It refreshing to see dudes with real experience talk about the "why" behind their gear.
Right?
I just want to know what was so secret about that chem light
@@zacharyfox3022 Marking aliens
@@zacharyfox3022 Which chem light? The bunch hanging off his belt? They are used to mark things more so than as light sources to see. Different colors or IR would be used IAW SOP to mark cleared rooms, danger spots, IEDs, cleared paths around IEDs/mines etc, landing points, prsioners, WIA, hanging on some cord for a signalling buzz-saw etc. In short marking anything or anyone as required IAW SOP in the dark.
@@titaniumquarrion9838 17:26 he shows some other ones and says the he isn’t going to talk about what they’re for.
I carried a tomahawk in 2006ish, mostly to intimidate Iraqi’s, and someone complained. . Colonel told me I couldn’t carry my tomahawk, but then I told him it was an “extrication tool” to open windows for guys trapped in armored vehicles after an IED and then it was approved.
Exactly. Ours is used to open boxes.
The necessity of bureaucracy….
My knife is actually a glass breaker
Did same shit haha
,Its how things are couched to brass.. as long as you got that luv of Jesus luv of Jesus , good 2 go.
With everyone hyper-focused on streamlining and breathability it was interesting to hear someone hit the side plates. You don’t hear people mention them much.
First sof guy I heard who cared about it to. Different guys like Different things
What can I say? I like getting a second chance.
I'm not SOF, but I wore them for mounted ops when I was in the turret because my driver was an asshole and they saved my kidneys.
those are 6 inch plates there are also longer 8 inch side plates out there.
i prefer the 2 inch longer side plates. 🤷🏻♂️
@@arbyssauce LOL
Unqualified or not, driver's training is a joke in the Army. And yea you right, many drivers are quite assholes despite of TCs/VCs haha
You're telling me, str8 whippin the LMTV like as if it were my 240, Audi RS5, or homeboy's Porsche 991.1 GT3RS ;)
For a guy who doesnt like talkin abput his kit much he clearly put his ego aside and did an incredible job at describing everything. appreciated.
Do you think we could get a vid on how Fred sets up his recce rifles? Thanks for the video, this guy is a genuine stud. Knows his shit inside and out.
it would be sick to see a video like this from other Spiritus associates and/or other end users
Agreed.
What he said
Agreed!
Yup!
I think the most interesting aspect was using magnets for weapon retention on the shotgun. I don't think I've seen that elsewhere, but it's a pretty clever solution.
Dudes have been doing that for awhile
@@patagucci8482 hey I just wanted to let you know, this is what a lot of older guys do :) the younglings stay away from magnet retention because we have a lot more electronics that can be harmed by magnets.
@@rainbow_tactician also by the fact alot of receivers on newer shotguns are aluminum doesn't help the magnet either
I’ve ran Shotties on OPS and Patrols, but same for me - never seen/used magnets like that. Fucking dope
What shotgun lanyard is that? I’m not finding it
That was pretty fucking dope.
It was cool seeing those specific items you don’t normally see and hearing the “why” behind it. Super cool video!
This is the best video y’all have done
Anything with this guy in it is their best. This guy is legit and humble.
this was the best one. the way he beats around the bush is hilarious and he gave really great information.
Love this shake down series. Please keep them coming
Thank you!
I love this videos that they show us on how they set up their gear, hopefully there will be more this kind
It's nice to hear someone talk about gear they actually use, instead of tryhards just shilling whatever they're drop shipping that week or whoever's sponsoring them
More shakedowns please! I learned so much from seeing this kit.
Coming soon!
Boy, I enjoyed every minute of this video. He broke down his equipment and the purpose of it. Awesom content.
The longer videos are brilliant, please put out more content like this
Phenomenal video, my friend. Really appreciate the effort and detail that went into this--especially with respect to the teaching.
Excellent overview and the practical experience is invaluable. Thank you for your service. Listing each item was extremely valuable. Keep it up.
One of the best setup videos i have ever seen
I'm Australian so I don't generally watch these types of uploads but, DAMN, you're the real deal!! Total respect man.
Fred is the gun bunny we deserve
Great video. Nice to see equipment actually used, vs straight out of a box. Thanks for sharing your set up.
There's tons of guys doing videos on kit... this channel has a totally different vibe. Legit. Well done sir. I'm definitely subscribing to this channel.
Thanks for the breakdown of your kit, and for clarifying from the get go that it’s always subject to change for each mission/scenario. That probably can’t be stressed enough.
