great content!

I’ve watched this so many times, such good, and cool information. Thank you Jeff🙏🏼

5:45 ooooh i like that beretta action

Great video, Jeff. I especially liked the info on how to stow this stuff in a vehicle so it's out of the way and still immediately accessible. This was useful.

Good stuff as always, Jeff.

Wow awesome bag sir 👏. Hope to see u review various heavier arsenal u used during ya Army SF times. 😉

this is a great idea. and doesnt require new kit- those micro rigs that are no longer in vogue can easily be turned into a sling by removing a harness strap.

Great info. Thanks for sharing it.

I really like the Eagle Industries response sling bag. It’s faster to put on than a chest rig or pack. Great video as always.

Thanks, solid practical advice. Like the bungee cord idea.

I just love how simple and to the point your vids are, Jeff. Also the fact that the logic you employ in procedures is almost to a tee what I would or actually do. I use a Sweedish Snigel Design Funny pack (not a grammatical mistake, that's its real name), for exactly that purpose. Great vid, always a pleasure to watch your work, Jeff.

We had those shitty ACU bags with the mag pouches on the outside in our vehicles set up as grab and go. Had extra mags(obviously) with some food, water and medical. My RTO had the shit paper and a spare radio battery in his. Highly recommend something like this stuffed under your seat or in my case the toolbox of my truck.

Great Video as always Jeff. I've been using a North Face Borealis sling pack as mine for quite a while. they come in a variety of colors, so It doesn't necessarily look tactical. They also have a side elastic pouch that's the perfect size for a single 5.56 mag.

Great video!

Great info! Thanks!

Excellent info, thanks

This is right where my head has been lately. I’ve been turning the world upside down trying to find a low profile bag with zero tactical flair. I’ll do two and send one for you to check out. I’m looking to present as a harmless hippy type at a glance.

Got practical stuff. Do agree that a single strap bag is the way to go. Have sewn velcro inside a bag before and it works well to secure mag pouches.

Great video

Platatac advanced fte bag: 3x 40ers(zipper pocket), IFAK and survival kit.

Another great one. I learned a new way to stow my man purse while I drive. Thank you.

Enjoying your content and subbed. Go Army!

This man is the real deal!! No Larping! He lived it.

Thank you for another great video!

Thanks for sharing this with us! Really enjoyed watching a professional grade demonstration of skill and technique! ✌️👍👍🤝🫡🎯💯👊

A channel that’s not trying to shove a product (sponsored brand) down your throat. Situation based, purpose driven by experience. Coming from a guy from best group out there, by far.

Leave a backpack with as much slack in the shoulder straps as possible and you can then sling it cross body wearing just one of the straps. Swings around to your front just as easily and when you want to go distance, use both straps and keep it in your back.

Good advice and great topic.

Algorithm bump. Love the vids!

I'm just a regular guy but couldn't help but mention opsec. In about the 3 minute mark the license plate of that truck was shown. With the work that you have done I think it would be a better idea to not give out any info that would make it easier to find you. Having dealt personally with evil in my life I try to stay gray as I can. Thank you for your service and thank you for your continued support!

Yes sir, excellent content..I use a buttpack with a G.P. sling..Vince g 11b Infantry

Great info! If you are willing to accept the tradeoffs of messenger type bags (regarding weight limitations and comfort) then procedurally an even better approach when in a known combat zone might be having the bag already strapped to you and riding in your lap, with your seatbelt over top of it (if wearing one). It's much safer to take the time to administratively take the bag off when you exit the vehicle if you DON'T need it than it is to put the bag on under fire when you do, and it's a PITA but so is carrying a full sized CCW, but sometimes that's the price one pays to avoid complacency. That doesn't necessarily apply to civilian life of course as it would be a zeroth to once in a lifetime situation for most people, and so training to quickly don it upon exiting the vehicle is appropriate. The Maxpedition Sitka is a nice bag for this application because it's already designed to rotate around to the front, so it's trivial to transition from on foot (with the bag on your back) to riding in vehicles (with the bag rotated around to your front) and much more convenient to scramble with than a messenger bag, but the same practical weight limitations apply; anything over 10-12 lbs is not going to be comfortable for long periods of time. The two slip pockets on the interior accept a 3 AR mag shingle and 2 AR mag shingle for a total of 5 flat up against the back of the bag without intruding much into the volume of the pack (this is a clone, but you get the idea: i.imgur.com/j8Kj77t.jpeg ). It also conveniently carries a bottle of water, an IFAK, some minor bits and bobs you have to access regularly (bug spray, sunscreen, clif bars, headlamp, radio / batteries, water purification, poncho). While this screams tactical relative to waxed canvas, so does the rifle one is holding, so that may not be a showstopper depending on your application and environment.

