It looks like somebody has to make a trip into Portland again.

“The constitution which seems to be no longer relevant” spoken like a true American in these times

its 2024 Pack* Accordingly

Balaclava should be in a few of those different sets. They’re small and essential for acting accordingly

wranglerstar stripped an AR faster than the ATF guy took the slide off a glock

Hilarious to field strip to turn an accessory screw :) killing me

Finally someone talks about the importance of hearing protection. Well done!

I know this doesn’t seem relevant but some basic food stuffs wouldn’t be a bad add along with some water

One very gucci gear supplier, which products I haven't seen you ever noticing, is Savotta from Finland. Highly recommend their stuff. Plain, simple and indestructable gear.

How the US Forest Service gets home when shtf

Cody Your set up is pretty awesome but I'd definitely throw a lock pick set in your set up and a hand cuff key as well 🇺🇸

How the US forest service goes zombie hunting.😂

My rattler is with me everywhere. Replaced my old Mk18’s with law folders.

I have a similar set up with a Kac 11.5 cqb but I included a g45 magnifier on a QD unity mount. The older I get the more I appreciate magnification. Great video

Well-done on the single-take! I really like the Battle Belt in a Bag concept. I'll need to look into slapping that together.

that's the loadout you need when you travel to meth zombie city (portland)

Regarding your short, no more Native European blood should be spilt, especially for overseas nose wars.

West Coast man breaks down entire rifle just to remove IR laser

a tourniquet should be much more accessible than in a bag, in a pouch, inside a backpack.

MK 262 77 grain BTHP gives the MK18 the fizz.

The shoe brand at 15:22 is Altra

Radio 💯 Ears and Eyes 💯 Only thing I would add is a set of light weight plates for your loved ones if they will be with you.

1 pc of kit I never leave home without is a good pr of binocs I've got 2 pr of 10x42 Vortex Fury rangefinder binocs. I'm constantly grabbing them along with my IFAK and go bag and making sure I've always got them in my vehicle SidexSide klr 650 or work car. A collapsible trecking pole is in ea vehicle as well, I used to think it was unnecessary but for their multitude of uses I've found them necessary to include as part of my kit.

Why not have the battle belt built with attachments prior to roadtrip? It will be too late to put together, if you need it

Love seeing that radio kit put to good use!

Oh man that Larue QD light mount is money. I will definitely be picking one of those up. I've been keeping a flat head on me for swapping my light around lol

Good video informative ...Here where I live in South Africa I have a electric fence 8 foot high around my house and a alarm system with a dog outside and 2 small dogs in the house ( best alarm) running a AR15 ( MP15 other stuff here are just to expensive) and Type 56 side folder always on standby.....

Great video! You and I have similar style, I also have a MK18 and Glock 19x. And Wranglerstar, you seem to be aging backwards. Well done!

Altra is a great brand shoe, flat sole, no heel lift, wide toe box.

Thank you for making practical and straight to the point content. There is so much value and lessons in your videos. You truly care. 👍🏻🇺🇸🥃

Nice set up! Wisconsin is going to be free for about 6 more months (we lost the Executive, Judicial and Legislature) mines a G17 with stream light and Griffin Armament Mk1 Patrol of course.

I purchased the same exact SOE Multicam Black duffel about 4 years ago and love that dang thing. John at SOE makes high quality bags and wish I had more of them. His bags will last you many years with their materials and craftsmanship. Well worth their price. I intend to order one of his cobra buckle carry belts soon as well.

I live in a place where I only need my keys, wallet and cell phone. Maybe a Swiss Army knife.

Building my first AR plan on spending $2000 for the main components with a 350 legend barrel for hunting and then another $5-600 on another barrel, what caliber should I do the second and what length (minimum 16in)?

Remember the time when they talked about the garden, axes, and repairing tools ?!? He has gone full on WOLVERINES !!!! 😂😂😂😂

Those kits make a great ensemble for all kinds of 2024 adventures. A small roll of duct tape and some wd-40 should have you set for almost anything unforeseen.