Vast amounts of wisdom in this video. Bravo.
too badass, too genuine. thank you, truly; watching this was a honor.
glad you enjoyed it
Educational content is always well received and appreciated
probably the best most thought out setup ive seen on youtube. loved this one and the way he explained everything. sick asf!
Best video yet need more like this.
This was AWESOME! Would love to see more! Thank you Spiritus!
Its really cool getting more input on actual practical uses of gear from people who have used it in the field, instead "I have this for if this happens but I have never actually used it"
You’re a very wise soul! Love the video, very detailed 😊
This was the most thorough and why it makes sense video I've seen. Its almost as if he's elevated himself beyond the shenanigannery of standard military life. Thank you sir for all you do.
Well done!!
This video has legitimately opened up accessibility and true purpose for those guys we take for granted. You guys have done a great job having Fred present all of this! Earned my Sub! Fred, great job and I also believe in side plates! Thanks for being that bump in the night to keep the bad guys away.
I have never been in the military, But I done and continue to do my part in other ways. I respect and thank you for what you do. Your knowledge and experience make you more valuable than 100 men. Thank you for helping the rest of us prepare and God Bless you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
I learned alot from this and got many more thoughts that id never had about my gear from this video very helpful and much appreciated
“Make humans more aero dynamic” best fucking statement ever.
I always referred to a knife as a carbon unit ventilating tool.
@Max Powers racist? How’s that racist?
This video is lit, thanks for putting out good content.
Side plates, right on! I had a friend took a trans-pelvic shot, actually above the pelvic girdle went right through left to right--if he had kept his side plates on he would have been spared a ton of surgery and months of grief. Haven't talked to him in years but I'm sure he'd be first to say" SIDE PLATES, DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM.
16:30 love my Spiritus side armor bags. The offset molle is a stroke of genius, and highlights why end-users should always be included in the design process. I have a JPC 2.0 with MOS Tactical cummerbund with First Spear tubes system, and I have perfect butting of side plates to front plate without interference of dawning & doffing. They shipped fast too! Highly recommend them!👌
This is my favorite video! I watch it evertime I see it. Wish I was a badass!!!!
Always cracked me up how we would have our kit set up and then they would bring a bag of “force multiplier gear” that we needed to carry with us on ops that would fuck the whole thing up. Love seeing a combat kit and not another basement setup👌🏻
Thanks for this professional point of view. 🤜🤛
Great set-up. Lots of information I never knew.
This was amazing! Thank you for the explanations.
I've rewatched this video so many times...
Good explanation of why as to carrying a handgun. It’s not just a backup. It has its own use cases that make it superior to a rifle/carbine.
Great vid overall, thanks.
Plate carrier is not boring. Really intricate and purpose driven.
Not only the gear is all well thought, the humor is sharp as well 😂
Awesome breakdown
I would totally love to see a video of you wearing that belt and utilize the tomahawk!! Super rad
Totally agree on use of that BUMP helmets.. I used 2 for boat-ops when pacing and lifted out of the water while keeping speed, and when doing our parachute jumps. When you are going to a unfriendly environment, you really wants some protection.
Couldn't agree more.
I’ve seen a lot of “setups” on CZcams of special forces guys but nothing as real as this -“pens” kids really loves pens, or marking foreheads, or that blindfold with little bag to store their items” also loved the small details like the cloth wipe… I’m only doing airsoft but I got alot of inspiration from this kit. Thank you! It was deep.
Great video thank you for your service!
Awesome, thank you for those nuggets!
Maybe „Recce Rifle Setup“ next ;) ?
Appreciate your guys‘s effort!
God Bless you guys! Thank you!
The key reason why I watch these videos is to get different ideas and see different opinions and preferences of kit. What I run is what I run, but I’m no smooth operator. If there’s a different way to run my stuff that ends up being better than what I had before, I see that as a win.
this is a scary man who does scary things. thanks for your time. much cool gear
The magnet mount for your shotgun had me thinking of 40k maglocks, really cool idea and utilization.
It's cool seeing guys like this, often team guys and special operations guys are very smart operationally and good with guns but it's very rare to find the guys who are also super serious about every single piece of equipment they carry. It's great seeing a guy who clearly cares about his kit and doesn't just carry what he's issued. You can tell everything has a purpose amd nothing is there that doesn't belong.
