 Hey guys, Dylan Schumacher with Citadel Defense and today we are going to take a look at my current plate carrier set up So I'll just kind of go through what I got here. This is in general kind of my level 2 or line 2 gear, right? so starting on the Front because that's probably the easiest place to start here So I currently run four mags up front here, and this is on a Haley strategic Chest rig. This is of the old gen one with this pretty worthless Multi pouch thing up front here. The new ones don't have this they got rid of this And then they just gave you four pistol mag pouches or grenade pouches or Flashlights or multi-tool or whatever you can fit in here kind of across the front They realized this was not very useful and got rid of it. So That's what that is. I just kind of try to tighten up a lot. I might eventually just cut it off I've been debating about that. There's really not a whole lot of use for it. Love the rig otherwise just not That pouch it has these two kind of small-ish little GP pouches on the side But you can just put kind of general items in right now. There's nothing in this one I don't run and that's not true. I run a handcuff key on a piece of a paracord that can be removed On that side on this side. I run the actual Handcuffs that that that key goes to so that's what happens on that side The mags the mag pouches themselves have a plastic insert at them in them so that you can index them in easily I run all that except one my theory here is this is kind of my last-ditch mag no matter what happens I will always have this mag because it has a bungee on it I don't want to mess with the other bungees because in general. I like to keep my mags easier to excess now granted my primary reload is off my belt right if you've seen my Belt battle belt video. I run two mags off my belt So these are not my primary reloads But I still like them easier to index and re-index and when you have a bungee like this It's harder to re-index the mag and that's what I'm more concerned about with that. I don't run any pistol mags up front because I run those off my belt and I just don't need the extra weight up front if I'm down To my fifth pistol mag and I'm all out of rifle bullets I'm having a really really bad day and something went horribly wrong that that last pistol mag probably is not gonna fix Right, so that's the front. That's ammo. So my theory here is I want to keep all the mission essential gear up front, right? So mags and frags right so in this case it's just four mags across the front I have the handcuffs in here those float in and out, you know, they're not always they don't live there Sometimes doing there sometimes they're not But that's obviously it up front The chest rig itself has a little admin pouch and not the chest rig the plate carrier itself Has a little Admin pouch up here. It's about that deep. It's how far I can put my hand in I never use that for anything It's too awkward to get when it's actually on to try to undo this tab and stuff So that's just not easy for those of you don't know this rig Is velcroed on so they have a piece of hard-sided velcro here There's soft-sided velcro on your carrier It flops down and then it's attached up here by these two buckles that buckle right into the plate carrier itself The plate carrier is a AR 500 plate carrier. I've been pretty happy with it My only gripe is I wish I would have ordered it in multi-cam, but that's on me That's not in them. I'm trying to get all my stuff to match these days to be cute I will annotate it in here, but I believe it is a Veritas Plate carrier. I don't honestly remember possibly a tostito I'm not honestly sure so I'll have to double-check on that liked it so far very comfortable The plates I'm running are level four plates. They're from battle steel So they're level four ceramic plates Think they're about a hundred bucks pop really really affordable for a level four plate So a big fan of that on the sides here. You do have two more kind of clips the cummerbund I've attached Swift clips so that I can I can tighten in that Chest rig closer to carrier. I like that so it sits tight against your abdomen And otherwise this can kind of flop around a little bit, but when this is pulled tight It sticks with you. I like all my gear to stick with me. I don't want anything loose or bouncing around or whatever So as little that as possible On the side here, this is this is a med pouch obviously right as designated. This is also an AR 500 Pouch, and this is just a basic med gear pouch I will say there is not currently a tourniquet in here and that needs to change. I'm working on that But I have other tourniquets. I just decided I want to get a ratcheting Tourniquet and that's what'll eventually either live on top or maybe live on the side right here But there will be a tourniquet in here. I do carry a tourniquet on my belt and another med kit there So this is a redundancy Now some people will not like this, but I'm considering just removing this entirely And just running my primary med kit off my belt. I know that's heresy in some circles, but my med kit is for me It's not for you So if I get shot I want us to deal with it, but this is a redundancy not a primary med kit On the back nothing much here. Let's see if I can turn this I Just have this carabiner because it's a climbing grade carabiner I didn't really have anywhere put it and that's why I threw it on there Okay, drag handle on the back velcro Mali blah blah nothing too much going on there So that's it. That's my plate carrier. It is exceedingly simple Like I said, I'm just running mags and medical and that's that's really about it So there's nothing fancy going on here I think that is it would love to or not to hear any comments I guess if you like it or don't like it, I really don't care again. It's my plate carrier. It's not yours Do brave deeds and endure
