72 Hour Load Bearing Equipment 2/3

In this series I will show you a modified version of the US issue LC-2 LBE (load bearing equipment). This system is specifically setup as a 72 hour survival kit to be used as is without the addition of a backpack. This system is designed to be survival / evasion type gear, NOT a traditional tactical type system. This kit is more of a bare bones kit mainly consisting of essentials to support one person for 1 to 3 days on the move. It is designed to be a lightweight, mobile, and adaptable solution to carrying essential gear in the field. This system is also a perfect setup for day hiking. Video 2 of 3.

what about instead of all tuna, rice, granola, and cliff bars....why dont you subsitute that for milatary MRE's and cliff/granola bars as extras

[PackRat556]

You could. I used to use MRE's all the time but I have lost my taste for them somewhat and they are not as readily available. They have also become very expensive as well about $8.00 per meal when I can find them in my area. This is an alternative that is much cheaper and is readily available from my local grocery store. I would recommend for people to use what they feel the most comfortable with, as both are good options. Thank you for watching and sharing this!

This might sound crazy but I put a brown tarp in my buttpack, mosquito net couple tough paperclips (ones that hold a bunch of papers together) and paracord in my buttpack to make a pup tent. I am currently looking for the MOLLE style knife holder that I can put on the left suspender where you have your compass. It is great to have that knife real close and off the hip. Great vids as always!

[PackRat556]

Sounds like good gear to have. I use my issue poncho and paracord to create my shelter. Hey, just an idea, use some ranger bands to attach your knife to the suspender in it's regular sheath. You can buy them or make them. I have this done on my tactical setup. My knife is on my left shoulder inverted as you say, for easy access. (USMC Ka-Bar). I hope to post a short video on this soon.

Your tin box is more than enough to make this video 5 stars. Thanks again for sharing all your work and effort in preparing.

You have room to tape a utility razor to the lid of your tin.

@resadrianlk - If interested still I have one of those books up for sale now. Reply back to message if you'd like to buy it. $15 shipped anywhere in the USA or Canada. This book is very rare.

@shores08 yes. And the fact they are completly AWFUL for you. I have super ventricular Tachycardia. First time I tired this I went right into a tachycardia episode.

[shores08]

hey I dont know if you know this or not but 5 hr enegery takes a lot of water from your body and will dehydrate you really really fast!!

[colddrake80]

I would recommend replacing the thread with a nice, big spool of dental floss. Great thread and you can use for cleaning your teeth as well. I would also recommend an Inuit Thimble. They can be made from cardboard but I think a purpose built one from thick leather would be better and allow you to push your needles through the tough material of your equipment easier.

I call this american idiocy surrvival pack. Do you carry a lap top?