That is also the coolest helmet i have ever seen
I was gifted a tomahawk by some rangers needing to dispose of a pallet or so. Never actually thought about carrying it on my kit until seeing this and reading some of the comments. It’d be an amazing extrication tool as a medic.
We need a video for a designated medical loadout. That a Corpsman or medic would rock
Much respect, stay safe.
“Perforating humans” was my favorite phrase 😆
Amazing, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your knowledge.
Outstanding
Always love learning what other hitters run you can have 20 different guys and 20 different base setups. I remember following an SOP and then altering and augmenting kit to fit the mission parameters. I also remember being a dumb shit private and packing 20 pounds of there's a pouch I must fill it shit on me until I got some of the green know it all ground out of me.
You secondary retention strap for your pistol is a great idea. Wasn't able to see much of it. It must be elastic, braided cordage wrapped around the belt. With a smaller loop that goes around the pistol grip.
Having served in a NG units 1984-1994; your gear (created and used in combat during a different era) is about as far removed from what was available when I served as possible. I feel like a ancient caveman compared to your kit. Great video.
I started out on the Y-harness... Made leaps-and-bounds since.
Gotta love the elite personal in the US military. Showing all the pokey things and talking about dispatching humans to "this pouch is for pens, kids love pens over there" love it!
Thanks for the info on where to mount my CBRN extension when not in use
Excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍
That calm professionalism that’s very very scary…
I wasn't in the Military myself my Father, Grandfather, Uncles and Brother were. My Father and Grandfather were in battle they didn't speak to us a whole lot about what they seen or did but my dad carried his P-38 on his key chain till he died and a pocket knife with a few tools on it like a hole punch and a couple of blades with a loop to secure it to whatever. Now it seems people want to know what everyone carries whether they're bush crafters or ex-military. For those of us that didn't have to live out of vehicles, tents or sleep under the stars I guess finding out what all of you used the most is a good start for preparing ourselves for a time when we have to "bail out" during a collapse of our society. I can only hope that we will still be surrounded by our Brothers and Sisters still and find that "prepping" was all for nothing but to some of us I think that wanting to know what you went through means more. That we want to know what you went through and grow stronger together. In the hopes that "power to the people" still means something to my children I want them to be more prepared than I am or was to face adversity and triumph against it as our ancestors have so many times. Somehow they rose to the occasion even if they didn't have everything nailed down before hand. Thanks for sharing the tools/kit/gear that you chose to carry being there was more than one of you there's a good chance somebody thought to carry something you didn't. I enjoy the videos nice job!
This is great we need more vids like this.
Awesome shit, great breakdown presentation! It's really cool to see how special operatives cram so many tools on such a small vest/belt. Thanks again for posting!!!!
Really appreciate you pointing out side plates. I have personally seen side plates save lives and I'm sure you have too. No idea why none of the instagram dudes wear them.
Because they are heavy... They don't realized carrying a injured or worst dead friend is heavier. Side plates work...
Great video. Greetings from Poland :)
You can tell this guy is a cut above the other elite operators 👍🇺🇸
Fred is legit!
Great vid!
So much detail
Cool to see Ferro and SS gear in his setup
We're all on the same team.
@@cct_fred9400 well said
I feel like every other item or pouch involved bangers lol
Fred, thanks for showcasing your kit. Where can I bet a better look at that Tomahawk? Looks gnarly
It’s Winkler
ty for not claiming one kit to rule them all!!!!
Amazing breakdown. The magnet system is pretty cool. Is that totally custom or does somebody sell that?
Its a tactical assault gear product.
Goddamn that tomahawk section and "perforating people" made me laugh wayyy too hard
Love the work and the humor mate
Really good info
Doesn’t the blacked out American flag also mean no quarter will be given? ie, no prisoners will be taken.
Algorithm brought me here. Shout out to Frog & Firkin. It is always a blast going down to Uni and seeing the girls!
Someone needs to make a CZcams series of experienced end users kit, what they use, how they set it up, what they use it for and why they use it.
We are!
@@SpiritusSystems Hell yeah!
Very interesting video.
Best part of the kit was his 'Frog shirt. Highly recommend.
im from tucson. awesome seeing him wear a frog and firkin shirt
The dude ran his gear and it shows!
He’s that guy pal, he’s that guy.
Awesome point about Syria and marking.
We ran into the same issue in Iraq in 2017. So many militias and different groups that ID became critical.
Ironically, the easiest way to differentiate between bad guys and good guys was who had long beards vs who didn't.
ISIS wasn't allowing their fighters to shave.
