    Haley Strategic flat pack. its an awesome back panel. collapses flat with nothing in it expands(with zippers) into a small day pack to carry whatever you need. Attaches with MOLLE and has a set of straps so it can be worn individually.

    Why the F*** didn't i see this before i spent @k on mine! I actually love this setup you have. I settled for a crapy med kit placement and a small cumber strap because I was impatient. Superb job on this build my friend as I have had a few now and appreciate a true functional build. Not a fan of carrying to much to be prepared for a miracle situation. 100's of hours of research and you have nailed it. Oh and your radio pouch looks Amazing!

    Dig it. I appreciate the GP "build", makes me feel a lot better about mine. Thoughts on a "tactical satchel/minuteman bag" as an addendum for more sustainment?
    Edit: TLDR, have you done a video on squaring away & packing a ruck(ish) style pack? That's my current adventure and am researching.

    • @EverydayCitizensTactical
      @EverydayCitizensTactical  Před rokem +8

      Satchels or half packs are a great way to have that “little extra” grab and go gear. Especially when it comes to medical.

    Great video! Everybody has their own take on things. I like slick carriers... you can throw your load on top and be good to go. If you run ALICE gear or FLC it can go over the slick, and slick can be removed for fast/light movements. What you demonstrate looks expensive: specific components to be compatible with that specific carrier. Just saying.

    16:31 from my experience I would tell you to put the knife on your non-dominant side because lets say u needed your dominant hand to protect your pistol from being stolen and your knife would be on the same side as the pistol you wouldn’t be able to use the knife

    Good vid. Don't personally agree with having a bladder on the carrier but having a frag pouch or two has definitely been useful for extra tqs, or bangers. I'm needing to get a dedicated pouch for my xts but I'm wanting something inside the cumberbund personally.

      Doesn’t matter much I don’t think. Armory is made to get you out of the situation not for continuous abuse. The only argument could be if the carrier was super bulky causing a larger profile for the person wearing it.

    • @EverydayCitizensTactical
      @EverydayCitizensTactical  Před rokem +4

      I would look in to the LBAC by HRT Tactical (which you can find on our website), which is specifically designed for heavier load outs and bearing weight. You may also want to look at the Assault Plate Carrier by Velocity. Both of these come in a L/XL size which accommodate the larger 11x14 plates, which I would imagine you’ll need given your size description.

You could get battle steel 3+ poly/ceramic plates that do the same thing as those hescos and actually stop 308.
