SHTF Magazine Management Theory

have some on your kit... and have a bag FULL of mags in the car for an ammo dump. ezpz

You can make chest rig from bandolier. You just need that rubber rope with hooks at the end

We love Ass Facts 🗿👍

Ah, dump pouches...
"1911 mag, twinkie, twinkie, cup cake, primary weapon magazine. Oh, there it is." 😀

whats the chest rig you used in the beginning

Thanks for this. I probably won't really use most of this info because, like you said, the subject is fairly personal but it's nice to see a different perspective on it.

There are plenty of times you say something that is much more casual than other training guys will put out and at first I always wonder if you have some watered down opinion but the more I think about it the more I realize that you’re talking in a context where that one specific event is not everyone’s lives. I appreciate that.

Hope you dont get the covid taste fuck for 7 months like I did. Couldnt eat anything except straight unseasoned ground beef. Got ripped tho.

My go-to SHTF setup: Ultra low profile armor carrier (literally nothing but an armor pocket and elastic cummerbund) with a MOLLE vest and Condor LBE belt is how I run. Its a tiered setup. The vest holds 6 mags (308. 12 mags if running 5.56), IFAK, radio pouch, grenade pouches and a hydration bladder in the back. The Condor MOLLE belt has 6 more magazines, my ACOG pouch with a Steiner 5x prism backup optic (run a 3-12x44 scope as my primary optic), 2 canteen pouches with canteen + canteen cup and a buttpack with some easy access sustainment/living gear for when on the move. Poncho, camo net cloak, couple MREs, etc....
The real survival and shelter gear like my heavy duty tarp, sleep system, extra clothing, fire building and water purification equipment are all contained in a large ALICE pack.
Plus a bandolier of magazines and spare ammo on stripper clips in the pack.
Edit: A retort to the P Mag babdolier issue: Put the P Mags in the bandolier with alternating direction (69ing) and 2 will fit each pouch slot.

estacc makes a nice dump pouch, rolls up and ties with velcro.

Why would an American care what a European serf thinks or says? WE ARE STILL ARMED.

Always with the autism jokes 💩

Emdom Neo dump pouch, you're welcome.

Just buy mags he says.....i live in ma. 30 rounders are like gold. $50.00 for a 30 year old one and your hunting for it

I love u ass facts but for TLDR: don’t retain magazines in combat

Hop is the reason my feed is mostly cats.

I still dont understand the infatuation with the magazine that is not in the gun.

A friends unit lost a loaded AR mag in the snow in Japan, they spent a week looking in the snow lol, it was a massive deal, article 15's etc just flying around, they found that magazine lol

I run a SKS and chicom type 56 chest rig and a real tree hunting fanny pack 5 30rd mags with 3 20rs back up mags with 60rd on stripper clips and feel this isgood enough

If you're looking for a good dump pouch the USMC surplus is grate. There about $12 and roll up small.

I remember reading in No Easy Day how Mark Owen took two (2) extra magazines with him on the Bin Laden mission. After having received a Silver Star for the long gun battle he'd been in.

Normi ite domum

You’re late Brock. Where is the video??

I have a couple of shoulder type bags, could call them satchel’s! They can hold 6 30 rd AR mags. A plus is that they can also hold 30 rd glock mags, yes they can hold 12 of those great for the guy who is keen on pcc’s, like me!😅

You in Bejing that's funny, let's just say it's more likely g0-0ks are ringing your door bell.

After years of courses and training involved speed reloads, reloads with retention, etc., I've come down to this:
-I practice one way to get the empty mag out, new mag in, ASAP. I don't bother about keeping empties, or retaining.
-I will probably have 5 mags, 4 and one in the well. I'm prepared to lose all 5.
-I have big stashes of mags at, and around, my place. I will go and get some more, if need be. I have no intention of roaming the wasteland engaging in firefights.
-As I've said here before, I am not going to "fight like a soldier". I believe that's a losing proposition.

Huh. Cool vid.
Thanks.

Brass Facts: “Why do I know what piss tastes like?”

Me: Because it’s sterile and I like the taste!

i train mag retention, because im not part of the military industrial complex. and yet, when i need a fresh mag rtf now, say in a comp, i throw it away from me like it stinks. training scars are not real. carry on.

As much as I see the sense in what you're saying, the dump pouch attempts had the same vibes as "white people in a 2000's grayed out informercial" lowkey

Nice vid per usual BF

My shtf loadout? Swim trunks, unbuttoned pink hawaiian shirt, aviators, flip flops, straw hat and a m134 minigun, with the ammo pack on a radio flyer wagon.

Red Bull is piss. You can just now taste through the BS, because your "eyes" were opened to it via Co-vid.
I'm trying to build a chest rig right now, so thanks for the theory..

What I've seen from Ukraine is 3+1 mags being very popular for raiding trenches and the like. From what I have heard, they usually also have more mags elsewhere but 3+1 is expected to enough for quick access.

Now, how much of that is logistics of a military + drones + fire support + reinforcements + everything else that comes with being in a military? I'm not sure. It may be that these attacks are intended to be the first dudes in, so they clear out what they can and make room for everyone else who has a heavier kit to finish sweeping the area. Since they are only expected to get a foothold, they aren't going to be fighting for fire superiority with suppressive fire, they are going to be shooting individual people who are responding to gunshots or who are unfortunate enough to not realize they are the ingress point. These are just guesses though.

I came to a random realization: "Prepared citizens" are just people LARPing. But that is the point. Humans, especially males, are biologically hardwired to have a need to practice combat/hunting tactics with a team, mostly because that is how humans and our ancestors survived for hundreds of thousands of years. That is the entire reason for stuff like sports. So, doing stuff like this may never come up, but it DOES have the practical effect of satisfying things our biology thinks we need to do, which makes us MUCH happier. While there are many other ways to do it, some people can't have too many levels of abstraction from the core need, so, they practice martial skills with a team.

Next step for Ass Facts: The team practices kiting a bear with spears and rocks to take it down and defend the tribe :D

There’s a time to retain mags, and a time to not bother. Ultimately, if you win, you’ll have all the time in the world to pick up your empties and otherwise resupply from former enemies. If you don’t win, who cares?

9 mags on the vest, one in the gun. And 2 dump pouches.
Totally free to drop it...in the pouch.

showing dump pouch at the waffle house

you will only ever have as many magazines as you are carrying on your person. whatever you left at home is useless to you. if we're talking SHTF, your home is nothing but a target. you should never return to it. the only way you're gonna get more mags is by taking them off a corpse. not exactly a reliable source. in any case, you should never be in a situation where you need to perform an emergency reload. that's only relevant in a room clearing environment, which is suicidal for any irregular to attempt in the first place.

What doctor do you play on tv?

I retain my mags because i spent 30$ on that shit and its mine.

Ass facts here …

Oh yeah this is real tism time

Fact, redbull always ... oh you just said it 😂

The Tarkov thumbnail got me to click now I’m just learning 🤣

A self-proclaimed "chump ass civilian" - that seems to be a surprisingly honest assessment.

Update: Red Bull no longer taste piss





:(
