the (beep)s hit the fan and you got to grab your belt and go to work
how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel today we're going
to be talking about your battle bell or your war belt
setup this is your minuteman gear the ship's hit the fan and you got to grab
your belt and go to work now how exactly are you going to have
that belt set up everybody's different your priorities may be different than
mine but i'm going to show you how i set up my battle belt
if you haven't done it yet guys make sure you hit that subscribe button down
below hit that notification bell so you get notified every time we upload new
videos
all right guys now this is my battle belt setup and we'll just start with the
belt itself and work our way around and show you everything that's on here
the belt itself is a tough products belt it's very thick and rigid and it holds
its shape even under all this weight it is not a
cobra buckle belt obviously but it does have a very nice
buckle system it's got your traditional two
pinch pins here on the side but you also have a locking point right here so that
middle button you just hit that and hit those at the
same time and that'll lock it up you have infinite adjustability here it
just wraps around in velcros they still have
several sizes available so they will have one that fits you belt
does come with an inner belt as well so you would put on the inner
velcro belt through your belt loops on your pants and then this belt
would just wrap around the outside and stick to the inner belt
that is nice but i've chosen to do something a little bit different i
decided to go with this battle belt pad from high speed
gear what that allows me to do is just throw
this belt on over top of anything that i happen to be wearing i don't have to
have the inner belt for this belt to be stable because the
inside of this belt pad has this really tacky soft rubber
material that's really going to grip onto your waist whenever you put it on
so if in an emergency situation i needed to grab this belt and put it on
all i'd have to do is wrap around clip it in and it's going to grip to my waist
and be nice and sturdy and secure the other cool thing about this belt pad
is you can see that it has these slits here
where you can weave your belt through in and out of those slits
not only is that going to hold it onto your belt very securely
but it's also going to allow you to open it up where you can put
all of your attachments and pouches and holsters and whatever
anywhere you want to on this belt system that's just going to help it be
more secure and keep everything right where you want it
now let's get into the pouches and stuff so the first thing here around my left
side is a double pistol mag pouch from
bladetech it's a very nice double mag pouch it'll
hold pretty much any double stack magazine securely while
also allowing you to get it out quickly when you need to right behind that
i have a single bladetech ar-15 mag pouch and i know you guys can't see it
but those pouches are held on with their
tech lock system so i can actually just
take these on and off anytime i want to and it's got that
tech lock where it just locks into place so i could easily swap those
in and out bladetech has a lot of really nice modular features like that so
that's why i choose to go with bladetech stuff
so right behind that i just have a condor double mag pouch
inside of that we have a multi-tool this is the leatherman oht it's their
one-handed tool that's very nice i might end up doing a review on that
sometime but i really like that multi-tool
and then right here is just a good flashlight this is an
la police gear um 700 lumen flashlight so really any flashlight uh is good
there you want to make sure you get something pretty good quality
now right here at my six o'clock this is dead center on my back
is going to be the dump pouch this is just a condor
dump pouch and you see that it just opens up like that
and that can be used to retain used magazines once my magazine runs dry
i can toss them in there but more often than not
ends up with just kind of miscellaneous stuff
snacks drinks trash whatever you know yeah i end up needing it for
but that is nice it packs up nice and small so it doesn't really get in the
way of anything now going on around
this is going to be about the four o'clock position this is my med kit
now i don't have a huge extensive med kit on here on this belt
i don't want something to be big and bulky and take up a lot of space
and make it where my belt is is not functional
so this is a small medical kit from 1110 they make some really nice medical
pouches and this is one of their small compact ones and i'll just break this
open and show you what's in here so it has velcro it also has a button
here snap so you can securely snap it down
but you'll see something already fell out is just some
nitrile gloves and there's also some antiseptic wipes
in there and this kit because it's so small it's
only going to have the essentials so next inside of there is a swat tea
tourniquet i chose a swat tea just because it's
nice and small and it'll still get the job done i
really like these swat tea tourniquets because they're really nice to be able
to just throw in a pocket and you can always have a tourniquet on
you and it just works out perfect for this little
pouch that i have i also have some quick clot combat gauze
in there like i said this is going to be just the essentials this is the stuff i
need to stop a major bleed a gunshot wound or something like that
and not going to have any room in here for little
boo-boo stuff it's just the essentials to stop like some something major so
like i said i got the tourniquet got the combat gauze got some stuff to keep
clean and also just some duct tape wrapped
around a card there as always nice to have as well for
holding bandages in place and stuff like that
so that's the medical kit i know some of you are going to give me a hard time
about that but um it works for me
all right going on around i know you are looking at the gun so i will take a look
at this this is my smith and wesson m p pro nine millimeter
the five inch barrel i have the sp mag extensions on there
and uh this is a bladetech classic holster i really like that holster
something else i think is really crucial about
this type of setup is um maybe you guys have that one gun that you're always
going to be using but me specifically i i'm not always
running the same gun so it's nice to be able to swap out
holsters and i don't want to have to take this
entire belt apart to put a new holster on here every time i want to do that
so bladetech has this really cool system here
is there it's their tmms system so you just unlock
you grab this tab here on the bottom and pull up
and that holster is just going to come right off of there you can put this
attachment system on multiple holsters and that way you
can easily just swap out holsters
and now it's nice and tight and secure i didn't have to
take the belt apart i didn't have to take the holster off the belt or
anything all i had to do is grab this tab
on the bottom pull up and then swap out that holster and that it and
then just hit the little locking tab here on the
side that is super awesome i love the tmms system
from bladetech now something else you might
have noticed here is i do have a drop and offset
now i did try the drop offset from bladetech and that worked okay
but i just really like how the safariland mid ride one
feels on my leg and works on the holster and everything so i did
modify a safariland mid ride drop offset to work with my bladetech system
here i know safariland has that type of
system as well but i already had all the bladetech
holsters so this just worked out great for me
now you can see down here i also have a leg strap from
t-rex arms i just feed it right through here and it works out great
when you're running some type of drop system with a leg strap
a lot of times you'll see those guys in the movies that have it all way halfway
down their leg and stuff that's really not what you want the main
goal for having the drop on your holster is just so it's a little bit more
natural to get to it also get drops it down low and out of
the way of your plate carrier system if you're wearing a plate carrier
so you won't don't want it super low and so i'm using the mid ride system
and this leg strap is nice and tight right up
at the top of my thigh so this to me guys is a really great system i
it has worked out good for me i feel like it's got everything i need and
nothing that i don't i know everybody's belt setup is going
to be different so if y'all have any suggestions or anything
like that make sure you leave them in the comments below