Great point and thanks.

Good stuff. You gotta have another watch review soon!

good stuff. thx.

I happened to find a large dump pouch that would work here. It's MOLLE attachable to anything or anything to it, can be used as a satchel (lengthy padded strap included, and it even has a large device pocket with a foam pad. It's pretty much unobtanium everywhere I've looked, and believe me I've looked for another one. Sold as XL dump pouch, if you find one trust me you should grab it.

I had a Suarez International Terrorist Interdiction Bag that was stolen when my house was robbed I miss that thing it was perfect for this application

reminds me of Paul Howe's claymore bag

I contracted in Iraq from 2005-2011. Many used the DBT bail out bags, I always thought they were too big and heavy when loaded, because people loaded them to the brim :) Personally I used the Maxpedition Fat Boy Versipack and later on a more satchel style bag with no manufacturer markings that the ATS shop in the IZ had in a bargain bin. Those were great times to roll around low profile.

I just ordered a pretty barebones single strap bag for basically this purpose just a bit ago. I'll probably diy some molle or something on it so i can put a couple mag pouches on it in the future.

Another great video Jeff. The go bag over the shoulder feels very much like the movie HEAT. Let me know when the heist is, I'm in.

Thanks Jeff! This dirty civilian appreciates your instruction.

Hell yes

The affordable Condor E&E sling/messenger bag is good for this role. Plus if you configure it correctly, you ar15 mags wont be visible.

Budget option: I have 2 different husky tool bags that have a heavy zipper you can rip open and interior pockets and elastic that fit pmags perfectly.

I love my 5.11 bail out bag

I am the X.

Nifty

Another great video Jeff! My Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack has been serving this role for at least 10 years (pistol). Living in CT, a rifle in my truck or car is unusual unless going to the range so focusing on proficiency with my carry gun and go bag. Maybe tell us how you secure your weapons in your vehicles if you must leave them? I use a Vaultek attached to my seat frame. I only consider it good in a “smash and grab” and not a determined thief. Thanks! David E., old 3-gunner and IDPA guy.

Could you do a video detailing your knowledge of CIF/CRF? I've heard you refer to this unit several times, but I can only find generic info about them online. I'd like to hear more about their selection, training, operations, and preferred equipment.

New follower here. Thank you for sharing your wild range of knowledge brother. 🤙🤙 also your music on videos and shorts is fucking dope.

I really liked your tactical/administrative reload (whatever you wanna call it) with the pistol, comparing speeds with mag retention vs a dump pouch. Is it possible you can do that with a rifle sometime?

Now the krink looks more appealing.......

I'd like to propose a new acronym, G.O.A.T. S. bag (Get Out And Tacticallly Survive). All joking aside though, I recently changed civilian jobs, and downsided my work bag. I no longer need my "mill hatchet", my graders crayon, or a measuring tape. All I carry now is a med kit, sharpie, a "fixie knife", lunch, caffeine, and hydation.

The music at the beginning is Detox by Karl Casey (White Bat Audio).

I keep more than one would think in a small fox tactical front hangin bag..

Informative video sir. Thank you very much. It was recommended by Pastor Joe Fox (Viking Preparedness - Patreon) I'm now subscribed. Carry on. Shalom👍🙏👍

Not trying to pretend like I know everything, but maybe swap that frag for a smoke? If you have to spend a few extra seconds on the X to help a teammate get out, or bailing out on the threat side is the only option, having something to obscure your actions might be pretty valuable.

UMP 45 VS various AK and PKMs...... Big Big Ballz!!!

45acp...nice.❤

Bailout bag, aka: Chicago bag

Amazing video. One question: when you ran an MP5, did you ever use one of the Surefire light friends (aka Surefire 628)? If so/not, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

To be honest, even some midnight LARPing is still better than no training, especially with things like quick grab the bug out bag. The point stands - training is key.

What was that sub gun chambered in Jeff..? And did you ever use the 10mm h/k..?

Maybe you could do a video on the ideal modern loadout for the contractor job you used to do. Perhaps 300 blackout would have been better than the SMGs you used to carry
