I feel intense discrimination against AK users here.

So glad you made this video. Good stuff.

Man sees new Spiritus Systems video, man clicks new Spititus Systems video. Man happy.

By day 2 of TUSC everyone is carrying less than 1/2 the stuff they packed. It's still good to bring everything on the packing list, it lets you test your gear and realize that carrying a 50+# pack through Truth Island isn't sustainable for most folks.

Gaiters were helpful. The best thing I did before hand was pre sliced smoked sausages and made snack kits for each day that stayed in my chest rig. Small packs of almond butter and trail mix were life savers and kept the energy up. LMNT packs in my water made it much more pleasant to drink also. I found that most of the “stuff” I thought I needed never got used. We learned to use our skill sets and make do instead of relying on gadgets.

I attended tusc in June of 21 and the best advice really is to bring what you have. I had a lot of equipment that wasn't perfect going into the class. Throughout the class I learned what I liked and didn't like about what I had, and I got to look at what other students were using and got their feedback during the class. It really helped me prioritize and purchase the right tools when I got back home.

The most reasonable and realistic list of gear you need to take to a survival/tactical training I've ever seen/heard. "That one you have is perfectly fine" - you don't hear that very often. Great way to teach and train people, let them use what they already have, like or can buy inexpensive. Congratulations Adam!

My jerky cookbook (I didn’t write it, one i bought with my dehydrator off of amazon) has an entire section of mason jar dehydrated meals to make. Just a thought for your audience

I wish i would have brought lightweight waterproof gators when i went through. They would have helped keep my pants and socks dry from rain or dew. Just preference through.

That is a hell of a microphone. Audio is amazing. Especially in that wind. WOW!

Thanks for telling us about the Fjallraven Keb trousers. I've seen those pants in a few of your videos as well as a few other guntubers and thought they looked sick.

Lived in Arkansas most of my life and had no idea DARC even existed there. Gonna have to take some leave time to knock out a few courses.

I like the emphasis on hydration and filtration. This is often overlooked and it’s arguably the most critically important topic. Hydration is paramount.

lot of great info here thanks Adam

Ooooh doggie I can’t wait to watch this while “working” today

Cheers for the updates cobber.!

I haven’t taken TUSC (yet🤞🏻), but I was born and spent the first twenty two and three quarter years of my life in that area, here are a few things I would say about doing anything in that part of the country, including something like TUS: 1: The heat. No one seems to associate Arkansas with heat. That is a potentially deadly piece of ignorance. I’ve seen 113 degrees in the shade, 100-110 is not uncommon, with high humidity. 2: Find a way to keep your ass clean. Heat and bad hygiene will make you wish for death. 3: prevent heat rash, whatever you have to do. 4: Watch where you put your hands and feet. There are a lot of venomous snakes and spiders native to that area. Also, fire ants. Watch out for their mounds, you do NOT want to lay down on them. Trust me.

Lots of good info here, definitely looking forward to going at some point.

Very informative video once again!

Can't wait for my turn!

i find out that portioned honey is great - one you get at restaurant with tea those super small packs, grape sugar, nut bar in honey, chocholate, dryed meat, any nut butter, most of these have big amount of calories and does not take much space and are light and i find out that best are 0,5-1 L pet bottles ... u can have one in pocket, carry system, few in small bag few in large bag if you manage to destroy it - nothin happens and if do not need it just crunch it down to have small to none size, fishing line is great as well instead of paracord, smaller lighter, thermarest type mats are sub optimal watter tends to stuck inside those dents

This is the sickest intro

Fantastic, sir

I'm hoping we get to see these long form videos twice a month atleast

this is the best youtube video ever

Hope to sign up. Its a matter of time and scheduling for me. Thank you.

Love this

Great content thanks for the video !

I’m so pumped for the September DM TUSC

great video

I really wish I would have known about this when I was recruiting in Arkansas

disco32 also sells great PTT's to work with Peltors, etc...

I shouldve brought less food and more electrolyte packets

This is very good, does the original video still exist, having trouble finding it?

