Brooooo, that Mustache is legendary.
Don't speak of it unless it's asked for your opinion bro haha
Gay
It's fine that this guy gives you a hard on but no one cares.
@@HerbertHopkins799 sheesh we’ve came this far huh? Where complimenting another man on his mustache is now gay or me making a homosexual advance. Interesting. Have a good one.
It’s because people are homophobic. Or perhaps maybe they are gay and don’t even know it. Fuck it. people suck Anyways. Dudes def got a solid mustache
@12:24 "it's not being paranoid it's being ready"
Well said!👏🏻
Thanks for the comment!
Situational awareness is absolutely the best tool in the tool box. Just sit down and people watch for a while and you’ll see that very few people have it. Great advice, great video!!!
I completely agree man. Too many people have their faces buried in the phone. Thanks as always man.
@H K haha. You know this shouldn’t be funny but one day my older brother (who use to be my biggest bully said) “look at you now, I made you strong” and it really stuck. I’m glad I was bullied and fucked with by him, because I have risen from the victim (bullied) to one of the strong. Nobody bullies me anymore. My personal initiative and my desire to be strong is what got me out of that situation. God bless the strong. I couldn’t imagine the man I’d be if I didn’t go through what I have. I have pride in that!
@@teenagemand2362 hard times create strong man, good for you man! 💪
I wouldn't worry about it. If someone does something just overreact.
Alex, you guys nailed it again especially with the "don't have your face buried in your phone" situational awareness.
Situational awareness is key brother. Thank you as always for the comment Manny!
Alex
Been on my kids about situational awareness at 9 and they are pretty vigilant. I make it like a spy game for them to see what they can spot, little do they know I'm trainin em up
You can use that in reverse too. If you don’t want other people to notice you, staring at your phone helps.
I heard boot camp's now have therapist to help wean these kids off the iTit.
It’s absolutely the most important part of staying alive
Hi Alex & Matt! Great show guys & no:1 rule when you're in the field or out of your element is to be alert & aware of your surroundings. Right on mate. I'm 63 yrs old, retired and has always followed my training. Got hit once, reckon that's good odds but made sure the pert got jail time. Anyway ran into your segment by accident but now I'm your new sub & will follow for updates. Thank you guys, you brought back some GOOD TIMES memories. Stay safe & all the best in all endeavours. Greetings from Australia.
Thank you for your service and support brother. I completely agree about the necessity to stay alert. Best regards,
Alex
Great video boys, direct to the point and showing that just cause a certain gun or carry position might be trendy it doesn't mean you must follow it, do what's works for you! Loved it, stay safe guys!
Awesome to hear, thank you brother. I appreciate the support and comment man.
Alex
@@IronInfidel any info on the carbon fiber knives in this video?
Thank you for the Kore belt tip, had no idea something like this existed. Awesome video!
You bet Trevor. Thank you for viewing our content and leaving a comment! It is very helpful! More content coming soon man.
Alex
Kore belts are fantastic. After buying mine and wearing it for over a year I’ll probably never buy any other.
I wish I had friends like you guys if you lived in Miami. Train and become educated through you all. I spent 6 years plus being homeless around America. Learned quite a lot from how to move around people..to how to find cover if needed and building the confidence with sleeping in the streets of urban environments.. I wish you guys the ultimate best on your channel.
Thank you for the support brother. I appreciate it. I am glad you were able to take some positive out of your experiences.
Alex
The situational awareness is the best advice 100% just knowing where you are and parts of town to avoid if possible. Will prevent 99.9% of any issues you could encounter. Great video fellas
Thanks for the continued comments and support Sean. We notice and appreciate it a lot.
No it's not
Love your guys’ content. The fact that you guys cover appendix cover not being viable for everyone and suggest offbody carry options shows that you’re super realistic. I tell my friends living in California that can’t carry as easily that situational awareness is always gonna be key too
Thank you Steve. Yeah appendix is all the rage right now, but the reality is, it's not for everyone. Do what works for you man. Thank you for the support of our channel!
Alex
@@IronInfidel would you be willing to let me know where to find that carbon fiber spike at 4:15 video mark? I'd appreciate it.