🇺🇸

Everything perfect except maybe a bottle of water?

Trip? Like a trip to the shops? I usually check for phone, wallet and keys…you take a semi automatic rifle with laser scope! God bless Murica!

I need to set up a kit like this

merino wool base layer might be a good idea to throw in cold weather gear, doesnt take up much room, lightweight, and can make a huge difference you, maybe even someone youre with in a situation that needs a little something extra

Lmao, he gets a lil more off his rocker every three months, but it makes the content so much better

I like how the night vision was the one thing in this pack that wasn't necessary, lol.

I like that vise set-up for rifle works. I like 20rnd too. but cant get any until i get a chance to trave from our state. only have 2. I have a evo scorpion suppressed pistol set up to truck bag with along with edc

This is how the US Forest Service doesn't become a statistic while traveling through Portland.

for the belt you should look into the VTAC Concealed Carry Battle Belt all pre set with pouches. might be a better setup for what you are doing.

We east coast men don't use them sissy semi automatics, we still use them good o'l muskets.

Thank you for sharing, I love that battle belt in a bag idea. i will be making one and tossing it in my bag. Have a Terrific Thursday

“The constitution… which no longer seems to be relevant” Ain’t that the truth brother.

Shoes are Lone Peak by Altra.

This videos I’ve seen of Portland and Oregon area in general are pretty wild. I’d be armed too

What scenario do you envision while traveling would you want a light ON your SBR? Same at home! Even if highly trained, walking anywhere at night, stalking with a light, puts a target on YOU. I’d like to see you go through 10 most likely adverse scenarios and train yourself and your family in each ten times by running them before you get yourself or someone in your audience killed. Otherwise, great gear.

I travel between Michigan and Florida 3-4 times a year in my truck. I only take my EDC Glock 26 with 2 spare mags as far as weaponry goes, and I bring a bugout bag with the basics for a breakdown. I've doing this for 6 years now and never had a incident where I had to unholster my Glock or even use anything in my bugout bag. Am I too complacent, do I need to bring more firepower?

The passive hearing protection is something I haven’t really seen anyone talk about before, with that being said I agree 100% imagine being in your home and sending a few rounds. How bad that could disorient you.

I watch a lot of your videos, considering how basic this one is, i have to say it was very helpful. The one take rush was great.

A lot of people are going to look at that fupa and assume you are armed.

love John's gear. It is hard to tell the quality from video but in hand.... simply impressive.

By no means am I an expert. I just spent some time in the military and have an interest in stuff like this so here are some tips. 1 the pistol mags on the plate carrier should be replaced with some rifles mags I would say keep the pistol mags if you had anything besides a mark 18 but the portability/mobility of that rifle will work for almost any circumstance (great choice) 2 you said you have wife or kids I don’t know what other stuff you have stashed in your truck or if you have supplies at home but maybe some food supplies for 2-3 days for one or two people would be worth investing in. 3 being said about the food more importantly you need water weather it’s a empty canteen or a full water filtration system you need something for water maybe a life straw or what I carry is an empty canteen and sawyer mini it’s worked before and very efficient 4 you need a flint and steel or some fire starting method but honestly nothing beat a flint and steel 5 lock picking set. Self explanatory 6 map of the area/compass or gps 7 cash in small bills I keep probably 1,000 in 5s 10s & 20s no larger bills In no way are these in order. The hearing protection is something I never thought of and will be adding to mine and I just want to say the radios are something most people forget (including me for a while) but good on you for adding it. But again I am no expert and overall your pack is very effective and light just wanted to give some lightweight tips that should help.

What reddot and mount is used on the large pewpew?

lol..... Im pressed for time.... *takes rifle completely apart for 1 external screw*

Good stuff. One question: how long does it take you to transition into wearing that gear?

Thanks for the video you reminded me to recharge my radios

Bro I came across this channel in the Cole forge days. Amazing you are still going and I still love the content!

How the US Forest service goes grocery shopping.