I was at the Sept ‘23 TUSC. I took the Haley Strategic flatpack as a day pack. That was WAY too small. Less clothing more snacks.

Could the next video be a preview of the course ? What are the requirements to join it and cost ? Do you have to be American to join the course, can European join ?

Dress code is: Clear and Present Danger; John Clark

Pre-Workout powder mix for caffeine

As a 41 year diabetic diagnosed in at the time was West Germany, I will be taking over the Lilly Production plant securing my future and establishing an economic trade system during the collapse. Need hostages may be a regrettable requirement.

Even though this is a kit breakdown for a specific course, no one does kit breakdown's better than Spriritus. Thanks, Adam and the team.

So for the weapon and food part what are our options if we are flying in to the states from out of country

Aye 🤘🏻😎

SAR we always had tuna, peanut butter, beef sticks, and some sort of candy for that sugar

I’ve been waiting for this video. You will see me in class one day. Great work gents!

As soon as you spot the Ute, it's obvious who is carrying it :D

Protein should be secondary to carbohydrates. Fuel to keep going over recovery especially over a few day course.

If you haven’t gone to tusc you need to get signed up asap. You don’t need more flat range rifle 101 classes. These 4 days will help you evolve into who you need to become to be an asset to your family and community. The crocs were legit my mvp piece of equipment for the class btw 😅

I actually really like making my own MREs

Curious - if the premise is to teach and prep others, would it make sense to pack in one of those dry fire / reset devices and a couple of dummy rounds for practicing reload, etc?

Can we get a daypack video? I feel like I struggle with what’s important. What should you plan to carry out of it besides water and a jacket? Is it better to have it roll up and stick inside the ruck or should it be rigid and attach to the ruck? Should it be low vis or camo?

Can you please list the source for the gear, makes it easy to find what I don't have

The E-tool comes in handy for digging a small pit for my sleep apnea machine. Gotta muffle the sound somehow.

Where to find price for class? I don’t see it on the website. Thanks in advance!

Excellent rundown Adam. One, perhaps dumb, question. You said that everything you bring has to fit inside the ruck, does that include the daypack? Thanks and keep doing what you are doing. Nate

MUST be M81 had me waiting for the "just kidding"... M81 BDU tops are about to get real scarce! lol

Can anyone explain how that Hill Ppl gear kit bag it set up? Can’t tell if he’s running insert in the concealed pistol pouch or if he’s running it over top another chest rig. 6:55

What if you have a 300blk weapon? Do you guys still have the simbolt assembly for it? I’m assuming yes because it’s still 556 casing but I gotta ask

Should I bring narcan?

Which lightweight tarp are you utilizing?

Where can I find the family provision meals?

@SpiritusSystems: What watch is that?

I’m bringing a lever action 😮‍💨

When is Spiritus going to design a rucksack?

Wow

Let’s go 🤌

Some practical advice! I watch these videos so I can ditch gear not to add more!

What are the iron sights on your AR rifles in the video? Great video!

Will TUSC teach me how to talk to girls?

The Meemaw thing was dark af. lol

I’ve heard things like small footprint electronics should survive EMP/HEMPs but practicing with iron sights is never a bad idea.

Can you use airsoft guns under special circumstances as long as they maintain that 30rd capacity for 10 mags?

whats that bdu/acu you're wearing

Awesome video, could someone explain the camo requirements. We’re in the woods with weapons, helmets, NV, thermal, and sustainment gear but no multicam?

@10:10 - "Gypsy Camp"... I said it. I know that was hard for you to dodge, Adam.

Dumb question but anyone know if you can check or carry on Jetboil fuel on a flight?

Cool stuff happens in Arkansas? I never knew

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I'm curious to know about their camo philosophy. I bet it'd be super interesting...

Kit is no good unless you use it This guy emphasizes this and I so much appreciate it Imagine how silly it looks when people buy guitars and don’t play them Someone buying fine art brushes but don’t paint any master pieces to test their skill. This is no different and it’s high time this craft and trade is given the respect with our lives that it’s due.

Was that woolridge family provisions? I cant find the website. EDIT: I found their IG but not much on there for purchasing packs of food.