@@Unjustified_Bot hey brother I believe Matt has them custom made. Hit him up @theoperationalathlete on IG. He should be opening pre orders this coming week.
@@IronInfidel thanks man. I appreciate the help.
EDC Pants are very important, too! Gives you a lot of options and potentially more comfort. Angled pockets, extra pockets that ride high so your shirt hides the clip, ect. I rock the Vertx Delta 2.1 and love everything about it. Discreet enough to blend in, great pocket locations.
I carry everything yall mentioned, but I also have a multitool and a glass/skull breaking pen. More comfort means more situational awareness.
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
thanks for sharing guys. heard a lot of good things about OC spray I carry one with me constantly. another good tool to consider for EDC
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
awesome vid and situational awareness is the best tool to always have with you.
Thanks Sean, we appreciate the comment!
4:04 that Toor knife is awesome
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Haven’t had time to watch your videos for a while. Glad I have some time to watch. Your style is enjoyable to watch.
Thank you man and welcome back to the channel!
Alex
Great video! Love edc items. It's super essential!
Thank you man! Much appreciated!
I can watch these two talk about the sunset for 2hours straight and I'll still be interested. Great content. That hand shake at 13:50 is all man beast mode 💪😎 you can tell alot about a man by the commitment he has in his hand shake.
Haha thanks for the reply brother. I apologize for the late reply. Thanks for the support!
Alex
Situational awareness is everything. Outside of Tampa I pulled into a gas station and getting out of the car realized I was on the edge of the ghetto. The boys loitering there were not churchgoers. My family was in the car and the high stakes made the situation serious. I went into high-alert and put my head on a swivel and noticed a “man” making a beeline for me from behind the pump. He looked exactly like you’re imagining. I jumped into my car and locked the door as he reached for the handle and yanked on it. Then I took off. If I hadn’t been actively scanning I never would have seen him coming. I had no training, it was a natural reaction, probably defensive prey instinct. I wasn’t prey that day, thankfully.
Thanks for sharing.
Good points. I prefer 3-4 o’clock carry simply because I am in my vehicle a lot and I can draw from there even with my seatbelt on. Also, the importance of your phone - not just to call for help, being able to put it on speaker with 911 while you deal with something/someone waiting for the cops, but taking pics of a suspicious person, vehcile, etc to share with LE if necessary, mapping, looking stuff up, etc but like you guys said never lose your SA. I also use the heck out of my non-weapon light because I seem to drop things under the seats of my truck and everywhere else you can imagine. The less time I am searching under my seat, the more time my head is up and on a swivel. Good stuff guys!
A bunch of excellent points made Josh. Thank you for the quality comment. Little things like that go a long way in helping our viewers become better protectors.
Alex
Definitely interesting to see what works for different people.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the content. Thank you for the comment!
Alex
Man, thank you for the note on anterior pelvic tilt. My wife has scoliosis and rods on her back and finding carry options for her has been a pain. For my I go appendix with anterior pelvic tilt because I have two messed up shoulders so other positions don't work. So for my a g19 is only a hoodie gun. Year round I gotta go LCR or Keltac 3at. Tried a g3c and a p365 and they're still too big for my appendix carry with the tilt. I feel recognized and understood by your comment haha
Haha funny enough I have a video specifically discussing anterior pelvic tilt and printing planned. I outlined it yesterday 🤣
Sounds like you and your wife need to buy health insurance instead of this tactical junk.
@@johndong7524you know just because someone has health issues doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to do things that make them feel happy or safe
Kore Essentials makes an awesome belt. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and I’m very happy with it.
Agreed. I've tried a few belts from other reputable brands, but non match the Kore. It's a great product.
Good comments gentlemen! Good advice by you gentlemen concerning
CCW. Thank you!👍😊🇺🇸
I appreciate you watching.
I’ve watched this video like a million times now and it’s still epic🔥
haha that's cool to hear. Thanks brother.
Alex
I'm all about 3-4 o'clock carry. I wish I could do appendix. At the end of day, it's situational awareness and being a hard target. Great vid guys! Hope I can pass it to my kids.
That is awesome to hear Dan. Sounds like you are a great father. I appreciate your support and comment.