I would add an ankle strap backup and also a scout carry knife.

Man I love the guns and gear vids from you!

Love this feel of the video. Love seeing you happy about making videos. Thanks for sharing. God Bless brother.

I just recently bought a "fupa" and i love it

If S hits the fan, I'm not going anywhere. Still wondering why the rifle in the vise and disassembly was necessary for that one regular tip screw.

A boy and his toys! Not sure where he’s going, but I personally avoid such places. “Laser designator….” Calling in the Predators?

Great setup. Some might want to consider additional rifle mags in lieu of additional pistol mags. The pistol is the emergency reload for the rifle. Act accordingly.

A camo baklava may be good to have as well

Savior equipment coffin rifle case. Carry full length rifle, has flip down divider and battle belt Velcros in. Can fit in case with mags in rifle and pistol mag tacos, med kit plus TQ and SIG 226. My belt is the two belt system, always wear my inner belt so unzip case rip off battle belt and attach. Grab rifle lock n load.

Exactly the video I’ve been wanting to see

My ONE recommendation to you and the PROhO community would be to use the M81 woodland camouflage pattern. It's pretty much the ONLY pattern that the alphabet bois aren't running. It's a great way to PID people. People are in love with their multicam pattern but, it's also what Gov agencies are using. Act accordingly. God speed.

Ok ok ok. Field strip the rifle just to remove a screw. We all know you’re the man

Those Mk 18’s are beautiful. Such a versatile and dynamic rifle, and suitable to just about any situation.

I couldn’t help but notice at 3:25 when you flung the bolt of the Bcg outwards, if you can do that then I would replace the gas ring I also and a 20 round mag runner

If you're taking all that, why not take nods? It's probably more useful than some other stuff. Seeing in the dark is a superpower. Yeah it's expensive, but why own it and the supporting equipment for it if you don't have it with the rest of your kit? Also, might want to stage that belt. Love the overview man. Good stuff!

Am I the only one that would have just the AR on the bench to remove the laser , doing no disassembly? To each their own , may have been a better camera angle or something.

How many rails do you need? Wranglerstar: All of them. Make it all rail.

Lovely weapon systems. Although, what is your trigger time? Are you practicing the basic fundamentals often? Are you implementing your gear during range time? Are you preparing yourself?

From someone in Europe…what exactly are you expecting when you leave the house?

Im always encouraged to know there are capable men in my country. Im also comforted to know I am not alone in my pursuit of capability in dangerous situations.

I got worried for a minute. I saw all kinds of stuff for making holes but nothing to fix them I’m glad you have a a full med kit with the small pack to carry it

Pumping that SOE marketing.

Good stuff but way too many loose pieces. Most of those things should be attached to a piece of kit. And I wouldn't rely on Velcro alone to keep things on me.

Even with a single take, the lightning and filming is on point!

Love the pro 2a shtf videos because I do the same and like to compare setups and learn new configurations

East Coast Guys… just LOVE all of your little purses. Lol

Well, that was pretty cool. I'd say you're ready for any situation, Cody. All the best.

Thanks again for another informative video, good pointers and tips, I might suggest some sort of compact respirator? Can’t go anywhere if you can’t breathe.

Nice kit. My suggestion would be to add one field stripped MRE, plus 2 liters of fresh water. Yes, extra weight..but, if you end up in a bad situation which thar kit is built for, good sustenance is necessary.

Interesting. I think it's very hard for us 'folk' who live in Europe to understand the fearful preparedness required to live in Angola.

Seems like a pair of merino wool socks and long Johns would be a good addition to the cold weather kit.

Where did you get the upper receiver vise accessory? I’ve been looking for one that’s more hardy than the poly one I’ve been using these last 12 years.

Can we get a video of your night vision set up!! Seems super interesting

I like it can tell you put some time into it good thinking

Why did you opt for the plate carrier with plates vs a 360 degree coverage pistol vest?

I know there are a lot of variables, but what kind of range can you get with the Baofengs?
