I learned the lesson about glasses during basic. Tripped in a pot hole in the rain, glasses came off, the guy in front of me Sasquatch footed them into the asphalt. Ever since I carry 3 back ups. My spree of bad luck has happened a few times during FTX. Thankfully optometry likes me and still orders them lol

Literally only brought 1 pair to Iraq in 08, felt so stupid, I didn't mean to I actually forgot my boot camp BCG's, which we're gonna be my backups. By the end of the deployment, the frames were completely broken in multiple places (my friend helped me strip some wires we found and put them back together with copper every time they broke, by the time I got back my frames were practically copper wire frames) the lenses, well they were so scratched to sht they looked fogged. When I got back, I put in for eye surgery... My eyesight was 20/150 in both eyes and I got approved for PRK because my stigmatism was so bad, so I couldn't get Lasik (I actually don't recommend Lasik at all though, that flap can become a huge problem if it ever separates). At one point after surgery I was 20/15 in one eye and 20/20 in the other, these days my eyesight has faded at 34 yo.. I'm like 2/40-50 in both eyes depending on the day, and my night sight isn't so good... I definitely recommend surgery if you can get approved for it. And tbh since he's still in, he should definitely put in to have corrective, do it on the governments dime.

Definitely echo the whole "goretex boot is great until it isn't", as out of fashion as they are, using hot weather AR670-1 or similar combat boots is pretty great for swamp/bog. Especially gathering water in the night under NODs at DARC, the ground is deceptively "hard"

Man I love your content and your constant blending of ultralight backpacking community with the tacticool. I started out doing backpacking then got really into the 🔫🔫. Got any suggestions for carrying something like a pcc or sbr type gun behind your back like in a backpack rifle scabbard? My idea is that if I want to be more discreet and have a rifle on me without it being seen I can keep it stowed until I need it, kinda more low key and under the radar that way I feel like if people see me.

Always well done! I thought your water setup was genius! I can't imagine how the school improve upon it! You said anyone can go to the class. Could your wife pass it? I always took my mosquito head net to the field! I also, always carried my field jacket liner for that little bit of extra warmth in the morning/evening and it makes an amazing field pillow! It seems like gear evolves to cover every situation. You end up carrying something you needed once when you didn't have it then end up carrying it and rarely use it. A ton of gear falls into this category...

@PreparedAirman Жыл бұрын

I would definitely recommend it. And yes, my wife would be able to make it through. Although my wife is a Combat Veteran, that may be a little biased. I would say a good prerequisite class for folks that are brand new to this stuff is any carbine class.

@PreparedAirman Ай бұрын

Yeah.. no kidding, it's loud when it's new... that's why you're supposed to throw it in the dryer, drag it the dirt, and actually use it to wear it in. Anything new is that way, shoes, pants, sleeping bags and backpacks. it's the same with any camouflage item. The more you use it, the better it gets.

@spoke1183 Ай бұрын

@@PreparedAirman I get that to a point. But the product you take to a battle should be ready to go from the reputable manufacturer. I should not be wearing something for 2 months, dragging in through the dirt for miles and washing 50 times for it to work as intended. When you buy quality shoes they don't squeak for days or weeks do they? They might be stiff and uncomfortable for few days or a week but they dont sing, unless you have been buying shoes from a Chinese fee market. I dono what kind of pants you buy that that make noise even when you first put them on. I never had a pant i need to break in lol. That like you buying an optic but you need to shoot 5000 rounds before the red dot can turn on and start functioning. This product by beez combat makes zero sense. In fact should be illegal or filed a lawsuit against this product if this is whats advertised or contracted to the military. That fucking thing is worse then a 100 gallon bag full of dry leafs and you're signaling a space ship with how much noise its producing.

@hybridprepper Жыл бұрын

Hi man, great video, excellent information, great idea to focus on the weight of the equipment even if it is mission or military style exercises. We know in general that ultralighters carry little weight or essential equipment because this helps to cover many kilometres, my question is: how many kilometers can you cover per day during a patrol exercise?

@PreparedAirman Жыл бұрын

It honestly depends. Patroling is different than walking, and rucking is then hiking. Terrain and water availability would be a big factor. Along with your physical fitness abilities. Probably between 10 and 30 miles is an average number for me.

@hybridprepper Жыл бұрын

@@PreparedAirman thanks for the answer, in Italy we have a specialized group called "Alpini" they equip themselves with a backpack that weighs empty between 3 and 4 kilos, including all the equipment, it reaches 30 sometimes even 40 kilos, I hardly believe that can travel long distances with this load, even if military training is very different from civilian training. I personally tried a 130 km long mountain route with a 20 kilo backpack and failed, so the topic is of great interest to me. thanks

But what part of.ur sleep system specifically would u bring in ur assault pack. I carry both and I always question what all I should bring lol. I've brought ammo knee pads cleaning kit with a cleaning rod ifak with foot care and bug spray poncho eye pro, binos, and extra socks. But sometimes I'm like should I bring a poncho and a woobie, should I bring a stove with a pot, should I bring gortex also or just a poncho. Should u bring the binos and knee pads or is it a waste of room. It's hard being a civie and having room to make ur own decisions.

With the Panobridge Mk2+s you have the ability to decide how tight you one the tolerances to be. When my family and I are enjoying them like stargazing I will loosen them up to make the adjustments easier for me or my kids.
