Please never get discouraged by the amount of views and keep uploading. I love your diy videos, your channel actually pushed me into getting my own sewing machine which I'm greatful for the amount of money I save prototyping my own gear. I know I will be bit cheeky but would you fancy doing any tutorial for inverted bandolier like the invrt one?
@thriftyoperator637 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I have fun making the videos and most of the stuff I film are projects I would make anyway so I doubt I’d stop any time soon. I’d have to look into those bandoliers. I’ll add it to the idea list

@@thriftyoperator637 I'm glad to hear that. If I can suggest instead of molle and pouches you could use retention for the mags like on the shingles but anyway keep up the good work.

Great advice! Yeah this channel deserves over 100,000 subscribers. This is living proof that many mega channels that got super big followings are fake, or manipulated and bought their way to become shills and influencers.

I already tinker a lot with guns. This was my next logical step. Of course before I launch into an ADHD fueled spiral looking up sewing. You are the first to pop up when I searched diy chest rigs. I’m going to give you a like and subscribe! Very informative for sure

Gotta be one of the most straight forward rigs and Tutorials I've seen. I've been trying some simple designs or modifying things I've seen here for about a month and I've given out probably 20-30 items to friends and randoms who are actually using them in training. Keep up the good work!

Glad I found this channel! Nice and simple chest rig, so many fresh ideas. If anyone is interested, grab some 1" and 1¹/²" tape. Makes MOLLE a lot easier to layout after measuring, and the tape keeps it all even and from moving around while sewing. Another awesome video that I'll be putting to good use. Im making a modular Yoke set up where I can swap out packs all while utilizing a battle/hunting belt and this chest rig will adapt perfectly. Well done sir!

Have you ever tried to do any laser cut style pals? like instead of using a laser to cut them, using a 1 inch leather slot punch or a hot knife and cutting out with a template? I am thinking about experimenting with it. I love your videos, you are 80% the reason why I got a heavy duty sewing machine.

@thriftyoperator637 2 жыл бұрын
How well this stuff wears usually depends on the quality of material. I usually buy off brand Velcro because it’s so much cheaper but it wears out faster. Just depends on how often you plan on making a new one. I make so much stuff I swap out my kit before I wear the old one out.
