Most people think plate carriers are for wannabes or warzones. But if you’ve ever faced real chaos - like riots, active shooters, or civil unrest - you know better.
In this video, I break down why civilians should consider body armor, and how to actually set up a plate carrier for real-world use. No fluff, no mall ninja nonsense - just practical advice from experience.
🔎 Topics covered:
Why weight, mobility, and snag hazards matter more than “cool factor”
Mission-first mindset: protect your people, stay fast, get home
Why I only carry what I need - and why you should too
Civilian considerations vs. team-based setups
Urban vs. rural gear choices
✅ Gear used includes my Level IV ceramic plates from RTS Tactical.
[Yes, the ones we shot with a .338 LaPua]

🛠️ This isn’t about playing soldier. It’s about staying alive when the world gets dangerous.