How do you purchase the carbon fiber knives? Would like a link or some way to find more info. Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
I 100% agree with both of you on the situational awareness that you were talking about near the end of the video. So true. 75-80% of the population is not aware of what is going on around them. They are so consumed with their phones and tiktok and facebook. It's a good way to get hurt or killed. One thing to add, is your hearing. You can get alot of information from paying attention to the sounds around you too. Pay attention to what you are hearing. your hearing will actually get sharper by practicing this. Great video guys. Respect.
Paranoid much?
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
I carry a full size 1911 with light for over a decade now. Good belt and holster makes the difference. Never had a issue carrying every single day.
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Can post the link to your edc knives… especially the carbon fiber ones.
Keep posted
Yeah, Matt’s 2nd would be great to know. Tried a lot of fixed EDCs, haven’t found one with every feature I want. That one seems perfect.
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
I’m just happy to see he’s wearing Tissot T Touch connect solar. Cause I just got one!
Tissot's are all underrated especially for what you get with the T Touch solar at that price. Just wish they'd raise the water resist another 10 BAR'S to 200m.
@@designated_hitter_EGA agree!
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Love this video and that sleeve tattoo is sick🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching .
I like that chest pack idea
Yeah same with me. Much quicker access to a firearm. Thanks for the comment!
i take my entry exam for the police department soon, watching these types of videos gives me some sense of realization of how life is gonna be on and off duty. Looking forward to my journey. Wish me luck!!
Good luck brother
Hail ya good luck bro, just applied to my local PD
@@harry6651 appreciate that brother, best of luck to you as well
Good luck dude, i start the academy soon too.
God bless you always, all of you, for pursuing that career.. Thank you...
My wife carry’s a 9mm bodyguard I love shooting it super accurate and comfortable for the size of the gun and size of my hands
Nice man, glad you like it. The best firearm is the one you are comfortable with and willing to carry daily. Thank you for the support and comment.
Alex
Great video. There are so many videos where people talk about carrying ear buds and fidgets as EDC. This video was extremely practical, and I definitely think I'm gonna switch to the chest fanny pack thanks to this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, that is awesome feedback. We appreciate ya.
What brand/model is the chest fanny pack?
I’ve gone through a lot of edc’s. Bad back = g43, spare mag, llod sidecar. Love the llod holster. Last I’ll ever buy and it’s all together.
Nice. I've wondered how good they llod holsters are. I frequently watch his channel.
@@IronInfidel naturally, my vedder feels like a lighter footprint at 1 o’clock, but the llod spreads out the weight, is centered, and feels very stable. Over all, a wash, but you gain a spare mag, so a win in my opinion. Also, zero print with built in wedge. Cheers.
Some of the blades shown: Benchmade SOCP, Kershaw-Emerson, Cold Steel Recon 1, Toor Knives.
Cold Steel Recon 1 has been my carry for 12 years.
Do you know which knife is at 4:13
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
I wear the ratchet system belt as well
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Awesome video, 😀
Thanks for the visit
I like that shoutout @ 4:18 to Byron Rogers Protector Nation haha.

He means trash that's overthinking
Good stuff. Appreciate it 👍🏼
Thank you Geo! I am glad you enjoyed our vid. I appreciate the comments. It's super helpful.
Hey Alex, great content yet again; you haven't put out one video I haven't liked, keep up the awesome work! BTW, you didn't mention your edc Gator shades or watches, just curious if either you or Magnum P.I. own different watches or shades for different occasions?
Hey Simon! I pretty much always stick with gatorz unless shooting in low light, then I swap with clear lens ESS eye pro.
For a watch I'm pretty much always wearing the same. Its a first tactical.
My flashlight is a must because I use it for so many things including taking my pup out at night and we have coyotes near by always. POM oc spray is always on me due to me being able to toss it to one of my sons to have if they need to. Glock 23 gen 5 is my edc and sometimes my sig 229r in 40.
Nice. Solid setup Darren. Smart thinking about the OC as a secondary for your son. I appreciate the input.
Alex
One thing I don’t like about OC( I am a less lethal instructor) is the risk of second hand exposure. Typically I use oc for dog and if you have a large group you need to disperse
@@86keen It is definitely a concern if I ever have to deploy the oc. If it’s a split second decision the wind direction will not be considered and I could possibly have unintended targets.
