Plate Carrier Setup: Velocity Scarab LT

[Music] [Music] I'd hate folks were going over a body armor and what you're looking at here is the velocity systems scarab light I chose this for a couple different reasons one is the shoulder cutouts right here shoulder may be the very first thing I'll look at when I look at an armor setup as the shoulders I don't want too wide and a lot of times you'll have these big padded things really hey that makes a lot of sense but they just fill up with sweat they're always riding up your neck and pinching your collar and it's just obnoxious so the idea is not to get the biggest padded monstrosity that you can get you want something nice comfortable and something that holds it well and also stuff I like these little covers that will hide my comms cables and whatnot so that's a nice little bonus and you also kind of see this V cutout what you want in these cutouts right here is sufficient shoulder so that you can be able to take your boom stick this is Sharon Jean guys say hello Sharon Jean hey Sharon Jean and with all of her amenities normally when I'm rockin and rollin with my monkey suit on here I go ahead and crush this in a little bit more so that I'm able to have it in tighter but what I essentially want is to be able to take this buttstock and put it in a shoulder right here this also while I teach people to go ahead and push the shoulder in because you need every bit of push you can if you kind of Weaver out when you're in your monkey suit right here it'll slip off a big shoulder pad right here straight off so you want to make sure that this is not really wide bulky or it doesn't have any big Clips right there all that stuff's no good make sure that it's real thin line also what I like about the velocity Scarabus in the back right here you can't see it it's really covered up anyway but it's got these like circular d-ring things so that the clips in the back don't turn sideways and up the sizing on either side and doesn't be uncomfortable anyway I don't get any hot spots I can wear this for hours at a time and after I've been wearing you know full monkey suit kit for hours at a time at the end of it I'm kind of like hey this sucks but it doesn't suck nearly as bad as other armor kits are so I feel I don't feel as sorry for myself after that as I would and something else some of you are saying suck it up I'm like yeah that's the idea bro I'm just I'm trying to make a video a little easier to watch by injecting my almost dad almost funny dad humor into it so let's get back and party on here the come per button pieces right here good it's got this mess so it's highly breathable it's really quick on and off so that I can just basically lift this up by the way obviously it's gonna come as a slipped out carrier and I've gone ahead and put all my Kuchar mitts on there this is a spiritus panel right here and it just basically clips in it's one two Clips right here one clip you can literally just pull the whole deal off so pretty quick on and off I had originally gotten a Mayflower Recon but I got like a recon vest but it had the radio pouches on the side which is something I wanted and in retrospect it kind of flops around which I hate it and then you can clip it into the side but then it's real hard to get in and out compared to this so I went to just the placard that you see here which is really cool and minimalistic so I want to keep the sides as clear as possible once so that doesn't impede your draw stroke and you're gonna be able to draw and present real well right here and then this one it's unfortunate but I need a good beefy medical kit this is my eye FAQ on steroids this is my other eye FAQ right here and this is a really good one I've done video reviews on a lot of this stuff so for instance the medical here and here you guys need to check out that video and make sure you look at product there I've also done one on the war belt right here this is a warrior poet Society branded belt yes with blue alpha gear and we kind of killed it on it so anyway make sure you check that out all the stuff I'll talk about almost all of it to include helmets and boom sticks here will be below this video in the description so if you're interested in some of that some of those affiliate links will actually help the channel and help the movement so if you use those some of them will help some of them won't but anyway it at least be easier for you so back to this party here and here we go this was the spirit of system inside here I've got lensatic compass a GPS I got a bunch of batteries right here I've got a couple markers because you need them you know always just practical stuff here this is the blue force gear mark oh it's pretty cool so I don't have to have a big dangled met back in my day I'll go and flash a picture up for you guys in my old monkey suits that was issued to me in Ranger Battalion so party on but we had these big kind of rubber band pieces of kin lights and stuff for marking casualties or you know points of ingress egress you know entry points breach points whatever you wanted to do this right here literally you just push it off to one end and then you pull up and snap it and you drop it so these things are really cool good job being smart blue force gear then you also of course need one of these guys right here just a little Leatherman tool I don't know what it is I just have that so party on um let's see I got my comms my PTT my comms radio tourniquets big deal I've got one soft tea wide right here so that's good this is also a cat right here and real quick deploy