In this Shake Down, our US ARMY Green Beret friend "K" goes over the ins and outs of his Assault built LV119 Plate carrier, his URGI weapon system, helmet, belt, and his Sig Sauer pistol.

“Nothing crazy” “I like to keep things simple” - Random SF guy circa 2022

Guys, in case there was any doubt, there's nothing crazy on any of his kit. I can't stress this enough.

[drossi]

I’m glad his kit involves “nothing crazy” and he pointed that out to us.

The Buc-ee's Patch on the battery pack is just *Chef Kiss*

I’ve deployed twice in support of ODA’s in both Afghanistan and Syria and it blows my mind how similar all their kits are. I hung out with the D’s a bunch my first deployment and learned as much as I could from them and my 2nd tour they essentially were running their kit very similarly to me. Just really goes to show how good their training is because they carry the minimum for such a wide mission set from partner force training to DA in any environment. Truly professionals.

I was watching another channel last night about a retired Green Beret. He was talking about the downside of a career in special forces and proceeded to describe a very long list of broken bones, detached muscles, torn cartilages, etc. Then he talked about the high divorce rate and never seeing family. You gotta really want it to be one these guys. It's not something that I ever could have done but glad that we have brave men who step up to do this.

Lol he almost said tip to butt but caught himself 😂😂

[sofarchives]

Great video - definitely need to do more shakedowns with active service SOF guys!

[LiterateDuck]

He failed to mention the most important item: The Spiritus Blur.

[mrruthless]

Awesome stuff. Always a treat hearing from a professional and why he sets up his gear.

The "surefire light" is an Insight WMX-200 for anyone else curious about it.

I remember maybe 8 or 9 years ago when my cousin got back from working in Africa as a GB just before he went with the 3 letter guys. He had his "dumbed down" kit he had to carry with him in case he got a call, basically just a Spiritus with enough stuff to fall out the back of a truck and still be effective, his Ops Core and his "non service" rifle . It would be a pretty simple and standard set up nowadays, but back then it was the most high speed shit I'd ever seen. He told me that it was the gear he was cleared to carry during off hours because his duty gear had sensitive equipment that would usually be waiting for him on whatever plane they would send if he had to go to work. Most of the kit he had wouldn't be seen by the civilian market for quite a while, now every guntuber and IG cool guy has it. I can't imagine the type of shit he's got now..

Rep'n Buc-ee's is a vibe all on its own. Hell yeah brother.

[patrickavondale]

Love seeing shakedown videos they’re top notch

[zacharymiller]

Went shooting with a guy who is close friends with the dude who makes those belts! Definitely a solid belt! Love the videos Spiritus!

[richardmiller]

Thank you for your service to our country. Lots of comments here about you being a "new guy" but even if you are, who cares!? I have nothing but respect for ALL our troops, and am in awe of those in our Special Forces. The physical and mental toughness demands respect.

May God protect you and all our troops.

[dispassionateobserver]

I'm a gear head so I love videos like this.

[sterlingtaylor]

All his equipment is very accessible for the comon person. The only thing i see being crazy spendy are the NVGs and the MAWL. But i love these videos. All these videos are recipes for everyone to take notes and build there own setup.

[codybaker]

“Nothing crazy” has the best gear on the market lmao

[randomhero]

Thanks for doing this, awesome to see how these guys all seem to stick to KISS model. Really enjoy the content, thanks for putting this out