@@darrenbishop4327 I did buy my wife and daughter who is in college Pom. They have no interest in carrying a gun(daughter no old enough either) so OC is better than nothing. I had the pleasure of receiving 3 full exposure within a year. We carry saber red and the shit definitely works.
@@86keen My wife carries sometimes but she very rarely carries on her. I don’t understood it but what can you do. She has Pom in her purse and if she’s ever mugged that’s the first thing that usually happens is the purse is taken. I’ll have to try the Sabre red.
Great video, 4 o’clock is how I carry also, it’s just more comfortable for my body type. 👍
Solid. Can't go wrong with 4 o'clock imo.
Alex
Great video guys. Thanks for sharing. I’m a little biased but I would have to add to always keep some medical too for EDC👍
You are correct man. I often carry a TQ, but I'm guilty of not carrying it all the time. Maybe 40%😬.
Thanks for the input man.
Matt’s edc setup when running is something I need, I always just carry a fix 3 inch knife and that’s it because Most of my bags are to big to run in …damn
Thank you I appreciate you watching .

You guys are absolutely correct! I’m always changing my EDC, summer months here in the Midwest I’m carrying a Ruger LCP 2 .380 winter months I may be carrying a Glock 26 or something of that nature and size!
Yeah same here. Where I live 120 degree summer days are the norm. Adjusting my carrier is a must.
@@IronInfidel absolutely!!

haha sorry about that man. Mine was Comptac victory gear and I believe Matt said his was G-code
@@IronInfidel haha your good 👍🏼 thanks for clarifying!!! I’ll check out the comptac, I know about G-code already.
Edc means nothing if you don't train. Please train with the firearm you plan to use. If you aren't familiar with drawing your pistol from whatever location your carrying it. You risk precious minutes fumbling around for it and it could cost you your life. Don't be afraid to put that holster on at home and practice drawing the pistol put of the holster. (Just make sure the chamber is empty and clip removed safety 1st)
Exactly! Dry practice can work wonders for your draw and weapon manipulation development. Thanks for the comment Jaime!

I am not 21 yet, so I don't carry a firearm, however, I do still have some basic EDC that I carry. on terms of knives, I carry a Kershaw Cyro II. It's a small pocket knife with assisted opening. It's legal in all 50 states, and if you know what you're doing, I've snuck it through multiple TSA's before. They're pretty easy to find if you have a scheels store nearby. Wallet: currently I use just a leather pouch, but I would love to get a ridge wallet, or something similar to what Alex has. Flashlight: I have a mechanics Pen light that I got off a tool truck a while back when I was working at a Dealership. It's super bright, rechargable, and reliable. My one thing with it is that it's pretty long as far as flashlights go. My ideal setup, would keep the Kershaw, get a shorter Flashlight (preferably from the same brand). Glock 17 mounted on the pelvis, and a Ridge wallet. I will say however, there have been times when for one reason or another, I have not had gear, and simply having situational awareness saved my life
Situational awareness is key. Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delayed response.

Yup I got 20 different handguns and I find myself carrying my p365 98% of the time.
I can carry it and not even know it’s there, some firearms are so big and heavy I never carry them.
Also think about how expensive holsters for all those firearms starts to be. And you don’t want to cheap out on a carry holster because often times the holster you have can make the difference between the firearm being comfortable or not comfortable to carr
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Good thing for LA County CCW's. Before that, I had to EDC a Taser Pulse in a We the People Holster and OC spray.

Check out the Hill People Gear Runners Kit Bags. It’s a chest pack that holds all your essentials while you run. Very affordable as well.
Nice, i'll check it out. Thanks for the tip brother. I appreciate ya.
Alex
I always have my air weight J frame on me. I might supplement it with another weapon in a higher risk environment, but I always have it. It’s so light and comfortable that I don’t have to carry off body. That chest bag looked interesting but I don’t feel comfortable having to unzip a bag in order to access my weapon. Just a personal preference.
I get that about having to access via a zipper.
Appendix carry is tough for me because I'm always doing work on my little two acre farm, always bending and working on things lifting stuff, 3-4 o'clock works best for me. I don't even worry about printing anymore.