stuff and I like this because it kind of protects it from all the grit and UV it protects it and just kind of keeps it last in a little bit longer have a third turn to get back here and some of you are like holy tourniquet central yeah I just you know three is two two is one one and one is none but regardless I like tourniquets and I get to carry whatever I want and they weigh like point oh one ounces so back up off of me bro let's see I've got some scissors some tape I got my gloves right here some shooting gloves these are vertex gloves got my water right here built into my back panel the belt I've got s tack pouches right here in the back there's a blue force gear dump pouch if I pull this right here a little dump pouch pulls out these are awesome medical let's see and then my blaster right here it is a TLR eight pretty cool it is unloaded guys before you freak out there's always one and I want to keep this side free and clear for that draw stroke think about content when you get carriers as well so that you're not preparing for someone else's context that doesn't really match you if you're law enforcement you don't need a lymphatic compass right you're gonna have 30 medical or 30 magazines and no medical you're a dummy make sure that you're you know think through all the things that you would need and in what order like I've got a bunch of stuff on my pack here and it's stuff that I can't reach all of a sudden something I really needed goes down I need batteries and the batteries are in the back well joke's on me I'm an idiot and I can't reach it back here unless I'm really fast so like I'll keep working on it some of you laughed out loud and that means you have a bad sense of humor just like me I'm nail a nail that joke that was an awesome joke if I need more storage space here's a little dangler right here these are pretty cool that's where I can just literally pop this up here and voila so I'm driving me crazy if that's not centered but uh anyway let's look at the back and I've got my microphone in here so the whole kit because they got nice plates in there you can pick it up with one pinky and some of you will just say John you have a really strong pinky you see my hand shaking a little bit because that's not anyway in the back I've got uh extra just little foam earplugs because I always make sure have ear protection and triplicate I've got a couple Clif bars because that stuff's real you got to have toilet paper Clif bars lots of water spare batteries for my radio y'all ask what everything is this is a harris p 7100 really cool and I've got a radio guy that's programmed this in so all I can listen into all kinds of cool stuff as well as have amateur stuff built in and my own poor man's encryption is he'll call it so as I have my own little fleet of radios I can distribute out some radios and we can literally talk to each other really effectively so I've got that and some will be like what do you need that as a civilian form like dude back up off me I got what I got and because I can let's see I've got my camel back this is just something to write on but I got this from command military supply it's like one of those Ranger joash stores and this allows me from like tlps op orders and all kinds of stuff I teach a long-range patrol class and so not very often but it's got all the little TLPs built in for you so you can do that and I've also got sted ler map markers where's my eraser my erasers in there somewhere so I can write on this and it's laminated so pretty cool and then I've got all kinds other little things of snacks let's see water purification tablets space blanket that's like a big sleeping bag so I can survive if I need to so anyway it's kind of a neat little mix where I'm preparing for zombie apocalypse I can kind of have a little bit of survival elements to it as well I didn't show you how the back panel works this is the Scarab and so literally you can just zip it off and this whole panel comes off so that you can run slick if you wanted to or and there's all kinds of different panels as well but I like this because it doesn't shake around when you run and it keeps it nice and close to your back and just lots of storage options for you so that's pretty cool you could even have multiple different storage you know storage pouches and depending on your mission what you wanted to do you could zip one off and put the other one on so you all of a sudden you know if you're more survivalist sticker who knows whatever your content context is but you can have little pouches ready for each individual mission that you might go through a vertex gloves these are things are cool and these are more shooter centric this is more like assault gloves I've got a bunch of sets of these and I think they're really cool I haven't done a review on gloves there's some really cool stuff out there nothing feels quite as good as the pig skins but they wear out I mean if you look at them the wrong way they fall to ash I think these last pretty good and I'm giving them a good go now so uh pretty fun stuff guys go ahead and subscribe to the channel I'd appreciate it like and share and that would be real cool if you have a different system that you really like you brulee hey what about the cry JP c8 there's lots of good systems out there they're a-ok I looked at a whole bunch of stuff and I was most excited about the Scarab and a lot of it was the mounting option for the back panel because I always want to be able to throw stuff on my back so there you go anyway guys train hard train smart and I will see you next time
