This is part one in my series on equipment considerations for the Southeastern United states. In this scenario, I am carrying enough equipment for a short ranged patrol that could flex into other roles or mission sets. This is not a verbatim packing list for every person, as considerations change with the circumstances of the individual and their environment. This is just equipment that I have found either works well for me, or equipment I am testing and reviewing. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

In my next video in this series I will cover what I would want to bring on a long range, multi day patrol, which will cover more in depth choices on food, water, shelter, and camouflage choice for the season within my region.

    Southeastern US is practically a jungle. Glad someone’s talking about operating in this harsh environment.
  • Glad you guys are growing. Something nice that happened to me this week: my daughter slept in her crib on her own, and through the night. Major win

    Becoming deadly in the southeast series should be BIG! Appalachia boy here we’ve got mountains and jungles. Nice to see this being done.
  • @bigb7157
    Many Southern boys and girls grew up in these deep woods. IMO it’s one of the best places to be with the tree cover and vegetation.

    Me and my wife are looking to buy our first house. I walked into work yesterday and randomly got a pay raise. My boss is hard to work for and sometimes I wonder if it’ll ever pay off. He said “I need someone dependable and I can count on you”. So yes, hard work pays off.

    Great video. One essential thing i added to my kit after moving to the south east from out west were bug nets. One for just my head and a full body one. Bonus tip from the local milsurp guy: Wear pet flea and tick collars around ankles to keep the chiggers and ticks off you.

    Finally we got some southeast boys in this realm of YouTube. Excited to see where this channel goes!
  • @RiskIt007
    Mosquito head net (very small and light), Hammock sleep system to stay off the ground for bugs and damp ground, more med. South Florida here, and a good fixed blade. Great Vid..

    I finally decided to go see a mental health professional
  • Us older guys have been running these web gear set ups since the 70s. Now days it's called war belt battle belt combat belt. It's all just called web gear to us. Same gear new names.

    I hiked throughout Sabal Palms, Everglades, and Big Cypress for over 3 or so years before moving up to NC. Belt kit reigns supreme in the bush. Good job brother.
  • I live in Central North Carolina 100 degrees with 100% humidity glad to see somebody doing something about the southeast our kits are totally different the most we have to go to more of a jungle type situation...
  • My wife and I spent the weekend at the lake here in E.Tenn with our oldest daughter and the three teenage grandchildren outdoors in nature, fishing, hiking,swimming, etc. No one on their cell phone, no complaining. I count it a blessing because our daughter is always at the hospital working her but off in the cardiac unit.

    As a proud service member and subscriber, I found out that my child is going to be a boy and is extremely healthy. Thats the best news I've had in about the last 8 years of service. I hope the channel does well and take care brother
  • @rileyfahl9787
    I love the south. Becoming deadly in it makes me love it more. Making the moist hell on earth my home like Francis Marion truly does inspire my inner patriot. Thank you brother. Love to train sometime if you’re open to it
  • Thermal scout monocular is a must as night vision alone will not identify most stationary concealed animals etc.
  • @pinegoon
    South Carolina Lowcountry Native here. Subbed. Quick and lightweight and well concealed, with the capability to deliver a nasty sting when needed. This is the way in the pines and the swamp. Keep up the good work.

    A buddy from work that I haven’t talked to in months invited me to church this Sunday. As far as I was tracking, he was atheist. I don’t know how he handled the crazy shit we used to do without God. Fond memories of landing in trees and closing with the enemy. Anyway, I’m so glad he returned to the Lord. Very excited to see him on Sunday. God bless yall
  • All those guntubers talk about setup in urban, cqb or flat range. Glad i found your video