Does my AR need a birdcage flashider for a BFA device for blanks?

Permetherin infused outdoor clothing like insect shield or ExOfficio BugsAway.

What is the cost of the TUSC course?

Are civ's allowed to attend TUSC?

so g00n!!!

A good list for a bob

Just curious, why is M81 specifically necessary as opposed to other camouflage patterns?

SLNT waterproof faraday bags

How much does the TUSC 3 day course cost? I saw someone from spiritus post "around $1k" on a reddit thread is that accurate? Potentially interested.

South Idahoan and former SoCal resident high drag low speed pool guy here. Maybe I have a bad understanding of urban but this sounds more rural/sub rural to me. Can someone explain how this will help me in the city?

How much is this course?

lol what the hell? The dyneema bag you have for the boo boo kit. I found that same one on Etsy awhile back. The red cross is flaking on mine too

They just roasting a whole family line🤣🤣

My small community / neighborhood has come together over the past few years. It started with the two prepared minded guys who started going around the community right before the World Wide Time Out , 2019 , or first of 20 , passing out flyers about having a meeting about starting a Neighborhood Watch Group and so much more. Because Hell , no one was really sure how things were going to play out. So my wife and I are former military and Civilian Employee , U.S. Army. Wife was a Navy medical / surgical tech, 8 yrs. Then another 19 yrs Civilian ER Nurse.. I worked with 316 Bravo, Manheim, Germany for 3 1/2 years.. And 24 years , Civilian Employee for the Army , GS 12 Base Maintenance , Fort Hood Plus I was a Military Dependent all of my young days.. Bottom line , I think like a Grunt act like a Grunt and probably know more than a 20 year Mudd Rat.. My whole life has been Army , it's all I know and didn't have to join.😂 Anyway , we were the kind of people that they were looking for. And I had spoken to both of these guys off and on before that watch meeting.. So I already picked up the vibes from them and knew what they were all about without them saying anything.. So now it's been almost 4 years and we've got 73 Patriots from 15 to 76 years in age. Trained , Focused , Prepared and Strapped Up at all times.. Along with Wives and Daughters who are just as trained and meaner than Coon in a corner.👍 We've done training like your class on some locally closed/abandoned Government property that a group member was able to purchase back in 2014.. It's where our Range is located and I've been there 7 times , a week each time , for Urban Street , close quarter building , home , industrial / wearhouse training .. We go down there at least once or twice a month for a full day of training.. But being there for 5 to 7 days is great , because it keeps you focused and it also helps with learning to work together as a 2 ,3 8, 10 man team or 5 men , 2 females , a teenager and 2 little ones under 10.. We train like that , because anything can happen and change everything.. And it might happen so fast that you focused on who was closest to you and moved out.. You prepare and train for the things that you don't think about being prepared for.. The it (won't) happen to me kind of stuff.. One member always says : It's better to train and prepare for something that may not happen tomorrow. Than it would be to have something happen tomorrow that I wasn't prepared for today.. I trust everyone involved with the group. Because at some point it's been just myself and that person maybe one more.. But for 24 hours , it's just you and them.. And within that 24 hours , there's going to be 2 , 3 or 4 situations that are going to deliberately happen fast and unexpectedly . And you are going to need whoever you're with to be able to react to the situation with speed , focus and never forgetting that we abandon 🚫 NO ONE .🚫We're together till the last one is sent down range.. But that's how you get to know how they work and they get to know what you will do.. After it's done, you know how to work with each other.. I've gone on enough , I apologize for that.. I just love this stuff and my Country , my follow American Brother's and Sisters.. I don't care about your race , or what side of the Line you're from.. As long as you Love God ,Guns , the opposite Sex and bleed Red , White and Blue.. Then you're alright with me.🦅🇺🇲🦅

What brand is the titanium canteen?

Do rigs like the Nixieworks Lightfighter do well in this course?

How did you manage to store 4 ar mag in that HPG kit bag ? Mod ?

Does anyone know what it costs and what credentials we need to sign up??

Is the course open to civilians ?

How do i find that Cano water bottle?
