Love these one takes!!
Awesome video, always wanted a tutorial on this, will definitely come in handy for the next training exercises!
Glad you liked it.
Awesome Video with a Great Idea on how to keep chemlight handy! Bravo-Zulu!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great stuff! Keep it coming
More to come! Appreciate the support.
I like the video I hope you keep doing them! For your focusing problem earlier in the video. If you put your palm behind the object you want the camera to focus on it will usually focus quickly! Hope this helps
Thanks for the tip! I will try that next time.
Agree - great useful video...thanks mate!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic idea, good information😊😊
Hope it helped.
what is more better big glow stick or small glow stick asking for a friend
Totally average size glow stick bro trust me bro. It’s like totally average. -Bro
Bro, like yeah, BRO.. - Bro
Helpful information
A few things I forgot, but I covered most of it.
forge concepts makes a good utility hook with chem holder
This way works great. But good stuff.
Like the content. Btw good info is always better than high production, so i like the format very much.
Greetings from a fellow officer 😉 (non US though)
The goal is to get better at talking on camera. And video quality improvements.
NL!
I appreciate the video! What is your experience regarding the chem lights no longer working (glowing) after being taken out of their packaging for a prolonged time?
The sun and sunlight will degrade them over time yeah. They will not glow as bright. But it’s a months exposed thing not a days or weeks in my opinion. Most of the time that belt sits in storage. Not exposed to light.
@@SoileaterYT Thank you very much for the reply!
A very good video I have to say it because , this video gave me some really effective Information . It’s well made
Glad you liked it.
Nice video! Would you recommend ranger bands versus rubber bands? Or not really a big difference?
Ranger bands hold up a little better. Same with bicycle inner tubes, but they all fail after awhile. I’d use normal rubber bands and replace them every once and awhile.
fun fact, instead of rubber bands I often use cut up inner tubes :v they last a bit longer and can be cut to the size that you need
Yeah def a good option if you want something to last a little longer. I tend to use rubber bands because they are easier to break.
Hey, amazing video, I was wondering what color of the chemlight do you consider the best?
For me the color represents /mean different things. If you are looking for brightness, I’d go with green.
If you cant get metal landyards use a fishing lead!
Lots of options.
I use hair ties in place of rubber bands, they do the same thing and are tougher. Havent had an issue yet.
Yeah def. They def hold up better than rubber bands. I just use the bands for this task because I intend on breaking them as I deploy the chems
Nobody else has mentioned the difference between 4 and 6 inches... that's what she said!
It’s how you use them. 😭
So on your team you guys are throwing one glow stick in every room to show it’s clear? If so do you just throw it right inside the threshold?
Each cleared room gets a green Chen upon initial clear, and that Chen is moved to a specific spot on secondary clearance.
I was taught to keep ChemLights in their original packaging, they degrade quickly exposing them to UV light and heat. Thoughts?
They definitely degrade over time (not as bright), due to sun exposure. But that length of time depends on your environment and how often you are in the sun. I also use these at least monthly, usually weekly so they don’t degrade by the time they are used. You can increase this by removing them from your belt when on the range. Hope this helps.
Look up "one hundred concepts" for the best way to handle that
Cant they be reused?
Chemlights / glow sticks? No, they are a one time use.
Super-hooah
🇺🇸
Are they reusable?if yes how many times?
The wire loops are reusable if you don’t crimp them.
20 minute video about glowsticks...
Do you not like glow sticks?
@@SoileaterYThe prefers the glow sticks to chem lights.
Watched the entire thing.
Unfortunately made in China 😂
The metal cable? Could always use 550 cord if your 100% team USA.
