72 hour LBE_BOB Setup

[djlolypop]

That survival knife and saw knife all in cap specs?

[charper3006]

@djlolypop

Yes it is, however you must have it approved by your Ground Team Leader for carry.

[djlolypop]

How much do u think this all cost u I'm looking for a setup exactly like your for a Civil Air Patrol SARSEX

[charper3006]

@djlolypop

This set up probably around $100 or so WITHOUT the gear. Complete with gear you are looking at several hundred dollars. I have alot invested in my gear and I use it for different things, not just CAP. You can get a set up for much cheaper that will do the same thing though.

[whatthehellman1]

Hey there great vid, I have a similar system......love the lbe........I've looked around and was wondering where you got the ( woodland) casualty blanket? I can't find one.

[charper3006]

@whatthehellman1

Survival Resources sells them, so does REI.

Thanks for watching

[leongaines]

Truly Great video, especially for a newbie like myself preparing my BOB. I purchased the ALICE pack and thought it's GREAT, but an over kill for day trips or a 72hr bag. This is a GREAT alternative to a backpack 72hr BOB . If I needed more gear I can still ad a small backpack. I see my options from ALICE for longer term to my 72hour choices. Once again, great video!!! LG

@leongaines

Thanks for watching. I am glad it helped you.

[MrCrazzyDave]

that is a great use of a mag pouch, thank ya Semper Fi



[oldfmfcorpman]

p/prev. post- you carry your blanket on bottom of buttpack - do the same to the top of it w/ poncho. also a utility pouch to side of the pack w/grommets, significant increase in cu. in. storage in the pack for more goodies. ( use 81mm mortar rd. transport tubes to stuff them in for watertight integrity & abrasion protection) - also an inflatable pillow is a lifesaver for comfort.

[prattman84]

great ideas. thanks again!

[lpanneau]

good team

The purification of water is short

It is better to learn to make filters to purify water in nature

[TF2films1]

if you plan to go anywhere you nead a LOT more watar

[dodoinurpants]

Nice dude....real nice. Plus you can throw on a pack to haul extra gear, which will probably bee needed if SHTF ((*_*))

[MobFrenziedHomicide]

Cool setup, too chaotic for me, but Im ocd like that. Do you carry and filtration or purification for water?

[charper3006]

@MobFrenziedHomicide

For that set up, most of the time I carry purification tablets and I always have something to boil water for purification.

[zatebolt5]

good job

[lowphoenix]

Another great vid man. Your vids on attaching molle straps and the MSS carrier helped me out greatly. Keep up the great work!

[charper3006]

@lowphoenix

Thanks, I am glad it helped you out.

[TheWarhead3]

@charper3006 yes your vid helped me out with how to hook your suspenders up in the front i thought you had to get the m16 pouch to hook it up so thanks

[Tancrad]

very nice main butt pouch, ive been looking for a bigger one at army surplus stores up here in Canada, our butt packs are like half the size.

[charper3006]

@Tancrad

check out ebay and other online military stores.

[rainmechanic]

Whats the name brand of that Trauma Tarp? Calles?

Cant seem to find that by searching..

[charper3006]

@rainmechanic

Its called a "Casualty Blanket" also called an All weather blanket or All weather sports blanket. You can find them on the survival resources website.

[nroc13]

how would u attach the wool blanket

wouldnt that weigh down the back end?

[charper3006]

@nroc13

You can attach a wool blanket to the bottom of the butt pack if you want. I usually put it through the straps of the harness sitting on top of the butt pack and attach it with belt keepers to keep the weight higher.

[nroc13]

even though i have a snow peak 450 cup from cabelas

and it can go on fire

can canteen cups go on flames too

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Yes, the canteen cup can go on fire. I have used mine for years in the fire.

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Yes the US Stainless Steel Canteen Cup can go on a fire. I use mine all the time and have for years.

[nroc13]

what kind of food do u use for missions?

[charper3006]

@nroc13

I use Mres most of the time. I also pack some Granola bars and/or energy type bars for snacks and "quick grab" items if I am hungry on the trail or on a mission.

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Mostly Mres depending on how long I will be gone.

[nroc13]

i have a butt pack 2-1qt canteens and 2 molle pouches

and in the molle pouches is the "survival kit items" and

in the butt pack is mostly ramon noodles and tuna

ill buy a pot/cup soon but anyway is the food and survival

in good spot on my lbe?

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Yes they are in a good spot.  I would keep in the molle pouches a survival kit and the other a first aid kit. Then in the butt pack put food and everything else you need.

[nroc13]

@charper3006 for like food would u recommend ramon with tuna

those freeze dried camp food or MRE's and which is better

military mre's or civilian mre's

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Ramen noodles are ok, but you have to be able to boil water for them and they dont offer much nutrition. They are better if you put other things in them and maybe for like a base camp type meal.

As far as the Mres, I like the military version I think you get a little more in them, however the civilian ones are not bad either and they are sometimes cheaper.

[nroc13]

@charper3006 what kind of food would you recommend for CAP es missions?

[charper3006]

@nroc13

Most of the time, I carry Mres. Unless I can boil water and then I will carry the backpacking freeze dried type foods.

[Calbrazil2007]

Are you a senior in the Civil Air Patrol? I just joined and I'm a C/AB.

[charper3006]

@Calbrazil2007

Yes I am a 1LT and the Emergency Services Officer for our squadron.

[charper3006]

@TheRedHawk123

Thanks.  I do need to add some maps of the area.

[TheRedHawk123]

Very nice System. It's simple which is effective.

A good map of your area would be a nice add.

5/5

[andrewubaldi]

everyone adds expensive water purification tablets to there gear because the tablets don't alter the taste you may want to try bleach one gallon of bleach has the capability of purifying 3800 gallons of water just a recomendation

[charper3006]

I use several things. Iodine tablets, Katadyn Micropur tabs, my water filter, etc. I have bleach for the home use as another purification agent. However, I generally dont carry it in my kits.

[doggtowncowboy]

i have the same mag pouch on my lbe what ar ethe button up wings for on the side

[charper3006]

They are designed for Gernades. One on each side of the pouch. Most people cut them off, somtimes I put paracord in there.

[JimboJitsu]

nice, thanks for sharing!

[sirjacobthe8]

where ia the gun and water purification, other wise great i rated it 5 stars

[charper3006]

Thanks. Water purification is with the canteen in the form of purification tablets. No gun in this current configuration.  Depends on what the usage if I carry a gun.

[RedCellx6]

Nice kit

What do you have for water filtration/purification?

[charper3006]

With that kit, I use iodine tabs or boil the water. My filter is in my Alice pack.

[3charter]

Awesome setup! ★★★★★

[charper3006]

Thanks!

[beast12101]

that LBE makes a great platform, your setup would make a great get home bag to keep in your truck

[charper3006]

Thanks. Sometimes I keep it in my vehicle, however I do have a small backpack in there.

[nroc13]

nice vid where can i buy those belt packs and the belt stuff

[charper3006]

I got most of my equipment from military surplus stores. You can also find some good deals occassionally on ebay.

[nroc13]

@charper3006

to buy all this stuff could i get it from cc military surplus and what would the cost be of the packs and belts

[charper3006]

I dont think that CC Military has the belts and harness, however you can check. The prices will range from $15 for the belt, $8-12 for Harness, butt pack $10-15, m-16 pouches $2-5.00, SAW ammo pouches $5-15.

[nroc13]

@charper3006 well i live in minnisota are there any stores in mn that sell these belts and stuff

[charper3006]

I dont know if there are any stores in MN. You will have to Google search or look in your phone book.
